LIFE(R)-------------
INSURANCE CONTRACTS
This prospectus describes certain variable life insurance contracts issued by
Pruco Life Insurance Company ("Pruco Life"), a stock life insurance company that
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Prudential Insurance Company of America
("Prudential"). Pruco Life calls these contracts its Variable APPRECIABLE
LIFE(R) Insurance Contracts* (the "Contract"). As of May 1, 1992, these
Contracts are no longer available for sale. These Contracts provide whole-life
insurance protection. That is, they provide lifetime insurance coverage, as long
as scheduled premiums are paid or charges are provided for by favorable
investment experience. They also generally provide a cash surrender value for
the owner if the Contract is terminated during the insured's lifetime. A
purchaser may choose one form of this Contract which provides a death benefit
that remains fixed in the amount initially selected (unless it is increased by
Pruco Life to ensure that the Contract maintains its status as life insurance
under the Internal Revenue Code) or a second form which provides a death benefit
that varies daily with the investment performance of the subaccounts of the
Pruco Life Variable Appreciable Account (the "Account") to which the owner
allocates the invested portion of the premiums. Even under the second form of
Contract, however, investment performance cannot cause the death benefit to be
less than a guaranteed minimum amount (the face amount specified in the
Contract). The cash surrender value of a Contract generally increases with the
payment of each premium, and it also varies daily with investment performance.
The cash surrender value also decreases to reflect the imposition of charges.
There is no guaranteed minimum cash surrender value.
A portion of the Contract's premiums and the earnings on those premiums will be
held in one or more of the following ways. They can be invested in one or more
of thirteen current subaccounts of the Account. They can be allocated to a
FIXED-RATE OPTION. Or, they can be invested in the Pruco Life Variable Contract
Real Property Account (the "REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT") which is described in a
prospectus that is attached to this one. If one or more of the subaccounts is
chosen, the assets of each subaccount will be invested in a corresponding
portfolio of The Prudential Series Fund, Inc. (the "Series Fund"). The attached
prospectus for the Series Fund and its statement of additional information
describe the investment objectives of and the risks of investing in the thirteen
portfolios of the Series Fund currently available to Contract owners: the MONEY
MARKET PORTFOLIO, the DIVERSIFIED BOND PORTFOLIO, the GOVERNMENT INCOME
PORTFOLIO, the CONSERVATIVE BALANCED PORTFOLIO, the FLEXIBLE MANAGED PORTFOLIO,
the HIGH YIELD BOND PORTFOLIO, the STOCK INDEX PORTFOLIO, the EQUITY INCOME
PORTFOLIO, the EQUITY PORTFOLIO, the PRUDENTIAL JENNISON PORTFOLIO, the SMALL
CAPITALIZATION STOCK PORTFOLIO, the GLOBAL PORTFOLIO, and the NATURAL RESOURCES
PORTFOLIO. Other subaccounts and portfolios may be added in the future. Interest
is credited daily upon any portion of the premium payment allocated to the
fixed-rate option at rates periodically declared by Pruco Life in its sole
discretion but never less than 4%. This prospectus describes the Contracts
generally and the Pruco Life Variable Appreciable Account.
THE REPLACEMENT OF LIFE INSURANCE IS GENERALLY NOT IN THE INTEREST OF THE
CUSTOMER. IN MOST CASES, WHEN A CUSTOMER REQUIRES ADDITIONAL COVERAGE, A NEW
POLICY SUPPLEMENTING THE EXISTING POLICY SHOULD BE REQUESTED, THEREBY PROTECTING
THE BENEFITS OF THE ORIGINAL POLICY. IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING REPLACING A POLICY,
YOU SHOULD COMPARE THE BENEFITS AND COSTS OF SUPPLEMENTING YOUR EXISTING POLICY
WITH THE BENEFITS AND COSTS OF PURCHASING THE CONTRACT DESCRIBED IN THIS
PROSPECTUS AND YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH A QUALIFIED TAX ADVISOR.
PLEASE READ THIS PROSPECTUS AND KEEP IT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. IT IS ATTACHED TO
A CURRENT PROSPECTUS FOR THE PRUDENTIAL SERIES FUND, INC. AND A CURRENT

<PAGE>
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTRACT
The Variable APPRECIABLE LIFE Insurance Contracts (the "Contract") described in
this prospectus are in many respects similar to conventional "fixed-benefit"
whole-life insurance. Like conventional whole-life insurance, the Contracts
provide a guaranteed death benefit for the insured's lifetime if scheduled
premiums are paid; due to the pooling of mortality risks, this death benefit is
many times the scheduled annual premium. The Contracts also have similarities to
what have become generally known as "universal life" insurance policies. Like
universal life insurance policies, the Contracts permit an owner considerable
flexibility in paying premiums and adjusting the face amount of insurance. To a
significant extent the Contracts provide features and choices for the Contract
owner that differ from those provided by either of those types of life insurance
policies. As of May 1, 1992, these Contracts are no longer available for sale.
The Contracts are first and foremost life insurance. They provide insurance
protection for the entire lifetime of the insured. But the Contracts also have
significant and useful investment features. The Contract owner decides in which
investment option[s] the amounts held under the Contract--derived from the
payment of premiums and the earnings thereon--will be invested, and the cash
surrender value of the Contract will increase with favorable investment
experience and decrease with unfavorable investment experience. The cash
surrender value of a Contract also reflects the imposition of the various
Contract charges. The Contract owner will be able, from time to time, to
reallocate and transfer amounts invested under the Contract among the various
subaccounts, the fixed-rate option, and the Real Property Account.
The owner may choose either of two Contract Forms. Under Contract Form A, the
death benefit remains fixed in amount (unless the Contract becomes paid-up or,
under a newer version of the Contract that first began to be sold in most
jurisdictions in September of 1986, unless the death benefit is increased to
ensure that the Contract continues to satisfy the Internal Revenue Code's
definition of life insurance) and only the cash surrender value will vary with
investment experience. Under Contract Form B, both the death benefit and the
cash surrender value will vary with investment experience, but the death benefit
will never be less than the face amount regardless of investment experience.
There is no minimum cash surrender value under either form of the Contract.
(Throughout this prospectus, unless we specifically state otherwise, all
descriptions of and references to the "Contract" apply to both old and new Form
A and Form B Contracts.)
There is a special feature applicable to Contracts issued on insureds who are 14
years of age or less. Under such Contracts, the face amount increases to 150% of
the initial face amount on the first Contract anniversary after the insured
reaches the age of 21, provided the Contract is not then in default. This new
face amount becomes the new guaranteed minimum death benefit. In addition, in
those states where it is approved, a Contract owner may have the right under
certain conditions to increase or decrease the face amount of insurance. In the
case of an increase in face amount, one of the conditions is the provision of
evidence of insurability satisfactory to Pruco Life Insurance Company ("Pruco
Life"). See INCREASES IN FACE AMOUNT, page 18 and DECREASES IN FACE AMOUNT, page
19.
One significant feature of the Contract is the flexibility it provides the
Contract owner with respect to the payment of premiums. Each Contract has a
scheduled premium payable annually, semi-annually, quarterly or monthly. But the
Contract owner is generally permitted, within very broad limits, to pay greater
than scheduled premiums and the net portion of such payments will promptly be
invested in the manner previously selected by the owner. Cash surrender values
will generally be increased whenever premiums are paid; and unless earlier
unfavorable investment experience must first be offset, the amount payable upon
death under Contract Form B will also generally be increased by the payment of
premiums. Subsequent values under the Contract will increase or decrease with
subsequent investment experience to reflect the amounts invested under the
Contract.
As long as scheduled premiums are paid on or before the due dates (or within a
61-day grace period after the scheduled due date) and missed premiums are made
up later with interest, the Contract will not lapse, even if investment
experience is unfavorable. Thus, the payment of scheduled premiums guarantees
insurance protection at least equal to the face amount of the Contract.
However, the failure to pay a minimum scheduled premium will not necessarily
result in lapse of the Contract. If the net investment experience has been
greater than the 4% assumed net rate of return used by Pruco Life's actuaries in
designing this Contract, with a consequent increase in the amount invested under
the Contract, and the Contract owner then fails to pay premiums when due, Pruco
Life will use the "excess" amount to pay the charges due under the Contract and
thus keep the Contract in force. See LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT, page 20. In this
case, so long as the excess amount is sufficient, the Contract will not lapse
despite the owner's failure to pay scheduled premiums.
The amount of the scheduled premium, for a specific face amount of insurance,
depends upon the insured's sex (except where unisex rates apply), age at issue,
and risk classification. The scheduled premium cannot be
1
<PAGE>
increased until the Contract anniversary after the insured's 65th birthday or,
if later, 10 years from the date the Contract is issued. A new, higher scheduled
premium, called the "second premium amount," is payable after this period. The
second premium amount will be stated in each Contract. It is calculated on the
assumptions that only scheduled premiums have been paid, and they have been paid
when due, that maximum mortality charges (covering the cost of insurance for the
period in question) and expense charges have been deducted, and that the net
investment return upon the amount invested under the Contract has been equal to
the 4% assumed net rate of return. If the amount invested under the Contract is
higher than would be the case if the above conservative assumptions are borne
out by experience, which currently appears to be a reasonable expectation,
premiums after the insured's 65th birthday (or at 10 years after the issue date,
if later) will be lower than the second premium amount stated in the Contract
(and may or may not be higher than the initial scheduled premium).
In some cases the payment of greater than scheduled premiums or favorable
investment experience may result in the Contract becoming paid-up so that no
further premium payments will be necessary. If this happens, Pruco Life may
refuse to accept any further premium payments. If a Contract becomes paid-up,
the death benefit then in force becomes the guaranteed minimum death benefit;
apart from this guarantee, the death benefit and the cash surrender value of the
paid-up Contract will thereafter vary daily to reflect the investment experience
of amounts invested under the Contract. Contracts sold beginning in September of
1986 in jurisdictions where all necessary approvals have been obtained will no
longer become paid-up. Instead, the death benefit will be increased so that it
is always at least as great as the Contract fund divided by the net single
premium for the insured's attained age at such time. See HOW A CONTRACT'S DEATH
BENEFIT WILL VARY, page 15. The term "Contract fund" refers generally to the
total amount invested under the Contract and is defined under CHARGES AND
EXPENSES on page 10. The term "net single premium," the factor which determines
how much the death benefit will increase for a given increase in the Contract
fund, is defined and illustrated under item 2 of HOW A CONTRACT'S DEATH BENEFIT
WILL VARY on page 15. Whenever the death benefit is determined in this way,
Pruco Life reserves the right to refuse to accept further premium payments,
although in practice the payment of the lesser of 2 years' scheduled premiums or
the average of all premiums paid over the last 5 years will generally be
allowed.
There are circumstances, such as the payment of premiums substantially in excess
of scheduled premiums, under which the Contract may become a Modified Endowment
Contract under federal tax law. If it does, loans and other pre-death
distributions are includible in gross income on an income-first basis. A 10%
penalty tax may be imposed on income distributed before the insured attains age
59 1/2. Prospective purchasers and Contract owners are advised to consult a
qualified tax advisor before taking steps that may affect whether the Contract
becomes a Modified Endowment Contract. See TAX TREATMENT OF CONTRACT BENEFITS,
page 25.
The owner of a Contract chooses the investment subaccount[s] of Pruco Life's
Variable Appreciable Account (the "Account") in which the assets related to the
Contract will be held. At present there are thirteen subaccounts. Each is
currently invested in a corresponding portfolio of The Prudential Series Fund,
Inc. (the "Series Fund"), a series mutual fund to which The Prudential Insurance
Company of America ("Prudential") acts as investment advisor. The MONEY MARKET
PORTFOLIO is invested in short-term debt obligations similar to those purchased
by money market funds; the DIVERSIFIED BOND PORTFOLIO is invested primarily in
high quality medium-term corporate and government debt securities; the
GOVERNMENT INCOME PORTFOLIO is invested primarily in U.S. Government securities
including intermediate and long-term U.S. Treasury securities and debt
obligations issued by agencies of or instrumentalities established, sponsored or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government; the CONSERVATIVE BALANCED PORTFOLIO is
invested in a mix of money market instruments, fixed income securities, and
common stocks, in proportions believed by the investment manager to be
appropriate for an investor who desires diversification of investment who
prefers a relatively lower risk of loss and a correspondingly reduced chance of
high appreciation; the FLEXIBLE MANAGED PORTFOLIO is invested in a mix of money
market instruments, fixed income securities, and common stocks, in proportions
believed by the investment manager to be appropriate for an investor desiring
diversification of investment who is willing to accept a relatively high level
of loss in an effort to achieve greater appreciation; the HIGH YIELD BOND
PORTFOLIO is invested primarily in high yield fixed income securities of medium
to lower quality, also known as high risk bonds; the STOCK INDEX PORTFOLIO is
invested in common stocks selected to duplicate the price and yield performance
of the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index; the EQUITY INCOME
PORTFOLIO is invested primarily in common stocks and convertible securities that
provide favorable prospects for investment income returns above those of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index or the NYSE Composite Index; the EQUITY
PORTFOLIO is invested primarily in common stocks; the PRUDENTIAL JENNISON
PORTFOLIO is invested primarily in equity securities of established companies
with above-average growth prospects; the SMALL CAPITALIZATION STOCK PORTFOLIO is
invested primarily in equity securities of publicly-traded companies with small
market capitalization; the GLOBAL PORTFOLIO is invested in common stocks and
common stock equivalents (such as convertible debt securities) of foreign and
domestic issuers; and the NATURAL RESOURCES PORTFOLIO is invested primarily in
common stocks and convertible securities of natural resource companies, and in
securities (typically debt securities or preferred stock) the terms of which are
related to the market value of a natural resource; Further information about the
Series Fund portfolios can be found under THE PRUDENTIAL SERIES FUND, INC. on
page 4.

<PAGE>
The Contract owner may also choose to invest part of his or her net premiums in
the Pruco Life Variable Contract Real Property Account (the "Real Property
Account"), which, through a partnership, invests primarily in income-producing
real property. If a Contract owner elects to invest a portion of his or her net
premiums in the Real Property Account, the assets will be maintained in a
subaccount of the Real Property Account related to the Contract that provides
the mechanism and maintains the records whereby the various Contract charges are
made. The investment objectives of the Real Property Account and the partnership
are described briefly under PRUCO LIFE VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT
on page 5.
Because the assets that relate to the Contract are invested in these ways, the
Contract offers an opportunity for the cash surrender value to appreciate more
rapidly than it would under comparable fixed-benefit whole-life insurance. But
the owner must accept the risk that if investment performance of the chosen
option[s] is unfavorable the cash surrender value may not appreciate as rapidly
and, indeed, may decrease in value. Contract owners who prefer at any time to
accept a periodically declared fixed rate of return and avoid this risk may
choose a fixed-rate option. See THE FIXED-RATE OPTION, page 27.
Pruco Life deducts certain charges from each premium payment and from the
amounts held in the designated investment options. In addition, Pruco Life makes
certain additional charges if a Contract lapses or is surrendered during the
first 10 Contract years. All these charges, which are largely designed to cover
insurance costs and sales and administrative expenses, are fully described under
CHARGES AND EXPENSES on page 10. In brief, and subject to that fuller
description, the following charges may be made: (1) $2 is deducted from each
premium payment to cover premium collection and processing costs; (2) a sales
charge is deducted from each premium received in an amount up to 5% of the
portion of the premium remaining after the $2 processing charge has been
deducted (on a non-guaranteed basis, this charge is waived for premiums paid
after total premiums paid under the Contract exceed 5 years of scheduled
premiums on an annual basis); in addition, if the Contract lapses or is
surrendered during the first 10 years, a deferred sales charge is assessed; the
maximum deferred sales charge is 25% of the first year's scheduled premium and
5% of the scheduled premiums for the next 4 Contract years; beginning in the
eighth month of year 6 this charge is reduced monthly until it disappears after
year 10; (3) a premium tax charge (equal to 2.5% of the premium remaining after
the $2 processing charge has been deducted) is deducted from each premium
payment; (4) each month, the Contract fund is reduced by an administrative
charge of $2.50 per Contract and up to $0.02 per $1,000 of face amount of
insurance; (5) each month, the Contract fund is reduced by a guaranteed minimum
death benefit risk charge of not more than $0.01 per $1,000 of face amount of
insurance; (6) each month, a charge for anticipated mortality is deducted, with
the maximum charge based on the 1980 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Mortality
Table ("1980 CSO Table"); (7) a daily charge equivalent to an annual rate of
0.6% is deducted from the assets of the subaccounts for mortality and expense
risks; (8) if a Contract lapses or is surrendered during the first 10 years, a
contingent deferred administrative charge is assessed; during the first 5 years,
this charge equals $5 per $1,000 of face amount, and it begins to decline
monthly after the fifth Contract year, so that it disappears on the tenth
Contract anniversary; (9) an administrative processing charge equal to the
lesser of $15 or 2% of the amount withdrawn will be made in connection with each
withdrawal of excess cash surrender value; (10) if the Contract includes riders,
a monthly deduction from the Contract fund will be made for charges applicable
to those riders; a deduction will also be made if the rating class of the
insured results in an extra charge; and (11) certain fees and expenses are
deducted from the assets of the Series Fund and Real Property Account. Because
of these charges, and in particular because of the significant charges deducted
upon early surrender or lapse, prospective purchasers should purchase a Contract
only if they intend and have the financial capability to keep it in force for a
substantial period.
For a limited time, a Contract may be returned for a refund in accordance with
the terms of its "free look" provision. See SHORT-TERM CANCELLATION RIGHT OR
"FREE LOOK," page 6.
This Summary is intended to provide only a brief overview of the more
significant aspects of the Contract. Further detail is provided in this
prospectus and in the Contract document. That document, together with the
application attached to it, constitutes the entire agreement between the owner
and Pruco Life and should be retained.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT PRUCO LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY, PRUCO LIFE VARIABLE
APPRECIABLE ACCOUNT, AND THE VARIABLE
INVESTMENT OPTIONS AVAILABLE UNDER THE
CONTRACT
PRUCO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
Pruco Life Insurance Company ("Pruco Life") is a stock life insurance company,
organized in 1971 under the laws of the State of Arizona. It is licensed to sell
life insurance and annuities in the District of Columbia, Guam, and in all
states except New York.
Pruco Life is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, a mutual insurance
company founded in 1875 under the laws of the State of New Jersey. As of
December 31, 1996, it has invested over $442 million in Pruco Life in connection
with Pruco Life's organization and operation. Prudential intends from time to
time to make additional capital contributions to Pruco Life as needed to enable
it to meet its reserve requirements and expenses in connection with its
business. Prudential is under no obligation to make such contributions and its
assets do not back the benefits payable under the Contract. Pruco Life's
consolidated financial statements begin on page B1 and should be considered only
as bearing upon Pruco Life's ability to meet its obligations under the
Contracts.
PRUCO LIFE VARIABLE APPRECIABLE ACCOUNT
The Pruco Life Variable Appreciable Account (the "Account") was established on
January 13, 1984 under Arizona law as a separate investment account. The Account
meets the definition of a "separate account" under the federal securities laws.
The Account holds assets that are segregated from all of Pruco Life's other
assets.
The obligations to Contract owners and beneficiaries arising under the Contracts
are general corporate obligations of Pruco Life. Pruco Life is also the legal
owner of the assets in the Account. Pruco Life will maintain assets in the
Account with a total market value at least equal to the reserve and other
liabilities relating to the variable benefits attributable to the Account. These
assets may not be charged with liabilities which arise from any other business
Pruco Life conducts. In addition to these assets, the Account's assets may
include funds contributed by Pruco Life to commence operation of the Account and
may include accumulations of the charges Pruco Life makes against the Account.
From time to time these additional assets will be transferred to Pruco Life's
general account. Before making any such transfer, Pruco Life will consider any
possible adverse impact the transfer might have on the Account.
The Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") as a unit investment
trust, which is a type of investment company. This does not involve any
supervision by the SEC of the management or investment policies or practices of
the Account. For state law purposes, the Account is treated as a part or
division of Pruco Life. There are currently thirteen subaccounts within the
Account, each of which invests in a single corresponding portfolio of the Series
Fund. Additional subaccounts may be added in the future. The Account's financial
statements begin on page A1.
THE PRUDENTIAL SERIES FUND, INC.
The Prudential Series Fund, Inc. (the "Series Fund") is registered under the
1940 Act as an open-end diversified management investment company. Its shares
are currently sold only to separate accounts of Prudential and certain other
insurers that offer variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts. On
October 31, 1986, the Pruco Life Series Fund, Inc., an open-end diversified
management investment company which sold its shares only to separate accounts of
Pruco Life and Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey, was merged into the
Series Fund. Prior to that date, the Account invested only in shares of Pruco
Life Series Fund, Inc. The Account will purchase and redeem shares from the
Series Fund at net asset value. Shares will be redeemed to the extent necessary
for Pruco Life to provide benefits under the Contracts and to transfer assets
from one subaccount to another, as requested by Contract owners. Any dividend or
capital gain distribution received from a portfolio of the Series Fund will be
reinvested immediately at net asset value in shares of that portfolio and
retained as assets of the corresponding subaccount.
Prudential is the investment advisor for the assets of each of the portfolios of
the Series Fund. Prudential's principal business address is Prudential Plaza,
Newark, New Jersey 07102-3777. Prudential has a Service Agreement with its
wholly-owned subsidiary The Prudential Investment Corporation ("PIC"), which
provides that, subject to Prudential's supervision, PIC will furnish investment
advisory services in connection with the management of the Series Fund. In
addition, Prudential has entered into a Subadvisory Agreement with its
wholly-owned subsidiary Jennison Associates Capital Corporation ("Jennison"),
under which Jennison furnishes investment
4
<PAGE>
advisory services in connection with the management of the Prudential Jennison
Portfolio. Further detail is provided in the prospectus and statement of
additional information for the Series Fund. Prudential, PIC, and Jennison are
registered as investment advisors under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
As an investment advisor, Prudential charges the Series Fund a daily investment
management fee as compensation for its services. In addition to the investment
management fee, each portfolio incurs certain expenses, such as accounting and
custodian fees. See CHARGES AND EXPENSES, page 10.
It is conceivable that in the future it may become disadvantageous for both
variable life insurance and variable annuity contract separate accounts to
invest in the same underlying mutual fund. Although neither the companies which
invest in the Series Fund, nor the Series Fund currently foresees any such
disadvantage, the Series Fund's Board of Directors intends to monitor events in
order to identify any material conflict between variable life insurance and
variable annuity contract owners and to determine what action, if any, should be
taken in response thereto. Material conflicts could result from such things as:
(1) changes in state insurance law; (2) changes in federal income tax law; (3)
changes in the investment management of any portfolio of the Series Fund; or (4)
differences between voting instructions given by variable life insurance and
variable annuity contract owners.

PRUCO LIFE VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT
The Pruco Life Variable Contract Real Property Account (the "Real Property
Account") is a separate account of Pruco Life that, through a general
partnership formed by Prudential and two of its subsidiaries, invests primarily
in income-producing real property such as office buildings, shopping centers,
agricultural land, hotels, apartments or industrial properties. It also invests
in mortgage loans and other real estate-related investments, including
sale-leaseback transactions. The objectives of the Real Property Account and the
partnership are to preserve and protect capital, provide for compounding of
income as a result of reinvestment of cash flow from investments, and provide
for increases over time in the amount of such income through appreciation in the
value of its assets.
The partnership has entered into an investment management agreement with
Prudential, under which Prudential selects the properties and other investments
held by the partnership. Prudential charges the partnership a daily fee for
investment management which amounts to 1.25% per year of the average daily gross
assets of the partnership.
A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT, ITS MANAGEMENT, POLICIES, AND
RESTRICTIONS, ITS CHARGES AND EXPENSES, THE RISKS ATTENDANT TO INVESTMENT
THEREIN, THE PARTNERSHIP'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, AND ALL OTHER ASPECTS OF THE
REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT'S AND THE PARTNERSHIP'S OPERATIONS IS CONTAINED IN THE
ATTACHED PROSPECTUS FOR THE REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT, WHICH SHOULD BE READ TOGETHER
WITH THIS PROSPECTUS BY ANY CONTRACT OWNER CONSIDERING THE REAL ESTATE
INVESTMENT OPTION. THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES WILL BE
MET.
WHICH INVESTMENT OPTION SHOULD BE SELECTED
A broad objective of the Contract is to provide benefits that will increase in
value if favorable investment results are achieved. Contract owners have a large
number of options as to how the amounts credited to their Contracts will be
invested. Historically, for investments held over relatively long periods, the
investment performance of common stocks has generally been superior to that of
short or long-term debt securities, even though common stocks have been subject
to much more dramatic changes in value over short periods of time. Accordingly,
the Stock Index, Equity Income, the Equity, Prudential Jennison, Small
Capitalization Stock, Global or Natural Resources Portfolios, may be desirable
options for Contract owners who are willing to accept such volatility in their
Contract values. Each of these equity portfolios involves somewhat different
investment risks, policies, and programs.
Some Contract owners may prefer the somewhat greater protection against loss of
principal (and reduced chance of high total return) provided by the Government
Income or Diversified Bond Portfolios, while others, who desire even greater
safety of principal, may prefer the Money Market Portfolio or the fixed-rate
option, recognizing that the level of short-term rates may change rather
rapidly. Contract owners not interested in common stocks but willing to take
risks and seeking the possibility of a high total return may prefer the High
Yield Bond Portfolio, recognizing that with higher yielding, lower quality bonds
the risks are greater. Some Contract owners may wish to divide their funds among
two or more of the portfolios. Some may wish to obtain diversification by
relying on Prudential's judgment for an appropriate asset mix by choosing one of
the Balanced Portfolios. The Real Property
5
<PAGE>
Account permits a Contract owner to diversify his or her investment under the
Contract to include an interest in a pool of income-producing real property, and
real estate is often considered to be a hedge against inflation.
Each Contract owner must make his or her own choice that takes into account how
willing he or she is to accept investment risks, the manner in which his or her
other assets are invested, and his or her own predictions about what investment
results are likely to be in the future. Prudential recommends against frequent
transfers among the several options as experience generally indicates that
"market timing" investing, particularly by non-professional investors, is likely
to prove unsuccessful.
DETAILED INFORMATION FOR PROSPECTIVE CONTRACT
OWNERS
REQUIREMENTS FOR ISSUANCE OF A CONTRACT
As of May 1, 1992, these Contracts are no longer available for sale. Generally,
the minimum initial guaranteed death benefit that can be applied for is $60,000.
However higher minimums apply to insureds over the age of 75. Insureds 14 years
of age or less may apply for a minimum initial guaranteed death benefit of
$40,000. The Contract may generally be issued on insureds below the age of 81.
Before issuing any Contract, Pruco Life requires evidence of insurability which
may include a medical examination. Non-smokers who meet preferred underwriting
requirements are offered the most favorable premium rate. A higher premium is
charged if an extra mortality risk is involved. Certain classes of Contracts,
for example a Contract issued in connection with a tax-qualified pension plan,
may be issued on a "guaranteed issue" basis and may have a lower minimum initial
death benefit than a Contract which is individually underwritten. These are the
current underwriting requirements. The Company reserves the right to change them
on a non-discriminatory basis.
SHORT-TERM CANCELLATION RIGHT OR "FREE LOOK"
Generally, a Contract may be returned for a refund within 10 days after it is
received by the Contract owner, within 45 days after Part I of the application
for insurance is signed or within 10 days after Pruco Life mails or delivers a
Notice of Withdrawal Right, whichever is latest. Some states allow a longer
period of time during which a Contract may be returned for a refund. A refund
can be requested by mailing or delivering the Contract to the representative who
sold it or to the Home Office specified in the Contract. A Contract returned
according to this provision shall be deemed void from the beginning. The
Contract owner will then receive a refund of all premium payments made, plus or
minus any change due to investment experience. However, if applicable law so
requires, the Contract owner who exercises his or her short-term cancellation
right will receive a refund of all premium payments made, with no adjustment for
investment experience.
CONTRACT FORMS
A purchaser may select either of two forms of the Contract. The scheduled
premium for the Contract will be the same for a given insured, regardless of
which Contract Form is chosen. Contract Form A has a death benefit equal to the
initial face amount of insurance. The death benefit of a Form A Contract does
not vary with the investment performance of the investment options selected by
the owner, unless the Contract becomes paid-up or, under a revised version of
the Contract, unless the death benefit is increased to ensure that the Contract
meets the Internal Revenue Code's definition of life insurance. See HOW A
CONTRACT'S DEATH BENEFIT WILL VARY, page 15. Favorable investment results on the
assets related to the Contract and greater than scheduled premiums will
generally result in increases in the cash surrender value. See HOW A CONTRACT'S
CASH SURRENDER VALUE WILL VARY, page 15.
Contract Form B also has an initial face amount of insurance but favorable
investment performance and greater than scheduled premiums generally result in
an increase in the death benefit and, over time, in a lesser increase in the
cash surrender value than under the Form A Contract. See HOW A CONTRACT'S CASH
SURRENDER VALUE WILL VARY, page 15 and HOW A CONTRACT'S DEATH BENEFIT WILL VARY,
page 15. Unfavorable investment performance will result in decreases in the
death benefit (but never below the face amount stated in the Contract) and in
the cash surrender value.
Both Form A and Form B Contracts covering insureds of 14 years of age or less
contain a special provision providing that the face amount of insurance will
automatically be increased, on the Contract anniversary after the insured's 21st
birthday, to 150% of the initial face amount, so long as the Contract is not
then in default. The death benefit will also usually increase, at the same time,
by the same dollar amount. In certain circumstances, however, it may increase by
a smaller amount. See WHEN A CONTRACT BECOMES PAID-UP, page 16 and HOW A
CONTRACT'S DEATH BENEFIT WILL VARY, page 15. This increase in death benefit will
also generally increase the net amount at risk under the Contract, thus
increasing the mortality charge deducted each month from amounts invested under
the Contract. See item 6 under CHARGES AND EXPENSES, page 10. The automatic
increase in the
6
<PAGE>
face amount of insurance may affect future premium payments if the Contract
owner wants to avoid the Contract being classified as a Modified Endowment
Contract. See TAX TREATMENT OF CONTRACT BENEFITS, page 25. A Contract owner
should consult his or her own tax advisor and Pruco Life representative before
making unscheduled premium payments.
Purchasers should select the Contract Form that best meets their needs and
objectives. All whole-life insurance provides both protection for beneficiaries
in the event of early death and the opportunity to accumulate savings for
possible use in later years--for such things as college tuition or supplementary
retirement income--when the need for insurance protection may be reduced. Pruco
Life's Variable APPRECIABLE LIFE Contract provides more flexible investment
opportunities than do more conventional life insurance policies because it
permits the owner to decide how the assets held under the Contract will be
invested, because it permits considerable flexibility in determining the amount
and timing of premium payments, because it permits adjustment of the face amount
of insurance (subject, in the case of an increase, to evidence of insurability),
and because favorable investment returns result in an increase in Contract
values. Purchasers who prefer to have favorable investment results and greater
than scheduled premiums emerge partly in the form of an increased death benefit
should choose Contract Form B. Purchasers who are satisfied with the amount of
their insurance coverage and wish to have favorable investment results and
additional premiums reflected to the maximum extent in increasing cash surrender
values should choose Contract Form A. See HOW A CONTRACT'S CASH SURRENDER VALUE
WILL VARY, page 15.
In choosing a Contract Form, purchasers should also consider whether they intend
to use the withdrawal feature. Purchasers of Form A Contracts should note that a
withdrawal may result in a portion of the surrender charge being deducted from
the Contract fund. Furthermore, a purchaser of a minimum face amount Form A
Contract cannot make withdrawals. Purchasers of Form B Contracts will not incur
a surrender charge for a withdrawal and are not restricted if they purchase a
minimum size Contract. See WITHDRAWAL OF EXCESS CASH SURRENDER VALUE, page 17.
Under the original versions of these Contracts, there are other distinctions
between the Contract Forms that may influence a purchaser's selection. Thus,
Contract Form A will become paid-up more rapidly than a comparable Form B
Contract. But owners of Form A Contracts should be aware that since premium
payments and favorable investment experience do not increase the death benefit
unless the Contract has become paid-up, the beneficiary will not benefit from
the possibility that the Contract will have a large cash surrender value at the
time of the insured's death.
Under a revised version of the Contract that was made available beginning in
September of 1986 in jurisdictions where it is approved, the Contract will never
become paid-up. Instead, the death benefit under these revised Contracts is
always at least as great as the Contract fund divided by the net single premium.
See HOW A CONTRACT'S DEATH BENEFIT WILL VARY, page 15. Thus, instead of becoming
paid-up, the Contract's death benefit will always be large enough to meet the
Internal Revenue Code's definition of life insurance. Whenever the death benefit
is determined in this way, Pruco Life reserves the right to refuse to accept
further premium payments, although in practice the payment of at least scheduled
premiums will be allowed.
PREMIUMS
Scheduled premiums on the Contract are payable during the insured's lifetime on
an annual, semi-annual, quarterly or monthly basis on due dates set forth in the
Contract. If paid more often than annually, the aggregate annual premium will be
higher to compensate Pruco Life both for the additional processing costs (see
item 1 under CHARGES AND EXPENSES, page 10) and for the loss of interest
(computed generally at an annual rate of 8%) incurred because premiums are paid
throughout rather than at the beginning of each Contract year. The premium
amount depends on the Contract's initial death benefit and the insured's age at
issue, sex (except where unisex rates apply), and risk classification. Contract
owners who pay premiums other than on a monthly basis will be notified, about 3
weeks before each due date, that a premium is due. Contract owners who pay
premiums monthly will receive each year a book with twelve coupons that will
serve as a reminder. With Pruco Life's consent, an owner may change the
frequency of premium payments.
A Contract owner may elect to have monthly premiums paid automatically under the
"Pru-Matic Premium Plan" by pre-authorized transfers from a bank checking
account. Currently, Contract owners selecting the Pru-Matic Premium Plan on
Contracts issued after June 1, 1987 will have reduced current monthly expense
charges. See item 4 under CHARGES AND EXPENSES, page 10. Some Contract owners
may also be eligible to have monthly premiums paid by pre-authorized deductions
from an employer's payroll.
Each Contract sets forth two premium amounts. The initial premium amount is
payable on the Contract date (the date the Contract is issued, as noted in each
individual Contract) and on each subsequent due date until the Contract's
anniversary immediately following the insured's 65th birthday (or until the
Contract's tenth anniversary, if that is later). The second and higher premium
amount set forth in the Contract is payable on and after that anniversary (the
"premium change date"). However, if the amount invested under the Contract, net
of any excess premiums, is higher than it would have been had only scheduled
premiums been paid, had maximum contractual
7
<PAGE>
charges been deducted, and had only an average net rate of return of 4% been
earned, then the second premium amount will be lower than the maximum amount
stated in the Contract. Indeed, under the original versions of these Contracts,
if investment experience has been favorable enough, the Contract may become
paid-up before or by the premium change date. Pruco Life reserves the right not
to accept any further premium payments on a paid-up Contract. Contract owners
will be told what the amount of the second premium will be.
Pruco Life designed the Contracts to include a premium change date, with
scheduled premiums potentially increasing after that date to a second premium
amount, in order to provide Contract owners with both the flexibility to pay
lower initial scheduled premiums and a guarantee of lifetime insurance coverage
if all scheduled premiums are paid. The tables on pages T1 through T4 show how
the second premium amount compares with the first premium amount under Contracts
and for different hypothetical investment results.
The following table shows, for two face amounts, representative initial
preferred rating and standard rating annual premium amounts under either Form A
or Form B Contracts issued on insureds who are not substandard risks:

If a Contract owner wishes, he or she may select a higher contemplated premium
than the scheduled premium. Pruco Life will bill the owner for the chosen
premium. In general, the regular payment of higher premiums will result in
higher cash surrender values and, at least under Form B, in higher death
benefits. Under the original versions of the Contracts, such payments may also
provide a means of obtaining a paid-up Contract earlier than if only scheduled
premiums are paid.
The payment of premiums substantially in excess of scheduled premiums may cause
the Contract to be classified as a Modified Endowment Contract for federal
income tax purposes. See TAX TREATMENT OF CONTRACT BENEFITS, page 25.

<PAGE>
CONTRACT DATE
When the first premium payment is paid with the application for a Contract, the
Contract date will ordinarily be the later of the date of the application or the
date of any medical examination. In most cases no medical examination will be
necessary. If the first premium is not paid with the application, the Contract
date will ordinarily be 2 or 3 days after the application is approved by Pruco
Life so that it will coincide with or be shortly prior to the date on which the
first premium is paid. However, Pruco Life will under certain circumstances
permit a Contract to be back-dated but only to a date not earlier than six
months prior to the date of the application. It may be advantageous for a
Contract owner to have an earlier Contract date if that will result in the use
by Pruco Life of a lower attained age in determining the amount of the scheduled
premium. Pruco Life will require the payment of all premiums that would have
been due had the application date coincided with the back-dated Contract date.
The death benefit and cash surrender value under the Contract will be equal to
what they would have been had the Contract been issued on the Contract date, all
scheduled premiums been received on their due dates, and all Contract charges
been made. See CHARGES AND EXPENSES, page 10.
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS
On the Contract date a $2 processing charge is deducted from the initial premium
and up to 7.5% of the amount remaining is deducted to cover certain charges
(described in detail below), and the first monthly deductions are made (also
described below). The remainder of the initial scheduled premium will be
allocated among the subaccounts, the fixed-rate option or the Real Property
Account on the Contract date according to the desired allocation specified in
the application form. The invested portion of any part of the first premium in
excess of the scheduled initial premium, as well as the invested portion of all
subsequent premiums, are placed in the selected investment option[s] on the date
of receipt at a Home Office, but not earlier than the Contract date. Thus, to
the extent that the receipt of the first premium precedes the Contract date,
there will be a period during which the Contract owner's initial premium will
not be invested. The $2 per payment charge and up to 7.5% deduction also apply
to all subsequent premium payments; the remainder will be invested as of the end
of the valuation period in which it is received at a Home Office in accordance
with the allocation previously designated by the Contract owner. The "valuation
period" means the period of time from one determination of the value of the
amount invested in a subaccount to the next. Such determinations are made when
the net asset values of the portfolios of the Series Fund are calculated, which
is generally at 4:15 p.m. New York City time on each day during which the New
York Stock Exchange is open. Provided the Contract is not in default, the
Contract owner may change the way in which subsequent premiums are allocated by
giving written notice to a Home Office or by telephoning that Home Office,
provided the Contract owner is enrolled to use the Telephone Transfer System.
There is no charge for reallocating future premiums among the investment
options. If any portion of a premium is allocated to a particular subaccount, to
the fixed-rate option or to the Real Property Account, that portion must be at
least 10% on the date the allocation takes effect. All percentage allocations
must be in whole numbers. For example, 33% can be selected but 331/3% cannot. Of
course, the total allocation of all selected investment options must equal 100%.
Additionally, a feature called Dollar Cost Averaging ("DCA") is available to
Contract owners. Under this feature, premiums may be allocated to the portion of
the Money Market subaccount used for this feature (the "DCA account"), and
designated dollar amounts will be transferred monthly from the DCA account to
other investment options available under the Contract, excluding the Money
Market subaccount and the fixed-rate option, but including the Real Property
Account. Automatic monthly transfers must be at least 3% of the amount allocated
to the DCA account (that is, if $5,000 is designated, the minimum monthly
transfer is $150), with a minimum of $20 transferred into any one investment
option. These amounts are subject to change at Pruco Life's discretion. The
minimum transfer amount will only be recalculated if the amount designated for
transfer is increased.
Currently, the amount initially designated to DCA must be at least $2,000. This
minimum is subject to change at Pruco Life's discretion. After DCA has been
established and as long as the DCA account has a positive balance, Contract
owners may allocate or transfer amounts to the DCA account, subject to the
limitations on premium payments and transfers generally. In addition, if
premiums are paid on an annual or semi-annual basis, and the Contract owner has
already established DCA, the premium allocation instructions may include an
allocation of all or a portion of all your premium payments to the DCA account.
Each automatic monthly transfer will take effect as of the end of the valuation
period on the Monthly Date (i.e. the Contract Date and the same date in each
subsequent month), provided the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open on that
date. If the NYSE is not open on the Monthly Date, the transfer will take effect
as of the end of the valuation period on the next day that the NYSE is open. If
the Monthly Date does not occur in a particular month (e.g., February 30), the
transfer will take effect as of the end of the valuation period on the last day
of that month that the NYSE is open. Automatic monthly transfers will continue
until the balance in the DCA account reaches zero, or until the Contract owner
gives notification of a change in allocation or cancellation of the feature. If
the Contract has outstanding premium allocation to the DCA account, but the DCA
option has previously been
9
<PAGE>
canceled, premiums allocated to the DCA account will be allocated to the Money
Market subaccount. Currently, there is no charge for using the DCA feature.
TRANSFERS
Provided the Contract is not in default or is in force as variable reduced
paid-up insurance (see OPTIONS ON LAPSE, page 24), the owner may, up to four
times in each Contract year, transfer amounts from one subaccount to another
subaccount, to the fixed-rate option or to the Real Property Account. Currently,
you may make additional transfers with our consent. There is no charge. All or a
portion of the amount credited to a subaccount may be transferred.
In addition, the entire amount of the Contract fund (described in detail below)
may be transferred to the fixed-rate option at any time during the first 2
Contract years. A Contract owner who wishes to convert his or her variable
contract to a fixed-benefit contract in this manner must request a complete
transfer of funds to the fixed-rate option and should also change his or her
allocation instructions regarding any future premiums.
Transfers among subaccounts will take effect as of the end of the valuation
period in which a proper transfer request is received at a Home Office. The
request may be in terms of dollars, such as a request to transfer $10,000 from
one subaccount to another, or may be in terms of a percentage reallocation among
subaccounts. In the latter case, as with premium reallocations, the percentages
must be in whole numbers. The Contract owner may transfer amounts by proper
written notice to a Home Office or by telephone, provided the Contract owner is
enrolled to use the Telephone Transfer System. A Contract owner will
automatically be enrolled to use the Telephone Transfer System unless the
Contract is jointly owned or the Contract owner elects not to have this
privilege. Telephone transfers may not be available on policies that are
assigned, see ASSIGNMENT, page 28, depending on the terms of the assignment.
Pruco Life has adopted procedures designed to ensure that requests by telephone
are genuine. Pruco Life will not be held liable for following telephone
instructions that it reasonably believes to be genuine. Pruco Life cannot
guarantee that owners will be able to get through to complete a telephone
transfer during peak periods such as periods of drastic economic or market
change.
Transfers from the fixed-rate option to other investment options are currently
permitted once each Contract year and only during the 30-day period beginning on
the Contract anniversary. The maximum amount which may currently be transferred
out of the fixed-rate option each year is the greater of: (a) 25% of the amount
in the fixed-rate option, or (b) $2,000. Such transfer requests received prior
to the Contract anniversary will be effected on the Contract anniversary.
Transfer requests received within the 30-day period beginning on the Contract
anniversary will be effected as of the end of the valuation period in which a
proper transfer request is received at a Home Office. These limits are subject
to change in the future. Transfers to and from the Real Property Account are
subject to restrictions described in the attached prospectus for the Real
Property Account.
Pruco Life may, on a non-discriminatory basis, permit the owner of an
APPRECIABLE LIFE insurance policy issued by Pruco Life (this fixed-benefit
policy is briefly described under RIGHT TO EXCHANGE A CONTRACT FOR A
FIXED-BENEFIT INSURANCE POLICY on page 24 ) to exchange his or her policy for a
comparable Variable APPRECIABLE LIFE Contract with the same Contract date,
scheduled premiums, and Contract fund. No charge will be made for the exchange.
There is no new "free look" right when an APPRECIABLE LIFE contract owner elects
to exchange his or her policy for a comparable Variable APPRECIABLE LIFE
Contract.
Although Pruco Life does not give tax advice, Pruco Life does believe, based on
its understanding of federal income tax laws as currently interpreted, that the
original date exchange of an APPRECIABLE LIFE contract for a Variable
APPRECIABLE LIFE Contract should be considered to be a tax-free exchange under
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. It should be noted, however, that
the exchange of an APPRECIABLE LIFE contract for a Variable APPRECIABLE LIFE
Contract may impact the status of the Contract as a Modified Endowment Contract.
See TAX TREATMENT OF CONTRACT BENEFITS, page 25. A contract owner should consult
with his or her tax advisor and Pruco Life representative before making an
exchange.
CHARGES AND EXPENSES
The amount relating to the Contract held in the Account is determined by the
amount of premium payments, charges deducted from premiums before they are
placed in the Account, deductions made from the Account, including any
deductions made for a Contract loan (see CONTRACT LOANS, page 23), and the
investment results of the selected subaccount[s]. The total amount invested
under the Contract (the "Contract fund") consists of the amount related to the
Contract held in the Account, any amount allocated to the fixed-rate option, any
amount invested in the Real Property Account, and the principal amount of any
Contract loan and interest credited thereon.
All of the charges made by Pruco Life, whether deducted from premiums or from
the Contract fund, are set forth below.
10
<PAGE>
1. A charge of $2 is deducted from each premium payment to cover the cost of
collecting and processing premiums. Thus, Contract owners who pay premiums
annually will incur lower aggregate processing charges than those who pay
premiums more frequently. During 1996, 1995 and 1994, Pruco Life received
a total of approximately $4,422,000, $4,715,000 and $5,034,000,
respectively, in processing charges.
2. There is a charge to compensate Pruco Life for the cost of selling the
Contract. This cost includes sales commissions, advertising, and the
printing of the prospectuses and sales literature. This charge is called
the "sales load." The maximum sales load that will be charged will be 30%
of the first year's scheduled premium, 10% of the scheduled premium for
the second, third, fourth, and fifth years and 5% of each additional
premium, whether scheduled or unscheduled. Part of this sales load will be
deducted from each premium received in an amount up to 5% of the portion
of the premium remaining after the $2 processing charge has been deducted.
The remainder of the sales load will be deducted only if the Contract is
surrendered or stays in default past its days of grace. This second part
is called the deferred sales charge. The deferred sales charge will not be
deducted at all, however, for Contracts that lapse or are surrendered on
or after the Contract's tenth anniversary and it will be reduced for
Contracts that lapse or are surrendered sometime between the eighth month
of year 6 and the tenth anniversary. No deferred sales charge is
applicable to the death benefit, no matter when that may become payable.
For Contracts under which premiums are payable annually, the maximum
deferred sales charge (equal to 25% of the scheduled premium for the first
Contract year and 5% of the scheduled premium for the next 4 Contract
years) will be made under Contracts that lapse or are surrendered during
the fifth Contract year and the first 7 months of the sixth Contract year.
Thereafter the sales charge will be the maximum charge reduced uniformly
until it becomes zero at the end of the tenth Contract year. More
precisely, the deferred sales charge will be the maximum charge reduced by
a factor equal to the number of complete months that have elapsed between
the end of the sixth month in the Contract's sixth year and the date of
surrender or lapse, divided by 54 (since there are 54 months between that
date and the Contract's tenth anniversary). The following table shows
illustrative deferred sales load charges that will be made when such
Contracts are surrendered or lapse.

For Contracts under which premiums are payable more frequently than
annually, the deferred sales charge will be 25% of the first year's
scheduled premiums due on or before the date of surrender or lapse and 5%
of the scheduled premiums for the second through fifth Contract years due
on or before the date of surrender or lapse. Thus, for such Contracts the
maximum deferred sales charge will also be equal to 9% of the total
scheduled premiums for the first 5 Contract years. This amount will be
higher in dollar amount than it would have been had premiums been paid
annually because the total of the scheduled premiums is higher. See
PREMIUMS, page 7. To compensate for this, the reduction in the deferred
sales charge will start slightly earlier for Contracts under which
premiums are paid semi-annually, still earlier if premiums are paid
quarterly and even earlier if premiums are paid monthly. The reductions
are graded smoothly so that the dollar amount of the deferred sales charge
for two persons of the same age, sex, contract size, and Contract date,
will be identical beginning in the seventh month of the sixth Contract
year without regard to the frequency at which premiums were paid.
For purposes of determining the deferred sales charge, the scheduled
premium is the premium payable for an insured in the preferred rating
class, even if the insured is in a higher rated risk class. Moreover, if
premiums
11
<PAGE>
have been paid in excess of the scheduled premiums, the charge is based
upon the scheduled premiums. If a Contract is surrendered when less than
the aggregate amount of the scheduled premiums due on or before the date
of surrender has been paid, the deferred sales charge percentages (25% for
the first year and 5% for years 2 through 5) will be applied to the
premium payments due on or before the fifth anniversary date that were
actually paid, whether timely or not, before surrender. During 1996, 1995
and 1994, Pruco Life received a total of approximately $407,000, $871,000
and $1,408,000, respectively, in sales load charges.
Pruco Life has determined to waive the portion of the sales load deducted
from each premium (5% of the portion of the premium remaining after the $2
processing charge has been deducted) for premiums paid after total
premiums paid under the Contract exceed 5 years of scheduled premiums on
an annual basis. Thus, with respect to a premium paid after that total is
reached, only the 2.5% premium tax charge and the $2 processing charge is
deducted before the premium is allocated to the Account, fixed-rate option
or the Real Property Account according to the owner's instructions. This
concession is not contractually guaranteed and may be withdrawn or
modified by Pruco Life on a uniform basis, although it does not currently
intend to do so. If an owner elects to increase the face amount of his or
her Contract, the rules governing the non-guaranteed waiver of the 5%
front-end sales load will apply separately to the base Contract and the
increase, as explained under INCREASES IN FACE AMOUNT on page 18.
3. There is a premium tax charge equal to 2.5% of the premium remaining after
the $2 processing charge has been deducted. This charge is made to
compensate Pruco Life for paying state and local premium taxes. (The 7.5%
deduction referred to on page 9 is made up of the 5% sales load charge and
the 2.5% premium tax charge.) State premium tax rates vary from
jurisdiction to jurisdiction and generally range from 0.75% to 5%. Pruco
Life may collect more for this charge than it actually pays for premium
taxes. During 1996, 1995 and 1994, Pruco Life received a total of
approximately $5,636,000, $6,031,000 and $6,598,000, respectively, in
charges for payment of state and local premium taxes.
4. On each Monthly date, the Contract fund is reduced by an expense charge of
$2.50 per Contract and up to $0.02 per $1,000 of face amount (excluding
the automatic increase under Contracts issued on insureds of 14 years of
age or less), except that currently this $0.02 per $1,000 charge will not
be greater than $2 per month and for Contracts issued after June 1, 1987
on a Pru-Matic Plan basis, this $0.02 per $1,000 charge will currently be
waived. Thus, for a Contract with the minimum face amount of $60,000, not
issued on a Pru-Matic Plan basis, the aggregate amount deducted each year
will be $44.40. This charge is to compensate Pruco Life for administrative
expenses incurred, among other things, for processing claims, paying cash
surrender values, making Contract changes, keeping records, and
communicating with Contract owners. This charge will not be made if the
Contract has become paid-up or has been continued in force, after lapse,
as variable reduced paid-up insurance. During 1996, 1995 and 1994, Pruco
Life received a total of approximately $13,709,000, $14,375,000 and
$15,116,000, respectively, in monthly administrative charges.
5. On each Monthly date the Contract fund is reduced by a charge of $0.01 per
$1,000 of face amount (excluding the automatic increase under Contracts
issued on insureds of 14 years of age or less) to compensate Pruco Life
for the risk it assumes by guaranteeing that, no matter how unfavorable
investment experience may be, the death benefit will never be less than
the face amount provided scheduled premiums are paid on or before the due
date or during the grace period. This charge is not made after a Contract
becomes paid-up or has been continued in force, after lapse, as variable
reduced paid-up insurance. During 1996, 1995 and 1994, Pruco Life received
a total of approximately $2,572,000, $2,648,000 and $2,785,000,
respectively, for this risk charge.
6. Pruco Life deducts a mortality charge from the Contract fund on each
Monthly date to cover anticipated mortality costs. When an insured dies,
the amount paid to the beneficiary is larger than the Contract fund and
significantly larger if the insured dies in the early years of a Contract.
The mortality charges are designed to enable Pruco Life to pay this larger
death benefit. The charge is determined by multiplying the "net amount at
risk" under a Contract (the amount by which the Contract's death benefit,
computed as if there were neither riders nor Contract debt, exceeds the
Contract fund) by a rate based upon the insured's sex (except where unisex
rates apply) and current attained age, and the anticipated mortality for
that class of persons. The maximum rate that Pruco Life may charge is
based upon the 1980 CSO Tables. Pruco Life may determine that a lesser
amount than that called for by these mortality tables will be adequate to
defray anticipated mortality costs for insureds of particular ages and may
thus make a lower mortality charge for such persons. Pruco Life, however,
reserves the right to charge full mortality charges based on the
applicable 1980 CSO Table, and any lower current mortality charges are not
applicable to Contracts in force pursuant to an option on lapse. See
OPTIONS ON LAPSE, page 24. In addition, if a Contract has a face amount of
at least $100,000 and the insured under the Contract has met strict
underwriting requirements so that the Contract is in force on a "Select
Rating" basis for the particular risk classification, current mortality
charges for all ages may be lower still.
12
<PAGE>
Certain Contracts, for example Contracts issued in connection with
tax-qualified pension plans, may be issued on a "guaranteed issue" basis
and may have current mortality charges which are different from those
mortality charges for Contracts which are individually underwritten. These
Contracts with different current mortality charges may be offered to
categories of individuals meeting eligibility guidelines determined by
Pruco Life.
7. A charge is made to compensate Pruco Life for assuming mortality and
expense risks. This is done by deducting daily, from the assets of each of
the subaccounts of the Account and/or from the subaccount of the Real
Property Account relating to this Contract, a percentage of those assets
equivalent to an effective annual rate of 0.6% (this amounts to a daily
charge of approximately 0.001639%). The mortality risk assumed is that
insureds may live for a shorter period of time than Pruco Life estimated.
The expense risk assumed is that expenses incurred in issuing and
administering the Contract will be greater than Pruco Life estimated.
During 1996, 1995 and 1994, Pruco Life received a total of approximately
$15,162,000, $13,208,000 and $11,999,000, respectively, in mortality and
expense risk charges. This charge is not assessed against amounts
allocated to the fixed-rate option.
8. There is an administrative charge of $5 for each $1,000 of face amount of
insurance (excluding the automatic increase under Contracts issued on
insureds of 14 years of age or less) to compensate Pruco Life for expenses
incurred in connection with the issuance of the Contract, other than sales
expenses. This charge is made to cover the costs of processing
applications, conducting medical examinations, determining insurability
and the insured's risk class, and establishing records relating to the
Contract. However, this charge will not be assessed upon issuance of the
Contract, nor will it ever be deducted from any death benefit payable
under the Contract. Rather, it will be deducted only if the Contract is
surrendered or lapses when it is in default past its days of grace, and
even then it will not be deducted at all for Contracts that stay in force
through the end of the Contract's tenth year. And the charge will be
reduced for Contracts that lapse or are surrendered before then but after
the Contract's fifth anniversary. Specifically, the charge of $5 per
$1,000 will be assessed upon surrenders or lapses occurring on or before
the Contract's fifth anniversary. For each additional full month that the
Contract stays in force on a premium paying basis, this charge is reduced
by $0.0833 per $1,000 of initial face amount, so that it disappears on the
tenth anniversary. During 1996, 1995 and 1994, Pruco Life received a total
of approximately $3,580,000, $5,134,000 and $7,980,000, respectively, from
surrendered or lapsed Contracts. Additionally, if a Contract has a face
amount of at least $100,000 and was issued on other than a Select Rating
basis (see item 6, above), the owner may request that the Contract be
reclassified to a Select Rating basis. Requests for reclassification to a
Select Rating basis may be subject to an underwriting fee of up to $250,
but Pruco Life currently intends to waive that charge if the
reclassification is effected concurrently with an increase in face amount.
9. A charge of $15 will be made in connection with each partial withdrawal of
the cash surrender value of a Contract. See WITHDRAWAL OF EXCESS CASH
SURRENDER VALUE, page 17.
10. If the Contract includes riders, a monthly deduction from the Contract
fund will be made for charges applicable to those riders. A deduction will
also be made if the rating class of the insured results in an extra
charge.
11. An investment advisory fee is deducted daily from each portfolio at a
rate, on an annualized basis, from 0.35% for the Stock Index Portfolio to
0.75% for the Global Portfolio. The expenses incurred in conducting the
investment operations of the portfolios (such as custodian fees and
preparation and distribution of annual reports) are paid out of the
portfolio's income. These expenses also vary from portfolio to portfolio.
The total expenses of each portfolio for the year 1996 expressed as a
percentage of the average assets during the year are shown below:

*Some investment management fees and expenses charged to the Series Fund may
be higher than those that were previously charged to the Pruco Life Series
Fund, Inc. (0.4%), in which the Account previously invested. For the Money
Market, Diversified Bond, Equity, Conservative Balanced, and Flexible
Managed Portfolios, Pruco Life will make daily adjustments that will offset
the effect on Contract owners of any higher investment management fees and
expenses charged against the Series Fund. Without such adjustments the
portfolio expenses indirectly borne by a Contract owner, expressed as a
percentage of the average daily net assets by portfolio, would have been
0.44% for the Money Market Portfolio, 0.45% for the Diversified Bond
Portfolio, 0.59% for the Conservative Balanced Portfolio, 0.64% for the
Flexible Managed Portfolio and 0.50% for the Equity Portfolio. No such
offset will be made with respect to the remaining portfolios, which had no
counterparts in the Pruco Life Series Fund, Inc.
In several instances Pruco Life uses the terms "maximum charge" and "current
charge." The "maximum charge," in each instance, is the highest charge that
Pruco Life is entitled to make under the Contract. The "current charge" is the
lower amount that Pruco Life is now charging. However, if circumstances change,
Pruco Life reserves the right to increase each current charge, up to but no more
than the maximum charge, without giving any advance notice.
The earnings of the Account are taxed as part of the operations of Pruco Life.
No charge is being made currently to the Account for Company federal income
taxes. Pruco Life will review the question of a charge to the Account for
Company federal income taxes periodically. Such a charge may be made in future
years for any federal income taxes that would be attributable to the Contracts.
Under current laws Pruco Life may incur state and local taxes (in addition to
premium taxes) in several states. At present, these taxes are not significant
and they are not charged against the Contracts or the Account. If there is a
material change in applicable state or local tax laws, the imposition of any
such taxes upon Pruco Life that are attributable to the Account may result in a
corresponding charge against the Account.
The investment management fee and other expenses charged against the Real
Property Account are described in the attached prospectus for that investment
option.
REDUCTION OF CHARGES FOR CONCURRENT SALES TO SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS
Pruco Life may reduce the sales charges and/or other charges on individual
Contracts sold to members of a class of associated individuals, or to a trustee,
employer or other entity representing a class, where it is expected that such
multiple sales will result in savings of sales or administrative expenses. Pruco
Life determines both the eligibility for such reduced charges, as well as the
amount of such reductions, by considering the following factors: (1) the number
of individuals; (2) the total amount of premium payments expected to be received
from these Contracts; (3) the nature of the association between these
individuals, and the expected persistency of the individual Contracts; (4) the
purpose for which the individual Contracts are purchased and whether that
purpose makes it likely that expenses will be reduced; and (5) any other
circumstances which Pruco Life believes to be relevant in determining whether
reduced sales or administrative expenses may be expected. Some of the reductions
in charges for these sales may be contractually guaranteed; other reductions may
be withdrawn or
14
<PAGE>
modified by Pruco Life on a uniform basis. Pruco Life's reductions in charges
for these sales will not be unfairly discriminatory to the interests of any
individual Contract owners.
HOW A CONTRACT'S CASH SURRENDER VALUE WILL VARY
A Contract has a cash surrender value which the owner may get while the insured
is living by surrender of the Contract. Unlike traditional fixed-benefit
whole-life insurance, however, a Contract's cash surrender value is not known in
advance, even if it is assumed that only scheduled premiums will be paid,
because it varies daily with the investment performance of the subaccount[s]
and/or Real Property Account in which the Contract participates.
On the Contract date, the Contract fund value is the invested portion of the
initial premium less the first monthly deductions. This amount is placed in the
investment option[s] designated by the owner. Thereafter the Contract fund value
changes daily, reflecting increases or decreases in the value of the securities
in which the assets of the subaccount[s] have been invested, the investment
performance of the Real Property Account if that option has been selected,
interest credited on amounts allocated to the fixed-rate option, as well as the
daily asset charge for mortality and expense risk equal to 0.001639% of the
assets of the subaccount[s] of the Account and the subaccount of the Real
Property Account relating to this Contract. The Contract fund value also changes
to reflect the receipt of additional premium payments and the monthly deductions
described in the preceding section.
A Contract's cash surrender value on any date will be the Contract fund value
reduced by the deferred sales and administrative charges, if any, and any
Contract debt. Upon request, Pruco Life will tell a Contract owner the cash
surrender value of his or her Contract. It is possible that the cash surrender
value of a Contract could decline to zero because of unfavorable investment
experience, even if a Contract owner continues to pay scheduled premiums when
due.
If the net investment return in the selected investment option[s] is greater
than 4%, the Contract fund and cash surrender value for a Form B Contract can be
expected to be less than the Contract fund and cash surrender value for a Form A
Contract with identical premiums and investment experience. This is because the
monthly mortality charges under the Form B Contract will be higher to compensate
for the higher amount of insurance.
The tables on pages T1 through T4 of this prospectus illustrate what the cash
surrender values would be for representative Contracts, assuming uniform
hypothetical investment results in the selected Series Fund portfolio[s], and
also provide information about the aggregate scheduled premiums payable under
those Contracts. Illustrated also is what the death benefit would be under Form
B Contracts given the stated assumptions. The tables also show the premium
amount that would be required on the premium change date to guarantee the
Contract against lapse regardless of investment performance for each illustrated
Contract under each of the assumed investment returns.
HOW A CONTRACT'S DEATH BENEFIT WILL VARY
As noted above, there are two forms of the Contract, Form A and Form B.
Moreover, in September 1986 Pruco Life began issuing revised versions of both
Form A and Form B Contracts. The primary difference between the original
Contract and the revised Contract is that the original Contract may become
paid-up, while the death benefit under the revised Contract operates differently
and accordingly such Contract will not become paid-up.
1. ORIGINAL CONTRACTS. If a Form A Contract is chosen, the death benefit will
not vary (except for Contracts issued on insureds of age 14 or less, see
REQUIREMENTS FOR ISSUANCE OF A CONTRACT on page 6) regardless of the payment of
additional premiums or the investment results of the selected investment options
unless the Contract becomes paid-up. See WHEN A CONTRACT BECOMES PAID-UP, page
16. The death benefit does reflect a deduction for the amount of any Contract
debt. See CONTRACT LOANS, page 23.
If a Form B Contract is chosen, the death benefit will vary with investment
experience and premium payments. Assuming no Contract debt, the death benefit
under a Form B Contract will, on any day, be equal to the face amount of
insurance plus the amount (if any) by which the Contract fund value exceeds the
applicable "tabular Contract fund value" for the Contract. The "tabular Contract
fund value" for each Contract year is an amount that is slightly less than the
Contract fund value that would result as of the end of such year if only
scheduled premiums were paid, they were paid when due, the selected investment
options earned a net return at a uniform rate of 4% per year, full mortality
charges based upon the 1980 CSO Table were deducted, maximum sales load and
expense charges were deducted, and there was no Contract debt. Each Contract
contains a table that sets forth the tabular Contract fund value as of the end
of each of the first 20 years of the Contract. Tabular Contract fund values
between Contract anniversaries are determined by interpolation.
Thus, under a Form B Contract with no Contract debt, the death benefit will
equal the face amount if the Contract fund equals the tabular Contract fund
value. If, due to investment results greater than a net return of 4%, or to
greater than scheduled premiums, or to smaller than maximum charges, the
Contract fund value is a given amount greater than the tabular Contract fund
value, the death benefit will be the face amount plus that excess amount.
15
<PAGE>
If, due to investment results less favorable than a net return of 4%, the
Contract fund value is less than the tabular Contract fund value, and the
Contract nevertheless remains in force because scheduled premiums have been
paid, the death benefit will not fall below the initial face amount stated in
the Contract; however, this unfavorable investment experience must subsequently
be offset before favorable investment results or greater than scheduled premiums
will increase the death benefit. The death benefit will also reflect a deduction
for the amount of any Contract debt. See CONTRACT LOANS, page 23.
A Contract owner may also increase or decrease the face amount of his or her
Contract, subject to certain conditions. See INCREASES IN FACE AMOUNT, page 18
and DECREASES IN FACE AMOUNT, page 19.
2. REVISED CONTRACTS. Under the revised Contracts issued since September of 1986
in jurisdictions where all necessary approvals have been obtained, the death
benefit will be calculated as follows. Under a Form A Contract, the death
benefit will be the greater of (1) the face amount; or (2) the Contract fund
divided by the net single premium per $1 of death benefit at the insured's
attained age on that date. In other words, the second alternative ensures that
the death benefit will not be less than the amount of life insurance that could
be provided for an invested single premium amount equal to the amount of the
Contract fund. Under a Form B Contract, the death benefit will be the greater of
(1) the face amount plus the excess, if any, of the Contract fund over the
tabular Contract fund value; or (2) the Contract fund divided by the net single
premium per $1 of death benefit at the insured's attained age on that date.
Thus, under the revised Contracts, the death benefit may be increased based on
the size of the Contract fund and the insured's attained age and sex. This
ensures that the Contract will satisfy the Internal Revenue Code's definition of
life insurance. The net single premium is used only in the calculation of the
death benefit, not for premium payment purposes. The following is a table of
illustrative net single premiums for $1 of death benefit.
- ------------------------------------ --------------------------------------

55 .47352 $ 2.11 55 .40746 $ 2.45
65 .60986 $ 1.64 65 .54017 $ 1.85
- ------------------------------------ --------------------------------------
Whenever the death benefit is determined in this way, Pruco Life reserves the
right to refuse to accept further premium payments, although in practice the
payment of the lesser of 2 years' scheduled premiums or the average of all
premiums paid over the last 5 years will generally be allowed.
A Contract owner may also increase or decrease the face amount of his or her
Contract, subject to certain conditions. See INCREASES IN FACE AMOUNT, page 18
and DECREASES IN FACE AMOUNT, page 19.
WHEN A CONTRACT BECOMES PAID-UP
Under the original Contracts, it is possible that favorable investment
experience, either alone or in conjunction with greater than scheduled premium
payments, will cause the Contract fund to increase to the point where no further
payment of premiums is necessary to provide for the then existing death benefit
for the remaining life of the insured. If this should occur, Pruco Life will
notify the owner that no further premium payments need be paid. Pruco Life
reserves the right to refuse to accept further premiums after the Contract
becomes paid-up. The purchase of an additional fixed benefit rider may, in some
cases, affect the point at which the Contract becomes paid-up. See RIDERS, page
28. The revised Contracts will not become paid-up.
Once a Contract becomes paid-up, Pruco Life guarantees that the death benefit
then in force will not be reduced by the investment experience of the investment
options in which the Contract participates. The cash surrender value of a
paid-up Contract continues to vary daily to reflect investment experience and
monthly to reflect continuing mortality charges, but the other monthly
deductions (see items 4 and 5 under CHARGES AND EXPENSES, page 10 ) will not be
made. The death benefit of a paid-up Contract on any day (whether the Contract
originally was Form A or Form B) will be equal to the amount of paid-up
insurance that can be purchased with the Contract fund on that day, but never
less than the guaranteed minimum amount.
As noted earlier, Contracts issued on insureds of 14 years of age or less
include a special provision under which the face amount of insurance increases
automatically to 150% of the initial face amount on the Contract
16
<PAGE>
anniversary after the insured reaches the age of 21. If a Contract would have
been paid-up prior to that anniversary, Pruco Life, in anticipation of the
increase in the face amount to 150% of the initial face amount, will, instead of
declaring the Contract to be paid-up, increase the death benefit by the amount
necessary to keep the Contract in force as a premium paying Contract. If this
should occur, the increase in the death benefit on the Contract anniversary
after the insured reaches the age of 21 will be smaller, in dollar amount, than
the increase in the face amount of insurance.
FLEXIBILITY AS TO PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS
A significant feature of this Contract is that it permits the owner to pay
greater than scheduled premiums. Conversely, payment of a scheduled premium need
not be made if the Contract fund is sufficiently large to enable the charges due
under the Contract to be made without causing the Contract to lapse. See LAPSE
AND REINSTATEMENT, page 20. In general, Pruco Life will accept any premium
payment if the payment is at least $25. Pruco Life does reserve the right,
however, to limit unscheduled premiums to a total of $10,000 in any Contract
year; to refuse to accept premiums once a Contract becomes paid-up; and to
refuse to accept premiums that would immediately result in more than a
dollar-for-dollar increase in the death benefit. The flexibility of premium
payments provides Contract owners with different opportunities under the two
forms of Contract. Greater than scheduled payments under an original version
Form A Contract increase the Contract fund and make it more likely that the
Contract will become paid-up. Greater than scheduled payments under an original
version Form B Contract increase both the Contract fund and the death benefit,
but it is less likely to become paid-up than a Form A Contract on which the same
premiums are paid. For all Contracts, the privilege of making large or
additional premium payments offers a way of investing amounts which accumulate
without current income taxation. There may, however, be a disadvantage if
substantial premiums are made. The federal income tax laws, discussed more fully
under TAX TREATMENT OF CONTRACT BENEFITS, page 25, may impose an income tax, as
well as a penalty tax, upon distributions to contract owners under life
insurance contracts that are classified as Modified Endowment Contracts. This
contract should not be so classified if the initial scheduled premiums are paid
or even if additional premiums are paid that are not substantially higher,
assuming no changes in benefits under the contract. It is possible, however, to
make premium payments that are high enough to cause the Contract to fall into
that classification. A Contract owner should consult with his or her own tax
advisor and Pruco Life representative before making a large premium payment.
SURRENDER OF A CONTRACT
A Contract may be surrendered in whole or in part for its cash surrender value
while the insured is living. Partial surrender involves splitting the Contract
into two Contracts. One is surrendered for its cash surrender value; the other
is continued in force on the same terms as the original Contract except that
premiums and cash surrender values will be proportionately reduced based upon
the reduction in the face amount of insurance. The Contract continued must have
a face amount of insurance at least equal to the minimum face amount applicable
to the insured's Contract. See REQUIREMENTS FOR ISSUANCE OF A CONTRACT, page 6.
For paid-up Contracts, both the death benefit and the guaranteed minimum death
benefit will be reduced. The death benefit immediately after the partial
withdrawal must be at least equal to the minimum face amount applicable to the
insured's Contract.
To surrender a Contract in whole or in part, the owner must deliver or mail it,
together with a written request in a form that meets Pruco Life's needs, to a
Home Office. The cash surrender value of a surrendered or partially surrendered
Contract (taking into account the deferred sales and administrative charges, if
any) will be determined as of the date such request is received in the Service
Office. Surrender of all or part of a Contract may have tax consequences. See
TAX TREATMENT OF CONTRACT BENEFITS, page 25.
WITHDRAWAL OF EXCESS CASH SURRENDER VALUE
An alternative to surrender or partial surrender of a Contract, available only
before such Contracts become paid up, is a partial withdrawal of cash surrender
value without splitting the Contract into two Contracts. A partial withdrawal
may be made only if the following conditions are satisfied. The basic limiting
condition is that a withdrawal may be made only to the extent that the cash
surrender value plus any Contract loan exceeds the applicable tabular cash
surrender value. (The "tabular cash surrender value" refers to the tabular
Contract fund value minus any applicable surrender charges.) But because this
excess over the applicable tabular cash surrender value may be made up in part
by an outstanding Contract loan, there is a further condition that the amount
withdrawn may not be larger than an amount sufficient to reduce the cash
surrender value to zero. The amount withdrawn must be at least $2,000 under a
Form A Contract and at least $500 under a Form B Contract. An owner may make no
more than four such withdrawals in a Contract year, and there is a fee of $15
for each such withdrawal. An amount withdrawn may not be repaid except as a
scheduled or unscheduled premium subject to the Contract charges. Upon request,
Pruco Life will tell a Contract owner how much he or she may withdraw.
17
<PAGE>
Withdrawal of part of the cash surrender value may have tax consequences. See
TAX TREATMENT OF CONTRACT BENEFITS, page 25.
Whenever a partial withdrawal is made, the death benefit payable will
immediately be reduced, generally by the amount of the withdrawal. This will not
change the guaranteed minimum amount of insurance under a Form B Contract (i.e.,
the face amount) or the amount of the scheduled premium that will be payable
thereafter on such a Contract. Under a Form A Contract, however, the guaranteed
minimum amount of insurance will be reduced by the amount of the partial
withdrawal, and no partial withdrawal will be permitted under a Form A Contract
if it would result in a new face amount of less than the minimum face amount
applicable to the insured's Contract. See REQUIREMENTS FOR ISSUANCE OF A
CONTRACT, page 6. It is important to note, however, that if the face amount is
decreased at any time during the first 7 Contract years, there is a danger that
the Contract might be classified as a Modified Endowment Contract. See TAX
TREATMENT OF CONTRACT BENEFITS, page 25. Before making any withdrawal which
causes a decrease in face amount a Contract owner should consult with his or her
Pruco Life representative. In addition, the amount of the scheduled premiums due
thereafter under a Form A Contract will be reduced to reflect the lower face
amount of insurance. Since a withdrawal under a Form A Contract results in a
decrease in the face amount of insurance, the Contract fund may be reduced, not
only by the amount withdrawn but also by a proportionate part of any surrender
charges then applicable, based upon the percentage reduction in face amount.
Contract owners of a Form A Contract who make a partial withdrawal will be sent
replacement Contract pages showing the new face amount, new tabular values and,
if applicable, a new table of surrender charges.
Withdrawal of part of the cash surrender value increases the risk that the
Contract fund may be insufficient to provide for benefits under the Contract. If
such a withdrawal is followed by unfavorable investment experience, the Contract
may lapse even if scheduled premiums continue to be paid when due. This is
because, for purposes of determining whether a lapse has occurred, Pruco Life
treats withdrawals as a return of premium.
INCREASES IN FACE AMOUNT
An attractive feature of this Contract is that an owner who wishes to increase
the amount of his or her insurance may do so by increasing the face amount of
the Contract (which is also the guaranteed minimum death benefit), subject to
state approval and underwriting requirements determined by Pruco Life. An
increase in face amount is in many ways similar to the purchase of a second
Contract, but it differs in the following respects: the minimum permissible
increase is $25,000 while the minimum for a new Contract is $60,000; monthly
fees are lower because only a single $2.50 per month administrative charge is
made rather than two; a combined premium payment results in deduction of a
single $2 per premium processing charge while separate premium payments for
separate Contracts would involve two charges; the monthly expense charge of
$0.02 per $1,000 of face amount may be lower if the increase is to a face amount
greater than $100,000; and, the Contract will lapse or become paid-up as a unit,
unlike the case if two separate Contracts are purchased. These differences
aside, the decision to increase face amount is comparable to the purchase of a
second Contract in that it involves a commitment to higher scheduled premiums in
exchange for greater insurance benefits.
A Contract owner may elect to increase the face amount of his or her Contract no
earlier than the first anniversary of the Contract. The following conditions
must be met: (1) The owner must ask for the increase in writing on an
appropriate form meeting Pruco Life's needs. (2) The amount of the increase in
face amount must be at least $25,000. (3) The insured must supply evidence of
insurability for the increase satisfactory to Pruco Life. (4) If Pruco Life
requests, the owner must send in the Contract to be suitably endorsed. (5) The
Contract must be neither paid-up nor in default on the date the increase takes
effect. (6) The owner must pay an appropriate premium at the time of the
increase. (7) Pruco Life has the right to deny more than one increase in a
Contract year. (8) If Pruco Life has, between the Contract date and the date
that any requested increase in face amount will take effect, changed any of the
bases on which benefits and charges are calculated under newly issued Contracts,
Pruco Life has the right to deny the increase. An increase in face amount
resulting in a total face amount under the Contract of at least $100,000 may,
subject to strict underwriting requirements, render the Contract eligible for a
Select Rating basis, which provides lower current cost of insurance rates.
Upon an increase in face amount, Pruco Life will recompute the Contract's
scheduled premiums, deferred sales and administrative charges, tabular values,
and monthly deductions from the Contract fund. The Contract owner has a choice,
limited only by applicable state law, as to whether the recomputation will be
made as of the prior or next Contract anniversary. There will be a payment
required on the date of increase; the amount of the payment will depend, in
part, on which Contract anniversary the Contract owner selects for the
recomputation. Pruco Life will tell the owner the amount of the required
payment. It should also be noted that an increase in face amount may impact the
status of the Contract as a Modified Endowment Contract. See TAX TREATMENT OF
CONTRACT BENEFITS, page 25. Therefore, before increasing the face amount, a
Contract owner should consult with his or her own tax advisor and Pruco Life
representative.
18
<PAGE>
Provided the increase is approved, the new insurance will take effect once the
proper forms, any medical evidence necessary to underwrite the additional
insurance and any amount needed by the company have been received.
Pruco Life will supply the Contract owner with pages which show the increased
face amount, the effective date of the increase, and the recomputed items
described two paragraphs above. The pages will also describe how the increase in
face amount affects the various provisions of the Contract, including a
statement that, for the amount of the increase in face amount, the period stated
in the Incontestability and Suicide provisions (see OTHER GENERAL CONTRACT
PROVISIONS, page 28) will run from the effective date of the increase.
There will be assessed upon lapse or surrender following an increase in face
amount the sum of (a) the deferred sales and administrative charges that would
have been assessed if the initial base Contract had not been amended and had
lapsed or been surrendered; and (b) the deferred sales and administrative
charges that would have been assessed if the increase in death benefit had been
achieved by the issuance of a new Contract, and that Contract had lapsed or been
surrendered. All premiums paid after the increase will, for purposes of
determining the deferred sales charge applicable in the event of surrender or
lapse, be deemed to have been made partially under the base Contract, and
partially in payment of the increase, in the same proportion as that of the
original scheduled premium and the increase in scheduled premiums. Because an
increase in face amount triggers new contingent deferred sales and
administrative charges, a Contract owner contemplating a total or partial
surrender or a decrease in the face amount of insurance should not elect to
increase the face amount of his or her Contract.
An increase in face amount will be treated comparably to the issuance of a new
Contract for purposes of the non-guaranteed waiver of the 5% front-end sales
load, described under item 2 of CHARGES AND EXPENSES on page 10. Thus, premiums
paid after the increase will, for purposes of determining whether the 5%
front-end sales load will be waived, be allocated to the base Contract and to
the increase based on the proportional premium allocation rule just described.
The waiver will apply with respect to the premiums paid after the increase only
after the premiums so allocated exceed five scheduled annual premiums for the
increase. Thus, an owner considering an increase in face amount should be aware
that such an increase will entail sales charges comparable to the purchase of a
new Contract.
Each Contract owner who elects to increase the face amount of his or her
Contract will receive a "free-look" right and a right to convert to a
fixed-benefit contract, which rights will apply only to the increase in face
amount, not the entire Contract. These rights are comparable to the rights
afforded to a purchaser of a new Contract. See SHORT-TERM CANCELLATION RIGHT OR
"FREE LOOK", page 6 and RIGHT TO EXCHANGE A CONTRACT FOR A FIXED-BENEFIT
INSURANCE POLICY, page 24. The "free-look" right would have to be exercised no
later than 45 days after execution of the application for the increase or, if
later, within 10 days after either receipt of the Contract as increased or
receipt of the withdrawal right notice by the owner. Upon exercise of the
"free-look" right, the owner will receive a refund in the amount of the
aggregate premiums paid since the increase was requested and attributable to the
increase, not the base Contract, as determined pursuant to the proportional
premium allocation rule described above. There will be no adjustment for
investment experience. Moreover, charges deducted since the increase will be
recomputed as though no increase had been effected. The right to convert the
increase in face amount to a fixed-benefit policy will exist for 24 months after
the increase is issued and the form of exchange right will be the same as that
available under the base Contract purchased. There may be a cash payment
required upon the exchange. See RIGHT TO EXCHANGE A CONTRACT FOR A FIXED-BENEFIT
INSURANCE POLICY, page 24.
DECREASES IN FACE AMOUNT
As explained earlier, a Contract owner may effect a partial surrender of a
Contract (see SURRENDER OF A CONTRACT, page 17) or a partial withdrawal of
excess cash surrender value (see WITHDRAWAL OF EXCESS CASH SURRENDER VALUE, page
17). A Contract owner also has the additional option of decreasing the face
amount (which is also the guaranteed minimum death benefit) of his or her
Contract without withdrawing any cash surrender value. Contract owners who
conclude that, because of changed circumstances, the amount of insurance is
greater than needed will thus be able to decrease their amount of insurance
protection without decreasing their current cash surrender value. This will
result in a decrease in the amount of future scheduled premiums and in the
monthly deductions for the cost of insurance. The cash surrender value of the
Contract on the date of the decrease will not change, except that an
administrative processing fee of $15 may be deducted from that value (unless
that fee is separately paid at the time the decrease in face amount is
requested). The Contract's Contract fund value, however, will be reduced by
deduction of a proportionate part of the then applicable contingent deferred
sales and administrative charges, if any. Scheduled premiums for the Contract
will also be proportionately reduced. The Contracts of owners who exercise the
right to reduce face amount will be amended to show the new face amount, tabular
values, scheduled premiums, monthly charges, and if applicable, the remaining
contingent deferred sales and administrative charges.
The minimum permissible decrease is $10,000. No decrease will be permitted that
causes the face amount of the Contract to drop below the minimum face amount
applicable to the insured's Contract. See REQUIREMENTS FOR ISSUANCE OF A
CONTRACT, page 6. No reduction will be permitted to the extent that it would
cause the Contract to
19
<PAGE>
fail to qualify as "life insurance" for purposes of section 7702 of the Internal
Revenue Code. If the face amount of a Contract in force on a Select Rating basis
is reduced below $100,000, it is no longer eligible for the Select Rating.
It is important to note, however, that if the face amount is decreased at any
time during the first 7 Contract years, there is a danger that the Contract
might be classified as a Modified Endowment Contract. See TAX TREATMENT OF
CONTRACT BENEFITS, page 25. Before making any withdrawal which causes a decrease
in face amount, a Contract owner should consult with his or her own tax advisor
and Pruco Life representative.
LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT
The Contract has an advantageous feature that is not typically found in similar
types of life insurance contracts. If scheduled premiums are paid on or before
each due date or within the grace period after each due date, (or missed
premiums are paid later with interest) and there are no withdrawals, a Contract
will remain in force even if the investment results of that Contract's variable
investment option[s] have been so unfavorable that the Contract fund has
decreased to zero or less. Therefore, unlike most similar types of life
insurance contracts that lapse when the cash surrender value decreases to zero
even if premiums are paid, this Contract ensures that as long as scheduled
premiums are paid, insurance protection remains in effect.
In fact, even if a scheduled premium is not paid, the Contract will remain in
force as long as the Contract fund on any Monthly date is equal to or greater
than the tabular Contract fund value on the next Monthly date. This could occur
because of such factors as favorable investment experience, deduction of less
than the maximum permissible charges, or the previous payment of greater than
scheduled premiums.
However, if a scheduled premium is not paid, and the Contract fund is
insufficient to keep the Contract in force, the Contract will go into default.
Should this happen, Pruco Life will send the Contract owner a notice of default
setting forth the payment necessary to keep the Contract in force on a premium
paying basis. This payment must be received at a Home Office within the 61 day
grace period after the notice of default is mailed or the Contract will lapse. A
Contract that lapses with an outstanding Contract loan may have tax
consequences. See TAX TREATMENT OF CONTRACT BENEFITS on page 25.
A Contract that has lapsed may be reinstated within 3 years after the date of
default unless the Contract has been surrendered for its cash surrender value.
To reinstate a lapsed Contract, Pruco Life requires renewed evidence of
insurability, and submission of certain payments due under the Contract.
If a Contract does lapse, it may still provide some benefits. Those benefits are
described under OPTIONS ON LAPSE, page 24.
WHEN PROCEEDS ARE PAID
Pruco Life will generally pay any death benefit, cash surrender value, loan
proceeds or partial withdrawal within 7 days after receipt at a Home Office of
all the documents required for such a payment. Other than the death benefit,
which is determined as of the date of death, the amount will be determined as of
the end of the valuation period in which the necessary documents are received at
a Home Office. However, Pruco Life may delay payment of proceeds from the
subaccount[s] and the variable portion of the death benefit due under the
Contract if the disposal or valuation of the Account's assets is not reasonably
practicable because the New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than a
regular holiday or weekend, trading is restricted by the SEC or the SEC declares
that an emergency exists.
With respect to the amount of any cash surrender value allocated to the
fixed-rate option, and with respect to a Contract in force as extended term
insurance, Pruco Life expects to pay the cash surrender value promptly upon
request. However, Pruco Life has the right to delay payment of such cash
surrender value for up to 6 months (or a shorter period if required by
applicable law). Pruco Life will pay interest of at least 3% a year if it delays
such a payment for more than 30 days (or a shorter period if required by
applicable law).
LIVING NEEDS BENEFIT
Contract applicants may elect to add the LIVING NEEDS BENEFIT(sm) to their
Contracts at issue. The benefit may vary state-by-state. It can generally be
added only to Contracts of $50,000 or more.
Subject to state regulatory approval, the LIVING NEEDS BENEFIT allows the
Contract owner to elect to receive an accelerated payment of all or part of the
Contract's death benefit, adjusted to reflect current value, at a time when
certain special needs exist. The adjusted death benefit will always be less than
the death benefit, but will generally be greater than the Contract's cash
surrender value. One or both of the following options may be available. A Pruco
Life representative should be consulted as to whether additional options may be
available.
20
<PAGE>
TERMINAL ILLNESS OPTION. This option is available if the insured is diagnosed as
terminally ill with a life expectancy of 6 months or less. When satisfactory
evidence is provided, Pruco Life will provide an accelerated payment of the
portion of the death benefit selected by the Contract owner as a LIVING NEEDS
BENEFIT. The Contract owner may (1) elect to receive the benefit in a single sum
or (2) receive equal monthly payments for 6 months. If the insured dies before
all of the payments have been made, the present value of the remaining payments
will be paid to the beneficiary designated in the LIVING NEEDS BENEFIT claim
form in a single sum.
NURSING HOME OPTION. This option is available after the insured has been
confined to an eligible nursing home for 6 months or more. When satisfactory
evidence is provided, including certification by a licensed physician, that the
insured is expected to remain in the nursing home until death, Pruco Life will
provide an accelerated payment of the portion of the death benefit selected by
the Contract owner as a LIVING NEEDS BENEFIT. The Contract owner may (1) elect
to receive the benefit in a single sum or (2) receive equal monthly payments for
a specified number of years (not more than 10 nor less than 2), depending upon
the age of the insured. If the insured dies before all of the payments have been
made, the present value of the remaining payments will be paid to the
beneficiary designated in the LIVING NEEDS BENEFIT claim form in a single sum.
All or part of the Contract's death benefit may be accelerated under the LIVING
NEEDS BENEFIT. If the benefit is only partially accelerated, a death benefit of
at least $25,000 must remain under the Contract. Pruco Life reserves the right
to determine the minimum amount that may be accelerated.
The LIVING NEEDS BENEFIT is available only to the extent regulatory approval has
been obtained. If desired by a Contract owner, the benefit must be requested on
the Contract's application. There is no charge for adding the benefit to the
Contract. However, an administrative charge (not to exceed $150) will be made at
the time the LIVING NEEDS BENEFIT is paid.
No benefit will be payable if the Contract owner is required to elect it in
order to meet the claims of creditors or to obtain a government benefit. Pruco
Life can furnish details about the amount of LIVING NEEDS BENEFIT that is
available to an eligible Contract owner under a particular Contract, and the
adjusted premium payments that would be in effect if less than the entire death
benefit is accelerated.
The Contract owner should consider whether adding this settlement option is
appropriate in his or her given situation. Adding the LIVING NEEDS BENEFIT to
the Contract has no adverse consequences; however, electing to use it could.
With the exception of certain business-related policies, the recently enacted
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 excludes from income
the LIVING NEEDS BENEFIT if the insured is terminally ill or chronically ill as
defined in the tax law (although the exclusion in the latter case may be
limited). Contract owners should consult a qualified tax advisor before electing
to receive this benefit. Receipt of a LIVING NEEDS BENEFIT payment may also
affect a Contract owner's eligibility for certain government benefits or
entitlements.
ILLUSTRATIONS OF CASH SURRENDER VALUES, DEATH BENEFITS, AND ACCUMULATED
PREMIUMS
The following tables have been prepared to help show how values under the
Contract change with investment performance of the Account. The tables assume
that no portion of the Contract fund is allocated to the fixed-rate option or
the Real Property Account. The tables illustrate how cash surrender values
(reflecting the deduction of deferred sales load and administrative charges, if
any) and death benefits of Contracts with the minimum scheduled premium issued
on an insured of a given age would vary over time if the return on the assets
held in the selected Series Fund portfolios were a uniform, gross, after tax,
annual rate of 0%, 4%, 8% and 12%. The death benefits and cash surrender values
would be different from those shown if the returns averaged 0%, 4%, 8% and 12%
but fluctuated over and under those averages throughout the years. The tables
also provide information about the premiums payable on and after the premium
change date. These tables reflect values under the revised Contracts. These
values are also applicable to the original Contracts except where the death
benefit has been increased to the Contract fund divided by the net single
premium, in which case the cash surrender value and death benefit figures shown
on the table are not applicable to the original Contracts. Footnotes to the
tables indicate when the values cease to be applicable to the original Contracts
and when the original Contracts would become paid-up for a given return.
The death benefits and cash surrender values shown in the first two tables on
pages T1 and T2 reflect Pruco Life's current charges. As explained earlier,
Pruco Life makes monthly mortality charges that are generally lower than those
based on the 1980 CSO Table. The values shown in the tables are calculated upon
the assumption that Pruco Life will continue to use the mortality rates that it
is currently using, even though it is permitted under the Contract to use the
higher mortality charges specified in the 1980 CSO Table. Moreover, those tables
reflect Pruco Life's current practice of waiving the front-end sales load of 5%
after total premiums paid exceeds five scheduled annual premiums. See item 2
under CHARGES AND EXPENSES, page 10. The tables also reflect Pruco Life's
current practice of increasing the Contract fund on a percentage basis based on
the attained age of the insured. While
21
<PAGE>
Pruco Life does not currently intend to withdraw or modify these reductions in
charges or additions to the Contract fund, it reserves the right to do so. The
tables are not applicable to Contracts issued on a guaranteed issue basis or to
Contracts where the risk classification is on a multiple life basis.
The death benefits and cash surrender values shown in the next two tables on
pages T3 and T4 are calculated upon the assumption that the maximum mortality
charges specified by the 1980 CSO Table are made throughout the life of the
Contract, and reflect neither the waiver of the front-end sales load nor the
monthly additions to the Contract fund that further reduce the cost of insurance
charge.
The amounts shown for the death benefit and cash surrender value as of each
Contract year reflect the fact that the net investment return on the assets held
in the subaccounts is lower than the gross return of the portfolios. This is
because the tables assume a total Series Fund expense ratio of 0.51% (taking
into account the offsets described on page 5), and also reflect a daily
mortality and expense risk charge to the Account equal to an effective annual
charge of 0.6%. The actual fees and expenses of the portfolios associated with a
particular Contract may be more or less than 0.51% and will depend on which
subaccounts are selected. Based on the above assumptions, gross annual rates of
return of 0%, 4%, 8% and 12% thus correspond to approximate net annual rates of
return of -1.11%, 2.89%, 6.89% and 10.89% and this fact is reflected in the
column headings. The tables also reflect the fact that no charges for federal or
state income taxes are currently made against the Account. If such a charge is
made in the future, it will take a higher gross rate of return to produce net
after-tax returns of -1.11%, 2.89%, 6.89% or 10.89% than it does now.
Upon request, Pruco Life will furnish a comparable illustration based on the
proposed insured's age and sex (except where unisex rates apply) and on the
guaranteed minimum death benefit or premium amount requested. Such an
illustration will assume that the insured is in the preferred rating class (or,
on request, a different rating class) and that the premium will be paid at the
frequency chosen.

<PAGE>
CONTRACT LOANS
The Contract owner may borrow from Pruco Life up to the "loan value" of the
Contract, using the Contract as the only security for the loan. The loan value
of a Contract is 90% of an amount equal to its Contract fund, reduced by any
charges due upon surrender. However, Pruco Life will, on a non-contractual basis
(contractual in Texas), increase the loan value by permitting a Contract owner
to borrow up to 100% of the portion of the Contract fund attributable to the
fixed-rate option (or any portion of the Contract fund attributable to a prior
loan supported by the fixed-rate option), reduced by any charges due upon
surrender. The minimum amount that may be borrowed at any one time is $500
unless the loan is used to pay premiums on the Contract.
Under one of the loan provisions available under this Contract, interest charged
on a loan accrues daily at a fixed effective annual rate of 5.5%. However, if a
Contract owner so desires, and if Pruco Life has received any required approvals
from the regulatory officials in the state or other jurisdiction in which the
Contract is to be issued, the Contract owner may elect at the time of issuance
of the Contract to have a different loan provision in the Contract under which
the interest rate will vary from time to time.
If an owner elects the variable loan interest rate provision, interest charged
on any loan will accrue daily at an annual rate Pruco Life determines at the
start of each Contract year (instead of at the fixed 5.5% rate). This interest
rate will not exceed the greatest of (1) the "Published Monthly Average" for the
calendar month ending two months before the calendar month of the Contract
anniversary; (2) 5%; or (3) any rate required by law in the state of issue of
the Contract. The "Published Monthly Average" means Moody's Corporate Bond Yield
Average-Monthly Average Corporates, as published by Moody's Investors Service,
Inc. or any successor to that service, or if that average is no longer
published, a substantially similar average established by the insurance
regulator where the Contract is issued. For example, the Published Monthly
Average in 1996 ranged from 7.10% to 8.00%.
Interest payments on any loan are due at the end of each Contract year. If
interest is not paid when due, it is added to the principal amount of the loan.
The term "Contract debt" means the amount of all outstanding loans plus any
interest accrued but not yet due. If at any time the Contract debt exceeds the
cash surrender value, Pruco Life will notify the Contract owner of its intent to
terminate the Contract in 61 days, within which time the owner may repay all or
enough of the loan to keep the Contract in force for a limited time. If the
Contract owner fails to keep the Contract in force, the amount of unpaid
Contract debt will be treated as a distribution which may be taxable. See LAPSE
AND REINSTATEMENT, page 20 and TAX TREATMENT OF CONTRACT BENEFITS - PRE-DEATH
DISTRIBUTIONS, page 26.
When a loan is made, an amount equal to the loan proceeds will be transferred
out of the applicable investment option[s]. The reduction will generally be made
in the same proportions as the value in each investment option bears to the
total value of the Contract. While a fixed-rate loan is outstanding, the amount
that was so transferred will continue to be treated as part of the Contract fund
but it will be credited with the assumed rate of return of 4% rather than with
the actual rate of return of the applicable investment option[s]. While a loan
made pursuant to the variable loan interest rate provision is outstanding, the
amount that was transferred is credited with a rate which is less than the loan
interest rate for the Contract year by no more than 1.5%, rather than with the
actual rate of return of the subaccount[s], the fixed-rate option or the Real
Property Account. Currently, Pruco Life credits such amounts with a rate that is
1% less than the loan interest rate for the Contract year. If a loan remains
outstanding at a time when Pruco Life fixes a new rate, the new interest rate
will apply.
A loan will not affect the amount of the premiums due. Should the death benefit
become payable while a loan is outstanding, or should the Contract be
surrendered, any Contract debt will be deducted from the death benefit or the
cash surrender value otherwise payable. Loans from Modified Endowment Contracts
may be treated for tax purposes as distributions of income. See TAX TREATMENT OF
CONTRACT BENEFITS, page 25.
A loan will have a permanent effect on a Contract's cash surrender value and may
have a permanent effect on the death benefit because the investment results of
the selected investment options will apply only to the amount remaining in those
investment options. The longer the loan is outstanding, the greater the effect
is likely to be. The effect could be favorable or unfavorable. If investment
results are greater than the rate being credited upon the amount of the loan
while the loan is outstanding, Contract values will not increase as rapidly as
they would have if no loan had been made. If investment results are below that
rate, Contract values will be higher than they would have been had no loan been
made. A loan that is repaid will not have any effect upon the guaranteed minimum
death benefit.
Consider the Form A Contract issued on a 35 year old male insured illustrated in
the table on page T1 with an 8% gross investment return. Assume a $2,000 (5.5%)
fixed-rate loan was made under this Contract at the end of Contract year 8 and
repaid at the end of Contract year 10 and loan interest was paid when due. Upon
repayment, the cash surrender value would be $4,581.76. This amount is lower
than the cash surrender value shown on that page for the end of Contract year 10
because the loan amount was credited with the 4% assumed rate of return
23
<PAGE>
rather than the 6.89% net return for the designated subaccount[s] resulting from
the 8% gross return in the underlying Series Fund.
REPORTS TO CONTRACT OWNERS
Once each Contract year (except where the Contract is in force as fixed extended
term insurance), Contract owners will be sent statements that provide certain
information pertinent to their own Contract. These statements detail values and
transactions made and specific Contract data that apply only to each particular
Contract. On request, a Contract owner will be sent a current statement in a
form similar to that of the annual statement described above, but Pruco Life may
limit the number of such requests or impose a reasonable charge if such requests
are made too frequently.
Contract owners will also be sent annual and semi-annual reports of the Series
Fund showing the financial condition of the portfolios and the investments held
in each.
OPTIONS ON LAPSE
If a Contract lapses because the necessary premium has not been paid before the
end of the grace period, some life insurance coverage may continue in effect or
the owner may choose to surrender the Contract for its cash surrender value.
1. FIXED EXTENDED TERM INSURANCE. With two exceptions explained below, if the
owner does not communicate at all with Pruco Life, life insurance coverage will
continue for a length of time that depends on the cash surrender value on the
date of default (which reflects the deduction of the deferred sales load,
administrative charges, and Contract debt, if any), the amount of insurance, and
the age and sex (except where unisex rates apply) of the insured. The insurance
amount will be what it would have been on the date of default taking into
account any Contract debt on that date. The amount will not change while the
insurance stays in force. This benefit is known as extended term insurance. If
the owner requests, he or she will be told in writing how long the insurance
will be in effect. Extended term insurance has a cash surrender value, but no
loan value.
Contracts issued on the lives of certain insureds in high risk rating classes
and Contracts issued in connection with tax qualified pension plans will include
a statement that extended term insurance will not be provided. In those cases,
variable reduced paid-up insurance will be the automatic benefit provided on
lapse.
2. VARIABLE REDUCED PAID-UP INSURANCE. Variable reduced paid-up insurance
provides insurance coverage for the lifetime of the insured. The initial
insurance amount will depend upon the cash surrender value on the date of
default (which reflects the deduction of the deferred sales load, administrative
charges, and Contract debt, if any), and the age and sex of the insured. This
will be a new guaranteed minimum death benefit. Aside from this guarantee, the
cash surrender value and the amount of insurance will vary with investment
performance in the same manner as the paid-up Contract described earlier. See
WHEN A CONTRACT BECOMES PAID-UP, page 16. Variable reduced paid-up insurance has
a loan privilege identical to that available on premium paying Contracts. See
CONTRACT LOANS, page 23. Acquisition of reduced paid-up insurance within the
first 7 Contract years may result in the Contract becoming a Modified Endowment
Contract. See TAX TREATMENT OF CONTRACT BENEFITS, page 25.
As explained above, variable reduced paid-up insurance is the automatic benefit
on lapse for Contracts issued on certain insureds. Owners of other Contracts who
want variable reduced paid-up insurance must ask for it in writing, in a form
that meets Pruco Life's needs, within three months of the date of default; it
will be available to such owners only if the initial amount of variable reduced
paid-up insurance would be at least $5,000. This minimum is not applicable to
Contracts for which variable reduced paid-up insurance is the automatic benefit
upon lapse.
3. PAYMENT OF CASH SURRENDER VALUE. The owner can receive the cash surrender
value by surrendering the Contract and making a written request in a form that
meets Pruco Life's needs. If Pruco Life receives the request after the 61-day
grace period has expired, the cash surrender value will be the net value of any
extended term insurance then in force, or the net value of any reduced paid-up
insurance then in force, less any Contract debt. Surrender of the Contract may
have tax consequences. See TAX TREATMENT OF CONTRACT BENEFITS, page 25.
RIGHT TO EXCHANGE A CONTRACT FOR A FIXED-BENEFIT INSURANCE POLICY
1. ORIGINAL CONTRACTS. At any time during the first 24 months after a Contract
is issued, so long as the Contract is not in default, the owner may exchange it
for an APPRECIABLE LIFE insurance policy on the insured's life issued by Pruco
Life. This is a general account, universal-life type policy with guaranteed
minimum values. No evidence of insurability will be required to make an
exchange. The new policy's premium and death benefit will be the same as the
original Contract's on the date of exchange. The new policy will also have the
same issue date and risk classification for the insured as the original
Contract. If the Contract fund value under the original Contract is greater than
the tabular Contract fund value under the new policy, the difference will be
credited to the Contract
24
<PAGE>
owner and carried over to the new policy. If the Contract fund value under the
original Contract is less than the tabular Contract fund value under the new
policy, a cash payment will be required from the exchanging owner.
The exchange will be effective when Pruco Life receives a written request in a
form that meets its needs. Any outstanding Contract debt must be repaid on or
before the effective date of the exchange.
The Contract owner may also exchange the Contract for an APPRECIABLE LIFE policy
according to procedures meeting applicable state insurance law requirements if
the Series Fund or one of its portfolios has a material change in its investment
policy. The Company, in conjunction with the Arizona Director of Insurance, will
determine if a change in investment policy is material. The Contract owner will
be able to exchange within 60 days of receipt of notice of such a material
change or of the effective date of the change, whichever is later.
2. REVISED CONTRACTS. Under the revised Contracts, the only right to exchange
the Contract for a fixed-benefit contract is provided by allowing Contract
owners to transfer their entire Contract fund to the fixed-rate option at any
time within the first 2 years from issue (or within 2 years of any increase in
face amount with respect to the amount of the increase) without regard to the
otherwise applicable limit of four transfers per year. See TRANSFERS, page 10.
This conversion right will also be provided if the Series Fund or one of its
portfolios has a material change in its investment policy, as explained above.
Generally, there is no right to exchange for an APPRECIABLE LIFE contract.
SALE OF THE CONTRACT AND SALES COMMISSIONS
Pruco Securities Corporation ("Prusec"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
Prudential, acts as the principal underwriter of the Contract. Prusec, organized
in 1971 under New Jersey law, is registered as a broker and dealer under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. Prusec's principal business address is 213 Washington
Street, Newark, New Jersey 07102-2992. The Contract is sold by registered
representatives of Prusec who are also authorized by state insurance departments
to do so. The Contract may also be sold through other broker-dealers authorized
by Prusec and applicable law to do so. Registered representatives of such other
broker-dealers may be paid on a different basis than described below. Where the
insured is less than 60 years of age, the representative will generally receive
a commission of no more than 50% of the scheduled premiums for the first year,
no more than 12% of the scheduled premiums for the second, third, and fourth
years, no more than 3% of the scheduled premiums for the fifth through tenth
years, and no more than 2% of the scheduled premiums thereafter. For insureds
over 59 years of age, the commission will be lower. The representative may be
required to return all or part of the first year commission if the Contract is
not continued through the second year. Representatives with less than 3 years of
service may be paid on a different basis. Representatives who meet certain
productivity, profitability, and persistency standards with regard to the sale
of the Contract will be eligible for additional compensation.
Sales expenses in any year are not equal to the deduction for sales load in that
year. Pruco Life expects to recover its total sales expenses over the periods
the Contracts are in effect. To the extent that the sales charges are
insufficient to cover total sales expenses, the sales expenses will be recovered
from Pruco Life's surplus, which may include amounts derived from the mortality
and expense risk charge and the guaranteed minimum death benefit risk charge
described in items 5 and 7 under CHARGES AND EXPENSES, page 10.
TAX TREATMENT OF CONTRACT BENEFITS
Each prospective purchaser is urged to consult a qualified tax advisor. The
following discussion is not intended as tax advice, and it is not a complete
statement of what the effect of federal income taxes will be under all
circumstances. Rather, it provides information about how Pruco Life believes the
tax laws apply in the most commonly occurring circumstances. There is no
guarantee, however, that the current federal income tax laws and regulations or
interpretations will not change.
TREATMENT AS LIFE INSURANCE. The Contract will be treated as "life insurance,"
as long as it satisfies certain definitional tests set forth in sections 7702 of
the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and as long as the underlying investments
for the Contract satisfy diversification requirements under section 817(h) of
the Code. (For further detail on diversification requirements, see DIVIDENDS,
DISTRIBUTIONS, AND TAXES in the attached prospectus for the Series Fund.)
Pruco Life believes that it has taken adequate steps to cause the Contract to be
treated as life insurance for tax purposes. This means that: (1) except as noted
below, the Contract owner should not be taxed on any part of the Contract fund,
including additions attributable to interest, dividends or appreciation until
amounts are distributed under the Contract; and (2) the death benefit should be
excludible from the gross income of the beneficiary under section 101(a) of the
Code.
However, section 7702 of the Code which defines life insurance for tax purposes
gives the Secretary of the Treasury authority to prescribe regulations to carry
out the purposes of the section. In this regard, proposed
25
<PAGE>
regulations governing mortality charges were issued in 1991 and proposed
regulations relating to the definition of life insurance were issued in 1992.
None of these proposed regulations has yet been finalized. Additional
regulations under section 7702 may also be promulgated in the future. Moreover,
in connection with the issuance of temporary regulations under section 817(h),
the Treasury Department announced that such regulations do not provide guidance
concerning the extent to which Contract owners may direct their investments to
particular divisions of a separate account. Such guidance will be included in
regulations or rulings under section 817(d) relating to the definition of a
variable contract.
Pruco Life intends to comply with final regulations issued under sections 7702
and 817. Therefore, it reserves the right to make such changes as it deems
necessary to assure that the Contract continues to qualify as life insurance for
tax purposes. Any such changes will apply uniformly to affected Contract owners
and will be made only after advance written notice to affected Contract owners.
PRE-DEATH DISTRIBUTIONS. The taxation of pre-death distributions depends on
whether the Contract is classified as a Modified Endowment Contract. The
following discussion first deals with distributions under Contracts not so
classified, and then with Modified Endowment Contracts.
1. A surrender or lapse of the Contract may have tax consequences. Upon
surrender, the owner will not be taxed on the cash surrender value except
for the amount, if any, that exceeds the gross premiums paid less the
untaxed portion of any prior withdrawals. The amount of any unpaid
Contract debt will, upon surrender or lapse, be added to the cash
surrender value and treated, for this purpose, as if it had been received.
Any loss incurred upon surrender is generally not deductible. The tax
consequences of a surrender may differ if the proceeds are received under
any income payment settlement option.
A withdrawal (or partial surrender) generally is not taxable unless it
exceeds total premiums paid to the date of withdrawal less the untaxed
portion of any prior withdrawals. However, under certain limited
circumstances, in the first 15 Contract years all or a portion of a
withdrawal may be taxable if the Contract fund exceeds the total premiums
paid less the untaxed portions of any prior withdrawals, even if total
withdrawals do not exceed total premiums paid to date.
Extra premiums for optional benefits and riders generally do not count in
computing gross premiums paid, which in turn determines the extent to
which a withdrawal might be taxed.
Loans received under the Contract will ordinarily be treated as
indebtedness of the owner and will not be considered to be distributions
subject to tax.
2. Some of the above rules are changed if the Contract is classified as a
Modified Endowment Contract under section 7702A of the Code. It is
possible for this Contract to be classified as a Modified Endowment
Contract under at least two circumstances: premiums in excess of scheduled
premiums are paid; or a decrease in the face amount of insurance is made
(or a rider removed) during the first 7 Contract years. Moreover, the
addition of a rider or the increase in the face amount of insurance after
the Contract date may have an impact on the Contract's status as a
Modified Endowment Contract. Contract owners contemplating any of these
steps should first consult a qualified tax advisor and their Pruco Life
representative.
If the Contract is classified as a Modified Endowment Contract, then
pre-death distributions, including loans and withdrawals, are includible
in income to the extent that the Contract fund prior to surrender charges
exceeds the gross premiums paid for the Contract increased by the amount
of any loans previously includible in income and reduced by any untaxed
amounts previously received other than the amount of any loans excludible
from income. These rules may also apply to pre-death distributions,
including loans, made during the 2-year period prior to the Contract
becoming a Modified Endowment Contract.
In addition, pre-death distributions from such Contracts (including full
surrenders) will be subject to a penalty of 10 percent of the amount
includible in income unless the amount is distributed on or after age 59
1/2, on account of the taxpayer's disability or as a life annuity. It is
presently unclear how the penalty tax provisions apply to Contracts owned
by nonnatural persons such as corporations.
Under certain circumstances, the Code requires two or more Modified
Endowment Contracts issued during a calendar year period to be treated as
a single contract for purposes of applying the above rules.
WITHHOLDING
The taxable portion of any amounts received under the Contract will be subject
to withholding to meet federal income tax obligations if the Contract owner
fails to elect that no taxes be withheld or in certain other circumstances.
Contract owners who do not provide a social security number or other taxpayer
identification number will not be permitted to elect out of withholding. All
recipients may be subject to penalties under the estimated tax payment rules if
withholding and estimated tax payments of such amount are not sufficient.
26
<PAGE>
OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS. Transfer of the Contract to a new owner or assignment
of the Contract may have tax consequences depending on the circumstances. In the
case of a transfer of the Contract for a valuable consideration, the death
benefit may be subject to federal income taxes under section 101(a)(2) of the
Code. In addition, a transfer of the Contract to or the designation of a
beneficiary who is either 37 1/2 years younger than the Contract owner or a
grandchild of the Contract owner may have Generation Skipping Transfer tax
consequences under section 2601 of the Code.
In certain circumstances, deductions for interest paid or accrued on Contract
debt or on other loans that are incurred or continued to purchase or carry the
Contract may be denied under section 163 of the Code as personal interest or
under section 264 of the Code. Contract owners should consult his or her own tax
advisor regarding the application of these provisions to their circumstances.
Business-owned life insurance is subject to additional rules. Section 264(a)(1)
of the Code generally precludes business Contract owners from deducting premium
payments. The recently enacted Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act of 1996 generally disallows tax deductions for interest on Contract debt on
a business- owned insurance policy effective (with certain transitional rules)
for interest paid or accrued after October 13, 1995. An exception permits the
deduction of interest on policy loans on Contracts for up to 20 key persons. The
interest deduction for Contract debt on such loans is limited to a prescribed
interest rate and a maximum aggregate loan amount of $50,000 per key insured
person. The Code also imposes an indirect tax upon additions to the Contract
fund or the receipt of death benefits under business-owned life insurance
policies under certain circumstances by way of the corporate alternative minimum
tax.
The individual situation of each Contract owner or beneficiary will determine
the federal estate taxes and the state and local estate, inheritance and other
taxes due if the owner or insured dies.
CONTRACTS ISSUED IN CONNECTION WITH TAX-QUALIFIED PENSION PLANS
The Contracts may be acquired in connection with the funding of retirement plans
satisfying the qualification requirements of section 401 of the Internal Revenue
Code. Such Contracts may be issued with a minimum face amount of $25,000, and
increases and decreases in face amount may be effected in minimum increments of
$10,000. The monthly charge for anticipated mortality costs and the scheduled
premiums under such Contracts will be the same for male and female insureds of a
particular age and underwriting classification. Illustrations reflecting such
premiums and charges will be given to purchasers of Contracts issued in
connection with qualified plans. Only certain of the riders normally available
with the Contracts are available to Contracts issued in connection with
qualified plans. See RIDERS, page 28. Moreover, variable reduced paid-up
insurance and payment of cash surrender value are the only options on lapse
available to Contracts issued in connection with qualified plans. See OPTIONS ON
LAPSE, page 24. Finally, Contracts issued in connection with qualified plans may
not invest in the Real Property Account.
Prior to purchase of a Contract in connection with a qualified plan, the
applicable tax rules relating to such plans and life insurance thereunder should
be examined in consultation with a qualified tax advisor.
THE FIXED-RATE OPTION
BECAUSE OF EXEMPTIVE AND EXCLUSIONARY PROVISIONS, INTERESTS IN THE FIXED-RATE
OPTION UNDER THE CONTRACT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933 AND THE GENERAL ACCOUNT HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED AS AN INVESTMENT COMPANY
UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940. ACCORDINGLY, INTERESTS IN THE
FIXED-RATE OPTION ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THESE ACTS, AND PRUCO
LIFE HAS BEEN ADVISED THAT THE STAFF OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
HAS NOT REVIEWED THE DISCLOSURE IN THIS PROSPECTUS RELATING TO THE FIXED-RATE
OPTION. DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE FIXED-RATE OPTION MAY, HOWEVER, BE SUBJECT TO
CERTAIN GENERALLY APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS RELATING TO
THE ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF STATEMENTS MADE IN PROSPECTUSES.
As explained earlier, a Contract owner may elect to allocate, either initially
or by transfer, all or part of the amount credited under the Contract to a
fixed-rate option, and the amount so allocated or transferred becomes part of
Pruco Life's general assets. Sometimes this is referred to as Pruco Life's
general account, which consists of all assets owned by Pruco Life other than
those in the Account and in other separate accounts that have been or may be
established by Pruco Life. Subject to applicable law, Pruco Life has sole
discretion over the investment of the assets of the general account, and
Contract owners do not share in the investment experience of those assets.
Instead, Pruco Life guarantees that the part of the Contract fund allocated to
the fixed-rate option will accrue interest daily at an effective annual rate
that Pruco Life declares periodically, but not less than an effective annual
rate of 4%. Currently, declared interest rates remain in effect from the date
money is allocated to the fixed-rate option until the Monthly date in the same
month in the following year. Thereafter, a new crediting rate will be declared
each year and will remain in effect for the calendar year. Pruco Life reserves
the right to change this practice. Pruco Life is not obligated to credit
interest at a higher rate than 4%, although in its sole discretion it may do so.
Different crediting rates may be declared for different portions of the Contract
fund allocated to the
27
<PAGE>
fixed-rate option. On request, a Contract owner will be advised of the interest
rates that currently apply to his or her Contract.
Transfers from the fixed-rate option are subject to strict limits. (See
TRANSFERS, page 10). The payment of any cash surrender value attributable to the
fixed-rate option may be delayed up to 6 months (see WHEN PROCEEDS ARE PAID,
page 20).
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO SEX-DISTINCT PREMIUMS AND BENEFITS
The Contract generally employs mortality tables that distinguish between males
and females. Thus, premiums and benefits under Contracts issued on males and
females of the same age will generally differ. However, in those states that
have adopted regulations prohibiting sex-distinct insurance rates, premiums and
cost of insurance charges will be based on a blended unisex rate whether the
insured is male or female. In addition, employers and employee organizations
considering purchase of a Contract should consult their legal advisors to
determine whether purchase of a Contract based on sex-distinct actuarial tables
is consistent with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or other applicable
law. Pruco Life may offer the Contract with unisex mortality rates to such
prospective purchasers.
OTHER GENERAL CONTRACT PROVISIONS
BENEFICIARY. The beneficiary is designated and named in the application by the
Contract owner. Thereafter, the owner may change the beneficiary, provided it is
in accordance with the terms of the Contract. Should the insured die with no
surviving beneficiary, the insured's estate will become the beneficiary.
INCONTESTABILITY. After the Contract has been in force during the insured's
lifetime for 2 years from the Contract date or, with respect to any change in
the Contract that requires Pruco Life's approval and could increase its
liability, after the change has been in effect during the insured's lifetime for
2 years from the effective date of the change, Pruco Life will not contest its
liability under the Contract in accordance with its terms.
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX. If the insured's stated age or sex (except where
unisex rates apply) or both are incorrect in the Contract, Pruco Life will
adjust the death benefits payable, as required by law, to reflect the correct
age and sex. Any death benefit will be based on what the most recent charge for
mortality would have provided at the correct age and sex.
SUICIDE EXCLUSION. Generally, if the insured, whether sane or insane, dies by
suicide within 2 years from the Contract date, Pruco Life will pay no more under
the Contract than the sum of the premiums paid.
If the insured, whether sane or insane, dies by suicide within 2 years from the
effective date of an increase in the face amount of insurance, Pruco Life will
pay, with respect to the amount of the increase, no more than the sum of the
scheduled premiums attributable to the increase.
ASSIGNMENT. This Contract may not be assigned if such assignment would violate
any federal, state or local law or regulation. Pruco Life assumes no
responsibility for the validity or sufficiency of any assignment, and it will
not be obligated to comply with any assignment unless it has received a copy at
one of its Home Offices.
SETTLEMENT OPTIONS. The Contract grants to most owners, or to the beneficiary, a
variety of optional ways of receiving Contract proceeds, other than in a lump
sum. Any Pruco Life representative authorized to sell this Contract can explain
these options upon request.
RIDERS
Contract owners may be able to obtain extra fixed benefits which may require an
additional premium. These benefits will be described in what is known as a
"rider" to the Contract. Charges for riders will be taken out of the Contract's
Contract fund on each Monthly date. One rider pays an additional amount if the
insured dies in an accident. Others waive certain premiums if the insured is
disabled within the meaning of the provision (or, in the case of a Contract
issued on an insured under the age of 15, if the applicant dies or becomes
disabled within the meaning of the provision). Others pay an additional amount
if the insured dies within a stated number of years after issue; similar term
insurance riders may be available for the insured's spouse or child. The amounts
of these benefits are fully guaranteed at issue; they do not depend on the
performance of the Account. Certain restrictions may apply; they are clearly
described in the applicable rider. Any Pruco Life representative authorized to
sell the Contract can explain these riders further. Samples of the provisions
are available from Pruco Life upon written request.
Under one form of rider, which provides monthly renewable term life insurance,
the amount payable upon the death of the insured may be substantially increased.
If this rider is purchased, even the original Contract will not become paid-up,
although, if the Contract fund becomes sufficiently large, a time may come when
Pruco Life will have the right to refuse to accept further premiums. See WHEN A
CONTRACT BECOMES PAID-UP, page 16.
28
<PAGE>
Under another form of rider that is purchased for a single premium, businesses
that own a Contract covering certain employees may be able to change the insured
person from one key employee to another if certain requirements are met.
VOTING RIGHTS
As stated above, all of the assets held in the subaccounts of the Account will
be invested in shares of the corresponding portfolios of the Series Fund. Pruco
Life is the legal owner of those shares and as such has the right to vote on any
matter voted on at Series Fund shareholders meetings. However, Pruco Life will,
as required by law, vote the shares of the Series Fund at any regular and
special shareholders meetings it is required to hold in accordance with voting
instructions received from Contract owners. The Series Fund will not hold annual
shareholders meetings when not required to do so under Maryland law or the
Investment Company Act of 1940. Series Fund shares for which no timely
instructions from Contract owners are received, and any shares attributable to
general account investments of Pruco Life will be voted in the same proportion
as shares in the respective portfolios for which instructions are received.
Should the applicable federal securities laws or regulations, or their current
interpretation, change so as to permit Pruco Life to vote shares of the Series
Fund in its own right, it may elect to do so.
Matters on which Contract owners may give voting instructions include the
following: (1) election of the Board of Directors of the Series Fund; (2)
ratification of the independent accountant of the Series Fund; (3) approval of
the investment advisory agreement for a portfolio of the Series Fund
corresponding to the Contract owner's selected subaccount[s]; (4) any change in
the fundamental investment policy of a portfolio corresponding to the Contract
owner's selected subaccount[s]; and (5) any other matter requiring a vote of the
shareholders of the Series Fund. With respect to approval of the investment
advisory agreement or any change in a portfolio's fundamental investment policy,
Contract owners participating in such portfolios will vote separately on the
matter, pursuant to the requirements of Rule 18f-2 under the 1940 Act.
The number of Series Fund shares for which instructions may be given by a
Contract owner is determined by dividing the portion of the value of the
Contract derived from participation in a subaccount, by the value of one share
in the corresponding portfolio of the Series Fund. The number of votes for which
each Contract owner may give Pruco Life instructions will be determined as of
the record date chosen by the Board of Directors of the Series Fund. Pruco Life
will furnish Contract owners with proper forms and proxies to enable them to
give these instructions. Pruco Life reserves the right to modify the manner in
which the weight to be given voting instructions is calculated where such a
change is necessary to comply with current federal regulations or
interpretations of those regulations.
Pruco Life may, if required by state insurance regulations, disregard voting
instructions if such instructions would require shares to be voted so as to
cause a change in the sub-classification or investment objectives of one or more
of the Series Fund's portfolios, or to approve or disapprove an investment
advisory contract for the Series Fund. In addition, Pruco Life itself may
disregard voting instructions that would require changes in the investment
policy or investment advisor of one or more of the Series Fund's portfolios,
provided that Pruco Life reasonably disapproves such changes in accordance with
applicable federal regulations. If Pruco Life does disregard voting
instructions, it will advise Contract owners of that action and its reasons for
such action in the next annual or semi-annual report to Contract owners.
SUBSTITUTION OF SERIES FUND SHARES
Although Pruco Life believes it to be unlikely, it is possible that in the
judgment of its management, one or more of the portfolios of the Series Fund may
become unsuitable for investment by Contract owners because of investment policy
changes, tax law changes, or the unavailability of shares for investment. In
that event, Pruco Life may seek to substitute the shares of another portfolio or
of an entirely different mutual fund. Before this can be done, the approval of
the SEC, and possibly one or more state insurance departments, will be required.
Contract owners will be notified of such substitution.
STATE REGULATION
Pruco Life is subject to regulation and supervision by the Department of
Insurance of the State of Arizona, which periodically examines its operations
and financial condition. It is also subject to the insurance laws and
regulations of all jurisdictions in which it is authorized to do business.
Pruco Life is required to submit annual statements of its operations, including
financial statements, to the insurance departments of the various jurisdictions
in which it does business to determine solvency and compliance with local
insurance laws and regulations.
29
<PAGE>
In addition to the annual statements referred to above, Pruco Life is required
to file with Arizona and other jurisdictions a separate statement with respect
to the operations of all its variable contract accounts, in a form promulgated
by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.
EXPERTS
The financial statements included in this prospectus for the year ended December
31, 1996 have been audited by Price Waterhouse LLP, independent accountants, as
stated in their reports appearing herein, and are included in reliance upon the
reports of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and
auditing. Price Waterhouse LLP's principal business address is 1177 Avenue of

address is Two Hilton Court, Parsippany, New Jersey 07054- 0319.
On March 12, 1996, Deloitte & Touche LLP was dismissed as the independent
accountants of Pruco Life. There have been no disagreements with Deloitte &
Touche LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to
the satisfaction of the accountant, would have caused them to make reference to
the matter in their reports.
Actuarial matters included in this prospectus have been examined by Pam A.
Schiz, FSA, MAAA, Actuarial Director of Prudential whose opinion is filed as an
exhibit to the registration statement.
LITIGATION
Several actions have been brought against Pruco Life alleging that Pruco Life
and its agents engaged in improper life insurance sales practices. Prudential
has agreed to indemnify Pruco Life for losses, if any, resulting from such
litigation. No other significant litigation is being brought against Pruco Life
that would have a material effect on its financial position.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
PRUCO LIFE VARIABLE APPRECIABLE ACCOUNT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996
NOTE 1: GENERAL
Pruco Life Variable Appreciable Account ("the Account") was established on
January 13, 1984 under Arizona law as a separate investment account of Pruco
Life Insurance Company ("Pruco Life") which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The
Prudential Insurance Company of America ("Prudential"). The assets of the
Account are segregated from Pruco Life's other assets. Currently only Pruco
Life's Variable Appreciable Life ("VAL") Contracts invest in the Account. Pruco
Life's Variable Universal Life ("VUL") Contracts will begin investing in the
Account on January 24, 1997.
The Account is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
as a unit investment trust. There are thirteen subaccounts within the Account,
each of which invests only in a corresponding portfolio of The Prudential Series
Fund, Inc. (the "Series Fund"). The Series Fund is a diversified open-end
management investment company, and is managed by Prudential.
New sales of the VAL product which invests in the Account were discontinued as
of May 1, 1992. However, premium payments made by current VAL Contract owners
will continue to be received by the Account. All premium payments for the VUL
product will be received by the Account.
NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying financial statements are prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The preparation of the financial
statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Investments--The investments in shares of the Series Fund are stated at the net
asset value of the respective portfolio.
Security Transactions--Realized gains and losses on security transactions are
reported on an average cost basis. Purchase and sale transactions are recorded
as of the trade date of the security being purchased or sold.
Distributions Received--Dividend and capital gain distributions received are
reinvested in additional shares of the Series Fund and are recorded on
ex-dividend date.
Equity of Pruco Life Insurance Company--Pruco Life maintains a position in the
Account for the purpose of administering activity in the Account. The activity
includes unit transactions, fund share transactions, and expense processing.
Pruco Life monitors the balance daily and transfers funds based upon anticipated
activity. At times, Pruco Life may owe an amount to the Account, which is
reflected in Pruco Life's equity as a negative balance. The position does not
have an effect on the Contract owner's account or the related unit value.

NOTE 5: CHARGES AND EXPENSES
A. Mortality Risk and Expense Risk Charges
The mortality risk and expense risk charges at an effective annual rate of
0.60% are applied against the net assets representing equity of VAL and VUL
Contract owners held in each subaccount. Mortality risk is that Contract
holders may not live as long as estimated and expense risk is that the cost
of issuing and administering the policies may exceed the estimated
expenses. For 1996, the amount of these charges paid to Pruco Life for the
VAL product was $14,713,391.
B. Deferred Sales Charge
Subsequent to a Contract owner redemption, a deferred sales charge is
imposed upon surrenders of certain variable life insurance contracts to
compensate Pruco Life for sales and other marketing expenses. The amount of
any sales charge will depend on the number of years that have elapsed since
the Contract was issued. No sales charge will be imposed after the tenth
year of the Contract. No sales charge will be imposed on death benefits.
For 1996, the amount of these charges paid to Pruco Life for VAL was
$3,439,306.
C. Partial Withdrawal Charge
A charge is imposed by Pruco Life on partial withdrawals of the cash
surrender value. For 1996, the amount of these charges paid to Pruco Life
for VAL was $69,170.
D. Expense Reimbursement
Pursuant to a prior merger agreement, the Account is reimbursed by Pruco
Life for expenses in excess of 0.40% of the VAL product's average daily net
assets incurred by the Money Market, Diversified Bond, Equity, Flexible
Managed, and the Conservative Balanced Portfolios of the Series Fund. For
1996, the amount of these reimbursements totaled $4,218,009.
E. Cost of Insurance Charges
Contract holder contributions are applied to the Account net of the
following charges: transaction costs, premium taxes, sales loads, monthly
administration charges, and death benefit risk charges. During 1996, Pruco
Life received from Contract owners $4,272,094, $5,444,940, $393,203,
$13,244,265 and $2,484,809, respectively for these charges for VAL.
NOTE 6: TAXES
Pruco Life is taxed as a "life insurance company" under the Internal
Revenue Code and the operations of the Account form a part of and are taxed
with those of Pruco Life. Under current federal law, no federal income
taxes are payable by the Account. As such, no provision for tax liability
has been recorded.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Contract Owners of
Pruco Life Variable Appreciable Account
and the Board of Directors of
Pruco Life Insurance Company
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related
statements of operations and of changes in net assets present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Money Market Subaccount,
Diversified Bond Subaccount, Equity Subaccount, Flexible Managed Subaccount,
Conservative Balanced Subaccount, High Yield Bond Subaccount, Stock Index
Subaccount, Equity Income Subaccount, Natural Resources Subaccount, Global
Subaccount, Government Income Subaccount, Prudential Jennison Subaccount and
Small Capitalization Stock Subaccount of Pruco Life Variable Appreciable Account
at December 31, 1996, and the results of each of their operations and the
changes in each of their net assets for the year then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of Pruco Life Insurance Company's management; our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of shares owned in The Prudential Series
Fund, Inc. at December 31, 1996, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion
expressed above.

the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the changes in net assets of each of the respective subaccounts
constituting the Pruco Life Variable Appreciable Account for the respective
stated periods in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
PRUCO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995, AND 1994
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRINCIPLES
A. Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Pruco Life Insurance Company (Pruco Life), a stock life insurance company,
and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company). Pruco Life is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of The Prudential Insurance Company of America
(Prudential), a mutual life insurance company. The Company markets
individual life insurance and deferred annuities primarily through
Prudential's sales force in the United States, and in Taiwan. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
B. Basis of Presentation
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 40
"Applicability of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles to Mutual Life
Insurance and Other Enterprises", as amended by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 120 "Accounting and Reporting by Mutual Life
Insurance Enterprises and by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Long-Duration
Participating Contracts", effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1995. Financial statements of mutual life insurance companies,
and their wholly owned stock life insurance subsidiaries, for periods
beginning after December 15, 1995 which are prepared on the basis of
statutory accounting practices will no longer be characterized as in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). As a
result, the Company has prepared its 1996 consolidated financial statements
in accordance with all applicable GAAP pronouncements. The 1995 and 1994
consolidated financial statements, which were previously prepared on the
statutory basis of accounting, have been restated in accordance with GAAP.
The cumulative effect of adopting GAAP as of January 1, 1994 was an increase
in retained earnings of $378.3 million. See Note 7 for a reconciliation of
the Company's surplus and net income determined in accordance with statutory
accounting practices with equity and net income determined on a GAAP basis.
On January 1, 1995, the Company adopted SFAS 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," which expanded the use of fair
value accounting for those securities that a company does not have positive
intent and ability to hold to maturity. Implementation of this statement
decreased stockholder's equity by $39.8 million net of deferred income tax
benefit of $21.4 million. In 1994 prior to the adoption of SFAS 115, all
fixed maturities were carried at amortized cost.
C. Investments
Fixed Maturities - Securities held to maturity are those that the Company
has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and are principally
reported at amortized cost. Amortized cost is adjusted to estimated fair
value for impairments which are deemed to be other than temporary.
Where the Company may not have the positive intent to hold fixed maturities
until maturity, the securities are classified as "Available for Sale." These
securities are reported at market value based principally on their quoted
market prices. The associated unrealized gains and losses, net of income
taxes and deferred policy acquisition costs, are included as a component of
equity or if deemed to be other than temporary, are included as a realized
loss.
Equity Securities consist primarily of common and preferred stocks.
Marketable equity securities are reported at market value based principally
on their quoted market prices. Cost basis of the equity securities is $3.9
million and $5.3 million as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The
associated unrealized gains and losses are included as a component of
equity.
Mortgage Loans and Policy Loans are stated primarily at unpaid principal
balances, net of unamortized discounts. Interest income is recognized as net
investment income earned.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
PRUCO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995, AND 1994
Investment Real Estate acquired through foreclosure during 1994 was sold in
1996 for $4.5 million.
Other Long Term Investments, which consist of limited partnerships, are
valued at the aggregate net equity in the partnerships. Certain investments
in this category were non-income producing at December 31, 1995. These
investments were $.3 million at December 31, 1995. There were no non-income
producing investments at December 31, 1996 and 1994.
Partnership and joint venture interests in which the Company does not have
control and a majority economic interest are reported on the equity basis of
accounting. Non real estate related interests of $4.5 million and $4.1
million are included in other long term investments, at December 31, 1996
and 1995, respectively. The Company's share of net income from such entities
was $1.4 million, $.3 million, and $1.9 million for the years ended December
31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively, and is reported in net investment
income.
Realized investment gains and losses are reported based on specific
identification of the investments sold.
Short-term investments are fixed maturities that mature within one year, and
are reported at estimated fair value.
D. Revenue Recognition and Related Expenses
Universal life contracts are long duration life insurance contracts that
involve significant mortality and morbidity risk with both fixed and
guaranteed terms. Investment contracts are long duration contracts that do
not subject the insurance enterprise to risks arising from policyholder
mortality or morbidity. Amounts received as payments for these contracts are
reported as deposits to policyholders' account balances. Revenues from these
contracts consist primarily of amounts assessed during the period against
policyholders' account balances for mortality charges, policy administration
fees and surrender charges. Policy benefits and claims that are charged to
expenses include benefit claims incurred in the period in excess of related
policyholders' account balances.
Premiums, policy benefits and claims from traditional life and annuity
policies, generally are recognized in operations when due.
E. Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs
Acquisition costs consist of commissions and other costs which vary with and
are primarily related to the production or acquisition of new business.
Acquisition costs related to universal life products and investment-type
contracts are deferred and amortized in proportion to total estimated gross
profits arising principally from investment results, mortality, expense
margins and surrender charges based on historical and anticipated future
experience. Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs was $9.3
million, $54.4 million, and $76.0 million for the years ended December 31,
1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively. Deferred policy acquisition costs are
analyzed to determine if they are recoverable from future income, including
investment income. If such costs are determined to be unrecoverable, they
are expensed at the time of determination. The effect on the deferred policy
acquisition asset that would result from realization of unrealized
investment gains (losses) is recognized with an offset to unrealized
investment gains (losses) in consolidated stockholder's equity.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
PRUCO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995, AND 1994
F. Future Policy Benefits and Policyholders' Account Balances
Benefit reserve liabilities for payout annuities such as matured deferred
annuities and supplementary contracts represent the present values of
estimated future benefits payments and related expenses. Present values for
these contracts are computed using interest rates ranging from 6.5% to 11%.
The mortality assumption for these contracts is the 83 IAM tables. Reserves
for supplementary benefits are stated at interest rates that vary from 4% to
6.5% using mortality and morbidity assumptions either from company
experience or various actuarial tables.
When liabilities for future policy benefits plus the present value of
expected future gross deposits are insufficient to provide expected future
policy benefits and expenses, unrecoverable deferred policy acquisition
costs are written off and thereafter, if required, a premium deficiency
reserve is established as a charge to income.
Policyholders' account balances for universal life and investment-type
contracts are equal to the policy account values. The policy account values
represent an accumulation of gross deposits plus interest credited less
expense and mortality charges and withdrawals.
Interest crediting rates on life insurance products range from 3.35% to 7%.
G. Separate Accounts
Separate Accounts represent funds for which investment income and investment
gains and losses accrue directly to, and investment risk is borne by, the
policyholders, with the exception of the Pruco Life Modified Guaranteed
Annuity Account. The Pruco Life Modified Guaranteed Annuity Account is a
non-unitized separate account, which funds the Modified Guaranteed Annuity
Contract and the Market Value Adjustment Annuity Contract. Owners of the
Pruco Life Modified Guaranteed Annuity and the Market Value Adjustment
Annuity Contracts do not participate in the investment gain or loss from
assets relating to such accounts. Such gain or loss is borne, in total, by
the Company.
All Separate Account assets are carried at market value. Deposits to all
Separate Accounts are reported as increases in Separate Account liabilities,
which equal the Separate Account policy account fund values. Charges
assessed against Policyholders' account balances for mortality, policy
administration and surrender charges are included in policy charges and fee
income. Mortality and expense risk charges are applied against the
Policyholders' account balance. The Separate Account assets are legally
segregated and are not subject to claims that arise out of any other
business of the Company.
H. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

5. Fair Value Information
The fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available
information and reasonable valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is
applied, as necessary, in interpreting data to develop the estimates of fair
value. Accordingly, the estimates presented may not be realized in a current
market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation
methodologies could have a material effect on the estimated fair values.
The following methods and assumptions were used in calculating the fair values.
Fixed Maturities - Fair values for fixed maturities, other than private
placement securities, are based on quoted market prices or estimates from
independent pricing services. Fair values for private placement securities are
estimated using a discounted cash flow model which considers the current market
spreads between the U.S. Treasury yield curve and corporate bond yield curve
adjusted for the type of issue, its current quality and its remaining average
life.
Equity Securities - Fair value is based on quoted market prices.
Mortgage Loans - The fair value of the mortgage loan portfolio is primarily
based upon the present value of the scheduled cash flows discounted at the
appropriate U.S. Treasury rate, adjusted for the current market spread for a
similar quality mortgage.
Policy Loans - The estimated fair value is calculated using a discounted cash
flow model based upon current U.S. Treasury rates and historical loan
repayments.
Policyholders' Account Balances - Fair values for policyholders' account
balances are equal to the policy account values.
Short-term Investments - Fair values for short-term investments are based on
quoted market prices or estimates from independent pricing services.
The following table discloses the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of
the Company's financial instruments at December 31, 1996 and 1995:

6. Income Taxes
The Company is a member of a group of affiliated companies which join in filing
a consolidated federal income tax return in addition to separate company state
and local tax returns. The Internal Revenue Code limits the amount of nonlife
insurance losses that may offset life insurance company taxable income.
Companies operating outside the United States are taxed under applicable foreign
statutes.
Pursuant to the tax allocation arrangement, total federal income tax expense is
determined on a separate company basis. Members with losses record tax benefits
to the extent such losses are recognized in the consolidated federal tax
provision. The Company has a net receivable from Prudential of $7.2 million and
$6.4 million as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Deferred income taxes are generally recognized when assets and liabilities have
different values for financial statement and tax reporting purposes.
The components of income taxes are as follows:

The New York State Insurance Department ("Department") recognizes only
statutory accounting for determining and reporting the financial condition
and results of operations of an insurance company, for determining its
solvency under the New York Insurance Law, and for determining whether its
financial condition warrants the payment of a dividend to its stockholders.
No consideration is given by the Department to financial statements prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in making such
determinations.

8. Related Party Transactions
A. Service Agreements
The Company, Prudential, and Pruco Securities Corporation, an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, operate under service and lease
agreements whereby services of officers and employees, supplies, use of
equipment and office space are provided. The net cost of these services
allocated to the Company were $102 million, $98 million and $78 million for
the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively.
B. Pension Plans
The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential which sponsors
several defined benefit pension plans that cover substantially all of its
employees. Benefits are generally based on career average earnings and
credited length of service. Prudential's funding policy is to contribute
annually the amount necessary to satisfy the Internal Revenue Service
contribution guidelines.
No pension expense for contributions to the plan was allocated to the
Company in 1996, 1995, or 1994 because the plan was subject to the full
funding limitation under the Internal Revenue Code.
C. Postretirement Life and Health Benefits
Prudential also sponsors certain life insurance and health care benefits for
its retired employees. Substantially all employees may become eligible to
receive a benefit if they retire after age 55 with at least 10 years of
service. Prudential elected to amortize its obligation over twenty years. A
provision for contributions to the postretirement fund is included in the
net cost of services allocated to the Company discussed above for the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994.
D. Reinsurance
The Company currently has three reinsurance agreements in place with
Prudential (the reinsurer). Specifically: reinsurance Group Annuity
Contract, whereby the reinsurer, in consideration for a single premium
payment by the Company, provides reinsurance equal to 100% of all payments
due under the contract, and two yearly renewable term agreements in which
the Company may offer and the reinsurer may accept reinsurance on any life
in excess of the Company's maximum limit of retention. The Company is not
relieved of its primary obligation to the policyholder as a result of these
reinsurance transactions. These agreements had no material effect on net
income for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994.
9. Contingencies
Several actions have been brought against the Company on behalf of those
persons who purchased life insurance policies based on complaints about
sales practices engaged in by Prudential, the Company and agents appointed
by Prudential and the Company. Prudential has agreed to indemnify the
Company for any and all losses resulting from such litigation.
10. Dividends
The Company is subject to Arizona law which limits the amount of dividends
that insurance companies can pay to stockholders. The maximum dividend which
may be paid in any twelve month period without notification or approval is
limited to the lesser of 10% of surplus as of December 31 of the preceding
year or the net gain from operations of the preceding calendar year. Cash
dividends may only be paid out of surplus derived from realized net profits.
Based on these limitations and the Company's surplus position at December
31, 1996, the Company would be permitted a maximum of $48 million in
dividend distribution in 1997, all of which could be paid in cash, without
approval from The State of Arizona Department of Insurance.

UNDERTAKING TO FILE REPORTS
Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, the undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission such supplementary and periodic information,
documents, and reports as may be prescribed by any rule or regulation of the
Commission heretofore or hereafter duly adopted pursuant to authority conferred
in that section.
REPRESENTATION WITH RESPECT TO CHARGES
Pruco Life Insurance Company represents that the fees and charges deducted under
the variable Appreciable Life insurance contracts registered by this
registration statement, in the aggregate, are reasonable in relation to the
services rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred, and the risks assumed
by Pruco Life Insurance Company.
UNDERTAKING WITH RESPECT TO INDEMNIFICATION
Prudential Directors' and Officers' Liability and Corporation Reimbursement
Insurance program, purchased by Prudential from Aetna Casualty & Surety Company,
CNA Insurance Companies, Lloyds of London, Great American Insurance Company,
Reliance Insurance Company, Corporate Officers & Directors Assurance Ltd.,
A.C.E. Insurance Company, Ltd., XL Insurance Company, Ltd., and Zurich-American
Insurance Company, provides reimbursement for "Loss" (as defined in the
policies) which the Company pays as indemnification to its directors or officers
resulting from any claim for any actual or alleged act, error, misstatement,
misleading statement, omission, or breach of duty by persons in the discharge of
their duties in their capacities as directors or officers of Prudential, any of
its subsidiaries, or certain investment companies affiliated with Prudential.
Coverage is also provided to the individual directors or officers for such Loss,
for which they shall not be indemnified. Loss essentially is the legal liability
on claims against a director or officer, including adjudicated damages,
settlements and reasonable and necessary legal fees and expenses incurred in
defense of adjudicatory proceedings and appeals therefrom. Loss does not include
punitive or exemplary damages or the multiplied portion of any multiplied damage
award, criminal or civil fines or penalties imposed by law, taxes or wages, or
matters which are uninsurable under the law pursuant to which the policies are
construed.
There are a number of exclusions from coverage. Among the matters excluded are
Losses arising as the result of (1) claims brought about or contributed to by
the criminal, dishonest or fraudulent acts or omissions or the willful violation
of any law by a director or officer, (2) claims based on or attributable to
directors or officers gaining personal profit or advantage to which they were
not legally entitled, and (3) claims arising from actual or alleged performance
of, or failure to perform, services as, or in any capacity similar to, an
investment adviser, investment banker, underwriter, broker or dealer, as those
terms are defined in the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Investment Company Act of 1940,
any rules or regulations thereunder, or any similar federal, state or local
statute, rule or regulation.
The limit of coverage under the program for both individual and corporate
reimbursement coverage is $150,000,000. The retention for corporate
reimbursement coverage is $10,000,000 per loss.
The relevant provisions of New Jersey law permitting or requiring
indemnification, New Jersey being the state of organization of Prudential, can
be found in Section 14A:3-5 of the New Jersey Statutes Annotated. The relevant
provisions of Arizona law, Arizona being the state of organization of Pruco
Life, can be found in Section 10-005 of the Arizona Statutes Annotated. The text
of Prudential's by-law 26, which relates to indemnification of officers and
directors, is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 1.A.(6)(b) of Post-Effective
Amendment No. 1 to Form S-6, Registration No. 33-61079, filed April 25, 1996, on
behalf of The Prudential Variable Appreciable Account. The text of Pruco Life's
by-laws, Article VIII, which relates to indemnification of officers and
directors, is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 1.A.(6)(b) to this
Registration Statement.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

The cash value may increase or decrease daily depending on the payment of
premiums, the investment experience of the separate account and the level of
mortality charges made. There is no guaranteed minimum.
We specify a schedule of premiums. Additional unscheduled premiums may be paid
at your option subject to the limitations in the contract.
Please read this contract with care. A guide to its contents is on the last

CONTRACT SUMMARY
We offer this summary to help you understand this contract. We do not intend
that it change any of the provisions of the contract.
This is a contract of life insurance. Premiums are to be paid throughout the
Insured's lifetime. We specify a schedule of premiums that will keep the
contract in force. Additional premiums may be paid at your option, subject to
limits in the contract. The cash value will vary with the payment of premiums,
the investment performance of those subaccounts of the Pruco Life Variable
Appreciable Account that you select, and the extent to which mortality charges
are less than the guaranteed maximums. But the death benefit is guaranteed and,
until the time if any when the contract becomes paid-up, will not vary if the
contract is not in default past its days of grace, and there is no contract
debt. (We describe on page 8 the way the contract can go into default, and on
page 9 how the contract may become paid-up and how the death benefit may vary
above the face amount after that.) If the contract remains in default past its
days of grace, the contract may end or it may stay in force with reduced
benefits. If either occurs, you may be able to reinstate its full benefits. The
guaranteed death benefit is the face amount. On the date, if any, when we
determine that the contract has become fully paid-up, we will recompute the
guaranteed death benefit. It may be higher; it will not be lower. The death
benefit may vary after that, but it will not be less than the recomputed
guaranteed amount if there is no contract debt.
Proceeds is a word we use to mean the amount we would pay if we were to settle
the contract in one sum. To compute the proceeds that may arise from the
Insured's death, we start with a basic amount. We may adjust that amount if
there is a loan or if the contract is in default. The table on page 21 tells
what the basic amount is. The amount depends on how the contract is in force.
The table will refer you to the parts of the contract that tell you how we
adjust the basic amount. If you surrender the contract, the proceeds will be the
net cash value. We describe it under Cash Value Option on pages 13 and 14.
Proceeds often are not taken in one sum. For instance, on surrender, you may be
able to put proceeds under a settlement option to provide retirement income or
for some other purpose. Also, for all or part of the proceeds that arise from
the Insured's death, you may be able to choose a manner of payment for the
beneficiary. If an option has not been chosen, the beneficiary may be able to
choose one. We will pay interest under Option 3 from the date of death on any
proceeds to which no other manner of payment applies. This will be automatic as
we state on page 20. There is no need to ask for it.
You and we may agree on a change in the ownership of this contract. Also, unless
we endorse it to say otherwise, the contract gives you these rights, among
others:
o You may change the beneficiary under it.
o You may borrow on it up to its loan value.
o You may surrender it for its net cash value.
o You may change the allocation of future net premiums among the subaccounts.
o You may transfer amounts among subaccounts.
The contract, as issued, may or may not have extra benefits that we call
Supplementary Benefits. If it does, we list them under Supplementary Benefits on
the Contract Data page(s) and describe them after page 20. The contract may or
may not have other extra benefits. If it does, we add them by rider. Any extra
benefit ends as soon as the contract is in default past its days of grace,
unless the form that describes it states otherwise.

ENDORSEMENTS
(Only we can endorse this contract.)

We, Our, Us and Company.--Pruco Life Insurance Company, an Arizona Corporation.
You and Your.--The owner of the contract.
Insured.--The person named as the Insured on the first page. He or she need not
be the owner.
Example: Suppose we issue a contract on the life of your spouse. You applied for
it and named no one else as owner. Your spouse is the Insured and you are the

SEC.--The Securities and Exchange Commission.
Issue Date.--The contract date.
Monthly Date.--The contract date and the same day as the contract date in each
later month.
Example: If the contract date is March 9, 1986, the Monthly Dates are each March

Contract year.--A year that starts on the contract date or on an anniversary.
Example: If the contract date is March 9, 1986, the first contract year starts
then and ends on March 8, 1987. The second starts on March 9, 1987 and ends on
March 8, 1988, and so on.
Contract Month.--A month that starts on a Monthly Date.
Example: If March 9, 1986 is a Monthly Date, a contract month starts then and
ends on April 8, 1986. The next contract month starts on April 9, 1986 and ends
on May 8, 1986, and so on.
Attained Age.--The Insured's attained age at any time is the issue age plus the
length of time since the contract date. You will find the issue age near the top
of page 3.
The Contract.--This policy and the application, a copy of which is attached,
form the whole contract. We assume that all statements in the application were
made to the best of the knowledge and belief of the person(s) who made them; in
the absence of fraud they are deemed to be representations and not warranties.
We relied on those statements when we issued the contract. We will not use any
statement, unless made in the application, to try to void the contract or to
deny a claim.
Contract Modifications.--Only a Company officer may agree to modify this
contract, and then only in writing.
Non-participating.--This contract will not share in our profits or surplus
earnings. We will pay no dividends on it.
Service Office.--This is the office that will service this contract. Its mailing
address is the one we show on the Contract Data pages, unless we notify you of
another one.
Ownership and Control.--Unless we endorse this contract to say otherwise: (1)
the owner of the contract is the Insured; and (2) while the Insured is living
the owner alone is entitled to (a) any contract benefit and value, and (b) the
exercise of any right and privilege granted by the contract or by us.
Suicide Exclusion.--If the Insured, whether sane or insane, dies by suicide
within two years from the issue date, we will pay no more under this contract
than the sum of the premiums paid.

GENERAL PROVISIONS (Continued)
Misstatement of Age or Sex.--If the Insured's stated age or sex or both are not
correct, we will adjust each benefit and any amount to be paid to reflect the
correct age and sex. Where required, we have given the insurance regulator a
detailed statement of how we will make these changes.
The Schedule of Premiums may show that premiums change or stop on a certain
date. We may have used that date because the Insured would attain a certain age
on that date. If we find that the issue age was wrong, we will correct that
date.
Incontestability.--Except for default, we will not contest this contract after
it has been in force during the Insured's lifetime for two years from the issue
date.
Assignment.--We will not be deemed to know of an assignment unless we receive
it, or a copy of it, at our Service Office. We are not obliged to see that an
assignment is valid or sufficient.
Annual Report.--Each year we will send you a report. It will show: (1) the
current death benefit; (2) the investment amount; (3) the amount of investment
amount in each subaccount; (4) the net cash value; (5) premiums paid and monthly
charges deducted since the last report; and (6) any contract debt and the
interest on the debt for the prior year. The report will also include any other
data that may be currently required where this contract is delivered. No report
will be sent if this contract is being continued under extended term insurance.
You may ask for a similar report at some other time during the year. Or you may
request from time to time a report projecting results under your contract on the
basis of premium payment assumptions and assumed investment results. We have the
right to make a reasonable charge for reports such as these that you ask for,
and to limit the scope and frequency of such reports.
Increase in Face Amount at Age 21 for Contracts Issued at Age 14 or Lower.--If
this contract was issued at age 14 or lower, it shows on page 3 an increase in
face amount at attained age 21, which applies if the contract is not then in
default beyond its days of grace. If so, any references in the contract to face
amount or death benefit which apply at or after attained age 21 will be based
upon the increased face amount, unless otherwise stated.
Death Proceeds.--The table of Basic Amounts on page 21 describes how the
proceeds payable at death will be determined, depending on the status of the
contract at the time of death. In addition to what is shown in that table, a
special situation will apply in those cases where all of these conditions exist:
(a) the contract was issued at an age below 15; (b) death occurs before attained
age 21; (c) the contract is on a premium paying basis and not in default past
its days of grace; (d) the contract fund is not sufficient to make the contract
paid up for the ultimate face amount; (e) the contract fund is greater than the
sum of the net single premium for the initial face amount and the present value,
discounted at a rate we set from time to time but no less than 4% a year, of all
future charges for extra benefits other than those which do not continue after a
contract such as this becomes paid up. (See above and Paid-up Contract, page 9.)
In this case, the Basic Amount will not be as described on page 21 but will be
the total of (1) the initial face amount, plus (2) the amount which results from
dividing the contract fund minus the present value of the future charges for
extra benefits referred to above, minus the net single premium for the initial
face amount, by the net single premium at the then attained age, plus (3) the
amount of any extra benefits.
Payment of Death Claim.--If we settle this contract in one sum as a death claim,
we will usually pay the proceeds within 7 days after we receive at our Service
Office proof of death and any other information we need to pay the claim. But in
the event of death while the contract is either fully paid-up or is in force as
variable reduced paid-up insurance we have the right to defer paying any portion
of the proceeds greater than the minimum guaranteed death benefit if (1) the New
York Stock Exchange is closed; or (2) the SEC requires that trading be
restricted or declares an emergency; or (3) the SEC lets us defer payment to
protect our contract owners.

PREMIUM PAYMENT AND REINSTATEMENT
Payment of Premiums.--Premiums may be paid at our Service Office or to any of
our authorized representatives. If we are asked to do so, we will give a signed
receipt.
Premium payments will in most cases be credited as of the date of receipt, to
both the contract fund and the premium account. (See Contract Fund, page 11, and
Premium Account, page 8.) Premium credits to the contract fund are the invested
premium amounts, (see page 11). Premium credits to the premium account are the
full premiums paid with no deductions. But in the following cases, to the extent
stated, premium payments will be credited as of a date other than the date of
receipt:
1. The first scheduled premium is due on the Contract Date. But if the first
premium payment is received after the Contract Date, the scheduled portion will
be credited to the contract fund and the premium account as of the Contract
Date. And any portion of that first premium payment in excess of the first
scheduled premium will be credited as of the date of receipt. If the first
premium is received before the Contract Date, the entire payment will be
credited as of the Contract Date.
2. If a premium payment is received during the 61 day period after the day when
a scheduled premium was due and had not yet been paid, here is what we will do.
We will determine whether the premium account, (see Premium Account below), just
before receipt of that payment was a negative amount. If not--that is, if the
premium account was zero or higher--the premium payment will be credited as of
the date of receipt. But if the premium account was negative, by no more than
the scheduled premium on the due date, that portion of the premium payment
required to bring the premium account up to zero will be credited to the premium
account as of the due date; any remaining portion of the premium payment will be
credited to the premium account as of the date of receipt. If the premium
account is negative by more than the scheduled premium then due, the premium
payment will be credited as of the date of receipt, except in the situation
described in 3 below.
3. On each Monthly Date we will determine if the contract fund is in default.
(See Default on page 8.) We will notify you on the minimum payment amount needed
to bring the contract out of default. If one or more premium payments are made
during the days of grace after that monthly date, (see Grace period on page 8,)
we will credit to the contract fund and the premium account as of the applicable
Monthly Dates, such parts of the payments as are needed to end the default
status; any remaining part of these premium payments will be credited to the
contract fund and premium account as of the date of receipt.
Scheduled Premiums.--We show the amount and frequency of the scheduled premiums
in the Schedule of Premiums. The first scheduled premium is due on the contract
date. There is no insurance under this contract unless an amount at least equal
to the first scheduled premium is paid.
The scheduled premium shown is the minimum required, at the frequency chosen, to
continue the contract in full force if all scheduled premiums are paid when due,
investment returns are at the rate assumed, we deduct mortality charges at no
less than the maximum rate, and any contract debt does not exceed the cash
value.
If you wish to pay, on a regular basis, higher premiums than the amount of the
scheduled premium, we will bill you for the higher amount you choose.
If scheduled premiums that are due are not paid, or if smaller payments are
made, the contract may then or at some future time go into default. The
conditions under which default will exist are described below:
Unscheduled Premiums.--Except as we state in the next paragraph unscheduled
premiums may be paid at any time during the Insured's lifetime as long as the
contract is not in default beyond its days of grace. We show on page 3 the
minimum premium we will accept. We have the right to limit unscheduled premiums
to a total of $10,000 in any contract year.
If we determine at any time that investment returns above the rate assumed, or
smaller than maximum mortality charges or greater than scheduled premium
payments have made the contract paid-up, we have the right to accept no further
premium payments, or to limit the amount or frequency of premium payments
thereafter. (See Paid-up Contract, page 9.)
Premium Change on Contract Change Date.--We show the Contract Change Date in the
Contract Data on page 3. We also show in the Schedule of Premiums on page 3 that
the amount of each scheduled premium will change on the Contract Change Date and
what the new premium will be. However, when the Contract Change Date arrives we
will recompute a new premium amount to be used in calculating the premium
account. The new premium that we recompute will be no greater than the new
premium for that date which we show on page 3. In addition, if the premium
account is less than zero, we will set the premium account to zero.
(Continued on Next Page)
Page 7 (VALA--84)
II-38
<PAGE>
PREMIUM PAYMENT AND REINSTATEMENT (Continued)
The Schedule of Premiums may also show that the premium changes at other times.
This may occur, for example, with a contract issued with extra benefits or in an
extra rating class if, in either case, this calls for a higher or extra premium
for a limited period of time.
Default.--Unless the contract is already in the grace period, (see below), on
each monthly date, after we deduct any charges from the contract fund (which we
describe on page 11) and add any credits to it, we will determine whether the
contract is in default. To do so we will compute the amount which will accrue to
the tabular contract fund on the next monthly date if, during the current
contract month; (1) investment returns are at the assumed rate; and (2) we make
the other charges and credit we have set, including interest on contract debt;
and (3) we receive no premiums or loan repayments and make no more loans or
grant no partial withdrawals. We will subtract this amount from the contract
fund. If the result is zero or more, (that is, not a negative amount,) the
contract is not in default. But if there is a fund deficit--that is, if the
result is less than zero--the contract is in default if the premium account,
which we define below, is also less than zero.
Grace Period.--We grant 61 days of grace from any monthly date (other than the
contract date) on which the contract goes into default. During the days of grace
we will continue to accept premiums and make the charges we have set. If the
monthly date was a scheduled premium due date, when we receive a premium payment
during the days of grace we will first determine whether it satisfies case 2
under Payment of Premiums above. If it does, the default will end. If it does
not, or if the monthly date when the contract went into default was not a
scheduled premium due date, here is what we will do:
If at any time during the days of grace, we have received payments that in total
are at least equal to the lesser of (a) the sum of the fund deficit, (that is,
the amount by which the contract fund is below the tabular contract fund,) on
the date of default and any subsequent Monthly Date, and (b) the sum of the
amount by which the premium account is negative on the date of default and any
scheduled premiums due since the date of default, the default will end.
If the contract is still in default when the days of grace are over, it will end
and have no value, except as we state under Contract Value Options, (which we
describe on page 13).
Premium Account.--On the contract date, the premium account is equal to the
premium received on that date minus the scheduled premium then due. On any other
day, the premium account is equal to:
1. what it was on the prior day; plus
2. if the premium account was greater than zero on the prior day, interest on
the excess at 4% year; minus
3. if the premium account was less than zero on the prior day, interest on the
deficit at 4% a year; plus
4. any premium received on that day; minus
5. any scheduled premium due on that day; minus
6. any partial withdrawals on that day.
The contract might be in default, as described above. If so, the premium account
is a negative amount, less than zero. If a premium payment is received on any
day during the days of grace while the contract is in default and the premium
account is negative by no more than one scheduled premium, that payment, to the
extent that it is required to bring the premium account up to zero, will, as we
describe under Payment of Premiums above, be credited to the premium account as
of the monthly date when the scheduled premium was due, whether the date of
default or a subsequent monthly date. Any remaining portion of the premium
payment will be credited as of the actual date of receipt. In this case the
premium account for all days from the monthly date to the actual date of receipt
will be recalculated.
Reinstatement.--If this contract ends as we describe under Grace Period, you may
reinstate it, if all these conditions are met:
1. No more than three years must have elapsed since the date of default.
2. You must not have surrendered the contract for its net cash value.
3. You must give us any facts we need to satisfy us that the insured is
insurable for the contract.
4. We must be paid a premium at least equal to the amount required to bring the
premium account up to zero on the first monthly date on which a scheduled
premium is due after the date of reinstatement. From this amount we will deduct
$2, plus 7 1/2% of the remaining payment, plus any charges with interest for any
extra benefits, plus any other expense charges with interest. The contract fund
will be equal to the balance, plus the cash value of the contract immediately
before reinstatement, plus a refund of that part of any surrender charge paid at
the time of default which would be charges if the contract were surrendered
immediately after reinstatement.
5. If before reinstatement the contract is in force as reduced paid-up insurance
(see page 13) any contract debt under reduced paid-up insurance must be repaid
with interest or carried over to the reinstated contract.
If we approve the reinstatement, these statements apply. The date of
reinstatement will be the date of your request or the date the required premium
is paid, if later. And we will start to make daily and monthly charges and
credits again as of the date of reinstatement.

BENEFICIARY
You may designate or change a beneficiary. Your request must be in writing and
in a form that meets our needs. It will take effect only when we file it at our
Service Office; this will be after you send the contract to us to be endorsed,
if we ask you to do so. Then any previous beneficiary's interest will end as of
the date of the request. It will end then even if the Insured is not living when
we file the request. Any beneficiary's interest is subject to the rights of any
assignee of whom we know.
When a beneficiary is designated, any relationship shown is to the Insured,
unless otherwise stated. To show priority, we may use numbered classes, so that
the class with first priority is called class 1, the class with next priority is
called class 2, and so on. When we use numbered classes, these statements apply
to beneficiaries unless the form states otherwise:
1. One who survives the Insured will have the right to be paid only if no one in
a prior class survives the Insured.
2. One who has the right to be paid will be the only one paid if no one else in
the same class survives the Insured.
3. Two or more in the same class who have the right to be paid will be paid in
equal shares.
4. If none survives the Insured, we will pay in one sum to the Insured's estate.
Example: Suppose the class 1 beneficiary is Jane and the class 2 beneficiaries
are Paul and John. We owe Jane the proceeds if she is living at the Insured's
death. We owe Paul and John the proceeds if they are living then but Jane is
not. But if only one of them is living, we owe him the proceeds. If none of them
is living we owe the Insured's estate.
Beneficiaries who do not have a right to be paid under these terms may still
have a right to be paid under the Automatic Mode of Settlement.
Before we make a payment, we have the right to decide what proof we need of the
identity, age or any other facts about any persons designated as beneficiaries.
If beneficiaries are not designated by name and we make payment(s) based on that
proof, we will not have to make the payment(s) again.
PAID-UP CONTRACT
This contract will become fully paid-up if and when whichever of the following
situations is applicable occurs:
(a) For a contract issued at an age lower than 15, the contract fund has grown
to an amount at least equal to the net single premium for the ultimate face
amount (see page 3 and 7,) plus the present value, discounted at a rate we set
from time to time but no less than 4% a year, of all future charges for any
extra benefits which will continue under the paid-up contract.
(b) For a contract issued at age 15 or above, the contract fund has grown to an
amount at least equal to the net single premium for the face amount, (see page 3
and 7,) plus the present value, discounted at a rate we set from time to time
but no less than 4% a year, of all future charges for any extra benefits which
will continue under the paid-up contract.
We will notify you when we determine that the contract has become fully paid-up.
We have the right at that time to return any part of any payment then being made
which is in excess of the amount billed or required to make the contract
paid-up. And we have the right to accept no further premium payments, or to
limit the amount or frequency of premium payments thereafter. The contract will
continue as paid-up life insurance on the Insured's life.
The death benefit under the paid-up contract may change daily, as we explain
below, but if there is no contract debt, it will not be less than the minimum
guaranteed death benefit determined on the day the contract becomes paid-up.
That amount will be no less than the face amount shown on page 3, (or, if the
contract was issued below age 15, the ultimate face amount.) It will be computed
by using the contract fund on that day, less the present value of all future
charges for any extra benefits, (computed as described above,) at the net single
premium rate. The net single premium rate depends on the Insured's issue age and
sex and on the length of time since the contract date. The amount payable in
event of death thereafter will be the guaranteed death benefit, or if greater,
the contract fund, divided by the net single premium at the Insured's attained
age on the date of death. In either case the amount will be adjusted for any
contract debt and for the amount of any paid-up extra benefits.
The monthly charge described on page 12 and shown on page 3A, and any charges
for extra benefits will not be made after the contract becomes paid-up.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT
The Account.--The word account, where we use it in this contract without
qualification, means the Pruco Life Variable Appreciable Account. This is a unit
investment trust registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of
1940. It is also subject to the laws of Arizona. We own the assets of the
account; we keep them separate from the assets of our general investment
account. We established the account to support variable life insurance
contracts. But we do not use it to support this contract if the contract is
being continued under extended term insurance. (See page 13.)
Subaccounts.--The account has several subaccounts. We list them on the Contract
Data page(s). You determine, using percentages, how invested premium amounts
will be allocated among the subaccounts. You may choose to allocate nothing to a
particular subaccount. But any allocation you make must be at least 10%; you may
not choose a fractional percent.
Example: You may choose a percentage of 0, or 100, or 10, 11, 12, and so on, up
to 90. But you may not choose a percentage of 1 through 9, or 91 through 99, or
any percent that is not a whole number. The total for all subaccounts must be
100%.
The allocation of invested premium amounts (see page 11,) that took effect on
the contract date is shown in the Contract Data pages. You may change the
allocation for future invested premium amounts at any time if the contract is
not in default. To do so, you must notify us in writing in a form that meets our
needs. The change will take effect on the date we receive your notice at our
Service Office.
A premium might be paid when the investment amount is less than zero. In that
case, when we receive that premium, we first use as much of the invested premium
amount as we need to eliminate the deficit in the investment amount. We will
then allocate any remainder of the invested premium amount in accord with your
most recent request. (We describe investment amount on page 11.)
The Fund.--The word fund, where we use it in this contract without
qualification, means the fund we identify in the Contract Data pages. The fund
is registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an
open-end diversified management investment company. The fund has several
portfolios; there is a portfolio that corresponds to each of the subaccounts of
the account. We list these portfolios in the Contract Data pages.
Account Investments.--We use the assets of the account to buy shares in the
fund. Each subaccount is invested in a corresponding specific portfolio. Income
and realized and unrealized gains and losses from assets in each subaccount are
credited to, or charged against, the subaccount. This is without regard to
income, gains, or losses in our other investment accounts.
We will determine the value of the assets in the account at the end of each
business day. When we use the term business day, we mean a day when the New York
Stock Exchange is open for trading. We might need to know the value of an asset
on a day that is not a business day or on which trading in that asset does not
take place. In this case, we will use the value of that asset as of the end of
the last prior business day on which trading took place.
Example: If we need to know the value of an asset on a Sunday, we will normally
use the value of the asset as of the end of business on Friday.
We will always keep assets in the account with a total value at least equal to
the amount of the investment amounts under contracts like this one. To the
extent those assets do not exceed this amount, we use them only to support those
contracts; we do not use those assets to support any other business we conduct.
We may use any excess over this amount in any way we choose.
Change in Investment Policy.--A portfolio of the fund might make a material
change in its investment policy. In that case, we will send you a notice of the
change. Within 60 days after you receive the notice, or within 60 days after the
effective date of the change, if later, you may exchange this contract for a new
contract of fixed benefit insurance on the Insured's life. The conditions for
exchange, and the specifications for the new contract, are described under
Exchange of Contract on page 16.
Change of Fund.--A portfolio might, in our judgment, become unsuitable for
investment by a subaccount. This might happen because of a change in investment
policy, or a change in the laws or regulations, or because the shares are no
longer available for investment, or for some other reason. If that occurs, we
have the right to substitute another portfolio of the fund, or to invest in a
fund other than the one we show on the Contract Data page(s). But we would first
seek approval from the SEC and, where required, the insurance regulator where
this contract is delivered.

INVESTMENT AMOUNT AND RETURN ON INVESTMENT
Investment Amount.--The investment amount for this contract is the amount we use
to compute the investment return. The investment amount is allocated among the
subaccounts. The amount of the investment amount and its allocation to
subaccounts depend on (1) how you choose to allocate net premiums; (2) whether
or not you transfer amounts among subaccounts, as we discuss below; (3) the
investment performance of the subaccounts to which amounts are allocated or
transferred; (4) the amount and timing of premium payments you make; (5) whether
or not you take any loan; and (6) whether or not you make any partial
withdrawals. The investment amount exists only is the contract is not in default
past the days of grace or if it is being continued as variable reduced paid-up
insurance.
The investment amount at any time is equal to the contract fund, (we explain
this under contract fund,) minus the amount of any loan on the contract, minus
interest accrued on the loan at 4% a year since the last Monthly Date (we
explain this under Loans.)
Assumed Rate of Return.--The assumed rate of return is an effective rate of 4% a
year. This is the same as .01074598% a day compounded daily.
Transfers Among Subaccounts.--You may transfer amounts among subaccounts as
often as four times in a contract year, if the contract is not in default or if
the contract is being continued under the variable reduced paid up option. To do
so, you must notify us in writing in a form that meets our needs. The transfer
will take effect on the date we receive your notice at our Service Office.
CONTRACT FUND
Contract Fund Defined.--On the contract date the contract fund is equal to the
invested premium amounts received, (see below), minus any of the charges
described in terms (d) through (j) below which may have been due on that date.
On any day after that the contract fund is equal to what it was on the previous
day, plus any invested premium amounts received, plus these items.
(a) any increase due to investment results in the value of the subaccounts
to which that portion of the contract fund that is in the investment
amount is allocated; (we explain investment amount above); and
(b) guaranteed interest at 4% a year on that portion of the contract fund
that is not in the investment amount;
Minus these items:
(c) any decrease due to investment results in the value of the subaccounts
to which that portion of the contract fund that is in the investment
amount is allocated;
(d) a charge against the investment amount at a rate of not more than
.00163894% a day (.60% a year) for mortality and expense risks that we
assume;
(e) any amount charged against the investment amount for Federal or State
income taxes;
(f) a monthly charge to guarantee the minimum death benefit;
(g) a charge for the cost of expected mortality;
(h) any charges for extra rating class;
(i) any charges for extra benefits;
(j) a monthly administration charges;
(k) any partial withdrawals; and
(l) if the contract becomes paid-up on that day, the present value of any
future charges for any extra benefits that will continue under the
paid-up contract.
We describe under Reinstatement on page 8 what the contract fund will be equal
to on any reinstatement date.
Invested Premium Amount.--This is the portion of each premium paid that we will
add to the contract fund. It is equal to the premium paid, minus $2.00, minus
7 1/2% of the rest of the premium. We explain this under Schedule of Expense
Charges from Premium Payments.
Guaranteed Interest Credits.--We will credit interest to the contract fund each
day on any portion of the contract fund on that day which is not in the
investment amount. That portion will be any contract loan plus interest accrued
on the loan at the rate of 4% a year since the last Monthly Date. (See Loans.)
We will credit .01074598% a day, which is an effective rate of 4% a year.
Cost of Expected Mortality.--This charge is computed daily and deducted monthly
from the contract fund, on each Monthly Date. We apply this charge to the
coverage amount. The coverage amount is equal to what the Basic Amount (see page
21) would be if there were no extra benefits, minus the contract fund. Where
required, we have given the insurance regulator a detailed description of the
method we use.
We will not charge more than the maximum guaranteed rates, which are based on
the Insured's sex and attained age and the mortality table described under the
Basis of Computation. We may charge less. At lease once every five years, but
not more often than once a year, we will consider the need to change the
charges. We will change them only if we do so for all contracts like this one
dated in the same year as this one.
Charge for Extra Rating Class.--If there is an extra charge because of the
rating class of the Insured or because the Insured is a cigarette smoker, we
will deduct
(Continued on Next Page)
Page 11 (VALA--84)
II-42
<PAGE>
CONTRACT FUND (Continued)
it from the contract fund at the beginning of each contract month. Any charge is
included in the amount shown in the Contract Data pages under Schedule of
Monthly Deductions from Contract Fund.
Charge for Extra Benefits.--If the contract has extra benefits, we will deduct
the charges for such benefits from the contract fund at the beginning of each
contract month. Charges for any such extra benefits are included in the amount
shown in the Contract Data pages under Schedule of Monthly Deductions from
Contract Fund.
If and when we determine that the contract has become paid-up, we will deduct
from the contract fund the present value of any future charges for any extra
benefits that will continue under the paid-up contract. We will make no further
deductions for these benefits after that. The description of any such benefit
(which can be found following page 20) describes how the future cash value, if
any, of that benefit will be determined.
Monthly Administration Charge and Mortality Risk Charge.--On each monthly date,
we will deduct up to $2.50, plus up to 2 cents per $1000 of face amount, from
the contract fund, as a monthly administration charge. We will also deduct 1
cent per $1000 of face amount for guaranteeing the death benefit regardless of
the investment performance of the separate account. (Both of these references to
charges based upon face amount are to initial face amount for contracts issued
below age 15. The total charges do not increase when the face amount increases
at attained age 21.) These charges will be made only while the contract is on a
premium paying basis; they will not be made if the contract becomes paid-up or
is continued as variable reduced paid-up or extended term insurance, (see
Contract Value Options). We show the amount of these charges in the Contract
Date pages under Schedule of Monthly Deductions from Contract Fund.
Partial Withdrawals.--You may be able to make partial withdrawals from the
contract. All these conditions must be met.
1. The contract must have passed its first contract anniversary.
2. You must ask for the change in writing and in a form that meets our needs.
3. The amount withdrawn, plus the net cash value after withdrawal, may not be
more than the net cash value before withdrawal.
4. The cash value after withdrawal must not be less than the tabular cash value
for the new face amount.
5. The amount you withdraw must be at least $2,000.
6. The face amount must not decrease below the minimum shown on page 3.
7. You must send the contract to us to be endorsed.
We will add a withdrawal fee of $15 to the amount you ask to withdraw.
We will decrease the face amount by the amount of the withdrawal. We will
compute a new tabular contract fund, a new tabular contract value, and new
minimum premiums based on the reduced face amount. These new minimum premiums
will be used thereafter for the computation of the premium account.
An amount withdrawn may not be repaid, except as an unscheduled premium subject
to charges.
We will tell you how much you may withdraw if you ask us.

CONTRACT VALUE OPTIONS
Benefit After the Grace Period.--If the contract is in default beyond its days
of grace, we will use any net cash value (which we describe under Cash Value
Option) to keep the contract in force as one of two kinds of insurance. One kind
is extended insurance. The second kind is variable reduced paid-up insurance. We
describe each below. You will find under Automatic Benefit which kind it will
be. Any extra benefit(s) will end as soon as the contract is in default past its
days of grace, unless the form that describes the extra benefit states
otherwise.
Extended Insurance.--This will be term insurance of a fixed amount on the
Insured's life. We will pay the amount of term insurance if the Insured dies in
the term we describe below. Before the end of the term there will be cash values
but no loan value.
The amount of term insurance will be the death benefit on the day of default,
minus any part of that death benefit which was provided by extra benefits. The
term is a period of time that will start on the day the contract went into
default. The length of the term will be what is provided when we use the net
cash value at the net single premium rate. This rate depends on the Insured's
issue age and sex and on the length of time since the contract date.
There may be extra days of term insurance. This will occur if, on the day the
contract goes into default, the term of extended insurance provided by the net
cash value does not exceed 90 days, or the number of days the contract was in
force before the default began, if less. The number of extra days will be (1)
90, or the number of days the contract was in force before the default began, if
less, minus (2) the number of days of extended insurance that would be provided
by the net cash value if there were no contract debt. The extra days, if any,
start on the day after the last day of term insurance provided by the net cash
value, if any. If there is no such term insurance, the extra days start on the
day the contract goes into default. The term insurance for the extra days has no
cash value. There will be no extra days if you replace the extended insurance
with variable reduced paid-up insurance or you surrender the contract before the
extra days start.
Variable Reduced Paid-up Insurance.--This will be paid-up variable life
insurance on the Insured's life. The death benefit may change from day to day,
as we explain below, but if there is no contract debt, it will not be less than
a minimum guarantee amount determined as of the day when the contract went into
default. There will be cash values and loan values.
The minimum guaranteed amount of insurance will be computed by using the net
cash value at the net single premium rate. The net single premium rate depends
on the Insured's issue age and sex and on the length of time since the contract
date. The amount payable in event of death thereafter will be the greater of (a)
the minimum guaranteed amount and (b) the contract fund divided by the net
single premium at the Insured's attained age. In either case the amount will be
adjusted for any contract debt.
Except when it is provided as the automatic benefit, (see below), the variable
reduced paid-up insurance option will be available only when the guaranteed
death benefit under the option will be $5000 or more.
Computations.--We will make all computations for either of these benefits as of
the date the contract goes into default. But we will consider any loan you take
out or pay back or any premium payments or partial withdrawals you make in the
days of grace.
Automatic Benefit.--When the contract is in default, it will stay in force as
extended insurance. But it will stay in force as variable reduced paid-up
insurance if either of these statements applies: (1) We issued the contract in a
rating class for which we do not provide extended insurance; in this case the
phrase No Extended Insurance is in the Rating Class on page 3. (2) The amount of
reduced paid-up insurance would be at least as great as the amount of term
insurance.
Optional Benefit.--You may choose to replace any fixed extended insurance that
has a net cash value by variable reduced paid-up insurance. To make this choice,
you must do so in writing to us in a form that meets our needs, not more than
three months after the date the contract goes into default. You must also send
the contract to us to be endorsed.
Cash Value Option.--You may surrender this contract for its net cash value. The
net cash value at any time is the cash value at that time less any contract
debt. To surrender this contract, you must ask us in writing in a form that
meets our needs. You must also send the contract to us. Here is how we will
compute the cash value for surrender of the contract or for its continuation
under extended insurance or variable reduced paid-up insurance:
1. If the contract is not in default: The cash value on surrender at any time in
the first ten contract years is the
(Continued on Next Page.
Page 13 (VALA--84)
II-44
<PAGE>
CONTRACT VALUE OPTIONS (Continued)
contract fund, minus a surrender charge, consisting of a deferred sales charge
and a deferred underwriting and issue charge. The cash value on surrender at the
end of the 10th contract year or later is the contract fund.
A schedule of maximum surrender charges for this contract is on page 3A.
In no event will the deferred sales charge upon surrender be greater than 25% of
scheduled premiums due in contract year 1, plus 5% of the scheduled premiums due
in contract years 2 through 5. For the purpose of computing this limit we use
the lesser of premiums due and premiums paid.
For a paid-up contract that includes extra benefits, the cash value is the
amount described above, plus the cash value, if any, of the extra benefits. (See
the description of any such extra benefits following page 20.)
2. If the contract is in default during the days of grace: We will compute the
net cash value as of the date the contract went into default. But we will adjust
this value for any loan you take out or pay back or any premium payments or
partial withdrawals you make in the days of grace.
3. If the contract is in default beyond its days of grace: The net cash value as
of any date will be the value on that date of any extended insurance benefit
then in force. Or it will be the value on that date of any variable reduced
paid-up insurance benefit then in force, less any contract debt.
Within 30 days of a contract anniversary, the net cash value of any extended
insurance will not be less than the value on that anniversary.
If the contract is not in default past the days of grace, or if the contract is
in force as variable reduced paid up insurance, we will usually pay any cash
value within 7 days after we receive your request and the contract at our
Service Office. But we have the right to defer payment if (1) the New York Stock
Exchange is closed; or (2) the SEC requires that trading be restricted or
declares an emergency; or (3) the SEC lets us defer payments to protect our
contract owners.
If the contract is in force as extended insurance we have the right to postpone
paying a cash value for up to six months. If we do so for more than 30 days, we
will pay interest at the rate of 3% a year.
Tabular Values.--In the table on page 4 we show tabular contract fund and
tabular cash values at the end of the contract years. The tabular contract fund
values are the amount which will then be in the contract fund, (see page 11,) if
all scheduled premiums have been paid on their due dates, there have been no
unscheduled premiums paid, there is no contract debt, the subaccounts you have
chosen earn exactly the assumed rate of return, and we have deducted the maximum
mortality charges. The tabular cash values are the amounts which, under the same
conditions, will then be used to provide extended insurance or variable reduced
paid-up insurance or will be paid in cash, if the maximum surrender charges are
applied. The tabular cash value shown is equal to the tabular contract fund
value as of the same date after deducting any surrender charges (at the maximum
rate) from the tabular contract fund value. (See Cash Value Option above.) Since
surrender charges are not deducted after the end of the 10th contract year, the
tabular cash values are the same as the tabular contract fund values thereafter.
If we need to compute tabular values at some time during a contract year, we
will count the time since the start of the year. We will let you know the
tabular values for other durations if you ask for them.

<PAGE>
LOANS
Loan Requirements.--After the first anniversary, you may borrow from us on the
contract. All these conditions must be met:
1. The Insured is living.
2. The contract is in force other than as extended insurance.
3. The contract debt will not be more than the loan value. (We explain these
terms below.)
4. As sole security for the loan, you assign the contract to us in a form that
meets our needs.
5. Except when used to pay premiums on this contract, the amount you borrow at
any one time must be at least $500.
If there is already contract debt when you borrow from us, we will add the new
amount you borrow to that debt.
Contract Debt.--Contract debt at any time means the loan on the contract, plus
the interest we have charges that is not yet due and that we have not yet added
to the loan.
Loan Value.--You may borrow any amount up to the difference between the loan
value and any existing contract debt. At any time the loan value is 90% of the
net cash value.
There is one exception. If the contract is in default, the loan value during the
days of grace is what it was on the date of default.
Example 1: Suppose the contract has a loan value of $6,000. About eight months
ago you borrowed $1,500. By now there is interest of $55 charged but not yet
due. The contract debt is now $1,555, which is made up of the $1,500 loan and
the $55 interest.
Example 2: Suppose, in example 1, you want to borrow all that you can. We will
lend out $4,445 which is the difference between the $6,000 loan value and the
$1,555 contract debt. This will increase the contract debt to $6,000. We will
add the new amount borrowed to the existing loan and will charge interest on it,
too.
Interest Charge.--We will charge interest daily on any loan at the effective
rate of 5 1/2% a year. Interest is due on each contract anniversary, or when the
loan is paid back if that comes first. If interest is not paid when due, it will
become part of the loan. Then we will start to charge interest on it, too.
Example 3: Suppose the contract date is 1987. Six months before the anniversary
in 1996 you borrow $1,600 out of a $4,000 loan value. We charge 5 1/2% a year.
Three months later, but still three months before the anniversary, we will have
charges about $22 interest. This amount will be a few cents more or less than
$22 since some months have more days than others. The interest will not be due
until the anniversary unless the load is paid back sooner. The loan will still
be $1,600. The contract debt will be $1,622, since contract debt included
interest charged but not yet due.
On the anniversary in 1996 we will have charged about $44 interest. The interest
will then be due.
Example 4: Suppose the $44 interest in example 3 was paid on the anniversary.
The loan and contract debt each became $1,600 right after the payment.
Example 5: Suppose the $44 interest in example 3 was not paid on the
anniversary. The interest became part of the loan, and we began to charge
interest on it, too. The loan and contract debt each became $1,644.
Repayment.--All or part of any contract debt may be paid back at any time while
the Insured is living. When we settle the contract, any contract debt is due us.
If there is contract debt at the end of the last day of grace when the contract
is in default, it will be deducted from the cash value to determine the net cash
value. We will make this adjustment so that the proceeds will not include the
amount of that debt.
Effect of a Loan.--When you take a loan, the amount of the loan continues to be
a part of the contract fund and is credited with interest at the guaranteed rate
of 4% a year. However, we will reduce the investment amount by the amount you
borrow, and by loan interest that becomes part of the loan because it is not
paid when due. On each Monthly Date, if there is a contract loan outstanding, we
will increase the investment amount by interest credits accrued on the loan at
4% a year since the last Monthly Date. When you repay part or all of a loan we
will increase the investment amount by the amount of loan you repay, plus, if
you repay all the loan, interest credits accrued on the loan at 4% a year since
the last Monthly Date. We will not increase the investment amount by loan
interest that is paid before we make it part of the loan.
We will allocate loans and repayments among the subaccounts in proportion to the
investment amount in each subaccount as of the date of the loan or repayment.
Only the amount of the investment amount will reflect the investment results of
the subaccounts. Since the amount you borrow is removed from the investment
amount, a loan may have a permanent effect on the net cash value of this
contract, and also, for a contract which is paid-up or which is in force under
the variable reduced paid-up option, on any death benefit in excess of the
guaranteed death benefit. The longer the loan is outstanding, the greater this
effect is likely to be.

LOANS (Continued)
Example 6: Suppose the contract's investment amount is $15,000 and that $10,000
is in subaccount A and $5,000 is in subaccount B. If you make a $9,000 loan we
will reduce the amount in subaccount A by $6,000 and the amount in subaccount B
by $3,000.
Suppose that sometime later, when the investment amount in each of the two
subaccounts is the same you choose to repay the $9,000 loan. We will add $4,500
to the amount in each subaccount.
Excess Contract Debt.--If contract debt ever becomes equal to or more than the
cash value, all the contract's benefits will end 61 days after we mail a notice
to you and any assignee of whom we know. Also, we may send a notice to the
Insured's last known address. In the notice we will state the amount that, if
paid to us, will keep the contract's benefits from ending for a limited time.
Postponement of Loan.--We will usually make a loan within 7 days after we
receive your request at our Service Office. But we have the right to defer
making the loan if (1) the New York Stock Exchange is closed; or (2) the SEC
requires that trading be restricted or declares an emergency; or (3) the SEC
lets us defer payments to protect our contract owners.
EXCHANGE OF CONTRACT
Right to Exchange.--Before the second anniversary you may exchange this contract
for a new contract of fixed benefit insurance on the Insured's life. You will
not have to prove to us that the Insured is insurable. Also, you may make such
an exchange at any time if there is a material change in the investment policy
of a portfolio (see Change in Investment Policy on page 10). When we use the
term new contract we mean the contract for which this contract may be exchanged.
Conditions.--Your right to make this exchange is subject to all these
conditions: (1) You must ask for the exchange in writing in a form that meets
our needs. (2) You must surrender the contract to us. (3) We must have your
request and the contract at our Service office while the contract is in force
and not in default past its days of grace. (4) You must pay back any contract
debt under this contract, to the extent it may exceed the loan value of the new
contract. (5) You must pay any other charges required for the exchange.
Exchange Date.--The exchange date will be the later of: (1) the date we receive
the contract and our request at our Service Office; and (2) the date we receive
the payment, if any, required for the exchange. The new contract will take
effect on the exchange date only if the Insured is then living. If the new
contract takes effect, this contract will end just before the exchange date.
Contract Specifications.--The new contract will be on the Modified Premium Whole
Life plan. It will have a face amount equal to the face amount of this one. It
will have the same contract date and issue age as this contract and be in the
same rating class.
If, for any reason, we are not issuing the Modified Premium Whole Life Contract
on the exchange dates, then the new contract will be another life plan that we
would regularly issue on that date for the same rating class, amount, issue, age
and sex.
This contract might include an extra benefit which is still in effect just
before the exchange date. And a similar kind of benefit might have been
regularly offered in contracts like the new one on the date the extra benefit
took effect in this contract. In that case, if you ask for it in your request
for the exchange, that similar kind of benefit will be put in the new contract.
When we use the phrase contracts like the new one, we mean contracts that were,
on the contract date of this contract, regularly issued on the same plan as the
new one and for the same rating class, amount, issue age and sex.
The amount of any accidental death benefit included in the new contract in
accord with this provision will be the same as the amount of any accidental
death benefit in this contract.
If a benefit for waiving scheduled premiums is included in the new contract in
accord with this provision, any scheduled premiums to be waived under the new
contract for a disability that began before the exchange date must be at the
billing frequency that applied to this contract when the disability started. But
premiums will not be waived under the new contract unless it has a benefit for
waiving premiums in the event of disability. This will be so even if we have
waived premiums under this contract.
A charge may be made on exchange in the following situation: If, on the date of
exchange, the contract fund of this contract is less than the tabular contract
fund, a charge will be made for the difference in the two amounts. If the
contract fund of this contract is equal to or greater than the tabular contract
fund, no charge will be made. In these cases, the contract fund of the new
contract will be equal to that of this contract.
Exchange at Other Times.--You may be able to exchange this contract for a fixed
benefit Modified Premium Whole Life contract at a time other than those
described under right to Exchange above. But any such exchange may be made only
if we consent, and will be subject to conditions and charges which we then
determine.

SETTLEMENT OPTIONS
Payee Defined.--In these provisions and under the Automatic Mode of Settlement,
the word Payee means a person who has a right to receive a settlement under the
contract. Such a person may be the Insured, the owner, a beneficiary, or a
contingent payee.
Choosing an Option.--While the Insured is living you may choose, or change the
choice of, an option for all or part of the proceeds that may arise from the
Insured's death. The requirements are the same as those to designate or change a
beneficiary. We describe them under Beneficiary.
A payee may choose an option for all or part of any proceeds or residue that
becomes payable to him or her in one sum. We describe residue later on this
page.
In some cases, you or another Payee will need our consent to choose an option.
We describe these cases under conditions.
Options Described.--Here are the options we offer. We may also consent to other
arrangements.
Option 1 (Instalments for a Fixed Period).--We will make equal payments for up
to 25 years based on the Option 1 Table. The payments will include interest at
an effective rate of 3 1/2% a year. We may credit more interest. If and while we
do so, the payments will be larger.
Option 2 (Life Income).--We will make equal monthly payments for as long as the
person on whose life the settlement is based lives, with payments certain for
the period chosen. The choices are either ten years (10-Year Certain) or until
the sum of the payments equals the amount put under this option (Instalment
Refund). The amount of each payment will be based on the Option 2 Table and on
the sex and age, on the due date of the first payment, of the person on whose
life the settlement is based. But if a choice is made more than two years after
the Insured's death, we may use the Option 2 payment rates in individual annuity
contracts or life insurance contracts we regularly issue, based on United States
currency, on the due date of the first payment. On request, we will quote the
payment rates in contracts we then issue. We must have proof of the date of
birth of the person on whose life the settlement is based. If on the due date of
the first payment under this option, we have declared a higher payment rate
under the option, we will base the payments on that higher rate.
Option 3 (Interest Payment).--We will hold an amount at interest. We will pay
interest at an effective rate of at lease 3% a year ($30.00 annually, $14.89
semi-annually, $7.42 quarterly or $2.47 monthly per $1,000). We may pay more
interest.
Option 4 (Instalments of a Fixed Amount).--We will make equal annual,
semi-annual, quarterly or monthly payments if they total at least $90 a year for
each $1,000 put under this option. We will credit the unpaid balance with
interest at an effective rate of at least 3 1/2% a year. We may credit more
interest. If we do so, the balance will be larger. The final payment will be any
balance equal to or less than one payment.
First Payment Due Date.--Unless a different date is stated when the option is
chosen: (1) the first payment for Option 3 will be due at the end of the chosen
payment interval; and (2) the first payment for any of the other options will be
due on the date the option takes effect.
Residue Described.--For Options 1 and 2, residue on any date means the then
present value of any unpaid payments certain. We will compute it at an effective
interest rate of 3 1/2% a year. But we will use the interest rate we used to
compute the actual Option 2 payments if they were not based on the table in this
contract.
For Options 3 and 4, residue on any date means any unpaid balance with interest
to that date.
For option 2, residue does not include the value of any payment that may become
due after the certain period.

SETTLEMENT OPTIONS (Continued)
Withdrawal of Residue.--Unless otherwise stated when the option is chosen: (1)
under Options 1 and 2 the residue may be withdrawn; and (2) under Options 3 and
4 all, or any part not less than $100, of the residue may be withdrawn. If an
Option 3 residue is reduced to less than $1,000, we have the right to pay it in
one sum. Under Option 2, withdrawal of the residue will not affect any payments
that may become due after the certain period; the value of those payments cannot
be withdrawn. Instead, the payments will start again if they were based on the
life of a person who lives past the certain period.
Designating Contingent Payee(s).--A Payee under an option has the right, unless
otherwise stated, to name or change a contingent payee to receive any residue at
that Payee's death. This may be done only if (1) the Payee has the full right to
withdraw the residue; or (2) the residue would otherwise have been payable to
that Payee's estate at death.
A Payee who has this right may choose, or change the choice of, an option for
all or part of the residue. In some cases, the Payee will need our consent to
choose or change an option. We describe these cases under Conditions.
Any request to exercise any of these rights must be in writing and in a form
that meets our needs. It will take effect only when we file it at our Service
Office. Then the interest of anyone who is being removed will end as of the date
of the request, even if the Payee who made the request is not living when we
file it.
Changing Options.--A payee under Option 1, 3 or 4 may choose another option for
any sum that the Payee could withdraw on the date the chosen option is to start.
That date may be before the date the Payee makes the choice only if we consent.
In some cases, the Payee will need our consent to choose or change an option. We
describe these cases next.
Conditions.--Under any of these conditions, our consent is needed for an option
to be used for any person:
1. The person is not a natural person who will be paid in his or her own right.
2. The person will be paid as assignee.
3. The amount to be held for the person under Option 3 is less than $1,000. But
we will hold any amount for at lease one year in accord with the Automatic Mode
of Settlement.
4. Each payment to the person under the option would be less than $20.
5. The option is for residue arising other than at (a) the Insured's death, or
(b) the death of the beneficiary who was entitled to be paid as of the date of
the Insured's death.
6. The option is for proceeds that arise other than from the Insured's death,
and we are settling with an owner or any other person who is not the Insured.
Death of Payee.--If a Payee under an option dies and if no other distribution is
shown, we will pay any residue under that option in one sum to the Payee's
estate.

II-51
<PAGE>
AUTOMATIC MODE OF SETTLEMENT
Applicability.--These provisions apply to proceeds arising from the Insured's
death and payable in one sum to a Payee who is a beneficiary. They do not apply
to any periodic payment.
Interest on Proceeds.--We will hold the proceeds at interest under Option 3 of
the Settlement Options provision. The Payee may withdraw the residue. We will
pay it promptly on request. We will pay interest annually unless we agree to pay
it more often. We have the right to pay the residue in one sum after one year if
(1) the Payee is not a natural person who will be paid in his or her own right;
(2) the Payee will be paid as assignee; or (3) the original amount we hold under
Option 3 for the Payee is less than $1,000.
Settlement at Payee's Death.--If the Payee dies and leaves an option 3 residue,
we will honor any contingent payee provision then in effect. If there is none,
here is what we will do. We will look to the beneficiary designation of the
contract; we will see what other beneficiary(ies), if any, would have been
entitled to the portion of the proceeds that produced the Option 3 residue if
the Insured had not died until immediately after the Payee died. Then we will
pay the residue in one sum to such other beneficiary(ies), in accord with that
designation. But if, as stated in that designation, payment would be due the
estate of someone else, we will instead pay the estate of the Payee.
Example: Suppose the class 1 beneficiary is Jane and the class 2 beneficiaries
are Paul and John. Jane was living when the Insured died. Jane later died
without having chosen an option or naming someone other than Paul and John as
contingent payee. If Paul and John are living at Jane's death we own them the
residue. If only one of them is living then, and if the contract called for
payment to the survivor of them, we owe him the residue. If neither of them is
living then, we owe Jane's estate.
Spendthrift and Creditor.--A beneficiary or contingent payee may not, at or
after the Insured's death, assign, transfer, or encumber any benefit payable. To
the extent allowed by law, the benefits will not be subject to the claims of any
creditor of any beneficiary or contingent payee.

BASIS OF COMPUTATION
Mortality Tables Described.--Except as we state in the next paragraph, (1) we
base all net premium and net values to which we refer in this contract on the
Insured's issue age and sex and on the length of time since the contract date;
(2) we use the Commissioners 1980 Standard Ordinary Mortality Table; and (3) we
use continuous functions based on age last birthday.
For extended insurance, we base net premiums and net values on the Commissioners
1980 Extended Term Insurance Table.
Interest Rate.--For all net premium and net values to which we refer in this
contract we use an effective rate of 4% a year.
Exclusions.--When we compute net values we exclude the value of any
Supplementary Benefits and any other extra benefits added by rider to this
contract.
Values After 20 Contract Years.--Tabular values after the 20th contract year
will be the net level premium reserves, taking into account the increase in
scheduled premium amount on the Contract Change Date. To compute them, we will
use the mortality tables and interest rate we describe above. There will be the
same exclusions.
Minimum Legal Values.--The cash, loan and other values in this contract are at
least as large as those set by law where it is delivered. Where required, we
have given the insurance regulator a detailed statement of how we compute values
and benefits.

CONTRACT SUMMARY
We offer this summary to help you understand this contract. We do not intend
that it change any of the provisions of the contract.
This is a contract of life insurance. Premiums are to be paid throughout the
Insured's lifetime. We specify a schedule of premiums that will keep the
contract in force. Additional premiums may be paid at your option, subject to
limits in the contract. The death benefit and the cash value will vary with the
payment of premiums, the investment performance of those subaccounts of the
Pruco Life Variable Appreciable Account that you select, and the extent to which
mortality charges are less than the guaranteed maximums. But the death benefit
is guaranteed never to be less than the face amount if the contract is not in
default past its days of grace, and there is no contract debt. (We describe on
page 8 the way the contract can go into default.) If the contract remains in
default past its days of grace, the contract may end or it may stay in force
with reduced benefits. If either occurs, you may be able to reinstate its full
benefits. On the date, if any, when we determine that the contract has become
fully paid-up, we will recompute the guaranteed death benefit. It may be higher,
it will not be lower. We describe on page 9 how the contract may become paid-up.
Proceeds is a word we use to mean the amount we would pay if we were to settle
the contract in one sum. to compute the proceeds that may arise from the
Insured's death, we start with a basic amount. We may adjust that amount if
there is a loan or if the contract is in default. The table on page 21 tells
what the basic amount is. The amount depends on how the contract is in force.
The table will refer you to the parts of the contract that tell you how we
adjust the basic amount. If you surrender the contract, the proceeds will be the
net cash value. We describe it under Cash Value Option on pages 13 and 14.
Proceeds often are not taken in one sum. For instance, on surrender, you may be
able to put proceeds under a settlement option to provide retirement income or
for some other purpose. Also, for all or part of the proceeds that arise from
the Insured's death, you may be able to choose a manner of payment for the
beneficiary. If an option has not been chosen, the beneficiary may be ale to
choose one. We will pay interest under Option 3 from the date of death on any
proceeds to which no other manner of payment applies. This will be automatic as
we state on page 20. There is no need to ask for it.
You and we may agree on a change in the ownership of this contract. Also, unless
we endorse it to say otherwise, the contract gives you these rights, among
others:
o You may change the beneficiary under it.
o You may borrow on it up to its loan value.
o You may surrender it for its net cash value.
o You may change the allocation of future net premiums among the subaccounts.
o You may transfer amounts among subaccounts.
The contract, as issued, may or may not have extra benefits that we call
Supplementary Benefits. If it does, we list them under Supplementary Benefits on
the Contract Data page(s) and describe them after page 21. The contract may or
may not have other extra benefits. If it does, we add them by rider. Any extra
benefit ends as soon as the contract is in default past its days of grace,
unless the form that describes it states otherwise.

GENERAL PROVISIONS (Continued)
Misstatement of Age or Sex.--If the Insured's stated age or sex or both are not
correct, we will adjust each benefit and any amount to be paid to reflect the
correct age and sex. Where required, we have given the insurance regulator a
detailed statement of how we will make these changes.
The Schedule of Premiums may show that scheduled premiums change or stop on a
certain date. We may have used that date because the Insured would attain a
certain age on that date. If we find that the issue age was wrongs, we will
correct that date.
Incontestability.--Except for default, we will not contest this contract after
it has been in force during the Insured's lifetime for two years from the issue
date.
Assignment.--We will not be deemed to know of an assignment unless we receive
it, or a copy of it, at our Service Office. We are not obliged to see that an
assignment is valid or sufficient.
Annual Report.--Each year we will send you a report. It will show: (1) the
current death benefit; (2) the investment amount; (3) the amount of investment
amount in each subaccount; (4) the net cash value; (5) premiums paid and monthly
charges deducted since the last report; (6) any partial withdrawals since the
last report; and (7) any contract debt and the interest on the debt for the
prior year. The report will also include any other data that may be currently
required where this contract is delivered. No report will be sent if this
contract is being continued under extended term insurance.
You may ask for a similar report at some other time during the year. Or you may
request from time to time a report projecting results under your contract on the
basis of premium payment assumptions and assumed investment results. We have the
right to make a reasonable charge for reports such as these that you ask for,
and to limit the scope and frequency of such reports.
Increase in Face Amount at Age 21 for Contracts Issued at Age 14 or Lower.--If
this contract was issued at age 14 or lower, it shows on page 3 an increase in
face amount at attained age 21, which applies if the contract is not then in
default beyond its days of grace. If so, any references in the contract to face
amount or death benefit which apply at or after attained age 21 will be based
upon the increased face amount, unless otherwise stated.
Death Proceeds.--The Table of Basic Amounts on page 21 describes how the
proceeds payable at death will be determined, depending on the status of the
contract at the time of death. In addition to what is shown in that table, a
special situation will apply in those cases where all of these conditions exist:
(a) the contract was issued at an age below 15; (b) death occurs before attained
age 21; (c) the contract is on a premium paying basis and not in default past
its days of grace; (d) the contract fund is not sufficient to make the contract
paid up for the ultimate face amount plus the excess of the contract fund over
the tabular contract fund; (e) the contract fund is greater than the sum of (I)
the net single premium for the initial face amount, (ii) the net single premium
for the excess of the contract fund over the tabular contract fund, and (iii)
the present value, discounted at a rate we set from time to time but no less
than 4% a year, of all future charges for extra benefits other than those which
do not continue after a contract such as this becomes paid up. (See above and
paid-up Contract, page 9.)
In these cases, the Basic mount will not be as described on page 21 but will be
the total of (1) the initial face amount, plus (2) the excess of the contract
fund over the tabular contract fund, plus (3) the amount which results from
dividing the contract fund, minus the present value of the future charges for
extra benefits referred to above, minus the net single premium for the sum of
the initial face amount and the excess of the contract fund over the tabular
contract fund, by the net single premium at the then attained age, plus (4) the
amount of any extra benefits.
Payment of Death Claim.--If we settle this contract in one sum as a death claim,
we will usually pay the proceeds within 7 days after we receive at our Service
Office proof of death and any other information we need to pay the claim. But we
have the right to defer paying any portion of the proceeds greater than the
minimum guaranteed death benefit if (1) the New York Stock Exchange is closed;
or (2) the SEC requires that trading be restricted or declares an emergency; or
(3) the SEC lets us defer payment to protect our contract owners.

PREMIUM PAYMENT AND REINSTATEMENT
Payment of Premiums.--Premiums may be paid at our Service Office or to any of
our authorized representatives. If we are asked to do so, we will give a signed
receipt.
Premium payments will in most cases be credited as of the date of receipt, to
both the contract fund and the premium account. (See Contract Fund, page 11 and
Premium Account, page 8.) Premium credits to the contract fund are the invested
premium amounts, (see page 11). Premium credits to the premium account are the
full premium paid with n deductions. But in the following cases, to the extent
states premium payments will be credited as of a date other than the date of
receipt:
1. The first scheduled premium is due on the Contract Date. But if the first
premium payment is received after the Contract Date, the scheduled portion will
be credited to the contract fund and the premium account as of the Contract
Date. And any portion of that first premium payment in excess of the first
scheduled premium will be credited as of the date of receipt. If the first
premium is received before the Contract Date, the entire payment will be
credited as of the Contract Date.
2. If a premium payment is received during the 61 day period after the day when
a scheduled premium was due and had not yet been paid, here is what we will do.
We will determine whether the premium account, (see Premium Account below), just
before receipt of that payment was a negative amount. If not--that is, if the
premium account was zero or higher--the premium payment will be credited as of
the date of receipt. But if the premium account was negative by no more than the
scheduled premium on the due date, that portion of the premium payment required
to bring the premium account up to zero will be credited to the premium account
as of the due date; any remaining portion of the premium payment will be
credited to the premium account as of the date of receipt. If the premium
account is negative by more than the scheduled premium than due, the premium
payment will be credited as of the date of receipt, except in the situation
described in 3 below.
3. On each Monthly Date we will determine if the contract fund is in default.
(See Default on page 8.) We will notify you on the minimum payment amount needed
to bring the contract out of default. If one or more premium payments are made
during the days of grace after that monthly date, (see Grace period on page 8,)
we will credit to the contract fund and the premium account, as of the
applicable Monthly Dates, such parts of the payments as are needed to end the
default status; any remaining part of those premium payments will be credited to
the contract fund and premium account as of the date of receipt.
Scheduled Premiums.--We show the amount and frequency of the scheduled premiums
in the Schedule of Premiums. The first scheduled premium is due on the contract
date. There is no insurance under this contract unless an amount at least equal
to the first scheduled premium is paid.
The scheduled premium shown is the minimum required, at the frequency chosen, to
continue the contract in full force if all scheduled premiums are paid when due,
investment returns are at the rate assumed, we deduct mortality charges at no
less than the maximum rate, and any contract debt does not exceed the cash
value.
If you wish to pay, on a regular basis, higher premiums than the amount of the
scheduled premium, we will bill you for the higher amount you choose.
If scheduled premiums that are due are not paid, or if smaller payments are
made, the contract may then or at some future time go into default. The
conditions under which default will exist are described below:
Unscheduled Premiums.--Except as we state in the next paragraph, unscheduled
premiums may be paid at any time during the Insured's lifetime, as long as the
contract is not in default beyond its days of grace. We show on page 3 the
minimum premium we will accept. We have the right to limit unscheduled premiums
to a total of $10,000 in any contract year.
If we determine at any time that investment returns above the rate assumed, or
smaller than maximum mortality charges or greater than scheduled premium
payments have made the contract paid-up, we have the right not to accept any
further premium payments, or to limit the amount or frequency of premium
payments thereafter. (See Paid-up Contract, page 9.)
Premium Change on Contract Change Date.--We show the Contract Change Date, in
the Contract Data on page 3. We also show in the Schedule of Premiums on page 3
that the amount of each scheduled premium will change on the Contract Change
Date and what the new premium will be. However, when the Contract Change Date
arrives we will recompute a new premium amount to be used in calculating the
premium account. The new premium that we recompute will be no greater than the
new premium for that date which we show on page 3. In addition, if the premium
account is less than zero, we will set the premium account to zero.
The Schedule of Premiums may also show that the premium changes at other times.
This may occur, for example, with a contract issued with extra benefits or in an
extra rating class if, I either case, this calls for a higher or extra premium
for a limited period of time.

PREMIUM PAYMENT AND REINSTATEMENT (Continued)
Default.--Unless the contract is already in the grace period, (see below), on
each monthly date, after we deduct any charges from the contract fund (which we
describe on page 11) and add any credits to it, we will determine whether the
contract is in default. To do so we will compute the amount which will accrue to
the tabular contract fund on the next monthly date if, during the current
contract month; (1) investment returns are at the assumed rate; and (2) we make
the other charges and credit we have set, including interest on contract debt;
and (3) we receive no premiums or loan repayments and make no more loans or
grant no partial withdrawals. We will subtract this amount from the contract
fund. If the result is zero or more, (that is, not a negative amount,) the
contract is not in default. But if there is a fund deficit -that is, if the
result is less than zero--the contract is in default if the premium account,
which we define below, is also less than zero.
Grace Period.--We grant 61 days of grace from any monthly date (other than the
contract date) on which the contract goes into default. During the days of grace
we will continue to accept premiums and make the charges we have set. If the
monthly date was a scheduled premium due date, when we receive a premium payment
during the days of grace we will first determine whether it satisfies case 2
under Payment of Premiums above. If it does, the default will end. If it does
not, or if the monthly date when the contract went into default was not a
scheduled premium due date, here is what we will do:
If at any time during the days of grace, we have received payments that in total
are at least equal to the lesser of (a) the sum of the fund deficit, (that is,
the amount by which the contract fund is below the tabular contract fund,) on
the date of default and any subsequent Monthly Date, and (b) the sum of the
amount by which the premium account is negative on the date of default and any
scheduled premiums due since the date of default, the default will end.
If the contract is still in default when the days of grace are over, it will end
and have no value, except as we state under contract Value Options, (which we
describe on page 13).
Premium Account.--On the contract date, the premium account is equal to the
premium received on that date minus the scheduled premium then due. On any other
day, the premium account is equal to:
1. what it was on the prior day; plus
2. if the premium account was greater than zero on the prior day, interest on
the excess at 4% year, minus
3. if the premium account was less than zero on the prior day, interest o the
deficit at 4% a year; plus
4. any premium received on that day; minus
5. any scheduled premium due on that day; minus
6. any partial withdrawals on that day.
The contract might be in default, as described above. If so, the premium account
is a negative amount, less than zero. If a premium payment is received on any
day during the days of grace while the contract is in default and the premium
account is negative by no more than one scheduled premium, that payment, to the
extent that it is required to bring the premium account up to zero, will, as we
describe under Payment of Premiums above, be credited to the premium account as
of the monthly date when the scheduled premium, was due, whether the date of
default or a subsequent monthly date. Any remaining portion of the premium
payment will be credited s of the actual date of receipt. In this case the
premium account for all days from the monthly date to the actual date of receipt
will be recalculated.
Reinstatement.--If this contract ends as we describe under Grace Period, you may
reinstate it, if all these conditions are met:
1. No more than three years must have elapsed since the date of default.
2. You must mot have surrendered the contract for its net cash value.
3. You must give us any facts we need to satisfy us that the insured is
insurable for the contract.
4. We must be paid a premium at least equal to the amount required to bring the
premium account up to zero on the first monthly date on which a scheduled
premium is de after the date of reinstatement. From this amount we will deduct
$2, plus 7 1/2% of the remaining payment, plus any charges with interest for any
extra benefits, plus any other expense charges with interest. The contract fund
will be equal to the balance, plus the cash value of the contract immediately
before reinstatement, plus a refund of that part of any surrender charge paid at
the time of default which would be charges if the contract were surrendered
immediately after reinstatement.
5. If before reinstatement the contract is in force as reduced paid-up insurance
(see page 13) any contract debt under reduced paid-up insurance must be repaid
with interest or carried over to the reinstated contract.
If we approve the reinstatement, these statements apply. The date of
reinstatement will be the date of your request or the date the required premium
is paid, if later. And we will start to make daily and monthly charges and
credits again as of the date of reinstatement.

BENEFICIARY
You may designate or change a beneficiary. Your request must be in writing and
in a form that meets our needs. It will take effect only when we file it at our
Service Office; this will be after you send the contract to us to be endorsed,
if we ask you to do so. Then any previous beneficiary's interest will end as of
the date of the request. It will end then even if the Insured is not living when
we file the request. Any beneficiary's interest is subject to the rights of any
assignee of whom we know.
When a beneficiary is designated, any relationship shown is to the Insured,
unless otherwise stated. To show priority, we may use numbered classes, so that
the class with first priority is called class 1, the class with next priority is
called class 2, and so on. When we use numbered classes, these statements apply
to beneficiaries unless the form states otherwise:
1. One who survives the Insured will have the right to be paid only if no one in
a prior class survives the Insured.
2. One who has the right to be paid will be the only one paid if no one else in
the same class survives the Insured.
3. Two or more in the same class who have the right to be paid will be paid in
equal shares.
4. If none survives the Insured, we will pay in one sum to the Insured's estate.
Example: Suppose the class 1 beneficiary is Jane and the class 2 beneficiaries
are Paul and John. We owe Jane the proceeds if she is living at the Insured's
death. We owe Paul and John the proceeds if they are living then but Jane is
not. But if only one of them is living, we owe him the proceeds. If none of them
is living we owe the Insured's estate.
Beneficiaries who do not have a right to be paid under these terms may still
have a right to be paid under the Automatic Mode of Settlement.
Before we make a payment, we have the right to decide what proof we need of the
identity, age or any other facts about any persons designated as beneficiaries.
If beneficiaries are not designated by name and we make payment(s) based on that
proof, we will not have to make the payment(s) again.
PAID-UP CONTRACT
This contract will become fully paid-up if and when whichever of the following
situations is applicable occurs:
(a) For a contract issued at an age lower than 15, the contract fund has grown
to an amount at least equal to the net single premium for the sum of the
ultimate face amount and any excess of the contract fund over the tabular
contract fund, (see pages 3 and 4) plus the present value, discounted at a rate
we set from time to time but no less than 4% a year, of all future charges for
any extra benefits which will continue under the paid-up contract.
(b) For a contract issued at age 15 or above, the contract fund has grown to an
amount at least equal to the net single premium for the sum of the face amount
and any excess of the contract fund over the tabular contract fund, (see pages 3
and 4) plus the present value, discounted at a rate we set from time to time but
no less than 4% a year, of all future charges for any extra benefits which will
continue under the paid-up contract.
We will notify you when we determine that the contract has become fully paid-up.
We have the right at that time to return any part of any payment then being made
which is I excess of the amount billed or required to make the contract paid-up.
And we have the right to accept no further premium payments, or to limit the
amount or frequency of premium payments thereafter. The contract will continue
as paid-up life insurance on the Insured's life.
The death benefit under the paid-up contract may change daily, as we explain
below, but if there is no contract debt, it will never be less than the minimum
guaranteed death benefit determined on the day the contract becomes paid-up.
That amount will be no less than the sum of the face amount shown on page 3,
(or, if the contract was issued below age 15, the ultimate face amount,) and the
excess of the contract fund over the tabular contract fund on that day. It will
be computed by using the contract fund on that day, less the present value of
all future charges for any extra benefits, (computed as described above,) at the
net single premium rate. The net single premium rate depends on the Insured's
issue age and sex and on the length of time since the contract date. The amount
payable in event of death thereafter will be the guaranteed death benefit, or if
greater, the contract fund divided by the net single premium at the Insured's
attained age on the date of death. In either case the amount will be adjusted
for any contract debt and for the amount of any paid-up extra benefits.
The monthly charge described on page 12 and shown on page 3A, and any charges
for extra benefits will not be made after the contract becomes paid-up.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT
The Account.--The word account, where we use it in this contract without
qualification, means the Pruco Life Variable appreciable Account. This is a unit
investment trust registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of
1940. It is also subject to the laws of Arizona. We own the assets of the
account; we keep them separate from the assets of our general investment
account. We established the account to support variable life insurance
contracts. But we do not use it to support this contract if the contract is
being continued under extended term insurance. (See page 13.)
Subaccounts.--The account has several subaccounts. We list them on the Contract
Data page(s). You determine, using percentages, how invested premium amounts
will be allocated among the subaccounts. You may choose to allocate nothing to a
particular subaccount. But any allocation you make must be at least 10%; you may
not choose a fractional percent.
Example: You may choose a percentage of 0, or 100, or 10, 11, 12, and so on, up
to 90. But you may not choose a percentage of 1 through 9, or 91 through 99, or
any percent that is not a whole number. The total for all subaccounts must be
100%.
The allocation of invested premium amounts (see page 11,) that took effect on
the contract date is shown in the Contract Data pages. You may change the
allocation for future invested premium amounts at any time if the contract is
not in default. To do so, you must notify us in writing in a form that meets our
needs. The change will take effect on the date we receive your notice at our
Service Office.
A premium might be paid when the investment amount is less than zero. In that
case, when we receive that premium, we first use as much of the invested premium
amount as we need to eliminate the deficit in the investment amount. We will
then allocate any remainder of the invested premium amount in accord with your
most recent request. (We describe investment amount on page 11.)
The Fund.--The word fund, where we use it in this contract without
qualification, means the fund we identify in the Contract Data pages. The fund
is registered with the SEC under the Investment company Act of 1940 as an
open-end diversified management investment company. The fund has several
portfolios; there is a portfolio that corresponds to each of the subaccounts of
the account. We list these portfolios in the Contract Data pages.
Account Investments.--We use the assets of the account to buy shares in the
fund. Each subaccount is invested in a corresponding specific portfolio. Income
and realized and unrealized gains and losses from assets in each subaccount are
credited to, or charged against, the subaccount. This is without regard to
income, gains, or losses in our other investment accounts.
We will determine the value of the assets in the account at the end of each
business day. When we use the term business day, we mean a day when the New York
Stock Exchange is open for trading. We might need to know the value of an asset
on a day that is not a business day or on which trading in that asset does not
take place. In this case, we will use the value of that asset as of the end of
the last prior business day on which trading took place.
Example: If we need to know the value of an asset on a Sunday, we will normally
use the value of the asset as of the end of business on Friday.
We will always keep assets in the account with a total value at least equal to
the amount of the investment amounts under contracts like this one. To the
extent those assets do not exceed this amount, we use them only to support those
contracts; we do not use those assets to support any other business we conduct.
We may use any excess over this amount in any way we choose.
Change in Investment Policy.--A portfolio of the fund might make a material
change in its investment policy. In that case, we will send you a notice of the
change. Within 60 days after you receive the notice, or within 60 days after the
effective date of the change, if later, you may exchange this contract for a new
contract of fixed benefit insurance on the Insured's life. The conditions for
exchange, and the specifications for the new contract, are described under
Exchange of contract on page 16.
Change of Fund.--A portfolio might, in our judgment, become unsuitable for
investment by a subacount. This might happen because of a change in investment
policy, or a change in the laws or regulations, or because the shares are no
longer available for investment, or for some other reason. If that occurs, we
have the right to substitute another portfolio of the fund, or to invest in a
fund other than the one we show on the Contract Data page(s). But we would first
seek approval from the SEC and, where required, the insurance regulator where
this contract is delivered.

INVESTMENT AMOUNT AND RETURN ON INVESTMENT
Investment Amount.--The investment amount for this contract is the amount we use
to compute the investment return. The investment amount is allocated among the
subaccounts. The amount of the investment amount and its allocation to
subaccounts depend on (1) how you choose to allocate net premiums; (2) whether
or not to transfer amounts among subaccounts, as we discuss below; (3) the
investment performance of the subaccounts to which amounts are allocated or
transferred; (4) the amount and timing of premium payments you make; (5) whether
or not you take any loan; and (6) whether or not you make any partial
withdrawals. The investment amount exists only is the contract is not in default
past the days of grace or if it is being continued as variable reduced paid-up
insurance.
The investment amount at any time is equal to the contract fund, (we explain
this under contract Fund,) minimum the amount of any loan on the contract, minus
interest accrued on the loan at 4% a year since the last Monthly Date (we
explain this under Loans.)
Assumed Rate of Return.--The assumed rate of return is an effective rate of 4% a
year. This is the same as .01074598% a day compounded daily.
Transfers Among Subaccounts.--You may transfer amounts among subaccounts as
often as four times in a contract year, if the contract is not in default or if
the contract is being continued under the variable reduced paid up option. To do
so, you must notify us in writing in a form that meets our needs. The transfer
will take effect on the date we receive your notice at our Service Office.
CONTRACT FUND
Contract Fund Defined.--On the contract date the contract fund is equal to the
invested premium amounts received, (see below), minus any of the charges
described in terms (d) through (j) below which may have been due on that date.
On any day after that the contract fund is equal to what it was on the previous
day, plus any invested premium amount received that day, plus these items.
(a) any increase due to investment results in the value of the subaccounts
to which that portion of the contract fund that is in the investment
amount is allocated; (we explain investment amount above); and
(b) guaranteed interest at 4% a year on that portion of the contract fund
that is not in the investment amount;
and minus these items:
(c) any decrease due to investment results in the value of the subaccounts
to which that portion of the contract fund that is in the investment
amount is allocated;
(d) a charge against the investment amount at a rate of not more than
.00163894% a day (.60% a year) for mortality and expense risks that we
assume;
(e) any amount charged against the investment amount for Federal or State
income taxes;
(f) a monthly charge to guarantee the minimum death benefit;
(g) a charge for the cost of expected mortality;
(h) any charges for extra rating class;
(i) any charges for extra benefits;
(j) a monthly administration charges;
(k) any partial withdrawals; and
(l) if the contract becomes paid-up on that day, the present value of any
future charges for any extra benefits that will continue under the
paid-up contract.
We describe under Reinstatement on page 8 what the contract fund will be equal
to on any reinstatement date.
Invested Premium Amount.--This is the portion of each premium paid that we will
add to the contract fund. It is equal to the premium paid, minus $2, minus
7 1/2% of the rest of the premium. We explain this under Schedule of Expense
Charges from Premium Payments.
Guaranteed Interest Credits.--We will credit interest to the contract fund each
day on any portion of the contract fund on that day which is not in the
investment amount. That portion will be any contract loan plus interest accrued
on the loan at the rate of 4% a year since the last Monthly Date. (See Loans.)
We will credit .01074598% a day, which is an effective rate of 4% a year.
Cost of Expected Mortality.--This charge is computed daily and deducted monthly
from the contract fund, on each Monthly Date. We apply this charge to the
coverage amount. The coverage amount is equal to what the Basic Amount (see page
21) would be if there were no extra benefits, minus the contract fund. Where
required, we have given the insurance regulator a detailed description of the
method we use.
We will not charge more than the maximum guaranteed rates, which are based on
the Insured's sex and attained age and the mortality table described under the
Basis of Computation. We may charge less. At lease once every five years, but
not more often than once a year, we will consider the need to change the
charges. We will change them only if we do so for all contracts like this one
dated in the same year as this one.

CONTRACT FUND (Continued)
Charge for Extra Rating Class.--If there is an extra charge because of the
rating class of the Insured or because the Insured is a cigarette smoker, we
will deduct it from the contract fund at the beginning of each contract month.
Any charge is included in the amount shown in the Contract Data pages under
Schedule of Monthly Deductions from Contract Fund.
Charge for Extra Benefits.--If the contract has extra benefits, we will deduct
the charges for such benefits from the contract fund at the beginning of each
contract month. Charges for any such extra benefits are included in the amount
shown in the Contract Data pages under Schedule of Monthly Deductions from
Contract Fund.
If and when we determine that the contract has become paid-up, we will deduct
from the contract fund the present value of any future charges for any extra
benefits that will continue under the paid-up contract. We will make no further
deductions for these benefits after that. The description of any such benefit
(which can be found following page 20) describes how the future cash value, if
any, of that benefit will be determined.
Monthly Administration Charge and Mortality Risk Charge.--On each monthly date,
we will deduct up to $2.50 plus up to 2c per $1,000 of face amount, from the
contract fund, as a monthly administration charge. We will also deduct 1c per
$1,000 of face amount for guaranteeing the minimum death benefit regardless of
the investment performance of the separate account. (Both of these references to
charges based upon face amount are to initial face amount for contracts issued
below age 15. The total charges do not increase when the face amount increases
at attained age 21.) These charges will be made only while the contract is on a
premium paying basis; they will not be made if the contract becomes paid-up or
is continued as variable reduced paid-up or extended term insurance, (see
Contract Value Options). We show the amount of these charges in the Contract
Date pages under Schedule of Monthly Deductions from Contract Fund.
Partial Withdrawals.--If the cash value of this contract is more than the
tabular cash value, you may be able to make partial withdrawals from the
contract. All these conditions must be met.
(1) The amount withdrawn, plus the net cash value after withdrawal, may not be
more than the net cash value before withdrawal.
(2) The cash value after withdrawal must not be less than the tabular cash
value.
(3) The amount you withdraw must be at least $500.
(4) You may make no more than four withdrawals in a contract year. We will add a
withdrawal fee of $15 to the amount you ask to withdraw;
(5) An amount withdrawn may not be repaid, except as an unscheduled premium
subject to charges.
We will tell you how much you may withdraw if you ask us.

<PAGE>
CONTRACT VALUE OPTIONS
Benefit After the Grace Period.--If the contract is in default beyond its days
of grace, we will use any net cash value (which we describe under Cash Value
Option) to keep the contract in force as one of two kinds of insurance. One kind
is extended insurance. The second kind is variable reduced paid-up insurance. We
describe each below. You will find under Automatic Benefit which kind it will
be. Any extra benefit(s) will end as soon as the contract is in default past its
days of race, unless the form that describes the extra benefit states otherwise.
Extended Insurance.--This will be term insurance of a fixed amount on the
Insured's life. We will pay the amount of term insurance if the Insured dies in
the term we describe below. Before the end of the term there will be cash values
but no loan value.
The amount of term insurance will be the death benefit on the date of default,
minus any part of that death benefit which was provided by extra benefits. The
term is a period of time that will start on the day the contract went into
default. The length of the term will be what is provided when we use the net
cash value at the net single premium rate. This rate depends on the Insured's
issue age and sex and on the length of time since the contract date.
There may be extra days of term insurance. This will occur if, on the day the
contract goes into default, the term of extended insurance provided by the net
cash value does not exceed 90 days, or the number of days the contract was in
force before the default began, if less. The number of extra days will be (1)
90, or the number of days the contract was in force before the default began, if
less, minus (2) the number of days of extended insurance that would be provided
by the net cash value if there were no contract debt. The extra days, if any,
start on the day after the last day of term insurance provided by the net cash
value, if any. If there is no such term insurance, the extra days start on the
day the contract goes into default. The term insurance for the extra days has no
cash value. There will be no extra days if you replace the extended insurance
with variable reduced paid-up insurance or you surrender the contract before the
extra days start.
Variable Reduced Paid-up Insurance.--This will be paid-up variable life
insurance on the Insured's life. The death benefit may change from day to day,
as we explain below, but if there is no contract debt, it will not be less than
a minimum guarantee amount determined as of the day when the contract went into
default. There will be cash values and loan values.
The minimum guaranteed amount of insurance will be computed by using the net
cash value at the net single premium rate. The net single premium rate depends
on the Insured's issue age and sex and on the length of time since the contract
date. The amount payable in event of death thereafter will be the greater of (a)
the minimum guaranteed amount and (b) the contract fund divided by the net
single premium at the Insured's attained age. In either case the amount will be
adjusted for any contract debt.
Except when it is provided as the automatic benefit, (see below), the variable
reduced paid-up insurance option will be available only when the guaranteed
death benefit under the option will be $5000 or more.
Computations.--We will make all computations for either of these benefits as of
the date the contract goes into default. But we will consider any loan you take
out or pay back or any premium payments or partial withdrawals you make in the
days of grace.
Automatic Benefit.--When the contract is in default, it will stay in force as
extended insurance. But it will stay in force as variable reduced paid-up
insurance if either of these statements applies: (1) We issue the contract in a
rating class for which we do not provide extended insurance; in this case the
phrase No Extended Insurance is in the Rating Class on page 3. (2) The amount of
reduced paid-up insurance would be at lease as great as the amount of term
insurance.
Optional Benefit.--You may choose to replace any fixed extended insurance that
has a net cash value by variable reduced paid-up insurance. To make this choice,
you must do so in writing to us in a form that meets our needs, not more than
three months after the date the contract goes into default. You must also send
the contract to us to be endorsed.
Cash Value Option.--You may surrender this contract for its net cash value. The
net cash value at any time is the cash value at that time less any contract
debt. To surrender this contract, you must ask us in writing in a form that
meets our needs. You must also send the contract to us. here is how we will
compute the case value for surrender of the contract or for its continuation
under extended insurance or variable reduced paid-up insurance:
1. If the contract is not in default: The cash value on surrender at any time in
the first ten contract years is the contract fund, minus a surrender charge,
consisting of a deferred sales charge and a deferred underwriting and issue
charge. The cash value on surrender at the end of the tenth contract year or
later is the contract fund.
A schedule of maximum surrender charges for this contract is on page 3A.
(Continued on Next Page.

CONTRACT VALUE OPTIONS (Continued)
In no event will the deferred sales charge upon surrender be greater than 25% of
scheduled premiums due I contract year 1, plus 5% of the scheduled premiums due
in contract years 2 through 5. For the purpose of computing this limit we use
the lesser of premiums due and premiums paid.
For a paid-up contract that includes extra benefits, the cash value is the
amount described above, plus the cash value, if any, of the extra benefits. (See
the description of any such extra benefits following page 20.(
2. If the contract is in default during the days of grace: We will compute the
net cash value as of the day the contract went into default. But we will adjust
this value for any loan you take out or pay back or any premium payments or
partial withdrawals you make in the days of grace.
3. If the contract is in default beyond its days of grace: The net cash value as
of any date will be the value on that date of any extended insurance benefit
then in force. Or it will be the value on that date of any variable reduced
paid-up insurance benefit then in force, less any contract debt.
Within 30 days of a contract anniversary, the net cash value of any extended
insurance will not be less than the value on that anniversary.
If the contract is not in default past the days of grace, or if the contract is
in force as variable reduced paid up insurance, we will usually pay any cash
value within 7 days after we receive your request and the contract at our
Service Office. But we have the right to defer payment if (1) the New York Stock
Exchange is closed; or (2) the SEC requires that trading be restricted or
declares and emergency; or (3) the SEC lets us defer payments of protect our
contract owners.
If the contract is in force as extended insurance we have the right to postpone
paying a cash value for up to six months. If we do so for more than 30 days, we
will pay interest at the rate of 3% a year.
Tabular Values.--In the table on page 4 we show tabular contract fund and
tabular cash values at the end of the contract years. The tabular contract fund
values are the amount which will then be in the contract fund, (see page 11,) if
all scheduled premiums have been paid on their due dates, there have been no
unscheduled premiums paid, there is no contract debt, the subaccounts you have
chosen earn exactly the assumed rate of return, and we have deducted the maximum
mortality charges. The tabular cash values are the amounts which, under the same
conditions, will then be used to provide extended insurance or variable reduced
paid-up insurance or will be paid in cash if the maxim surrender charges are
applied. The tabular cash value shown is equal to the tabular contract fund
value as of the same date, after deducting any surrender charges (at the maximum
rate) from the tabular contract fund value. (See Cash Value Option above.) Since
surrender charges are not deducted after the end of the 10th contract year, the
tabular cash values are the same as the tabular contract fund values thereafter.
If we need to compute tabular values at some time during a contract year, we
will count the time since the start of the year. We will let you know the
tabular values for other durations if you ask for them.

LOANS
Loan Requirements.--After the first anniversary, you may borrow from us on the
contract. All these conditions must be met:
1. The Insured is living.
2. The contract is in force other than as extended insurance.
3. The contract debt will not be more than the loan value. (We explain these
terms below.)
4. As sole security for the loan, you assign the contract to us in a form that
meets our needs.
5. Except when used to pay premiums on this contract, the amount you borrow at
any one time must be at lease $500.
If there is already contract debt when you borrow from us, we will add the new
amount you borrow to that debt.
Contract Debt.--Contract debt at any time means the loan on the contract, plus
the interest we have charges that is not yet due and that we have not yet added
to the loan.
Loan Value.--You may borrow any amount up to the difference between the loan
value and any existing contract debt. At any time the loan value is 90% of the
net cash value.
There is one exception. If the contract is I default, the loan value during the
days of grace is what it was on the date of default.
Example 1: Suppose the contract has a loan value of $6,000. About eight months
ago you borrowed $1,500. By now there is interest of $55 charges but not yet
due. The contract debt is now $1,555, which is made up of the $1,500 loan and
the $55 interest.
Example 2: Suppose, in example 1, you want to borrow all that you can. We will
lend out $4,445 which is the difference between the $6,000 loan value and the
$1,555 contract debt. This will increase the contract debt to $6,000. We will
add the new amount borrowed to the existing loan and will charge interest on it,
too.
Interest Charge.--We will charge interest daily on any loan at the effective
rate of 5 1/2% a year. Interest is due on each contract anniversary, or when the
loan is paid back if that comes first. If interest is not paid when due, it will
become part of the loan. Then we will start to charge interest on it, too.
Example 3: Suppose the contract date is 1987. Six months before the anniversary
in 1996 you borrow $1,600 out of a $4,000 loan value. We charge 5 1/2% a year.
Three months later, but still three months before the anniversary, we will have
charges about $22 interest. This amount will be a few cents more or less than
$22 since some months have more days than others. The interest will not be due
until the anniversary unless the load is paid back sooner. The loan will still
be $1,600. The contract debt will be $1,622, since contract debt included
interest charged but not yet due.
On the anniversary in 1996 we will have charged about $44 interest. The interest
will then be due.
Example 4: Suppose the $44 interest in example 3 was paid on the anniversary.
The loan and contract debt each became $1,600 right after the payment.
Example %: Suppose the $44 interest in example 3 was not paid on the
anniversary. The interest became part of the loan, and we began to charge
interest on it, too. The loan and contract debt each became $1,644.
Repayment.--All or part of any contract debt may be paid back at any time while
the Insured is living. When we settle the contract, any contract debt is due us.
If there is contract debt at the end of the last day of grace when the contract
is in default, it will be deducted from the cash value to determine the net cash
value. We will make this adjustment so that the proceeds will not include the
amount of that debt.
Effect of a Loan.--When you take a loan, the amount of the loan continues to be
a part of the contract fund and is credited with interest at the guaranteed rate
of $% a year. However, we will reduce the investment amount by the amount you
borrow, and by loan interest that becomes part of the loan because it is not
paid when due. On each Monthly Date, if there is a contract loan outstanding, we
will increase the investment amount by interest credits accrued on the loan at
4% a year since the last Monthly Date. When you repay part or all of a loan will
increase the investment amount by the amount of loan you repay, plus, if you
repay all the loan, interest credits accrued on the loan at 4% a year since the
last Monthly Date. We will not increase the investment amount by loan interest
that is paid before we make it part of the loan.
We will allocate loans and repayments among the subaccounts I proportion to the
investment amount in each subaccount as of the date of the loan or repayment.
Only the amount of the investment amount will reflect the investment results of
the subaccounts. Since the amount you borrow is removed from the investment
amount, a loan may be a permanent effect on the net cash value of this contract,
and also for a contract which is paid-up or which is in force under the variable
reduced paid-up option, on any death benefit in excess of the guaranteed death
benefit. The longer the loan is outstanding, the greater this effect is likely
to be.

LOANS (Continued)
Example 6: Suppose the contract's investment amount is $15,000 and that $10,000
is in subaccount A and $5,000 is in subaccount B. If you make a $9,000 loan we
will reduce the amount in subaccount A by $6,000 and the amount in subaccount B
by $3,000.
Suppose that sometime later, when the investment amount in each of the two
subaccounts is the same you choose to repay the $9,000 loan. We will add $4,500
to the amount in each subaccount.
Excess Contract Debt.--If contract debt ever becomes equal to or more than the
cash value, all the contract's benefits will end 61 days after we mail a notice
to you and any assignee of whom we know. Also, we may send a notice to the
Insured's last known address. In the notice we will state the amount that, if
paid to us, will keep the contract's benefits from ending for a limited time.
Postponement of Loan.--We will usually make a loan within 7 days after we
receive your request at our Service Office. But we have the right to defer
making the loan if (1) the New York Stock Exchange is closed; or (2) the SEC
requires that trading be restricted or declares an emergency; or (3) the SEC
lets us defer payments to protect our contract owners.
EXCHANGE OF CONTRACT
Right to Exchange.--Before the second anniversary you may exchange this contract
for a new contract of fixed benefit insurance on the Insured's life. You will
not have to prove to us that the Insured is insurable. Also, you may make such
an exchange at any time if there is a material change in the investment policy
of a portfolio (see Change in Investment Policy on page 10). When we use the
term new contract we mean the contract for which this contract may be exchanged.
Conditions.--Your right to make this exchange is subject to all these
conditions: (1) You must ask for the exchange in writing in a form that meets
our needs. (2) You must surrender the contract to us. (3) We must have your
request and the contract at our Service office while the contract is in force
and not in default past its days of grace. (4) You must pay back any contract
debt under this contract, to the extent it may exceed the loan value of the new
contract. (5) You must pay any other charges required for the exchange.
Exchange Date.--The exchange date will be the later of: (1) the date we receive
the contract and our request at our Service Office; and (2) the date we receive
the payment, if any, required for the exchange. The new contract will take
effect on the exchange date only if the Insured is then living. If the new
contract takes effect, this contract will end just before the exchange date.
Contract Specifications.--The new contract will be on the Modified Premium Whole
Life plan. It will have a face amount equal to the face amount of this one. It
will have the same contract date and issue age as this contract and be in the
same rating class.
If, for any reason, we are not issuing the Modified Premium Whole Life Contract
on the exchange dates, then the new contract will be another life plan that we
would regularly issue on that date for the same rating class, amount, issue, age
and sex.
This contract might include an extra benefit which is still in effect just
before the exchange date. And a similar kind of benefit might have been
regularly offered in contracts like the new one on the date the extra benefit
took effect in this contract. In that case, if you ask for it in your request
for the exchange, that similar kind of benefit will be put in the new contract.
When we use the phrase contracts like the new one, we mean contracts that were,
on the contract date of this contract, regularly issued on the same plan as the
new one and for the same rating class, amount, issue age and sex.
The amount of any accidental death benefit included in the new contract in
accord with this provision will be the same as the amount of any accidental
death benefit in this contract.
If a benefit for waiving scheduled premiums is included in the new contract in
accord with this provision, any scheduled premiums to be waived under the new
contract for a disability that began before the exchange date must be at the
billing frequency that applied to this contract when the disability started. But
premiums will not be waived under the new contract unless it has a benefit for
waiving premiums in the event of disability. This will be so even if we have
waived premiums under this contract.
A charge may be made on exchange in the following situation: If, on the date of
exchange, the contract fund of this contract is less than the tabular contract
fund, a charge will be made for the difference in the two amounts. If the
contract fund of this contract is equal to or greater than the tabular contract
fund, no charge will be made. In these cases, the contract fund of the new
contract will be equal to that of this contract.
Exchange at Other Times.--You may be able to exchange this contract for a fixed
benefit Modified Premium Whole Life contract at a time other than those
described under right to Exchange above. But any such exchange may be made only
if we consent, and will be subject to conditions and charges which we then
determine.

SETTLEMENT OPTIONS
Payee Defined.--In these provisions and under the Automatic Mode of Settlement,
the word Payee means a person who has a right to receive a settlement under the
contract. Such a person may be the Insured, the owner, a beneficiary, or a
contingent payee.
Choosing an Option.--While the Insured is living you may choose, or change the
choice of, an option for all or part of the proceeds that may arise from the
Insured's death. The requirements are the same as those to designate or change a
beneficiary. We describe them under Beneficiary.
A payee may choose an option for all or part of any proceeds or residue that
becomes payable to him or her in one sum. We describe residue later on this
page.
In some cases, you or another Payee will need our consent to choose an option.
We describe these cases under conditions.
Options Described.--Here are the options we offer. We may also consent to other
arrangements.
Option 1 (Instalments for a Fixed Period).--We will make equal payments for up
to 25 years based on the Option 1 Table. The payments will include interest at
an effective rate of 3 1/2% a year. We may credit more interest. If and while we
do so, the payments will be larger.
Option 2 (Life Income).--We will make equal monthly payments for as long as the
person on whose life the settlement is based lives, with payments certain for
the period chosen. The choices are either ten years (10-Year Certain) or until
the sum of the payments equals the amount put under this option (Instalment
Refund). The amount of each payment will be based on the Option 2 Table and on
the sex and age, on the due date of the first payment, of the person on whose
life the settlement is based. But if a choice is made more than two years after
the Insured's death, we may use the Option 2 payment rates in individual annuity
contracts or life insurance contracts we regularly issue, based on United States
currency, on the due date of the first payment. On request, we will quote the
payment rates in contracts we then issue. We must have proof of the date of
birth of the person on whose life the settlement is based. If on the due date of
the first payment under this option, we have declared a higher payment rate
under the option, we will base the payments on that higher rate.
Option 3 (Interest Payment).--We will hold an amount at interest. We will pay
interest at an effective rate of at lease 3% a year ($3.000 annually, $14.89
semi-annually, $7.42 quarterly or $2.47 monthly per $1,000). We may pay more
interest.
Option 4 (Instalments of a Fixed Amount).--We will make equal annual,
semi-annual, quarterly or monthly payments if they total at least $90 a year for
each $1,000 put under this option. We will credit the unpaid balance with
interest at an effective rate of at least 3 1/2% a year. We may credit more
interest. If we do so, the balance will be larger. The final payment will be any
balance equal to or less than one payment.
First Payment Due Date.--Unless a different date is stated when the option is
chosen: (1) the first payment for Option 3 will be due at the end of the chosen
payment interval; and (2) the first payment for any of the other options will be
due on the date the option takes effect.
Residue Described.--For Options 1 and 2, residue on any date means the then
present value of any unpaid payments certain. We will compute it at an effective
interest rate of 3 1/2% a year. But we will use the interest rate we used to
compute the actual Option 2 payments if they were not based on the table in this
contract.
For Options 3 and 4, residue on any date means any unpaid balance with interest
to that date.
For option 2, residue does not include the value of any payment that may become
due after the certain period.

SETTLEMENT OPTIONS (Continued)
Withdrawal of Residue.--Unless otherwise stated when the option is chosen: (1)
under Options 1 and 2 the residue may be withdrawn; and (2) under Options 3 and
4 all, or any part not less than $100, of the residue may be withdrawn. If an
Option 3 residue is reduced to less than $1,000, we have the right to pay it in
one sum. Under Option 2, withdrawal of the residue will not affect any payments
that may become due after the certain period; the value of those payments cannot
be withdrawn. Instead, the payments will start again if they were based on the
life of a person who lives past the certain period.
Designating Contingent Payee(s).--A Payee under an option has the right, unless
otherwise stated, to name or change a contingent payee to receive any residue at
that Payee's death. This may be done only if (1) the Payee has the full right to
withdraw the residue; or (2) the residue would otherwise have been payable to
that Payee's estate at death.
A Payee who has this right may choose, or change the choice of, an option for
all or part of the residue. In some cases, the Payee will need our consent to
choose or change an option. We describe these cases under Conditions.
Any request to exercise any of these rights must be in writing and in a form
that meets our needs. It will take effect only when we file it at our Service
Office. Then the interest of anyone who is being removed will end as of the date
of the request, even if the Payee who made the request is not living when we
file it.
Changing Options.--A payee under Option 1, 3 or 4 may choose another option for
any sum that the Payee could withdraw on the date the chosen option is to start.
That date may be before the date the Payee makes the choice only if we consent.
In some cases, the Payee will need our consent to choose or change an option. We
describe these cases next.
Conditions.--Under any of these conditions, our consent is needed for an option
to be used for any person:
1. The person is not a natural person who will be paid in his or her own right.
2. The person will be paid as assignee.
3. The amount to be held for the person under Option 3 is less than $1,000. But
we will hold any amount for at lease one year in accord with the Automatic Mode
of Settlement.
4. Each payment to the person under the option would be less than $20.
5. The option is for residue arising other than at (a) the Insured's death, or
(b) the death of the beneficiary who was entitled to be paid as of the date of
the Insured's death.
6. The option is for proceeds that arise other than from the Insured's death,
and we are settling with an owner or any other person who is not the Insured.
Death of Payee.--If a Payee under an option dies and if no other distribution is
shown, we will pay any residue under that option in one sum to the Payee's
estate.
ENDORSEMENTS
(Only we can endorse this contract.)

II-79
<PAGE>
AUTOMATIC MODE OF SETTLEMENT
Applicability.--These provisions apply to proceeds arising from the Insured's
death and payable in one sum to a Payee who is a beneficiary. They do not apply
to any periodic payment.
Interest on Proceeds.--We will hold the proceeds at interest under Option 3 of
the Settlement Options provision. The Payee may withdraw the residue. We will
pay it promptly on request. We will pay interest annually unless we agree to pay
it more often. We have the right to pay the residue in one sum after one year if
(a) the Payee is not a natural person who will be paid in his or her own right;
(2) the Payee will be paid as assignee; or (3) the original amount we hold under
Option 3 for the Payee is less than $1,000.
Settlement at Payee's Death.--If the Payee dies and leaves an option 3 residue,
we will honor any contingent payee provision then in effect. If there is none,
here is what we will do. We will look to the beneficiary designation of the
contract; we will see what other beneficiary(ies), if any, would have been
entitled to the portion of the proceeds that produced the Option 3 residue if
the Insured had not died until immediately after the Payee died. Then we will
pay the residue in one sum to such other beneficiary(ies), in accord with that
designation. But if, as stated in that designation, payment would be due the
estate of someone else, we will instead pay the estate of the Payee.
Example: Suppose the class 1 beneficiary is Jane and the class 2 beneficiaries
are Paul and John. Jane was living when the Insured died. Jane later died
without having chosen an option or naming someone other than Paul and John as
contingent payee. If Paul and John are living at Jane's death we own them the
residue. If only one of them is living then, and if the contract called for
payment to the survivor of them, we own him the residue. If neither of them is
living then, we owe Jane's estate.

BASIS OF COMPUTATION
Mortality Tables Described.--Except as we state in the next paragraph, (1) we
base all net premium and net values to which we refer in this contract on the
Insured's issue age and sex and on the length of time since the contract date;
(2) we use the Commissioners 1980 Standard Ordinary Mortality Table; and (3) we
use continuous functions based on age last birthday.
For extended insurance, we base net premiums and net values on the Commissioners
1980 Extended Term Insurance Table.
Interest Rate.--For all net premium and net values to which we refer in this
contract we use an effective rate of 4% a year.
Exclusions.--When we compute net values we exclude the value of any
Supplementary Benefits and any other extra benefits added by rider to this
contract.
Values After 20 Contract Years.--Tabular values after the 20th contract year
will be the net level premium reserves, taking into account the increase in
scheduled premium amount on the Contract Change Date. To compute them, we will
use the mortality tables and interest rate we describe above. There will be the
same exclusions.
Minimum Legal Values.--The cash, loan and other values in this contract are at
least as large as those set by law where it is delivered. Where required, we
have given the insurance regulator a detailed statement of how we compute values
and benefits.

ALTERATION OF TEXT
The first paragraph of the misstatement of Age or Sex Provision on page 6 is
amended to read as follows. If the Insured's stated age or sex or both are not
correct, we will adjust each benefit and any amount to be paid to reflect the
correct age and sex. How we will do so depends on the status of the contract
when we learn of the error, and on whether the Insured is then living. If the
Insured dies while the contract is in force as extended term insurance, here is
what we will do. We will compute what the net cash value of the incorrect
contract was on the date of default. We will compute the amount of extended term
insurance this value would have provided at the Insured's correct age, on the
date of default, and sex for the length of time, beginning on the date of
default, that we computed for the incorrect contract. We will pay this amount.
If the contract is in force other than as extended term insurance and the
Insured is not living when we learn of the error, here is what we will do. We
will compute the charge we made on the last Monthly Date before the Insured's
death for the cost of expected mortality (see page 11, Cost of Expected
Mortality). We will compute the coverage amount which this charge would have
provided at the Insured's Correct sex and age on that Monthly Date. The new
Basic Amount will be the correct coverage amount plus the contract fund. If the
contract is in force other than as extended term insurance and the Insured is
living when we learn of the error, here is what we will do. We will accumulate,
at 4% interest, the scheduled premiums per $1000 of face amount of the incorrect
contract, multiplied by its face amount. We will accumulate, at 4% interest, the
scheduled premiums per $1000 of face amount of a similar contract issued at the
Insured's correct age and sex. We will divide the first accumulation by the
second. The result will be the face amount of a new contract with which we will
replace the incorrect contract. The new contract will be similar in form to the
incorrect contract but will contain scheduled premiums, tabular contract funds,
tabular cash values and surrender charges as if it had been issued at the
correct age and sex. If the contract fund of the incorrect contract is at least
equal to the tabular contract fund of the correct contract, then we will set the
contract fund of the correct contract equal to that of the incorrect contract.
If not, we will set the contract fund of the correct contract equal to its
tabular contract fund, and grant a loan against the correct contract equal to
the excess of its tabular contract fund over the contract fund of the incorrect
contract. This loan will be added to any existing loan. If we need to adjust any
benefit under conditions we have not fully described in this provision, we will
do so in a consistent way.

CONTRACT SUMMARY
We offer this summary to help you understand this contract. We do not intend
that it change any of the provisions of the contract.
This is a contract of life insurance. Premiums are to be paid throughout the
Insured's lifetime. We specify a schedule of premiums that will keep the
contract in force. Additional premiums may be paid at your option, subject to
limits in the contract. The cash value will vary with the payment of premiums,
the investment performance of the Separate Account subaccounts that you select,
the interest credited to any portion of the contract fund not allocated to the
subaccounts, and the mortality and expense charges deducted.
The face amount shown on page 3 is the guaranteed death benefit. The death
benefit will not decrease below the guaranteed death benefit if the contract is
not in default past its days of grace and there is no contract debt. (We
describe on page 9 the way the contract can go into default.) Subject to certain
requirements, you may increase or decrease the face amount. If the contract
remains in default past its days of grace, the contract may end or it may stay
in force with reduced benefits. If either occurs, you may be able to reinstate
its full benefits.
Proceeds is a word we use to mean the amount we would pay if we were to settle
the contract in one sum. To compute the proceeds that may arise from the
Insured's death, we start with a basic amount. We may adjust that amount if
there is a loan or if the contract is in default. The table on page 23 tells
what the basic amount is. The amount depends on how the contract is in force.
The table will refer you to the parts of the contract that tell you how we
adjust the basic amount. If you surrender the contract, the proceeds will be the
net cash value. We describe it under Cash Value Option on page 17.
Proceeds often are not taken in one sum. For instance, on surrender, you may be
able to put proceeds under a settlement option to provide retirement income or
for some other purpose. Also, for all or part of the proceeds that arise from
the Insured's death, you may be able to choose a manner of payment for the
beneficiary. If an option has not been chosen, the beneficiary may be able to
choose one. We will pay interest under the Interest Payment Option from the date
of death on any proceeds to which no other manner of payment applies. This will
be automatic as we state on page 21. There is no need to ask for it
You and we may agree on a change in the ownership of this contract. Also, unless
we endorse it to say otherwise, the contract gives you these rights, subject to
certain limitations and requirements:
o You may change the beneficiary under it;
o You may borrow on it up to its loan value;
o You may surrender it for its net cash value;
o You may change the allocation of future net premiums among the subaccounts
and the fixed account;
o You may transfer amounts among subaccounts and the fixed account;
o You may change the face amount;
o You may withdraw a portion of the contract's value.
The contract, as issued, may or may not have extra benefits that we call
Supplementary Benefits. If it does, we list them under Supplementary Benefits on
the Contract Data pages and describe them after page 24. The contract may or may
not have other extra benefits. If it does, we add them by rider. Any extra
benefit ends as soon as the contract is in default past its days of grace,
unless the form that describes it states otherwise.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
Definitions.--We define here some of the words and phrases used all through this
contract. We explain others, not defined here, in other parts of the text.
We, Our, Us and Company -- Pruco Life Insurance Company, an Arizona Corporation.
You and Your.--The owner of the contract.
Insured.--The person named as the Insured on the first page. He or she need not
be the owner.
Example: Suppose we issue a contract on the life of your spouse. You applied for
it and named no one else as owner. Your spouse is the Insured and you are the
owner.
SEC.--The Securities and Exchange Commission.
PLVAA.-- The Pruco Life Variable Appreciable Account.
Issue Date.--The contract date.
Monthly Date.--The contract date and the same day as the contract date in each
later month.
Example: If the contract date is March 9, 1986, the Monthly Dates are each March
9, April 9, May 9 and so on.
Anniversary or Contract Anniversary.--The same day and month as the contract
date in each later year.
Example: If the contract date is March 9, 1986, the first anniversary is March
9, 1987. The second is March 9, 1988, and so on.
Contract Year.--A year that starts on the contract date or on an anniversary.
Example: If the contract date is March 9, 1986, the first contract year starts
then and ends on March 8, 1987. The second starts on March 9, 1987 and ends on
March 8, 1988, and so on.
Contract Month.--A month that starts on a Monthly Date.
Example: If March 9, 1986 is a Monthly Date, a contract month starts then and
ends on April 8, 1986. The next contract month starts on April 9, 1986 and ends
on May 8, 1986, and so on.
Attained Age.--The Insured's attained age at any time is the issue age plus the
length of time since the contract date. You will find the issue age near the top
of page 3.
The Contract.--This policy, and the attached copy of the initial application
together with copies of any subsequent applications to change the policy, and
any additional Contract Data pages added to this policy form the whole contract.
We assume that all statements in the application were made to the best of the
knowledge and belief of the person(s) who made them; in the absence of fraud
they are deemed to be representations and not warranties. We relied on those
statements when we issued the contract. We will not use any statement, unless
made in the application, to try to void the contract or to deny a claim.
Contract Modifications.--Only a Company officer with the rank or title of Vice
President or above may agree to modify this contract, and then only in writing.
Non-participating.--This contract will not share in our profits or surplus
earnings. We will pay no dividends on it.
Service Office.--This is the office that will service this contract. Its mailing
address is the one we show on the Contract Data pages, unless we notify you of
another one.
Ownership and Control.--Unless we endorse this contract to say otherwise: (1)
the owner of the contract is the Insured; and (2) while the Insured is living
the owner alone is entitled to (a) any contract benefit and value, and (b) the
exercise of any right and privilege granted by the contract or by us.
Suicide Exclusion.--If the Insured, whether sane or insane, dies by suicide
within two years from the issue date, we will pay no more under this contract
than the sum of the premiums paid, minus any contract debt and minus any partial
withdrawals.
Also, for any increase in the face amount, if the Insured, whether sane or
insane, dies by suicide within two years from the effective date of the
increase, we will pay, as to the increase in amount, no more than the sum of the
scheduled premiums that were due for the increase.
Currency.--Any money we pay, or that is paid to us, must be in United States
currency. Any amount we owe will be payable at our Service Office.
Misstatement of Age or Sex.--If the Insured's stated age or sex or both are not
correct, we will adjust each benefit and any amount to be paid to reflect the
correct age and sex. Any death benefit will be based on what the most recent
charge for mortality would have provided at the correct age and sex. Where
required, we have given the insurance regulator a detailed statement of how we
will make these changes.
The Schedule of Premiums may show that premiums change or stop on a certain
date. We may have used that date because the Insured would attain a certain age
on that date. If we find that the issue age was wrong, we will correct that
date.

GENERAL PROVISIONS (Continued)
Incontestability.--Except as we state in the next sentence, we will not contest
this contract after it has been in force during the Insured's lifetime for two
years from the issue date. There are two exceptions: (1) non-payment of enough
premium to provide the required charges; and (2) any change in the contract that
requires our approval and that would increase our liability. For any such
change, we will not contest the change after it has been in effect during the
Insured's lifetime for two years from the date it takes effect.
Assignment.--We will not be deemed to know of an assignment unless we receive
it, or a copy of it, at our Service Office. We are not obliged to see that an
assignment is valid or sufficient.
Annual Report.--Each year we will send you a report. It will show: (1) the
current death benefit; (2) the investment amount; (3) the amount of the
investment amount in each subaccount; (4) the amount in the fixed account; (5)
the net cash value; (6) premiums paid, interest credited and monthly charges
deducted since the last report; (7) any partial withdrawals since the last
report; and (8) any contract debt and the interest on the debt for the prior
year. The report will also include any other data that may be currently required
where this contract is delivered. No report will be sent if this contract is
being continued under extended term insurance.
You may ask for a similar report at some other time during the year. Or you may
request from time to time a report projecting results under your contract on the
basis of premium payment assumptions and assumed investment results. We have the
right to make a reasonable charge for reports such as these that you ask for,
and to limit the scope and frequency of such reports.
Increase in Face Amount at Age 21 for Contracts Issued at Age 14 or Lower.--If
this contract was issued at age 14 or lower, it shows on page 3 an increase in
face amount at attained age 21 which applies if the contract is not then in
default beyond its days of grace. Any references in the contract to face amount
or death benefit which apply at or after attained age 21 will be based upon the
increased face amount, unless otherwise stated.
Payment of Death Claim.--If we settle this contract in one sum as a death claim,
we will usually pay the proceeds within 7 days after we receive at our Service
Office proof of death and any other information we need to pay the claim. But we
have the right to defer paying the excess of the Insurance Amount over the face
amount if (1) the New York Stock Exchange is closed; or (2) the SEC requires
that trading be restricted or declares an emergency.
BASIS OF COMPUTATION
Mortality Tables Described.--Except as we state in the next paragraph, (1) we
base all net premiums and net values to which we refer in this contract on the
Insured's issue age and sex and on the length of time since the contract date;
(2) we use the Commissioners 1980 Standard Ordinary Mortality Table; and (3) we
use continuous functions based on age last birthday.
For extended insurance, we base net premiums and net values on the Commissioners
1980 Extended Term Insurance Table.
Interest Rate.--For all net premiums and net values to which we refer in this
contract we use an effective rate of 4% a year.
Exclusions.--When we compute net values we exclude the value of any
Supplementary Benefits and any other extra benefits added by rider to this
contract.
Values After 20 Contract Years.--Tabular values not shown on page 4 will be the
net level premium reserves, taking into account modified premiums. To compute
them, we will use the mortality tables and interest rate we describe above.
There will be the same exclusions.
Minimum Legal Values.--The cash, loan and other values in this contract are at
least as large as those set by law where it is delivered. Where required, we
have given the insurance regulator a detailed statement of how we compute values
and benefits.

PREMIUM PAYMENT AND REINSTATEMENT
Payment of Premiums.--Premiums may be paid at our Service Office or to any of
our authorized representatives. If we are asked to do so, we will give a signed
receipt.
Premium payments will in most cases be credited as of the date of receipt, to
both the premium account and the contract fund. (See Premium Account, page 9
and Contract Fund, page 14.) Premium credits to the premium account are the full
premiums paid with no deductions. Premium credits to the contract fund are the
invested premium amounts (see page 14). But in the following cases, to the
extent stated, premium payments will be credited as of a date other than the
date of receipt:
1. The first scheduled premium is due on the Contract Date. But if the first
premium payment is received after the Contract Date, the scheduled portion will
be credited to the contract fund and the premium account as of the Contract
Date. And any portion of that first premium payment in excess of the first
scheduled premium will be credited as of the date of receipt. If the first
premium is received before the Contract Date, the entire payment will be
credited as of the Contract Date.
2. If a premium payment is received during the 61 day period after the day when
a scheduled premium was due and had not yet been paid, here is what we will do.
We will determine whether the premium account (see page 9) just before receipt
of that payment was a negative amount. If not--that is, if the premium account
was zero or higher--the premium payment will be credited as of the date of
receipt. But if the premium account was negative, by no more than the scheduled
premium on the due date, that portion of the premium payment required to bring
the premium account up to zero will be credited to the premium account as of the
due date; any remaining portion of the premium payment will be credited to the
premium account as of the date of receipt. If the premium account is negative by
more than the scheduled premium then due, the premium payment will be credited
as of the date of receipt, except in the situation described in 3 below.
3. On each Monthly Date we will determine if the contract is in default. (See
Default on page 9.) We will notify you of the minimum payment amount needed to
bring the contract out of default. If one or more premium payments are made
during the days of grace after that Monthly Date (see Grace Period on page 9),
we will credit to the contract fund and the premium account as of the applicable
Monthly Dates, such parts of the payments as are needed to end the default
status; any remaining part of these premium payments will be credited to the
contract fund and premium account as of the date of receipt.
Scheduled Premiums.--We show the amount and frequency of the scheduled premiums
in the Schedule of Premiums. The first scheduled premium is due on the contract
date. There is no insurance under this contract unless an amount at least equal
to the first scheduled premium is paid.
The scheduled premium shown is the minimum required, at the frequency chosen, to
continue the contract in full force if all scheduled premiums are paid when due,
you make no withdrawals, any interest credited and investment returns are at the
assumed rate, mortality and expense charges are at the maximum rate, and any
contract debt does not exceed the cash value. An increase in the face amount
increases the scheduled premium.
If you wish to pay, on a regular basis, higher premiums than the amount of the
scheduled premiums, we will bill you for the higher amount you choose. Or if you
wish, you may from time to time make a smaller premium payment than the amount
of the scheduled premium, subject to the minimum premium amount shown on page 3.
If scheduled premiums that are due are not paid, or if smaller payments are
made, the contract may then or at some future time go into default. Payment of
less than the scheduled premium increases the risk that the contract will end if
investment results are not favorable. The conditions under which default will
exist are described below.
Unscheduled Premiums.--Except as we state in the next paragraph, unscheduled
premiums may be paid at any time during the Insured's lifetime as long as the
contract is not in default beyond its days of grace. We show on page 3 the
minimum premium we will accept. We have the right to limit unscheduled premiums
to a total of $10,000 in any contract year.
We have the right to refuse any payment that increases the basic amount by more
than it increases the contract fund.
Premium Change on Contract Change Date(s).--We show the Contract Change Date(s)
in the Contract Data pages. We also show in the Schedule of Premiums on these
pages that the amount of each scheduled premium will change on each Contract
Change Date and what the new premium will be. However, when a Contract Change
Date arrives we will recompute a new premium amount to be used in calculating
the premium account. The new premium that we recompute will be no greater than
the new premium for that date which we show in the Contract Data pages. In
addition, if the premium account is less than zero, we will set the premium
account to zero.
(Continued on Next Page)
Page 8 (VALA--86)
II-97
<PAGE>
PREMIUM PAYMENT AND REINSTATEMENT (Continued)
The Schedule of Premiums may also show that the premium changes at other times.
This may occur, for example, with a contract issued with extra benefits or in an
extra rating class if, in either case, this calls for a higher or extra premium
for a limited period of time.
Allocations.--You may allocate all or a part of your invested premium amount to
one or more of the subaccounts and fixed account option(s) listed in the
Contract Data pages. You may choose to allocate nothing to a particular
subaccount or fixed account option. But any allocation you make must be at least
10%; you may not choose a fractional percent.
Example: You may choose a percentage of 0, or 100, or 10, 11, 12, and so on, up
to 90. But you may not choose a percentage of 1 through 9, or 91 through 99, or
any percentage that is not a whole number. The total for all subaccounts must be
100%.
The initial allocation of invested premium amounts (see page 14) is shown in the
Contract Data pages. You may change the allocation for future invested premium
amounts at any time if the contract is not in default. To do so, you must notify
us in writing in a form that meets our needs. The change will take effect on the
date we receive your notice at our Service Office.
A premium might be paid when the contract fund is less than zero. In that case,
when we receive that premium, we first use as much of the invested premium
amount as we need to eliminate the deficit in the contract fund. We will then
allocate any remainder of the invested premium amount in accord with your most
recent request. (We describe contract fund on page 14).
Default.--Unless the contract is already in the grace period, on each Monthly
Date, after we deduct any charges from the contract fund (which we describe on
page 14) and add any credits to it, we will determine whether the contract is in
default. To do so, we will compute the amount which will accrue to the tabular
contract fund on the next Monthly Date if, during the current contract month:
(1) any interest credited and investment returns are at the assumed rate (see
Assumed Rate of Return on page 13); (2) we make the other charges and credits we
have set, including interest on contract debt; and (3) we receive no premiums or
loan repayments, make no loans nor grant any partial withdrawals. We will
compare this amount to the contract fund. If this amount is not more than the
contract fund, the contract is not in default. If this amount is more than the
contract fund, the difference is the fund deficit. In this case the contract is
in default if the premium account, which we define below, is also less than
zero. See Excess Contract Debt on page 19 for another way the contract may end.
Grace Period.--The days of grace begin on any monthly date (other than the
contract date) on which the contract goes into default. We grant 61 days from
the date we mail you a notice of default to make the required payment which we
define below. During the days of grace we will continue to accept premiums and
make the charges we have set. If the monthly date was a scheduled premium due
date, when we receive a premium payment during the days of grace we will first
determine whether it satisfies case 2 under Payment of Premiums above. If it
does, the default will end. If it does not, or if the monthly date when the
contract went into default was not a scheduled premium due date, here is what we
will do:
Within 30 days after any default we will send you a notice that your contract
is in default. We will indicate the minimum payment required to keep your
contract in force and the length of the grace period for payment of such amount.
If at any time during the days of grace, we have received payments that in total
are at least equal to the lesser of (a) the sum of the fund deficit on the date
of default and any additional fund deficits on any subsequent Monthly Dates
since the date of default, and (b) the sum of the amount by which the premium
account is negative on the date of default and any scheduled premiums due since
the date of default, the default will end.
If the contract is still in default when the days of grace are over, it will end
and have no value, except as we state under Contract Value Options (which we
describe on page 16).
If death occurs when the contract is in default during its days of grace, the
death benefit proceeds will be reduced by the amount needed to bring the
contract out of default.
This contract might have an extra benefit that insures someone other than the
Insured. And there might be a claim under that benefit while the Insured is
living and in the days of grace while the contract is in default. In this case,
we will subtract the amount needed to bring the contract out of default when we
settle the claim.
Premium Account.--On the contract date, the premium account is equal to the
premium credited on that date minus the scheduled premium then due. On any other
day, the premium account is equal to:
1. what it was on the prior day; plus
2. if the premium account was greater than zero on the prior day, interest on
the excess at 4% a year; minus
3. if the premium account was less than zero on the prior day, interest on the
amount of the deficit at 4% a year; plus
4. any premium credited on that day; minus
5. any scheduled premium due on that day; minus
6. any partial withdrawals on that day.

PREMIUM PAYMENT AND REINSTATEMENT (Continued)
The contract might be in default, as described above. If so, the premium account
is less than zero. If a premium payment is received on any day during the days
of grace while the contract is in default and the premium account is negative by
no more than one scheduled premium, that payment, to the extent that it is
required to bring the premium account up to zero, will, as we describe under
Payment of Premiums above, be credited to the premium account as of the Monthly
Date when the scheduled premium was due, whether that date is the date of
default or a subsequent Monthly Date. Any remaining portion of the premium
payment will be credited as of the actual date of receipt. In this case the
premium account for all days from the monthly date to the actual date of receipt
will be recalculated.
Reinstatement.--If this contract is still in default after the last day of
grace, you may reinstate it, if all these conditions are met:
1. No more than three years must have elapsed since the date of default.
2. You must not have surrendered the contract for its net cash value.
3. You must give us any facts we need to satisfy us that the insured is
insurable for the contract.
4. We must be paid a premium at least equal to the amount required to bring
the premium account up to zero on the first Monthly Date on which a
scheduled premium is due after the date of reinstatement. From this amount
we will deduct the expense charges from premium payments described in the
Contract Data pages, plus any charges with 4% interest for any extra
benefits, plus any other charges with 4% interest. The contract fund will
be equal to the remainder, plus the cash value of the contract immediately
before reinstatement, plus a refund of that part of any surrender charge
deducted at the time of default which would be charged if the contract were
surrendered immediately after reinstatement.
If we approve, you may be able to reinstate the contract for a premium less
than that described above. We will deduct the same charges and adjust the
contract fund in the same manner. If you do so, the premium account will be
less than zero. You may need to pay more than the scheduled premiums to
guarantee that the contract will not go into default at some future time.
5. If before reinstatement the contract is in force as reduced paid-up
insurance (see page 16), any contract debt under reduced paid-up insurance
must be repaid with interest or carried over to the reinstated contract.
If we approve the reinstatement, these statements apply. The date of
reinstatement will be the date of your request or the date the required premium
is paid, if later. And we will start to make daily and monthly charges and
credits again as of the date of reinstatement.
CHANGING THE FACE AMOUNT AND PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
Face Amount.--The face amount is shown on page 3. It will change if (1) you
increase or decrease it, or (2) you make a partial withdrawal.
Increase in Face Amount.--After the first contract year, you may be able to
increase the face amount once each contract year. Your right to do so is subject
to all these conditions and the paragraph that follows:
1. You must ask for the increase in writing and in a form that meets our
needs; if you are not the Insured and the Insured is age 8 or over, he or
she must sign the form too.
2. The amount of the increase must be at least equal to the minimum increase
in face amount, which we show on page 3.

CHANGING THE FACE AMOUNT AND PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS (Continued)
3. You must give us any facts we need to satisfy us that the Insured is
insurable for the amount of the increase.
4. If we ask you to do so, you must send us the contract to be endorsed.
5. The contract must not be in default.
6. We must not have changed the basis on which benefits and charges are
calculated under newly issued contracts since the Issue Date.
7. You must make any required payment.
8. The insured must be eligible for the same rating class and benefits as
shown on page 3.
9. We must not be waiving premiums in accord with any Waiver of Premium
benefit that may be included in the contract.
An increase will take effect only if we approve your request for it at our
Service Office. If the increase is approved, we will recompute the contract's
scheduled premiums, maximum surrender charges, tabular values, monthly
deductions and expense charges. We will send you new Contract Data pages showing
the amount and effective date of the increase and the recomputed values. If the
insured is not living on the effective date, the increase will not take effect.
Decrease in Face Amount.--After the first contract year, you may be able to
decrease the face amount. Your right to do so is subject to all these conditions
and the paragraphs that follow:
1. You must ask for the decrease in writing and in a form that meets our
needs.
2. The amount of the decrease must be at least equal to the minimum decrease
in face amount, which we show on page 3.
3. The face amount after the decrease must be at least equal to the minimum
face amount, which we show on page 3.
4. It we ask you to do so, you must send us the contract to be endorsed.
A decrease will take effect only if we approve your request for it at our
Service Office. If the decrease is approved, we will recompute the contract's
scheduled premiums, maximum surrender charges, tabular values, monthly
deductions and expense charges. A decrease in face amount may also effect the
amount of any extra benefits this contract might have. We will send you new
Contract Data pages showing the amount and effective date of the decrease and
the recomputed values. If the Insured is not living on the effective date, the
decrease will not take effect.
We may deduct an administrative fee of up to $15.00, and a proportionate part of
any then applicable surrender charge from the contract fund.
Partial Withdrawals.--After the first contract year, you may be able to make
partial withdrawals from the contract. Your right to do so is subject to all
these conditions and the paragraphs that follow:
1. You must ask for the partial withdrawal in writing and in a form that meets
our needs.
2. The amount withdrawn, plus the net cash value after withdrawal, may not be
more than the net cash value before withdrawal.
3. The cash value after withdrawal must not be less than the tabular cash
value for the new face amount.
4. The amount you withdraw must be at least $2,000.
5. You may make up to four partial withdrawals in any contract year.
6. The face amount after the partial withdrawal must be at least equal to the
minimum face amount, which we show on page 3.
7. If we ask you to do so, you must send us the contract to be endorsed.
We may deduct an administrative fee of up to $15.00, and a proportionate part of
any then applicable surrender charge, based on the reduction in the face amount
described below, from the contract fund.
We will decrease the face amount by the amount of the withdrawal. We will
recompute the contract's scheduled premiums, maximum surrender charges, tabular
values, monthly deductions and expense charges. The decrease in face amount may
also affect the amount of any extra benefit this contract might have. We will
send you new Contract Data pages showing the recomputed values.
We will usually pay any partial withdrawal within seven days after we receive
your request and, if we request it, the contract at our Service Office. But we
have the right to deter paying the portion of the proceeds that is to come from
the portion of the contract fund in the PLVAA if (1) the New York Stock Exchange
is closed; or (2) the SEC requires that trading be restricted or declares an
emergency. We have the right to postpone paying you the remainder of the
proceeds for up to six months. If we do so for more than thirty days, we will
pay interest at the rate of 3% a year.
An amount withdrawn may not be repaid, except as an unscheduled premium subject
to charges.
We will tell you how much you may withdraw if you ask us.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT
The Separate Account.--The words separate account, where we use them in this
contract without qualification, mean the Pruco Life Variable Appreciable Account
(PLVAA) and any other separate account that we establish. PLVAA is a unit
investment trust registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of
1940.
We established PLVAA to support variable life insurance contracts. We own the
assets of this separate account: we keep them separate from the assets of our
general account.
Subaccounts.--A separate account may have several subaccounts. We list the
subaccounts in the Contract Data pages. You determine, using percentages, how
invested premium amounts will be allocated among the subaccounts. We may
establish additional subaccounts.
The Fund.--The word fund, where we use it in this contract without
qualification, means the fund we identify in the Contract Data pages. The fund
is registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an
open-end diversified management investment company. The fund has several
portfolios; there is a portfolio that corresponds to each of the subaccounts of
PLVAA. We list these portfolios in the Contract Data pages.
Separate Account Investments.--We use the assets of PLVAA to buy shares in the
fund. Each subaccount of PLVAA is invested in a specific portfolio. Income and
realized and unrealized gains and losses from assets in each of these
subaccounts are credited to, or charged against, that subaccount. This is
without regard to income, gains, or losses in our other investment accounts.
We will determine the value of the assets in PLVAA at the end of each business
day. When we use the term business day, we mean a day when the New York Stock
Exchange is open for trading. We might need to know the value of an asset on a
day that is not a business day or on which trading in that asset does not take
place. In this case, we will use the value of that asset as of the end of the
last prior business day on which trading took place.
Example: It we need to know the value of an asset on a Sunday, we will normally
use the value of the asset as of the end of business on Friday.
We will always keep assets in the separate account with a total value at least
equal to the amount of the investment amounts under contracts like this one. To
the extent those assets do not exceed this amount, we use them only to support
those contracts; we do not use those assets to support any other business we
conduct. We may use any excess over this amount in any way we choose.
If we create additional separate accounts, we may invest the assets in them in a
different way. But we will do so only with the consent of the SEC and, where
required, of the insurance regulator where this contract is delivered.
Change in Investment Policy.--A portfolio of the fund might make a material
change in its investment policy. In that case, we will send you a notice of the
change. Within 60 days after you receive the notice, or within 60 days after the
effective date of the change, if later, you may transfer to the Fixed Account
any amounts in the subaccount investing in that portfolio.
Change of Fund.--A portfolio of the fund might, in our judgment, become
unsuitable for investment by a subaccount. This might happen because of a change
in investment policy, or a change in the laws or regulations, or because the
shares are no longer available for investment, or for some other reason. If that
occurs, we have the right to substitute another portfolio of the fund, or to
invest in a fund other than the one we show in the Contract Data pages. But we
would first seek the consent of the SEC and, where required, the insurance
regulator where this contract is delivered.
FIXED ACCOUNT
The Fixed Account.--If you choose, you may allocate all or part of your invested
premium amount to the fixed account. The fixed account is funded by the general
account of Pruco Life. The fixed account is credited with interest as described
under Guaranteed Interest and Excess Interest on page 14.
Fixed Account Options.--We may have more than one fixed account option. We list
the fixed account option(s) in the Contract Data pages.

TRANSFERS
Transfers Among Subaccounts and into the Fixed Account.--You may transfer
amounts among subaccounts of PLVAA and into the Fixed Account as often as four
times in a contract year if the contract is not in default or if the contract is
being continued under the reduced paid up option. In addition, at any time
within the first two contract years, or within two years of the effective date
of any increase, the entire amount in all subaccounts may be transferred to the
fixed account. If we establish new separate accounts, transfers into or out of
these separate accounts will be allowed only with our consent. To make a
transfer, you must notify us in writing in a form that meets our needs. The
transfer will take effect on the date we receive your notice at our Service
Office.
Transfers Among Fixed Account Options and into the Subaccounts.--You may
transfer amounts among the available Fixed Account Options and into the
subaccounts only with our consent.
INVESTMENT AMOUNT AND ASSUMED RATE OF RETURN
Investment Amount.--The investment amount for this contract is an amount we use
to compute the investment return. The investment amount is allocated among the
subaccounts. The amount of the investment amount and its allocation to
subaccounts depend on (1) how you choose to allocate net premiums; (2) whether
or not you transfer amounts among subaccounts and the fixed account; (3) the
investment performance of the subaccounts to which amounts are allocated or
transferred; (4) the deductions we make from the contract fund; (5) the amount
and timing of premium payments you make; (6) whether or not you take any loan;
and (7) whether or not you make any partial withdrawals or change the face
amount. The investment amount exists only if the contract is not in default past
the days of grace or if it is being continued as reduced paid-up insurance.
The investment amount at any time is equal to the contract fund, minus the
amount of any contract loan and interest accrued on the loan since the last
transaction date, minus the amount in the Fixed Account.
Assumed Rate of Return.--The assumed rate of return is an effective rate of 4% a
year. This is the same as .01074598% a day compounded daily.
Page 13 (VALA--86)
II-102
<PAGE>
INSURANCE AMOUNT
The insurance amount on any date is equal to the greater of (1) the face amount,
which we show on the page 3, plus any excess of the contract fund over the
tabular contract fund, and (2) the contract fund divided by the net single
premium per $1 at the insured's attained age on that date.
CONTRACT FUND
Contract Fund Defined.--On the contract date the contract fund is equal to the
invested premium amounts credited (see below), minus any of the charges
described in items (g) through (m) below which may have been due on that date.
On any day after that the contract fund is equal to what it was on the previous
day, plus any invested premium amounts credited, plus these items:
(a) any increase due to investment results in the value of the subaccounts
to which that portion of the contract fund that is in the investment
amount is allocated;
(b) guaranteed interest at an effective rate of 4% a year on that portion
of the contract fund that is not in the investment amount; and
(c) any excess interest on that portion of the contract fund that is not
in the investment amount;
and minus these items:
(d) any decrease due to investment results in the value of the subaccounts
to which that portion of the contract fund that is in the investment
amount is allocated;
(e) a charge against the investment amount at a rate of not more than
.00163894% a day (.60% a year) for mortality and expense risks that we
assume;
(f) any amount charged against the investment amount for Federal or State
income taxes;
(g) a charge to guarantee the minimum death benefit;
(h) a charge for the cost of expected mortality;
(i) any charges for extra rating class;
(j) any charges for extra benefits;
(k) any charge for administration;
(l) any partial withdrawals; and
(m) any surrender charges and administrative charges that may result from
a partial withdrawal or a decrease in face amount.
We describe under Reinstatement on page 10 what the contract fund will be equal
to on any reinstatement date.
There is no contract fund for a contract in force under extended insurance.
Invested Premium Amount.--This is the portion of each premium paid that we will
add to the contract fund. It is equal to the premium paid minus the expense
charges described in the Contract Data pages under Schedule of Expense Charges
from Premium Payments.
Guaranteed Interest.--We will credit interest each day on that portion of the
contract fund not in the investment amount. We will credit .01074598% a day,
which is equivalent to an effective rate of 4% a year.
Excess Interest.--We may credit interest in addition to the guaranteed interest
on that portion of the contract fund not in the investment amount. The rate of
any excess interest will be determined from time to time and will continue
thereafter until a new rate is determined. We may use different rates of excess
interest for different portions of the contract fund not in the investment
amount. We may from time to time guarantee rates of excess interest on some
portions of the contract fund.
Cost of Expected Mortality.--On each Monthly Date, we will deduct a charge for
the cost of expected mortality. The amount deducted is computed as the annual
mortality rate multiplied by the coverage amount. The coverage amount is the
difference between the adjusted death benefit and the adjusted contract fund.
The adjusted death benefit is equal to the Insurance Amount multiplied by the
Factor for Adjusting the Insurance Amount (see Table of Adjustment Factors). If
the insurance amount equals the face amount, the adjusted contract fund is equal
to the tabular contract fund at the end of the month plus the excess, positive
or negative, of the actual contract fund, after deduction of any charges due on
the Monthly Date, over the tabular contract fund at the beginning of the month,
all multiplied by the Factor for Adjusting the Contract Fund. If the insurance
amount exceeds the face amount, the adjusted contract fund is equal to the net
single premium at the end of the month for the insurance amount on the Monthly
Date, all multiplied by the Factor for Adjusting the Contract Fund. The
adjustment factors depend on the month as shown in the table that follows.

<PAGE>
CONTRACT FUND (Continued)
We will not charge more than the maximum guaranteed rates, which are based on
the Insured's sex and attained age and the mortality table described in the
Basis of Computation. We may charge less. At least once every five years, but
not more often than once a year, we will consider the need to change the rates.
We will change them only if we do so for all contracts like this one dated in
the same year as this one.
Charge for Extra Rating Class.--If there is an extra charge because of the
rating class of the Insured, we will deduct it from the contract fund at the
beginning of each contract month. Any charge is included in the amount shown in
the Contract Data pages under Schedule of Monthly Deductions from the Contract
Fund.
Charge for Extra Benefits.--If the contract has extra benefits, we will deduct
the charges for such benefits from the contract fund at the beginning of each
contract month. Charges for any such extra benefits are included in the amount
shown in the Contract Data pages under Schedule of Monthly Deductions from
Contract Fund.
Charges for Administration and Minimum Death Benefit Guarantee.--On each monthly
date, we will deduct a charge for administration. We will also deduct a charge
for guaranteeing the minimum death benefit regardless of the investment
performance of the separate account. We show the amount of these charges in the
Contract Data pages under Schedule of Monthly Deductions from the Contract Fund.

CONTRACT VALUE OPTIONS
Benefit After the Grace Period.--If the contract is in default beyond its days
of grace, we will use any net cash value (which we describe under Cash Value
Option) to keep the contract in force as one of two kinds of insurance. One kind
is extended insurance. The second kind is reduced paid-up insurance. We describe
each below. You will find under Automatic Benefit which kind it will be. Any
extra benefit(s) will end as soon as the contract is in default past its days of
grace, unless the form that describes the extra benefit states otherwise.
Extended Insurance.--This will be term insurance of a fixed amount on the
Insured's life. We will pay the amount of term insurance if the Insured dies in
the term we describe below. Before the end of the term there will be cash values
but no loan value.
The amount of term insurance will be the death benefit on the day of default,
minus any part of that death benefit which was provided by extra benefits. The
term is a period of time that will start on the day the contract went into
default. The length of the term will be what is provided when we use the net
cash value at the net single premium rate. This rate depends on the Insured's
issue age and sex and on the length of time since the contract date.
There may be extra days of term insurance. This will occur if, on the day the
contract goes into default, the term of extended insurance provided by the net
cash value does not exceed 90 days, or the number of days the contract was in
force before the default began, if less. The number of extra days will be (1)
90, or the number of days the contract was in force before the default began, if
less, minus (2) the number of days of extended insurance that would be provided
by the net cash value if there were no contract debt. The extra days, if any.
start on the day after the last day of term insurance provided by the net cash
value, if any. If there is no such term insurance, the extra days start on the
day the contract goes into default. The term insurance for the extra days has no
cash value. There will be no extra days if you replace the extended insurance
with reduced paid-up insurance or you surrender the contract before the extra
days start.
Reduced Paid-up Insurance.--This will be paid-up variable life insurance on the
Insured's life. The death benefit may change from day to day, as we explain
below, but if there is no contract debt, it will not be less than a minimum
guaranteed amount. There will be cash values and loan values.
The minimum guaranteed amount of insurance will be computed by using the net
cash value at the net single premium rate determined as of the day the contract
went into default. The net single premium rate depends on the Insured's issue
age and sex and on the length of time since the contract date. The amount
payable in the event of death thereafter will be the greater of (a) the minimum
guaranteed amount and (b) the contract fund divided by the net single premium
per $1 at the Insured's attained age. In either case the amount will be adjusted
for any contract debt.
Except when it is provided as the automatic benefit, (see below), the reduced
paid-up insurance option will be available only when the guaranteed death
benefit under the option will be $5000 or more.
If we issued the contract in a rating class for which we do not provide extended
insurance, you may not allocate the contract fund of the reduced paid-up
insurance to any subaccount without our consent.
Computations.--We will make all computations for either of these benefits as of
the date the contract goes into default. But we will consider any loan you take
out or pay back or any premium payments or partial withdrawals you make in the
days of grace.
Automatic Benefit.--When the contract is in default, it will stay in force as
extended insurance. But it will stay in force as reduced paid-up insurance if
either of these statements applies: (1) We issued the contract in a rating class
for which we do not provide extended insurance; in this case the phrase No
Extended Insurance is in the Rating Class in the Contract Data pages. (2) The
amount of reduced paid-up insurance would be at least as great as the amount of
extended term insurance.
Optional Benefit.--You may choose to replace any extended insurance that has a
net cash value by reduced paid-up insurance. To make this choice, you must do so
in writing to us in a form that meets our needs, not more than three months
after the date the contract goes into default. You must also send the contract
to us to be endorsed.
(Continued on Next Page)

<PAGE>
CONTRACT VALUE OPTIONS (Continued)
Cash Value Option.--You may surrender this contract for its net cash value. The
net cash value at any time is the cash value at that time, less any contract
debt. To surrender this contract, you must ask us in writing in a form that
meets our needs. You must also send the contract to us. Here is how we will
compute the cash value for surrender of the contract or for its continuation
under extended insurance or reduced paid-up insurance.
1. If the contract is not in default: The cash value on surrender is the
contract fund, minus any surrender charge, consisting of a deferred sales charge
and a deferred underwriting and issue charge. The schedule of Maximum Surrender
Charges for this contract is in the Contract Data pages.
2. If the contract is in default during its days of grace: We will compute the
net cash value as of the date the contract went into default. But we will adjust
this value for any loan you take out or pay back, and any premium payments,
partial withdrawals or decreases in face amount you make in the days of grace.
3. If the contract is in default beyond its days of grace: The net cash value as
of any date will be the net value on that date of any extended insurance benefit
then in force. Or it will be the net value on that date of any reduced paid-up
insurance benefit then in force, less any contract debt.
Within 30 days after a contract anniversary, the net cash value of any extended
insurance will not be less than the value on that anniversary.
We will usually pay any cash value within seven days after we receive your
request and the contract at our Service Office. But we have the right to defer
paying the portion of the proceeds that is to come from the portion of the
contract fund in the PLVAA if (1) the New York Stock Exchange is closed; or (2)
the SEC requires that trading be restricted or declares an emergency. We have
the right to postpone paying you the remainder of the proceeds for up to six
months. If we do so for more than thirty days, we will pay interest at the rate
of 3% a year.
Tabular Values.--We show tabular contract fund values and tabular cash values at
the end of contract years in the Contract Data pages. The tabular contract fund
at the end of any contract year is the amount which will then be in the contract
fund if all scheduled premiums have been paid on their due dates, there have
been no unscheduled premiums paid, there is no contract debt, the subaccounts
you have chosen earn exactly the assumed rate of return, we have credited no
excess interest, and we have deducted the maximum mortality and expense charges.
The tabular cash values are the amounts which, under the same conditions, will
then be used to provide extended insurance or reduced paid-up insurance or will
be paid in cash, if the maximum surrender charges are applied. The tabular cash
value shown is equal to the tabular contract fund value as of the same date
after deducting any surrender charges (at the maximum rate) from the tabular
contract fund value. (See Cash Value Option above.)
If we need to compute tabular values at some time during a contract year, we
will count the time since the start of the year. We will let you know the
tabular values for other durations if you ask for them.

II-106
<PAGE>
LOANS
Loan Requirements.--After the first anniversary, you may borrow from us on the
contract. All these conditions must be met:
1. The Insured is living.
2. The contract is in force other than as extended insurance.
3. The contract debt will not be more than the loan value. (We explain these
terms below.)
4. As sole security for the loan, you assign the contract to us in a form that
meets our needs.
5. Except when used to pay premiums on this contract, the amount you borrow at
anyone time must be at least $500.
If there is already contract debt when you borrow from us, we will add the new
amount you borrow to that debt.
Contract Debt.--Contract debt at any time means the loan on the contract, plus
the interest we have charged that is not yet due and that we have not yet added
to the loan.
Loan Value.--You may borrow any amount up to the difference between the loan
value and any existing contract debt. At any time the loan value is 90% of the
cash value.
There is one exception. If the contract is in default, the loan value during the
days of grace is what it was on the date of default.
Example 1: Suppose the contract has a loan value of $6,000. About eight months
ago you borrowed $1,500. By now there is interest of $55 charged but not yet
due. The contract debt is now $1,555, which is made up of the $1,500 loan and
the $55 interest.
Example 2: Suppose, in example 1, you want to borrow all that you can. We will
lend you $4,445 which is the difference between the $6,000 loan value and the
$1,555 contract debt. This will increase the contract debt to $6,000. We will
add the new amount borrowed to the existing loan and will charge interest on it,
too.
Interest Charge.--You may select either the Fixed Loan Rate Option or the
Variable Loan Rate Option. Both are described below. We show on page 3 the
option you have selected. You may request a change to the loan rate option at
anytime. If we agree, we will tell you the effective date of the change.
Fixed Loan Rate Option.--We charge interest daily on any loan at the effective
rate of 5 1/2% a year. Interest is due on each contract anniversary, or when the
loan is paid back if that comes first. If interest is not paid when due. it
becomes part of the loan. Then we start to charge interest on it, too.
Example 3: Suppose the contract date is in 1987. Six months before the
anniversary in 1996 you borrow $1,600 out of a $4,000 loan value. We charge
5 1/2% a year. Three months later, but still three months before the
anniversary, we will have charged about $22 interest. This amount will be a few
cents more or less than $22 since some months have more days than others. The
interest will not be due until the anniversary unless the loan is paid back
sooner. The loan will still be $1,600. The contract debt will be $1,622, since
contract debt includes interest charged but not yet due.
On the anniversary in 1996 we will have charged about $44 interest. The interest
will then be due.
Example 4: Suppose the $44 interest in example 3 was paid on the anniversary.
The loan and contract debt each became $1,600 right after the payment.
Example 5: Suppose the $44 interest in example 3 was not paid on the
anniversary. The interest became part of the loan, and we began to charge
interest on it, too. The loan and contract debt each became $1,644.
Variable Loan Rate Option.--We charge interest daily on any loan. Interest is
due on each contract anniversary, or when the loan is paid back it that comes
first. If interest is not paid when due, it becomes part of the loan. Then we
start to charge interest on it, too.
The loan interest rate is the annual rate we set from time to time. The rate
will never be greater than is permitted by law. It will change only on a
contract anniversary.
Before the start of each contract year, we will determine the loan interest rate
we can charge for that contract year.
To do this, we will first find the rate that is the greater of (1) The Published
Monthly Average (which we describe below) for the calendar month ending two
months before the calendar month of the contract anniversary; and (2) 5%.
If that greater rate is at least 1/2% more than the loan interest rate we had
set for the current contract year, we have the right to increase the loan
interest rate by at least 1/2%, up to that greater rate. If it is at least 4%
less, we will decrease the loan interest rate to be no more than the greater
rate. We will not change the loan interest rate by less than 1/2%.
(Continued on Next Page)
Page 18 (VALA--86)
II-107
<PAGE>
LOANS (Continued)
When you make a loan we will tell you the initial interest rate for the loan. We
will send you a notice it there is to be an increase in the rate.
The Published Monthly Average means:
1. Moody's Corporate Bond Yield Average--Monthly Average Corporates, as
published by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or any successor to that service;
or
2. If that average is no longer published, a substantially similar average,
established by the insurance regulator where this contract is delivered.
Repayment.--All or part of any contract debt may be paid back at any time while
the Insured is living. When we settle the contract, any contract debt is due us.
If there is contract debt at the end of the last day of grace when the contract
is in default, it will be deducted from the cash value to determine the net cash
value. We will make this adjustment so that the proceeds will not include the
amount of that debt.
Effect of a Loan.--When you take a loan, the amount of the loan continues to be
a part of the contract fund and continues to be credited with interest at the
guaranteed rate of 4% a year. If you have selected the Variable Loan Rate
Option, we will credit excess interest at an effective rate of not less than the
loan interest rate for the contract year less 5 1/2%. However, we will reduce
the portion of the contract fund allocated to the separate account and the fixed
account by the amount you borrow, and by loan interest that becomes part of the
loan because it is not paid when due.
On each transaction date, if there is a contract loan outstanding, we will
increase the portion of the contract fund in the fixed account and the separate
account by interest credits accrued on the loan since the last transaction date.
When you repay part or all of a loan we will increase the portion of the
contract fund in the separate account and the fixed account by the amount of
loan you repay, plus interest credits accrued on the loan since the last
transaction date. We will not increase the portion of the contract fund
allocated to the separate account and the fixed account by loan interest that is
paid before we make it part of the loan.
Only the amount of the investment amount will reject the investment results of
the subaccounts. Since the amount you borrow is removed from the portion of the
contract fund allocated to the separate account and the fixed account, a loan
may have a permanent effect on the net cash value of this contract and also on
any death benefit in excess of the guaranteed death benefit. The longer the loan
is outstanding, the greater this effect is likely to be.
Excess Contract Debt.--If contract debt ever becomes equal to or more than the
cash value, all the contract's benefits will end 61 days after we mail a notice
to you and any assignee of whom we know. Also. we may send a notice to the
Insured's last known address. In the notice we will state the amount that, if
paid to us, will keep the contract's benefits from ending for a limited time.
Postponement of Loan.--We will usually make a loan within seven days after we
receive your request at our Service Office. But we have the right to defer
making the portion of the loan that is to come from the portion of the contract
fund in the PLVAA if (1) the New York Stock Exchange is closed; or (2) the SEC
requires that trading be restricted or declares an emergency. We have the right
to postpone paying you the remainder of the proceeds of a loan for up to six
months, unless it will be used to pay premiums on this or other contracts with
us.

SETTLEMENT OPTIONS
Payee Defined.--In these provisions and under the Automatic Mode of Settlement,
the word Payee means a person who has a right to receive a settlement under the
contract. Such a person may be the Insured, the owner, a beneficiary, or a
contingent payee.
Choosing an Option.--A Payee may choose an option for all or part of any
proceeds or residue that becomes payable to him or her in one sum. We describe
residue later on this page.
In some cases, a Payee will need our consent to choose an option. We describe
these cases under Conditions.
Options Described.--Here are the options we offer. We may also consent to other
arrangements.
Life Income Option.--We will make equal monthly payments for as long as the
person on whose life the settlement is based lives, with payments certain for a
10-year period (10-Year Certain). The amount of each payment will be based on
the Life Income Option Table and on the sex and age, on the due date of the
first payment, of the person on whose life the settlement is based. That person
must be a Payee. But if a choice is made more than two years after the Insured's
death, we may use the Life Income Option payment rates in individual annuity
contracts or life insurance contracts we regularly issue, based on United States
currency, on the due date of the first payment. On request, we will quote the
payment rates in contracts we then issue. We must have proof of the date of
birth of the person on whose life the settlement is based. If on the due date of
the first payment under this option, we have declared a higher payment rate
under the option, we will base the payments on that higher rate.
Interest Payment Option.--We will hold an amount at interest. We will pay
interest at an effective rate of at least 3% a year ($30.00 annually, $14.89
semi-annually, $7.42 quarterly or $2.47 monthly per $1,000). We may pay more
interest.
Supplemental Life Annuity Option.--Any Payee may choose to receive all or part
of the proceeds of this contract in the form of payments like those of any
annuity or life annuity we then regularly issue. But that annuity must (1) be
based on United States currency; (2) be bought by a single sum; (3) not provide
for dividends; and (4) not normally provide for deferral of the first payment.
For purposes of this option only, the words we, our and us include our parent
company, The Prudential Insurance Company of America, which has agreed to make
settlements under this option.
The payment will be at least what we would pay under the chosen kind of annuity
with its first payment due on its contract date.
The phrase regularly issue does not include contracts that are used to qualify
for special federal income tax treatment as a retirement plan unless this
contract has been issued as part of such a plan. At least one of the persons on
whose life this Option is based must be a Payee. We must have proof of the date
of birth of any person on whose life the option is based. This Option cannot be
chosen more than 30 days before the due date of the first payment. On request,
we will quote the payment that would apply for any amount placed under the
option at that time.
First Payment Due Date.--Unless a different date is stated when the option is
chosen: (1) the first payment for the Interest Payment Option will be due at the
end of the chosen payment interval; and (2) the first payment for any of the
other options will be due on the date the option takes effect.
Residue Described. For the Life Income Option and the Supplemental Life Annuity
Option, residue on any date means the then present value of any unpaid payments
certain. For the Life Income Option, we will compute it at an effective interest
rate of 3 1/2% a year. But we will use the interest rate we used to compute the
actual Life Income Option payments if they were not based on the table in this
contract. For the Supplemental Life Annuity Option, we will use the interest
rate we would use for the chosen kind of annuity with the same provisions as to
withdrawal.
For the Interest Payment Option, residue on any date means any unpaid balance
with interest to that date.
For the Life Income Option and the Supplemental Life Annuity Option, residue
does not include the value of any payment that may become due after the certain
period.
Withdrawal of Residue.--Unless otherwise stated when the option is chosen: (1)
under the Life Income Option and the Supplemental Life Annuity Option the
residue may be withdrawn; and (2) under the Interest Payment Option all, or any
part not less than $100, of the residue may be withdrawn. If the Interest
Payment Option residue is reduced to less than $1,000, we have the right to pay
it in one sum. Under the Life Income Option and the Supplemental Life Annuity
Option, withdrawal of the residue will not affect any payments that may become
doe after the certain period; the value of those payments cannot be withdrawn.
Instead, the payments will start again if they were based on the life of a
person who lives past the certain period.

<PAGE>
SETTLEMENT OPTIONS (Continued)
Designating Contingent Payee(s)--A Payee under an option has the right, unless
otherwise stated, to name or change a contingent payee to receive any residue at
the Payee's death. This may be done only if (1) the Payee has the full right to
withdraw the residue; or (2) the residue would otherwise have been payable to
that Payee's estate at death.
A payee who has the right may choose, or change the choice of, an option for all
or part of the residue. In some cases, the Payee will need our consent to choose
or change an option. We describe these cases under Conditions.
Any request to exercise any of these rights must be in writing and in a form
that meets our needs. It will take effect only when we file it at our Service
Office. Then the interest of anyone who is being removed will end as of the date
of the request, even if the Payee who made the request is not living when we
file it.
Changing Options.--A Payee under the Interest Payment Option may choose another
option for any sum that the Payee could withdraw on the date the chosen option
is to start. That date may be before the date the Payee makes the choice only if
we consent. In some cases, the Payee will need our consent to choose or change
an option. We describe these cases next.
Conditions.--Under any of these conditions, our consent is needed for an option
to be used for any person:
1. The person is not a natural person who will be paid in his or her own
right.
2. The person will be paid as assignee.
3. The amount to be held for the person under the Interest Payment Option is
less than $1,000. But we will hold any amount for at least one year in
accord with the Automatic Mode of Settlement.
4. Each payment to the person under the option would be less than $20.
5. The option is for residue arising other than at (a) the Insured's death, or
(b) the death of the beneficiary who was entitled to be paid as of the date
of the Insured's death.
6. The option is for proceeds that arise other than from the Insured's death,
and we are settling with an owner or any other person who is not the
Insured.
Death of Payee.--If a Payee under an option dies and if no other distribution is
shown, we will pay any residue under that option in one sum to the Payee's
estate.
AUTOMATIC MODE OF SETTLEMENT
Applicability.--These provisions apply to proceeds arising from the Insured's
death and payable in one sum to a Payee who is a beneficiary. They do not apply
to any periodic payment.
Interest on Proceeds.--We will hold the proceeds at interest under Interest
Payment Option of the Settlement Options provision. The Payee may withdraw the
residue. We will pay it promptly on request. We will pay interest annually
unless we agree to pay it more often. We have the right to pay the residue in
one sum after one year if (1) the Payee is not a natural person who will be paid
in his or her own right; (2) the Payee will be paid as assignee; or (3) the
original amount we hold under Interest Payment Option for the Payee is less than
$1,000.
Settlement at Payee's Death.--If the Payee dies and leaves an Interest Payment
Option residue, we will honor any contingent payee provision then in effect. If
there is none, here is what we will do. We will look to the beneficiary
designation of the contract; we will see what other beneficiary(ies), if any,
would have been entitled to the portion of the proceeds that produced the
Interest Payment Option residue if the Insured had not died until immediately
after the Payee died. Then we will pay the residue in one sum to such other
beneficiary(ies}, in accord with that designation. But if, as stated in that
designation, payment would be due the estate of someone else, we will instead
pay the estate of the Payee.
Example: Suppose the class 1 beneficiary is Jane and the class 2 beneficiaries
are Paul and John. Jane was living when the Insured died. Jane later died
without having chosen an option or naming someone other than Paul and John as
contingent payee. If Paul and John are living at Jane's death we owe them the
residue. If only one of them is living then, and if the contract called for
payment to the survivor of them, we owe him the residue. It neither of them is
living then, we owe Jane's estate.
Spendthrift and Creditor.--A beneficiary or contingent payee may not, at or
after the Insured's death, assign, transfer, or encumber any benefit payable. To
the extent allowed by law, the benefits will not be subject to the claims of any
creditor of any beneficiary or contingent payee.

BENEFICIARY
You may designate or change a beneficiary. Your request must be in writing and
in a form that meets our needs. It will take effect only when we file it at our
Service Office; this will be after you send the contract to us to be endorsed,
if we ask you to do so. Then any previous beneficiary's interest will end as of
the date of the request. It will end then even if the Insured is not living when
we file the request. Any beneficiary's interest is subject to the rights of any
assignee of whom we know.
When a beneficiary is designated, any relationship shown is to the Insured,
unless otherwise stated. To show priority, we may use numbered classes, so that
the class with first priority is called class 1, the class with next priority
is called class 2, and soon. When we use numbered classes, these statements
apply to beneficiaries unless the form states otherwise;
1. One who survives the Insured will have the right to be paid only if no one
in a prior class survives the Insured.
2. One who has the right to be paid will be the only one paid if no one else
in the same class survives the Insured.
3. Two or more in the same class who have the right to be paid will be paid in
equal shares.
4. If none survives the Insured, we will pay in one sum to the Insured's
estate.
Example: Suppose the class 1 beneficiary is Jane and the class 2 beneficiaries
are Paul and John. We owe Jane the proceeds if she is living at the Insured's
death. We owe Paul and John the proceeds if they are living then but Jane is
not. But if only one of them is living, we owe him the proceeds. If none of them
is living we owe the Insured's estate.
Beneficiaries who do not have a right to be paid under these terms may still
have a right to be paid under the Automatic Mode of Settlement.
Before we make a payment, we have the right to decide what proof we need of the
identity, age or any other facts about any persons designated as beneficiaries.
It beneficiaries are not designated by name and we make payment(s) based on that
proof, we will not have to make the payment(s) again.

26. CHANGES MADE BY THE COMPANY. (Not applicable in West Virginia)
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the best of the knowledge and belief of those who sign below, the statements in this application are complete and true. It is
understood that, if any of the above statements (for example, the smoking data) is a material misrepresentation, coverage could be
invalidated as a result. The beneficiary named in the appliacation is for insurance payable upon death of (1) the Insured, and (2)
an insured child after the death of the Insured if there is no insured spouse.
When the Company gives a Limited Insurance Agreement form, ORD 84376A-86, of the same date as this Part 1, coverage will start as
shown in that form. Otherwise, no coverage will start unless: (1) a contract is issued, (2) it is accepted, and (3) the full first
premium is paid while all persons to be covered are living and their health remains as stated in Parts 1 and 2. If all these take
place, coverage will start on the contract date. If the Company makes a change as indicated in 26 it will be approved by acceptance
of the contract. But where the law requires written consent for any change in the application, such change can be made only if those
who sign this form approve the change in writing. No agent can make or change a contract, or waive any of the Company's rights or
needs.
OWNERSHIP: Unless otherwise asked for above, the owner of the contract will be (1) the applicant if other than the proposed Insured,
otherwise (2) the proposed Insured. But this is subject to any automatic transfer of ownership stated in the contract.

CONTRACT SUMMARY
We offer this summary to help you understand this contract. We do not intend
that it change any of the provisions of the contract.
This is a contract of life insurance. Premiums are to be paid throughout the
Insured's lifetime. We specify a schedule of premiums that will keep the
contract in force. Additional premiums may be paid at your option, subject to
limits in the contract. The death benefit and the cash value will vary with the
payment of premiums, the investment performance of the Separate Account
subaccounts that you select, the interest credited to any portion of the
contract fund not allocated to the subaccounts, and the mortality and expense
charges deducted.
The face amount shown on page 3 is the guaranteed death benefit. The death
benefit will not decrease below the guaranteed death benefit if the contract is
not in default past its days of grace and there is no contract debt. (We
describe on page 9 the way the contract can go into default.) Subject to certain
requirements, you may increase or decrease the face amount. If the contract
remains in default past its days of grace the contract may end or it may stay
in force with reduced benefits. If either occurs, you may be able to reinstate
its full benefits.
Proceeds is a word we use to mean the amount we would pay if we were to settle
the contract in one sum. To compute the proceeds that may arise from the
Insured's death, we start with a basic amount. We may adjust that amount if
there is a loan or if the contract is in default. The table on page 23 tells
what the basic amount is. The amount depends on how the contract is in force.
The table will refer you to the parts of the contract that tell you how we
adjust the basic amount. If you surrender the contract, the proceeds will be the
net cash value. We describe it under Cash Value Option on page 17.
Proceeds often are not taken in one sum. For instance, on surrender, you may be
able to put proceeds under a settlement option to provide retirement income or
for some other purpose. Also, for all or part of the proceeds that arise from
the Insured's death, you may be able to choose a manner of payment for the
beneficiary. If an option has not been chosen, the beneficiary may be able to
choose one. We will pay interest under the Interest Payment Option from the date
of death on any proceeds to which no other manner of payment applies. This will
be automatic as we state on page 21. There is no need to ask for it
You and we may agree on a change in the ownership of this contract. Also, unless
we endorse it to say otherwise, the contract gives you these rights, subject to
certain limitations and requirements:
o You may change the beneficiary under it.
o You may borrow on it up to its loan value.
o You may surrender it for its net cash value.
o You may change the allocation of future net premiums among the subaccounts
and the fixed account.
o You may transfer amounts among subaccounts and the fixed account.
o You may change the face amount.
o You may withdraw a portion of the contract's value.
The contract, as issued, may or may not have extra benefits that we call
Supplementary Benefits. If it does, we list them under Supplementary Benefits on
the Contract Data pages and describe them after page 24. The contract may or may
not have other extra benefits. If it does, we add them by rider. Any extra
benefit ends as soon as the contract is in default past its days of grace,
unless the form that describes it states otherwise.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
Definitions.--We define here some of the words and phrases used all through this
contract. We explain others, not defined here, in other parts of the text.
We, Our, Us and Company -- Pruco Life Insurance Company, an Arizona Corporation.
You and Your.--The owner of the Contract.
Insured.--The person named as the Insured on the first page. He or she need not
be the owner.
Example: Suppose we issue a contract on the life of your spouse. You applied for
it and named no one else as owner. Your spouse is the Insured and you are the
owner.
SEC.--The Securities and Exchange Commission.
PLVAA.-- The Pruco Life Variable Appreciable Account.
Issue Date.--The contract date.
Monthly Date.--The contract date and the same day as the contract date in each
later month.
Example: If the contract date is March 9, 1986, the Monthly Dates are each March
9, April 9, May 9 and so on.
Anniversary or Contract Anniversary.--The same day and month as the contract
date in each later year.
Example: If the contract date is March 9, 1986, the first anniversary is March
9, 1987. The second is March 9, 1988, and so on.
Contract Year.--A year that starts on the contract date or on an anniversary.
Example: If the contract date is March 9, 1986, the first contract year starts
then and ends on March 8, 1987. The second starts on March 9, 1987 and ends on
March 8, 1988, and so on.
Contract Month.--A month that starts on a Monthly Date.
Example: If March 9, 1986 is a Monthly Date, a contract month starts then and
ends on April 8, 1986. The next contract month starts on April 9, 1986 and ends
on May 8, 1986, and so on.
Attained Age.--The Insured's attained age at any time is the issue age plus the
length of time since the contract date. You will find the issue age near the top
of page 3.
The Contract.--This policy, and the attached copy of the initial application
together with copies of any subsequent applications to change the policy, and
any additional Contract Data pages added to this policy, form the whole
contract. We assume that all statements in the application were made to the best
of the knowledge and belief of the person(s) who made them; in the absence of
fraud they are deemed to be representations and not warranties. We relied on
those statements when we issued the contract. We will not use any statement,
unless made in the application, to try to void the contract or to deny a claim.
Contract Modifications.--Only a Company officer with the rank or title of Vice
President or above may agree to modify this contract, and then only in writing.
Non-participating.--This contract will not share in our profits or surplus
earnings. We will pay no dividends on it.
Service Office.--This is the office that will service this contract. Its mailing
address is the one we show on the Contract Data pages, unless we notify you of
another one.
Ownership and Control.--Unless we endorse this contract to say otherwise: (1)
the owner of the contract is the Insured; and (2) while the Insured is living
the owner alone is entitled to (a) any contract benefit and value, and (b) the
exercise of any right and privilege granted by the contract or by us.
Suicide Exclusion.--If the Insured, whether sane or insane, dies by suicide
within two years from the issue date, we will pay no more under this contract
than the sum of the premiums paid, minus any contract debt and minus any partial
withdrawals.
Also, for any increase in the face amount, if the Insured, whether sane or
insane, dies by suicide within two years from the effective date of the
increase, we will pay, as to the increase in amount, no more than the sum of the
scheduled premiums that were due for the increase.
Currency.--Any money we pay, or that is paid to us, must be in United States
currency. Any amount we owe will be payable at our Service Office.
Misstatement of Age or Sex.--If the Insured's stated age or sex or both are not
correct, we will adjust each benefit and any amount to be paid to reflect the
correct age and sex. Any death benefit will be based on what the most recent
charge for mortality would have provided at the correct age and sex. Where
required, we have given the insurance regulator a detailed statement of how we
will make these changes.
The Schedule of Premiums may show that premiums change or stop on a certain
date. We may have used that date because the Insured would attain a certain age
on that date. If we find that the issue age was wrong, we will correct that
date.

<PAGE>
GENERAL PROVISIONS (Continued)
Incontestability.--Except as we state in the next sentence, we will not contest
this contract after it has been in force during the Insured's lifetime for two
years from the issue date. There are two exceptions: (1) non-payment of enough
premium to provide the required charges; and (2) any change in the contract that
requires our approval and that would increase our liability. For any such
change, we will not contest the change after it has been in effect during the
Insured's lifetime for two years from the date it takes effect.
Assignment.--We will not be deemed to know of an assignment unless we receive
it, or a copy of it, at our Service Office. We are not obliged to see that an
assignment is valid or sufficient.
Annual Report.--Each year we will send you a report. It will show: (1) the
current death benefit; (2) the investment amount; (3) the amount of the
investment amount in each subaccount; (4) the amount in the fixed account; (5)
the net cash value; (6) premiums paid, interest credited and monthly charges
deducted since the last report; (7) any partial withdrawals since the last
report; and (8) any contract debt and the interest on the debt for the prior
year. The report will also include any other data that may be currently required
where this contract is delivered. No report will be sent if this contract is
being continued under extended term insurance.
You may ask for a similar report at some other time during the year. Or you may
request from time to time a report projecting results under your contract on the
basis of premium payment assumptions and assumed investment results. We have the
right to make a reasonable charge for reports such as these that you ask for,
and to limit the scope and frequency of such reports.
Increase in Face Amount at Age 21 for Contracts Issued at Age 14 or Lower.--If
this contract was issued at age 14 or lower, it shows on page 3 an increase in
face amount at attained age 21 which applies if the contract is not then in
default beyond its days of grace. Any references in the contract to face amount
or death benefit which apply at or after attained age 21 will be based upon the
increased face amount, unless otherwise stated.
Payment of Death Claim.--If we settle this contract in one sum as a death claim,
we will usually pay the proceeds within 7 days after we receive at our Service
Office proof of death and any other information we need to pay the claim. But we
have the right to defer paying portion of the proceeds greater than the minimum
guaranteed death benefit that is to come from the subaccounts if (1) the New
York Stock Exchange is closed; or (2) the SEC requires that trading be
restricted or declares an emergency.
BASIS OF COMPUTATION
Mortality Tables Described.--Except as we state in the next paragraph, (1) we
base all net premiums and net values to which we refer in this contract on the
Insured's issue age and sex and on the length of time since the contract date;
(2) we use the Commissioners 1980 Standard Ordinary Mortality Table; and (3) we
use continuous functions based on age last birthday.
For extended insurance, we base net premiums and net values on the Commissioners
1980 Extended Term Insurance Table.
Interest Rate.--For all net premiums and net values to which we refer in this
contract we use an effective rate of 4% a year.
Exclusions.--When we compute net values we exclude the value of any
Supplementary Benefits and any other extra benefits added by rider to this
contract.
Values After 20 Contract Years.--Tabular values not shown on page 4 will be the
net level premium reserves, taking into account modified premiums. To compute
them, we will use the mortality tables and interest rate we describe above.
There will be the same exclusions.
Minimum Legal Values.--The cash, loan and other values in this contract are at
least as large as those set by law where it is delivered. Where required, we
have given the insurance regulator a detailed statement of how we compute values
and benefits.

PREMIUM PAYMENT AND REINSTATEMENT
Payment of Premiums.--Premiums may be paid at our Service Office or to any of
our authorized representatives. If we are asked to do so, we will give a signed
receipt.
Premium payments will in most cases be credited as of the date of receipt, to
both the premium account and the contract fund. (See Contract Fund, page 14 and
Premium Account, page 9.) Premium credits to the premium account are the full
premium paid with no deductions. Premium credits to the contract fund are the
invested premium amounts (see page 14). But in the following cases, to the
extent stated, premium payments will be credited as of a date other than the
date of receipt:
1. The first scheduled premium is due on the Contract Date. But if the first
premium payment is received after the Contract Date, the scheduled portion will
be credited to the contract fund and the premium account as of the Contract
Date. And any portion of that first premium payment in excess of the first
scheduled premium will be credited as of the date of receipt. If the first
premium is received before the Contract Date, the entire payment will be
credited as of the Contract Date.
2. If a premium payment is received during the 61 day period after the day when
a scheduled premium was due and had not yet been paid, here is what we will do.
We will determine whether the premium account, (see page 9), just before receipt
of that payment was a negative amount. If not--that is, if the premium account
was zero or higher--the premium payment will be credited as of the date of
receipt. But if the premium account was negative by no more than the scheduled
premium on the due date, that portion of the premium payment required to bring
the premium account up to zero will be credited to the premium account as of the
due date; any remaining portion of the premium payment will be credited to the
premium account as of the date of receipt. If the premium account is negative by
more than the scheduled premium then due, the premium payment will be credited
as of the date of receipt, except in the situation described in 3 below.
3. On each Monthly Date we will determine if the contract is in default. (See
Default on page 9.) We will notify you of the minimum payment amount needed to
bring the contract out of default. If one or more premium payments are made
during the days of grace after that Monthly Date (see Grace Period on page 9),
we will credit to the contract fund and the premium account, as of the
applicable Monthly Dates, such parts of the payments as are needed to end the
default status; any remaining part of these premium payments will be credited to
the contract fund and premium account as of the date of receipt.
Scheduled Premiums.--We show the amount and frequency of the scheduled premiums
in the Schedule of Premiums. The first scheduled premium is due on the contract
date. There is no insurance under this contract unless an amount at least equal
to the first scheduled premium is paid.
The scheduled premium shown is the minimum required, at the frequency chosen, to
continue the contract in full force if you pay all scheduled premiums when due,
you make no withdrawals, any interest credited and investment returns are at the
assumed rate, mortality and expense charges are at the maximum rate and any
contract debt does not exceed the cash value. An increase in the face amount
increases the scheduled premium.
If you wish to pay, on a regular basis, higher premiums than the amount of the
scheduled premiums, we will bill you for the higher amount you choose. Or if you
wish, you may from time to time make a smaller premium payment than the amount
of the scheduled premium, subject to the minimum premium amount shown on page 3.
If scheduled premiums that are due are not paid, or if smaller payments are
made, the contract may then or at some future time go into default. Payment of
less than the scheduled premium increases the risk that the contract will end if
investment results are not favorable. The conditions under which default will
exist are described below.
Unscheduled Premiums.--Except as we state in the next paragraph, unscheduled
premiums may be paid at any time during the Insured's lifetime, as long as the
contract is not in default beyond its days of grace. We show on page 3 the
minimum premium we will accept. We have the right to limit unscheduled premiums
to a total of $10,000 in any contract year.
We have the right to refuse any payment that increases the insurance amount by
more than it increases the contract fund.
Premium Change on Contract Change Date(s).--We show the Contract Change Date(s)
in the Contract Data pages. We also show in the Schedule of Premiums on page 3
that the amount of each scheduled premium will change on each Contract Change
Date and what the new premium will be. However, when a Contract Change Date
arrives we will recompute a new premium amount to be used in calculating the
premium account. The new premium that we recompute will be no greater than the
new premium for that date which we show on page 3. In addition, if the premium
account is less than zero, we will set the premium account to zero.
(Continued on Next Page)
Page 8 (VALB--86)
II-129
<PAGE>
PREMIUM PAYMENT AND REINSTATEMENT (Continued)
The Schedule of Premiums may also show that the premium changes at other times.
This may occur, for example, with a contract issued with extra benefits or in an
extra rating class if, in either case, this calls for a higher or extra premium
for a limited period of time.
Allocations.--You may allocate all or a part of your invested premium amount to
one or more of the subaccounts and fixed account option(s) listed in the
Contract Data pages. You may choose to allocate nothing to a particular
subaccount or fixed account option. But any allocation you make must be at least
10%; you may not choose a fractional percent.
Example: You may choose a percentage of 0, or 100, or 10, 11, 12, and so on, up
to 90. But you may not choose a percentage of 1 through 9, or 91 through 99, or
any percentage that is not a whole number. The total for all subaccounts must be
100%.
The initial allocation of invested premium amounts (see page 14) is shown in the
Contract Data pages. You may change the allocation for future invested premium
amounts at any time if the contract is not in default. To do so, you must notify
us in writing in a form that meets our needs. The change will take effect on the
date we receive your notice at our Service Office.
A premium might be paid when the contract fund is less than zero. In that case,
when we receive that premium, we first use as much of the invested premium
amount as we need to eliminate the deficit in the contract fund. We will then
allocate any remainder of the invested premium amount in accord with your most
recent request. (We describe contract fund on page 14.)
Default.--Unless the contract is already in the grace period, on each Monthly
Date, after we deduct any charges from the contract fund (which we describe on
page 14) and add any credits to it, we will determine whether the contract is in
default. To do so, we will compute the amount which will accrue to the tabular
contract fund on the next Monthly Date if, during the current contract month:
(1) any interest credited and investment returns are at the assumed rate (see
Assumed Rate of Return on page 13); (2) we make the other charges and credits we
have set, including interest on contract debt; and (3) we receive no premiums or
loan repayments make no loans nor grant any partial withdrawals. We will
compare this amount to the contract fund. If this amount is not more than the
contract fund the contract is not in default. If this amount is more than the
Contract Fund the difference is the fund deficit. In this case the contract is
in default if the premium account, which we define below, is also less than
zero. See Excess Contract Debt on page 19 for another way the contract may end.
Grace Period.--The days of grace begin on any monthly date (other than the
contract date) on which the contract goes into default. We grant 61 days from
the date we mail you a notice of default to make the required payments which we
define below. During the days of grace we will continue to accept premiums and
make the charges we have set. If the monthly date was a scheduled premium due
date, when we receive a premium payment during the days of grace we will first
determine whether it satisfies case 2 under Payment of Premiums above. If it
does, the default will end. If it does not, or if the monthly date when the
contract went into default was not a scheduled premium due date, here is what we
will do:
Within 30 days after any default we will send you a notice that your contract is
in default. We will indicate the minimum payment required to keep your contract
in force and the length of the grace period for payment of such amount.
If at any time during the days of grace, we have received payments that in total
are at least equal to the lesser of (a) the sum of the fund deficit on the date
of default and any additional fund deficits on any subsequent Monthly Dates
since the date of default, and (b) the sum of the amount by which the premium
account is negative on the date of default and any scheduled premiums due since
the date of default, the default will end.
If the contract is still in default when the days of grace are over, it will end
and have no value, except as we state under Contract Value Options (which we
describe on page 16).
Premium Account.--On the contract date, the premium account is equal to the
premium credited on that date minus the scheduled premium then due. On any other
day, the premium account is equal to:
1. what it was on the prior day; plus
2. if the premium account was greater than zero on the prior day, interest on
the excess at 4% a year; minus
3. if the premium account was less than zero on the prior day, interest on the
amount of the deficit at 4% a year; plus
4. any premium credited on that day; minus
5. any scheduled premium due on that day; minus
6. any partial withdrawals on that day.

PREMIUM PAYMENT AND REINSTATEMENT (Continued)
The contract might be in default, as described above. If so, the premium account
is less than zero. If a premium payment is received on any day during the days
of grace while the contract is in default and the premium account is negative by
no more than one scheduled premium, that payment, to the extent that it is
required to bring the premium account up to zero, will, as we describe under
Payment of Premiums above, be credited to the premium account as of the Monthly
Date when the scheduled premium was due, whether that date is the date of
default or a subsequent Monthly Date. Any remaining portion of the premium
payment will be credited as of the actual date of receipt. In this case the
premium account for all days from the monthly date to the actual date of receipt
will be recalculated.
Reinstatement.--If this contract is still in default after the last day of
grace, you may reinstate it, if all these conditions are met:
1. No more than three years must have elapsed since the date of default.
2. You must not have surrendered the contract for its net cash value.
3. You must give us any facts we need to satisfy us that the insured is
insurable for the contract.
4. We must be paid a premium at least equal to the amount required to bring
the premium account up to zero on the first Monthly Date on which a
scheduled premium is due after the date of reinstatement. From this amount
we will deduct the expense charges from premium payments described in the
Contract Data pages, plus any charges with 4% interest for any extra
benefits, plus any other charges with 4% interest. The contract fund will
be equal to the remainder, plus the cash value of the contract immediately
before reinstatement, plus a refund of that part of any surrender charge
deducted at the time of default which would be charged if the contract were
surrendered immediately after reinstatement.
If we approve, you may be able to reinstate the contract for a premium less
than that described above. We will deduct the same charges and adjust the
contract fund in the same manner. If you do so, the premium account will be
less than zero. You may need to pay more than the scheduled premiums to
guarantee that the contract will not go into default at some future time.
5. If before reinstatement the contract is in force as reduced paid-up
insurance (see page 16), any contract debt under reduced paid-up insurance
must be repaid with interest or carried over to the reinstated contract.
If we approve the reinstatement, these statements apply. The date of
reinstatement will be the date of your request or the date the required
premium is paid, if later. And we will start to make daily and monthly
charges and credits again as of the date of reinstatement.
CHANGING THE FACE AMOUNT AND PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
Face Amount.--The face amount is shown on page 3. It will change if you increase
or decrease it.
Increase in Face Amount.--After the first contract year, you may be able to
increase the face amount once each contract year. Your right to do so is subject
to all these conditions and the paragraph that follows:
1. You must ask for the increase in writing and in a form that meets our
needs; if you are not the Insured and the Insured is age 8 or over, he or
she must sign the form too.
2. The amount of the increase must be at least equal to the minimum increase
in face amount, which we show on page 3.
3. You must give us any facts we need to satisfy us that the Insured is
insurable for the amount of the increase.
4. If we ask you to do so, you must send us the contract to be endorsed.
5. The contract must not be in default.
6. We must not have changed the basis on which benefits and charges are
calculated under newly issued contracts since the Issue Date.
7. You must make any required payment.
8. The insured must be eligible for the same rating class and benefits as
shown on page 3.
9. We must not be waiving premiums in accord with any Waiver of Premium
benefit that may be included in the contract.
An increase will take effect only if we approve your request for it at our
Service Office. If the increase is approved we will recompute the contract's
scheduled premiums, maximum surrender charges, tabular values, monthly
deductions and expense charges. We will send you new Contract Data pages showing
the amount and effective date of the increase and the recomputed values. If the
insured is not living on the effective date, the increase will not take effect.

CHANGING THE FACE AMOUNT AND PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS (Continued)
Decrease in Face Amount.--After the first contract year, you may be able to
decrease the face amount. Your right to do so is subject to all these conditions
and the paragraphs that follow:
1. You must ask for the decrease in writing and in a form that meets our
needs.
2. The amount of the decrease must be at least equal to the minimum decrease
in face amount, which we show on page 3.
3. The face amount after the decrease must be at least equal to the minimum
face amount, which we show on page 3.
4. It we ask you to do so, you must send us the contract to be endorsed.
A decrease will take effect only if we approve your request for it at our
Service Office. If the decrease is approved, we will recompute the contract's
scheduled premiums, maximum surrender charges, tabular values, monthly
deductions and expense charges. A decrease in face amount may also effect the
amount of any extra benefits this contract might have. We will send you new
Contract Data pages showing the amount and effective date of the decrease and
the recomputed values. If the Insured is not living on the effective date, the
decrease will not take effect.
We may deduct an administrative fee of up to $15.00, and a proportionate part of
any then applicable surrender.
Partial Withdrawals.--After the first contract year, you may be able to make
partial withdrawals from the contract. Your right to do so is subject to all
these conditions and the paragraphs that follow:
1. You must ask for the partial withdrawal in writing and in a form that meets
our needs.
2. The amount withdrawn, plus the net cash value after withdrawal, may not be
more than the net cash value before withdrawal.
3. The cash value after withdrawal must not be less than the tabular cash
value.
4. The amount you withdraw must be at least $500.
5. You may make up to four partial withdrawals in any contract year.
6. If we ask you to do so, you must send us the contract to be endorsed.
We may deduct an administrative fee of up to $15.00.
We will usually pay any partial withdrawal within seven days after we receive
your request and, if we request it, the contract at our Service Office. But we
have the right to deter paying the portion of the proceeds that is to come from
the portion of the contract fund in the PLVAA if (1) the New York Stock Exchange
is closed; or (2) the SEC requires that trading be restricted or declares an
emergency. We have the right to postpone paying you the remainder of the
proceeds for up to six months. If we do so for more than thirty days, we will
pay interest at the rate of 3% a year.
An amount withdrawn may not be repaid, except as an unscheduled premium subject
to charges.
We will tell you how much you may withdraw if you ask us.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT
The Separate Account.--The words separate account, where we use them in this
contract without qualification, mean the Pruco Life Variable Appreciable Account
(PLVAA) and any other separate account that we establish. PLVAA is a unit
investment trust registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of
1940. We established PLVAA to support variable life insurance contracts. We own
the assets of this separate account; we keep them separate from the assets of
our general account.
Subaccounts.--A separate account may have several subaccounts. We list the
subaccounts in the Contract Data pages. You determine, using percentages, how
invested premium amounts will be allocated among the subaccounts. We may
establish additional subaccounts.
The Fund.--The word fund, where we use it in this contract without
qualification, means the fund we identify in the Contract Data pages. The fund
is registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an
open-end diversified management investment company. The fund has several
portfolios; there is a portfolio that corresponds to each of the subaccounts of
PLVAA. We list these portfolios in the Contract Data pages.
Separate Account Investments.--We use the assets of PLVAA to buy shares in the
fund. Each subaccount of PLVAA is invested in a specific portfolio. Income and
realized and unrealized gains and losses from assets in each of these
subaccounts are credited to, or charged against, that subaccount. This is
without regard to income, gains, or losses in our other investment accounts.
We will determine the value of the assets in PLVAA at the end of each business
day. When we use the term business day, we mean a day when the New York Stock
Exchange is open for trading. We might need to know the value of an asset on a
day that is not a business day or on which trading in that asset does not take
place. In this case, we will use the value of that asset as of the end of the
last prior business day on which trading took place.
Example: It we need to know the value of an asset on a Sunday, we will normally
use the value of the asset as of the end of business on Friday.
We will always keep assets in the separate account with a total value at least
equal to the amount of the investment amounts under contracts like this one. To
the extent those assets do not exceed this amount, we use them only to support
those contracts; we do not use those assets to support any other business we
conduct. We may use any excess over this amount in any way we choose.
If we create additional separate accounts, we may invest the assets in them in a
different way. But we will do so only with the consent of the SEC and, where
required, of the insurance regulator where this contract is delivered.
Change in Investment Policy.--A portfolio of the fund might make a material
change in its investment policy. In that case, we will send you a notice of the
change. Within 60 days after you receive the notice, or within 60 days after the
effective date of the change, if later, you may transfer to the Fixed Account
any amounts in the subaccount investing in that portfolio.
Change of Fund.--A portfolio might, in our judgment, become unsuitable for
investment by a subaccount. This might happen because of a change in investment
policy, or a change in the laws or regulations, or because the shares are no
longer available for investment, or for some other reason. If that occurs, we
have the right to substitute another portfolio of the fund, or to invest in a
fund other than the one we show in the Contract Data pages. But we would first
seek the consent of the SEC and, where required, the insurance regulator where
this contract is delivered.
FIXED ACCOUNT
The Fixed Account.--If you choose, you may allocate all or part of your invested
premium amount to the fixed account. The fixed account is funded by the general
account of Pruco Life. The fixed account is credited with interest as described
under Guaranteed Interest and Excess Interest on page 14.
Fixed Account Options.--We may have more than one fixed account option. We list
the fixed account option(s) in the Contract Data pages.
Page 12 (VALB--86)

<PAGE>
TRANSFERS
Transfers Among Subaccounts and into the Fixed Account.--You may transfer
amounts among subaccounts of PLVAA and into the Fixed Account as often as four
times in a contract year it the contract is not in default or if the contract is
being continued under the reduced paid up option. In addition, at any time
within the first two contract years or within two years of the effective date
of any increase, the entire amount in all subaccounts may be transferred to the
fixed account. If we establish new separate accounts, transfers into or out of
these separate accounts will be allowed only with our consent. To make a
transfer, you must notify us in writing in a form that meets our needs. The
transfer will take effect on the date we receive your notice at our Service
Office.
Transfers Among Fixed Account Options and into the Subaccounts.--You may
transfer amounts among the available Fixed Account Options and into the
subaccounts only with our consent.
INVESTMENT AMOUNT AND ASSUMED RATE OF RETURN
Investment Amount.--The investment amount for this contract is an amount we use
to compute the investment return. The investment amount is allocated among the
subaccounts. The amount of the investment amount and its allocation to
subaccounts depend on (1) how you choose to allocate net premiums; (2) whether
or not you transfer amounts among subaccounts and the fixed account; (3) the
investment performance of the subaccounts to which amounts are allocated or
transferred; (4) the deductions we make from the contract fund; (5) the amount
and timing of premium payments you make; (6) whether or not you take any loan;
and (7) whether or not you make any partial withdrawals or change the face
amount. The investment amount exists only if the contract is not in default past
the days of grace or if it is being continued as reduced paid-up insurance.
The investment amount at any time is equal to the contract fund, minus the
amount of any contract loan and interest accrued on the loan since the last
transaction date, minus the amount in the Fixed Account.
Assumed Rate of Return.--The assumed rate of return is an effective rate of 4% a
year. This is the same as .01074598% a day compounded daily.
Page 13 (VALB--86)
II-134
<PAGE>
INSURANCE AMOUNT
The insurance amount on any date is equal to the greater of (1) the face amount,
which we show on the page 3, plus any excess of the contract fund over the
tabular contract fund, and (2) the contract fund divided by the net single
premium per $1 at the insured's attained age on that date.
CONTRACT FUND
Contract Fund Defined.--On the contract date the contract fund is equal to the
invested premium amounts credited (see below), minus any of the charges
described in items (g) through (m) below which may have been due on that date.
On any day after that the contract fund is equal to what it was on the previous
day, plus any invested premium amounts credited, plus these items:
(a) any increase due to investment results in the value of the subaccounts to
which that portion of the contract fund that is in the investment amount
is allocated;
(b) guaranteed interest at an effective rate of 4% a year on that portion of
the contract fund that is not in the investment amount; and
(c) any excess interest on that portion of the contract fund that is not in
the investment amount;
and minus these items:
(d) any decrease due to investment results in the value of the subaccounts to
which that portion of the contract fund that is in the investment amount
is allocated;
(e) a charge against the investment amount at a rate of not more than
.00163894% a day (.60% a year) for mortality and expense risks that we
assume;
(f) any amount charged against the investment amount for Federal or State
income taxes;
(g) a charge to guarantee the minimum death benefit;
(h) a charge for the cost of expected mortality;
(i) any charges for extra rating class;
(j) any charges for extra benefits;
(k) any charge for administration;
(l) any partial withdrawals; and
(m) any surrender charges and administrative charges that may result from a
partial withdrawal or a decrease in face amount.
We describe under Reinstatement on page 10 what the contract fund will be equal
to on any reinstatement date.
There is no contract fund for a contract in force under extended insurance.
Invested Premium Amount.--This is the portion of each premium paid that we will
add to the contract fund. It is equal to the premium paid minus the expense
charges described in the Contract Data pages under Schedule of Expense Charges
from Premium Payments.
Guaranteed Interest.--We will credit interest to the contract fund each day on
any portion of the contract fund not in the investment amount. We will credit
.01074598% a day, which is equivalent to an effective rate of 4% a year.
Excess Interest.--We may credit interest in addition to the guaranteed interest
on that portion of the contract fund not in the investment amount. The rate of
any excess interest will be determined from time to time and will continue
thereafter until a new rate is determined. We may use different rates of excess
interest for different portions of the contract fund not in the investment
amount. We may from time to time guarantee rates of excess interest on some
portions of the contract fund.
Cost of Expected Mortality.--On each Monthly Date, we will deduct a charge for
the cost of expected mortality. The amount deducted is computed as the annual
mortality rate multiplied by the coverage amount. The coverage amount is the
difference between the adjusted death benefit and the adjusted contract fund. If
the insurance amount equals the face amount plus any excess of the contract fund
over the tabular contract fund, the adjusted death benefit is equal to the face
amount multiplied by the Factor for Adjusting the Insurance Amount (See Table of
Adjustment Factors), and the adjusted contract fund is equal to the tabular
contract fund at the end of the month less any excess of the tabular contract
fund at the beginning of the month over the actual contract fund after deduction
of any charges due on the Monthly Date, all multiplied by the Factor for
Adjusting the Contract Fund. If the insurance amount exceeds the face amount
plus any excess of the contract fund over the tabular contract fund, the
adjusted death benefit is equal to the insurance amount multiplied by the Factor
for Adjusting the Insurance Amount, and the adjusted contract fund is equal to
the net single premium at the end of the month for the insurance amount on the
Monthly Date, all multiplied by the Factor for Adjusting the Contract Fund. The
adjustment factors depend on the month as shown in the table that follows.

<PAGE>
CONTRACT FUND (Continued)
We will not charge more than the maximum guaranteed rates, which are based on
the Insured's sex and attained age and the mortality table described in the
Basis of Computation. We may charge less. At least once every five years, but
not more often than once a year, we will consider the need to change the rates.
We will change them only if we do so for all contracts like this one dated in
the same year as this one.
Charge for Extra Rating Class.--If there is an extra charge because of the
rating class of the Insured, we will deduct it from the contract fund at the
beginning of each contract month. Any charge is included in the amount shown in
the Contract Data pages under Schedule of Monthly Deductions from the Contract
Fund.
Charge for Extra Benefits.--If the contract has extra benefits, we will deduct
the charges for such benefits from the contract fund at the beginning of each
contract month. Charges for any such extra benefits are included in the amount
shown in the Contract Data pages under Schedule of Monthly Deductions from
Contract Fund.
Charges For Administration and Minimum Death Benefit Guarantees.--On each
monthly date, we will deduct a charge for administration. We will also deduct a
charge for guaranteeing the minimum death benefit regardless of the investment
performance of the separate account. We show the amount of these charges in the
Contract Data pages under Schedule of Monthly Deductions from the Contract Fund.

CONTRACT VALUE OPTIONS
Benefit After the Grace Period.--If the contract is in default beyond its days
of grace, we will use any net cash value (which we describe under Cash Value
Option) to keep the contract in force as one of two kinds of insurance. One kind
is extended insurance. The second kind is reduced paid-up insurance. We describe
each below. You will find under Automatic Benefit which kind it will be. Any
extra benefit(s) will end as soon as the contract is in default past its days of
grace, unless the form that describes the extra benefit states otherwise.
Extended Insurance.--This will be term insurance of a fixed amount on the
Insured's life. We will pay the amount of term insurance if the Insured dies in
the term we describe below. Before the end of the term there will be cash values
but no loan value.
The amount of term insurance will be the death benefit on the day of default,
minus any part of that death benefit which was provided by extra benefits. The
term is a period of time that will start on the day the contract went into
default. The length of the term will be what is provided when we use the net
cash value at the net single premium rate. This rate depends on the Insured's
issue age and sex and on the length of time since the contract date.
There may be extra days of term insurance. This will occur if, on the day the
contract goes into default, the term of extended insurance provided by the net
cash value does not exceed 90 days, or the number of days the contract was in
force before the default began, if less. The number of extra days will be (1)
90, or the number of days the contract was in force before the default began, if
less, minus (2) the number of days of extended insurance that would be provided
by the net cash value if there were no contract debt. The extra days, if any.
start on the day after the last day of term insurance provided by the net cash
value, if any. If there is no such term insurance, the extra days start on the
day the contract goes into default. The term insurance for the extra days has no
cash value. There will be no extra days if you replace the extended insurance
with reduced paid-up insurance or you surrender the contract before the extra
days start.
Reduced Paid-up Insurance.--This will be paid-up variable life insurance on the
Insured's life. The death benefit may change from day to day, as we explain
below, but if there is no contract debt, it will not be less than a minimum
guaranteed amount. There will be cash values and loan values.
The minimum guaranteed amount of insurance will be computed by using the net
cash value at the net single premium rate determined as of the day the contract
went into default. The net single premium rate depends on the Insured's issue
age and sex and on the length of time since the contract date. The amount
payable in the event of death thereafter will be the greater of (a) the minimum
guaranteed amount and (b) the contract fund divided by the net single premium
per $1 at the Insured's attained age. In either case the amount will be adjusted
for any contract debt.
Except when it is provided as the automatic benefit, (see below), the reduced
paid-up insurance option will be available only when the guaranteed death
benefit under the option will be $5000 or more.
If we issued the contract in a rating class for which we do not provide extended
insurance, you may not allocate the contract fund of the reduced paid-up
insurance to any subaccount without our consent.
Computations.--We will make all computations for either of these benefits as of
the date the contract goes into default. But we will consider any loan you take
out or pay back or any premium payments or partial withdrawals you make in the
days of grace.
Automatic Benefit.--When the contract is in default, it will stay in force as
extended insurance. But it will stay in force as reduced paid-up insurance if
either of these statements applies: (1) We issued the contract in a rating class
for which we do not provide extended insurance; in this case the phrase No
Extended Insurance is in the Rating Class in the Contract Data pages. (2) The
amount of reduced paid-up insurance would be at least as great as the amount of
extended term insurance.
Optional Benefit.--You may choose to replace any extended insurance that has a
net cash value by reduced paid-up insurance. To make this choice, you must do so
in writing to us in a form that meets our needs, not more than three months
after the date the contract goes into default. You must also send the contract
to us to be endorsed.
(Continued on Next Page)
Page 16 (VALB--86)

<PAGE>
CONTRACT VALUE OPTIONS (Continued)
Cash Value Option.--You may surrender this contract for its net cash value. The
net cash value at any time is the cash value at that time, less any contract
debt. To surrender this contract, you must ask us in writing in a form that
meets our needs. You must also send the contract to us. Here is how we will
compute the cash value for surrender of the contract or for its continuation
under extended insurance or reduced paid-up insurance.
1. If the contract is not in default: The cash value on surrender is the
contract fund, minus any surrender charge, consisting of a deferred sales charge
and a deferred underwriting and issue charge. The schedule of Maximum Surrender
Charges for this contract is in the Contract Data pages.
2. If the contract is in default during its days of grace: We will compute the
net cash value as of the date the contract went into default. But we will adjust
this value for any loan you take out or pay back, and any premium payments,
partial withdrawals or decreases in face amount you make in the days of grace.
3. If the contract is in default beyond its days of grace: The net cash value as
of any date will be the net value on that date of any extended insurance benefit
then in force. Or it will be the net value on that date of any reduced paid-up
insurance benefit then in force, less any contract debt.
Within 30 days after a contract anniversary, the net cash value of any extended
insurance will not be less than the value on that anniversary.
We will usually pay any cash value within seven days after we receive your
request and the contract at our Service Office. But we have the right to defer
paying the portion of the proceeds that is to come from the portion of the
contract fund in the PLVAA if (1) the New York Stock Exchange is closed; or (2)
the SEC requires that trading be restricted or declares an emergency. We have
the right to postpone paying you the remainder of the proceeds for up to six
months. If we do so for more than thirty days, we will pay interest at the rate
of 3% a year.
Tabular Values.--We show tabular contract fund values and tabular cash values at
the end of contract years in the Contract Data pages. The tabular contract fund
at the end of any contract year is the amount which will then be in the contract
fund if all scheduled premiums have been paid on their due dates, there have
been no unscheduled premiums paid, there is no contract debt, the subaccounts
you have chosen earn exactly the assumed rate of return, we have credited no
excess interest, and we have deducted the maximum mortality and expense charges.
The tabular cash values are the amounts which, under the same conditions, will
then be used to provide extended insurance or reduced paid-up insurance or will
be paid in cash, if the maximum surrender charges are applied. The tabular cash
value shown is equal to the tabular contract fund value as of the same date
after deducting any surrender charges (at the maximum rate) from the tabular
contract fund value. (See Cash Value Option above.)
If we need to compute tabular values at some time during a contract year, we
will count the time since the start of the year. We will let you know the
tabular values for other durations if you ask for them.

<PAGE>
LOANS
Loan Requirements.--After the first anniversary, you may borrow from us on the
contract. All these conditions must be met:
1. The Insured is living.
2. The contract is in force other than as extended insurance.
3. The contract debt will not be more than the loan value. (We explain these
terms below.)
4. As sole security for the loan, you assign the contract to us in a form that
meets our needs.
5. Except when used to pay premiums on this contract, the amount you borrow at
anyone time must be at least $500.
If there is already contract debt when you borrow from us, we will add the new
amount you borrow to that debt.
Contract Debt.--Contract debt at any time means the loan on the contract, plus
the interest we have charged that is not yet due and that we have not yet added
to the loan.
Loan Value.--You may borrow any amount up to the difference between the loan
value and any existing contract debt. At any time the loan value is 90% of the
cash value.
There is one exception. If the contract is in default, the loan value during the
days of grace is what it was on the date of default.
Example 1: Suppose the contract has a loan value of $6,000. About eight months
ago you borrowed $1,500. By now there is interest of $55 charged but not yet
due. The contract debt is now $1,555, which is made up of the $1,500 loan and
the $55 interest.
Example 2: Suppose, in example 1, you want to borrow all that you can. We will
lend you $4,445 which is the difference between the $6,000 loan value and the
$1,555 contract debt. This will increase the contract debt to $6,000. We will
add the new amount borrowed to the existing loan and will charge interest on it,
too.
Interest Charge.--You may select either the Fixed Loan Rate Option or the
Variable Loan Rate Option. Both are described below. We show on page 3 the
option you have selected. You may request a change to the loan rate option at
any time. If we agree, we will tell you the effective date of the change.
Fixed Loan Rate Option.--We charge interest daily on any loan at the effective
rate of 5 1/2% a year. Interest is due on each contract anniversary, or when the
loan is paid back if that comes first. If interest is not paid when due. it
becomes part of the loan. Then we start to charge interest on it, too.
Example 3: Suppose the contract date is in 1987. Six months before the
anniversary in 1996 you borrow $1,600 out of a $4,000 loan value. We charge
5 1/2% a year. Three months later, but still three months before the
anniversary, we will have charged about $22 interest. This amount will be a few
cents more or less than $22 since some months have more days than others. The
interest will not be due until the anniversary unless the loan is paid back
sooner. The loan will still be $1,600. The contract debt will be $1,622, since
contract debt includes interest charged but not yet due.
On the anniversary in 1996 we will have charged about $44 interest. The interest
will then be due.
Example 4: Suppose the $44 interest in example 3 was paid on the anniversary.
The loan and contract debt each became $1,600 right after the payment.
Example 5: Suppose the $44 interest in example 3 was not paid on the
anniversary. The interest became part of the loan, and we began to charge
interest on it, too. The loan and contract debt each became $1,644.
Variable Loan Rate Option.--We charge interest daily on any loan. Interest is
due on each contract anniversary, or when the loan is paid back it that comes
first. If interest is not paid when due, it becomes part of the loan. Then we
start to charge interest on it, too.
The loan interest rate is the annual rate we set from time to time. The rate
will never be greater than is permitted by law. It will change only on a
contract anniversary.
Before the start of each contract year, we will determine the loan interest rate
we can charge for that contract year.
To do this, we will first find the rate that is the greater of (1) The Published
Monthly Average (which we describe below) for the calendar month ending two
months before the calendar month of the contract anniversary; and (2) 5%.
If that greater rate is at least 1/2% more than the loan interest rate we had
set for the current contract year, we have the right to increase the loan
interest rate by at least 1/2%, up to that greater rate. If it is at least 4%
less, we will decrease the loan interest rate to be no more than the greater
rate. We will not change the loan interest rate by less than 1/2%.

<PAGE>
LOANS (Continued)
When you make a loan we will tell you the initial interest rate for the loan. We
will send you a notice it there is to be an increase in the rate.
The Published Monthly Average means:
1. Moody's Corporate Bond Yield Average--Monthly Average Corporates, as
published by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or any successor to that service;
or
2. If that average is no longer published, a substantially similar average,
established by the insurance regulator where this contract is delivered.
Repayment.--All or part of any contract debt may be paid back at any time while
the Insured is living. When we settle the contract, any contract debt is due us.
If there is contract debt at the end of the last day of grace when the contract
is in default, it will be deducted from the cash value to determine the net cash
value. We will make this adjustment so that the proceeds will not include the
amount of that debt.
Effect of a Loan.--When you take a loan, the amount of the loan continues to be
a part of the contract fund and continues to be credited with interest at the
guaranteed rate of 4% a year. If you have selected the Variable Loan Rate
Option, we will credit excess interest at an effective rate of not less than the
loan interest rate for the contract year less 5 1/2%. However, we will reduce
the portion of the contract fund allocated to the separate account and the fixed
account by the amount you borrow, and by loan interest that becomes part of the
loan because it is not paid when due.
On each transaction date, if there is a contract loan outstanding, we will
increase the portion of the contract fund in the fixed account and the separate
account by interest credits accrued on the loan since the last transaction date.
When you repay part or all of a loan we will increase the portion of the
contract fund in the separate account and the fixed account by the amount of
loan you repay, plus interest credits accrued on the loan since the last
transaction date. We will not increase the portion of the contract fund
allocated to the separate account and the fixed account by loan interest that is
paid before we make it part of the loan.
Only the amount of the investment amount will reject the investment results of
the subaccounts. Since the amount you borrow is removed from the portion of the
contract fund allocated to the separate account and the fixed account, a loan
may have a permanent effect on the net cash value of this contract and also on
any death benefit in excess of the guaranteed death benefit. The longer the loan
is outstanding, the greater this effect is likely to be.
Excess Contract Debt.--If contract debt ever becomes equal to or more than the
cash value, all the contract's benefits will end 61 days after we mail a notice
to you and any assignee of whom we know. Also. we may send a notice to the
Insured's last known address. In the notice we will state the amount that, if
paid to us, will keep the contract's benefits from ending for a limited time.
Postponement of Loan.--We will usually make a loan within seven days after we
receive your request at our Service Office. But we have the right to defer
making the portion of the loan that is to come from the portion of the contract
fund in the PLVAA if (1) the New York Stock Exchange is closed; or (2) the SEC
requires that trading be restricted or declares an emergency. We have the right
to postpone paying you the remainder of the proceeds of a loan for up to six
months, unless it will be used to pay premiums on this or other contracts with
us.

SETTLEMENT OPTIONS
Payee Defined.--In these provisions and under the Automatic Mode of Settlement,
the word Payee means a person who has a right to receive a settlement under the
contract. Such a person may be the Insured, the owner, a beneficiary, or a
contingent payee.
Choosing an Option.--A Payee may choose an option for all or part of any
proceeds or residue that becomes payable to him or her in one sum. We describe
residue later on this page.
In some cases, a Payee will need our consent to choose an option. We describe
these cases under Conditions.
Options Described.--Here are the options we offer. We may also consent to other
arrangements.
Life Income Option.--We will make equal monthly payments for as long as the
person on whose life the settlement is based lives, with payments certain for a
10-year period (10-Year Certain). The amount of each payment will be based on
the Life Income Option Table and on the sex and age, on the due date of the
first payment, of the person on whose life the settlement is based. That person
must be a Payee. But if a choice is made more than two years after the Insured's
death, we may use the Life Income Option payment rates in individual annuity
contracts or life insurance contracts we regularly issue, based on United States
currency, on the due date of the first payment. On request, we will quote the
payment rates in contracts we then issue. We must have proof of the date of
birth of the person on whose life the settlement is based. If on the due date of
the first payment under this option, we have declared a higher payment rate
under the option, we will base the payments on that higher rate.
Interest Payment Option.--We will hold an amount at interest. We will pay
interest at an effective rate of at least 3% a year ($30.00 annually, $14.89
semi-annually, $7.42 quarterly or $2.47 monthly per $1,000). We may pay more
interest.
Supplemental Life Annuity Option.--Any Payee may choose to receive all or part
of the proceeds of this contract in the form of payments like those of any
annuity or life annuity we then regularly issue. But that annuity must (1) be
based on United States currency; (2) be bought by a single sum; (3) not provide
for dividends; and (4) not normally provide for deferral of the first payment.
For purposes of this option only, the words we, our and us include our parent
company, The Prudential Insurance Company of America, which has agreed to make
settlements under this option.
The payment will be at least what we would pay under the chosen kind of annuity
with its first payment due on its contract date.
The phrase regularly issue does not include contracts that are used to qualify
for special federal income tax treatment as a retirement plan unless this
contract has been issued as part of such a plan. At least one of the persons on
whose life this Option is based must be a Payee. We must have proof of the date
of birth of any person on whose life the option is based. This Option cannot be
chosen more than 30 days before the due date of the first payment. On request,
we will quote the payment that would apply for any amount placed under the
option at that time.
First Payment Due Date.--Unless a different date is stated when the option is
chosen: (1) the first payment for the Interest Payment Option will be due at the
end of the chosen payment interval; and (2) the first payment for any of the
other options will be due on the date the option takes effect.
Residue Described. For the Life Income Option and the Supplemental Life Annuity
Option, residue on any date means the then present value of any unpaid payments
certain. For the Life Income Option, we will compute it at an effective interest
rate of 3 1/2% a year. But we will use the interest rate we used to compute the
actual Life Income Option payments if they were not based on the table in this
contract. For the Supplemental Life Annuity Option, we will use the interest
rate we would use for the chosen kind of annuity with the same provisions as to
withdrawal.
For the Interest Payment Option, residue on any date means any unpaid balance
with interest to that date.
For the Life Income Option and the Supplemental Life Annuity Option, residue
does not include the value of any payment that may become due after the certain
period.
Withdrawal of Residue.--Unless otherwise stated when the option is chosen: (1)
under the Life Income Option and the Supplemental Life Annuity Option the
residue may be withdrawn; and (2) under the Interest Payment Option all, or any
part not less than $100, of the residue may be withdrawn. If the Interest
Payment Option residue is reduced to less than $1,000, we have the right to pay
it in one sum. Under the Life Income Option and the Supplemental Life Annuity
Option, withdrawal of the residue will not affect any payments that may become
doe after the certain period; the value of those payments cannot be withdrawn.
Instead, the payments will start again if they were based on the life of a
person who lives past the certain period.

SETTLEMENT OPTIONS (Continued)
Designating Contingent Payee(s).--A Payee under an option has the right, unless
otherwise stated, to name or change a contingent payee to receive any residue at
the Payee's death. This may be done only if (1) the Payee has the full right to
withdraw the residue; or (2) the residue would otherwise have been payable to
that Payee's estate at death.
A payee who has the right may choose, or change the choice of, an option for all
or part of the residue. In some cases, the Payee will need our consent to choose
or change an option. We describe these cases under Conditions.
Any request to exercise any of these rights must be in writing and in a form
that meets our needs. It will take effect only when we file it at our Service
Office. Then the interest of anyone who is being removed will end as of the date
of the request, even if the Payee who made the request is not living when we
file it.
Changing Options.--A Payee under the Interest Payment Option may choose another
option for any sum that the Payee could withdraw on the date the chosen option
is to start. That date may be before the date the Payee makes the choice only if
we consent. In some cases, the Payee will need our consent to choose or change
an option. We describe these cases next.
Conditions.--Under any of these conditions, our consent is needed for an option
to be used for any person:
1. The person is not a natural person who will be paid in his or her own
right.
2. The person will be paid as assignee.
3. The amount to be held for the person under the Interest Payment Option is
less than $1,000. But we will hold any amount for at least one year in
accord with the Automatic Mode of Settlement.
4. Each payment to the person under the option would be less than $20.
5. The option is for residue arising other than at (a) the Insured's death, or
(b) the death of the beneficiary who was entitled to be paid as of the date
of the Insured's death.
6. The option is for proceeds that arise other than from the Insured's death,
and we are settling with an owner or any other person who is not the
Insured.
Death of Payee.--If a Payee under an option dies and if no other distribution is
shown, we will pay any residue under that option in one sum to the Payee's
estate.
AUTOMATIC MODE OF SETTLEMENT
Applicability.--These provisions apply to proceeds arising from the Insured's
death and payable in one sum to a Payee who is a beneficiary. They do not apply
to any periodic payment.
Interest on Proceeds.--We will hold the proceeds at interest under Interest
Payment Option of the Settlement Options provision. The Payee may withdraw the
residue. We will pay it promptly on request. We will pay interest annually
unless we agree to pay it more often. We have the right to pay the residue in
one sum after one year if (1) the Payee is not a natural person who will be paid
in his or her own right; (2) the Payee will be paid as assignee; or (3) the
original amount we hold under Interest Payment Option for the Payee is less than
$1,000.
Settlement at Payee's Death.--If the Payee dies and leaves an Interest Payment
Option residue, we will honor any contingent payee provision then in effect. If
there is none, here is what we will do. We will look to the beneficiary
designation of the contract; we will see what other beneficiary(ies), if any,
would have been entitled to the portion of the proceeds that produced the
Interest Payment Option residue if the Insured had not died until immediately
after the Payee died. Then we will pay the residue in one sum to such other
beneficiary(ies}, in accord with that designation. But if, as stated in that
designation, payment would be due the estate of someone else, we will instead
pay the estate of the Payee.
Example: Suppose the class 1 beneficiary is Jane and the class 2 beneficiaries
are Paul and John. Jane was living when the Insured died. Jane later died
without having chosen an option or naming someone other than Paul and John as
contingent payee. If Paul and John are living at Jane's death we owe them the
residue. If only one of them is living then, and if the contract called for
payment to the survivor of them, we owe him the residue. It neither of them is
living then, we owe Jane's estate.
Spendthrift and Creditor.--A beneficiary or contingent payee may not, at or
after the Insured's death, assign, transfer, or encumber any benefit payable. To
the extent allowed by law, the benefits will not be subject to the claims of any
creditor of any beneficiary or contingent payee.

BENEFICIARY
You may designate or change a beneficiary. Your request must be in writing and
in a form that meets our needs. It will take effect only when we file it at our
Service Office; this will be after you send the contract to us to be endorsed,
if we ask you to do so. Then any previous beneficiary's interest will end as of
the date of the request. It will end then even if the Insured is not living when
we file the request. Any beneficiary's interest is subject to the rights of any
assignee of whom we know.
When a beneficiary is designated, any relationship shown is to the Insured,
unless otherwise stated. To show priority, we may use numbered classes, so that
the class with first priority is called class 1, the class with next priority
is called class 2, and soon. When we use numbered classes, these statements
apply to beneficiaries unless the form states otherwise;
1. One who survives the Insured will have the right to be paid only if no one
in a prior class survives the Insured.
2. One who has the right to be paid will be the only one paid if no one else
in the same class survives the Insured.
3. Two or more in the same class who have the right to be paid will be paid in
equal shares.
4. If none survives the Insured, we will pay in one sum to the Insured's
estate.
Example: Suppose the class 1 beneficiary is Jane and the class 2 beneficiaries
are Paul and John. We owe Jane the proceeds if she is living at the Insured's
death. We owe Paul and John the proceeds if they are living then but Jane is
not. But if only one of them is living, we owe him the proceeds. If none of them
is living we owe the Insured's estate.
Beneficiaries who do not have a right to be paid under these terms may still
have a right to be paid under the Automatic Mode of Settlement.
Before we make a payment, we have the right to decide what proof we need of the
identity, age or any other facts about any persons designated as beneficiaries.
It beneficiaries are not designated by name and we make payment(s) based on that
proof, we will not have to make the payment(s) again.

To the best of the knowledge and belief of those who sign below, the statements in this application are complete and true. It
is understood that, if any of the above statements (for example, the smoking data) is a material misrepresentation, coverage
could be invalidated as a result. The beneficiary named in the application is for insurance payable upon death of (1) the Insured,
and (2) an insured child after the death of the Insured if there is no insured spouse.
When the Company gives a Limited Insurance Agreement form, ORD 84376A-86, of the same date as this Part 1, coverage will start as
shown in that form. Otherwise, no coverage will start unless: (1) a contract is issued, (2) it is accepted, and (3) the full first
premium is paid while all persons to be covered are living and their health remains as stated in Parts 1 and 2. If all these take
place, coverage will start on the contract date. If the Company makes a change as indicated in 26 it will be approved by acceptance
of the contract. But where the law requires written consent for any change in the application, such change can be made only if those
who sign this form approve the change in writing. No agent can make or change a contract, or waive any of the Company's rights or
needs.
Ownership: Unless otherwise asked for above, the owner of the contract will be (1) the applicant if other than the proposed Insured,
otherwise (2) the proposed Insured. But this is subject to any automatic transfer of ownership stated in the contract.

EXHIBIT 1.A.(13)(a)
RIDER FOR
INSURED'S WAIVER OF PREMIUM BENEFIT
Read the list of Supplementary Benefits on the Contract Data page(s).
This Benefit is a part of this contract only if it is listed there.
Total Disability Benefit.--We will pay scheduled premiums into the contract for
you on their due dates while the Insured is totally disabled. But this is
subject to all the provisions of this Benefit and of the rest of this contract.
Disability Defined.--When we use the words disability and disabled in this
Benefit we mean total disability and totally disabled. Here is how we define
them: (1) until the Insured has stayed disabled for two years, we mean that he
or she cannot, due to sickness or injury, do any of the duties of his or her
regular occupation; but (2) after the Insured has stayed disabled for two years,
we mean that he or she cannot, due to sickness or injury, do any gainful work
for which he or she is reasonably fitted by education, training, or experience.
Except for what we state in the next sentence, we will at no time regard an
Insured as disabled who is doing gainful work for which he or she is reasonably
fitted by education, training, or experience. We will regard an Insured as
disabled, even if working or able to work, if he or she incurs, during a period
in which premiums are eligible to be waived as we describe below, one of the
following: (1) permanent and complete blindness of both eyes; or (2) severance
of both hands at or above the wrists or both feet at or above the ankles; or (3)
severance of one hand at or above the wrist and one foot at or above the ankle.
Premiums Eligible To Be Paid By Us.--lf the Insured becomes disabled before the
first contract anniversary after his or her 60th birthday and that disability
begins (1) on or after the first contract anniversary after his or her 5th
birthday, if the contract date was before that birthday; or (2) on or after the
contract date, if that date was on or after his or her 5th birthday, we will pay
all scheduled premiums that fall due while he or she stays disabled and before
the contract becomes paid-up.
If the Insured becomes disabled on or after the first contract anniversary after
his or her 6Oth birthday, we will pay only those scheduled premiums that fall
due before the first contract anniversary after his or her 65th birthday and
while he or she stays disabled and before the contract becomes paid-up.
If the Insured becomes disabled on or after the first contract anniversary after
his or her 65th birthday, we will not pay any scheduled premiums that fall due
in that period of disability.
Conditions.--Both of these conditions must be met: (1) The Insured must become
disabled while this contract is in force and not in default past the last day of
the grace period; (2) The Insured must stay disabled for a period of at least
six months while living.
Exceptions.--We will not pay any scheduled premiums if the Insured becomes
disabled from: (1) an injury he causes to himself, or she causes to herself, on
purpose; or (2) sickness or injury due to service on or after the contract date
in the armed forces of any country(ies) at war. The word war means declared or
undeclared war and includes resistance to armed aggression.
Successive Disabilities.--Here is what happens if the Insured has at least one
scheduled premium paid by us while disabled, then gets well so that he or she
resumes making payments, and then becomes disabled again. In this case, we will
not apply the six-month period that would otherwise be required by Condition (2)
and will consider the second period of disability to be part of the first period
unless (1) the Insured has done gainful work, for which he or she is reasonably
fitted, for at least six months between the periods; or (2) the Insured became
disabled the second time from an entirely different cause.
If we do not apply the six-month period required by Condition (2), we also will
not count the days when there was no disability as part of the two year period
when disability means the Insured cannot do any of the duties of his or her
regular occupation.
Notice and Proof of Claim.--Notice and proof of any claim must be given to us
while the Insured is living and disabled, or as soon as reasonably possible. If
notice or proof is not given as soon as reasonably possible, we will not pay any
scheduled premium due more than one year before the date the notice or proof is
given to us. We may require proof at reasonable times that the Insured is still
disabled. After he or she has been disabled for two years, we will not ask for
proof more than once a year. As a part of any proof, we have the right to
require that the Insured be examined at our expense by doctors of our choice.
Recovery from Disability.--We will stop paying scheduled premiums if (1)
disability ends; or (2) we ask for proof that the Insured is disabled and we do
not receive it;
(Continued on Next Page)
AL 100
II-165
<PAGE>
(Continued from Preceding Page)
or (3) we require that the Insured be examined and he or she fails to do so.
Benefit Premiums and Charges.--We show the premiums for this Benefit under List
of Supplementary Benefits in the Contract Data pages, and these premiums are
included in the Scheduled Premiums shown in these pages. From each premium
payment, we make the deductions shown under Schedule of Expense Charges in these
pages and the balance is the invested premium amount which is added to the
contract fund.
The monthly charge for this Benefit is deducted on each monthly date from the
contract fund. The amount of that charge is included in the Schedule of Monthly
Deductions in the Contract Data pages.
Unscheduled Premiums During Disability.--During a period of disability, even
when we are paying scheduled premiums that fall due, you may make unscheduled
premium payments if you wish, as provided in the Unscheduled Premiums section of
the contract.
Termination.--This Benefit will end and we will make no more scheduled premium
payments for you on the earliest of:
1. the end of the last day of grace if the contract is in default; it will not
continue if a benefit takes effect under any contract value options provision
that may be in the contract;
2. the end of the day before the first contract anniversary after the Insured's
65th birthday, unless the Insured has stayed disabled since before the first
contract anniversary after the 60th birthday;
3. the date the contract is surrendered under its Cash Value Option, if it has
one;
4. the date the contract becomes paid-up; and
5. the date the contract ends for any other reason.

benefit termination date which we show in the Contract Data page(s). For us to
do so, we must receive due proof that he or she died (1) before that date and
(2) while this contract is in force and not in default past the last day of the
grace period. But this promise is subject to all the provisions of this Benefit
and of the rest of this contract
Suicide Exclusion.--If the applicant, whether sane or insane, dies by suicide
within the period that we state in the Suicide Exclusion under General
Provisions and while this Benefit is in force, we will not pay, under this
Benefit, the scheduled premiums we describe above. Instead, we will pay no more
than the sum of the monthly charges deducted for the Benefit divided by .925.
DISABILITY PROVISION
Total Disability Benefit.--Before the benefit termination date, we will pay into
the contract for you on their due dates scheduled premiums that fall due while
the applicant is totally disabled. But this is subject to all the provisions of
this Benefit and of the rest of this contract.
Disability Defined.--When we use the words disability and disabled in this
Benefit we mean total disability and totally disabled. Here is how we define
them: (1) until the applicant has stayed disabled for two years, we mean that he
or she cannot, due to sickness or injury, do any of the duties of his or her
regular occupation; but (2) after the applicant has stayed disabled for two
years, we mean that he or she cannot, due to sickness or injury, do any gainful
work for which he or she is reasonably fitted by education, training, or
experience.
Except for what we state in the next sentence, we will at no time regard an
applicant as disabled who is doing gainful work for which he or she is
reasonably fitted by education, training, or experience. We will regard an
applicant as disabled, even if working or able to work, if he or she incurs,
during a period in which premiums are eligible to be waived as we describe
below, one of the following: (1) permanent and complete blindness of both eyes;
or (2) severance of both hands at or above the wrists or both feet at or above
the ankles; or (3) severance of one hand at or above the wrist and one foot at
or above the ankle.
Premiums Eligible To Be Paid By Us.--lf the applicant becomes disabled before
the first contract anniversary after his or her 65th birthday, we will pay only
those scheduled premiums that fall due (1) while he or she stays disabled; and
(2) before the benefit termination date. If the applicant becomes disabled on or
after (1) the first contract anniversary after his or her 65th birthday, or (2)
the benefit termination date, we will not pay any scheduled premium that falls
due in that period of disability.
Conditions.--Both of these conditions must be met: (1) The applicant must become
disabled while this contract is in force and not in default past the last day of
the grace period. (2) The applicant must stay disabled for a period of at least
six months while living.

disabled from: (1) an injury he causes to himself, or she causes to herself, on
purpose; or (2) sickness or injury due to service on or after the contract date
in the armed forces of any country(ies) at war. The word war means declared or
undeclared war and includes resistance to armed aggression.
Successive Disabilities.--Here is what happens if the applicant has at least one
scheduled premium paid by us while disabled, then gets well so that premium
payment resumes, and then becomes disabled again. In this case, we will not
apply the six-month period that would otherwise be required by Condition (2) and
will consider the second period of disability to be part of the first period
unless (1) the applicant has done gainful work, for which he or she is
reasonably fitted, for at least six months between the periods; or (2) the
applicant became disabled the second time from an entirely different cause.
If we do not apply the six-month period required by Condition (2), we also will
not count the days when there was no disability as part of the two year period
when disability means the applicant cannot do any of the duties of his or her
regular occupation.

on the life of the applicant unless we are given any facts we need to satisfy us
that he or she is insurable for the Benefit.

not correct, here is what we will do. We will change each benefit and any amount
payable to what the premiums and charges would have bought for the correct age
and sex.
Benefit Premiums and Charges.--We show the premiums for this Benefit under the
List of Supplementary Benefits in the Contract Data pages, and these premiums

period of the applicants' disability or because of the applicants' death.

Benefit.--We will pay an amount under this Benefit if we receive due proof that
the Insured died (1) in the term period for the Benefit; and (2) while this
contract is in force and not in default beyond the last day of the grace
period. Any proceeds under this contract that may arise from the Insured's
death will include this amount. But our payment is subject to all the provisions
of the Benefit and of the rest of this contract.
We show the amount of term insurance on the Contract Data page(s). We also show
the term period for the Benefit there. It starts on the contract date, which we
show on the first page. The anniversary at the end of the term period is part of
that period.
CONVERSION TO ANOTHER PLAN OF INSURANCE
Right to Convert.--You may be able to exchange this Benefit for a new contract
of life insurance on the Insured's life in either this company or The
Prudential Insurance Company of America. In any of these paragraphs, when we use
the phrase the company we mean whichever of these companies may issue the new
contract. When we use the phrase new contract we mean the contract for which
this benefit may be exchanged. You will not have to prove that the Insured is
insurable.
Conditions.--Your right to make this exchange is subject to all these
conditions: (1) You must ask for the exchange in writing and in a form that
meets our needs. (2) You must send this contract to us to be endorsed. (3) We
must have your request and the contract at our Service Office while the Benefit
is in force and before the end of its term period.
The new contract will not take effect unless the premiun for it is paid while
the Insured is living and within 31 days after its contract date. If the premium
is paid as we state, it will be deemed that: (i ) the insurance under the new
contract took effect on its contract date; and (2) this Benefit ended just
before that contract date.
Contract Date.--The date of the new contract will be the date you ask for in
your request. But it may not be more than 61 days after the date of your
request. It may not be after the end of the term period for the Benefit. And it
may not be more than 31 days before we have your request at our Service Office.
Contract Specifications.--The new contract will be in the same or an equivalent
rating class as this contract. The company will set the issue age and the
premiums for the new contract in accord with its regular rules in use on the
date of the new contract.
The new contract may call for annual premiums. If the company agrees, you will
be able to have premiums fall due more often.
The contract may be any one of the following:
1. A Life Paid Up at Age 85 plan. In this case the new contract will be issued
by The Prudential Insurance Company of America. Its face amount will be the
amount you ask for in your request. But it cannot be less than $10,000 or more
than the amount of term insurance for this Benefit.
2. A Variable Life contract, if Pruco Life is regularly issuing such contracts
at that time. Its face amount will be the amount you ask for in your request.
But it cannot be less than $25,000 or more than the amount of term insurance
for this Benefit.
3. An Appreciable Life contract, or a Variable Appreciable Life contract if
Pruco Life Insurance Company is regularly issuing such contracts at that time.
Its face amount will be the amount you ask for in your request. But it cannot be
less than $50,000 or more than the amount of term insurance for this Benefit.
The new contract will not have Supplementary Benefits other than as we describe
in this and in the next two paragraphs. If this contract has a benefit for
paying scheduled premiums in the event of disability and the company would
include a benefit for waiving or paying premiums in other contracts like the new
contract, the company will put such a benefit in the new contract. The benefit,
if any, in the new contract will be the same one, with the same provisions,
that the company puts in other contracts like it on its contract date. In this
paragraph, when we use the phrase other contracts like it, we mean contracts the
company would regularly issue on the same plan and for the same rating class,
amount, issue age and sex.
Such a benefit that would have been allowed under this contract, and that would
otherwise be allowed under the new contract, will not be denied just because
disability started before the contract date of the new contract. But any
premium to be waived or paid for that disability under the new contract must be
at the scheduled premium frequency that was in effect for this contract when
the disability started.

CONVERSION TO ANOTHER PLAN OF INSURANCE (Continued)
No premium will be waived or paid for disability under the new contract unless
it has such a benefit in the event of disability. This will be so even if
scheduled premiums have been paid by us for disability under this contract.
Changes.--You may be able to have this Benefit changed to a new contract of life
insurance other than in accord with the requirements for exhange that we state
above. Or you may be able to exchange this Benefit for an increase in the amount
of insuranoe under this contract. But any change may be made only if the company
consents, and will be subject to conditions and charges that are then
determined.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Benefit Premium's and Charges.--We show the premiums for this Benefit under List
of Supplementary Benefits in the Contract Data pages, and these premiums are
included in the Scheduled Premiums shown in these pages. From each premium
payment, we make the deductions shown under Schedule of Expense Charges in these
pages and the balance is the invested premium amount which is added to the
contract fund.
The monthly charge for this Benefit is deducted on each monthly date from the
contract fund. The amount of that charge is included in the Schedule of Monthly
Deductions in the Contract Data pages.
Benefit premiums and monthly charges stop on the contract anniversary at the end
of the term period for this Benefit.
If the Contract Becomes Paid-Up.--If the contract becomes paid-up we will
deduct from the contract fund the present value at that time of future charges
for this Benefit, discounted at a rate we set from time to time but no less than
4% a year. The Benefit will remain in force, but thereafter we will make no
deductions from the contract fund to pay for it. The Benefit will have cash
values but no loan value. The cash value for this Benefit will be the net value
on the date of surrender of the paid-up insurance. But, within 30 days after a
contract anniversary, the net cash value will not be less than it was on that
anniversary. We base this net cash value on the Insured's age and sex. The
Insured's age at any time will be his or her age last birthday on the contract
date plus the length of time since that date. We use the Commissioners 1980
Standard Ordinary Mortality Table. We use continuous functions based on age last
birthday. We use an effective interest rate of 4% a year.
Termination.--This Benefit will end on the earliest of:
1. the end of the last day of grace if the contract is in default; it will not
continue if a benefit take effect under any contract value options provision
that may be in the contract;
2. the end of the last day before the contract date of any other contract (a)
for which the Benefit is exchanged, or (b) to which the Benefit is changed;
3. the date the contract is surrendered under its Cash Value Option, if it has
one; and
4. the date the oontract ends for any other reason,
Further, if you ask us in writing, we will cancel the Benefit as of the first
monthly date on or after we receive your request. Contract premiums and
monthly charges due then and later will be reduced accordingly.

CONVERSION TO ANOTHER PLAN OF INSURANCE
Right to Convert.--You may be able to exchange this Benefit for a new contract
of life insurance on the Insured's life in either this company or The Prudential
Insurance Company of America. In any of these paragraphs, when we use the phrase
the company we ean whichever of these companies may issue the new contract. When
we use the phrase new contract we mean the contract for which this benefit may
be exchanged. You will not have to prove that the Insured is insurable.
Conditions.--Your right to make this exchange is subject to all these
conditions: (1) The amount we would have paid under this Benefit if the Insured
had died just before the contract date of the new contract must be large enough
to meet the minimum for a new contract, as we describe under Contract
Specifications. (2) You must ask for the exchange in writing and in a form that
meets our needs. (3) You must send this contract to us to be endorsed. (4) We
must have your request and the contract at our Service Office while the Benefit
is in force and at least five years before the end of its term period.
The new contract will not take effect unless the premium for it is paid while
the Insured is living and within 31 days after its contract date. If the premium
is paid as we state, it will be deemed that: (1) the insurance under the new
contract took effect on its contract date; and (2) this Benefit ended just
before that contract date.
Contract Date.--The date of the new contract will be the date you ask for in
your request. But it may not be more than 61 days after the date of your
request. It may not be less than five years before the end of the term period
for the Benefit. And it may not be more than 31 days before we have your request
at our Service Office.
Contract Specifications.--The new contract will be in the same or an equivalent
rating class as this contract. The company will set the issue age and the
premiums for the new contract in accord with its regular rules in use on the
date of the new contract.
The new contract may call for annual premiums. If the company agrees, you will
be able to have premiums fall due more often.
The contract may be any one of the following:
1. A Life Paid Up at Age 85 plan. In this case the new contract will be issued
by The Prudential Insurance Company of America. Its face amount will be the
amount you ask for in your request. But it cannot be less than $10,000 or more
than 80% of the amount we would have paid under this Benefit if the Insured had
died just before the contract date of the new contract. (Since $10,000 is 80% of
$12,500. the amount we would have paid must be at least $12,500 for this
exchange to be possible.)
2. A contract like the one to which this Benefit is attached, if Pruco Life is
regularly issuing such contracts at that time. Its face amount will be the
amount you ask for in your request. But it cannot be less than $50,000 or more
than 80% of the amount we would have paid under the Benefit if the Insured had
died just before the contract date of the new contract. (Since $50,000 is 80% of
$62,500, the amount we would have paid must be at least $62,500 for this
exchange to be possible.)
3. A contract of life insurance of a kind regularly being issued by Pruco Life
Insurance Company at that time for $25,000 or more. Its face amount will be the
amount you ask for in your request. But it cannot be less than $25,000 or more
than 80% of the amount we would have paid under the Benefit if the Insured had
died just before the contract date of the new contract. (Since $25,000 is 80% of
$31,250, the amount we would have paid must be at least $31,250 for this
exchange to be possible.)
The new contract will not have Supplementary Benefits other than as we describe
in this and in the next two paragraphs. If this contract has a benefit for
paying scheduled premiums in the event of disability and the company would
include a benefit for waiving or paying premiums in other contracts like the new
contract, the company will put such a benefit in the new contract. The benefit,
if any, in the new contract will be the same one, with the same provisions, that
the company puts in other contracts like it on its contract date. In this
paragraph, when we use the phrase other contracts like it, we mean contracts the
company would regularly issue on the same plan and for the same rating class,
amount, issue age and sex.
Such a benefit that would have been allowed under this contract, and that would
otherwise be allowed under the new contract, will not be denied just because
disability started before the contract date of the new contract. But any premium
to be waived or paid for that disability under the new contract must be at the
scheduled premium frequency that was in effect for this contract when the
disability started.

(Continued from Preceding Page)
No premium will be waived or paid for disability under the new Contract unless
it has such a benefit in the event of disabiIity. This will be so even if
scheduled premiums have been paid by us for disability under this contract.
Changes.--You may be able to have this Benefit changed to a new contract of life
insurance other than in accord with the requirements for exchange that we state
above. Or you may be able to exchange this Benefit for an increase in the amount
of insurance under this contract. But any change may be made only if the company
consents, and will be subject to conditions and charges that are then
determined.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Benefit Premiums and Charges.--We show the premiums for this Benefit under List
of Supplementary Benefits in the Contract Data pages. and these premiums are
included in the Scheduled Premiums shown in these pages. From each premium
payment, we make the deductions shown under Schedule of Expense Charges in these
pages and the balance is the invested premium amount which is added to the
contract fund.
The monthly charge for this Benefit is deducted on each monthly date from the
contract fund. The amount of that charge is included in the Schedule of Monthly
Deductions in the Contract Data pages.
Benefit premiums and monthly charges stop on the contract anniversary at the end
of the term period for this Benefit.
If the Contract Becomes Paid-up.--If the contract becomes paid-up we will deduct
from the contract fund the present value at that time of future charges for this
Benefit, discounted at a rate we set from time to time but no less than 4% a
year. The Benefit will remain in force, but thereafter we will make no
deductions from the contract fund to pay for it. The Benefit will have cash
values but no loan value. The cash value for this Benefit will be the net value
on the date of surrender of the paid-up insurance. But, within 30 days after a
contract anniversary, the net cash value will not be less than it was on that
anniversary. We base this net cash value on the insured's age and sex. The
insured's age at any time will be his or her age last birthday on the contract
date plus the length of time since that date. We use the Commissioners 1980
Standard Ordinary Mortality Table. We use continuous functions based on age last
birthday. We use an effective interest rate of 4% a year.
Termination.--This Benefit will end on the earliest of:
1. the end of the last day of grace if the contract is in default; it will not
continue if a benefit takes effect under any contract value options provision
that may be in the contract;
2. the end of the last day before the contract date of any other contract (a)
for which the Benefit is exchanged, or (b) to which the Benefit is changed;
3. the date the contract is surrendered under its Cash Value Option, if it has
one; and
4. the date the contract ends for any other reason.
Further, if you ask us in writing, we will cancel the Benefit as of the first
monthly date on or after we receive your request. Contract premiums and monthly
charges due then and later will be reduced accordingly.

Read the list of Supplementary Benefits on the Contract Data page(s).
This Benefit is a part of this contract only if it is listed there.
Benefit.--We will pay the beneficiary an amount under this Benefit if we receive
due proof that the Insured died on or after the date of the Benefit but before
the contract date. But our payment is subject to the provisions of the Benefit
and of the rest of this contract. The amount of the Benefit is equal to the
amount of insurance provided by the contract on the contract date. We show the
contract date and the date of the Benefit on the Contract Data page(s).
Changes in Contract Provisions.--This contract has a Suicide Exclusion and an
Incontestability provision. In each of them, we refer to a period of time that
extends from the issue date. But for each of them we will count the time from
the date of this Benefit, not from the issue date.
This contract might have a benefit for the payment of scheduled premiums by us
in the event of disability; it might have one that provides accidental death
coverage. If so, we might refer in either or both of those benefits to the
contract date. But we will use the date of this Benefit, not the contract date.
The first scheduled contract premium is due on the contract date. We will grant
31 days of grace for paying it. This will be so even though we state otherwise
under Grace Period.
Except for the changes we describe above, all the provisions of this contract
will be in effect on and after the contract date if the Insured is then living,
as if the contract did not have this Benefit. The Benefit will not make any
contract value that may be provided by the contract available any sooner.
Benefit Premium.--We show the premium for this Benefit on the Contract Data
page(s). This premium is to be paid on or before the date of the Benefit. It is
not the scheduled premium for the contract. Neither the Benefit nor the premium
for it provides any insurance or changes premiums payable, on or after the
contract date.
Premium Adjustment.--The Insured might die before the contract date. If so, we
will return that part of the premium for this Benefit that is more than was
needed to pay for the Benefit through the date of death. We will add the amount
we return to the amount we would otherwise pay under the Benefit.

OPTION TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL INSURANCE
ON LIFE OF INSURED
Read the list of Supplementary Benefits on the Contract Data page(s).
This Benefit is a part of this contract only if it is listed there.
Benefit.--You have the right under this Benefit to buy more insurance on the
Insured's life in either this company or The Prudential Insurance Company of
America. You may do this for certain normal option dates and advance option
dates, as we explain below. You will not have to prove that the Insured is
insurable. We will provide term insurance for a period before any advance option
dates as we state under Term Insurance below. But these promises are subject to
all the provisions of the Benefit and of the rest of this contract.
In any of these paragraphs when we use the phrase the company we mean whichever
of these companies may issue the new contract.
Normal Option Dates.--These are the anniversaries of this contract on which the
Insured's attained age is 25, 28, 31, 34, 37, 40,43, 46, 49 and 52.
You may buy a new contract for each normal option date if these four statements
apply: (1) You have not used your right for that date by buying a new contract
on an advance option date (we explain this below). (2) The Insured signs an
application for the new contract, and you sign it, too, if you are not the
Insured. (3) We receive the application and the first premium, less the premium
credit that we describe below, at our Service Office not more than 31 days after
the normal option date. (4) On the normal option date, or, if later, the date we
receive the application, the Insured is living and this contract is in force and
not in default past its days of grace. The new contract will take effect on the
later of those two dates. That date will be its contract date.
Your right to buy the new contract will end on the 31st day after the normal
option date. But this will not change your right to buy a new contract for any
later normal or advance option date.
Advance Option Dates.--Except as we state in the next paragraph, an advance
option date is the date three months after any of these events:
1. The Insured's marriage.
2. While the Insured is living, the birth of a live child of the Insured for
whom the Insured accepts legal responsibility.
3. The lnsured's legal adoption of a child.
But the event must take place (1) on or after the later of the date of this
contract and the date of Part l of its application; and (2) not later than the
date that is one month before the contract anniversary on which the Insured's
attained age is 52. If the event takes place less than three months before that
anniversary, the related advance option date will be that anniversary and not
the date three months after the event.
You may buy a new contract for each advance option date if these four statements
apply: (1) The Insured signs an application for the new contract, and you sign
it, too, if you are not the Insured. (2) We receive the application and the
first premium, less the premium credit that we describe below, at our Service
Office not later than the advance option date. (3) The Insured is living on the
advance option date. (4) This contract is in force on that date and not in
default past its days of grace. The new contract will take effect on the advance
option date. That will be its contract date.
Your right to buy the new contract will end on the advance option date. But this
will not change your right to buy a new contract for any later normal or advance
option date.
Each time you buy a new contract for an advance option date, you will have used
your right to buy a new contract for the next normal option date, if any, for
which you could otherwise have bought one. But even if you have used your right
to buy for all normal option dates, advance option dates may still occur as we
state above. If the company lets you combine two or more new contracts you can
buy under this Benefit into one, you will use your right to buy new contracts
for the same number of future normal option dates as if the new contracts had
not been combined.

Term Insurance.--For each event that gives rise to an advance option date, we
will provide term insurance on the Insured's life, as long as this contract is
in force. The term insurance will be automatic. There is no need to ask for it.
Its amount will be the option amount. We will pay that amount if the Insured
dies on or after the date of the event but before (1) the advance option date;
or (2) the date this Benefit ends, if sooner. We will include it in the proceeds
of this contract. But if this contract limits or excludes war or aviation risks,
the term insurance will limit or exclude them in the same way.
Contract Specifications.--The new contract you buy for a normal option date or
advance option date will be in the same or an equivalent rating class as this
contract.
If this contract limits or excludes war or aviation risks, the company will have
the right to limit or exclude them in the new contract, too. If the company does
so, the provision in the new contract will be the same one the company puts in
other contracts like the new one on its contract date. The company will set the
issue age and the premiums for the new contract in accord with its regular rules
in use on the date of the new contract.
The new contract may call for annual premiums. If the company agrees, you will
be able to have premiums fall due more often.
If the option amount for this Benefit which we show in the Contract Data pages
is less than $25,000, the new contract may be one we describe in paragraph 1
below. If the option amount is $25,000 or more, the new contract can be one we
describe in either of paragraphs 1 and 2.
1. A Life Paid Up at Age 85 plan. In this case the new contract will be issued
by The Prudential Insurance Company of America. Its face amount will be the
amount you ask for in your request. But it cannot be less than $10,000, or more
than the option amount for this Benefit.
2. A contract of life insurance of a kind regularly being issued by Pruco Life
Insurance Company at that time for $25,000 or more. Its face amount will be the
amount you ask for in your request. But it cannot be less than $25,000 or more
than the option amount for this Benefit.
The new contract will not have Supplementary Benefits other than as we describe
in this and in the next three paragraphs. If this contract has a benefit for
paying scheduled premiums in the event of disability and the company would
include a benefit for waiving or paying premiums in other contracts like the new
contract, the company will put such a benefit in the new contract.
Such a benefit, that would have been allowed under this contract and that would
otherwise be allowed under the new contract, will not be denied just because
disability started before the contract date of the new contract. But any premium
to be waived or paid for that disability under the new contract must be at the
scheduled premium frequency that was in effect for this contract when the
disability started.
No premium will be waived or paid for disability under the new contract unless
it has such a benefit in the event of disability. This will be so even if
scheduled premiums have been paid by us for disability under this contract.
If this contract has an accidental death benefit, and the company would
regularly issue contracts like the new contract with either that benefit or an
accidental death and dismemberment benefit, the company will put that kind of
benefit in the new contract, as stated in General below. But (1) you must ask
for it when you apply for the new contract; and (2) the amount of any accidental
death benefit in the new contract will not be more than the face amount of the
new contract.
General.--Any benefit for waiving or paying premiums in event of disability and
any accidental death benefit or accidental death and dismemberment benefit in
the new contract will be the same one, with the same provisions,
(Continued on Next Page)

(Continued from Preceding Page)
that the company puts in other contracts like it on its contract date. In any of
these paragraphs, when we use the phrases other contracts like it and other
contracts like the new contract, we mean contracts the company would regularly
issue on the same plan and for the same rating class, amount, issue age and sex.
Changes.--On a normal or advance option date you may be able to buy a new
contract of life insurance other than in accord with the requirements that we
state above. Or you may be able to use the option to increase the amount of
insurance under this contract. But either may be done only if the company
consents, and will be subject to conditions and charges that are then
determined.
Premium Credit.--A premium credit will be allowed on the first premium for the
new contract, if it is of a kind described in paragraph 1 or 2 above. The credit
will be at least $1 for each full $1,000 of face amount of the new contract. If
(1) the new contract calls for premiums to be paid more often than annually; and
(2) the credit would be more than that first premium, you may choose to have
premiums paid less often to get the full credit.
Benefit Premiums and Charges.--We show the premiums for this Benefit under List
of Supplementary Benefits in the Contract Data pages, and these premiums are
included in the Scheduled Premiums shown in these pages. From each premium
payment, we make the deductions shown under Schedule of Expense Charges in these
pages and the balance is the invested premium amount which is added to the
contract fund. The premiums for this Benefit stop on the contract anniversary on
which the Insured's attained age is 52.
The monthly charge for this Benefit is deducted on each monthly date from the
contract fund. The amount of that charge is included in the Schedule of Monthly
Reductions in the Contract Data pages. The charges for this Benefit will stop
on the contract anniversary on which the Insured's attained age's 52.
If the Contract Becomes Paid-up.--lf the contract becomes paid-up before
attained age 52 we will deduct from the contract fund the present value at that
time of future charges for this Benefit, discounted at a rate we set from time
to time, but no less than 4% a year. The Benefit will remain in force until the
earliest of the dates in paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 under Termination below, but
thereafter we will make no deductions from the contract fund to pay for it. The
Benefit will have no cash value.
Termination.--This Benefit will end on the earliest of:
1. the end of the last day of grace if the contract is in default; it will not
continue if a benefit takes effect under any contract value options provision
that may be in the contract;
2. the 31st day after the contract anniversary on which the Insured's attained
age is 52;
3. the date the contract is surrendered under its Cash Value Option, if it has
one; and
4. the date the contract ends for any other reason.
Further, if you ask us in writing, we will cancel the Benefit as of the first
monthly date on or after which we receive your request. Contract premiums due
then and later will be reduced accordingly.

TERM INSURANCE BENEFIT ON LIFE OF INSURED SPOUSE--DECREASING AMOUNT
Read the list of Supplementary Benefits on the Contract Data page(s).
This Benefit is a part of this contract only if it is listed there.
Benefit.--We will pay an amount under this Benefit if we receive due proof that
the insured spouse died (1) in the term period for the Benefit; and (2) while
this contract is in force and not in default beyond the last day of the grace
period. We will pay this amount to the beneficiary for insurance payable upon
the insured spouse's death. But our payment is subject to all the provisions of
the Benefit and of the rest of this contract. The phrase insured spouse means
the Insured's spouse named in the application for this contract.
We will use the table below to compute the amount we will pay. We show the
Initial Amount of Term Insurance under this Benefit on the Contract Data
page(s). We also show the term period for the Benefit there. It starts on the
contract date, which we show on the first page. The anniversary at the end of
the term period is part of that period.

PAID-UP lNSURANCE ON DEATH OF INSURED
Paid-up Insurance on Life of Insured Spouse.--The Insured might die (1) in the
term period for this Benefit; (2) while this contract is in force and not in
default past the last day of the grace period; and (3) while the insured spouse
is living. In this case, the insurance on the life of the insured spouse under
the Benefit will become paid-up term insurance for decreasing amounts. We will
compute these amounts from the Table of Amounts of Insurance. While the paid-up
insurance is in effect, the contract will remain in force until the end of the
term period for the Benefit. The paid-up insurance will have cash values but no
loan value.
If this Benefit becomes paid-up, it may be surrendered for its net cash value.
This will be the net value on the date of surrender of the paid-up insurance.
But, within 30 days after a contract anniversary, the net cash value will not be
less than it was on that anniversary. We base this net cash value on the insured
spouse's age and sex. The insured spouse's age at any time will be his or her
age last birthday on the contract date plus the length of time since that date.
We use the Commissioners 1980 Standard Ordinary Mortality Table. We use
continuous functions based on age last birthday. We use an effective interest
rate of 4% a year.
We will usually pay any cash value promptly. But we have the right to postpone
paying it for up to six months. If we do so for more than 30 days, we will pay
interest at the rate of 3% a year. If we are asked for the values which apply,
we will furnish them.
CONVERSION TO ANOTHER PLAN OF INSURANCE
Right to Convert.--While the Insured is living, you may be able to exchange this
Benefit for a new contract of life insurance on the life of the insured spouse
in either this company or The Prudential Insurance Company of America. In any of
these paragraphs, when we use the phrase the company we mean whichever of these
companies may issue the new contract. And where we use the phrase new contract
we mean the contract for which the Benefit may be exchanged. You will not have
to prove that the insured spouse is insurable.
Conditions.--Your right to make this exchange is subject to all these
conditions: (1) The amount we would have paid under this Benefit if the insured
spouse had died just before the contract date of the new contract must be large
enough to meet the minimum for a new contract, as we describe under Contract
Specifications. (2) You must ask for the exchange in writing and in a form that
meets our needs. (3) You must send this contract to us to be endorsed. (4) We
must have your request and the contract at our Service Office while the Benefit
is in force and at least five years before the end of its term period.
The new contract will not take effect unless the premium for it is paid while
the insured spouse is living and within 31 days after its contract date. If the
premium is paid as we state, it will be deemed that: (1) the insurance under the
new contract took effect on its contract date; and (2) this Benefit ended just
before that contract date.
Contract Date.--The date of the new contract will be the date you ask for in
your request. But it may not be more than 61 days after the date of your
request. It may not be less than five years before the end of the term period
for the Benefit. And it may not be more than 31 days before we have your request
at our Service Office.
Contract Specifications.--The new contract will be in the standard or equivalent
rating class. The company will set the issue age and the premiums for the new
contract in accord with its regular rules in use on the date of the new
contract.
The new contract may call for annual premiums. If the company agrees, you will
be able to have premiums fall due more often.
The contract may be any one of the following:
1. A Life Paid Up at Age 85 plan. In this case the new contract will be issued
by The Prudential Insurance Company of America. Its face amount will be the
amount you ask for in your request. But it cannot be less than $10,000 or more
than 80% of the amount we would have paid under this Benefit if the insured
spouse had died just before the contract date of the new contract. (Since
$10,000 is 80% of $12,500, the amount we would have paid must be at least
$12,500 for this exchange to be possible.)
2. A contract like the one to which this Benefit is attached, if Pruco Life
Insurance Cdmpany is regularly issuing such contracts at that time. Its face
amount will be the amount you ask for in your request. But it cannot be less
than $50,000 or more than 80% of the amount we would have paid under the Benefit
if the insured spouse had died just before the contract date of the new
contract. (Since $50,000 is 80% of $62,500, the amount we would have paid must
be at least $62,500 for this exchange to be possible.)
(Continued an Next Page)
AL 180
II-180
<PAGE>
(Continued from Preceding Page)
3. A contract of life insurance of a kind regularly being issued by Pruco Life
Insurance Company at that time for $25,000 or more. Its face amount will be the
amount you ask for in your request. But it cannot be less than $25,000 or more
than 80% of the amount we would have paid under the Benefit if the insured
spouse had died just before the contract date of the new contract. (Since
$25,000 is 80% of $31,250, the amount we would have paid must be at least
$31,250 for this exchange to be possible.)
The new contract will not have Supplementary Benefits other than as we describe
in this and in the next paragraph. If the company would include in other
contracts like the new contract a benefit for waiving or paying premiums in the
event of disability, here is what the company will do. Even though this contract
does not have such a benefit on the life of the insured spouse, the company will
put it in the new contract on his or her life. The benefit, if any, in the new
contract will be the same one, with the same provisions, that the company puts
in other contracts like it on its contract date. In this paragraph, when we use
the phrase other contracts like it, we mean contracts the company would
regularly issue on the same plan and for the same rating class, amount, issue
age and sex.
No premium will be waived or paid by us for disability under the new contract
unless the disability started on or after its contract date. And no premium will
be waived or paid by us for disability under a new contract unless it has a
benefit for waiving or paying premiums in the event of disability. This will be
so even if scheduled premiums have been paid by us under this contract.
Changes.--You may be able to have this Benefit changed to a new contract of life
insurance other than in accord with the requirements for exchange that we state
above. But any change may be made only if the company consents, and will be
subject to conditions and charges that are then determined.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Ownership and Control.--Unless we endorse this contract to say otherwise, while
the Insured is living the owner alone may exercise all ownership and control of
this contract. This includes, but is not limited to, these rights: (1) to assign
the contract; and (2) to change any subsequent owner. A request for such a
change must be in writing to us at our Service Office and in a form that meets
our needs. The change will take effect only when we endorse the contract to show
it.
Unless we endorse this contract to say otherwise: (1) while any insurance is in
force after the Insured's death, the owner of the contract will be the insured
spouse; and (2) the owner alone will be entitled to (a) any contract benefit and
value, and (b) the exercise of any right and privilege granted by the contract
or by us. But any insurance payable upon the Insured's death will be payable to
the beneficiary for that insurance.
Beneficiary.--The word beneficiary where we use it in this contract without
qualification means the beneficiary for insurance payable upon the death of the
Insured.
Unless we endorse this contract to say otherwise, the beneficiary for insurance
payable upon the death of the insured spouse will be the Insured if living,
otherwise the estate of the insured spouse.
The beneficiary for insurance payable upon the death of the insured spouse may
be changed. The request must be in writing and in a form that meets our needs.
It will take effect only when we file it at our Service Office; this will be
after the contract is sent to us to be endorsed, if we ask for it. Then any
previous beneficiary's interest in such insurance will end as of the date of the
request. It will end then even if the insured spouse is not living when we file
the request. Any beneficiary's interest is subject to the rights of any assignee
of whom we know.
When a beneficiary is designated, any relationship shown is to the Insured,
unless otherwise stated.
Misstatement of Age or Sex.--If the insured spouse's stated age or sex or both
are not correct, we will change each benefit and any amount payable to what the
premiums and charges would have bought for the correct age and sex.
Suicide Exclusion.--If the insured spouse, whether sane or insane, dies by
suicide within the period which we state in the Suicide Exclusion under General
Provisions and while this Benefit is in force, we will not pay the amount we
describe under Benefit above. Instead, we will pay no more than the sum of the
monthly charges deducted for this Benefit to the date of death divided by .925.
We will make that payment in one sum.
Reinstatement.--If this contract is reinstated, it will not include the
insurance that we provide under this Benefit on the life of the insured spouse
unless we are given any facts we need to satisfy us that the insured spouse is
insurable for the Benefit.

(Continued from Preceding Page)
Contract Value Options.--If this contract has a Contract Value Options
provision, it will apply only during the Insured's lifetime. Any extended or
reduced paid-up insurance that may be described there is on the life of the
Insured only.
Contract Loans.--If this contract has a Loans provision, we will not consider
any contract debt when we determine the amount payable, if any, at the death of
the insured spouse.
Incontestability.--Exoept for default, we will not contest this Benefit after it
has been in force during the insured spouse's lifetime for two years from the
issue date.
Benefit Premiums and Charges.--We show the premiums for this Benefit under List
of Supplementary Benefits in the Contract Data pages, and these premiums are
included in the Scheduled Premiums shown in these pages. From each premium
payment, we make the deductions shown under Schedule of Expense Charges in these
pages and the balance is the invested premium amount which is added to the
contract fund.
The monthly charge for this Benefit is deducted on each monthly date from the
contract fund. The amount of that charge is included in the Schedule of Monthly
Deductions in the Contract Data pages.
Benefit premiums and monthly charges stop on the earliest of (1) the death of
the insured, (2) the death of the spouse, and (3) the contract anniversary at
the end of the term period for this Benefit.
If the Contract Becomes Paid-up.--If the contract becomes paid-up we will deduct
from the contract fund the present value at that time of future charges for this
Benefit, discounted at a rate we set from time to time but no less than 4% a
year. The Benefit will remain in force, but thereafter we will make no
deductions from the contract fund to pay for it. The Benefit will have cash
values but no loan value. The basis for determining the net cash value will be
as we state in the second paragraph under Paid-up Insurance above.
Termination.--This Benefit will end on the earliest of:
1. the end of the last day of grace if the contract is in default; it will not
continue if a benefit takes effect under any contract value options provision
that may be in the contract;
2. the end of the last day before the contract date of any other contract (a)
for which the Benefit is exchanged, or (b) to which the Benefit is changed;
3. the date the contract is surrendered under its Cash Value Option, if it has
one, or the paid-up insurance, if any, under the Benefit is surrendered; and
4. the date the contract ends for any other reason.
Further, if you ask us in writing, we will cancel the Benefit as of the first
monthly date on or after we receive your request. Contract premiums and monthly
charges due then and later will be reduced accordingly.

LEVEL TERM INSURANCE BENEFIT ON DEPENDENT CHILDREN
Read the list of Supplementary Benefits on the Contract Data page(s).
This Benefit is a part of this contract only if it is listed there.
Benefit.--We will pay an amount under this Benefit if we receive due proof that
a dependent child died (1) before the term insurance provided by the Benefit on
his or her life ends; and (2) while this contract is in force and not in default
past the last day of the grace period. But our payment is subject to all the
provisions of the Benefit and of the rest of this contract.
The phrase dependent child means the Insured's child, stepchild or legally
adopted child who (1) has reached the 15th day of life; and (2) has not reached
the first contract anniversary after his or her 25th birthday; and either (3) is
named in the application for this contract and on the date of the application
has not reached his or her 18th birthday; or (4) is acquired by the Insured
after the date of the application but before the child's 18th birthday.
We show the amount of term insurance under this Benefit on the Contract Data
page(s). The insurance on each dependent child's life will end on the earlier
of: (1) the day before the first contract anniversary after the child's 25th
birthday; and (2) the day before the first contract anniversary after the
Insured's 65th birthday.
PAID-UP INSURANCE ON DEATH OF INSURED
Paid-up Insurance on Dependent Children.--The Insured might die while this
contract is in force and not in default past the last day of the grace period.
In this case, any term insurance provided by this Benefit on a dependent child's
life will become paid-up term insurance. While this paid-up insurance is in
effect, the contract will remain in force. The paid-up insurance will have cash
values but no loan value.
If this Benefit becomes paid-up, it may be surrendered for its net cash value.
This will be the net value on the date of surrender of the paid-up insurance.
But, within 30 days after a contract anniversary, the net cash value will not
be less than it was on that anniversary. To compute this net cash value, we use
the Commissioners 1980 Standard Ordinary Mortality Table. We use continuous
functions based on age last birthday. We use an effective interest rate of 4% a
year.
We will usually pay any cash value promptly. But we have the right to postpone
paying it for up to six months. If we do so for more than 30 days, we will pay
interest at the rate of 3% a year. If we are asked for the values which apply,
we will furnish them.
CONVERSION OF INSURANCE ON DEPENDENT CHILDREN
Right to Convert.--If the insurance on a dependent child ends as we state in the
last paragraph under Benefit above, that child may be able to obtain a new
contract of life insurance on his or her life, in either this company or The
Prudential Insurance Company of America. In any of these paragraphs, when we use
the phrase the company we mean whichever of these companies may issue the new
contract. It will not be necessary to prove that the child is insurable.
Conditions.--The right to obtain a new contract is subject to all these
conditions: (1) The insurance on the child must end while this contract is in
force and not in defauh past the last day of the grace period. (2) The amount of
the new contract must meet the minimum as we describe under Contract
Specifications. (3) We must have a written application for the new contract at
our Service Office no later than the date the insurance on the child ends.
The new contract will not take effect unless the premium for it is paid while
the child is living and within 31 days after its contract date. If the premium
is paid as we state, it will be deemed that the insurance under the new contract
took effect on its contract date.

(Continued from Preceding Page)
Contract Date.--The date of the new contract will be the day after the date the
insurance on the dependent child ends.
Contract Specifications.--The new contract will be in the standard or an
equivalent rating class. The company will set the issue age and the premiums for
the new contract in accord with its regular rules in use on the date of the new
contract.
The new contract may call for annual premiums. If the company agrees, the owner
of the new contract will be able to have premiums fall due more often.
The contract may be any one of the following:
1. A contract like the one to which this Benefit is attached, if Pruco Life
Insurance Company is regularly issuing such contracts at that time. Its face
amount will be the amount asked for in your request. But it cannot be less than
$50,000 or more than five times the amount of insurance on the child's life
under the Benefit.
2. A Life Paid Up at Age 85 plan (Life Paid Up at Age 65 plan if the issue age
for the new contract is less than 15 years). In this case the new contract will
be issued by The Prudential Insurance Company of America. Its face amount will
be the amount asked for in your request. But it cannot be less than $5,000 or
more than five times the amount of insurance on the child's life under this
Benefit.
3. A contract of life insurance of a kind regularly being issued by Pruco Life
Insurance Company at that time for $25,000 or more. Its face amount will be the
amount you ask for in your request. But it cannot be less than $25,000 or more
than five times the amount of insurance on the child's life under the Benefit.
The new contract will not have Supplementary Benefits other than as we describe
in this and in the next paragraph. If the company would include in other
contracts like the new contract a benefit for waiving or paying premiums in the
event of disability, here is what the company will do. Even though this contract
does not have such a benefit on the life of that child, the company will put it
in the new contract on his or her life. The benefit, if any, in the new contract
will be the same one, with the same provisions, that the company puts in other
contracts like it on its contract date. In this paragraph, when we use the
phrase other contracts like it, we mean contracts the company would regularly
issue on the same plan and for the same rating class, amount, issue age and sex.
No premium will be waived or paid by us for disability under the new contract
unless the disability started on or after its contract date. And no premium will
be waived or paid by us for disability under a new contract unless it has a
benefit for waiving or paying premiums in the event of disability. This will be
so even if scheduled premiums have been paid by us under this contract.
Changes.--If the insurance on a dependent child ends as we state in the last
paragraph under Benefit above, that child may be able to obtain a new contract
of life insurance other than in accord with the requirements we state in this
form. But this kind of change may be made only if the company consents and will
be subject to conditions and charges that are then determined.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Beneficiary.--The word beneficiary where we use it in this contract without
qualification means the beneficiary for insurance payable upon the death of the
Insured.
Unless we endorse this contract to say otherwise, these two statements will
apply: (1) The beneficiary for insurance payable upon the death of a dependent
child will be the Insured if living, otherwise the beneficiary for this
insurance named in the application. (2) If no such beneficiary is living when
insurance under this Benefit becomes payable, we will make the payment in one
sum to the estate of the later to die of the Insured and such beneficiary.
The beneficiary for insurance payable upon the death of a dependent child may be
changed. The request must be in writing and in a form that meets our needs. It
will take effect only when we file it at our Service Office; this will be after
the contract is sent to us to be endorsed, if we ask for it. Then any previous
beneficiary's interest in such insurance will end as of the date of the request.
It will end then even if the child is not living when we file the request. Any
beneficiary's interest is subject to the rights of any assignee of whom we know.
When a beneficiary is designated, any relationship shown is to the Insured,
unless otherwise stated.

insurance that we provide under this Benefit on the dependent children unless
you give us any facts we need to satisfy us that each child who is to be insured
on or within 15 days after the date of reinstatement is insurable for the
Benefit. If you do not give us the facts we need for any child, the Benefit may
be reinstated if all the other conditions are met to reinstate the contract. But
you must send the contract to us to be endorsed to show that the child is not
insured under the Benefit.

provision, it will apply only during the Insured's lifetime. Any extended or
reduced paid-up insurance that may be described there is on the life of the
Insured only.
Contract Loans.--If this contract has a Loans provision, we will not consider
any contract debt when we determine the amount payable, if any, at the death of
a dependent child.
Incontestability.--Except for non-payment of premium, we will not contest this
Benefit with respect to the insurance on any dependent child's life after it has
been in force during the child's lifetime for two years from the issue date.
Benefit Premiums and Charges.--We show the premiums for this Benefit under List
of Supplementary Benefits in the Contract Data pages, and these premiums are
included in the Scheduled Premiums shown in these pages. From each premium
payment, we make the deductions shown under Schedule of Expense Charges in these
pages and the balance is the invested premium amount which is added to the
contract fund.
The monthly charge for this Benefit is deducted on each monthly date from the
contract fund. The amount of that charge is included in the Schedule of Monthly
Deductions in the Contract Data pages.
Benefit premiums and monthly charges stop on the earliest of the death of the
Insured and the first contract anniversary after the Insured's 65th Brithday.
If the Contract Becomes Paid-up.--If the contract becomes paid-up we will deduct
from the contract fund the present value at that time of future charges for this
Benefit, discounted at a rate we set from time to time but no less than 4% a
year. The Benefit will remain in force, but thereafter we will make no
deductions from the contract fund to pay for it. The Benefit will have cash
values but no loan value. The net cash value will be the present value at that
time of the future monthly charges that would then remain to be paid under this
Benefit if the contract had not become paid-up.
Termination.--This Benefit will end on the earliest of:
1. the end of the last day of grace if the contract is in default; it will not
continue if a benefit takes effect under any contract value options provision
that may be in the contract;
2. the end of the day before the first contract anniversary after the Insured's
65th birthday;
3. the date the contract is surrendered under its Cash Value Option, if it has
one, or the paid-up insurance, if any, under the Benefit is surrendered; and
4. the date the contract ends for any other reason.
Further, if you ask us in writing in the premium period, we will cancel the
Benefit as of the first monthly date on or after we receive your request.
Contract premiums and monthly charges due then and later will be reduced
accordingly.

Contract Date.--The date of the new contract will be the day after the date the
insurance on the dependent child ends.
Contract Specifications.--The new contract will be in the standard or an
equivalent rating class. The company will set the issue age and the premiums for
the new contract in accord with its regular rules in use on the date of the new
contract.
The new contract may call for annual premiums. If the company agrees, the owner
of the new contract will be able to have premiums fall due more often.
The contract may be any one of the following:
1. A contract like the one to which this Benefit is attached, if Pruco Life
Insurance Company is regularly issuing such contracts at that time. Its face
amount will be the amount asked for in your request. But it cannot be less than
$50,000 or more than five times the amount of insurance on the child's life
under the Benefit.
2. A Life Paid Up at Age 85 plan (Life Paid Up at Age 65 plan if the issue age
for the new contract is less than 15 years). In this case the new contract will
be issued by The Prudential Insurance Company of America. Its face amount will
be the amount asked for in your request. But it cannot be less than $5,000 or
more than five times the amount of isurance on the child's life under this
Benefit.
3. A contract of life insurance of a kind regularly being issued by Pruco Life
Insurance Company at that time for $25,000 or more. Its face amount will be the
amount you ask for in your request. But it cannot be less than $25,000 or more
than five times the amount of insurance on the child's life under the Benefit.
The new contract will not have Supplementary Benefits other than as we describe
in this and in the next paragraph. If the company would include in other
contracts like the new contract a benefit for waiving or paying premiums in the
event of disability, here is what the company will do. Even though this c5ntract
does not have such a benefit on the life of that child, the company will put it
in the new contract on his or her life. The benefit, if any, in the new contract
will be the same one, with the same provisions, that the company puts in other
contracts like it on its contract date. In this paragraph, when we use the
phrase other contracts like it, we mean contracts the company would regularly
issue on the same plan and for the same rating class, amount, issue age and sex.
No premium will be waived or paid by us for disability under the new contract
unless the disability started on or after its contract date. And no premium will
be waived or paid by us for disability under a new contract unless it has a
benefit for waiving or paying premiums in the event of disability. This will be
so even if scheduled premiums have been paid by us under this contract.
Changes.--If the insurance on a dependent child ends as we state in the last
paragraph under Benefit above, that child may be able to obtain a new contract
of life insurance other than in accord with the requirements we state in this
form. But this kind of change may be made only if the company consents and will
be subject to conditions and charges that are then determined.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Beneficiary.--The word beneficiary where we use it in this contract without
qualification means the beneficiary for insurance payable upon the death of the
Insured.
Unless we endorse this contract to say otherwise, these two statements will
apply: (1) The beneficiary for insurance payable upon the death of a dependent
child will be the Insured if living, otherwise the beneficiary for insurance
payable upon the death of the Insured. (2) If no such beneficiary is living when
insurance under this Benefit becomes payable, we will make the payment in one
sum to the estate of the later to die of the Insured and such beneficiary.
The beneficiary for insurance payable upon the death of a dependent child may be
changed. The request must be in writing and in a form that meets our needs. It
will take effect only when we file it at our Service Office; this will be after
the contract is sent to us to be endorsed, if we ask for it. Then any previous
beneficiary's interest in such insurance will end as of the date of the request.
It will end then even if the child is not living when we file the request. Any
beneficiary's interest is subject to the rights of any assignee of whom we know.
When a beneficiary is designated, any relationship shown is to the Insured,
unless otherwise stated.

Reinstatement.--If this contract is reinstated, it will not include the
insurance that we provide under this Benefit on the dependent children unless
you give us any facts we need to satisfy us that each child who is to be insured
on or within 15 days after the date of reinstatement is insurable for the
Benefit. If you do not give us the facts we need for any child, the Benefit may
be reinstated if all the other conditions are met to reinstate the contract. But
you must send the contract to us to be endorsed to show that the child is not
insured under the Benefit.
Contract Value Options.--If this contract has a Contract Value Options
provision, it will apply only during the Insured's lifetime. Any extended or
reduced paid-up insurance that may be described there is on the life of the
Insured only.
Contract Loans.--If this contract has a Loans provision, we will not consider
any contract debt when we determine the amount payable, if any, at the death of
a dependent child.
Incontestability.--Except for non-payment of premium, we will not contest this
Benefit with respect to the insurance on any dependent child's life after it has
been in force during the child's lifetime for two years from (1) the date the
level term insurance benefit on dependent children began under the earliest
contract; or, if later, (2) the date of any rider that added the child for
coverage under any such earlier contract. But, in any case, if there was a later
reinstatement of any such earlier contract, then the two years will start on the
date of the most recent reinstatement.
Benefit Premiums and Charges.--We show the premiums for this Benefit under List
of Supplementary Benefits in the Contract Data pages, and these premiums are
included in the Scheduled Premiums shown in these pages. From each premium
payment, we make the deductions shown under Schedule of Expense Charges in these
pages and the balance is the invested premium amount which is added to the
contract fund. The monthly charge for this Benefit is deducted on each monthly
date from the contract fund. The amount of that charge is included in the
Schedule of Monthly Deductions in the Contract Data pages.
Benefit premiums and monthly charges stop on the earliest of the death of the
Insured and the first contract anniversary after the Insured's 65th Birthday.
If the Contract Becomes Paid-up.--If the contract becomes paid-up we will deduct
from the contract fund the present value at that time of future charges for this
Benefit, discounted at a rate we set from time to time but no less than 4% a
year. The Benefit will remain in force, but thereafter we will make no
deductions from the contract fund to pay for it. The Benefit will have cash
values but no loan value. The net cash value will be the present value at that
time of the future monthly charges that would then remain to be paid under this
Benefit if the contract had not become paid-up.
Termination.--This Benefit will end on the earliest of:
1. the end of the last day of grace if the contract is in default; it will not
continue if a benefit takes effect under any contract value options provision
that may be in the contract;
2. the end of the day before the first contract anniversary after the Insured's
65th birthday;
3. the date the contract is surrendered under its Cash Value Option, if it has
one, or the paid-up insurance, if any, under the Benefit is surrendered; and
4. the date the contract ends for any other reason.
Further, if you ask us in writing in the premium period, we will cancel the
Benefit as of the first monthly date on or after we receive your request.
Contract premiums and monthly charges due then and later will be reduced
accordingly.

RIDER FOR
LEVEL TERM INSURANCE BENEFIT ON DEPENDENT CHILDREN
Read the list of Supplementary Benefits on the Contract Data page(s).
This Benefit is a part of this contract only if it is listed there.
Benefit.--We will pay an amount under this Benefit if we receive due proof that
a dependent child died (1) before the term insurance provided by the Benefit on
his or her life ends: and (2) while this contract is in force and not in default
past the last day of the grace period. But our payment is subject to all the
provisions of the Benefit and of the rest of this contract.
The phrase dependent child means the Insured's child, stepchild or legally
adopted child who (1) has reached the 15th day of life: and (2) has not reached
the first contract anniversary after his or her 25th birthday: and either (3) is
named in the request for change which is attached to and made a part of this
contract, and on the date of the request has not reached his or her 18th
birthday: or (4) is acquired by the Insured after the date of the request but
before the child's 18th birthday.
We show the amount of term insurance under this Benefit on the Contract Data
page(s). The insurance on each dependent child's life will end on the earlier
of: (1) the day before the first contract anniversary after the child's 25th
birthday: and (2) the day before the first contract anniversary after the
Insured's 65th birthday.
PAID-UP INSURANCE ON DEATH OF INSURED
Paid-up Insurance on Dependent Children.--The Insured might die while this
contract is in force and not in default past the last day of the grace period.
In this case, any term insurance provided by this Benefit on a dependent child's
life will become paid-up term insurance. While this paid-up insurance is in
effect, the contract will remain in force. The paid up insurance will have cash
values but no loan value.
If this Benefit becomes paid-up, it may be surrendered for its net cash value.
This will be the net value on the date of surrender of the paid-up insurance.
But, within 30 days after a contract anniversary, the net cash value will not be
less than it was on that anniversary. To compute this net cash value, we use the
Commissioners 1980 Standard Ordinary Mortality Table. We use continuous
functions based on age last birthday. We use an effective interest rate of 4% a
year.
We will usually pay any cash value promptly. But we have the right to postpone
paying it for up to six months. If we do so for more than 30 days, we will pay
interest at the rate of 3% a year. If we are asked for the values which apply,
we will furnish them.
CONVERSION OF INSURANCE ON DEPENDENT CHILDREN
Right to Convert.--If the insurance on a dependent child ends as we state in the
last paragraph under Benefit above, that child may be able to obtain a new
contract of life insurance on his or her life, in either this company or The
Prudential Insurance Company of America. In any of these paragraphs, when we use
the phrase the company we mean whichever of these companies may issue the new
contract. It will not be necessary to prove that the child is insurable.
Conditions.--The right to obtain a new contract is subject to all these
conditions: (1) The insurance on the child must end while this contract is in
force and not in default past the last day of the grace period. (2) The amount
of the new contract must meet the minimum as we describe under Contract
Specifications. (3) We must have a written application for the new contract at
our Service Office no later than the date the insurance on the child ends.
The new contract will not take effect unless the premium for it is paid while
the child is living and within 31 days after its contract date. If the premium
is paid as we state, it will be deemed that the insurance under the new contract
took effect on its contract date.

the new contract in accord with its regular rules in use on the date of the new
contract.

The contract may be any one of the following:
1. A contract like the one to which this Benefit is attached, if Pruco Life
Insurance Company is regularly issuing such contracts at that time. Its face
amount will be the amount asked for in your request. But it cannot be less than

more than five times the amount of insurance on the child's life under this
Benefit.

than five times the amount of insurance on the child's life under the Benefit.
The new contract will not have Supplementary Benefits other than as we describe
in this and in the next paragraph. If the company would include in other
contracts like the new contract a benefit for waiving or paying premiums in the
event of disability, here is what the company will do. Even though this contract
does not have such a benefit on the life of that child, the company will put it
in the new contract on his or her life. The benefit, if any, in the new contract
will be the same one, with the same provisions, that the company puts in other
contracts like it on its contract date. In this paragraph, when we use the
phrase other contracts like it, we mean contracts the company would regularly
issue on the same plan and for the same rating class, amount, issue age and sex.

unless the disability started on or after its contract date. And no premium will
be waived or paid by us for disability under a new contract unless it has a
benefit for waiving or paying premiums in the event of disability. This will be
so even if scheduled premiums havE been paid by us under this contract.
Changes.--If the insurance on a dependent child ends as we state in the last
paragraph under Benefit above, that child may be able to obtain a new contract
of life insurance other than in accord with the requirements we state in this

be subject to conditions and charges that are then determined.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Beneficiary.--The word beneficiary where we use it in this contract without
qualification means the beneficiary for insurance payable upon the death of the
Insured.
Unless we endorse this contract to say otherwise, the beneficiary for insurance
payable upon the death of a dependent child will be the Insured if living,
otherwise the estate of the Insured.
The beneficiary for insurance payable upon the death of a dependent child may be
changed. The request must be in writing and in a form that meets our needs. It
will take effect only when we file it at our Service Office: this will be after
the contract is sent to us to be endorsed, if we ask for it. Then any previous
beneficiary's interest in such insurance will end as of the date of the request.
It will end then even if the child is not living when we file the request. Any
beneficiary's interest is subject to the rights of any assignee of whom we know.
When a beneficiary is designated, any relationship shown is to the Insured,
unless otherwise stated.

VARIABLE REDUCED PAID-UP INSURANCE
This contract is no longer in force on a premium paying basis. It is being kept
in force as variable reduced paid-up insurance on the Insured's life. as we
state under Contract Value Options in the contract.
The new amount of insurance and its effective date are shown in the attached
Table of Values. Unless otherwise stated in the Table. any contract debt was
deducted when we computed the net cash value that was used to provide the
reduced paid-up insurance.
The cash value of the variable reduced paid-up insurance will continue to vary
according to the investment results in the separate account. There is no
guaranteed minimum cash value under this option.
The death benefit under this option may change from day to day, but it will
never be less than the amount determined as of the day of default. The death
benefit will increase if investment results are in excess of the assumed rate or
mortality charges lower than the maximum rate. The death benefit will decrease
if investment results are less than the assumed rate. but it will not decrease
below the amount determined on the day of default.
As of the effective date shown in the Table each of these items no longer
applies: (11 the Tabular Contract Fund Values and Tabular Cash Values shown on
page 4 in the contract; (2) any Supplementary Benefits or other extra benefits
that were made a part of the contract by rider or endorsement: and (3) any
provisions of the contract that do not apply to the reduced paid-up insurance.
If this contract is reinstated, the contract fund that applies upon
reinstatement is as we state under Premium Payment and Reinstatement. The cash
value and net cash value will be as we state under Contract Value Options.
The attached Table shows values at the ends of contract years. If we need to
compute values at some time during a contract year, we will count the time since
the start of the year. We will let you know the values for other durations if
you ask for them.

ENDORSEMENTS
(Only we can endorse this contract.)
ALTERATION OF TEXT
The provision of this policy entitled "Interest Charge" is replaced at issue by
the following:
Interest Charge.--We will charge interest daily on any loan. Interest is due on
each contract anniversary, or when the loan is paid back if that comes first. If
interest is not paid when due, it will become part of the loan. Then we will
start to charge interest on it, too.
The loan interest rate is the annual rate we set from time to time. The rate
will never be greater than is permitted by law. It will change only on a
contract anniversary.
Before the start of each contract year, we will determine the loan interest rate
we can charge for that contract year.
To do this, we will first find the rate that is the greater of (1) The Published
Monthly Average (which we describe below) for the calendar month ending two
months before the calendar month of the contract anniversary; and (2) the
assumed rate of return for this contract, plus 1%.
If that greater rate is at least 1/2% more than the loan interest rate we had
set for the current contract year, we have the right to increase the loan
interest rate by at least 1/2%, up to that greater rate. If it is at least 1/2%
less, we will decrease the loan interest rate to be no more than the greater
rate. We will not change that loan interest rate by less than 1/2%.
When you make a loan we will tell you the initial interest rate for the loan. We
will send you a notice if there is to be an increase in the rate.
The Published Monthly Average means:
1. Moody's Corporate Bond Yield Average--Monthly Average Corporates, as
published by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or any successor to that service;
or
2. If that average is no longer published, a substantially similar average,
established by the insurance regulator where this contract is delivered.
Example 1: Suppose the contract date is in 1987. Six months before the
anniversary in 1996 you borrow $1,000 out of a $4,000 loan value. Assume we
charge 8% a year. Three months later, but still three months before the
anniversary, we will have charged about $20 interest. This amount will be a few
cents more or less than $20 since some months have more days than others. The
interest will not be due until the anniversary unless the loan is paid back
sooner. The loan will still be $1,000. The contract debt will be $1,020, since
contract debt includes interest charged but not yet due. On the anniversary in
1996 we will have charged about $40 interest. The interest will then be due.
Example 2: Suppose the $40 interest in example 3 is paid on the anniversary. The
loan and contract debt will each become $1,000 right after the payment.
Example 3: Suppose the $40 interest in example 3 is not paid on the anniversary.
The interest will become part of the loan, and we will begin to charge interest
on it, too. The loan and contract debt will each become $1,040.
The provision of this policy entitled "Effect of a Loan" is amended at issue by
the addition of this statement.
Any reference in the provision entitled "Effect of a Loan" to "4% a year" is
replaced by "1% less than the loan interest rate for the contract year."

date.
OPTION TO INCREASE OR DECREASE FACE AMOUNT
INCREASE IN FACE AMOUNT
Right to Increase Face Amount.--On or after the first contract anniversary, but
no earlier than January 1, 1987 in any event, you may be able to increase
the face amount of this contract. The effective date of the increase will
be the date you choose in your request, but see "Effective Date of
Increase" below. The increased face amount will be the amount you choose,
but see "Conditions" below.
Conditions.--Your right to increase face amount is subject to all these
conditions:
(1) You must ask for the increase in writing on a form which meets our
needs.
(2) The amount of the immediate increase in face amount must be at least
$25,000. This contract may be one that was issued below age 15, where
the initial face amount increases by 50% at age 21. (See "Increase in
Face Amount at Age 21 for Contracts Issued at Age 14 or Lower" on page
6.) If so, when a request for increase is made before age 21, it is the
amount of the immediate increase in face amount which must be at least
$25,000.
(3) The insured must give us any facts we need to satisfy us that he or she
is then insurable for the amount of increase.
(4) If we request, you must send us the contract to be endorsed.
(5) The contract must not be paid-up or in defauit on the effective date of
the increase. We must not be waiving or paying premiums on the
effective date of the increase because of the disability of the
insured, or of the applicant in the case of a contract which was issued
below age 15. Nor may the contract be in the six month waiting period
after the beginning of disability, required before disability benefits
begin.
(6) You must pay a premium as determined by us, at the time of the
increase.
II-198
<PAGE>
-2-
(7) More than one increase may be made in a contract year only with our
consent.
(8) Between the contract date and the effective date requested by you for
the increase, we may have changed any of the bases for determining
benefits or computing charges for newly issued contracts of the same
kind. If so, we have the right to deny the request for increase.
Recomputations.--When you request an increase in face amount, we will recompute
the scheduled premiums, deferred sales and underwriting charges, tabular
values and monthly deductions from the contract fund for the contract. You
may, if permitted by applicable state law, decide whether you want us to
recompute these amounts as of the last previous or next following contract
anniversary. The amount of payment required on the date of increase,
(condition 6 above,) will depend upon the anniversary you choose for
recomputing. We will tell you the amount of payment required for each
anniversary.
Effective Date of Increase.--The effective date of increase will be the date you
choose or, if later, the date when we have all of the following: your
properly completed request, any required evidence of the insurability of
the insured, and the required payment. (See Conditions 1, 3, and 6 above.)
Evidence of Increase.--Upon an increase in face amount we will send you
endorsement pages for your contract or endorse your contract ourselves,
(see Condition 4 above,) with pages which provide the recomputed amounts
mentioned above and describe how the increase in face amount affects other
contract provisions.
Suicide Exclusion and Incontestability.--Upon an increase in face amount, the
period stated in the Suicide Exclusion and Incontestability provisions on
page__will begin, for the amount of increase, on the effective date of the
increase and not on the contract date or on other earlier date(s) which may
apply to any previous increase(s).
Right to Cancel Contract and Exchange of Contract.--Upon an increase in face
amount, these rights, described on the cover of this contract and on page
___, will apply to the amount of the increase. The periods within which you
may exercise your Right to Cancel will, for the amount of increase in face
amount only, run from the last to occur of (1) 45 days after you sign the
request for the increase; (2) 10 days after receipt of the endorsement or
endorsed contract; and (3) 10 days after receipt of the Notice of
Withdrawal Right as it pertains
II-199
<PAGE>
-3-
to the increase in face amount. When we receive your request to cancel,
the increase in face amount will be canceled from the start and we will
promptly give you back the total premiums paid for and since the increase
which can be attributed to the increase. Charges deducted since the
increase will be recomputed as though there had been no increase. Scheduled
premiums, deferred sales and underwriting charges, tabular values and
monthly deductions will be restored to what they would have been if there
were no increase.
The right to exchange as described under Exchange of Contract on page ___
will exist for the amount of the increase for 24 months after the effective
date of the increase.
Exercise of Contract Value Options After Increase in Face Amount.--If the
contract is in default past its days of grace or is surrendered after one
or more increases in face amount, here is what we will do. In computing the
net cash value to be paid on surrender or to be used in determining the
period of extended insurance or amount of variable reduced paid-up
insurance, (see Contract Value Options, page ___,) any surrender used in
the calculation will be the sum of: (a) the surrender charge that would
have applied in this situation if there had been no increase in face
amount; and (b) the surrender charge(s) that would have applied if each
increase in face amount had been achieved by the issuance of a new contract
that is in default past its days of grace or is being surrendered. For the
purposes of making this calculation all premiums paid after an increase in
face amount are deemed to have been made in part in payment for the face
amount of the contract not considering any increase(s) in face amount, and
in part in payment for each increase, in the same proportion as the portion
of the scheduled premium that applies to each of these parts.
DECREASE IN FACE AMOUNT
Right to Decrease Face Amount.--On or after the first contract anniversary, but
no earlier than January 1, 1987 in any event, you may be able to decrease
the face amount of this contract. The effective date of the decrease will
be the first monthly date after you ask for the decrease on a form which
meets our needs.
Conditions.--Your right to decrease face amount is subject to all these
conditions:
(1) You must ask for the decrease in writing on a form which meets our
needs.
II-200
<PAGE>
-4-
(2) The amount of the decrease in face amount must be at least $10,000, and
may not reduce the face amount to less than $50,000. This contract may
be one that was issued below age 15, where the initial face amount
increases by 50% at age 21. (See "increase in Face Amount at Age 21 for
Contracts Issued at Age 14 or Lower" on page 6.) If so, when a request
for decrease is made before age 21, it may not reduce the face amount
immediately after the decrease to less than $33,333.
(3) If we request, you must send us the contract to be endorsed.
(4) The contract must not be paid-up or in default past its days of grace
on the effective date of the decrease.
(5) More than one decrease may be made in a contract year only with our
consent.
(6) The amount of the decrease in face amount may not be so great as to
cause the contract to fail to qualify as life insurance under
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
Effect of Decrease.--A decrease made in accord with this provision will decrease
the face amount of the contract without a corresponding reduction in the
contract fund. This differs from a partial withdrawal (see page ___) which
(reduces both face amount and contract fund). At present this will require
a separate form for each type of VAL (reduces the contract fund but not the
face amount).
A $15 processing fee is charged when a decrease is made. You may choose to
pay the charge in cash, but if not, it will be deducted from the contract
fund. The contract fund will also be reduced by the amount of any surrender
charge that may apply to the decrease.
A decrease in face amount will cause proportionate reductions in scheduled
premiums, tabular values, any remaining schedule of surrender charges, the
monthly charges for administration, mortality risk and cost of expected
mortality, and any charge for extra rating class. There may also be a
reduction in any charge for extra benefits, if the amount of such benefits
are affected by the decrease.
II-201
<PAGE>
-5-
Evidence of Decrease.--Upon decrease in face amount we will send you endorsement
pages for your contract or endorse your contract ourselves, (see Condition
3 above,) with pages which provide the recomputed amounts mentioned above
and described how the decrease in face amount affects other contract
provisions.

Insured Rider for Policy No.
SUPPLEMENTARY MONTHLY RENEWABLE NON-CONVERTIBLE
ONE MONTH TERM INSURANCE
Monthly Term Insurance.--Under this rider, we will provide monthly term
insurance on the Insured's life. We will do this during any Contract Month which
begins on a Monthly Date on which the contract is not in default.
You will not have to prove to us that the Insured is insurable to continue this
insurance from month to month provided the rider has not ended as described in
the Termination section. We make these promises subject to all the provisions of
this rider and of the rest of this contract.
The amount of insurance provided by this rider is included in the Basic Amount
as modified by this rider (see Table of Basic Amounts). The insurance for any
contract month will start on the Monthly Date which begins that Contract Month;
it will end at the end of the day before the next Monthly Date.
We will deduct the charge for monthly term insurance under this rider from the
contract fund. The charge will be no more than the amount we describe under
Maximum Guaranteed Charges. We may deduct a smaller charge as we describe under
Current Rates.
TABLE OF AMOUNTS OF INSURANCE
Tabular Amounts.--We show here the tabular amount of insurance for each $1,000
of Initial Amount of Term Insurance if death occurs in the contract year that
begins when the insured is the attained age shown. The tabular amount of
insurance at any time is equal to the appropriate amount shown below times the
number of $1,000's of Initial Amount of Term Insurance, including any fraction,
shown on the Contract Data page(s).
Example: Suppose the Initial Amount of Term Insurance is $100,500. The number of
$1,000's of Initial Amount of Term Insurance is 100.5. The tabular amount of
insurance is $100,500 at attained age 70 and $50,250 at attained age 86.

Target Amount.--We compute the Target Amount on each Monthly Date. It will be
the larger of the amounts in (1) and (2), where
(1) is the tabular amount of insurance under this rider;
(2) is the amount of insurance, but not more than the Initial Amount of Term
Insurance, that can be provided at then current rates (which we describe under
Current Rates) by a charge equal to the maximum guaranteed charge for the
tabular amount of insurance under this rider.
Rider Premiums and Charges.--We show the premiums for this rider in the Contract
Data pages, and these premiums are included in the Scheduled Premiums shown in
these pages. From each premium payment, we make the deductions shown under
Schedule of Expense Charges in these pages; the balance is the invested premium
amount which is added to the contract fund. We will deduct from the contract
fund on each Monthly Date, for the insurance we provide under this rider, a
charge for any portion of the basic amount which exceeds the contract fund and
for which we do not otherwise charge under the terms of the contract or under
the terms any extra benefit other than this rider.
Maximum Guaranteed Charges.--The maximum guaranteed charges per $1,000 of
Initial Amount of Term Insurance are included in the Schedule of Monthly
Deductions in the Contract Data pages. The amount we deduct on a Monthly Date
will not be more than this charge multiplied by the number of $1,000's of
Initial Amount of Term Insurance.
Current Rates.--From time to time we will set the current rates based on the
Insured's rating class, sex and attained age for the insurance we provide under
this rider. They will not be more than the maximum guaranteed rates. We will set
rates based on our expectations as to future experience. At least once every
five years, but not more often than once a year, we will consider the need to
change the rates. We will change them only if we do so for all riders like this
one dated in the same year as this one.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
General.--Where there is no conflict with this rider, the provisions of this
contract will also apply to the rider.
Paid-up Contract. - The Paid-up Contract section of the contract is amended by
adding the following sentence. In no event will this contract become fully
paid-up prior to the termination of rider VALA 500.
Basic Amount.--While this rider remains in force, the Table of Basic Amounts in
the contract is replaced with the table that follows. We have made this change
so the contract and this rider together will comply with Section 7702 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1954 as amended.

Unscheduled Premiums.--The second paragraph of the Unscheduled Premiums
provision is amended by adding the following sentence: Or if we determine at any
time that the amount of insurance provided by the contract fund at the net
single premium rate exceeds the face amount, plus the Target Amount, then, we
have the right to refuse to accept further premium payments, or to limit the
amount or frequency of premium payments thereafter.
Termination.--This rider will end on the earliest of:
1. the end of the last day of grace if the contract is in default; it will not
continue if a benefit takes effect under any contract value options provision
that may be in the contract;
2. the end of the day before the anniversary on which the Insured's attained age
is 100;
3. the date the contract is surrendered under its Cash Value Option; and
4. the date the contract ends for any other reason.
Further, if you ask us in writing, we will cancel the rider as of the first
Monthly Date on or after we receive your request. Contract premiums and monthly
charges due then and later will be reduced accordingly.

PRUCO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
Insured Rider for Policy No.
SUPPLEMENTARY MONTHLY RENEWABLE NON-CONVERTIBLE
ONE MONTH TERM INSURANCE
Monthly Term Insurance.--Under this rider, we will provide monthly term
insurance on the Insured's life. We will do this during any Contract Month which
begins on a Monthly Date on which the contract is not in default.
You will not have to prove to us that the Insured is insurable to continue this
insurance from month to month provided the rider has not ended as described in
the Termination section. We make these promises subject to all the provisions of
this rider and of the rest of this contract.
The amount of insurance during any Contract Month will be the Target Amount
(which we describe under Target Amount) for that Contract Month. The insurance
will start on the Monthly Date which begins that Contract Month; it will end at
the end of the day before the next Monthly Date. Any proceeds under this
contract that may arise from the Insured's death while this rider is in force
will include the Target Amount.
We will deduct the charge for monthly term insurance under this rider from the
contract fund. The charge will be no more than the amount we describe under
Maximum Guaranteed Charges. We may deduct a smaller charge as we describe under
Current Rates.
TABLE OF AMOUNTS OF INSURANCE
Tabular Amounts.--We show here the tabular amount of insurance for each $1,000
of Initial Amount of Term Insurance if death occurs in the contract year that
begins when the insured is the attained age shown. The tabular amount of
insurance at any time is equal to the appropriate amount shown below times the
number of $1,000's of Initial Amount of Term Insurance, including any fraction,
shown on the Contract Data page(s).
Example: Suppose the Initial Amount of Term Insurance is $100,500. The number of
$1,000's of Initial Amount of Term Insurance is 100.5. The tabular amount of
insurance is $100,500 at attained age 70 and $50,250 at attained age 86.

Target Amount.--We compute the Target Amount on each Monthly Date. It will be
the larger of the amounts in (1) and (2), where:
(1) is the tabular amount of insurance under this rider; and
(2) is the amount of insurance, but not more than the Initial Amount of Term
Insurance, that would be provided at then current rates (which we describe under
Current Rates) by a charge equal to the maximum guaranteed charge for the
tabular amount of insurance under this rider.
Rider Premiums and Charges.--We show the premiums for this rider in the Contract
Data pages, and these premiums are included in the Scheduled Premiums shown in
these pages. From each premium payment, we make the deductions shown under
Schedule of Expense Charges in these pages; the balance is the invested premium
amount which is added to the contract fund.
Maximum Guaranteed Charges.--The maximum guaranteed charges per $1,000 of
Initial Amount of Term Insurance are included in the Schedule of Monthly
Deductions in the Contract Data pages. The amount we deduct on a Monthly Date
will not be more than this charge multiplied by the number of $1,000's of
Initial Amount of Term Insurance.
Current Rates.--From time to time we will set the current rates based on the
Insured's rating class, sex and attained age for the insurance we provide under
this rider. They will not be more than the maximum guaranteed rates. We will set
rates based on our expectations as to future experience. At least once every
five years, but not more often than once a year, we will consider the need to
change the rates. We will change them only if we do so for all riders like this
one dated in the same year as this one.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
General.--Where there is no conflict with this rider, the provisions of this
contract will also apply to the rider.
Paid-up Contract.--The Paid-up Contract section of the contract is amended by
adding the following sentence. In no event will this contract become fully
paid-up prior to the termination of rider VALB 500.
Basic Amount.--While this rider remains in force, the Table of Basic Amounts in
the contract is replaced with the table that follows. We have made this change
so the contract and this rider together will comply with Section 7702 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1954 as amended. We will deduct from the contract fund
on each Monthly Date a charge for any portion of the basic amount which exceeds
the contract fund and for which we do not otherwise charge under the terms of an
extra benefit. We will deem this portion of the basic amount, and the charge for
it, to be made under the terms of the contract and not under this rider.

insurance provided by the contract fund at the net single premium rate;

Unscheduled Premiums.--The second paragraph of the Unscheduled Premiums
provision is amended by adding the following sentence: Or if we determine at any
time that the amount of insurance provided by the contract fund at the net
single premium rate exceeds the face amount, plus any excess of the contract
fund over the tabular contract fund, plus the Target Amount, then, we have the
right to refuse to accept further premium payments, or to limit the amount or
frequency of premium payments thereafter.
Termination.--This rider will end on the earliest of:
1. the end of the last day of grace if the contract is in default; it will not
continue if a benefit takes effect under any contract value options provision
that may be in the contract;
2. the end of the day before the anniversary on which the Insured's attained age
is 100;
3. the date the contract is surrendered under its Cash Value Option; and
4. the date the contract ends for any other reason.
Further, if you ask us in writing, we will cancel the rider as of the first
Monthly Date on or after we receive your request. Contract premiums and monthly
charges due then and later will be reduced accordingly.

CONVERSION TO ANOTHER PLAN OF INSURANCE
Right To Convert.--You may be able to exchange this Benefit for a new contract
of life insurance on the Insured's life in either this company or The Prudential
Insurance Company of America. In any of these paragraphs, when we use the phrase
the company we mean whichever of these companies may issue the new contract.
And where we use the phrase new contract we mean the contract for which the
Benefit may be exchanged. You will not have to prove that the Insured is
insurable.
Conditions.--Your right to make this exchange is subject to all these
conditions: (1) The amount we would have paid under this Benefit if the Insured
had died just before the contract date of the new contract must be large enough
to meet the minimum for a new contract, as we describe under Contract
Specifications. (2) You must ask for the exchange in writing and in a form that
meets our needs. (3) You must send this contract to us to be endorsed. (4) We
must have your request and the contract at our Service Office while the Benefit
is in force and at least five years before the end of its term period.
The new contract will not take effect unless the premium for it is paid while
the Insured is living and within 31 days after its contract date. If the premium
is paid as we state, it will be deemed that: (1) the insurance under the new
contract took effect on its contract date; and (2) this Benefit ended just
before that contract date.
Contract Date.--The date of the new contract will be the date you ask for in
your request. But it may not be more than 61 days after the date of your
request. It may not be less than five years before the end of the term period
for the Benefit. And it may not be more than 31 days before we have your request
at our Service Office.
Contract Specifications.--The new contract will be in the same rating class as
this contract. The company will set the issue age and the premiums for the new
contract in accord with its regular rules in use on the date of the new
contract.
(Continued on Next Page)
AL 136
II-219
<PAGE>
(Continued from Preceding Page)
The new contract may call for annual premiums. If the company agrees, you will
be able to have premiums fall due more often.
The contract may be any one of the following:
1. A Life Paid Up at Age 85 plan. In this case the new contract will be issued
by The Prudential Insurance Company of America. Its face amount will be the
amount you ask for in your request. But it cannot be less than $10,000 or more
than 80% of the amount we would have paid under this Benefit if the Insured had
died just before the contract date of the new contract. (Since $10,000 is 80%
of $12,500, the amount we would have paid must be at least $12,500 for this
exchange to be possible.)
2. A contract like the one to which this Benefit is attached, if Pruco Life is
regularly issuing such contracts at that time. Its face amount will be the
amount you ask for in your request. But it cannot be less than $50,000 or more
than 80% of the amount we would have paid under the Benefit if the Insured had
died just before the contract date of the new contract. (Since $50,000 is 80% of
$62,500, the amount we would have paid must be at least $62,500 for this
exchange to be possible.)
3. A contract of life insurance of a kind regularly being issued by Pruco Life
Insurance Company at that time for $25,000 or more. Its face amount will be the
amount you ask for in your request. But it cannot be less than $25,000 or more
than 80% of the amount we would have paid under the Benefit if the Insured had
died just before the contract date of the new contract. (Since $25,000 is 80% of
$31,250, the amount we would have paid must be at least $31,250 for this
exchange to be possible.)
The new contract will not have Supplementary Benefits other than as we describe
in this and in the next two paragraphs. If this contract has a benefit for
paying scheduled premiums in the event of disability and the company would
include a benefit for waiving or paying premiums in other contracts like the new
contract, the company will put such a benefit in the new contract. The benefit,
if any, in the new contract will be the same one, 'with the same provisions,
that the company puts in other contracts like it on its contract date. In this
paragraph, when we use the phrase other contracts like it, we mean contracts the
company would regularly issue on the same plan and for the same rating class,
amount, issue age and sex.
Such a benefit that would have been allowed under this contract, and that would
otherwise be allowed under the new contract, will not be denied just because
disability started before the contract date of the new contract. But any premium
to be waived or paid for that disability under the new contract must be at the
scheduled premium frequency that was in effect for this contract when the
disability started.
No premium will be waived or paid for disability under the new contract unless
it has such a benefit in the event of disability. This will be so even if
scheduled premiums have been paid by us for disability under this contract.
Changes.--You may be able to have this Benefit changed to a new contract of life
insurance other than in accord with the requirements for exchange that we state
above. Or you may be able to exchange this Benefit for an increase in the amount
of insurance under this contract. But any change may be made only if the company
consents, and will be sublect to conditions and charges that are then
determined.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Benefit Premiums and Charges.--We show the premiums for this Benefit under List
of Supplementary Benefits in the Contract Data pages, and these premiums are
included in the Scheduled Premiums shown in these pages. From each premium
payment, we make the deductions shown under Schedule of Expense Charges in these
pages and the balance is the invested premium amount which is added to the
contract fund.
The monthly charge for this Benefit is deducted on each monthly date from the
contract fund. The amount of that charge is included in the Schedule of Monthly
Deductions in the Contract Data pages.
Benefit premiums and monthly charges stop on the contract anniversary at the end
of the term period for this Benefit.
If the Contract Becomes Paid-up.--If the contract becomes paid-up we will deduct
from the contract fund the present value at that time of future charges for this
Benefit, discounted at a rate we set from time to time but no less than 4% a
year. The Benefit will remain in force, but thereafter we will make no
deductions from the contract fund to pay for it. The Benefit will have cash
values but no loan value. The cash value for this Benefit will be the net value
on the date of surrender of the paid-up insurance. But, within 30 days after a
contract anniversary, the net cash value will not be less than it was on that
anniversary. We base this net cash value on the
(Continued on Next Page)
AL 136
II-220
<PAGE>
(Continued from Preceding Page)
Insured's age and sex. The insured's age at any time will be his or her age last
birthday on the contract date plus the length of time since that date. We use
the Commissioners 1980 Standard Ordinary Mortality Table. We use continuous
functions based on age last birthday. We use an effective interest rate of 4% a
year.
Termination.--This benefit will end on the earliest of:
1. the end of the last day of grace if the contract is in default; it will not
continue if a benefit takes effect under any contract value options provision
that may be in the contract;
2. the end of the last day before the contract date of any other contract (a)
for which the Bnefit is exchanged, or (b) to which the benefit is changed;
3. the date the contract is surrendered under its Cash Value Option, if it has
one; and
4. the date the contract ends for any other reason.
Further, if you ask us in writing, we will cancel the Benefit as of the first
monthly date on or after we receive your request. Contract premiums and monthly
charges due then and later will be reduced accordingly.

RIDER FOR
TERM INSURANCE BENEFIT ON LIFE OF INSURED SPOUSE
DECREASING AMOUNT AFTER THREE YEARS
Read the list of Supplementary Benefits on the Contract Data page(s).
This Benefit is a part of this contract only if it is listed there.
Benefit.--We will pay an amount under this Benefit if we receive due proof that
the insured spouse died (1) in the term period for the Benefit; and (2) while
this contract is in force and not in default beyond the last day of the grace
period. We will pay this amount to the beneficiary for insurance payable upon
the insured spouse's death. But our payment is subject to all the provisions of
the Benefit and of the rest of this contract. The phrase insured spouse means
the Insured's spouse named in the application for this contract.
We will use the table below to compute the amount we will pay. We show the
Initial Amount of Term Insurance under this Benefit on the Contract Data
page(s). We also show the term period for the Benefit there. It starts on the
contract date, which we show on the first page. The anniversary at the end of
the term period is part of that period.
TABLE OF AMOUNTS OF INSURANCE
Amounts Payable.--We show here the amount we will pay, based on the insured
spouse's issue age, for each $1,000 of Initial Amount of Term Insurance if death
occurs in the contract year ending with the anniversary shown.

PAID-UP INSURANCE ON DEATH OF INSURED
Paid-up Insurance on Life of Insured Spouse.--The Insured might die (1) in the
term period for this Benefit; (2) while this contract is in force and not in
default past the last day of the grace period; and (3) while the insured spouse
is living. In this case, the insurance on the life of the insured spouse under
the Benefit will become paid-up term insurance for decreasing amounts. We will
compute these amounts from the Table of Amounts of Insurance. While the paid-up
insurance is in effect, the contract will remain in force until the end of the
term period for the Benefit. The paid-up insurance will have cash values but no
loan value.
If this Benefit becomes paid-up, it may be surrendered for its net cash value.
This will be the net value on the date of surrender of the paid-up insurance.
But, within 30 days after a contract anniversary, the net cash value will not be
less than it was on that anniversary. We base this net cash value on the insured
spouse's age and sex. The insured spouse's age at any time will be his or her
age last birthday on the contract date plus the length of time since that date.
We use the Commissioners 1980 Standard Ordinary Mortality Table. We use
continuous functions based on age last birthday. We use an effective interest
rate of 4% a year.
We will usually pay any cash value promptly. But we have the right to postpone
paying it for up to six months. If we do so for more than 30 days, we will pay
interest at the rate of 3% a year. If we are asked for the values which apply,
we will furnish them.
CONVERSION TO ANOTHER PLAN OF INSURANCE
Right to Convert.--While the Insured is living, you may be able to exchange this
Benefit for a new contract of life insurance on the life of the insured spouse
in either this company or The Prudential Insurance Company of America. In any of
these paragraphs, when we use the phrase the company we mean whichever of these
companies may issue the new contract. And where we use the phrase new contract
we mean the contract for which the Benefit may be exchanged. You will not have
to prove that the insured spouse is insurable.
Conditions.--Your right to make this exchange is subject to all these
conditions: (1) The amount we would have paid under this Benefit if the insured
spouse had died just before the contract date of the new contract must be large
enough to meet the minimum for a new contract, as we describe under Contract
Specifications. (2) You must ask for the exchange in writing and in a form that
meets our needs. (3) You must send this contract to us to be endorsed. (4) We
must have your request and the contract at our Service Office while the Benefit
is in force and at least five years before the end of its term period.
The new contract will not take effect unless the premium for it is paid while
the insured spouse is living and within 31 days after its contract date. If the
premium is paid as we state, it will be deemed that: (1) the insurance under the
new contract took effect on its contract date; and (2) this Benefit ended just
before that contract date.
Contract Date.--The date of the new contract will be the date you ask for in
your request. But it may not be more than 61 days after the date of your
request. It may not be less than five years before the end of the term period
for the Benefit. And it may not be more than 31 days before we have your request
at our Service Office.
Contract Specifications.--The new contract will be in the standard or equivalent
rating class. The company will set the issue age and the premiums for the new
contract in accord with its regular rules in use on the date of the new
contract.
The new contract may call for annual premiums. If the company agrees, you will
be able to have premiums fall due more often.
The contract may be any one of the following:
1. A Life Paid Up at Age 85 plan. In this case the new contract will be issued
by The Prudential Insurance Company of America. Its face amount will be the
amount you ask for in your request. But it cannot be less than $10,000 or more
than 80% of the amount we would have paid under this Benefit if the insured
spouse had died just before the contract date of the new contract. (Since
$10,000 is 80% of $12,500, the amount we would have paid must be at least
$12,500 for this exchange to be possible.)
2. A contract like the one to which this Benefit is attached, if Pruco Life
Insurance Company is regularly issuing such contracts at that time. Its face
amount will be the amount you ask for in your request. But it cannot be less
than $50,000 or more than 80% of the amount we would have paid under the Benefit
if the insured spouse had died just before the contract date of the new
contract. (Since $50,000 is 80% of $62,500, the amount we would have paid must
be at least $62,500 for this exchange to be possible.)
(Continued on Next Page)
AL 181
II-225
<PAGE>
(Continued from Preceding Page)
3. A contract of life insurance of a kind regularly being issued by Pruco Life
Insurance Company at that time for $25,000 or more. Its face amount will be the
amount you ask for in your request. But it cannot be less than $25,000 or more
than 80% of the amount we would have paid under the Benefit if the insured
spouse had died just before the contract date of the new contract. (Since
$25,000 is 80% of $31,250, the amount we would have paid must be at least
$31,250 for this exchange to be possible.)
The new contract will not have Supplementary Benefits other than as we describe
in this and in the next paragraph. If the company would include in other
contracts like the new contract a benefit for waiving or paying premiums in the
event of disability, here is what the company will do. Even though this contract
does not have such a benefit on the life of the insured spouse, the company will
put it in the new contract on his or her life. The benefit, if any, in the new
contract will be the same one, with the same provisions, that the company puts
in other contracts like it on its contract date. In this paragraph, when we use
the phrase other contracts like it, we mean contracts the company would
regularly issue on the same plan and for the same rating class, amount, issue
age and sex.
No premium will be waived or paid by us for disability under the new contract
unless the disability started on or after its contract date. And no premium will
be waived or paid by us for disability under a new contract unless it has a
benefit for waiving or paying premiums in the event of disability. This will be
so even if scheduled premiums have been paid by us under this contract.
Changes.--You may be able to have this Benefit changed to a new contract of life
insurance other than in accord with the requirements for exchange that we state
above. But any change may be made only if the company consents, and will be
subject to conditions and charges that are then determined.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Ownership and Control.--Unless we endorse this contract to say otherwise, while
the Insured is living the owner alone may exercise all ownership and control of
this contract. This includes, but is not limited to, these rights: (1) to assign
the contract; and (2) to change any subsequent owner. A request for such a
change must be in writing to us at our Service Office and in a form that meets
our needs. The change will take effect only when we endorse the contract to show
it.
Unless we endorse this contract to say otherwise: (1) while any insurance is in
force after the Insured's death, the owner of the contract will be the insured
spouse; and (2) the owner alone will be entitled to (a) any contract benefit and
value, and (b) the exercise of any right and privilege granted by the contract
or by us. But any insurance payable upon the Insured's death will be payable to
the beneficiary for that insurance.
Beneficiary.--The word beneficiary where we use it in this contract without
qualification means the beneficiary for insurance payable upon the death of the
Insured.
Unless we endorse this contract to say otherwise, the beneficiary for insurance
payable upon the death of the insured spouse will be the Insured if living,
otherwise the estate of the insured spouse.
The beneficiary for insurance payable upon the death of the insured spouse may
be changed. The request must be in writing and in a form that meets our needs.
It will take effect only when we file it at our Service Office; this will be
after the contract is sent to us to be endorsed, if we ask for it. Then any
previous beneficiary's interest in such insurance will end as of the date of the
request. It will end then even if the insured spouse is not living when we file
the request. Any beneficiary's interest is subject to the rights of any assignee
of whom we know.
When a beneficiary is designated, any relationship shown is to the Insured,
unless otherwise stated.
Misstatement of Age or Sex.--If the insured spouse's stated age or sex or both
are not correct, we will change each benefit and any amount payable to what the
premiums and charges would have bought for the correct age and sex.
The Schedule of Premiums may show that premiums change or stop on a certain
date. We may have used that date because the insured spouse would attain a
certain age on that date. If we find that the issue age for the insured spouse
was wrong, we will correct that date.
Suicide Exclusion.--If the insured spouse, whether sane or insane, dies by
suicide within the period which we state in the Suicide Exclusion under General
Provisions and while this Benefit is in force, we will not pay the amount we
describe under Benefit above. Instead, we will pay no more than the sum of the
monthly charges deducted for this Benefit to the date of death divided by .925.
We will make that payment in one sum.

ENDORSEMENTS
(Only we can endorse this contract.)
This endorsement is attached to and made a part of this contract on the contract
date:
Any reference, in any provision of this contract, to the sex of any person will
be ignored except for the purpose of identification. For any settlement payable
for the lifetime of one or more payees, the female rates we show in the contract
will apply to both male and female payees.
The provision of this policy entitled "Basis of Computation" is replaced by the
following:
BASIS OF COMPUTATION
Mortality Tables Described.--Except for what we say in the next paragraph, we
base all net premiums and net values to which we refer in this contract on the
Insured's issue age and on the length of time since the contract date. We use
the Commissioners 1980 Standard Ordinary Mortality Table B and continuous
functions based on age last birthday.
For extended insurance, we base net premiums and net value on the Commissioners
1980 Extended Term Insurance Table B.
Interest Rate.--For all net premiums and net values to which we refer in this
contract we use an effective rate of 4% a year.
Exclusions.--When we compute net values we exclude the value of any
Supplementary Benefits and any other extra benefits added by rider to this
contract.
Values After 20 Contract Years.--Tabular cash values not shown on page 4 will be
the net level reserves, taking into account modified premiums. To compute them,
we will use the mortality table and interest rate we describe above. There will
be the same exclusions.
Minimum Legal Values.--The cash, loan and other values in this contract are at
least as large as those set by law where it is delivered. Where required, we
have given the insurance regulator a detailed statement of how we compute values
and benefits.
The provision of this contract entitled AUTOMATIC BENEFIT is replaced at issue
by the following:
AUTOMATIC BENEFIT
When the contract is in default, it will stay in force as reduced paid-up
insurance.

SUPPLEMENTARY MONTHLY RENEWABLE NON-CONVERTIBLE
ONE MONTH TERM INSURANCE
Monthly Term Insurance.--Under this rider, we will provide monthly term
insurance on the Insured's life. We will do this during any Contract Month which
begins on a Monthly Date on which the contract is not in default.
You will not have to prove to us that the Insured is insurable to continue this
insurance from month to month provided the rider has not ended as described in
the Termination section. We make these promises subject to all the provisions of
this rider and of the rest of this contract.
The amount of insurance provided by this rider is included in the Basic Amount
as modified by this rider (see Table of Basic Amounts). The insurance for any
contract month will start on the Monthly Date which begins that Contract Month;
it will end at the end of the day before the next Monthly Date.
We will deduct the charge for the insurance we provide under this rider from the
contract fund. The charge will be no more than the amount we describe under
Maximum Guaranteed Charges. We may deduct a smaller charge as we describe under
Current Rates.
TABLE OF AMOUNTS OF INSURANCE
Tabular Amounts.--We show here the tabular amount of insurance for each $1,000
of Initial Amount of Term Insurance if death occurs in the contract year that
begins when the Insured is the attained age shown. The tabular amount of
insurance at any time is equal to the appropriate amount shown below times the
number of $1,000's of Initial Amount of Term Insurance, including any fraction,
shown on the Contract Data page(s).
Example: Suppose the Initial Amount of Term Insurance is $100,500. The number of
$1,000's of Initial Amount of Term Insurance is 100.5. The tabular amount of
insurance is $100,500 at attained age 70 and $50,250 at attained age 86.

Target Amount.--We compute the Target Amount on each Monthly Date. It will be
the larger of the amounts in (1) and (2), where
(1) is the tabular amount of insurance under this rider;
(2) is the amount of insurance, but not more than the Initial Amount of Term
Insurance, that can be provided at then current rates (which we describe under
Current Rates) by a charge equal to the maximum guaranteed charge for the
tabular amount of insurance under this rider.
Rider Premiums and Charges.--We show the premiums for this rider in the Contract
Data pages, and these premiums are included in the Schedule of Premiums shown in
these pages. From each premium payment, we make the deductions shown under
Schedule of Expense Charges From Premium Payments in these pages; the balance is
the invested premium amount which is added to the contract fund. We will deduct
from the contract fund on each Monthly Date, for the insurance we provide under
this rider, a charge for any portion of the Basic Amount which exceeds the
contract fund and for which we do not otherwise charge under the terms of the
contract or under the terms, of any extra benefit other than this rider.
Maximum Guaranteed Charges.--The maximum guaranteed charges per unit of Target
Amount are included in the Schedule of Monthly Deductions From Contract Fund in
the Contract Data pages. These rates apply to the insurance we provide under
this rider. The amount we deduct on a Monthly Date for the Target Amount will
not be more than this charge multiplied by the number of $1,000's of Initial
Amount of Term Insurance.
Current Rates.--From time to time we will set the current rates for the
insurance we provide under this rider. They will be based on the Insured's
rating class, sex and attained age. They will not be more than the maximum
guaranteed rates. We will set rates based on our expectations as to future
experience. At least once every five years, but not more often than once a year,
we will consider the need to change the rates. We will change them only if we do
so for all riders like this one dated in the same year as this one.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
General.--Where there is no conflict with this rider, the provisions of this
contract will also apply to the rider.
Death Benefit.--While this rider remains in force, the following two changes to
the contract apply. The definition of the insurance amount is amended by

Gentlemen:
In my capacity as Chief Legal Officer of Pruco Life Insurance Company ("Pruco
Life"), I have reviewed the establishment on January 13, 1984 of Pruco Life
Variable Appreciable Account (the "Account")by the Executive Committee of the
Board of Directors of Pruco Life as a separate account for assets applicable to
certain variable life insurance contracts, pursuant to the provisions of Section
20-651 of the Arizona Insurance Code. I am responsible for oversight of the
preparation and review of the Registration Statement on Form S-6, as amended,
filed by Pruco Life with the Securities and Exchange Commission (Registration
No. 2-89558) under the Securities Act of 1933 for the registration of certain
variable appreciable life insurance contracts issued with respect to the
Account.
I am of the following opinion:
(1) Pruco Life was duly organized under the laws of Arizona and is a
validly existing corporation.
(2) The Account has been duly created and is validly existing as a
separate account pursuant to the aforesaid provisions of Arizona law.
(3) The portion of the assets held in the Account equal to the reserve and
other liabilities for variable benefits under the variable appreciable
life insurance contracts is not chargeable with liabilities arising
out of any other business Pruco Life may conduct.
(4) The variable appreciable life insurance contracts are legal and
binding obligations of Pruco Life in accordance with their terms.
In arriving at the foregoing opinion, I have made such examination of law and
examined such records and other documents as I judged to be necessary or
appropriate.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.
Very truly yours,
/s/

To Pruco Life Insurance Company:
This opinion is furnished in connection with the registration by Pruco Life
Insurance Company of variable appreciable life insurance contracts ("Contracts")
under the Securities Act of 1933. The prospectus included in Post-Effective
Amendment No. 26 to Registration Statement No. 2-89558 on Form S-6 describes the
Contracts. I have reviewed the two Contract forms and I have participated in the
preparation and review of the Registration Statement and Exhibits thereto. In my
opinion:
(1) The illustrations of cash surrender values and death benefits included
in the section of the prospectus entitled "Illustrations", based on
the assumptions stated in the illustrations, are consistent with the
provisions of the respective forms of the Contracts. The rate
structure of the Contracts has not been designed so as to make the
relationship between premiums and benefits, as shown in the
illustrations, appear more favorable to a prospective purchaser of a
Contract for male age 35 than to prospective purchasers of Contracts
on males of other ages or on females.
(2) The illustration of the effect of a Contract loan on the cash
surrender value included in the section entitled "Contract Loans",
based on the assumptions stated in the illustration, is consistent
with the provisions of the Form A Contract.
(3) The illustrations of the effect of an increase in the Contract fund on
the increase in insurance amount shown in the section entitled
"Revised Contracts" (How a Contract's Death Benefit will Vary") are
consistent with the provisions of the Revised Form A and Form B
Contracts.
I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and to the reference to my name under the heading "Experts" in the
prospectus.
Very truly yours,
/s/
