Charges For Early Withdrawals

If you withdraw money from the Contract within the first 10 Contract Years, you may be assessed a surrender charge. The charge applies to surrenders, lapses, withdrawals from Contracts with a Type A (fixed) Death Benefit, and reductions in Basic Insurance Amount. For a male, age 32, nonsmoker underwriting class and a $250,000 Basic Insurance Amount at issue, the maximum surrender charge on a withdrawal that reduces the Basic Insurance Amount by $100,000 is $682. For more information on early withdrawal charges, please refer to the Surrender Charge subsection of the prospectus.

In addition to a surrender charge, you may also be charged for other transactions. Such charges include sales charges on premiums paid under the Contract, administrative charges (to cover local, state and federal taxes), transfer fees, withdrawal fees, and fees for changes in the Basic Insurance Amount. For more information on transaction charges, please refer to the FEE TABLE and CHARGES AND EXPENSES sections of the prospectus.

Ongoing Fees And Expenses

In addition to surrender charges and transaction charges, an investment in the Contract is subject to certain ongoing fees and expenses, including such fees and expenses as those covering the cost of insurance under the Contract and the cost of optional benefits available under the Contract. Such fees and expenses are set based on either a fixed rate or the characteristics of the insured (e.g., age, sex, and rating classification). Investors should view the data pages of their Contract for applicable rates.

Contract Owners will also bear expenses associated with the Funds under the Contract, as shown in the following table:

For more information on ongoing fees and expenses, please refer to the FEE TABLE section of the prospectus and APPENDIX A, which is part of the prospectus and included below.

You can lose money by investing in the Contract. For more information please refer to the PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT section of the prospectus.

The Contract is not a short-term investment and may not be appropriate if you need ready access to cash. The Contract is designed to provide benefits on a long-term basis. Consequently, you should not use the Contract as a short-term investment or savings vehicle. Because of the long-term nature of the Contract, you should consider whether purchasing the Contract is consistent with the purpose for which it is being considered. For more information please refer to the PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT section of the prospectus.

An investment in the Contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the Funds available under the Contract, each of which has its own unique risks. You should review the Funds' prospectuses before making an investment decision. Fund prospectuses are available at www.Prudential.com/eProspectus or by calling 800-778-2255. For more information on the Funds, please refer to the The Funds subsection of the prospectus.

An investment in the Contract is subject to the risks related to Pruco Life of New Jersey. Any obligations (including under the Fixed Rate Option), guarantees, or benefits are subject to the claims-paying ability of Pruco Life of New Jersey. More information about Pruco Life of New Jersey, including its financial strength ratings, is available upon request and at www.Investor.Prudential.com/Ratings. For more information please refer to the GENERAL DESCRIPTIONS OF PRUCO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW JERSEY, THE REGISTRANT, AND THE FUNDS section of the prospectus.

Death Benefits will not be paid if the Contract has lapsed. The Contract will lapse if it is in default unless sufficient premium payments are made or it remains in force under the Death Benefit Guarantee. If the Contract Fund less any applicable surrender charges is zero or less, the Contract is in default unless it remains in force under the Death Benefit Guarantee, assuming there are no outstanding loans. Poor investment performance, insufficient premium payments, withdrawals, and loans are some of the factors that could cause your Contract to lapse.

A Contract that lapses may be reinstated within five years from the date of default upon the completion of certain conditions, including the submission of certain payments sufficient to bring the Contract up to date, plus a premium to cover all charges and deductions for three months from the date of reinstatement. For more information please refer to the LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT section of the prospectus.

You may, up to 12 times each Contract Year, transfer amounts among the Variable Investment Options. Additional transfers may be made only with our consent. Generally, only one transfer from the Fixed Rate Option will be permitted during each Contract Year. The maximum amount per Contract Year you may transfer 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. Transfers may generally be made by mail, phone, fax or website. Contracts that are jointly owned or assigned generally cannot conduct transfers by phone, fax or website. We reserve the right to remove or substitute Variable Investment Options. For more information on investment and transfer restrictions, please refer to the Transfers And Restrictions On Transfers subsection of the prospectus and APPENDIX A.

As a Contract Owner, you may be able to obtain extra fixed benefits, which may require additional charges. These optional insurance benefits are described in what is known as a "rider" to the Contract. Riders are generally only available at Contract issuance, unless noted otherwise.

Some riders may depend on the performance of the Contract Fund. Rider benefits will no longer be available if the Contract lapses or is surrendered for its Cash Surrender Value. Some riders are not available in conjunction with other riders and other restrictions may apply. Investment options will be restricted if certain riders are exercised. Some riders described in the prospectus may be subject to state variations or may not be available in all states. For more information on optional benefits under the Contract, please refer to the RIDERS section of the prospectus.

You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in and payments received under the Contract. There is no additional tax benefit if you purchase the Contract through a tax-qualified plan. Withdrawals may be subject to ordinary income tax and a 10% additional tax. For more information on tax implications relating to Contract investments, please refer to the TAXES section of the prospectus.

Investment professionals receive compensation for selling the Contract to investors and may have a financial incentive to offer or recommend the Contract over another investment. Compensation (commissions, overrides, and any expense reimbursement allowance) is paid to broker-dealers that are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and/or entities that are exempt from such registration ("firms"). The individual representative will receive all or a portion of the compensation, depending on the practice of the firm. For more information on investment professional compensation, please refer to the DISTRIBUTION AND COMPENSATION section and the Commissions Paid To Broker-Dealers subsection of the prospectus.

Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a contract in place of the one you already own. You should only exchange your existing life insurance Contract if you determine after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both contracts, that it is preferable to purchase the contract, rather than continue to own your existing Contract. For more information on exchanges, please refer to the paragraph titled Replacement of the Contract in the PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT section of the prospectus.
