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 maximum surrender charge is set forth in your Contract and ranges from $0.00 to $55.00 per $1,000 of the Face Amount. The maximum charge on a withdrawal that reduces the Face Amount by $100,000 is $5,500. The surrender charge applies to surrenders, lapses, withdrawals from Contracts with a Type A (fixed) Death Benefit, and reductions in Face Amount. 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 decreases in the Face 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.

If a Scheduled Premium is not paid, and the Contract Fund on any Monthly Date is less than the Tabular Contract Fund, the Contract will go into default. Poor investment performance, deductions of more than the maximum permissible charges, or the previous payment of less than the Scheduled Premiums are some of the factors that could cause your Contract to lapse. If your Contract does lapse, it may still provide some benefits.

Generally, a Contract that has lapsed may be reinstated unless the Contract has been surrendered for its Cash Surrender Value. For Contracts issued before September 1, 1988, a Contract that has lapsed may be reinstated within three years from the date of default. For Contracts issued after September 1, 1988, a Contract that has lapsed may be reinstated within five years from the date of default. Please refer to your Contract for exact dates. To reinstate a lapsed contract, we require completion of certain conditions including submission of certain payments due under the Contract. For more information please refer to the LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT section of the prospectus.

If the Contract is not in default, you may, up to 4 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 and only within 31 days beginning on the Contract Anniversary. The maximum amount per Contract Year you may transfer out of the Fixed Rate Option 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. Some riders are not available in conjunction with other riders and other restrictions may apply. 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. The Scheduled Premium will vary by Issue Age, sex, smoker/non smoker, substandard rating class, and any riders selected by the Contract Owner. The Commissionable Target Premium will vary by Issue Age, sex, underwriting class and rating class of the insured, any extra risk charges, or additional riders selected by the Contract Owner. 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 a Contract in the PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT section of the prospectus.
