EXHIBIT 26(d)(xiv)

RIDER FOR

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)

AL 140

(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.
