Amendment #1

to the

AUTOMATIC

YEARLY RENEWABLE TERM REINSURANCE AGREEMENT

EFFECTIVE December 1, 2004

Between

PRUCO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

(THE COMPANY)

And

THE PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA

(THE REINSURER)

The parties hereby agree to the following:

1.	Section 8, REINSURANCE PREMIUM RATES, shall be replaced by the following:

REINSURANCE PREMIUM RATES

LIFE REINSURANCE. Reinsurance premiums per $1,000 are shown in Schedule B. The mode of payment will be monthly. Each monthly premium will be calculated using (1) the issue age of the insured under the policy, (2) the duration since issuance of the policy and (3) the current underwriting classification. The duration since issue will be measured in whole years. Any fractional portion of a year since issue will be ignored.

b.	RATES NOT GUARANTEED.

Mortality Reinsurance

THE REINSURER reserves the right to change the rates at any time. If THE REINSURER changes the rates, it will give THE COMPANY a 90-day prior written notice of the change. Any change applies only to reinsurance premiums due after the expiration of the notice period.

THE REINSURER further agrees that THE COMPANY’s right of recapture under Section 17 of this Agreement will be triggered if THE COMPANY deems a rate change unacceptable.

Death Benefit Guarantee Reinsurance

For inforce business, the reinsurance premium rates in effect at issue are guaranteed not to change. However, THE REINSURER reserves the right to change the rates at any time for new business. If THE REINSURER changes the rates, it will give THE COMPANY a 90-day prior written notice of the change. Any change applies only to reinsurance premiums due after the expiration of the notice period.

2.	Section 9, PAYMENT OF REINSURANCE PREMIUMS, shall be replaced by the following:

PAYMENT OF REINSURANCE PREMIUMS

PREMIUM DUE. For each policy reinsured under this Agreement, reinsurance premiums for the mortality reinsurance are payable on a calendar month basis. In addition, the portion of the premiums for the death benefit guarantee reinsurance that is derived from the premiums for the mortality reinsurance is payable on a calendar month basis. The portion of the premiums for the death benefit guarantee reinsurance that is derived from the mean statutory reserve is payable quarterly in arrears. On or around the fifth business day of each calendar month, THE COMPANY will calculate the amount of premiums payable for that month. Within 20 days of such time, THE COMPANY will send to THE REINSURER a statement of account for that period along with payment of the full balance due. Also, there will be a supplemental reinsurance premium. The supplemental reinsurance premium is shown in Schedule B and is due on the Effective Date. On any payment date, monies payable between THE REINSURER and THE COMPANY under this Agreement may be netted to determine the payment due. This offset will apply regardless of the insolvency of either party as described in Section 20, to the extent permitted by law. If the statement of account shows a balance due THE COMPANY, THE REINSURER will remit that amount to THE COMPANY within 30 days of receipt of the statement of account. If the reinsurance premium cannot be determined on an exact basis by the dates described below, such payments will be paid in accordance with a mutually agreed upon formula which will approximate the actual payments.

FAILURE TO PAY PREMIUMS. If reinsurance premiums are 90 days past due, for reasons other than those due to error or omission as defined below in Section 19, the premiums will be considered in default and THE REINSURER may terminate the reinsurance by providing a 30-day prior written notice, provided payment is not received within that 30-day period. THE REINSURER will have no further liability as of the termination date for benefits applicable to periods for which premium is not paid. THE COMPANY will be liable for the prorated reinsurance premiums to the termination date.

THE COMPANY may reinstate reinsurance terminated for non-payment of balances due at any time within 60 days following the date of termination. However, THE REINSURER will have no liability for claims paid by THE COMPANY between the termination date and the reinstatement date.

PREMIUM ADJUSTMENT. If THE COMPANY overpays a reinsurance premium and THE REINSURER accepts the overpayment, THE REINSURER’s acceptance will not constitute or create a reinsurance liability or increase any existing reinsurance liability. Instead, THE REINSURER will be liable to THE COMPANY for a credit in the amount of the overpayment. If a reinsured policy terminates, THE REINSURER will not refund the portion of the premium for the period from the date of the termination of the policy to the date to which the reinsurance premium has been paid.

3.	Section 13, RESERVES FOR REINSURANCE, shall be replaced by the following:

RESERVES FOR REINSURANCE

Mortality Reinsurance

As a result of reinsurance premiums being paid on a monthly mode on a calendar month basis, there will be no reinsurance reserve.

Death Benefit Guarantee Reinsurance

The statutory reinsurance reserve is the excess of the reserves required by Regulation XXX over the reserves required by the Commissioners’ Reserve Valuation Method (CRVM) on the portion reinsured for each policy.

4.	Section 32, BENEFITS FOR DEATH BENEFIT GUARANTEE REINSURANCE, shall be added to the reinsurance agreement:

BENEFITS FOR DEATH BENEFIT GUARANTEE REINSURANCE

a.	NOTICE. THE COMPANY will notify THE REINSURER as soon as possible after THE COMPANY waives the mortality and expense charges for a policyowner as a result of the death benefit guarantee being triggered.

AMOUNT AND PAYMENT OF BENEFITS. As soon as THE REINSURER receives notice, reinsurance benefits are due and payable to THE COMPANY.
