Prudential Financial, Inc. 2012 Long-Term Incentive Program

This document contains the principal terms and conditions applicable to Awards granted to employees under the Prudential Financial, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the Plan) for 2012. Specific provisions applicable to any employees selected to participate in any particular country are set out in Schedule 2.

PART A: General terms and conditions

1.	Purpose

Prudential’s 2012 Long-Term Incentive Program (the Long-Term Program) is made available to employees subject to the terms of the Plan and is designed to strengthen the links between leadership, motivation and consistent performance. Employees selected to participate in the Long-Term Program may be granted Awards of Performance Units valued by reference to the book value of the Common Stock (the Book Value Units), Awards of Restricted Stock Units, Options, Performance Shares, Performance Units, or a combination thereof, and will be advised of the Awards made to them in their own personalized compensation statement or a communication from their manager.

The grant of Awards under the Long-Term Program is subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Plan document. This document describes the principal terms and conditions of Awards granted to employees under the Plan (the Terms). The Schedule to these Terms contains the definitions used in these Terms. If there is any discrepancy between these Terms and the Plan document, or if there is a discrepancy between any information given by anyone acting on behalf of any member of the Company Group and the Plan document, the Plan document, as interpreted by the Compensation Committee, will always govern.

2.	Eligibility and grants

Grants of Awards under the Plan are entirely at the sole discretion of Prudential.

A grant of an Award under the Plan on one occasion does not give an employee the right to any further grant at any time in the future.

3.	Acceptance of an Award

An employee granted an Award may accept the Award in any manner specified by the Compensation Committee (or the Company Group) and may be deemed to have accepted an Award if the employee has not declined the grant of that Award (in whole or in part) within any period of time specified by the Compensation Committee (or the Company Group) and notified to the employee.

By accepting an Award, a Participant will be responsible for complying with any Applicable Laws relating to:

(i)	the transfer of funds on the exercise of an Option (if the Cash Exercise method is used);

(ii)	the acquisition, holding and sale of shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan; and

(iii)

the opening and maintaining of a U.S. brokerage account.

The Applicable Laws may change and Participants should seek their own professional legal, financial and taxation advice in relation to their participation in the Plan.

Taxes

Prudential or any member of the Company Group, as appropriate, has the right to deduct, report and account for any taxes or other obligations required to be withheld by law in connection with an Award. Prudential

(or, as appropriate, any other member of the Company Group) may require a Participant to pay to Prudential (or, if appropriate, any other member of the Company Group) the amount necessary to satisfy any such taxes or other obligations and may defer delivery of shares of Common Stock under the Plan to a Participant until such withholding is satisfied. On the exercise of an Option or the Vesting of Restricted Stock Units or Performance Shares, Prudential or, if appropriate, any other member of the Company Group, will have the right to withhold, either through payroll, through the withholding of sufficient shares of Common Stock or otherwise, in order to satisfy any applicable withholding requirements on the exercise of an Option or the Vesting of Restricted Stock Units or Performance Shares. Participants will be responsible for ensuring that their own tax affairs in connection with the Plan are in order.

5.	Value of Awards

Prudential makes no representation as to the future value of any Award under the Plan or whether any profit will be realized with respect to any Award. Past performance may not be a reliable guide to future performance. Investments may fall as well as rise in value. By accepting the grant of an Award, a Participant agrees that Prudential and the other members of the Company Group are not responsible for foreign exchange fluctuations between the Participant’s local currency and the U.S. dollar and are not liable for any decrease in the value of shares of Common Stock. Changes in exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the value, price or income of the securities.

6.	Covenant not to solicit; other terms and restrictions

(a)

Restrictions during Employment: By accepting the grant of an Award a Participant agrees that during Employment, the Participant will not, other than on behalf of the Company Group or as may otherwise be required in connection with the performance of the Participant’s duties on behalf of the Company Group, solicit or induce, either directly or indirectly, or take any action to assist any entity, either directly or indirectly, in soliciting or inducing any employee of the Company Group (other than the Participant’s administrative assistant) to leave Employment (Induce Departures).

(b)	Post-Employment restrictive covenants, acknowledgements and representations: By accepting the grant of an Award a Participant agrees that following the termination of the Participant’s Employment:

(i)

Until the original latest Vesting date of the Award or, if ending later, for a period of one year after the termination of the Participant’s Employment for any reason, the Participant will not Induce Departures or hire or employ, or assist in the hire or employment of, either directly or indirectly, any employee of the Company Group (other than the Participant’s administrative assistant) or any former employee of the Company Group within 60 days of that former employee’s cessation of Employment with the Company Group;

(ii)

If the Participant voluntarily resigns in circumstances qualifying for Approved Retirement, the Participant will not compete with the Company Group in any business in which the Company Group is engaged on the last date of the Participant’s Employment that operates in any geographic area in which the Company Group operates as of the Participant’s last date of Employment, for a period of one year following the Participant’s termination of Employment or until the original latest Vesting date of the Award, whichever is the shorter period; and

(iii)

The Participant could earn a living while fully complying with all of the provisions, restrictions and covenants contained in these Terms. The Participant acknowledges that Prudential provides a wide range of insurance, investment management and other financial products and services to customers throughout the world and that the restrictions contained in these Terms are reasonable and necessary to protect Prudential’s legitimate interests in its confidential information, trade secrets, customer relationships, and investment in the training and development of its employees.

(c)

Restrictions separable and divisible: By accepting the grant of an Award a Participant acknowledges and accepts the restrictions imposed by subsections 6(a) and (b) of Part A of these Terms and that each restriction will be construed as separate and divisible from every other restriction. If any provision contained in the Plan or these Terms is for any reason held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, that invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision of the Plan or these Terms, and the Plan or these Terms will be construed as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had not been included in the Terms. It is the intention of the parties that if any of the restrictions or covenants contained in these Terms is held to cover a geographic area or to be for a length of time which is not permitted by Applicable Law, or in any way construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, that provision will not be null, void and of not effect, but to the extent the provision would be valid or enforceable under Applicable Law, a court of competent jurisdiction will construe and interpret or reform the Terms to provide for a covenant having the maximum enforceable geographic area, time period and other provisions (not greater than those contained in these Terms) as will be valid and enforceable under the Applicable Law. Prudential may waive any restriction or any breach in circumstances that it determines do not adversely affect its interests, but only in writing signed by its Senior Vice President, Human Resources (or the successor to his or her human resource responsibilities), or his or her delegate. No waiver of a breach of a restriction will be deemed a waiver of any other breach.

(d)

Remedies: By accepting the grant of an Award a Participant agrees that the restrictions in subsections 6(a) and (b) of Part A of these Terms are fair, reasonable and necessary, and are reasonably required for the protection of Prudential and any other member of the Company Group. The Participant agrees and acknowledges that the amount of damages that would derive from the breach of any restriction is not readily ascertainable and that the restrictions are a significant portion of the consideration that the Participant conveys to Prudential in consideration of the grant of an Award. Accordingly, if a Participant fails to execute and submit or revokes a Release or breaches any of the restrictive covenants set out in subsections 6(a) and (b) of Part A of these Terms, all of the Participant’s outstanding Awards will be cancelled immediately on the date of that failure, as determined in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee or its delegate. If a Participant breaches any of the restrictive covenants set out in subsections 6(a) and (b) of Part A of these Terms, in addition to any equitable relief available to Prudential as outlined below, the Participant will transfer to Prudential Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) equal in value (using the current Market Value of Common Stock on the date the letter of notification of the breach is dated) to the profit realized by the Participant under the Plan occurring (I) in the case of any breach while the Participant is an employee of the Company Group, within twelve (12) months before the date of the breach or at any time after the date of such breach; or (II) in the case of a breach after the termination of the Participant’s Employment, within six (6) months before the date on which the Participant’s Employment terminated or at any time after the date of such termination of Employment. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “profit” referred to in the preceding sentence will be equal to (I) in the case of any Options, the sums (determined separately for each exercise of any portion of the Options within the applicable period established pursuant to such sentence) of (i) (A) the Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise, in the case of a Cash Exercise, the price at which shares of Common Stock are sold, in the case of a Same Day Sale, or a combination of such Market Value and sales price, in the case of a Sell to Cover (as each such term is defined in Part C below), minus (B) the Grant Price of the Option, times (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock acquired on exercise of the Option(s); (II) in the case of any Restricted Stock Unit or Performance Share Award, the sums (determined separately for each grant payable within the applicable period established pursuant to such sentence) of (i) the Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of payment times (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock acquired or acquirable, and (III) in the case of any other Award payable in cash, the amount of cash paid in respect of such Award. The Participant will pay any such amount (in the form of Common Stock or cash, as applicable) to Prudential within five (5) business days of the date Prudential notifies the Participant that a breach of the provisions of this Section 6 has occurred. If payment is not made within that period, any subsequent payment will be made with interest at a rate equal to the prime

rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal (Eastern Edition) on the date on which notice of the breach is sent to the Participant by Prudential, plus two (2) percent. Interest payments will be made in cash. A Participant also acknowledges that the damages to Prudential for any breach of subsections 6(a) or (b) of Part A of these Terms would be irreparable. Therefore, in addition to monetary damages and/or reasonable attorney’s fees, Prudential will have the right to seek injunctive and/or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the restriction. Further, a Participant consents to the issue of a temporary restraining order to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of any proceeding.

7.	Compliance with Applicable Laws

Awards granted under the Plan and Prudential’s obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock or make payment of cash, as applicable, under these Terms will be subject in all respects to (a) all Applicable Laws, and (b) any registration, qualification, approvals or other requirements imposed by any government or regulatory agency or body which the Compensation Committee determines to be necessary or applicable. Shares of Common Stock or cash, as applicable, may not be delivered or paid to a Participant if their receipt would be contrary to any Applicable Laws or the rules of any applicable stock exchange.

8.	Investment representation

If at the time of delivery of any shares of Common Stock under the Plan, the Common Stock is not registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), or there is no current prospectus in effect under the Securities Act with respect to the Common Stock, a Participant will, if requested by the Compensation Committee, execute, before the delivery of any shares of Common Stock, an agreement (in the form the Compensation Committee specifies) in which the Participant represents and warrants that the Participant is acquiring the shares for the Participant’s own account, for investment only and not with a view to the resale or distribution of the shares, and agrees that any subsequent offer for sale or distribution of any kind of such shares will be made only pursuant to either (a) a registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act, which registration statement has become effective and is current with regard to the shares being offered or sold; or (b) a specific exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, but in claiming that exemption, the Participant will, before any offer for sale of the shares, obtain a prior favorable written opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to the Compensation Committee, from counsel for or approved by the Compensation Committee, as to the applicability of the exemption.

9.	Governing law

A Participant acknowledges that Prudential is organized under the laws of the State of New Jersey and maintains its headquarters in Newark, New Jersey. The Participant further acknowledges that Prudential has an interest in ensuring the uniform interpretation and application of these Terms to all Participants. Accordingly, Prudential and the Participant agree that the Plan and these Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without giving effect to its conflict of law provisions.

10.

Electronic delivery and acceptance

By accepting an Award under the Plan, a Participant agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws, in lieu of receiving documents in paper format to accept electronic delivery of any documents that any member of the Company Group may be required to deliver in connection with the Plan. Electronic delivery of a document may be via e-mail or by reference to a location on a member of the Company Group’s intranet site or a designated third-party vendor’s internet site.

11.

No rights as a shareholder

A Participant does not have any rights as a shareholder in Prudential by virtue of the grant of an Award under the Plan, but only with respect to shares of Common Stock, if any, delivered to the Participant in accordance with the Plan and these Terms.

12.

Section 409A

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, no acceleration of the time or schedule of any delivery of shares or other payment related to an Award will be permitted to the extent necessary to comply with Code Section 409A and any regulations issued under Section 409A. The Compensation Committee may amend, modify, adjust or supplement any provision of the Plan without a Participant’s consent if the Compensation Committee determines that the amendment, modification, adjustment or supplementation is required or advisable for an Award or Prudential to comply with, or not violate, any Applicable Laws, regulation or rule, including, without limitation, Section 409A.

13.

Other terms

Participation in the Plan does not entitle an employee of the Company Group to any benefit other than that granted under the Plan. Any benefits granted under the Plan will not be deemed to be compensation under any pension plan or other retirement plan, welfare plan or any compensation plan or program maintained by any member of the Company Group, and will not be considered as part of compensation for the purposes of calculating pension, profit-sharing, bonuses, service awards, or in the event of severance, redundancy or resignation.

Prudential may modify, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any and all of the policies, programs and terms of the Plan in whole or in part, at any time, without notice to or with the consent of Participants.

If shares of Common Stock are, or are to be, delivered in a manner not specifically authorized by the Plan, (i.e., in “Error”), Prudential will be entitled to correct the Error, including reversing the transaction and recouping any Common Stock or gain that might be delivered as a result of the Error.

The English language version of any documents provided in connection with the Plan will prevail in the case of any ambiguities or divergences as a result of the translation of the document into any other language.

Participation in the Plan is not intended to constitute or create a contract of employment nor does it constitute or create the right to remain associated with or in the employ of any member of the Company Group for any particular period of time. Participation in the Plan does not affect in any way a member of the Company Group’s right to terminate an employee’s Employment at any time, with or without cause, and does not form part of an employee’s employment contract, if any.

PART B: Terms and conditions applicable to Restricted Stock Units under the Long-Term Incentive Program

1.	Restricted Period

The restricted period (the Restricted Period) with respect to the Restricted Stock Units will begin on the Grant Date and will end on the RSU Payment Date.

2.	Settlement of Restricted Stock Units

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, a Participant in active Employment on the RSU Payment Date will receive as soon as administratively practicable after the RSU Payment Date (but not later than the end of the calendar year in which the RSU Payment Date occurs) the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units vested in accordance with these Terms, less any taxes or other deductions required by Applicable Law.

3.	Vesting or forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units following termination of Employment in specific circumstances

A Participant’s outstanding Restricted Stock Units will automatically be forfeited and cancelled on the termination of the Participant’s Employment and no shares of Common Stock may thereafter be issued with respect to the Restricted Stock Units, except in the specific circumstances set out in the table below:


		Restricted Stock Units
Type of Termination of Employment		Vesting Status
Voluntary Resignation		All outstanding Restricted Stock Units are immediately forfeited.


		Restricted Stock Units
Type of Termination of Employment		Vesting Status
Approved Retirement		If the Participant retires in 2012 with less than 3 months of active service in such year, all Restricted Stock Units will immediately be forfeited. If the Participant retires in 2012 in circumstances qualifying for Approved Retirement and executes and submits a Release by the date specified by Prudential (and does not later revoke the Release), the Participant will receive a pro-rated⁽¹⁾ number of shares of Common Stock as soon as administratively practicable following the RSU Payment Date (but in all events not later than the end of the calendar year in which the RSU Payment Date occurs). The remainder of the Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited. If the Participant does not execute a Release, all Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited on the last date of Employment. If the Participant retires after 2012 in circumstances qualifying for Approved Retirement and executes and submits a Release by the date specified by Prudential (and does not later revoke the Release), the Participant will receive shares of Common Stock equal to the number of outstanding Restricted Stock Units as soon as administratively practicable after the RSU Payment Date (but in all events not later than the end of the calendar year in which the RSU Payment Date occurs). If the Participant does not execute a Release, all Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited on the last date of Employment.

Termination for Cause		All outstanding Restricted Stock Units are immediately forfeited. The Compensation Committee may require the Participant to repay any payment, profit, gain or other benefit (including, but not limited to, any dividends or Dividend Equivalents) in respect of the Restricted Stock Units or any prior restricted stock units or Awards received within a period of twelve (12) months before the Participant’s termination of Employment for Cause. If a Participant’s Employment is terminated by any member of the Company Group for Cause, the provisions in these Terms relating to termination for Cause will apply notwithstanding any assertion (by the Participant or otherwise) that the Participant’s Employment was terminated for any other reason.

Death (while an active employee)		All outstanding Restricted Stock Units become fully vested and the Participant’s estate will receive shares of Common Stock as soon as administratively practicable (but not later than 74 days) thereafter.


		Restricted Stock Units
Type of Termination of Employment		Vesting Status
Disability		All outstanding Restricted Stock Units become fully vested and the Participant will receive shares of Common Stock as soon as administratively practicable (but not later than 74 days) thereafter.

Involuntary Termination for any other reason		If a Participant executes and submits a Release by the date specified by Prudential (and does not later revoke the Release), a pro-rated⁽²⁾ number of Restricted Stock Units will vest and the Participant will receive shares of Common Stock as soon as administratively practicable (but not later than 74 days) thereafter. The remainder of the Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited. If the Participant does not execute a Release, all Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited on the last date of Employment.

Change of Control		All Restricted Stock Units will become vested and the Participant will normally receive shares of Common Stock; unless the entity that acquires control honors, assumes, or substitutes new rights for the Restricted Stock Units with substantially equivalent or better rights, terms, conditions and values as determined by the Compensation Committee. Alternatively, the Compensation Committee may, at its sole discretion, provide for payment in cash based on the Change of Control price.

⁽¹⁾	Pro-ration is based on the number of months of active service during that year divided by 12. The remaining balance will be forfeited as of the date of retirement.

⁽²⁾	Pro-ration is based on the number of months of active service since the Grant Date divided by 36.

4.	Section 409A

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and any regulations issued under Section 409A with respect to any individual who is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A and any regulations, on termination of the Participant’s employment with any member of the Company Group, delivery of shares of Common Stock may not be made before the date that is six (6) months after the date of such termination of Employment (or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death). In addition, to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 409A and any regulations issued under Section 409A, if an award of Restricted Stock Units is treated as deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, no distribution will be made (although vesting will accelerate to the extent otherwise provided above) in respect of such award upon the occurrence of a Change of Control unless such event qualifies as a change in the ownership of a corporation, change in the effective control of a corporation or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of a corporation within the meaning of Section 409A and any regulations issued thereunder.

5.	Dividend Equivalents

A Participant granted Restricted Stock Units will be eligible to receive Dividend Equivalents on the Restricted Stock Units based on any regular cash dividends declared on Common Stock from the Grant Date until the RSU Payment Date (or until the date of forfeiture, if sooner). Any Dividend Equivalents will be paid in cash as soon as administratively practicable (but not more than 74 days) after the related cash

dividends are paid to Common Stock holders, unless determined otherwise by the Compensation Committee. Any Dividend Equivalents payable under the Plan will be treated as separate payments from the underlying Restricted Stock Units for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. There will be no reinvestment option or earned interest credits on any Dividend Equivalent.

PART C: Terms and conditions applicable to Options under the Long-Term Incentive Program

1.	Vesting and exercise

An Option will normally vest and become exercisable in three equal annual installments on each anniversary of the Grant Date provided the Participant holding that Option remains in Employment throughout that period.

2.	Exercise of Options

An Option may be exercised by the Participant:

(i)	paying in cash the Grant Price and any applicable taxes and fees (Cash Exercise); or

(ii)	directing the immediate sale of all the shares of Common Stock acquired on exercise and receiving the cash proceeds, after deduction of the Grant Price and applicable taxes and fees (Same Day Sale); or

(iii)

directing the immediate sale of sufficient shares of Common Stock acquired on exercise necessary to pay the Grant Price and any applicable taxes and fees and receive the remaining shares of Common Stock (Sell to Cover).

One or more of the exercise methods may not be available (or may be unavailable during a specified period) if Prudential determines that its availability will or could violate the terms of any Applicable Laws. An Option cannot be exercised when the Market Value of a share of Common Stock does not exceed the Grant Price. Please refer to Schedule 2 for country specific restrictions regarding the exercise of Options.

3.	Option term

Once an Option vests, it may be exercised until its Expiration Date unless the Participant’s employment ends before the Expiration Date or a Change of Control occurs.

4.	Exercise or forfeiture of Options following termination of Employment in specific circumstances

A Participant’s Options, whether vested or unvested, will automatically be forfeited and cancelled on the termination of the Participant’s Employment, and no shares of Common Stock may thereafter be purchased under the Options, except in the specified circumstances set out in the table below:


Stock Options
Type of Termination of Employment	Vesting Status on Last Date of Employment	Exercise Period⁽¹⁾
Voluntary Resignation	Unvested Options will immediately be forfeited as of the last date of Employment. Vested but unexercised Options may be exercised after the last date of Employment, conditional on the Participant executing and submitting a Release by the date specified by Prudential (and not later revoking the Release). If the Participant does not execute a Release, all Options will be forfeited as of the last date of the Participant’s Employment.	Vested Options may be exercised until the earlier of 90 days after the last date of Employment or the option Expiration Date, conditional on the Participant executing and submitting a Release by the date specified by Prudential (and not later revoking the Release).


Stock Options
Type of Termination of Employment	Vesting Status on Last Date of Employment	Exercise Period⁽¹⁾
Approved Retirement	If a Participant retires in circumstances qualifying for Approved Retirement with less than three months of active service in 2012, all Options will immediately be forfeited. Otherwise, the Participant’s Options will continue to vest according to the original vesting schedule, conditioned on the Participant executing and submitting a Release by the date specified by Prudential (and not later revoking the Release). If a Participant does not execute a Release, all Options will be forfeited on the last date of the Participant’s Employment.	Vested Options may be exercised until the earlier of: (i) the Expiration Date; or (ii) the date 5 years after the last date of the Participant’s Employment, conditional on the Participant executing and submitting a Release by the date specified by Prudential (and not later revoking the Release).

Termination for Cause	All Options, whether vested or unvested, will immediately be forfeited on the last date of the Participant’s Employment. The Compensation Committee may require the Participant to repay any payment, profit, gain or other benefit (including, but not limited to any dividends or Dividend Equivalents) received in respect of the exercise of any Options for a period of up to twelve (12) months before the Participant’s termination of Employment for Cause. If a Participant’s Employment is terminated by any member of the Company Group for Cause, the provisions contained in these Terms relating to termination for Cause will apply notwithstanding any assertion (by the Participant or otherwise) that the Participant’s Employment terminated for any other reason.	A Participant may not exercise any Options after the last date of Employment, even if the Options were vested. All outstanding Options are forfeited.

Death (while an active employee)	Options become fully vested and immediately exercisable.	The Participant’s estate may exercise the Options until the third anniversary of the date of death (or any earlier date the Compensation Committee determines) or, if the Option Expiration Date is earlier than that, the later of: • the Expiration Date, or • the first anniversary of the date of death.

Disability	Options become fully vested and immediately exercisable.	Options may be exercised until the earlier of the Expiration Date or 3 years (or any shorter period the Compensation Committee determines) after the Participant’s last date of Employment.


Stock Options
Type of Termination of Employment	Vesting Status on Last Date of Employment	Exercise Period⁽¹⁾
Involuntary Termination for any other reason	Options that are vested and unexercised at the date of termination of the Participant’s Employment will remain exercisable if the Participant executes and submits a Release by the date specified by Prudential (and does not later revoke the Release). Unvested Options are immediately forfeited. If a Release is not executed, all Options will be forfeited as of the last date of the Participant’s Employment.	Vested Options may be exercised until the earlier of the Expiration Date or 90 days after the Participant’s last date of Employment, conditional on the Participant executing and submitting a Release by the date specified by Prudential (and not later revoking the Release).

Change of Control	Options will become fully vested and immediately exercisable on the date of the Change of Control; unless the entity that acquires Control honors, assumes, or substitutes new rights for the Options with substantially equivalent or better rights, terms, conditions and value. Alternatively, the Compensation Committee may, at its sole discretion, provide for payment in cash based on the Change of Control price.	If the entity that acquires control honors, assumes, or substitutes new rights for the Options, the Options (or any substituted alternative award) may be exercised on terms at least as favorable as the Options. If the entity that assumes control does not honor, assume, or substitute new rights for Options, the Compensation Committee may cancel the Options in exchange for payment in cash.

⁽¹⁾

The period stated may not extend beyond the Expiration Date, other than in the case of death as applicable. Options can be exercised on the Expiration Date, but only during hours that the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open for trading. If an Option expires on a day that the NYSE is closed, it can be exercised only during the market hours on or before the last day of NYSE trading before the Option’s Expiration Date.

The Performance Cycle (the Performance Cycle) with respect to Performance Shares and Performance Units will begin on January 1, 2012 and will end on December 31, 2014.

2.	Settlement of Performance Shares and Performance Units

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and following approval by the Compensation Committee, any (i) shares of Common Stock to which a Participant is entitled in respect of Performance Shares; and (ii) amount of cash to which a Participant is entitled in respect of Performance Units will be delivered or paid to such Participant as soon as administratively practicable (but not later than 74 days) after the PS/PU Payment Date, less any taxes or other deductions required by Applicable Law.

3.	Earnout: Performance Goals

A Participant’s Performance Shares and Performance Units are conditioned on achievement of ROE Goals specified by the Compensation Committee, with respect to the Performance Cycle.

ROE is defined as Prudential’s “operating return on average equity (based on after-tax adjusted operating income)” as publicly disclosed in Prudential’s Quarterly Financial Supplement (“QFS”). ROE for each year in the Performance Cycle is defined as the average of the quarterly ROE figures for such year published in the QFS.

The number of shares of Common Stock and the amount of cash that a Participant may become eligible to receive will be equal to the applicable target number of Performance Shares and/or Performance Units awarded, adjusted by the applicable ROE Earned Payout Factor (which is determined based on the achievement of the ROE Goals over the Performance Cycle). Any resulting number of shares of Common Stock shall be rounded to the nearest whole number. The aggregate amount of shares of Common Stock and cash payable to the Participant will be the “Final Payout Amount,” which will be made on the PS/PU Payment Date (shortly following the end of the Performance Cycle) subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set out in these Terms and in the Plan, including the requirement that the Participant remain actively employed with the Company Group as of the PS/PU Payment Date. The Compensation Committee will determine, in its sole discretion, the Final Payout Amount.

The ROE Goals will be the average of actual ROE for 2012, 2013 and 2014. The ROE Goals are as follows:


Table 1
ROE Goals		ROE Earned Payout Factor
8.00% or less		0
9.00%		0.25
10.00%		0.50
11.00%		0.75
12.00%		1.00 (target)
12.50%		1.25
13.0% or more		1.50 (maximum)

If the average ROE achieved is between any two data points, the corresponding ROE Earned Payout Factor will bear a linear relationship with the actual achievement between such data points.

In the event of (i) an acquisition (as determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion) involving Common Stock or a divestiture or other transaction involving Prudential or any other member of the Company Group during the Performance Cycle, (ii) an accounting pronouncement or methodology change, (iii) an unplanned corporate initiative, or (iv) other significant events that are unusual, non-recurring and not reflective of operating performance, the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, assess the impact of any such event on the ROE Goals and adjust such goals and related payout scales as the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, may (i) under normal circumstances, adjust the Final Payout Amount within the standard range of 0% to 150% of the target number of Performance Shares and Performance Units by up to plus or minus 15% of the amount that would otherwise be payable to take into account performance factors and other events, as the Compensation Committee deems desirable, and (ii) in the event of circumstances deemed to be extraordinary by the Compensation Committee, make additional adjustments to the Final Payout Amount.

4.	Vesting or forfeiture of Performance Shares and Performance Units following termination of Employment in specific circumstances

A Participant’s outstanding Performance Shares and Performance Units will automatically be forfeited and cancelled on the termination of the Participant’s Employment and no shares of Common Stock and no amount of cash may thereafter be issued or paid with respect to the Performance Shares and Performance Units, respectively, except in the specific circumstances set out in the table below:


		Performance Shares and Performance Units
Type of Termination of Employment		Vesting Status
Voluntary Resignation		All outstanding Performance Shares and Performance Units are immediately forfeited.


		Performance Shares and Performance Units
Type of Termination of Employment		Vesting Status

If the Participant retires in 2012 in circumstances qualifying for Approved Retirement and executes and submits a Release by the date specified by Prudential (and does not later revoke the Release), the Participant will receive a pro-rated⁽¹⁾ Final Payout Amount as soon as administratively practicable following the PS/PU Payment Date (but in all events not later than the end of the calendar year in which the PS/PU Payment Date occurs). The remainder of the Performance Shares and Performance Units will be forfeited. If the Participant does not execute a Release, all Performance Shares and Performance Units will be forfeited on the last date of Employment. If the Participant retires after 2012 in circumstances qualifying for Approved Retirement and executes and submits a Release by the date specified by Prudential (and does not later revoke the Release), the Participant will receive the Final Payout Amount as soon as administratively practicable following the PS/PU Payment Date (but in all events not later than the end of the calendar year in which the PS/PU Payment Date occurs). If the Participant does not execute a Release, all Performance Shares and Performance Units will be forfeited on the last date of Employment.

Termination for Cause		All outstanding Performance Shares and Performance Units are immediately forfeited. The Compensation Committee may require the Participant to repay any payment, profit, gain or other benefit (including, but not limited to, any dividends or Dividend Equivalents) in respect of the Performance Shares and Performance Units or any prior performance shares or performance units received within a period of twelve (12) months before the Participant’s termination of Employment for Cause. If a Participant’s Employment is terminated by any member of the Company Group for Cause, the provisions in these Terms relating to termination for Cause will apply notwithstanding any assertion (by the Participant or otherwise) that the Participant’s Employment was terminated for any other reason.

Death (while an active employee)		All outstanding Performance Shares and Performance Units become fully vested at target and the Participant’s estate will receive a corresponding number of shares of Common Stock and cash as soon as administratively practicable (but not later than 74 days) thereafter.

Involuntary Termination for any other reason		If a Participant executes and submits a Release by the date specified by Prudential (and does not later revoke the Release), a pro-rated⁽²⁾ target number of Performance Shares and Performance Units will vest and the Participant will receive a corresponding number of shares of Common Stock and cash, respectively, as soon as administratively practicable (but not later than 74 days) thereafter. The remainder of the Performance Shares and Performance Units will be forfeited. If the Participant does not execute a Release, all Performance Shares and Performance Units will be forfeited on the last date of Employment.

Change of Control		All Performance Shares and Performance Units will become vested at target and the Participant will receive shares of Common Stock and cash, respectively; unless the entity that acquires control honors, assumes, or substitutes new rights for the Performance Shares and Performance Units with substantially equivalent or better rights, terms, conditions and values as determined by the Compensation Committee. Alternatively, the Compensation Committee may, at its sole discretion, provide for payment in cash based on the Change of Control price

⁽¹⁾	Pro-ration is based on the number of months of active service during that year divided by 12. The remaining balance will be forfeited as of the date of retirement.

⁽²⁾	Pro-ration is based on the number of months of active service in the Performance Cycle divided by 36.

6.	Section 409A

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and any regulations issued under Section 409A with respect to any individual who is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A and any regulations, on termination of the Participant’s employment with any member of the Company Group, delivery of shares of Common Stock may not be made before the date that is six (6) months after the date of such termination of Employment (or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death). In addition, to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 409A and any regulations issued under Section 409A, if an award of Performance Shares or Performance Units is treated as deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, no distribution will be made (although vesting will accelerate to the extent otherwise provided above) in respect of such award upon the occurrence of a Change of Control unless such event qualifies as a change in the ownership of a corporation, change in the effective control of a corporation or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of a corporation within the meaning of Section 409A and any regulations issued thereunder.

7.	Dividend Equivalents

A Participant granted Performance Shares and Performance Units will be eligible to receive Dividend Equivalents on the lesser of (a) the Final Payout Amount; or (b) the respective target amount of Performance Shares and Performance Units, based on any regular cash dividends declared on Common Stock from the Grant Date until the PS/PU Payment Date (or until the date of forfeiture, if sooner). Any Dividend Equivalents will be paid in cash as soon as administratively practicable after shares of common stock are delivered in respect of the corresponding Performance Shares and cash is payable with respect to the Performance Units. There will be no reinvestment option or earned interest credits on any Dividend Equivalent.

If the Participant retires in 2012 in circumstances qualifying for Approved Retirement and executes and submits a Release by the date specified by Prudential (and does not later revoke the Release), the treatment of Book Value Units will depend on the extent to which such Book Value Units are sourced from the Participant’s long-term incentive compensation or annual incentive award. With respect to the portion of Book Value Units sourced from the Participant’s long-term incentive compensation, the Participant will receive, as soon as administratively practicable following each successive BVU Payment Date (but in all events not later than the end of the calendar year in which the applicable BVU Payment Date occurs), a cash payment equal to the product of (I) one third (1/3) of the pro-rated⁽¹⁾ number of the Book Value Units sourced from the Participant’s long-term incentive compensation outstanding at the time of the Participant’s termination of Employment and (II) the Book Value Per Share as of the fiscal quarter ended on or immediately before the applicable BVU Payment Date. The remainder of the Participant’s outstanding Book Value Units sourced from the Participant’s long-term incentive compensation will be forfeited. With respect to the portion of Book Value Units sourced from the Participant’s annual incentive award, the Participant will receive payment in respect of such portion of Book Value Units at the same time and in the same amount that would have been payable had the Participant remained in Employment. If the Participant does not execute a Release, all Book Value Units (whether or not sourced from long-term incentive compensation or annual incentive award) will be forfeited on the last date of Employment. If the Participant retires after 2012 in circumstances qualifying for Approved Retirement and executes and submits a Release by the date specified by Prudential (and does not later revoke the Release), the Participant will receive payment in respect of his or her remaining Book Value Units at the same time and in the same amounts that would have been payable had the Participant remained in Employment. If the Participant does not execute a Release, all Book Value Units will be forfeited on the last date of Employment.

Involuntary Termination for any other reason		If a Participant executes and submits a Release by the date specified by Prudential (and does not later revoke the Release), a pro-rated⁽²⁾ number of such Participant’s then outstanding Book Value Units will vest and the Participant will receive a cash payment equal to the product of (I) such pro-rated number of such outstanding Book Value Units and (II) the Book Value Per Share as of the fiscal quarter ended on or immediately prior to the Participant’s termination of Employment. This cash payment will be made as soon as administratively practicable (but not later than 74 days) after the Participant’s termination of Employment.
