B.  NEW PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER
In the "Other  Information"  section of each  prospectus,  under the heading  entitled "Sales and  Distribution  of the Contract.",  we
identify  Prudential  Investment  Management  Services  LLC (PIMS) as the  principal  underwriter  and  distributor  of the  annuities.
Beginning  as of the date of this  supplement,  PIMS has been  replaced by an  affiliated  broker-dealer  called  Prudential  Annuities
Distributors,  Inc. ("PAD").  Accordingly,  we replace the first two paragraphs under "Sales and Distribution of the Contract" with the
following, and in the remainder of that section, replace references to PIMS with PAD:

"Prudential  Annuities  Distributors,  Inc.  (PAD), a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Prudential  Annuities,  Inc., is the  distributor and
principal  underwriter of the annuities  offered through this  prospectus.  PAD acts as the distributor of a number of annuity and life
