Individual Retirement Account (IRA) Required Minimum Distribution

(1)

Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC (PMFS) a Prudential Financial company

Why This

Form is

Important

When you reach age 70½, the tax law requires that you withdraw a certain amount of money each year from your retirement account and pay taxes on this amount. These annual withdrawals are known as required minimum distributions.

Fill out this form to begin taking the required minimum distribution from your PMFS mutual fund Individual Retirement Account. Note: The required minimum distribution will be based on the year-end balances of all funds within your account.

You should plan these withdrawals carefully. You need to take into account your income needs as well as the future income needs of your spouse, children, or other beneficiaries. Some of the choices you make cannot be changed. Also, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) imposes stiff penalties if certain rules are not followed. For these reasons, we suggest that you consult with your tax adviser because neither we nor our representatives can provide tax advice.

On these pages, I, you, and your refer to the account owner. We and our refers to PMFS.

_Calculation

Instructions

We will calculate your required minimum distribution amount based upon your PMFS mutual fund IRA value as of the preceding December 31. Please indicate whether you would like us to calculate your first-year distribution only or calculate each year on an ongoing basis.

_Life

Expectancy

Method

Your required minimum distribution is determined by dividing the total amount in your IRA on December 31 of the previous year by your life expectancy factor.

The Uniform Lifetime Table is used for everyone age 70 and older. An exception to this rule applies where the account owner is married to a spouse who is the sole primary beneficiary and is more than 10 years younger than the account owner. The Joint Life and Last Survivor Expectancy Table (recalculation method) would be used to determine the distribution payment of the owner and spouse.

You can find the IRS life expectancy tables by contacting the IRS Forms Distribution Center at

(800) 829-3676 (TAX-FORM) or by downloading Publication 590 from http://www.irs.ustreas.gov/forms_pubs.

Calculation Method. Under the float (recalculation) method, you will refer to the life expectancy tables each year to figure out your new life expectancy.

_Tax

Withholding

Election

Indicate what percentage, if any, that we should withhold for income taxes.

The IRS generally requires you to "pay as you go" while you are taking money out of your retirement accounts. Writing one check each year to cover the taxes on your withdrawals may subject you to IRS penalties for failing to make estimated payments. You should consult with your tax adviser to determine how much to withhold.

_Distribution

Instructions

You can wait until April 1 of the year after you turn 70½ to take your first withdrawal; however, you must take your next withdrawal by December 31 of the same year. Failure to make required distributions on time may result in IRS penalties. Please consult your tax adviser.

Please indicate:

• when you want the distributions to begin, • how often the distributions should be made, and

• if we should allocate the distribution from all funds or allocate only from the specified funds.

Receiving your distributions.

There are three ways to receive your required minimum distribution:

A. Reinvest the required minimum distribution into a non-retirement PMFS mutual fund account. We will reinvest the distribution from your IRA account. The distribution will be calculated proportionately across all funds within the account number unless otherwise specified. The distribution will be taken from the fund(s) named in the Systematic Exchange From section into the existing fund(s) and account number you name in the Systematic Exchange Tosection.

If a non-IRA does not exist, you are required to include a completed Mutual Fund Account Application with this form to establish the non-IRA.

The IRA mutual fund must be within the same share class and same fund family as the non-IRA mutual fund. There are usually no sales charges for moving money from one fund to another fund within the same share class.

There might be restrictions on reinvesting your distributions into certain money market funds. See the Fund prospectus for additional information.

B. You may also choose to have your distribution wired to your bank account. You can receive your distributions quickly and easily with direct deposit. Be sure to attach a voided check or deposit slip from your bank account, and allow up to three weeks to activate the first direct deposit.

C. Receive a check.

The taxable portion of your withdrawal will normally be subject to federal income tax withholding at a rate of 10 percent for non-annuity payments, and is based on withholding tables for annuity payments. Your withdrawal may also be subject to state income tax withholding in certain states.
