                     TRUSTEE'S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION

    This is one of the Securities of the series designated  therein referred to
in the within-mentioned Indenture.


Dated: June 29, 2001

CITIBANK, N.A.
  as Trustee

By:  ___________________________
         Authorized Signatory








                          [Form of Reverse of Security]

     This  Security  is one of a duly  authorized  series of  Securities  of the
Company designated as Prudential  Research Universe  Diversified Equity NotesSM,
PRUDENTSSM Due December 29, 2004 (herein called the  "Securities").  The Company
may,  without  the consent of the  holders of the  Securities,  create and issue
additional  notes ranking  equally with the Securities and otherwise  similar in
all respects so that such further notes shall be consolidated  and form a single
series with the Securities;  provided that no additional  notes can be issued if
an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Securities.  This series of
Securities  is one of an indefinite  number of series of debt  securities of the
Company,  issued and to be issued under an  indenture,  dated as of September 1,
1987, as amended (herein called the "Indenture"), duly executed and delivered by
the Company and Citibank N.A., as trustee  (herein  called the "Trustee",  which
term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and
all indentures  supplemental  thereto reference is hereby made for a description
of the  rights,  limitations  of  rights,  obligations,  duties  and  immunities
thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities.

                  The Average Level of the Underlying Basket used to calculate
the Alternative Redemption Amount shall be determined by the Calculation Agent.

                  All percentages resulting from any calculation with respect to
the Securities will be rounded at the Calculation Agent's discretion.

                  The Trustee shall fully rely on the determination by the
Calculation Agent of the Maturity Payment Amount and shall have no duty to make
any such determination.

                  This Security is not subject to any sinking fund and is not
redeemable prior to its Stated Maturity.

                  If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities shall
occur and be continuing, the amounts payable on all of the Securities may be
declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture. The amount payable to the Holder hereof upon any acceleration
permitted under the Indenture will be equal to the Maturity Payment Amount
calculated as though the date of acceleration was the Stated Maturity.


                 The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and
the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than 662/3% in
aggregate principal amount of each series of Securities at the time Outstanding
to be affected (each series voting as a class), evidenced as in the Indenture
provided, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to, or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or
of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the
holders of the Securities of all such series; provided, however, that no such
supplemental indenture shall, among other things, (i) change the fixed maturity
of any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or
extend the time of payment of interest thereon or reduce any premium payable on
redemption, or make the principal thereof, or premium, if any, or interest
therein payable in any coin or currency other than that hereinabove provided,
without the consent of the holder of each Security so affected, or (ii) change
the place of payment on any Security, or impair the right to institute suit for
payment on any Security, or reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities, the
holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture,



                                                                               2

without the consent of the holders of each Security so affected. It is also
provided in the Indenture that, prior to any declaration accelerating the
maturity of any series of Securities, the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of such series Outstanding may on behalf of
the holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default or Event
of Default under the Indenture with respect to such series and its consequences,
except a default in the payment of interest, if any or the principal of, or
premium if any, on any of the Securities of such series, or in the payment of
any sinking fund installment or analogous obligation with respect to Securities
of such series. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall
be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future holders and
owners of this Security and any Securities which may be issued in exchange or
substitution hereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made
upon this Security or such other Securities.

                  No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this
Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal amount with
respect to this Security.

                  The Securities are issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any
integral multiple of $1,000.

                  The Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or of
the Trustee may deem and treat the registered holder (the "Holder") hereof as
the absolute owner of this Security (whether or not this Security shall be
overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon),
for the purpose of receiving payment hereof, or on account hereof, and for all
other purposes and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the
Company or of the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All
such payments made to or upon the order of such registered holder shall, to the
extent of the sum or sums paid, effectually satisfy and discharge liability for
moneys payable on this Security.

                  No recourse for the payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on this Security, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in
respect hereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or
agreement of the Company in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto
or in any Security, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented
thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or
director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor
corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor
corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by
the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability
being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue
hereof, expressly waived and released.

                  As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in
the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of
transfer at the Corporate Trust Office or agency in a Place of Payment for this
Security, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by,
the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Securities of this series or of like tenor and of
authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.


                                                                               3


                  THE INDENTURE AND THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND

arithmetic average of the Level of the Underlying Basket on each of the
Calculation Dates.

                  "Business Day" notwithstanding the Indenture, shall mean any

AMEX is not open for securities trading or commercial banks in New York City are
authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.

                  "Calculation Agency Agreement" shall mean the Calculation
Agency Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2001, between the Company and the
Calculation Agent, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.

                  "Calculation Agent" shall mean the person that has entered
into an agreement with the Company providing for, among other things, the
determination of the Level of the Underlying Basket and the Maturity Payment
Amount. The initial Calculation Agent is Lehman Brothers Inc.
 .
                  "Calculation Date" shall mean each of September 26, 2001,
December 26, 2001, March 26, 2002, June 26, 2002, September 26, 2002, December
26, 2002, March 26, 2003, June 26, 2003, September 26, 2003, December 26, 2003,

                  "Close of Trading" shall mean 4:00 p.m., New York City time.

                  "Closing Price," means the following, determined by the
Calculation Agent based on information reasonably available to it:

(i)      If the Underlying Security is listed on a United States national
         securities exchange, trading system or is a NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc.
         security, the last reported sale price at the Close of Trading, regular
         way, on such day, on the primary securities exchange or trading system
         registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on which such
         Underlying Security is listed or admitted to trading or NASDAQ Stock
         Market, Inc., as the case may be.

                                                                               4

(ii)     If the Underlying Security is listed on a non-United States securities
         exchange, trading system (other than a bulletin board) or market, the
         last reported sale price at the Close of Trading, regular way, on such
         day, on the primary exchange, trading system or market on which such
         Underlying Security is listed or admitted to trading, as the case may
         be. The Closing Price will then be converted into U.S. dollars using
         the Official W.M. Reuters Spot Closing Rate.

(iii)    If the Underlying Security is not listed on a national securities
         exchange or trading system or is not a NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc.
         security, and is listed or traded on a bulletin board, the Average
         Execution Price of the Underlying Security. If such Underlying Security
         is listed or traded on a non-United States bulletin board, the Closing
         Price will then be converted into U.S. dollars using the Official W.M.
         Reuters Spot Closing Rate.

(iv)     If a Market Disruption Event has occurred for an Underlying Security on
         a day on which the Closing Price for such Underlying Security is to be
         calculated, the Closing Price for such Underlying Security shall
         initially be determined using the Closing Price for such Underlying
         Security on the next preceding Trading Day on which a Market Disruption
         Event did not occur. Once the Market Disruption Event has ceased, the
         Closing Price of such Underlying Security shall then be adjusted to
         equal the Average Execution Price of the Underlying Security.

                  "Issue Price" shall mean $1,000.

                  "Level of the Underlying Basket", when used with respect to
any Calculation Date shall equal the sum of (a) the sum of the products of the
Closing Prices and the applicable Multipliers for each Underlying Security for
which a Market Disruption Event does not occur on such Calculation Date, (b) if
a Market Disruption Event occurs for an Underlying Security on such Calculation
Date, the product of the Closing Price for such Underlying Security and the
Multiplier for such Underlying Security and (c) any Cash included in the
Underlying Basket on such Calculation Date.

                  "Market Disruption Event" with respect to an Underlying
Security means any of the following events as determined by the Calculation
Agent:

(i)  A suspension,  absence or material limitation of trading of such Underlying
     Security has occurred on that day, in each case, for more than two hours of
     trading or during the one-half  hour period  preceding the Close of Trading
     on the primary  organized  U.S.  exchange  or trading  system on which such
     Underlying Security is traded or, in the case of an Underlying Security not
     listed or quoted in the United  States,  on the primary  exchange,  trading
     system or market  for such  Underlying  Security.  Limitations  on  trading
     during significant market fluctuations imposed pursuant to NYSE Rule 80B or
     any applicable  rule or regulation  enacted or promulgated by the NYSE, any
     other  exchange,  trading  system,  or market,  any other  self  regulatory
     organization or the Securities and Exchange  Commission of similar scope or
     as a replacement for Rule 80B, may be considered material.  Notwithstanding
     the first  sentence of this  paragraph,  a Market  Disruption  Event for an
     Underlying Security traded on a bulletin board means a suspension,  absence
     or material limitation of trading of such Underlying Security for more than
     two hours or during the one hour period  preceding 4:00 p.m., New York City
     time.

                                                                               5
(ii)     A suspension, absence or material limitation has occurred on that day,
         in each case, for more than two hours of trading or during the one-half
         hour period preceding the Close of Trading in options contracts related
         to such Underlying Security, whether by reason of movements in price
         exceeding levels permitted by an exchange, trading system or market on
         which options contracts related to such Underlying Security are traded
         or otherwise.

(iii)    Information is unavailable on that date, through a recognized system of
         public dissemination of transaction information, for more than two
         hours of trading or during the one-half hour period preceding the Close
         of Trading, of accurate price, volume or related information in respect
         of such Underlying Security or in respect of options contracts related
         to such Underlying Security, in each case traded on any major U.S.
         exchange or trading system or in the case of Underlying Securities of a
         non-U.S. issuer, the primary non-U.S. exchange, trading system or
         market.

         For purposes of determining whether a Market Disruption Event has
         occurred:

(i)      a limitation on the hours or number of days of trading will not
         constitute a Market Disruption Event if it results from an announced
         change in the regular business hours of the relevant exchange, trading
         system or market;

(ii)     any suspension in trading in an option contract on an Underlying
         Security by a major securities exchange, trading system or market by
         reason of (a) a price change violating limits set by such securities
         market, (b) an imbalance of orders relating to those contracts, or (c)
         a disparity in bid and ask quotes relating to those contracts will
         constitute a Market Disruption Event notwithstanding that the
         suspension or material limitation is less than two hours;

(iii)    a suspension or material limitation on an exchange, trading system or
         in a market will include a suspension or material limitation of trading
         by one class of investors provided that the suspension continues for
         more than two hours of trading or during the last one-half hour period
         preceding the Close of Trading on the relevant exchange, trading system
         or market but will not include any time when the relevant exchange,
         trading system or market is closed for trading as part of that
         exchange's, trading system's or market's regularly scheduled business
         hours; and

(iv)     "Trading systems" include bulletin board services


                                                                               6



                  "Multiplier" relating to each Underlying Security shall mean
the number of shares or other units (including ADRs) (or fractional share or
other unit expressed as a decimal) of such Underlying Security included in the
Underlying Basket. The initial multipliers are as set forth below:
