JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
PETITION FOR APPROVAL OF SETTLEMENT AS TO MINOR
NOW comes AMANDA D. MILLER, Individually and as parent and natural guardian
of AUSTIN L. MILLER, by and through her attorneys, Purcell, Krug and Haller and files the
following Petition for Approval of Settlement As to Minor:
1. Petitioner is Amanda D. Miller (hereinafter "Mother"), parent and natural
guardian of Austin L. Miller, a minor, born June 26, 1997 (hereinafter "Child"). Petitioner
resides at 108 West Main Street, Newburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
2. Respondent 1 is Dr. Joseph A. Gensbigler (hereinafter "Gensbigler"), an adult
individual, with a current address of 40 North 36th Street, Camp Hill, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania.
3. Respondent 2 is West Shore Family Dentistry, LTD., (hereinafter "Dentistry"), a
Corporation operating under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, with a
registered address at 40 North 35th Street, Camp Hill, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
4. This matter arises out of an incident that occurred on March 29, 2007, wherein
Child appeared for an appointment with Gensbigler to have a tooth filled in the lower left
side of his mouth.
5. Without novocaine, Gensbigler extracted from the lower right side of Child's
mouth a different tooth.
6. As a result, Child sustained severe pain for some four weeks, lost one day from
school, suffered embarrassment from having a deep hole in his jaw, and worried for one
year about the viability of the underlying adult tooth.
7. Mother has expended the sum of $275 for out-of-pocket costs, expenses and
lost time from work.
8. There are no outstanding medical, psychological or other bills as a result of the
subject incident, all treatment for Child having ceased, except for the lien balance stated
in Paragraph 10C infra.
9. Dr. Ira Heller, Child's orthodontist, has examined the adult tooth coming in, and
he has certified that the new tooth is viable and that Child should have no future problems
with the tooth. See Exhibit "A" attached hereto.
10. The law firm of Purcell, Krug & Haller (hereinafter "PK&H") was retained to
represent Child and Mother, and a settlement has been reached for a total payment of
$37,500 payable as follows:
A. Child - structured settlement with an approximate current value of
$27,700;
B. Mother - reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses, costs, and lost
time from work ($275).
C. Department of Public Welfare (Medicaid) - lien ($71.05). See Exhibit
"B" attached hereto.
D. Attorneys Fees/Costs - 25% of the gross award ($9,375) and costs
($78.50)
11. The settlement for Child provides for structured, periodic payments, as follows:
A. Guaranteed Payment of $9,900 at age 18 (6/26/2015);
2
B. Guaranteed Payment of $9,900 at age 19 (6/26/2016);
C. Guaranteed Payment of $9,900 at age 20 (6/26/2017);
D. Guaranteed Payment of $9,900 at age 21 (6/26/2018);
A copy of the Plan of Benefits is attached hereto as Exhibit "C" and is incorporated herein
by reference.
12. The liability to make the future payments defined herein shall be assigned to
PASSCORP, the qualified assignee of the Prudential Insurance Company of America
(hereinafter "Prudential'). The qualified assignee reserves the right to fund said liability by
purchase of an annuity from Prudential, rated A+ (Superior) by A.M. Best Company, which
obligation is further protected by a Prudential Guarantee and Pledge. (See Exhibit "D"
attached hereto).
13. Pursuant to the Fee Agreement, PK&H is entitled to a fee of 33 1/3% after a
lawsuit has been filed; however, PK&H has agreed to accept a fee of 25% of the gross
award for Child, which comes to $9,375.00. A copy of the Fee Agreement, Billing and
itemization of costs is attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit "E".
14. In light of the foregoing, Mother would like to execute the Settlement
Agreement and Release, attached hereto as Exhibit "F" with regard to the liability and
claims of Child, and the Qualified Assignment and Release Agreement, attached hereto
as Exhibit "G".
15. It is believed and therefore averred that the proposed settlement and allocation
are fair, owing to there being no permanent harm to Child; the limited pain and suffering
experienced; the expense and risk of litigation; the state of the law with potentials for
3
appeals and delay; the fact that Child has been completely discharged with respect to the
issue of harm to the adult tooth by his treating orthodontist; Child is well adjusted and
doing well in school; and the relatively high net settlement for Child.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests that this Honorable Court:
A. GRANT the Petition for Approval of Settlement as to Minor.
B. Authorize and direct Petitioner to execute the Settlement Agreement and
Release, the Qualified Assignment & Release Agreement, and any other
structured settlement documents, for the purpose of settling the liability claim
as to Respondents.
C. Approve cash funds to Mother of $275.00 for reimbursement of out-of-
pocket costs, expenses and lost time from work.
D. Approve the structured settlement providing for the following periodic
payments to Child:
a) Guaranteed Payment of $9,900 at age 18;
b) Guaranteed Payment of $9,900 at age 19;
c) Guaranteed Payment of $9,900 at age 20;
d) Guaranteed Payment of $9,900 at age 21;
D. Approve payment of $71.05 to Department of Public Welfare from Child's
settlement for reimbursement of lien.
E. Approve payment of $9,453.95 to Purcell, Krug & Haller from Child's
settlement for attorney's fees and expenses.

Subject: Questions raised concerning the development of
the patient's secondary dentition - (mandibular
right cuspid) - anticipated long-term prognosis;
Dear Mr. Krug,
With regard to the questions which have been raised with respect to the development of
the patient's secondary dentition as referenced above, I do not anticipate that there will be
any long-term adverse sequelae resulting from the timing of the removal of the overlying
primary cuspid.
The patient has been approved for orthodontic care by his insurer. With respect to the
secondary (permanent) cuspid, it s not expected that the latter will complicate his care.
Should any further questions arise, please feel free to call the office.

The Prudential Insurance Company of America
200 Wood Avenue South
Iselin, NJ 08830
Whereas, The Prudential Insurance Company of America ("Prudential") is a New Jersey insurance company; and
Whereas, Prudential Assigned Settlement Services Corporation ("PASSCorp"), a Prudential company, exists to
service the needs of the structured settlement annuity market by assuming third party payment obligations to
injured parties ("Claimants") pursuant to assignment agreements qualified under Section 130 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Assignments"); and
Whereas, in entering into said Assignments, PASSCorp purchases annuity contracts from Prudential; and
Whereas, Prudential desires to facilitate such structured settlement arrangements;
Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises, and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of
which is hereby acknowledged, Prudential hereby agrees as follows:
1. Prudential hereby unconditionally guarantees the payment obligations of PASSCorp to Claimants under
any Assignment which PASSCorp enters into on or after the date hereof and in connection with which
PASSCorp purchases annuity contracts from Prudential to fund the payment of PASSCorp's obligations
under such Assignments.
2. Prudential agrees that if PASSCorp should fail to make any payment under an Assignment, Prudential will
make such payment promptly after receipt of a written notice of PASSCorp's default.
3. This Guarantee will not obligate Prudential to guarantee or maintain the capital and/or surplus of PASSCorp
at any level.
4. No policyholder or creditor of PASSCorp nor any other person, other than a Claimant or his or her properly
designated beneficiary or estate to which PASSCorp is required to make payment(s) under the Assignments,
will be entitled to any benefit or other right by virtue of this Guarantee.
5. Neither the bankruptcy, insolvency, nor reorganization of PASSCorp will affect this Guarantee. All outstanding
Assignments of PASSCorp may be transferred (by agreement, consolidation, merger or otherwise) to another
entity controlled by Prudential and this Guarantee will be simultaneously amended to substitute such transferee
entity for PASSCorp hereunder.
6. Prudential reserves the right to revoke this guarantee upon 7 days written notice to PASSCorp; provided,
however, that any such revocation will not affect Prudential's guarantee obligations under Assignments
entered into by PASSCorp prior to the effective date of such revocation.
7. This Guarantee is binding upon the successors and assigns of Prudential and will be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey.
In witness whereof, The Prudential Insurance Company of America has caused this Guarantee to be signed in its
corporate name by a corporate officer as of May 22, 1996, and amended as of October 31, 2001.

Settlement Agreement and Release
This Settlement Agreement and Release (the "Settlement Agreement") is made and
entered into this day of May, 2009, by, between, and among:
"Claimants" Austin L. Miller, a minor, by and through Amanda D. Miller, his
parent and natural guardian, and Amanda D. Miller, individually
"Insured" Joseph A. Gensbigler, D.D.S. and West Shore Family Dentistry, Ltd.
"Insurer" The Medical Protective Company
Recitals
A. On or about the 28th day of March, 2007, the minor Claimant, Austin L. Miller,
(b. 6/26/97) was allegedly injured as a result of an incident occurring at 40 North 36th Street,
Camp Hill, Pennsylvania. Claimants contend that the incident and resulting physical and
personal injuries arose out of certain alleged negligent acts or omissions of Insured, and have
made a claim seeking monetary damages on account of those injuries. Insured denies any
negligence in treatment of the minor Claimant.
B. Insurer is the liability insurer of the Insured, and as such, would be obligated to
pay any claim made or judgment obtained against Insured which is covered by its policy with
Insured.
C. The parties desire to enter into this Settlement Agreement in order to provide for
certain payments in full settlement and discharge of all claims which have, or might be made, by
reason of the incident described in Recital A above, upon the terms and conditions set forth
below.
Agreement
The parties agree as follows:
EXHIB
a
1.0 Release and Discharge
1.1 In consideration of the payments set forth in Section 2, Claimants hereby
completely release and forever discharge Insured and insurer, their heirs, successors and assigns,
from any and all past, present or future claims, demands, obligations, actions, causes of action,
wrongful death claims, rights, damages, costs, losses of services, expenses and compensation of
any nature whatsoever, whether based on a tort, contract or other theory of recovery, which the
Claimants now have, or which may hereafter accrue or otherwise be acquired, on account of, or
may in any way grow out of the incident described in Recital A above including, without
limitation, any and all known or unknown claims for bodily and personal injuries to Austin L.
Miller, or any future wrongful death claim of Claimants' representatives or heirs, which have
resulted or may result from the alleged acts or omissions of the Insured.
1.2 This Release shall not apply as to the following, which Claimants shall have the
continuing right to pursue.
a. A claim or suit against any dental or medical health care provider or
institution, other than Insured, who or which committed malpractice or was
negligent in treating and diagnosing Claimant's condition after March 28, 2007;
b. A claim or suit against the Prudential Insurance Company of America,
PASSCORP, their affiliates or assignees for breach of any duty, arising pursuant
to the terms of the Structured Settlement or the duty to make cash payments,
required as a result of the said settlement.
c. Claims or suits arising as a result of malpractice committed by
professionals not currently associated or connected with Insured with respect to
diagnosis and treatment of the area of the mouth allegedly involved in the claim
against Insured.
1.3 This release, on the part of the Claimants, shall be a fully binding and complete
settlement among the Claimants, the Insured and the Insurer, and their heirs, assigns and
successors.
1.4 The Claimants acknowledge and agree that the release and discharge set forth
above is a general release. Claimants expressly waive and assume the risk of any and all claims
for damages which exist as of this date, but of which the Claimants do not know or suspect to
exist, whether through ignorance, oversight, error, negligence, or otherwise, and which, if
Page 2 of 8
i
known, would materially affect Claimants' decision to enter into this Settlement Agreement.
The Claimants further agree that Claimants have accepted payment of the sums specified herein
as a complete compromise of matters involving disputed issues of law and fact. Claimants
assume the risk that the facts or law may be other than Claimants believe. It is understood and
agreed to by the parties that this settlement is a compromise of a disputed claim, and the
payments are not to be construed as an admission of liability on the part of the Insured, by whom
liability is expressly denied.
1.5 The Claimants hereby discharge and agree to indemnify and save harmless the
Insured and the Insurer from any liens asserted by any health care provider, hospital, insurer, or
attorney for medical expenses, hospital expenses, lost earnings, payments, attorneys liens,
subrogation claims or liens and any workers' compensation liens as a result of this accident or
occurrence.
2.0 Payments
In consideration of the release set forth above, the Insured agrees to pay to the individual
named below ("Payee") the sums outlined in this Section 2 below:
2.1 Payments due at the time of settlement as follows:
$9,800.00 upfront cash, inclusive of attorney fees and expenses
2.2 Periodic payments made to Austin L. Miller ("Payee") according to the schedule
as follows (the "Periodic Payments"):
$9,900.00 annually, for only 4 payments, guaranteed, beginning
on June 26, 2015
Any payments to be made after the death of the Payee, Austin L. Miller, pursuant
to the terms of this Settlement Agreement, shall be made to the Estate of Austin L. Miller or to
such person or entity as shall be designated in writing to the Insured, or the Insurer, or the
Assignee, by the guardian of Austin L. Miller with court approval or from Austin L. Miller,
himself, upon attaining the age of majority. If no person or entity is so designated by Austin L.
Miller, or if the person designated is not living at the time of said Payee's death, such payments
shall be made to the Estate of said Payee. No such designation, nor any revocation thereof, shall
Page 3 of 8
be effective unless it is in writing and delivered to the Insured, or the Insurer or the Assignee.
The designation must be in a form acceptable to the Insured, or the Insurer or the Assignee
before such payments are made.
All sums set forth herein constitute damages on account of personal physical
injuries or physical sickness, within the meaning of Section 104 (a)(2) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended.
2.3 Payee's Address
The payments required under Section 2.2, above, shall be mailed to Austin L.
Miller at:
108 West Main Street
c/o Amanda D. Miller
Newburg, PA 17240
Claimants shall promptly advise Prudential Insurance Company of America in
writing of any address change.
3.0 Claimants' Rights to Payments
Claimants acknowledge that the Periodic Payments cannot be accelerated,
deferred, increased or decreased by the Claimants; nor shall the Claimants have the power to sell,
mortgage, encumber, or anticipate the Periodic Payments, or any part thereof, by assignment or
otherwise.
4.0 Consent to Qualified Assignment
4.1 Claimants acknowledge and agree that the Insured and/or the Insurer may make a
"qualified assignment", within the meaning of Section 130 (c) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, of the Insured's and/or Insurer's liability to make the Periodic Payments set
forth in Section 2.2 to Prudential Assigned Settlement Services Corporation/PASSCORP ("the
Assignee"). The Assignee's obligation for payment of the Periodic Payments shall be no greater
than that of Insured and/or the Insurer (whether by judgment or agreement) immediately
preceding the assignment of the Periodic Payments obligation.
Page 4 of 8
4.2 Any such assignment shall be accepted by the Claimants without right of rejection
and shall completely release and discharge the Insured and the Insurer from the Periodic
Payments obligation assigned to the Assignee. The Claimants recognize that the Assignee shall
be the sole obligor with respect to the Periodic Payments obligation, and that all other releases
with respect to the Periodic Payments obligation that pertain to the liability of the Insured and the
Insurer shall thereupon become final, irrevocable and absolute.
4.3 Prudential Insurance Company of America will issue a letter irrevocably
guaranteeing the performance of the obligations assigned to PASSCORP by way of a Qualified
Assignment Agreement and for which PASSCORP purchases an annuity from Prudential
Insurance Company of America to cover these same obligations.
5.0 Right to Purchase an Annuity
The Insured and/or the Insurer, itself or through the Assignee, reserve the right to
fund the liability to make the Periodic Payments through the purchase of an annuity policy from
Prudential Insurance Company of America. The Insured, the Insurer or the Assignee shall be the
sole owner of the annuity policy and shall have all rights of ownership. The Insured, the Insurer
or the Assignee may have Prudential Insurance Company of America mail payments directly to
the Payee. The Claimants shall be responsible for maintaining a current mailing address with
Prudential Insurance Company of America.
6.0 Discharge of Obligation
The obligation of the Insured, the Insurer and/or Assignee to make each Periodic
Payment shall be discharged upon the mailing of a valid check in the amount of such payment to
the designated address of the Payee named in Section 2.3 of this Settlement Agreement, or the
deposit by electronic funds transfer in the amount of such payment to an account designated by
the Payee identified in Section 2, or by his guardian if account designation is made during
Payee's minority.
Page 5 of 8
7.0 Representation of Comprehension of Document

Claimants have relied upon the advice of their attorneys, who are the attorneys of their own
choice, concerning the legal consequences of this Settlement Agreement; that the terms of this
Settlement Agreement have been completely read and explained to Claimants by their attorneys;
and that the terms of this Settlement Agreement are fully understood and voluntarily accepted by
Claimants.
8.0 Warranty of Capacity to Execute Agreement
Claimants represent and warrant that no other person or entity has, or has had, any
interest in the claims, demands, obligations, or causes of action referred to in this Settlement
Agreement, except as otherwise set forth herein; that Claimants have the sole right and exclusive
authority to execute this Settlement Agreement and receive the sums specified in it; and that
Claimants have not sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of any of the
claims, demands, obligations or causes of action referred to in this Settlement Agreement.

In accord with the italicized sentence in paragraph 1.4, above, Claimants agree
never to suggest or state to anyone, nor to state publicly, that Insured admitted responsibility for
the damages herein claimed.
10.0 Governing Law
This Settlement Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with
the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Any person who, with intent to defraud or
knowing that he or she is facilitating a fraud against an insurer, submits an application or files a
claim containing a false or deceptive statement is guilty of insurance fraud.
11.0 Additional Documents
All parties agree to cooperate fully and execute any and all supplementary
documents and to take all additional actions which may be necessary or appropriate to give full
Page 6of8
force and effect to the basic terms and intent of this Settlement Agreement, including, but not
limited to, obtaining approval of this settlement on the minor's behalf by the Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania, Court of Common Pleas.
12.0 Entire Agreement and Successors in Interest
This Settlement Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Claimants,
the Insured and the Insurer with regard to the matters set forth in it and shall be binding upon and
enure to the benefit of the executors, administrators, personal representatives, heirs, successors
and assigns of each.
13.0 Tax Liability Clause
It is understood between the parties that Claimants have not relied upon any
representation, expressed or implied, made by Insurer, Insured, or any of their representatives, as
to the tax consequences of this Settlement Agreement and that Claimants shall release Insured
and Insurer, and their representatives from any and all liability in connection with any such tax
consequences. However, neither Insured, Insurer, nor their respective representatives shall take
any action whatsoever that will cause the Internal Revenue Service or other governmental entity
to question the non-taxable nature of this Structured Settlement

QUALIFIED ASSIGNMENT AND RELEASE AGREEMENT
and PLEDGE SUPPLEMENT
"Claimant(s)": Austin L. Miller, a minor, by Amanda D. Miller, his parent and natural
guardian
"Assignor": West Shore Family Dentistry, Ltd., by Joseph A. Gensbigler, D.D.S.,
general partner
"Assignee": PASSCORP (Prudential Assigned Settlement Services Corporation)
"Settlement Agreement": Settlement Agreement and Release executed by the parties
on May , 2009
[Date and title of settlement agreement, order or other document embodying
the Assignor's obligation to make the agreed periodic payments]
"Prudential": The Prudential Insurance Company of America
"Effective Date":
"Annuity(ies)": * Policy No(s).
(* To be completed by Prudential.)
This Qualified Assignment and Release Agreement is made and entered into as of the
Effective Date by and among the undersigned parties with reference to the following facts:
A Claimant(s) and Assignor are parties to or are otherwise subject to or entitled to receive
payments under the above referenced Settlement Agreement, under which Assignor has
liability to make certain periodic payments to or for the benefit of Claimant(s) as specified or
referred to in paragraph 12 of this Agreement (the "Periodic Payments"); and
B Assignor and Assignee wish to effect a "qualified assignment" within the meaning and
subject to the conditions of Section 130(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code").
Now, therefore, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable
consideration, the parties agree as follows:
1. Assignment and Assumption; Release of Assignor. Assignor hereby assigns to
Assignee, and Assignee hereby accepts and assumes, all of Assignor's liability to make the
Periodic Payments. Each Claimant hereby accepts and consents to such assignment by
Assignor and assumption by Assignee. Effective on the Effective Date, each Claimant
hereby releases and discharges Assignor from all liability to make the Periodic Payments.
2. Nature of Periodic Payments. The Periodic Payments constitute
i. damages (other than punitive damages), whether by suit or agreement, or
EXHIBIT
Prudential QARP - 2008-03-31
a
a
9
ii. compensation under a workers' compensation act, on account of personal injury or
sickness in a case involving physical injury or physical sickness, within the meaning of
Sections 130(c) and 104(a) of the Code.
Extent of Assignee's Liability. Assignee's liability to make the Periodic Payments shall be
no greater than the liability of Assignor immediately prior to the Effective Date. Assignee
assumes no liability other than the liability to make the Periodic Payments. Assignee's
liability to make the Periodic Payments shall be unaffected by any bankruptcy or insolvency
of Assignor.
Qualified Funding Asset. Assignee will fund the Periodic Payments by purchasing from
Prudential a "qualified funding asset," as defined in Section 130(d) of the Code, in the form
of an annuity contract (the "Annuity") issued by Prudential and providing for payments
corresponding to the Periodic Payments. Assignee shall be designated as the owner of the
Annuity. All rights of legal ownership and control of the Annuity shall (subject to paragraph 9
of this Agreement) be and remain vested exclusively in Assignee; provided, however, that
the Annuity shall be used by Assignee to fund the Periodic Payments and shall at all times
be designated by Assignee on its records as being taken into account, under Section 130 of
the Code, with respect to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, neither any Claimant nor any Successor Payee (as defined in
paragraph 8 of this Agreement) shall have any rights with respect to the Annuity or the
payments thereunder that would cause any amount attributable to the Annuity to be
currently includible in the recipient's income or would otherwise affect the determination of
when any recipient is treated as having received any payment for income tax purposes, or
would otherwise prevent this Agreement from satisfying all of the conditions for a "qualified
assignment" within the meaning of Section 130(c) of the Code.
3.
4.
Prudential will compensate the selling insurance agency in connection with Assignee's
purchase of the Annuity. This compensation will include commissions and also may include
marketing incentives.
5. Delivery of Payments. Assignee may have Prudential send payments directly to a
Claimant, or, if applicable, to a Successor Payee, or deliver payments by electronic funds
transfer to an FDIC-insured depository institution in the United States for credit (directly or
indirectly) to an insured account in the name of such Claimant or Successor Payee. Such
direction of payments under the Annuity shall not be deemed to afford the Claimant or any
Successor Payee any rights of ownership or control of the Annuity. Each Claimant and any
Successor Payee shall at all times keep Annuity Issuer apprised of such Claimant's or
Successor Payee's current street address and telephone number and, if such Claimant or
Successor Payee receives payments by electronic funds transfer, the name, address, bank
identifier number (BIN) and telephone number of the applicable depository institution and
the account number of the account to which the payments are to be credited.
6. Discharge of Liability. The Assignee's liability to make each Periodic Payment to the
Claimant or Successor Payee designated to receive such payment shall be discharged
automatically at such time as a corresponding payment is made to such Claimant or
Successor Payee by Prudential.
7. Acceleration, Transfer of Payment Rights. None of the Periodic Payments and no rights
to or interest in any of the Periodic Payments (all of the foregoing being hereinafter
collectively referred to as "Payment Rights") can be
Prudential QARP - 2008-03-31
L Accelerated, deferred, increased or decreased by any recipient of any of the Periodic
Payments; or
ii. Sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred or encumbered, either
directly or indirectly, unless such sale, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other
transfer or encumbrance (any such transaction being hereinafter referred to as a
"Transfer") has been approved in advance in a "Qualified Order" as defined in Section
5891(b)(2) of the Code (a "Qualified Order") and otherwise complies with applicable
state law, including without limitation any applicable state structured settlement
protection statute.
No Claimant or Successor Payee shall have the power to effect any Transfer of Payment
Rights except as provided in sub-paragraph (ii) above, and any other purported Transfer of
Payment Rights shall be wholly void. If Payment Rights under this Agreement become the
subject of a Transfer approved in accordance with sub-paragraph (ii) above, then the rights
of any direct or indirect transferee of such Transfer shall be subject to the terms of this
Agreement and any defense or claim in recoupment arising hereunder.
8. Beneficiaries. Any Periodic Payments to be made after the death of any Claimant or
Successor Payee shall be made to such party as shall have been designated in, or in
accordance with, the Settlement Agreement or, if the Settlement Agreement does not
provide for such designation, then to the party designated in conformity with this paragraph
8. Any party so designated is referred to in this Agreement as a "Contingent Beneficiary." If
no Contingent Beneficiary is living at the time of the death of a Claimant or Successor
Payee, payment shall be made to the decedent's estate. As used in this agreement the
term "Successor Payee" refers to a Contingent Beneficiary or an estate that has become
entitled to receive Periodic Payments following the death of a Claimant or a Successor
Payee. Except as otherwise provided in the Settlement Agreement, no designation or
change of designation of a Contingent Beneficiary shall be effective unless such change (i)
is requested in a written request submitted to Assignee (or its authorized agent) in
accordance with Assignee's customary procedures for processing such requests; and (ii) is
confirmed by Assignee (or its authorized agent). Except for a designation that is expressly
identified in the Settlement Agreement as irrevocable, any designation of a Contingent
Beneficiary shall be deemed to be revocable; and no party that is designated as a
Contingent Beneficiary (other than a party irrevocably designated as a Contingent
Beneficiary in the Settlement Agreement) shall, solely by virtue of its designation as a
Contingent Beneficiary, be deemed to have any cognizable interest in any Periodic
Payments.
9. Failure to Satisfy Section 130(c). If at any time prior to completion of the Periodic
Payments, the Settlement Agreement is declared terminated in a final, non-appealable order
of a court of competent jurisdiction (or in the case of a workers' compensation settlement, a
final order of the applicable workers' compensation authority) or if it is determined in any
such final order that the requirements of Section 130(c) of the Code have not been satisfied
in connection with this Agreement: (i) the assignment by Assignor to Assignee of the liability
to make the Periodic Payments, Assignee's acceptance of such assignment, and the
release by Claimant(s) of Assignor's liability shall be of no force or effect; (ii) Assignee shall
be conclusively deemed to be acting as the agent of Assignor; (iii) the Annuity shall be
owned by Assignor, which shall retain the liability to make the Periodic Payments; (iv)
Assignee shall have no liability to make any Periodic Payments; and (v) the parties hereto
agree to cooperate in taking such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to implement
the foregoing.
Prudential QARP - 2008-03-31
10. Governing Law; Disclosure of Certain Tax Information; Binding Effect.
(i) This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the internal
laws of the State of New Jersey; provided, however, that any Transfer of Payment
Rights under this Agreement may be subject to the laws of other states in addition to the
state designated above.
(ii) This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
successors, heirs, executors, administrators and permitted assigns, including without
limitation any party asserting an interest in Payment Rights.
11. Advice, Comprehension of Agreement. In entering into this Agreement, each Claimant
represents and warrants that (i) such Claimant has relied solely upon the legal and tax
advice of such Claimant's own attorneys and other advisors, who are the attorneys and
advisors of such Claimant's choice, concerning the legal and income tax consequences of
this Agreement; and (ii) the terms of this Agreement have been completely read by and
explained to such Claimant and are fully understood and voluntarily accepted by such
Claimant.
12. Description of Periodic Payments. The Periodic Payments are as set forth immediately

QUALIFIED ASSIGNMENT AND RELEASE AGREEMENT
("AGREEMENT") Dated as of
Assignee hereby agrees as follows:

Annuity purchased to fund Periodic Payments on the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth herein, as security for the obligation of Assignee to make such payments.
2. Assignee hereby pledges and grants to each Claimant, unless excluded by the.
Agreement, a lien on and security interest in all of Assignee's right, title, and interest in the

under the Agreement. The Pledged Annuity secures the obligation of Assignee to make such
Periodic Payments.
3. Assignee shall have all ownership and control rights in the Pledged Annuity
(including the right to receive and retain all benefits thereunder), which are not inconsistent with
the security interest. No Claimant or Beneficiary shall have any right to anticipate, sell, assign,
pledge, encumber, or otherwise exercise any right with respect to the Pledged Annuity, as long
as Assignee has not breached its obligation to make the payments secured thereby. If such
breach occurs and is continuing, Claimant shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured
party under laws then in effect in the State of New Jersey.
4. The Pledged Annuity will bear a legend substantially as follows:
NOTICE
This Annuity Contract has been delivered to the possession of Claimant
for the sole purpose of perfecting a lien and security interest of such
person in this Contract. Claimant is not the Owner of, and has no
ownership rights in, this Contract and shall have no right to (i) accelerate,
defer, increase or decrease any payments due hereunder; (ii) anticipate,
sell or absolutely assign, by any means, regardless of form, any right to
receive payments from Assignee, both directly and through its security
interest in this Annuity Contract; or (iii) pledge, collaterally assign, grant
any security interest in, encumber, or otherwise use any right to receive
such payments and/or any security interest in this Annuity Contract as
any form of collateral.
