Your actual Policy and any endorsements are the controlling documents. You should read the Policy carefully for any variations in your state. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") nor any state securities authority has approved or disapproved of these securities, nor have they determined if this Prospectus is accurate or complete. Any representation otherwise is a criminal offense. This Prospectus does not constitute an offering in any jurisdiction where such offering may not lawfully be made.

4 [SIDEBAR:YOU CAN CONTACT US AT OUR DESIGNATED OFFICE.] CONTACTING US You can communicate all of your requests, instructions and notifications to us by contacting us in writing at our Designated Office. We may require that certain requests, instructions and notifications be made on forms that we provide. These include: changing your beneficiary; taking a Policy loan; changing your death benefit option; taking a partial withdrawal; surrendering your Policy; making transfer requests (including elections with respect to the systematic investment strategies); or changing your premium allocations. Our Designated Office is MetLife--SBR, 485-B Route One South, Suite 420, Iselin NJ 08830. We may name additional or alternate Designated Offices. If we do, we will notify you in writing. SUMMARY OF BENEFITS AND RISKS This summary gives an overview of the Policy and is qualified by the more detailed information in the balance of this Prospectus and the Policy. MetLife issues the Policies. We offer the Policies to employers, employer sponsored plans, or other organizations or individuals associated with such employers, plans or organizations. We designed the Policies for financing nonqualified deferred compensation plans, other post-employment benefits, certain employer sponsored payroll deduction programs or other purposes. POLICY BENEFITS PREMIUM PAYMENT FLEXIBILITY. The Policy allows flexibility in making premium payments. The Policy will remain in force as long as the cash surrender value is large enough to cover one monthly deduction, regardless of whether or not premium payments have been made. CASH VALUE. Your cash value in the Policy reflects your premium payments, the charges we deduct, interest we credit if you have cash value in our fixed interest account, any investment experience you have in our Separate Account, as well as your loan and withdrawal activity. TRANSFERS AND SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT STRATEGIES. You may transfer cash value among the funding options, subject to certain limits, including restrictions on "market timing" transactions (see "Cash Value, Transfers and Withdrawals"). You may also choose among four systematic investment strategies: the Equity Generator/SM/, the Equalizer/SM/, the Allocator/SM/, and the Rebalancer/SM/. SPECIFIED FACE AMOUNT OF INSURANCE. Within certain limits, you may choose your specified face amount of insurance when the Policy is issued. You may also change the amount at any time after the first Policy year, subject to our rules and procedures. DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS. Generally, you have a choice among three options. These range from an amount equal to the specified face amount to an amount equal to the specified face amount plus the policy cash value at the date of death. INCOME PLANS. The insurance proceeds can be paid under a variety of income plans that are available under the Policy. 5 SURRENDERS, PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS AND LOANS. Within certain limits, you may take partial withdrawals and loans from the Policy. You may also surrender your Policy for its cash surrender value. TAX ADVANTAGES. If you meet certain requirements, you will not pay income taxes on withdrawals or surrenders or at the Final Date of the Policy, until your cumulative withdrawn amounts exceed the cumulative premiums you have paid. The death benefit may be subject to Federal and state estate taxes, but your beneficiary will generally not be subject to income tax on the death benefit. As with any taxation matter, you should consult with and rely on the advice of your own tax advisor. TERM RIDER. This rider provides coverage on the insured to age 95. The amount of sales charge you pay will be less if coverage is obtained through this rider rather than as part of the Policy. The current charges for the cost of insurance are lower for coverage under the term rider than under the base Policy. For details, see "Optional Rider Benefits--Term Benefit." OTHER OPTIONAL RIDER BENEFITS. You may be eligible for certain other benefits provided by rider, subject to certain underwriting requirements and the payment of additional premiums. We will deduct any charges for the rider(s) (other than the charge for the interim term insurance rider) as part of the monthly deduction. RISKS OF A POLICY This Prospectus discusses the risks associated with purchasing the Policy. Other prospectuses (which are attached at the end of this Prospectus) discuss the risks associated with investment in the Fund described therein. Those prospectuses are being provided to you in addition to this Prospectus because each of the Separate Account UL investment divisions that are available to you under the Policy invests solely in a corresponding "Portfolio" of a Fund. INVESTMENT RISK. MetLife does not guarantee the investment performance of the variable investment options and you should consider your risk tolerance before selecting any of these options. You will be subject to the risk that investment performance will be unfavorable and that your cash value will decrease. In addition, we deduct Policy fees and charges from your Policy's cash value, which can significantly reduce your Policy's cash value. During times of poor investment performance, these deductions may have an even greater impact on your Policy's cash value. It is possible to lose your full investment and your Policy could terminate without value, unless you pay additional premiums. If you allocate cash value to the Fixed Account, then we credit such cash value with a declared rate of interest. You assume the risk that the rate may decrease, although it will never be lower than the guaranteed minimum annual effective rate of 4%. SURRENDER AND WITHDRAWAL RISKS. The Policies are designed to provide lifetime insurance protection. They are not offered primarily as an investment, and are not suitable as a short-term savings vehicle. You should purchase the Policy only if you have the financial ability to keep it in force for a substantial period of time. You should not purchase the Policy if you intend to surrender all or part of the Policy's cash value in the near future. 6 RISK OF POLICY TERMINATION. Your Policy may terminate without value if you have paid an insufficient amount of premiums or if the investment experience of the investment divisions is poor. If your cash surrender value is not enough to pay the monthly deduction, your Policy will terminate without value unless you make a premium payment sufficient to cover two monthly deductions within the 61-day grace period. If your Policy does terminate, your insurance coverage will terminate (although you will be given an opportunity to reinstate your coverage if you satisfy certain requirements). Lapse of a policy on which there is an outstanding loan may have adverse tax consequences. POLICY CHARGE AND EXPENSE INCREASE. We have the right to increase certain Policy charges. TAX LAW RISKS. We anticipate that the Policy should generally be deemed a life insurance contract under Federal tax law. There is less guidance, however, with respect to Policies issued on a substandard risk basis, and it is not clear whether such Policies will in all cases satisfy the applicable requirements. Assuming that a Policy qualifies as a life insurance contract for Federal income tax purposes, you should not be deemed to be in receipt of any portion of your Policy's cash value until there is an actual distribution from the Policy. Moreover, insurance proceeds payable under the Policy should be excludable from the gross income of the beneficiary. Although the beneficiary generally should not have to pay Federal income tax on the insurance proceeds, other taxes, such as estate taxes, may apply. If you pay more than a certain amount of premiums, you may cause your Policy to become a "modified endowment contract." If it does, you will pay income taxes on loans and other amounts we pay out to you (except for payment of insurance proceeds), to the extent of any gains in your Policy (which is generally the excess of cash value over the premiums paid). In this case, an additional 10% tax penalty may also apply. If the Policy is not a modified endowment contract, distributions generally will be treated first as a return of basis or investment in the contract and then as taxable income. Moreover, loans will generally not be treated as distributions. Finally, neither distributions nor loans from a Policy that is not a modified endowment contract are subject to the 10% penalty tax. If your Policy is part of an equity split dollar arrangement, there is a risk that some portion of the cash value may be taxed prior to any Policy distribution. Tax laws, regulations, and interpretations have often been changed in the past and such changes continue to be proposed. As with any taxation matter, you should consult with and rely on the advice of your own tax advisor. FEE TABLES The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning, and surrendering the Policy. The charges set forth in the first three tables may vary by group, based on anticipated variations in our costs or risks associated with the group or individuals in the group that the charge was intended to cover. Our variations in the charges will be made in accordance with our established and uniformly applied administrative procedures. Any variations in charges will be reasonable and will not be unfairly discriminatory 7 to the interests of any Policy owner. In addition to the following tables, certain charges that we don't currently impose (but which we have the right to impose on your Policy in the future) are described under "Charges and Deductions--Other Charges," further back in this Prospectus. In certain cases, we have the right to increase our charges for new Policies, as well as for Policies already outstanding. The maximum charges in such cases are shown in the far right-hand columns of each of the first three tables below. TRANSACTION FEES This table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you buy the Policy, surrender the Policy, or transfer cash value among the variable investment options or the Fixed Account.

-------- /1/ The cost of term insurance charge varies based on anticipated variations in our costs or risks associated with the group or individuals in the group that the charge was intended to cover. See "Charges and Deductions--Cost of Term Insurance" for a more detailed discussion of factors affecting this charge. You can obtain more information about the cost of insurance or other charges that would apply by contacting your insurance sales representative. If you would like, we will provide you with an illustration of the impact of these and other charges under the Policy based on various assumptions. /2/ For Policies issued on or after August 1, 2000 and prior to February 1, 2004 or in connection with employer sponsored plans that became effective within that period, the charge is currently at an effective annual rate of 0.48% of the cash value in the Separate Account. For those Policies, we intend to reduce this charge after Policy year 9 to .36% and after Policy year 20 to .30%. For policies issued prior to May 1, 1996 or in connection with employer sponsored plans that became effective prior to August 1, 2000, the charge is currently equivalent to an effective annual rate of 0.60% of the cash value in the Separate Account. For those Policies, we intend to reduce this charge to .30% for all Policy years after the ninth. /3/ We charge interest on Policy loans but credit you with interest on the amount of the cash value we hold as collateral for the loan. The loan interest spread is the excess of the interest rate we charge over the interest rate we credit. 11 /4/ The charges for the optional Interim Term Insurance Rider and the Enhanced Cash Surrender Value Rider have previously been described in the table of Transaction Fees above, since the charges for those riders are deducted from premiums. /5/ This charge varies based on individual characteristics of the insured or of individuals in the group that the charge was intended to cover, and may not be representative of the charge that you will pay. You can obtain more information about the charges that would apply by contacting your insurance sales representative. If you would like, we will provide you with an illustration of the impact of these and other charges under the Policy, based on various assumptions. /6/ We are waiving the following amounts of the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge: 0.08% for the investment division investing in the BlackRock Large-Cap Core Portfolio; and an amount equal to the underlying portfolio expenses that are in excess of 0.91% for the investment division investing in the Capital Guardian U.S. Equity Portfolio (Class A). PORTFOLIO OPERATING EXPENSES Each of the Funds pays an investment management fee to its investment manager. Each of the Funds also incurs other direct expenses (see the applicable Fund Prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information referred to therein for each Fund). You bear indirectly your proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the Portfolios of each Fund that correspond to the Separate Account investment divisions you are using. Most of the Funds offer various classes of shares, each of which has a different level of expenses, only one of which is available under a Policy. The available class of each Portfolio is specified in the expense table below and on the front cover pages of the Prospectus. The first table below shows the lowest and highest fees and expenses charged by any of the Portfolios for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

-------- (a) Net Total Annual Expenses do not reflect any voluntary waivers of fees and expenses, or any expense reductions that certain Portfolios achieved as a result of custodial fee credits or directed brokerage arrangements. (b) Other Expenses have been restated to reflect current fees, as if current fees had been in effect for the previous fiscal year. (c) MetLife Advisers, LLC has contractually agreed, for the period May 1, 2007 through April 30, 2008, to reduce the Management Fee to the annual rate of 0.325% for amounts over $1 billion but less than $2 billion. (d) MetLife Advisers, LLC has contractually agreed, for the period May 1, 2007 through April 30, 2008, to reduce the Management Fee to the annual rate of 0.345% for the first $500 million of the Portfolio's average daily net assets and 0.335% for the next $500 million. (e) MetLife Advisers, LLC has contractually agreed, for the period May 1, 2007 through April 30, 2008, to reduce the Management Fee of the Portfolio to 0.244%. (f) MetLife Advisers, LLC has contractually agreed, for the period May 1, 2007 through April 30, 2008, to reduce the Management Fee of the Portfolio by 0.05%. (g) MetLife Advisers, LLC has contractually agreed, for the period May 1, 2007 through April 30, 2008, to reduce the Management Fee of the Portfolio to 0.243%. (h) Other Expenses include 0.01% of "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses," which are fees and expenses attributable to underlying portfolios in which the Portfolio invested during the preceding fiscal year. 17 (i) The Management Fee has been restated to reflect current fees, as if current fees had been in effect for the previous fiscal year. (j) MetLife Advisers, LLC has contractually agreed, for the period May 1, 2007 through April 30, 2008, to reduce the Management Fee of the Portfolio to 0.293%. (k) Other Expenses include 0.02% of "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses," which are fees and expenses attributable to underlying portfolios in which the Portfolio invested during the preceding fiscal year. (l) MetLife Advisers, LLC has contractually agreed, for the period May 1, 2007 through April 30, 2008, to waive fees or pay all expenses (other than brokerage costs, taxes, interest and any extraordinary expenses) so as to limit net total annual operating expenses of the Portfolio to 0.10%, excluding 12b-1 fees. (m) These Portfolios are "funds of funds" that invest substantially all of their assets in other portfolios of the Met Investors Series Trust and the Metropolitan Series Fund, Inc. Because the Portfolios invest in other underlying portfolios, each Portfolio will also bear its pro rata portion of the operating expenses of the underlying portfolios in which the Portfolio invests, including the management fee. The weighted average of the total operating expenses of the underlying portfolios, after any applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as of December 31, 2006, were: 0.61% for the MetLife Conservative Allocation Portfolio, 0.65% for the MetLife Conservative to Moderate Allocation Portfolio, 0.70% for the MetLife Moderate Allocation Portfolio, 0.75% for the MetLife Moderate to Aggressive Allocation Portfolio and 0.75% for the MetLife Aggressive Allocation Portfolio. The total operating expenses of the Portfolios, including the weighted average of the total operating expenses of the underlying portfolios, before any applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as of December 31, 2006, were: 1.05% for the MetLife Conservative Allocation Portfolio, 1.02% for the MetLife Conservative to Moderate Allocation Portfolio, 1.07% for the MetLife Moderate Allocation Portfolio, 1.11% for the MetLife Moderate to Aggressive Allocation Portfolio and 1.18% for the MetLife Aggressive Allocation Portfolio. Policy Owners may be able to realize lower aggregate expenses by investing directly in the underlying portfolios instead of investing in the Portfolios. A Policy Owner who chooses to invest directly in the underlying portfolios would not, however, receive the asset allocation services provided by MetLife Advisers, LLC. (See the fund prospectus for a description of each Portfolio's target allocation.) (n) Other Expenses have been restated to reflect new custodian, fund administration and transfer agent fee schedules, as if these fee schedules had been in effect for the previous fiscal year. (o) The Management Fee has been restated to reflect an amended management fee agreement, as if the agreement had been in effect during the previous fiscal year. (p) Other Expenses have been restated to reflect the current Met Investors Series Trust fee schedule, as if that schedule had applied to the Portfolio for the entire fiscal year. (q) Other Expenses reflect the repayment of fees previously waived or expenses previously paid by the Investment Adviser, under the terms of prior expense limitation agreements, in the amount of 0.02%. (r) Pursuant to an expense limitation agreement, the Investment Adviser has agreed, for a period of one year commencing May 1, 2007, to limit its fee and to reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total operating expenses to 0.90%, excluding 12b-1 fees. Due to a brokerage commission recapture not shown in the table, actual net total annual operating expenses for the Portfolio were 1.15% for the prior fiscal year. (s) The Fund's advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement) to 0.98% of average daily net assets. The expense limitation agreement is in effect through at least April 30, 2008. Other Expenses include 0.02% of "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses," which are fees and expenses attributable to underlying portfolios in which the Portfolio invested during the preceding fiscal year. (t) The Fund's advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that 18 the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement) to 1.15% of average daily net assets. The expense limitation agreement is in effect through at least April 30, 2008. Other Expenses include 0.01% of "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses," which are fees and expenses attributable to underlying portfolios in which the Portfolio invested during the preceding fiscal year. (u) The Service Class shares are subject to an annual 12b-1 fee of not more than 0.30%. Effective May 1, 2007 through April 30, 2008, Delaware Distributors, L.P. has contracted to limit the Service Class shares 12b-1 fee to no more than 0.25% of average daily net assets. (v) Other Expenses include 0.03% of "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses," which are fees and expenses attributable to underlying portfolios in which the Portfolio invested during the preceding fiscal year. The manager has agreed in advance to reduce its fee from assets invested by the Fund in a Franklin Templeton money market fund (the acquired fund) to the extent that the Fund's fees and expenses are due to those of the acquired fund. This reduction is required by the Trust's board of trustees and an exemptive order of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). (w) MFS has agreed in writing to bear the funds' expenses, such that "Other Expenses", do not exceed 0.15% annually. This written agreement excludes management fees, distribution and service fees, taxes, extraordinary expenses, brokerage and transaction costs and investment-related expenses and will continue until at least April 30, 2008. (x) Effective August 1, 2006, MFS has agreed in writing to reduce its management fee to 0.70% on average daily net assets up to $1 billion. During the fund's most recent fiscal year, this reduction amounted to 0.02%. This written agreement will remain in effect until modified by the fund's Board of Trustees. (y) The adviser has committed through April 30, 2008 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain Net Total Annual Expenses at the amounts shown in the table. The expense information regarding the Funds was provided by those Funds. Additional information about the management fees and expenses of the Funds can be obtained in Funds' prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information. FOR INFORMATION CONCERNING COMPENSATION PAID FOR THE SALE OF THE POLICIES, SEE "SALE OF POLICIES." METLIFE Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ("MetLife") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife, Inc., a publicly traded company. Our main office is located at 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10166. MetLife has the legal obligation to pay all benefits and other amounts to which you are entitled under the terms of your Policy. THE FIXED ACCOUNT The Fixed Account is part of our general assets that are not in any legally segregated separate accounts. Amounts in the Fixed Account are credited with interest at an effective annual rate of 4%. We may also credit excess interest on such amounts. Different excess interest rates may apply to different amounts based upon when such amounts were allocated to the Fixed Account. Any partial amounts we remove from the Fixed Account (such as any portion of your Policy's monthly deduction that is allocable to the Fixed Account) will be taken from the most recently allocated amounts first. Any excess interest rate will be credited for at least 12 months before a new rate is credited. We can delay transfers, withdrawals, surrender and payment of Policy loans from the Fixed Account for up to 6 months. Since the Fixed Account is not registered under the federal securities laws, this Prospectus contains only limited information about the Fixed Account. The Policy gives you more information on the operation of the Fixed Account. 19 SEPARATE ACCOUNT UL The Separate Account receives premium payments from the Policy described in this Prospectus and other variable life insurance policies that we issue. The assets in the Separate Account legally belong to us, but they are held solely for the benefit of investors in the Separate Account and no one else, including our other creditors. Income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Separate Account are credited to the Separate Account without regard to any of our other income or capital gains and losses. We will keep an amount in the Separate Account that at least equals the value of our commitments to policy owners that are based on their investments in the Separate Account. We can also keep charges that we deduct and other excess amounts in the Separate Account or we can transfer the excess out of the Separate Account. The amount of the death benefit that exceeds the Policy's cash value is paid from our general account. Death benefit amounts paid from the general account are subject to our claims-paying ability. [SIDEBAR: EACH SEPARATE ACCOUNT INVESTMENT DIVISION INVESTS IN A CORRESPONDING PORTFOLIO OF A FUND.] The Separate Account has subdivisions, called "investment divisions." Each investment division invests its assets exclusively in shares of a corresponding Portfolio of a Fund. We can add new investment divisions to or eliminate investment divisions from the Separate Account. You can designate how you would like your net premiums and cash value to be allocated among the available investment divisions and our Fixed Account. Amounts you allocate to each investment division receive the investment experience of the investment division, and you bear this investment risk. THE FUNDS [SIDEBAR: YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, STRATEGIES, AND RISKS OF EACH PORTFOLIO WHICH ARE DESCRIBED IN THE PROSPECTUS FOR EACH FUND YOU HAVE ALSO RECEIVED.] Each of the Funds is a "series" type of mutual fund, which is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). Each Fund is divided into Portfolios, each of which represents a different class of stock in which a corresponding investment division of the Separate Account invests. You should read each Fund prospectus that you have also received. They contain information about each Fund and its Portfolios, including the investment objectives, strategies, risks and investment advisers that are associated with each Portfolio. They also contain information on our different separate accounts and those of our affiliates that invest in each Fund and the risks related thereto. Some of the Portfolios have names and investment objectives that are very similar to certain publicly available mutual funds that are managed by the same money managers. These Portfolios are not those publicly available mutual funds and will not have the same performance. Different performance will result from such factors as different implementation of investment policies, different cash flows into and out of the Portfolios, different fees and different sizes. CERTAIN PAYMENTS WE RECEIVE WITH REGARD TO THE PORTFOLIOS. An investment adviser (other than our affiliates MetLife Advisers, LLC and Met Investors Advisory LLC) or sub-adviser of a Portfolio or its affiliates, may make payments to us and/or certain of our affiliates. These payments may be used for a variety of purposes, including payment for expenses for certain administrative, marketing and support services with respect to the Policies and, in MetLife's role as intermediary, with respect to the Portfolios. We and our affiliates may profit from these payments. These payments may be derived, in whole or in part, from the advisory fee deducted from Portfolio assets. Policy owners, through their indirect investment in the Portfolios, bear 20 the costs of these advisory fees (see the Fund prospectuses for more information). The amount of the payments we receive is based on a percentage of assets of the Portfolio attributable to the Policies and certain other variable insurance products that we and our affiliates issue. These percentages differ and some advisers or sub-advisers (or other affiliates) may pay us more than others. These percentages currently range up to .50%. Additionally, an investment adviser or sub-adviser of a Portfolio or its affiliates may provide us with wholesaling services that assist in the distribution of the Policies and may pay us and/or certain of our affiliates amounts to participate in sales meetings. These amounts may be significant and may provide the adviser or sub-adviser (or their affiliate) with increased access to persons involved in the distribution of the Policies. We, and certain of our affiliated insurance companies, have joint ownership interests in our affiliated investment advisers MetLife Advisers, LLC and Met Investors Advisory LLC, which are organized as limited liability companies. Our ownership interests in MetLife Advisers, LLC and Met Investors Advisory LLC entitle us to profit distributions if the adviser makes a profit with respect to the advisory fees it receives from a Portfolio. We will benefit accordingly from assets allocated to the Portfolios to the extent they result in profits to the advisers. (See "Fee Tables--Portfolio Operating Expenses" for information on the management fees paid to the advisers and the Statement of Additional Information for the Funds for information on the management fees paid by the adviser to sub-advisers.) Certain Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. A Fund's 12b-1 Plan, if any, is described in more detail in each Fund's prospectus. (See also "Fee Tables--Portfolio Operating Expenses.") Any payments we receive pursuant to those 12b-1 Plans are paid to us or our distributor. Payments under a Fund's 12b-1 Plan decrease the Portfolio's investment return. SELECTION OF THE PORTFOLIOS. We select the Portfolios offered through this Policy based on several criteria, including asset class coverage, the strength of the adviser's or subadviser's reputation and tenure, brand recognition, performance, and the capability and qualification of each investment firm. Another factor we consider during the selection process is whether the Portfolio's adviser or subadviser is one of our affiliates or whether the Portfolio, its adviser, its subadviser(s), or an affiliate will make payments to us or our affiliates. For additional information on these arrangements, see "Certain Payments We Receive with Regard to the Portfolios" above. In this regard, the profit distributions we receive from our affiliated investment advisers are a component of the total revenue that we consider in configuring the features and investment choices available in the variable insurance products that we and our affiliated insurance companies issue. Since we and our affiliated insurance companies may benefit more from the allocation of assets to Portfolios advised by our affiliates than those that are not, we may be more inclined to offer Portfolios advised by our affiliates in the variable insurance products we issue. In some cases, we may include Portfolios based on recommendations made by selling firms through which the Policy is sold. We review the Portfolios periodically and may remove a Portfolio or limit its availability to new premium payments or transfers of cash value if we determine that the Portfolio no longer meets one or more of the selection criteria, and/or if the Portfolio has not attracted significant allocations from owners. 21 WE DO NOT PROVIDE INVESTMENT ADVICE AND DO NOT RECOMMEND OR ENDORSE ANY PARTICULAR PORTFOLIO. YOU BEAR THE RISK OF ANY DECLINE IN THE CASH VALUE OF YOUR POLICY RESULTING FROM THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PORTFOLIOS YOU HAVE CHOSEN. As of the end of each Valuation Period (see "Valuation Period" description below in "Other Policy Provisions--When Your Requests Become Effective"), we purchase and redeem Fund shares for the Separate Account at their net asset value without any sales or redemption charges. These purchases and redemptions reflect the amount of any of the following transactions that take effect at the end of the Valuation Period: . The allocation of net premiums to the Separate Account. . Dividends and distributions on Fund shares, which are reinvested as of the dates paid (which reduces the value of each share of the Fund and increases the number of Fund shares outstanding, but has no effect on the cash value in the Separate Account). .

-------- /1/ An investment in the BlackRock Money Market Portfolio is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Portfolio seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $100 per share, it is possible to lose money by 26 investing in the Portfolio. During extended periods of low interest rates, the yields of the Division investing in the Money Market Portfolio may become extremely low and possibly negative. /2/ Davis Selected Advisers, L.P. may also delegate any of its responsibilities to Davis Selected Advisers-NY, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary. /3/ Prior to April 30, 2007, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company was the sub-adviser to this Portfolio. THE PORTFOLIO SHARE CLASSES THAT WE OFFER The Funds offer various classes of shares, each of which has a different level of expenses. The Fund prospectuses may provide information for share classes or Portfolios that are not available through the Policy. When you consult the Fund prospectus for a Portfolio, you should be careful to refer only to the information regarding the Portfolio and class of shares that is available through the Policy. The classes of shares that are available under the Policy are indicated in the expense table on pages 12 to 17 and on the front cover pages of the Prospectus. SUBSTITUTION OF PORTFOLIOS If investment in the Portfolios or a particular Portfolio is no longer possible, in our judgment becomes inappropriate for the purposes of the Policies, or for any other reason in our sole discretion, we may substitute another portfolio without your consent. The substituted Portfolio may have different fees and expenses. Substitution may be made with respect to existing investments or the investment of future premium payments, or both. However, we will not make such substitution without any necessary approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Furthermore, we may make available or close investment divisions to allocation of premium payments or cash value, or both, for some or all classes of Policies, at any time in our sole discretion. VOTING RIGHTS [SIDEBAR: YOU CAN GIVE US VOTING INSTRUCTIONS ON SHARES OF EACH PORTFOLIO OF A FUND THAT ARE ATTRIBUTED TO YOUR POLICY.] The Funds have shareholder meetings from time to time to, for example, elect directors and approve some changes in investment management arrangements. We will vote the shares of each Portfolio that are attributed to your Policy based on your instructions. We will vote all shares in proportion to the instructions received. If we do not receive your instructions we will vote your shares in the same proportion as represented by the votes received from other owners. The effect of this proportional voting is that a small number of owners may control the outcome of a vote. Should we determine that the 1940 Act no longer requires us to do this, we may decide to vote Fund shares in our own right, without input from you or any other owners of variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts that participate in a Fund. ISSUING A POLICY If you want to own a Policy, then you must complete an application, which must be received by the Designated Office. We reserve the right to reject an application for any reason permitted by law, and our acceptance of an application is subject to our insurance underwriting rules. We offer other variable life insurance policies that have different death benefits, policy features, Portfolio selections, and optional programs. However, these other policies also have different charges that would affect your performance and cash values. To obtain more information about these other policies, contact our Designated Office or your sales representative. 27 There are three types of underwriting available under the Policy. We decide which type to use based on the total number of eligible possible insureds within the eligible group for whom a Policy could be purchased and the percentage of those insureds for whom a Policy is actually purchased. The three types of underwriting are: GUARANTEED ISSUE--requires the least evidence of insurability and rating classification SIMPLIFIED UNDERWRITING--requires more evidence of insurability and rating classification FULL UNDERWRITING--requires the most evidence of insurability and rating classification An insured who is a standard risk under Simplified Underwriting or Guaranteed Issue may have a higher cost of term insurance rate than would apply to the same insured under Full Underwriting. Generally, we will issue a Policy only for insureds that are age 70 or less (although we may decide to permit an insured that is older) that have provided evidence of insurability that we find acceptable. An "insured" is the person upon whose life we issue the Policy. For the purpose of computing the insured's age under the Policy, we start with the insured's age on the Date of Policy which is set forth in the Policy. Age under the Policy at any other time is then computed using that issue age and adding the number of full Policy years completed. The Date of Policy is usually the date the Policy application is approved and premiums are accepted. We use the Date of Policy to calculate the Policy years (and Policy months and monthly anniversaries). To preserve a younger age for the insured, we may permit a Date of Policy that is earlier than the date the application is approved if there have been no material misrepresentations in the application. You may request that your Date of Policy be the same date the planned periodic premium is received. In these cases, you would incur a charge for insurance protection before insurance coverage starts. Insurance coverage under the Policy will generally begin at the time the application is approved. For coverage to be effective, the insured's health on the date of such approval must be the same as stated in the application and, in most states, we can require that the insured not have sought medical advice or treatment between the date of the application and the date of approval. [SIDEBAR: YOU CAN MAKE VOLUNTARY PLANNED PERIODIC PREMIUM PAYMENTS AND UNSCHEDULED PREMIUM PAYMENTS.] PAYMENT AND ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS The payment of a given premium won't necessarily guarantee that your Policy will remain in force. Rather, this depends on your Policy's cash surrender value. PAYING PREMIUMS We accept premium payments made by check or cashier's check. We do not accept cash, money orders or traveler's checks. You can make premium payments, subject to certain limitations discussed below, through the: VOLUNTARY PLANNED PERIODIC PREMIUM SCHEDULE: You choose the schedule on your application. The schedule sets forth the amount of premiums, fixed payment intervals and the period of time that you intend to pay premiums. The schedule can be: (a) annual; (b) semi-annual; or (c) through 28 another method to which we agree. After payment of the first planned periodic premium, you do not have to pay premiums in accordance with your voluntary planned period premium schedule. UNSCHEDULED PREMIUM PAYMENT OPTION: You also can make other premium payments at any time. MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM PREMIUM PAYMENTS . The first premium may not be less than the planned premium. . After the first Policy year, your voluntary planned periodic payments must be at least $100, whether on an annual or semi-annual basis. . Unscheduled premium payments must be at least $100 each. We may change this minimum amount on 90 days' notice to you. . You may not pay premiums that exceed tax law premium limitations for life insurance policies. We will return any amounts that exceed these limits, except that we will keep any amounts that are required to keep the Policy from terminating. We will let you make premium payments that would turn your Policy into a modified endowment contract, but we will tell you of this status in your annual statement, and if possible, we will tell you how to reverse the status. ("See Tax Matters--Modified Endowment Contracts.") . We reserve the right not to sell a Policy to any group or individual associated with such group if the total amount of annual premium that is expected to be paid in connection with all Policies sold to the group or individuals associated with such group is less than $500,000. . We may require evidence of insurability for premium payments that cause the minimum death benefit to exceed the death benefit then in effect under the death benefit option chosen. ALLOCATING NET PREMIUMS [SIDEBAR: NET PREMIUMS ARE YOUR PREMIUMS MINUS THE CHARGES DEDUCTED FROM YOUR PREMIUMS.] Your allocations of net premiums to the Fixed Account are effective as of the Investment Start Date. See "Investment Start Date" description below in "Other Policy Provisions--When Your Requests Become Effective." Your allocations of net premiums to the investment divisions of the Separate Account are effective as of the end of the free look period. See "Other Policy Provisions--Free Look Period." During the free look period, we allocate the net premium payments you allocated to the investment divisions to the BlackRock Money Market investment division. At the end of the free look period, we will allocate your cash value in that investment division among all the Separate Account investment divisions according to your net premium allocation instructions. For policies issued in California, we allocate net premiums to the investment divisions of the Separate Account as of the Investment Start Date. If you are age 60 or older, and you allocate 100% of your initial net premium to the BlackRock Money Market investment division in order to receive a refund of premiums should you cancel the Policy during the free look period, we will not automatically transfer your cash value or reallocate your future premiums once the free look period has ended. You must contact us to request a transfer or reallocation. You can instruct us to allocate your net premiums among the Fixed Account and the investment divisions. The percentage of your net premium allocation into each of these investment options must be in whole numbers. You can 29 change your allocations (effective after the end of the free look period) at any time by giving us written notification at our Designated Office or in any other manner that we permit. If you have cash value of at least $60,000,000 in the Fixed Account for all Policies you own, we will have to give prior approval to any allocation of net premium or transfer of cash value to the Fixed Account. INSURANCE PROCEEDS If the Policy is in force, we will pay your beneficiary the insurance proceeds as of the end of the Valuation Period that includes the insured's date of death. We will pay this amount after we receive documents that we request as due proof of the insured's death. The beneficiary can receive the death benefit in a single sum or under an income plan described below. You may make this choice during the insured's lifetime. If no selection is made, we will place the amount in an account to which we will credit interest, and the beneficiary will have immediate access to all or part of that amount. This account is part of our general account. It is not a bank account and it is not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency. As part of our general account, it is subject to the claims of our creditors. We receive a benefit from all amounts left in this account. The beneficiary has one year from the date the insurance proceeds are paid to change the selection from a single sum payment to an income plan, as long as we have made no payments from the interest-bearing account. If the terms of the income plan permit the beneficiary to withdraw the entire amount from the plan, the beneficiary can also name contingent beneficiaries. The insurance proceeds equal: . The death benefit under the death benefit option or minimum death benefit that is in effect on the date of death; plus . Any additional insurance proceeds provided by rider; minus . Any unpaid Policy loans and accrued interest thereon, and any due and unpaid charges accruing during a grace period. DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS [SIDEBAR: THE POLICY GENERALLY OFFERS A CHOICE OF THREE DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS.] You can choose among three options. You select which option you want in the Policy application. The three options are: . Option A: The death benefit is a level amount and equals the specified face amount of the Policy. . Option B: The death benefit varies and equals the specified face amount of the Policy plus the cash value on the date of death. . Option C: The death benefit varies and equals the specified face amount of the Policy plus the amount by which the Policy premiums paid exceed withdrawals made. There are issues that you should consider in choosing your death benefit option. For example, under Options B and C, the cash value or other amounts are added to the specified face amount. Therefore, the death benefit will generally be greater under these options than under Option A, for Policies with the same specified face amount and premium payments. By the same token, the cost of insurance will generally be greater under Options B and C than under Option A. 30 [SIDEBAR: YOU CAN GENERALLY CHANGE YOUR DEATH BENEFIT OPTION.] You can change your death benefit option after the first Policy year, provided that: . Your cash surrender value after the change would be enough to pay at least two monthly deductions. . The specified face amount continues to be no less than the minimum we allow after a decrease. . The total premiums you have paid do not exceed the then current maximum premium limitations permitted under Internal Revenue Service rules. . You provide evidence satisfactory to us of the insured's insurability, as we may require. Any change will be effective on the monthly anniversary on or immediately following the Date of Receipt of the request (or following the date we approve it if we require evidence of insurability). A change in death benefit option will cause us to automatically increase or decrease your specified face amount so that the amount of the death benefit is not changed on the effective date of the new death benefit option. Before you change your death benefit option you should consider the following: . If the term insurance portion of your death benefit changes, as it may with a change from Option A to B or C and vice versa, the term insurance charge will also change. This will affect your cash value and, in some cases, the death benefit levels. . If your specified face amount changes because of the change in death benefit option, consider also the issues presented by changing your specified face amount that are described under "Specified Face Amount," below. These issues include the possibility that your Policy would become a modified endowment contract; that you would receive a taxable distribution; and that the maximum premium amounts that you can pay would change. MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT In no event will the Policy death benefit (plus the proceeds under any term rider on the insured's life) be lower than the minimum amount required to maintain the Policy as life insurance under the federal income tax laws as in effect on the date your Policy is issued. We determine this minimum by applying either the: I. Cash Value Accumulation Test or II. Guideline Premium/Cash Value Corridor Test. You choose the Cash Value Accumulation Test or the Guideline Premium/Cash Value Corridor Test before we issue your Policy, and the election cannot later be changed. Under the Cash Value Accumulation Test, your death benefit is never less than the amount of your Policy's cash value at the insured's date of death, multiplied by a factor set forth in your Policy. This factor varies depending upon the insured's age at the date of death, and it declines as the insured grows older. Under the Guideline Premium/Cash Value Corridor Test, there is a very similar minimum death benefit based on your Policy's cash value at the date of death. However, the factors set forth in your Policy are higher for the Guideline Premium/Cash Value Corridor Test (which results in a higher minimum death benefit, assuming the same cash value). Also, there are firm limits on the 31 amount of premiums you can pay for the amount of coverage you have in force under the Guideline Premium/Cash Value Corridor Test, while the tax law imposes no such firm limits under the Cash Value Accumulation Test. Before choosing between these two Tests you should consider the following: . The Cash Value Accumulation Test may allow you to pay a greater amount in premiums for the same amount of death benefit under federal income tax laws and still qualify as life insurance. This is the case because the Policy will qualify as life insurance even though the Policy owner is paying a higher level of premium than allowed under the Guideline Premium/Cash Value Accumulation Test. However, the death benefit under the Cash Value Accumulation Test (and thus the monthly cost of term insurance) could be higher. You should ask for an illustration comparing results under both tests. We reserve the right to return any premium to the extent it would cause the death benefit to increase above certain limits. . Increases in death benefits by operation of the Cash Value Accumulation Test will result in a higher monthly cost of term insurance. Such increases can also occur under the Guideline Premium/Cash Value Corridor Test, although this is less likely. . Any advantage of the Cash Value Accumulation Test may be eliminated if premium payments exceed the 7-pay test limit. The 7-pay test sets a limit on the amount of premiums which may be paid under a policy during the 7-pay testing period (usually the first 7 Policy years after issue or after a material modification of the Policy) without incurring possible adverse tax consequences. If premiums paid exceed such limit during any 7-pay testing period, any partial withdrawals, Policy loan and other distributions may be subject to adverse federal income tax consequences. (See "Federal Tax Matters--Modified Endowment Contracts" below.) SPECIFIED FACE AMOUNT CHOOSING YOUR INITIAL SPECIFIED FACE AMOUNT The specified face amount is the basic amount of insurance specified in your Policy. The Minimum Initial Specified Face amount is the smallest amount of specified face amount for which a Policy may be issued. Currently this amount is $100,000. If the term insurance rider is purchased, the specified face amount and term rider amount are combined to determine the Minimum Initial Specified Face Amount. You should consider whether to take all of your coverage as specified face amount or whether to take some coverage, if available, under our term insurance benefit. The term insurance benefit provides coverage on the insured to age 95. You may purchase this rider, if available, only at the time of Policy issue. By electing to take part of your coverage under the term insurance rider, you can reduce the amount of sales charges and current cost of insurance charges that you otherwise would pay. For details, see "Optional Rider Benefits--Term Benefit." [SIDEMARK: YOU CAN GENERALLY INCREASE OR DECREASE YOUR POLICY'S SPECIFIED FACE AMOUNT.] CHANGING YOUR SPECIFIED FACE AMOUNT Generally, you may change your specified face amount at any time after the first Policy year subject to certain criteria specified below. Any change will be effective on: the monthly anniversary on or next following the (a) Date of Receipt of your request; or (b) if we require evidence of insurability, the date we approve your request. The Specified Face Amount of insurance may not be reduced to less than $100,000 during the first five Policy years or to less than $50,000 after the fifth Policy year. These minimums also apply to decreases that result from partial 32 withdrawals or changes in death benefit options. If there have been previous specified face amount increases, any decreases in specified face amount will be made in the following order: (i) the specified face amount provided by the most recent increase; (ii) the next most recent increases successively; and (iii) the initial specified face amount. You may increase the specified face amount only if the cash surrender value after the change is large enough to cover at least two monthly deductions based on your most recent cost of term insurance charge. Any increase may require that we receive additional evidence of insurability that is satisfactory to us. We may also impose a one-time underwriting charge. Before you change your specified face amount you should consider the following: . The term insurance portion of your death benefit will change and so will the term insurance charge. This will affect the insurance charges, cash value and, in some cases, death benefit levels. . Reducing your specified face amount may result in our returning an amount to you which, if it occurs during the first 15 Policy years, could then be taxed on an income first basis. . The amount of additional premiums that the tax laws permit you to pay into your Policy may increase or decrease. The additional amount you can pay without causing your Policy to be a modified endowment contract for tax purposes may also increase or decrease. (See "Tax Matters--Modified Endowment Contracts.") . In some circumstances, the Policy could become a modified endowment contract. . For Policies issued on or after May 1, 1996 in connection with other than certain employer sponsored plans that became effective prior to August 1, 2000, the sales charge and the administration charge may change. This is because an increase or decrease in the specified face amount will result in an increase or decrease in the annual target premium on which these charges are based. INCOME PLANS [SIDEBAR: GENERALLY YOU CAN RECEIVE THE POLICY'S INSURANCE PROCEEDS, AMOUNTS PAYABLE AT THE FINAL DATE OR AMOUNTS PAID UPON SURRENDER UNDER AN INCOME PLAN INSTEAD OF IN A LUMP SUM.] The insurance proceeds can be paid under a variety of income plans that are available under the Policy. Generally, we currently make the following income plans available: . Interest income . Installment Income for a Stated Period . Installment Income of a Stated Amount . Single Life Income--Guaranteed Payment Period . Single Life Income--Guaranteed Return . Joint and Survivor Life Income Before you choose an income plan you should consider: . The tax consequences associated with the Policy proceeds, which can vary considerably, depending on whether a plan is chosen. You or your beneficiary should consult with a qualified tax adviser about tax consequences. . That your Policy will terminate at the time you commence an income plan and you will receive a new contract, which describes the terms of the income plan. You should carefully review the terms of the new contract, because it contains important information about the terms and conditions of the income plan. . That the rates of return we credit under these plans are not based on the investment performance of any of the Portfolios. 33 CASH VALUE, TRANSFERS AND WITHDRAWALS CASH VALUE [SIDEBAR: YOUR POLICY IS DESIGNED TO ALLOW YOU TO ACCUMULATE CASH VALUE.] Your Policy's cash value equals: . The Fixed Account cash value, plus . The Policy Loan Account cash value, plus . The Separate Account cash value. Your Policy's cash surrender value equals your cash value minus any outstanding Policy loans (plus any accrued and unpaid loan interest). On your Investment Start Date, the Policy's cash value in an investment division will equal the portion of any net premium allocated to the investment division, reduced by the portion of any monthly deductions allocated to the Policy's cash value in that investment division. Thereafter, at the end of each Valuation Period the cash value in an investment division will equal: . The cash value in the investment division at the beginning of the Valuation Period; plus . All net premiums, loan repayments and cash value transfers into the investment division during the Valuation Period; minus . All partial cash withdrawals, loans and cash value transfers out of the investment division during the Valuation Period; minus . The portion of any charges and deductions allocated to the cash value in the investment division during the Valuation Period; plus . The net investment return for the Valuation Period on the amount of cash value in the investment division at the beginning of the Valuation Period. The net investment return currently equals the rate of increase or decrease in the net asset value per share of the underlying Fund Portfolio over the Valuation Period, adjusted upward to take appropriate account of any dividends and other distributions paid by the Portfolio during the period. CASH VALUE TRANSFERS [SIDEBAR: YOU CAN TRANSFER YOUR CASH VALUE AMONG THE INVESTMENT DIVISIONS AND THE FIXED ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME BEGINNING AFTER THE END OF THE FREE LOOK PERIOD.] The minimum amount you may transfer is $50 or, if less, the total amount in an investment option. You may make transfers at any time. The maximum amount that you may transfer or withdraw from the Fixed Account in any Policy year is the greater of $50 and 25% of the largest amount in the Fixed Account over the last four Policy years. This limit does not apply to a full surrender, any loans taken, or any transfers under a systematic investment strategy. We may also limit the number of investment options to which you may transfer cash value, and, under certain conditions, we may have to approve transfers to the Fixed Account. (See "Payment and Allocation of Premiums--Allocating Net Premiums.") MARKET TIMING: Frequent requests from Policy owners to transfer cash value may dilute the value of a Portfolio's shares if the frequent trading involves an attempt to take advantage of pricing inefficiencies created by a lag between a change in the value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the reflection of that change in the Portfolio's share price ("arbitrage trading"). Regardless of the existence of pricing inefficiencies, frequent transfers may also increase brokerage and administrative costs of the underlying Portfolios and may disrupt portfolio management strategy, requiring a Portfolio to 34 maintain a high cash position and possibly resulting in lost investment opportunities and forced liquidations ("disruptive trading"). Accordingly, arbitrage trading and disruptive trading activities (referred to collectively as "market timing") may adversely affect the long-term performance of the Portfolios, which may in turn adversely affect Policy owners and other persons who may have an interest in the Policies (E.G., beneficiaries). We have policies and procedures that attempt to detect and deter frequent transfers in situations where we determine there is a potential for arbitrage trading. Currently, we believe that such situations may be presented in the international, small-cap, and high-yield Portfolios (I.E., BlackRock Strategic Value, FI International Stock, Loomis Sayles Small Cap, Morgan Stanley EAFE Index, Oppenheimer Global Equity, Russell 2000 Index, T. Rowe Price Small Cap Growth, Lord Abbett Bond Debenture, Met/AIM Small Cap Growth, MFS Research International, Third Avenue Small Cap Value, AIM V.I. Global Real Estate, AllianceBernstein Global Technology, Delaware VIP Small Cap Value, Dreyfus VIF International Value, Franklin Templeton Mutual Discovery Securities, Templeton Foreign Securities, MFS Global Equity, MFS High Income, MFS New Discovery and Goldman Sachs Structured Small Cap Equity) and we monitor transfer activity in those Funds (the "Monitored Portfolios"). We employ various means to monitor transfer activity, such as examining the frequency and size of transfers into and out of the Monitored Portfolios within given periods of time. For example, we currently monitor transfer activity to determine if, for each category of international, small-cap, and high-yield Portfolios, in a 12-month period there were, (1) six or more transfers involving the given category; (2) cumulative gross transfers involving the given category that exceed the current cash value; and (3) two or more "round-trips" involving any Monitored Portfolio in the given category. A round-trip generally is defined as a transfer in followed by a transfer out within the next seven calendar days or a transfer out followed by a transfer in within the next seven calendar days, in either case subject to certain other criteria. We do not believe that other Portfolios present a significant opportunity to engage in arbitrage trading and therefore do not monitor transfer activity in those Portfolios. We may change the Monitored Portfolios at any time without notice in our sole discretion. In addition to monitoring transfer activity in certain Portfolios, we rely on the underlying Funds to bring any potential disruptive trading activity they identify to our attention for investigation on a case-by-case basis. We will also investigate any other harmful transfer activity that we identify from time to time. We may revise these policies and procedures in our sole discretion at any time without prior notice. Our policies and procedures may result in transfer restrictions being applied to deter market timing. Currently, when we detect transfer activity in the Monitored Portfolios that exceeds our current transfer limits, or other transfer activity that we believe may be harmful to other Policy owners or other persons who have an interest in the Policies, we require all future transfer requests to or from any Monitored Portfolios or other identified portfolios under that Policy to be submitted with an original signature. Transfers made under one of the systematic investment strategies described below are not treated as transfers when we evaluate trading patterns for market timing. 35 The detection and deterrence of harmful transfer activity involves judgments that are inherently subjective, such as the decision to monitor only those Portfolios that we believe are susceptible to arbitrage trading, or the determination of the transfer limits. Our ability to detect and/or restrict such transfer activity may be limited by operational and technological systems, as well as our ability to predict strategies employed by Policy owners to avoid such detection. Our ability to restrict such transfer activity may also be limited by provisions of the Policy. Accordingly, there is no assurance that we will prevent all transfer activity that may adversely affect Policy owners and other persons with interests in the Policies. We do not accommodate market timing in any Portfolios and there are no arrangements in place to permit any Policy owner to engage in market timing; we apply our policies and procedures without exception, waiver, or special arrangement. The Portfolios may have adopted their own policies and procedures with respect to frequent purchases and redemptions of their respective shares, and we reserve the right to enforce these policies and procedures. For example, Portfolios may assess a redemption fee (which we reserve the right to collect) on shares held for a relatively short period. The prospectuses for the Portfolios describe any such policies and procedures, which may be more or less restrictive than the policies and procedures we have adopted. Although we may not have the contractual authority or the operational capacity to apply the frequent trading policies and procedures of the Portfolios, we have entered into a written agreement, as required by SEC regulation, with each Portfolio or its principal underwriter that obligates us to provide to the Portfolio promptly upon request certain information about the trading activity of individual Policy owners, and to execute instructions from the Portfolio to restrict or prohibit further purchases or transfers by specific Policy owners who violate the frequent trading policies established by the Portfolio. In addition, Policy owners and other persons with interests in the Policies should be aware that the purchase and redemption orders received by the Portfolios generally are "omnibus" orders from intermediaries such as retirement plans or separate accounts funding variable insurance contracts. The omnibus orders reflect the aggregation and netting of multiple orders from individual owners of variable insurance policies and/or individual retirement plan participants. The omnibus nature of these orders may limit the Portfolios in their ability to apply their frequent trading policies and procedures. In addition, the other insurance companies and/or retirement plans may have different policies and procedures or may not have any such policies and procedures because of contractual limitations. For these reasons, we cannot guarantee that the Portfolios (and thus Policy owners) will not be harmed by transfer activity relating to the other insurance companies and/or retirement plans that may invest in the Portfolios. If a Portfolio believes that an omnibus order reflects one or more transfer requests from Policy owners engaged in disruptive trading activity, the Portfolio may reject the entire omnibus order. In accordance with applicable law, we reserve the right to modify or terminate the transfer privilege at any time. We also reserve the right to defer or restrict the transfer privilege at any time that we are unable to purchase or redeem shares of any of the Portfolios, including any refusal or restriction on purchases or redemptions of their shares as a result of their own policies and procedures on market timing activities (even if an entire omnibus order is rejected due to the market timing activity of a single Policy owner). You should read the Fund prospectuses for more details. 36 SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT STRATEGIES: You can choose one of four currently available strategies described below. You can also change or cancel your choice at any time. . EQUITY GENERATOR/ SM/. Allows you to transfer the interest earned on amounts in the Fixed Account in any Policy month equal to at least $20 to the MetLife Stock Index investment division or the BlackRock Aggressive Growth investment division. The transfer will be made at the beginning of the Policy month following the Policy month in which the interest was earned. . EQUALIZER/ SM/. Allows you to periodically equalize amounts in your Fixed Account and either the MetLife Stock Index investment division or the BlackRock Aggressive Growth investment division. We currently make equalization each quarter. We will terminate this strategy if you make a transfer out of either of the investment divisions or the Fixed Account. You may then reelect the Equalizer on your next Policy anniversary. . REBALANCER/ SM/. Allows you to periodically redistribute amounts in the Fixed Account and investment divisions in the same proportion that the net premiums are then being allocated. We currently make the redistribution at the beginning of each quarter. . ALLOCATOR/ SM/. Allows you to systematically transfer money from the BlackRock Money Market investment division to the Fixed Account and/or any investment division(s). When you elect the Allocator, you must have enough cash value in the BlackRock Money Market investment division to enable the election to be in effect for three months. The election can be to transfer each month: . A specific amount, until the cash value in the BlackRock Money Market investment division is exhausted. . A specific amount for a specific number of months. . Amounts in equal installments until the total amount you have requested has been transferred. These transfer privileges allow you to take advantage of investment fluctuations, but none assures a profit nor protects against a loss in declining markets. Because the Allocator involves continuous investment in securities regardless of the price levels of such securities, you should consider your financial ability to continue purchases through periods of fluctuating price levels. TRANSFERS BY TELEPHONE: Subject to our market timing procedures, we may, if permitted by state law, decide in the future to allow you to make transfer requests, changes to Systematic Investment Strategies and changes to allocations of future net premium by phone. We may also allow you to authorize your sales representative to make such requests. The following procedures would apply: . We must have received your authorization in writing satisfactory to us, to act on instructions from any person that claims to be you or your sales representative, as applicable, as long as that person follows our procedures. . We will institute reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions we receive are genuine. Our procedures will include receiving from the caller your personalized data. Any telephone instructions that we reasonably believe to be genuine are your responsibility, including losses arising from such instructions. Because telephone transactions may be available to anyone who provides certain information about you and your Policy, you should protect that information. We may not be able to verify that you are the person providing telephone instructions, or that you have authorized any such person to act for you. . All telephone calls will be recorded. . You will receive a written confirmation of any transaction. 37 . Neither the Separate Account nor we will be liable for any loss, expense or cost arising out of a telephone request if we reasonably believed the request to be genuine. Telephone, facsimile, and computer systems may not always be available. Any telephone, facsimile, or computer system, whether it is yours, your service provider's, your sales representative's, or ours, can experience outages or slowdowns for a variety of reasons. These outages or slowdowns may delay or prevent our processing of your request. Although we have taken precautions to help our systems handle heavy use, we cannot promise complete reliability under all circumstances. If you are experiencing problems, you should make your request by writing to our Designated Office. SURRENDER AND WITHDRAWAL PRIVILEGES [SIDEBAR: YOU CAN SURRENDER YOUR POLICY FOR ITS CASH SURRENDER VALUE.] We may ask you to return the Policy before we honor your request to surrender your Policy. You can choose to have the proceeds paid in a single sum, or under an income plan. If the insured dies after you surrender the Policy but before the end of the Policy month in which you surrendered the Policy, we will pay your beneficiary an amount equal to the difference between the Policy's death benefit and its cash value, computed as of the surrender date. You can make partial withdrawals if: . the withdrawal would not result in the cash surrender value being less than sufficient to pay 2 monthly deductions; . the withdrawal is at least $250; . the withdrawal would not result in total premiums paid exceeding any then current maximum premium limitation determined by Internal Revenue Code rules; and . the withdrawal would not result in your specified face amount falling below the minimum allowable amount after a decrease, as described under "Insurance Proceeds--Specified Amount--Changing Your Specified Face Amount," above. If you make a request for a partial withdrawal that is not permitted, we will tell you and you may then ask for a smaller withdrawal or surrender the Policy. We will deduct your withdrawal from the Fixed Account and the investment divisions in the same proportion that the Policy's cash value in each such option bears to the total cash value of the Policy in the Fixed Account and the investment divisions. We may withhold payment of surrender, withdrawal or loan proceeds if any portion of those proceeds would be derived from a check that has not yet cleared (I.E., that could still be dishonored by your banking institution). We may use telephone, fax, Internet or other means of communications to verify that payment from the check has been or will be collected. We will not delay payment longer than necessary for us to verify that payment has been or will be collected. You may avoid the possibility of delay in the disbursement of proceeds coming from a check that has not yet cleared by providing us with a certified check. Before surrendering your Policy or requesting a partial withdrawal, you should consider the following: . Amounts received may be taxable as income and, if your Policy is a modified endowment contract, subject to certain tax penalties. (See "Tax Matters--Modified Endowment Contracts.") . Your Policy could become a modified endowment contract. 38 . For partial withdrawals, your death benefit will decrease, generally by the amount of the withdrawal. . For partial withdrawals, your specified face amount may also decrease. For Option A Policies, your specified face amount will decrease by the amount of the withdrawal. For Option B Policies, a withdrawal will not decrease the specified face amount. For Option C Policies, your specified face amount will decrease by the amount, if any, by which cumulative withdrawals exceed cumulative premiums paid. In some cases you may be better off taking a Policy loan, rather than a partial withdrawal. BENEFIT AT FINAL DATE The Final Date is the Policy anniversary on which the insured is Age 95. Subject to certain conditions, we will allow you to extend that date where permitted by state law. If the insured is living on the Final Date, we will pay you the cash surrender value of the Policy. You can receive the cash surrender value in a single sum, in an account that earns interest, or under an available income plan. LOAN PRIVILEGES [SIDEBAR: YOU CAN BORROW FROM US AND USE YOUR POLICY AS SECURITY FOR THE LOAN.] The amount of each loan must be: . At least $250. . No more than the greater of the cash surrender value less two monthly deductions and 75% of the cash surrender value (unless state law requires a different percentage to be applied, as set forth in your Policy) when added to all other outstanding Policy loans. As of your loan request's Date of Receipt, we will: . Remove an amount equal to the loan from your cash value in the Fixed Account and each investment division of the Separate Account in the same proportion as the Policy's cash value in each such option bears to the total cash value of the Policy in the Fixed Account and the investment divisions. . Transfer such cash value to the Policy loan account, where it will be credited with interest at a rate equal to the loan rate charged less a percentage charge, based on expenses associated with Policy loans, determined by us. This percentage charge will not exceed 2%, and the minimum rate we will credit to the Policy Loan Account will be 4% per year. At least once a year, we will transfer any interest earned in your Policy loan account to the Fixed Account and the investment divisions, according to the way that we then allocate your net premiums. . Charge you interest, which will accrue daily. We will tell you the initial interest rate that applies to your loan and mail you advance notices of any increases applicable to existing loans. The interest rate charged for a Policy year will never be more than the maximum allowed by law and will generally be the greater of: . The published monthly average for the calendar month ending two months before the start of such year; and . The guaranteed rate used to credit interest to the cash value allocated to the Fixed Account for the Policy, plus no more than 1%. The published monthly average means (a) Moody's Corporate Bond Yield Average Monthly Average Corporates, as published by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or any successor service; or (b) If the Moody's average is not 39 published, a substantially similar average established by regulation issued by the insurance supervisory official of the state in which your Policy is delivered. Your interest payments are due at the end of each Policy year and if you don't pay the amount within 31 days after it is due, we will treat it as a new Policy loan, which will be taken from the Fixed Account and the investment divisions by the same method as other loans. Repaying your loans (plus accrued interest) is done by sending in payments at least equal to $25. You should designate whether a payment is intended as a loan repayment or a premium payment, since we will treat any payment for which no designation is made as a premium payment. We will allocate your repayment to the Fixed Account and the investment divisions, in the same proportion that net premiums are then allocated, except that amounts borrowed from the Fixed Account will be repaid to the Fixed Account first. Before taking a Policy loan you should consider the following: . Interest payments on loans are generally not deductible for tax purposes. . Under certain situations, Policy loans could be considered taxable distributions. . Amounts held in your Policy loan account do not participate in the investment experience of the investment divisions or receive the interest rate credited to the Fixed Account, either of which may be higher than the interest rate credited on the amount you borrow. . If you surrender your Policy or if we terminate your Policy, or at the Final Date, any outstanding loan amounts (plus accrued interest) will be taxed as a distribution. (See "Federal Tax Matters--Loans" below.) . A Policy loan increases the chances of our terminating your Policy due to insufficient cash value. We will terminate your Policy with no value if: (a) on a monthly anniversary your loans (plus accrued interest) exceed your cash value minus the monthly deduction; and (b) we tell you of the insufficiency and you do not make a sufficient payment within 61 days of the monthly anniversary. . Your Policy's death proceeds will be reduced by any unpaid loan (plus any accrued and unpaid loan interest). OPTIONAL RIDER BENEFITS You may be eligible for certain benefits provided by rider, subject to certain underwriting requirements and the payment of additional premiums. We will deduct any charges for the rider(s) (other than the charge for the interim term insurance rider) as part of the monthly deduction. Generally, we currently make the following benefits available by rider: . Disability Waiver of . Interim Term Insurance Monthly Deduction Benefit Benefit/(1)/ ----------------------------------------------------- . Accidental Death . Term Insurance Benefit/(5)/ Benefit/(3)/ ----------------------------------------------------- . Accelerated Death . Enhanced Cash Benefit/(2)/ Surrender Value Rider/(4)/ ----------------------------------------------------- -------- /1/ An increase in specified face amount may not be covered by this rider. If not, the portion of the monthly deduction associated with the increase will continue to be deducted from the cash value, which if insufficient, could result in the Policy's termination. For this reason, it may be advantageous for the owner, at the time of total disability, to reduce the specified face amount to that covered by this rider. /2/ Payment under this rider may affect eligibility for benefits under state or federal law. This rider is currently not available in New Jersey. 40 /3/ This rider is discussed in more detail under "Term Benefit" below. /4/ This rider may be attached at issue if you request it, but not thereafter. /5/ This rider is not available on the portion of the coverage provided under the Term Benefit. Each rider contains important information, including limits and conditions that apply to the benefits. If you decide to purchase any of the riders, you should carefully review their provisions to be sure the benefit is something that you want. These riders may not be available in all states. You should also consider: . That the addition of certain riders can restrict your ability to exercise certain rights under the Policy. . That the amount of benefits provided under the rider is not based on investment performance of a separate account; but, if the Policy terminates because of poor investment performance or any other reason, the riders generally will also terminate. . That there are tax consequences. You should also consult with your tax advisor before purchasing one of the riders. TERM BENEFIT You have the flexibility to include, at Policy issue, a rider that provides a term benefit ("Term Rider"). Such a rider was generally not available with Policies issued prior to May 1, 1996 or in connection with certain employer sponsored plans that became effective prior to that date. The availability of the Term Rider is also subject to governmental approval in your state. The Term Rider is a rider to the Policy that, like the base Policy, provides coverage on the insured to age 95. You may purchase this rider, if available, only at Policy issue. Nevertheless, if you purchase the Term Rider, the amount of coverage under the rider will automatically increase and decrease with any changes to your specified face amount under the Policy, so that the ratio between the Policy's specified face amount and the amount of Term Rider coverage will always remain the same as you originally selected. In almost all respects, coverage taken under the Term Rider has exactly the same effect as coverage taken as specified face amount under the Policy. An important difference, however, is that the sales charge depends on the amount of the coverage provided under the base policy. The amount of Term Rider will impact the sales charge. Thus, in comparing two Policies with identical total insurance amounts, the one with the greater portion provided by the Term Rider will have a lower sales charge. Conversely, the Policy with the higher amount provided under the base policy will have a higher sales charge. Additionally, the cost of term insurance rates currently applicable to coverage provided under the Term Rider are lower than those currently charged for coverage under the base policy. Therefore, the larger the portion of coverage provided under the Term Rider, the lower the overall cost of insurance. Again comparing two Policies with identical total insurance amounts, the cost of insurance will be lower under the Policy with the higher portion of coverage provided under the Term Rider. To summarize, the lower sales charge and lower anticipated current cost of term insurance rates resulting from a greater portion of total coverage provided by the Term Rider will result in better overall performance under 41 the Policy. You may elect to have up to 95% of your total coverage provided by the Term Rider. We are able to make these favorable terms available under the Term Rider largely because our costs of selling it (principally the commissions we pay) are lower than under the base policy. See "Sales of Policies". A disadvantage of the Term Rider is that the Accidental Death Benefit rider is not available in relation to the coverage under the Term Rider. CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS IMPORTANT INFORMATION APPLICABLE TO ALL POLICY CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS [SIDEBAR: CAREFULLY REVIEW THE FEE TABLES IN THIS PROSPECTUS WHICH SET FORTH THE CHARGES THAT YOU PAY UNDER YOUR POLICY.] The charges discussed in the paragraphs that follow are all included in the Fee Tables on pages 8 to 17 of this Prospectus. You should refer to these Fee Tables for information about the rates and amounts of such charges, as well as other information that is not covered below. The Policy charges compensate us for the services and benefits we provide, the costs and expenses we incur, and the risks we assume. Services and benefits we . the death benefit, cash, and loan benefits under provide: the Policy . investment options, including premium allocations . administration of elective options . the distribution of reports to Policy owners Costs and expenses we incur:. costs associated with processing and underwriting applications, and with issuing and administering the Policy (including any riders) . overhead and other expenses for providing services and benefits . sales and marketing expenses . other costs of doing business, such as collecting premiums, maintaining records, processing claims, effecting transactions, and paying federal, state, and local premium and other taxes and fees Risks we assume: . that the cost of term insurance charges we may deduct are insufficient to meet our actual claims because the insureds die sooner than we estimate . that the charges of providing the services and benefits under the Policies exceed the charges we deduct 42 We may profit from the charges, including the cost of term insurance charge and the mortality and expense risk charge. Any distinctions we make about the specific purposes of the different charges are imprecise, and we are free to keep and use our revenues or profits for any other purpose, including paying any of our costs and expenses in connection with the Policies. Our revenues from any particular charge may be more or less than any costs or expenses that charge may be intended primarily to cover. The following sets forth additional information about Policy charges. CHARGES DEDUCTED FROM PREMIUMS ANNUAL TARGET PREMIUM: We use the concept of annual target premium to determine certain limits on sales and administrative charges (discussed immediately below). We define the annual target premium to be: For Policies issued prior to May 1, 1996 or issued in connection with certain employer sponsored plans that became effective prior to August 1, 2000, 50% of the estimated annual amount which satisfied the 7-Pay test under federal tax law based on the issue age of the insured and the initial specified face amount. (See "Federal Tax Matters--Modified Endowment Contracts".) For all other Policies, 100% of the estimated annual amount that satisfied the 7-Pay test based on the issue age of the insured, the specified face amount of insurance of the base Policy only (excluding the Term Rider) and standard underwriting class. For such Policies, the annual target premium amount is increased and decreased proportionately for increases and decreases in the specified face amount of the Policy. This could, in turn, increase or decrease sales and administrative charges. SALES CHARGE: We deduct this charge primarily to help pay the cost of compensating sales representatives and other direct and indirect expenses of distributing the Policies. The charge is assessed directly against each premium. For premiums received in Policy years 1 through 10, the current rate is up to 6.5% of the premium paid until the total payments in each such year equal the annual target premium, and for Policy years 11 and later the rate we charge is up to 3% of each premium until the total payments in the year equal the annual target premium. No sales charge is or will be assessed against any premiums paid in any Policy year in excess of a total equal to the annual target premium. The maximum rate we can charge for premiums received up to a total equal to the annual target premium during Policy years 1 through 10 is 9%, and the maximum for Policy years 11 and later is the same as currently charged in those years. ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE: We incur expenses in the administration of the Policy, including our underwriting and start-up expenses. We deduct up to 1.05% of each premium payment primarily to cover this expense up to a total of payments in any Policy year equal to the annual target premium, and .05% on any excess payments in any Policy year exceeding that total amount. Our charge will never exceed this rate. CHARGE FOR AVERAGE EXPECTED STATE AND LOCAL TAXES ATTRIBUTABLE TO PREMIUMS: We make this charge to reimburse us for the state premium taxes that we must pay on premiums we receive. Premium taxes vary from state to state and currently range from 0 to 3.5%. Our charge of 2.25% approximates the average tax rate we expect to pay on premiums we receive from all states. 43 CHARGE FOR EXPECTED FEDERAL TAXES ATTRIBUTABLE TO PREMIUMS: Federal income tax law requires us to pay certain amounts of taxes that are related to the amount of premiums we receive. We deduct 1.2% of each premium payment to offset the cost to us of those additional taxes, which may be more or less than the amount we pay in respect of your premiums. CHARGE FOR INTERIM TERM INSURANCE BENEFIT: This charge is deducted only from your initial premium payment, and only if you elect the interim term insurance benefit. The interim term insurance benefit provides temporary initial life insurance coverage on the insured prior to the time that coverage under the Policy takes effect. This coverage is provided by adding a "rider" and is subject to several conditions and limitations. The charge for this benefit is described in the rider form. This charge is primarily to compensate us for the risk that the insured will die while coverage under this rider is in force. LOAN INTEREST SPREAD: We charge interest on Policy loans but credit you with interest on the amount of the cash value we hold as collateral for the loan. The loan interest spread is the excess of the interest rate we charge over the interest rate we credit. This charge is primarily to cover our expense in providing the loan. The charge is guaranteed to never exceed 2%. CHARGES INCLUDED IN THE MONTHLY DEDUCTION We allocate the monthly deduction (except for the monthly mortality and expense risk charge) among the Fixed Account and each investment division of the Separate Account in the same proportion as the Policy's cash value in each such option bears to the total cash value of the Policy in the Fixed Account and the investment divisions. We deduct the monthly deductions as of each monthly anniversary, commencing with the Date of Policy. . COST OF TERM INSURANCE. This charge varies monthly based on many factors. Each month, we determine the charge by multiplying your cost of insurance rates by the term insurance amount. This is the amount that we are at risk if the insured dies. The term insurance amount is the death benefit at the beginning of the Policy month divided by a discount factor to account for an assumed return during the month; minus the cash value at the beginning of the Policy month after deduction of all other applicable charges. Factors that affect the term insurance amount include the specified face amount, the cash value and the death benefit option you choose (generally, the term insurance amount will be higher for Options B and C). The term insurance rate is based on our expectations as to future experience, taking into account the insured's sex (if permitted by law and applicable under your Policy), age, underwriting class and rate class. The rates will never exceed the guaranteed rates, which are based on certain 1980 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables. Our current rates are lower than the maximums in most cases. We review our rates periodically and may adjust them, but we will apply the same rates to everyone who has had their Policy for the same amount of time and who is the same age, sex and rate class. As a general rule, the cost of insurance rate increases each year you own your Policy, as the insured's age increases. Rate class relates to the level of mortality risk we assume with respect to an insured. It can be the standard rate class, or one that is higher (and may be divided by smoking status). The insured's rate class will affect your cost of term insurance. 44 You can also have more than one rate class in effect, if the insured's rate class has changed and you change your specified face amount. A better rate class will lower the cost of term insurance on your entire Policy and a worse rate class will affect the portion of your cost of term insurance charge attributable to the specified face amount increase. . MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE. We make this monthly charge primarily to compensate us for mortality risks that insureds may live for a shorter period than we expect; and expense risks that our issuing and administrative expenses may be higher than we expect. This monthly charge is allocated proportionately to the cash value in each investment division of the Separate Account. The maximum rate we may charge is equivalent to an effective annual rate of .90% of the cash value in the Separate Account. CHARGES FOR CERTAIN OPTIONAL RIDER BENEFITS The charges for most of the optional benefits that you can add by rider to your Policy will be deducted as part of the monthly deduction. This includes the following riders: . Disability Waiver of Monthly Deduction Benefit . Accidental Death Benefit . Accelerated Death Benefit . Term Benefit The purpose of the charge for each rider is primarily to compensate us for our direct and indirect costs and risks in providing that rider. The charge we deduct for any such additional benefits you can add by rider is described in the rider form. VARIATIONS IN CHARGES We may vary a charge by group, based on anticipated variations in our costs or risks associated with the group or individuals in the group that the charge was intended to cover. Our variations in the charges will be made in accordance with our established and uniformly applied administrative procedures. We consider a variety of factors in determining charges, including but not limited to: . The nature of the group and its organizational framework . The method by which sales will be made to the individuals associated with the group . The facility by which premiums will be paid . The group's capabilities with respect to administrative tasks . Our anticipated persistency of the Policies . The size of the group and the number or years it has been in existence . The aggregate amount of premiums we expect to be paid on the Policies owned by the group or by individuals associated with the group Any variations in charges will be reasonable and will not be unfairly discriminatory to the interests of any Policy owner. PORTFOLIO COMPANY CHARGES Each of the Portfolios pays an investment management fee to its investment manager. Each Portfolio also incurs other direct expenses. See the fuller description contained in the Fee Table section of this Prospectus (also see the 45 Fund Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information referred to therein for each Fund). You bear indirectly your proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the Portfolios of each Fund that correspond to the Separate Account investment divisions you are using. OTHER CHARGES ADDITIONAL TAXES. In general, we don't expect to incur federal, state or local taxes upon the earnings or realized capital gains attributable to the assets in the Separate Account relating to the cash surrender value of the Policies. If we do incur such taxes, we reserve the right to charge cash value allocated to the Separate Account for these taxes. CASH VALUE TRANSFERS. We do not currently charge for any transfer amounts. Except for transfers under Systematic Investment Strategies, we reserve the right to assess up to a $25 charge in the future against all transfers. Currently, transfers are not taxable transactions. POLICY TERMINATION AND REINSTATEMENT TERMINATION: We will terminate your Policy without any cash surrender value if: . The cash surrender value is less than the monthly deduction; and . We do not receive a sufficient premium payment within the 61-day grace period to cover the monthly deduction. We will mail you notice if any grace period starts. REINSTATEMENT: Upon your request, we will reinstate your Policy (without reinstating any amounts in a Policy loan account), subject to certain terms and conditions that the Policy provides. We must receive your request within 3 years (or any longer period required by state law) after the end of the grace period and before the Final Date. You also must provide us: . A written application for reinstatement (the date we approve the application will be the effective date of the reinstatement). . Evidence of insurability that we find satisfactory. . An additional premium amount that the Policy prescribes for this purpose. FEDERAL TAX MATTERS [SIDEBAR: YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR TO FIND OUT HOW TAXES CAN AFFECT YOUR BENEFITS AND RIGHTS UNDER YOUR POLICY.] The following is a brief summary of some tax rules that may apply to your Policy. Such discussion does not purport to be complete or to cover every situation. You must consult with and rely on the advice of your own tax or ERISA counsel, especially where the Policy is being purchased in connection with an employee benefit plan, such as a death benefit or deferred compensation plan, or is being purchased for estate, tax planning or similar purposes. You should also consult with your own tax advisor to find out how taxes can affect your benefits and rights under your Policy. Such consultation is especially important before you make unscheduled premium payments, change your specified face amount, change your death benefit option, change coverage provided by riders, take a loan or withdrawal, or assign or surrender the Policy. Under current federal income tax law, the taxable portion of distributions from variable life policies is taxed at ordinary income tax rates and does not qualify for the reduced tax rate applicable to long-term capital gains and dividends. 46 IRS CIRCULAR 230 NOTICE: The tax information contained herein is not intended to (and cannot) be used by anyone to avoid IRS penalties. It is intended to support the sale of the Policy. The Policy owner should seek tax advice based on the Policy owner's particular circumstances from an independent tax adviser. INSURANCE PROCEEDS . Insurance proceeds are generally excludable from your beneficiary's gross income to the extent provided in section 101 of the Internal Revenue Code. . In the case of employer-owned life insurance as defined in Section 101(j), the amount of the death benefit excludable from gross income is limited to premiums paid unless the Policy falls within certain specified exceptions and a notice and consent requirement is satisfied before the Policy is issued. Certain specified exceptions are based on the status of an employee as highly compensated or recently employed. There are also exceptions for Policy proceeds paid to an employee's heirs. These exceptions only apply if proper notice is given to the insured employee and consent is received from the insured employee before the issuance of the Policy. These rules apply to Policies issued August 18, 2006 and later and also apply to policies issued before August 18, 2006 after a material increase in the death benefit or other material change. An IRS reporting requirement applies to employer-owned life insurance subject to these rules. Because these rules are complex and will affect the tax treatment of death benefits, it is advisable to consult tax counsel. The death benefit will also be taxable in the case of a transfer-for-value unless certain exceptions apply. . The death proceeds may be subject to federal estate tax: (i) if paid to the insured's estate or (ii) if paid to a different beneficiary if the insured possessed incidents of ownership at or within three years before death. . If you die before the insured, the value of your Policy (determined under IRS rules) is included in your estate and may be subject to federal estate tax. . Whether or not any federal estate tax is due is based on a number of factors including the estate size. . The insurance proceeds payable upon death of the insured will never be less than the minimum amount required for the Policy issued on a standard risk basis to be treated as life insurance under section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code, as in effect on the date the Policy was issued. There is less guidance, however, with respect to Policies issued on a substandard risk basis, and it is not clear that such Policies will in all cases satisfy the applicable requirements to be treated as life insurance under section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code. CASH VALUE (IF YOUR POLICY IS NOT A MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT) . You are generally not taxed on your cash value until you withdraw it or surrender your Policy or receive a distribution (such as on the Final Date). In these cases, you are generally permitted to take withdrawals and receive other distributions up to the amount of premiums paid without any tax consequences. However, withdrawals and other distributions will be subject to income tax after you have received amounts equal to the total premiums you paid. Somewhat different rules may apply if there is a death benefit reduction in the first 15 Policy years, when a distribution may be subject to tax on an income-out-first basis if there is a gain in your Policy (which is generally when your cash value exceeds the cumulative premiums you paid). Finally, if your Policy is part of an equity split dollar arrangement, there is a risk that some portion of the cash value may be taxed prior to any Policy distribution. LOANS . Loan amounts you receive will generally not be subject to income tax, unless your Policy is or becomes a modified endowment contract, is exchanged or terminates. 47 . Interest on loans is generally not deductible. For businesses that own a Policy, at least part of the interest deduction unrelated to the Policy may be disallowed unless the insured is a 20% owner, officer, director or employee of the business. . If your Policy terminates (upon surrender, cancellation, lapse, the Final Date or, in most cases, exchanges) while any Policy loan is outstanding, the amount of the loan plus accrued interest thereon will be deemed to be a "distribution" to you. Any such distribution will have the same tax consequences as any other Policy distribution. Thus, there will generally be federal income tax payable on the amount by which withdrawals and loans exceed the premiums paid to date. Please be advised that amounts borrowed and withdrawn reduce the Policy's cash value and any remaining Policy cash value may be insufficient to pay the income tax on your gains. MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS These contracts are life insurance contracts where the premiums paid during the first 7 years after the Policy is issued, or after a material change in the Policy, exceed tax law limits referred to as the "7-pay test." Material changes in the Policy include changes in the level of benefits and certain other changes to your Policy after the issue date. Reductions in benefits during a 7-pay period also may cause your Policy to become a modified endowment contract. Generally, a life insurance policy that is received in exchange for a modified endowment contract will also be considered a modified endowment contract. The IRS has promulgated a procedure for the correction of inadvertent modified endowment contracts. Due to the flexibility of the Policies as to premiums and benefits, the individual circumstances of each Policy will determine whether it is classified as a MEC. If your Policy is considered a modified endowment contract the following applies: . The death benefit will still generally be income tax free to your beneficiary, as discussed above. . Amounts withdrawn or distributed before the insured's death, including (without limitation) loans, assignments and pledges, are treated as income first and subject to income tax (to the extent of any gain in your Policy). All modified endowment contracts you purchase from us and our affiliates during the same calendar year are treated as a single contract for purposes of determining the amount of any such income. . An additional 10% income tax generally applies to the taxable portion of the amounts received before age 591/2 except generally if you are disabled or if the distribution is part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments made over life expectancy. . If a Policy becomes a modified endowment contract, distributions that occur during the Policy year will be taxed as distributions from a modified endowment contract. In addition, distributions from a Policy within two years before it becomes a modified endowment contract will be taxed in this manner. This means that a distribution made from a Policy that is not a modified endowment contract could later become taxable as a distribution from a modified endowment contract. DIVERSIFICATION In order for your Policy to qualify as life insurance, we must comply with certain diversification standards with respect to the investments underlying the Policy. We believe that we satisfy and will continue to satisfy these diversification standards. Inadvertent failure to meet these standards may be able to be corrected. Failure to meet these standards would result in immediate taxation to Policy owners of gains under their Policies. 48 INVESTOR CONTROL In some circumstances, owners of variable policies who retain excessive control over the investment of the underlying Separate Account assets may be treated as the owners of those assets and may be subject to tax on income produced by those assets. Although published guidance in this area does not address certain aspects of the Policies, we believe that the Owner of a Policy should not be treated as an owner of the assets in our Separate Account. We reserve the right to modify the Policies to bring them into conformity with applicable standards should such modification be necessary to prevent Owners of the Policies from being treated as the owners of the underlying Separate Account assets. ECONOMIC GROWTH AND TAX RELIEF RECONCILIATION ACT OF 2001. The Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 ("EGTRRA") repeals the federal estate tax and replaces it with a carryover basis income tax regime effective for estates of decedents dying after December 31, 2009. EGTRRA also repeals the generation skipping transfer tax, but not the gift tax, for transfers made after December 31, 2009. EGTRRA contains a sunset provision, which essentially returns the federal estate, gift and generation-skipping transfer taxes to their pre-EGTRRA form, beginning in 2011. Congress may or may not enact permanent repeal between now and then. During the period prior to 2010, EGTRRA provides for periodic decreases in the maximum estate tax rate coupled with periodic increases in the estate tax exemption. For 2007-2009 the maximum estate tax rate is 45%. The estate tax exemption is $2,000,000 for 2006-2008 and $3,000,000 in 2009. The complexity of the new tax law, along with uncertainty as to how it might be modified in coming years, underscores the importance of seeking guidance from a qualified advisor to help ensure that your estate plan adequately addresses your needs and that of your beneficiaries under all possible scenarios. WITHHOLDING To the extent that Policy distributions are taxable, they are generally subject to withholding for the recipient's Federal income tax liability. Recipients can generally elect however, not to have tax withheld from distributions. LIFE INSURANCE PURCHASES BY NONRESIDENT ALIENS AND FOREIGN CORPORATIONS Policy Owners that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax on taxable distributions from life insurance policies at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, Policy Owners may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes that may be imposed by the Policy Owner's country of citizenship or residence. Prospective purchasers are advised to consult with a qualified tax adviser regarding taxation with respect to a Policy purchase. BUSINESS USES OF POLICY Businesses can use the Policies in various arrangements, including nonqualified deferred compensation or salary continuation plans, split dollar insurance plans, executive bonus plans, tax exempt and nonexempt welfare benefit plans, retiree medical benefit plans and others. The tax consequences of such plans may vary depending on the particular facts and circumstances. If you are purchasing the Policy for any arrangement the value of which depends in part on its tax consequences, you should consult a qualified tax adviser. 49 There may be an indirect tax upon the income in the Policy or the proceeds of a Policy under the Federal corporate alternative minimum tax, if you are subject to that tax. The IRS has issued guidance on split dollar insurance plans. A tax adviser should be consulted with respect to this guidance if you have purchased or are considering the purchase of a Policy for a split dollar insurance plan. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act"), which was signed into law on July 30, 2002, prohibits, with limited exceptions, publicly-traded companies, including non-U.S. companies that have securities listed on exchanges in the United States, from extending, directly or indirectly or through a subsidiary, many types of personal loans to their directors or executive officers. It is possible that this prohibition may be interpreted as applying to split-dollar life insurance policies for directors and executive officers of such companies, since at least some such arrangements can arguably be viewed as involving a loan from the employer for at least some purposes. Although the prohibition on loans is generally effective as of July 30, 2002, there is an exception for loans outstanding as of the date of enactment, so long as there is no material modification to the loan terms and the loan is not renewed after July 30, 2002. Any affected business contemplating the payment of a premium on an existing policy, or the purchase of a new policy in connection with a split dollar life insurance arrangement should consult legal counsel. Split dollar insurance plans that provide deferred compensation may be subject to recently enacted rules governing deferred compensation arrangements. Failure to adhere to these rules will result in adverse tax consequences. A tax adviser should be consulted with respect to such plans. In the case of a business-owned Policy, the provisions of Section 101(j) of the Code may limit the amount of the death benefit excludable from gross income unless a specified exception applies and a notice and consent requirement is satisfied, as discussed above. CHANGES TO TAX RULES AND INTERPRETATIONS Changes in applicable tax rules and interpretations can adversely affect the tax treatment of your Policy. These changes may take effect retroactively. We reserve the right to amend the Policy in any way necessary to avoid any adverse tax treatment. Examples of changes that could create adverse tax consequences include: . Possible taxation of cash value transfers between investment funds. . Possible taxation as if you were the owner of your allocable portion of the Separate Account's assets. . Possible limits on the number of investment funds available or the frequency of transfers among them. . Possible changes in the tax treatment of Policy benefits and rights. To the extent permitted under the federal tax law, we may claim the benefit of certain foreign tax credits attributable to taxes paid by certain Funds to foreign jurisdictions. THE COMPANY'S INCOME TAXES Under current federal income tax law we are not taxed on the Separate Account's operations. Thus, currently we do not deduct a charge from the Separate Account for company federal income taxes. (We do deduct a charge 50 for federal taxes from premiums.) We reserve the right to charge the Separate Account for any future federal income taxes we may incur. Under current laws we may incur state and local taxes (in addition to premium taxes). These taxes are not now significant and we are not currently charging for them. If they increase, we may deduct charges for such taxes. We may be entitled to certain tax benefits related to the assets of the Separate Account. These tax benefits which may include foreign tax credits and corporate dividends received deductions, are not passed back to the Separate Account or to Policy owners since we are the owner of the assets from which the tax benefits are derived. RIGHTS WE RESERVE We reserve the right to make certain changes if we believe the changes are in the best interest of our Policy owners or would help carry out the purposes of the Policy. We will make these changes in the manner permitted by applicable law and only after getting any necessary owner and regulatory approval. We will notify you of any changes that result in a material change in the underlying investments in the investment divisions, and you will have a chance to transfer out of the affected division (without charge). Some of the changes we may make include: . Operating the Separate Account in any other form that is permitted by applicable law. . Changes to obtain or continue exemptions from the 1940 Act. . Transferring assets among investment divisions or to other separate accounts, or our general account or combining or removing investment divisions from the Separate Account. . Substituting Fund shares in an investment division for shares of another portfolio of a Fund or another fund or investment permitted by law. . Changing the way we assess charges without exceeding the aggregate amount of the Policy's guaranteed maximum charges. . Making any necessary technical changes to the Policy to conform it to the changes we have made. Some such changes might require us to obtain regulatory or Policy owner approval. Whether regulatory or Policy owner approval is required would depend on the nature of the change and, in many cases, the manner in which the change is implemented. You should not assume, therefore, that you necessarily will have an opportunity to approve or disapprove any such changes. Circumstances that could influence our determination to make any change might include changes in law or interpretations thereof; changes in financial or investment market conditions; changes in accepted methods of conducting operations in the relevant market; or a desire to achieve material operating economies or efficiencies. [SIDEBAR: CAREFULLY REVIEW YOUR POLICY, WHICH CONTAINS A FULL DISCUSSION OF ALL ITS PROVISIONS.] OTHER POLICY PROVISIONS FREE LOOK PERIOD You can return the Policy during this period. The period ends on the later of: . 10 days after you receive the Policy (unless state law requires a longer period); and . the date we receive a receipt signed by you. If you return your Policy, we will send you a complete refund of any premiums paid (or cash value plus any charges deducted if state law requires) within seven days. 51 FOR POLICIES ISSUED IN CALIFORNIA: If you are age 60 or older, you may cancel the Policy within 30 days after you receive it. If you elected on the Policy application to allocate 100% of your initial net premium to the BlackRock Money Market investment division, we will refund the premiums you paid; if you elected to allocate your initial net premium to the other investment divisions and/or the Fixed Account, we will refund the Policy's cash value. SUICIDE If the insured commits suicide within the first two Policy years (or any other period required by state law), your beneficiary will receive all premiums paid (without interest), less any outstanding loans (plus accrued interest) and withdrawals taken. Similarly, we will pay the beneficiary only the cost of any increase in specified face amount if the insured commits suicide within two years of such increase. ASSIGNMENT AND CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP You can assign your Policy as collateral if you notify us in writing. The assignment or release of the assignment is effective when it is recorded at the Designated Office. We are not responsible for determining the validity of the assignment or its release. Also, there could be serious adverse tax consequences to you or your beneficiary, so you should consult with your tax adviser before making any change of ownership or other assignment. REPORTS Generally, you will promptly receive statements confirming your significant transactions such as: . Change in specified face amount. . Change in death benefit option. . Transfers among investment divisions (including those through Systematic Investment Strategies, which are confirmed quarterly). . Partial withdrawals. . Loan amounts you request. . Loan repayments and premium payments. If your premium payments are made through a systematic payment method, we will not send you any confirmation in addition to the one you receive from your employer. We will also send you an annual statement within 30 days after a Policy year. That statement will summarize the year's transactions and include information on: . Deductions and charges. . Status of the death benefit. . Cash and cash surrender values. . Amounts in the investment divisions and Fixed Account. . Status of Policy loans. . Automatic loans to pay interest. . Information on your modified endowment contract status (if applicable). We will also send you a Fund's annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders. WHEN YOUR REQUESTS BECOME EFFECTIVE Generally, requests, premium payments and other instructions and notifications are effective on the Date of Receipt. In those cases, the effective 52 time is at the end of the Valuation Period during which we receive them at our Designated Office. (Some exceptions to this general rule are noted below and elsewhere in this Prospectus.) A Valuation Period is the period between two successive Valuation Dates. It begins at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on a Valuation Date and ends at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the next succeeding Valuation Date. The close of regular trading is 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time on most days. Valuation Date is each day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. Accordingly, if we receive your request, premium, or instructions after the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, or if the New York Stock Exchange is not open that day, then we will treat it as received on the next day when the New York Stock Exchange is open. These rules apply regardless of the reason we did not receive your request, premium, or instructions by the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, even if due to our delay (such as a delay in answering your telephone call). The end of the free look period is the effective time of the premium allocation instructions you make in your Policy application (and any changes in allocation or transfer requests you make on or before the end of the free look period). Your Investment Start Date is the date the first net premium is applied to the Fixed Account and/or the Separate Account and is the later of (1) the Date of Policy and (2) the Date of Receipt of your first premium payment. The effective date of your Systematic Investment Strategies will be that set forth in the strategy chosen. THIRD PARTY REQUESTS Generally, we accept requests for transactions or information only from you. Therefore, we reserve the right not to process transactions requested on your behalf by your agent with a power of attorney or any other authorization. This includes processing transactions by an agent you designate, through a power of attorney or other authorization, who has the ability to control the amount and timing of transfers for a number of other Policy owners, and who simultaneously makes the same request or series of requests on behalf of other Policy owners. EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE If you decide that you no longer want to take advantage of the investment divisions in the Separate Account, you may transfer all of your money into the Fixed Account. No charge will be imposed on a transfer of your entire cash value (or the cash value attributable to a specified face amount increase) to the Fixed Account within the first 24 Policy months (or within 24 Policy months after a specified face amount increase you have requested, as applicable). In some states, in order to exercise your exchange privilege, you must transfer, without charge, the Policy cash value (or the portion attributable to a specified face amount increase) to a flexible premium fixed benefit life insurance policy that we make available. 53 SALES OF POLICIES On or about May 1, 2007, MetLife Investors Distribution Company ("MLIDC") became the principal underwriter and distributor of the Policies. Prior to that time, we served as principal underwriter and distributor. MLIDC, which is our affiliate, is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "'34 Act") as a broker-dealer and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"). The Policies are sold through licensed life insurance sales representatives who are associated with MetLife Securities, Inc. ("MSI"), our affiliate, or with our other affiliated broker-dealers, New England Securities Corporation, Walnut Street Securities, Inc. and Tower Square Securities, Inc. MSI and our other affiliated broker-dealers are registered with the SEC as broker-dealers under the '34 Act and are also members of the NASD. The Policies may also be sold through licensed life insurance sales representatives associated with unaffiliated broker-dealers with which MLIDC enters into a selling agreement. We reimburse MLIDC for expenses MLIDC incurs in distributing the Policies, e.g., commissions payable to broker-dealers who sell the Policies, including our affiliated broker-dealers. The payments described below do not result in a charge against the Policy in addition to the charges already described elsewhere in this prospectus. We may require all or part of the compensation to be returned to us if you do not continue the Policy for at least five years. MetLife sales representatives are sales representatives registered through MSI. MetLife sales representatives may be career sales representatives who are employees of MetLife or brokers who are not employees of MetLife. A MetLife sales representative receives cash payments for the products the representative sells and services based on a "gross dealer concession" model. The gross dealer concession for the Policies varies based on the Policy year and on whether the amount of premiums paid in a Policy year is greater or less than the Policy's Target Premium. The Target Premium is shown in your Policy. In the first Policy year, the gross dealer concession is 28% of premiums paid up to the amount of the Target Premium, and 2.5% of premiums paid in excess of the Target Premium; in Policy years 2 through 4, the gross dealer concession is 8.25% of premiums paid up to the amount of the Target Premium and 2.5% of any excess; in Policy year 5 and later, the gross dealer concession is 2.5% of all premiums paid; and in Policy year 8 and thereafter a gross dealer concession of 0.1% is paid on the Policy's cash value. A sales representative may be entitled to all or a portion of the gross dealer concession for selling and servicing the Policy based on a formula that takes into consideration the amount of proprietary products that the sales representative sells and services. Proprietary products are products issued by us and our affiliates. Because sales of proprietary products are a factor in determining the percentage of gross dealer concession to which a sales representative is entitled, sales representatives have an incentive to favor the sale of the Policies over other similar products issued by non-affiliates. For Policies sold by representatives of affiliated and unaffiliated broker dealers, MLIDC pays commissions to the broker-dealer with which the representative is registered. The commissions paid to the broker-dealer are generally not expected to exceed, on a present value basis, the aggregate 54 amount of compensation that is paid with respect to sales made through our sales representatives. (Total compensation includes payments that we make to our business unit or the business unit of our affiliate that is responsible for the operation of the distribution systems though which the Policy is sold.) Broker-dealers pay their sales representatives all or a portion of the commissions received for their sales of the Policies. The portion of the commissions that the broker-dealer passes through to its sales representatives is determined in accordance with the broker-dealer's internal compensation program. MetLife sales representatives and their managers (and the sales representatives and managers of our affiliates) may also be eligible for cash compensation such as bonuses, equity awards (for example, stock options), training allowances, supplemental salary, financing arrangements, marketing support, medical and other insurance benefits, retirement benefits, non-qualified deferred compensation plans and other benefits. The amount of this additional cash compensation is based primarily on the amount of proprietary products sold. Sales representatives must meet a minimum level of sales of proprietary products in order to maintain their employment status with us and in order to be eligible for most of the cash compensation listed above. Managers may be eligible for additional cash compensation based on the performance (with emphasis on the sale of proprietary products) of the sales representatives that the manager supervises. Receipt of this additional cash compensation may provide sales representatives and their managers with an incentive to favor the sale of proprietary products over similar products issued by non-affiliates. MetLife sales representatives and their managers (and the sales representatives and managers of our affiliates) are also eligible for various non-cash compensation programs that we offer such as conferences, trips, prizes, and awards. Other payments may be made for other services that do not directly involve the sale of products. These services may include the recruitment and training of personnel, production of promotional literature, and similar services. MLIDC also enters into selling agreements with other unaffiliated broker-dealers for the sale of the Policies and other variable insurance products, i.e., annuity contracts and life insurance policies, that we and our affiliates issue. MLIDC may pay additional compensation to certain of these broker-dealers, including marketing allowances, introduction fees, persistency payments, preferred status fees and industry conference fees. Marketing allowances are periodic payments to certain broker-dealers based on cumulative periodic (usually quarterly) sales of these variable insurance products. Introduction fees are payments to broker-dealers in connection with the addition of these variable products to the broker-dealer's line of investment products, including expenses relating to establishing the data communications systems necessary for the broker-dealer to offer, sell and administer these products. Persistency payments are periodic payments based on account and/or cash values of these variable insurance products. Preferred status fees are paid to obtain preferred treatment of these products in broker-dealers' marketing programs, which may include marketing services, participation in marketing meetings, listings in data resources and increased access to their sales representatives. Industry conference fees are amounts paid to cover in part the costs associated with sales conferences and educational seminars for broker-dealers' sales representatives. 55 The additional types of compensation discussed above are not offered to all broker-dealers. The terms of any particular agreement governing compensation may vary among broker-dealers and the amounts may be significant. We and MLIDC may enter into similar arrangements with our affiliates MSI, New England Securities Corporation, Walnut Street Securities, Inc. and Tower Square Securities, Inc. The prospect of receiving, or the receipt of, additional compensation as described above may provide broker-dealers or their representatives with an incentive to favor sales of the Policies over other variable insurance policies (or other investments) with respect to which the broker-dealer does not receive additional compensation, or lower levels of additional compensation. You may wish to take such payment arrangements into account when considering and evaluating any recommendation relating to the Policies. For more information about any such arrangements, ask your sales representative for further information about what your sales representative and the broker-dealer for which he or she works may receive in connection with your purchase of a Policy. We retain consultants who provide technical training and sales support to MetLife and our other affiliated sales representatives with respect to certain business planning strategies that may involve the sale of life insurance. We pay these consultants fees that are not conditioned on the sale of any insurance products. These consultants may also provide services directly to our clients for a fee. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In the ordinary course of business, MetLife, similar to other life insurance companies, is involved in lawsuits (including class action lawsuits), arbitrations and other legal proceedings. Also, from time to time, state and federal regulators or other officials conduct formal and informal examinations or undertake other actions dealing with various aspects of the financial services and insurance industries. In some legal proceedings involving insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement payments have been made. It is not possible to predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of any pending legal proceeding or regulatory action. However, MetLife does not believe any such action or proceeding will have a material adverse effect upon the Separate Account or upon the ability of MetLife Investors Distribution Company to perform its contract with the Separate Account or of MetLife to meet its obligations under the Policies. RESTRICTIONS ON FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS Applicable laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering might, in certain circumstances, require us to reject a premium payment and/ or block or "freeze" your Policy. If these laws apply in a particular situation, we would not be allowed to process any request for withdrawals, surrenders, or death benefits, make transfers, or continue making payments under your death benefit option until instructions are received from the appropriate regulator. We also may be required to provide additional information about you or your Policy to government regulators. 56 INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM The financial statements of Metropolitan Life Separate Account UL included in this Prospectus have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report appearing herein and are included in reliance upon the report of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing. The principal address of Deloitte & Touche LLP is 201 East Kennedy Boulevard, Suite 1200, Tampa, Florida 33602-5827. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financial statements of the Separate Account are attached to this Prospectus. You can find the financial statements of MetLife in the Statement of Additional Information.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Separate Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Separate Account is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Separate Account's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2006, by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the investment divisions comprising the Separate Account of Metropolitan Life as of December 31, 2006, and the results of their operations and the changes in their net assets for each of the periods in the three years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP Certified Public Accountants Tampa, FL March 26, 2007 F-1 APPENDIX A MetLife Aggressive Allocation Janus Aspen Forty Investment Investment Division Division AIM V.I.

Metropolitan Life is a wholly owned subsidiary of MetLife, Inc. ("MetLife"). The Separate Account was registered as a unit investment trust on January 5, 1990 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and exists in accordance with the regulations of the New York Insurance Department. The Separate Account supports six Policies: Flexible Premium Multifunded Life ("UL II"), MetLife Flexible Premium Variable Life ("MetFlex"), Group Variable Universal Life ("GVUL"), Flexible Premium Multifunded Life ("Equity Advantage VUL"), Variable Additional Insurance ("VAI") and Variable Additional Benefits Rider ("VABR").

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial statements included herein have been provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for variable universal life separate accounts registered as unit investment trusts. A. VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS Investments are made in the portfolios of the Funds and are valued at the reported net asset values of these portfolios. The investments of the portfolios are valued at fair value. Money market portfolio investments are valued utilizing the amortized cost method of valuation. Changes in fair values are recorded in the Statement of Operations. F-98 METROPOLITAN LIFE SEPARATE ACCOUNT UL OF METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- (CONTINUED) B. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS Purchases and sales are recorded on the trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on the sales of investments are computed on the basis of the identified cost of the investment sold. Income from dividends and gains from realized gain distributions are recorded on the ex-distribution date. C. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES The operations of the Separate Account are included in the Federal income tax return of Metropolitan Life, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). Under the current provisions of the IRC, Metropolitan Life does not expect to incur Federal income taxes on the earnings of the Separate Account to the extent the earnings are credited under the contracts. Accordingly, no charge is being made currently to the Separate Account for Federal income taxes. Metropolitan Life will review periodically the status of this policy in the event of changes in the tax law. A charge may be made in future years for any Federal income taxes that would be attributable to the Policies. D. NET PREMIUMS Metropolitan Life deducts a sales load and a state premium tax charge from premiums before amounts are allocated to the Separate Account. In the case of certain Policies, Metropolitan Life also deducts a Federal income tax charge before amounts are allocated to the Separate Account. The Federal income tax charge is imposed in connection with certain policies to recover a portion of the Federal income tax adjustment attributable to policy acquisition expenses. E. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported herein. Actual results could differ from these estimates. F. PREMIUM PAYMENTS Premium payments by Metropolitan Life are credited as accumulation units as of the end of the valuation period in which received, as provided in the prospectus. G. RECLASSIFICATION In prior year Statement of Operations, the Separate Account reported dividend income and realized gain distributions collectively as dividend income. The realized gain distributions have been reclassified and now appear as a separate line item in the Statement of Operations for all periods presented. In the prior year financial statements, the realized gain distributions were included in the calculation of the investment income ratios. These distributions were appropriately excluded from the current year calculations and prior year periods have been adjusted to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets of the investment divisions or unit values of the contracts. Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the amounts in the current year financial statements. 3. EXPENSES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS With respect to assets in the Separate Account that support certain Policies, Metropolitan Life deducts a charge from the assets of the Separate Account for the assumption of general administrative expenses and mortality and expense risks. This charge is equivalent to an effective annual rate of 0.45% of the average daily values of the assets in the Separate Account for GVUL policies, 0.90% for UL II & Equity Advantage VUL policies, 0.75% for VAI and VABR policies less than $250,000, and 0.50% for VAI and VABR policies $250,000 and greater. These charges result in the F-99 METROPOLITAN LIFE SEPARATE ACCOUNT UL OF METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 3. EXPENSES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS -- (CONTINUED) reduction of unit values. A charge of 0.60% is assessed against the cash value of the assets in the Separate Account for MetFlex policies outstanding less than ten years. For Metflex policies that have been outstanding for greater than ten years, the charge is reduced to 0.30%. A charge of 0.48% and 0.40% is assessed against the cash value of the assets in the Separate Account for MetFlex C policies and 0.40% for MetFlex Executive policies, respectively. The charges result in the redemption of units. For a full explanation of product charges and associated product features and benefits, please refer to your product prospectus. 4.

(1) Metropolitan Life sells a number of variable life products, which have unique combinations of features and fees that are charged against the policy owner's cash value. Differences in the fee structures result in a variety of unit values, expense ratios and total returns. (2) These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the investment division from the underlying portfolio, net of management fees assessed by the portfolio manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that are assessed against policy owner cash value either through the reduction of unit values or the redemption of units. The recognition of investment income by the investment division is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying portfolio in which the investment divisions invest. (3) These amounts represent the annualized policy expenses of the Separate Account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit value. Charges made directly to policy owner cash value through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying portfolio are excluded. (4) These amounts represent the total return for the period indicated including changes in the value of the underlying portfolio and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. Investment options with a date notation indicate the effective date of that investment option in the Separate Account. The total return is calculated for each period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. (a) For the Period January 1, 2005 thru April 30, 2005 (b) For the Period January 1, 2006 thru April 30, 2006 (c) For the Period May 1, 2006 thru December 31, 2006 (d) For the Period May 3, 2004 thru December 31, 2004 F-118

(1) Metropolitan Life sells a number of variable life products, which have unique combinations of features and fees that are charged against the policy owner's cash value. Differences in the fee structures result in a variety of unit values, expense ratios and total returns. (2) These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the investment division from the underlying portfolio, net of management fees assessed by the portfolio manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that are assessed against policy owner cash value either through the reduction of unit values or the redemption of units. The recognition of investment income by the investment division is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying portfolio in which the investment divisions invest. (3) These amounts represent the annualized policy expenses of the Separate Account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit value. Charges made directly to policy owner cash value through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying portfolio are excluded. (4) These amounts represent the total return for the period indicated including changes in the value of the underlying portfolio and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. Investment options with a date notation indicate the effective date of that investment option in the Separate Account. The total return is calculated for each period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period.

(1) Metropolitan Life sells a number of variable life products, which have unique combinations of features and fees that are charged against the policy owner's cash value. Differences in the fee structures result in a variety of unit values, expense ratios and total returns. (2) These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the investment division from the underlying portfolio, net of management fees assessed by the portfolio manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that are assessed against policy owner cash value either through the reduction of unit values or the redemption of units. The recognition of investment income by the investment division is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying portfolio in which the investment divisions invest. (3) These amounts represent the annualized policy expenses of the Separate Account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit value. Charges made directly to policy owner cash value through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying portfolio are excluded. (4) These amounts represent the total return for the period indicated including changes in the value of the underlying portfolio and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. Investment options with a date notation indicate the effective date of that investment option in the Separate Account. The total return is calculated for each period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period.

(1) Metropolitan Life sells a number of variable life products, which have unique combinations of features and fees that are charged against the policy owner's cash value. Differences in the fee structures result in a variety of unit values, expense ratios and total returns. (2) These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the investment division from the underlying portfolio, net of management fees assessed by the portfolio manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that are assessed against policy owner cash value either through the reduction of unit values or the redemption of units. The recognition of investment income by the investment division is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying portfolio in which the investment divisions invest. (3) These amounts represent the annualized policy expenses of the Separate Account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit value. Charges made directly to policy owner cash value through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying portfolio are excluded. (4) These amounts represent the total return for the period indicated including changes in the value of the underlying portfolio and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values.

B-2 THE COMPANY AND THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ("MetLife") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife, Inc., a publicly traded company. Our main office is located at 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10166. MetLife was formed under the laws of New York State in 1868. MetLife, Inc. is a leading provider of insurance and other financial services to millions of individual and group customers throughout the United States. Through its subsidiaries and affiliates, MetLife, Inc. offers life insurance, annuities, automobile and homeowner's insurance and retail banking services to individuals, as well as group insurance, reinsurance and retirement and savings products and services to corporations and other institutions. Outside the U.S., the MetLife companies have direct insurance operations in Asia Pacific, Latin America and Europe. We established the Separate Account under New York law on December 13, 1988. The Separate Account receives premium payments from the Policies described in the Prospectus and other variable life insurance policies that we issue. We have registered the Separate Account as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). For more information about MetLife, please visit our website at www.metlife.com --------------- ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE OPERATION OF THE POLICIES LIMITS TO METLIFE'S RIGHT TO CHALLENGE THE POLICY We will not contest: . Your Policy after two Policy years from issue or reinstatement (excluding riders added later). . An increase in a death benefit after it has been in effect for two years. MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX We will adjust benefits to reflect the correct age and sex of the insured, if this information isn't correct in the Policy application. DIVIDENDS The Policy is "nonparticipating," which means it is not eligible for dividends from us and does not share in any distributions of our surplus. PAYMENT AND DEFERMENT We can delay transfers, withdrawals, surrender and payment of Policy loans from the Fixed Account for up to six months. Generally, we will pay or transfer amounts from the Separate Account within seven days after the Date of Receipt of all necessary documentation required for such payment or transfer. We can defer this if: . The New York Stock Exchange has an unscheduled closing. . There is an emergency so that we could not reasonably determine the investment experience of a Policy. . The Securities and Exchange determines that an emergency exists. . The Securities and Exchange Commission by order permits us to do so for the protection of Policy owners (provided that the delay is permitted under New York State insurance law and regulations). . With respect to the insurance proceeds, if entitlement to a payment is being questioned or is uncertain. . We are paying amounts attributable to a check. In that case we can wait for a reasonable time (15 days or less) to let the check clear. We currently pay interest on the amount of insurance proceeds at 3% per year (or higher if state law requires) from the date of death until the date we pay the benefit. B-3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING If you are eligible to give us voting instructions, we will send you informational material and a form to send back to us. We are entitled to disregard voting instructions in certain limited circumstances prescribed by the SEC. If we do so, we will give you our reasons in the next semi-annual report to Policy owners. The number of shares for which you can give us voting instructions is determined as of the record date for the Fund shareholder meeting by dividing: . Your Policy's cash value in the corresponding investment division; by . The net asset value of one share of that Portfolio. We will count fractional votes. If we do not receive timely voting instructions from Policy owners and other insurance and annuity owners that are entitled to give us voting instructions, we will vote those shares in the same proportion as the shares held in the same separate account for which we did receive voting instructions. Also, we will vote Fund shares that are not attributable to insurance or annuity owners (including shares that we hold in our general account) or that are held in separate accounts that are not registered under the 1940 Act in the same proportion as the aggregate of the shares for which we received voting instructions from all insurance and annuity owners. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT COMMISSIONS We paid commissions of $2,825,616, $1,887,800 and $2,695,297 in 2004, 2005 and 2006 respectively. The amount of revenues we received from sales charges was less than the amount of commissions we paid in each of these three years. ADDITIONAL FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS If Portfolio shares are sold directly to tax-qualified retirement plans that later lose their tax-qualified status, or to non-qualified plans, the separate accounts investing in the Portfolio may fail the diversification requirements of section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code, which could have adverse tax consequences for variable policy and contract owners, including losing the benefit of tax deferral.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholder's equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As discussed in Note 1, the Company changed its method of accounting for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans and for certain non- traditional long duration contracts and separate accounts as required by accounting guidance which the Company adopted on December 31, 2006 and January 1, 2004, respectively. /s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP New York, New York April 2, 2007 F-1 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.)

F-6 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BUSINESS Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ("Metropolitan Life") and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Company") is a leading provider of insurance and other financial services with operations throughout the United States. The Company offers life insurance and annuities to individuals, as well as group insurance, reinsurance and retirement & savings products and services to corporations and other institutions. Metropolitan Life is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife, Inc. (the "Holding Company"). Outside of the United States, the Company has direct insurance operations in Canada. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of (i) Metropolitan Life and its subsidiaries; (ii) partnerships and joint ventures in which the Company has control; and (iii) variable interest entities ("VIEs") for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Closed block assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are combined on a line-by-line basis with the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses outside the closed block based on the nature of the particular item. See Note 9. Assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of the general account for 2005 and 2004 include amounts related to certain separate accounts previously reported in separate account assets and liabilities. See "Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements." Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments in equity securities in which it has more than a 20% interest and for real estate joint ventures and other limited partnership interests in which it has more than a minor equity interest or more than a minor influence over the joint ventures and partnership's operations, but does not have a controlling interest and is not the primary beneficiary. The Company uses the cost method of accounting for real estate joint ventures and other limited partnership interests in which it has a minor equity investment and virtually no influence over the joint ventures and partnership's operations. Minority interest related to consolidated entities included in other liabilities was $1.5 billion and $1.4 billion at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Certain amounts in the prior year periods' consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2006 presentation. Since the Company is a member of a controlled group of affiliate companies, its results may not be indicative of those of a stand-alone entity. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to adopt accounting policies and make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. The most critical estimates include those used in determining: (i) the fair value of investments in the absence of quoted market values; (ii) investment impairments; (iii) the recognition of income on certain investments; (iv) the application of the consolidation rules to certain investments; (v) the fair value of and accounting for derivatives; (vi) the capitalization and amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC") and the establishment and amortization of value of business acquired ("VOBA"); F-7 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (vii) the liability for future policyholder benefits; (viii) accounting for income taxes and the valuation of deferred tax assets; (ix) accounting for reinsurance transactions; (x) accounting for employee benefit plans; and (xi) the liability for litigation and regulatory matters. A description of such critical estimates is incorporated within the discussion of the related accounting policies which follow. In applying these policies, management makes subjective and complex judgments that frequently require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. Many of these policies, estimates and related judgments are common in the insurance and financial services industries; others are specific to the Company's businesses and operations. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Investments The Company's principal investments are in fixed maturity and equity securities, mortgage and consumer loans, policy loans, real estate, real estate joint ventures and other limited partnerships, short-term investments, and other invested assets. The accounting policies related to each are as follows: Fixed Maturity and Equity Securities. The Company's fixed maturity and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale, except for trading securities, and are reported at their estimated fair value. Unrealized investment gains and losses on these securities are recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income or loss, net of policyholder related amounts and deferred income taxes. All security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Investment gains and losses on sales of securities are determined on a specific identification basis. Interest income on fixed maturity securities is recorded when earned using an effective yield method giving effect to amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividends on equity securities are recorded when declared. These dividends and interest income are recorded as part of net investment income. Included within fixed maturity securities are loan-backed securities including mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. Amortization of the premium or discount from the purchase of these securities considers the estimated timing and amount of prepayments of the underlying loans. Actual prepayment experience is periodically reviewed and effective yields are recalculated when differences arise between the prepayments originally anticipated and the actual prepayments received and currently anticipated. Prepayment assumptions for single class and multi-class mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are obtained from broker-dealer survey values or internal estimates. For credit-sensitive mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities and certain prepayment-sensitive securities, the effective yield is recalculated on a prospective basis. For all other mortgage-backed and asset- backed securities, the effective yield is recalculated on a retrospective basis. The cost of fixed maturity and equity securities is adjusted for impairments in value deemed to be other-than-temporary in the period in which the determination is made. These impairments are included within net investment gains (losses) and the cost basis of the fixed maturity and equity securities is reduced accordingly. The Company does not change the revised cost basis for subsequent recoveries in value. The assessment of whether impairments have occurred is based on management's case-by-case evaluation of the underlying reasons for the decline in fair value. The Company's review of its fixed maturity and equity securities for impairments includes an analysis of the total gross unrealized losses by three categories of securities: (i) securities where the estimated fair value had declined and remained below cost or amortized cost by less than 20%; (ii) securities where the estimated fair value had declined and remained below cost or F-8 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) amortized cost by 20% or more for less than six months; and (iii) securities where the estimated fair value had declined and remained below cost or amortized cost by 20% or more for six months or greater. Additionally, management considers a wide range of factors about the security issuer and uses its best judgment in evaluating the cause of the decline in the estimated fair value of the security and in assessing the prospects for near-term recovery. Inherent in management's evaluation of the security are assumptions and estimates about the operations of the issuer and its future earnings potential. Considerations used by the Company in the impairment evaluation process include, but are not limited to: (i) the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been below cost or amortized cost; (ii) the potential for impairments of securities when the issuer is experiencing significant financial difficulties; (iii) the potential for impairments in an entire industry sector or sub-sector; (iv) the potential for impairments in certain economically depressed geographic locations; (v) the potential for impairments of securities where the issuer, series of issuers or industry has suffered a catastrophic type of loss or has exhausted natural resources; (vi) the Company's ability and intent to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of its value to an amount equal to or greater than cost or amortized cost (See also Note 3); (vii) unfavorable changes in forecasted cash flows on asset-backed securities; and (viii) other subjective factors, including concentrations and information obtained from regulators and rating agencies. The Company purchases and receives beneficial interests in special purpose entities ("SPEs"), which enhance the Company's total return on its investment portfolio principally by providing equity-based returns on debt securities. These investments are generally made through structured notes and similar instruments (collectively, "Structured Investment Transactions"). The Company has not guaranteed the performance, liquidity or obligations of the SPEs and its exposure to loss is limited to its carrying value of the beneficial interests in the SPEs. The Company does not consolidate the SPEs as it has determined it is not the primary beneficiary. These Structured Investment Transactions are included in fixed maturity securities and their income is generally recognized using the retrospective interest method. Impairments of these investments are included in net investment gains (losses). Trading Securities. The Company's trading securities portfolio, principally consisting of fixed maturity and equity securities, supports investment strategies that involve the active and frequent purchase and sale of securities and the execution of short sale agreements and supports asset and liability matching strategies for certain insurance products. Trading securities and short sale agreement liabilities are recorded at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in net investment income. Related dividends and investment income are also included in net investment income. Securities Lending. Securities loaned transactions are treated as financing arrangements and are recorded at the amount of cash received. The Company obtains collateral in an amount equal to 102% of the fair value of the securities loaned. The Company monitors the market value of the securities loaned on a daily basis with additional collateral obtained as necessary. Substantially all of the Company's securities loaned transactions are with large brokerage firms. Income and expenses associated with securities loaned transactions are reported as investment income and investment expense, respectively, within net investment income. Mortgage and Consumer Loans. Mortgage and consumer loans are stated at unpaid principal balance, adjusted for any unamortized premium or discount, deferred fees or expenses, net of valuation allowances. Interest income is accrued on the principal amount of the loan based on the loan's contractual interest rate. Amortization of premiums and discounts is recorded using the effective yield method. Interest income, amortization of premiums and discounts, and prepayment fees are reported in net investment income. Loans are considered to be impaired when it is probable that, based upon current information and events, the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Valuation allowances are established for the excess carrying value of the loan over the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate, the value of the loan's collateral if the loan is in the F-9 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) process of foreclosure or otherwise collateral dependent, or the loan's market value if the loan is being sold. The Company also establishes allowances for loan losses when a loss contingency exists for pools of loans with similar characteristics, such as mortgage loans based on similar property types or loan to value risk factors. A loss contingency exists when the likelihood that a future event will occur is probable based on past events. Interest income earned on impaired loans is accrued on the principal amount of the loan based on the loan's contractual interest rate. However, interest ceases to be accrued for loans on which interest is generally more than 60 days past due and/or where the collection of interest is not considered probable. Cash receipts on such impaired loans are recorded as a reduction of the recorded investment. Gains and losses from the sale of loans and changes in valuation allowances are reported in net investment gains (losses). Policy Loans. Policy loans are stated at unpaid principal balances. Interest income on such loans is recorded as earned using the contractually agreed upon interest rate. Generally, interest is capitalized on the policy's anniversary date. Real Estate. Real estate held-for-investment, including related improvements, is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset (typically 20 to 55 years). Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective leases. The Company classifies a property as held-for-sale if it commits to a plan to sell a property within one year and actively markets the property in its current condition for a price that is reasonable in comparison to its fair value. The Company classifies the results of operations and the gain or loss on sale of a property that either has been disposed of or classified as held-for-sale as discontinued operations, if the ongoing operations of the property will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Company and if the Company will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the property after the sale. Real estate held-for-sale is stated at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value less expected disposition costs. Real estate is not depreciated while it is classified as held-for-sale. The Company periodically reviews its properties held-for-investment for impairment and tests properties for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable and the carrying value of the property exceeds its fair value. Properties whose carrying values are greater than their undiscounted cash flows are written down to their fair value, with the impairment loss included in net investment gains (losses). Impairment losses are based upon the estimated fair value of real estate, which is generally computed using the present value of expected future cash flows from the real estate discounted at a rate commensurate with the underlying risks. Real estate acquired upon foreclosure of commercial and agricultural mortgage loans is recorded at the lower of estimated fair value or the carrying value of the mortgage loan at the date of foreclosure. Real Estate Joint Ventures and Other Limited Partnership Interests. The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments in real estate joint ventures and other limited partnership interests in which it has more than a minor equity interest or more than a minor influence over the joint ventures and partnership's operations, but does not have a controlling interest and is not the primary beneficiary. The Company uses the cost method of accounting for real estate joint ventures and other limited partnership interests in which it has a minor equity investment and virtually no influence over the joint ventures and the partnership's operations. In addition to the investees performing regular evaluations for the impairment of underlying investments, the Company routinely evaluates its investments in real estate joint ventures and limited partnerships for impairments. For its cost method investments it follows an impairment analysis which is similar to the process followed for its fixed maturity and equity securities as described previously. For equity method investees, the Company considers financial and other information provided by the investee, other known information and inherent risks in the underlying investments, as well as future capital commitments, in determining whether an impairment has occurred. When an other-than-temporary impairment is deemed to have occurred, the Company records a realized capital loss within net investment gains (losses) to record the investment at its fair value. F-10 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Short-term Investments. Short-term investments include investments with remaining maturities of one year or less, but greater than three months, at the time of acquisition and are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Other Invested Assets. Other invested assets consist principally of leveraged leases and funds withheld at interest. The leveraged leases are recorded net of non-recourse debt. The Company participates in lease transactions which are diversified by industry, asset type and geographic area. The Company recognizes income on the leveraged leases by applying the leveraged lease's estimated rate of return to the net investment in the lease. The Company regularly reviews residual values and impairs them to expected values as needed. Funds withheld represent amounts contractually withheld by ceding companies in accordance with reinsurance agreements. For agreements written on a modified coinsurance basis and certain agreements written on a coinsurance basis, assets supporting the reinsured policies, and equal to the net statutory reserves, are withheld and continue to be legally owned by the ceding companies. The Company records a funds withheld receivable rather than the underlying investments. The Company recognizes interest on funds withheld at rates defined by the treaty terms which may be contractually specified or directly related to the investment portfolio and records it in net investment income. Other invested assets also include stand-alone derivatives with positive fair values and the fair value of embedded derivatives related to funds withheld and modified coinsurance contracts. Estimates and Uncertainties. The Company's investments are exposed to three primary sources of risk: credit, interest rate and market valuation. The financial statement risks, stemming from such investment risks, are those associated with the recognition of impairments, the recognition of income on certain investments, and the determination of fair values. The determination of the amount of allowances and impairments, as applicable, are described above by investment type. The determination of such allowances and impairments is highly subjective and is based upon the Company's periodic evaluation and assessment of known and inherent risks associated with the respective asset class. Such evaluations and assessments are revised as conditions change and new information becomes available. Management updates it evaluations regularly and reflects changes in allowances and impairments in operations as such evaluations are revised. The recognition of income on certain investments (e.g. loan-backed securities including mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, certain investment transactions, trading securities, etc.) is dependent upon market conditions, which could result in prepayments and changes in amounts to be earned. The fair values of publicly held fixed maturity securities and publicly held equity securities are based on quoted market prices or estimates from independent pricing services. However, in cases where quoted market prices are not available, such as for private fixed maturity securities, fair values are estimated using present value or valuation techniques. The determination of fair values is based on: (i) valuation methodologies; (ii) securities the Company deems to be comparable; and (iii) assumptions deemed appropriate given the circumstances. The fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on available market information and judgments about financial instruments, including estimates of the timing and amounts of expected future cash flows and the credit standing of the issuer or counterparty. Factors considered in estimating fair value include: coupon rate, maturity, estimated duration, call provisions, sinking fund requirements, credit rating, industry sector of the issuer, and quoted market prices of comparable securities. The use of different methodologies and assumptions may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Additionally, when the Company enters into certain Structured Investment Transactions, real estate joint ventures and other limited partnerships for which the Company may be deemed to be the primary beneficiary under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation ("FIN") No. 46(r), Consolidation of F-11 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Variable Interest Entities -- An Interpretation of ARB No. 51, it may be required to consolidate such investments. The accounting rules for the determination of the primary beneficiary are complex and require evaluation of the contractual rights and obligations associated with each party involved in the entity, an estimate of the entity's expected losses and expected residual returns and the allocation of such estimates to each party. The use of different methodologies and assumptions as to the timing and amount of impairments, recognition of income and the determination of the fair value of investments may have a material effect on the amounts presented within the consolidated financial statements. Derivative Financial Instruments Derivatives are financial instruments whose values are derived from interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, or other financial indices. Derivatives may be exchange-traded or contracted in the over-the-counter market. The Company uses a variety of derivatives, including swaps, forwards, futures and option contracts, to manage the risk associated with variability in cash flows or changes in fair values related to the Company's financial instruments. The Company also uses derivative instruments to hedge its currency exposure associated with net investments in certain foreign operations. To a lesser extent, the Company uses credit derivatives to synthetically replicate investment risks and returns which are not readily available in the cash market. The Company also purchases certain securities, issues certain insurance policies and investment contracts and engages in certain reinsurance contracts that have embedded derivatives. Freestanding derivatives are carried on the Company's consolidated balance sheet either as assets within other invested assets or as liabilities within other liabilities at fair value as determined by quoted market prices or through the use of pricing models. The determination of fair value, when quoted market values are not available, is based on valuation methodologies and assumptions deemed appropriate under the circumstances. Derivative valuations can be affected by changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, financial indices, credit spreads, market volatility, and liquidity. Values can also be affected by changes in estimates and assumptions used in pricing models. Such assumptions include estimates of volatility, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, other financial indices and credit ratings. Essential to the analysis of the fair value is risk of counterparty default. The use of different assumptions may have a material effect on the estimated derivative fair value amounts as well as the amount of reported net income. If a derivative is not designated as an accounting hedge or its use in managing risk does not qualify for hedge accounting pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 133"), as amended, changes in the fair value of the derivative are reported in net investment gains (losses), in policyholder benefits and claims for economic hedges of liabilities embedded in certain variable annuity products offered by the Company or in net investment income for economic hedges of equity method investments in joint ventures. The fluctuations in fair value of derivatives which have not been designated for hedge accounting can result in significant volatility in net income. To qualify for hedge accounting, at the inception of the hedging relationship, the Company formally documents its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedging transaction, as well as its designation of the hedge as either (i) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment ("fair value hedge"); (ii) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability ("cash flow hedge"); or (iii) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. In this documentation, the Company sets forth how the hedging instrument is expected to hedge the designated risks related to the hedged item and sets forth the method that will be used to retrospectively and prospectively assess the hedging instrument's effectiveness and the method which will be used to measure ineffectiveness. A derivative designated as a hedging instrument must be assessed as being highly effective in offsetting the designated risk of the hedged item. Hedge effectiveness is formally assessed at inception and periodically throughout the life of the designated hedging relationship. Assessments and F-12 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) measurement of hedge effectiveness are also subject to interpretation and estimation and different interpretations or estimates may have a material effect on the amount reported in net income. The accounting for derivatives is complex and interpretations of the primary accounting standards continue to evolve in practice. Judgment is applied in determining the availability and application of hedge accounting designations and the appropriate accounting treatment under these accounting standards. If it was determined that hedge accounting designations were not appropriately applied, reported net income could be materially affected. Differences in judgment as to the availability and application of hedge accounting designations and the appropriate accounting treatment may result in a differing impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company from that previously reported. Under a fair value hedge, changes in the fair value of the hedging derivative, including amounts measured as ineffectiveness, and changes in the fair value of the hedged item related to the designated risk being hedged, are reported within net investment gains (losses). The fair values of the hedging derivatives are exclusive of any accruals that are separately reported in the consolidated statement of income within interest income or interest expense to match the location of the hedged item. Under a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the hedging derivative measured as effective are reported within other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholder's equity, and the deferred gains or losses on the derivative are reclassified into the consolidated statement of income when the Company's earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the hedged item. Changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument measured as ineffectiveness are reported within net investment gains (losses). The fair values of the hedging derivatives are exclusive of any accruals that are separately reported in the consolidated statement of income within interest income or interest expense to match the location of the hedged item. In a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, changes in the fair value of the hedging derivative that are measured as effective are reported within other comprehensive income (loss) consistent with the translation adjustment for the hedged net investment in the foreign operation. Changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument measured as ineffectiveness are reported within net investment gains (losses). The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when: (i) it is determined that the derivative is no longer highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of a hedged item; (ii) the derivative expires, is sold, terminated, or exercised; (iii) it is no longer probable that the hedged forecasted transaction will occur; (iv) a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment; or (v) the derivative is de- designated as a hedging instrument. When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is determined that the derivative is not highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of a hedged item, the derivative continues to be carried on the consolidated balance sheet at its fair value, with changes in fair value recognized currently in net investment gains (losses). The carrying value of the hedged recognized asset or liability under a fair value hedge is no longer adjusted for changes in its fair value due to the hedged risk, and the cumulative adjustment to its carrying value is amortized into income over the remaining life of the hedged item. Provided the hedged forecasted transaction is still probable of occurrence, the changes in fair value of derivatives recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) related to discontinued cash flow hedges are released into the consolidated statement of income when the Company's earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the hedged item. When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is no longer probable that the forecasted transactions will occur by the end of the specified time period or the hedged item no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment, the derivative continues to be carried on the consolidated balance sheet at its fair value, with changes in fair value recognized currently in net investment gains (losses). Any asset or liability associated with a recognized firm commitment is derecognized from the consolidated balance sheet, and recorded currently in net investment gains (losses). Deferred gains and losses of a derivative recorded in other comprehensive income F-13 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (loss) pursuant to the cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction are recognized immediately in net investment gains (losses). In all other situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued, the derivative is carried at its fair value on the consolidated balance sheet, with changes in its fair value recognized in the current period as net investment gains (losses). The Company is also a party to financial instruments that contain terms which are deemed to be embedded derivatives. The Company assesses each identified embedded derivative to determine whether it is required to be bifurcated under SFAS 133. If the instrument would not be accounted for in its entirety at fair value and it is determined that the terms of the embedded derivative are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract, and that a separate instrument with the same terms would qualify as a derivative instrument, the embedded derivative is bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for as a freestanding derivative. Such embedded derivatives are carried on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value with the host contract and changes in their fair value are reported currently in net investment gains (losses). If the Company is unable to properly identify and measure an embedded derivative for separation from its host contract, the entire contract is carried on the balance sheet at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the current period in net investment gains (losses). Additionally, the Company may elect to carry an entire contract on the balance sheet at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the current period in net investment gains (losses) if that contract contains an embedded derivative that requires bifurcation. There is a risk that embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation may not be identified and reported at fair value in the consolidated financial statements and that their related changes in fair value could materially affect reported net income. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Property, Equipment, Leasehold Improvements and Computer Software Property, equipment and leasehold improvements, which are included in other assets, are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is determined using either the straight-line or sum-of-the-years- digits method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as appropriate. The estimated life for company occupied real estate property is generally 40 years. Estimated lives generally range from five to ten years for leasehold improvements and three to seven years for all other property and equipment. The cost basis of the property, equipment and leasehold improvements was $1.1 billion at both December 31, 2006 and 2005. Accumulated depreciation and amortization of property, equipment and leasehold improvements was $538 million and $445 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Related depreciation and amortization expense was $101 million, $94 million and $93 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Computer software, which is included in other assets, is stated at cost, less accumulated amortization. Purchased software costs, as well as internal and external costs incurred to develop internal-use computer software during the application development stage, are capitalized. Such costs are amortized generally over a four-year period using the straight-line method. The cost basis of computer software was $1.0 billion and $877 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Accumulated amortization of capitalized software was $664 million and $584 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Related amortization expense was $93 million, $97 million and $126 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. F-14 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs and Value of Business Acquired The Company incurs significant costs in connection with acquiring new and renewal insurance business. Costs that vary with and relate to the production of new business are deferred as DAC. Such costs consist principally of commissions and agency and policy issue expenses. VOBA is an intangible asset that reflects the estimated fair value of in-force contracts in a life insurance company acquisition and represents the portion of the purchase price that is allocated to the value of the right to receive future cash flows from the business in- force at the acquisition date. VOBA is based on actuarially determined projections, by each block of business, of future policy and contract charges, premiums, mortality and morbidity, separate account performance, surrenders, operating expenses, investment returns and other factors. Actual experience on the purchased business may vary from these projections. The recovery of DAC and VOBA is dependent upon the future profitability of the related business. DAC and VOBA are aggregated in the financial statements for reporting purposes. DAC related to internally replaced contracts are generally expensed at the date of replacement. DAC and VOBA on life insurance or investment-type contracts are amortized in proportion to gross premiums, gross margins or gross profits, depending on the type of contract as described below. The Company amortizes DAC and VOBA related to non-participating and non- dividend-paying traditional contracts (term insurance, non-participating whole life insurance, non-medical health insurance, and traditional group life insurance) over the entire premium paying period in proportion to the present value of actual historic and expected future gross premiums. The present value of expected premiums is based upon the premium requirement of each policy and assumptions for mortality, morbidity, persistency, and investment returns at policy issuance, or policy acquisition, as it relates to VOBA, that include provisions for adverse deviation and are consistent with the assumptions used to calculate future policyholder benefit liabilities. These assumptions are not revised after policy issuance or acquisition unless the DAC or VOBA balance is deemed to be unrecoverable from future expected profits. Absent a premium deficiency, variability in amortization after policy issuance or acquisition is caused only by variability in premium volumes. The Company amortizes DAC and VOBA related to participating, dividend- paying traditional contracts over the estimated lives of the contracts in proportion to actual and expected future gross margins. The amortization includes interest based on rates in effect at inception or acquisition of the contracts. The future gross margins are dependent principally on investment returns, policyholder dividend scales, mortality, persistency, expenses to administer the business, creditworthiness of reinsurance counterparties, and certain economic variables, such as inflation. For participating contracts (dividend paying traditional contracts within the closed block) future gross margins are also dependent upon changes in the policyholder dividend obligation. Of these factors, the Company anticipates that investment returns, expenses, persistency, and other factor changes and policyholder dividend scales are reasonably likely to impact significantly the rate of DAC and VOBA amortization. Each reporting period, the Company updates the estimated gross margins with the actual gross margins for that period. When the actual gross margins change from previously estimated gross margins, the cumulative DAC and VOBA amortization is re-estimated and adjusted by a cumulative charge or credit to current operations. When actual gross margins exceed those previously estimated, the DAC and VOBA amortization will increase, resulting in a current period charge to earnings. The opposite result occurs when the actual gross margins are below the previously estimated gross margins. Each reporting period, the Company also updates the actual amount of business in-force, which impacts expected future gross margins. The Company amortizes DAC and VOBA related to fixed and variable universal life contracts and fixed and variable deferred annuity contracts over the estimated lives of the contracts in proportion to actual and expected future gross profits. The amortization includes interest based on rates in effect at inception or acquisition of the contracts. The amount of future gross profits is dependent principally upon returns in excess of the amounts credited to policyholders, mortality, persistency, interest crediting rates, expenses to administer F-15 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) the business, creditworthiness of reinsurance counterparties, the effect of any hedges used, and certain economic variables, such as inflation. Of these factors, the Company anticipates that investment returns, expenses, and persistency are reasonably likely to impact significantly the rate of DAC and VOBA amortization. Each reporting period, the Company updates the estimated gross profits with the actual gross profits for that period. When the actual gross profits change from previously estimated gross profits, the cumulative DAC and VOBA amortization is re-estimated and adjusted by a cumulative charge or credit to current operations. When actual gross profits exceed those previously estimated, the DAC and VOBA amortization will increase, resulting in a current period charge to earnings. The opposite result occurs when the actual gross profits are below the previously estimated gross profits. Each reporting period, the Company also updates the actual amount of business remaining in-force, which impacts expected future gross profits. Separate account rates of return on variable universal life contracts and variable deferred annuity contracts affect in-force account balances on such contracts each reporting period. Returns that are higher than the Company's long-term expectation produce higher account balances, which increases the Company's future fee expectations and decreases future benefit payment expectations on minimum death benefit guarantees, resulting in higher expected future gross profits. The opposite result occurs when returns are lower than the Company's long-term expectation. The Company's practice to determine the impact of gross profits resulting from returns on separate accounts assumes that long- term appreciation in equity markets is not changed by short-term market fluctuations, but is only changed when sustained interim deviations are expected. The Company monitors these changes and only changes the assumption when its long-term expectation changes. The Company also reviews periodically other long-term assumptions underlying the projections of estimated gross margins and profits. These include investment returns, policyholder dividend scales, interest crediting rates, mortality, persistency, and expenses to administer business. Management annually updates assumptions used in the calculation of estimated gross margins and profits which may have significantly changed. If the update of assumptions causes expected future gross margins and profits to increase, DAC and VOBA amortization will decrease, resulting in a current period increase to earnings. The opposite result occurs when the assumption update causes expected future gross margins and profits to decrease. Sales Inducements The Company has two different types of sales inducements which are included in other assets: (i) the policyholder receives a bonus whereby the policyholder's initial account balance is increased by an amount equal to a specified percentage of the customer's deposit; and (ii) the policyholder receives a higher interest rate using a dollar cost averaging method than would have been received based on the normal general account interest rate credited. The Company defers sales inducements and amortizes them over the life of the policy using the same methodology and assumptions used to amortize DAC. Goodwill Goodwill is the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or circumstances, such as adverse changes in the business climate, indicate that there may be justification for conducting an interim test. Impairment testing is performed using the fair value approach, which requires the use of estimates and judgment, at the "reporting unit" level. A reporting unit is the operating segment or a business one level below the operating segment, if discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by management at that level. For purposes of goodwill impairment testing, goodwill within Corporate & Other is allocated to reporting units within the Company's business segments. If the carrying value of a reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its fair value, the excess is recognized as an impairment and recorded as a charge against net income. The fair values of the reporting units F-16 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) are determined using a market multiple, a discounted cash flow model, or a cost approach. The critical estimates necessary in determining fair value are projected earnings, comparative market multiples and the discount rate. Liability for Future Policy Benefits and Policyholder Account Balances The Company establishes liabilities for amounts payable under insurance policies, including traditional life insurance, traditional annuities and non- medical health insurance. Generally, amounts are payable over an extended period of time and related liabilities are calculated as the present value of future expected benefits to be paid reduced by the present value of future expected premiums. Such liabilities are established based on methods and underlying assumptions in accordance with GAAP and applicable actuarial standards. Principal assumptions used in the establishment of liabilities for future policy benefits are mortality, morbidity, policy lapse, renewal, retirement, disability incidence, disability terminations, investment returns, inflation, expenses and other contingent events as appropriate to the respective product type. Utilizing these assumptions, liabilities are established on a block of business basis. Future policy benefit liabilities for participating traditional life insurance policies are equal to the aggregate of (i) net level premium reserves for death and endowment policy benefits (calculated based upon the non- forfeiture interest rate, ranging from 3% to 7% and mortality rates guaranteed in calculating the cash surrender values described in such contracts); and (ii) the liability for terminal dividends. Future policy benefits for non-participating traditional life insurance policies are equal to the aggregate of the present value of future benefit payments and related expenses less the present value of future net premiums. Assumptions as to mortality and persistency are based upon the Company's experience when the basis of the liability is established. Interest rates for the aggregate future policy benefit liabilities range from 5% to 7%. Participating business represented approximately 9% and 10% of the Company's life insurance in-force, and 76% and 86% of the number of life insurance policies in-force, at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Participating policies represented approximately 34% and 33%, 35% and 34%, and 37% and 37% of gross and net life insurance premiums for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The percentages indicated are calculated excluding the business of the reinsurance segment. Future policy benefit liabilities for individual and group traditional fixed annuities after annuitization are equal to the present value of expected future payments. Interest rates used in establishing such liabilities range from 3% to 11%. Future policy benefit liabilities for non-medical health insurance are calculated using the net level premium method and assumptions as to future morbidity, withdrawals and interest, which provide a margin for adverse deviation. Interest rates used in establishing such liabilities range from 3% to 7%. Future policy benefit liabilities for disabled lives are estimated using the present value of benefits method and experience assumptions as to claim terminations, expenses and interest. Interest rates used in establishing such liabilities range from 3% to 8%. Liabilities for unpaid claims are estimated based upon the Company's historical experience and other actuarial assumptions that consider the effects of current developments, anticipated trends and risk management programs. The effects of changes in such estimated liabilities are included in the results of operations in the period in which the changes occur. F-17 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The Company establishes future policy benefit liabilities for minimum death and income benefit guarantees relating to certain annuity contracts and secondary and paid up guarantees relating to certain life policies as follows: - Annuity guaranteed death benefit ("GMDB") liabilities are determined by estimating the expected value of death benefits in excess of the projected account balance and recognizing the excess ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments. The Company regularly evaluates estimates used and adjusts the additional liability balance, with a related charge or credit to benefit expense, if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised. The assumptions used in estimating the GMDB liabilities are consistent with those used for amortizing DAC, and are thus subject to the same variability and risk. The assumptions of investment performance and volatility are consistent with the historical experience of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ("S&P"). The benefits used in calculating the liabilities are based on the average benefits payable over a range of scenarios. - Guaranteed income benefit ("GMIB") liabilities are determined by estimating the expected value of the income benefits in excess of the projected account balance at any future date of annuitization and recognizing the excess ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments. The Company regularly evaluates estimates used and adjusts the additional liability balance, with a related charge or credit to benefit expense, if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised. The assumptions used for estimating the GMIB liabilities are consistent with those used for estimating the GMDB liabilities. In addition, the calculation of guaranteed annuitization benefit liabilities incorporates an assumption for the percentage of the potential annuitizations that may be elected by the contractholder. - Liabilities for universal and variable life secondary guarantees and paid-up guarantees are determined by estimating the expected value of death benefits payable when the account balance is projected to be zero and recognizing those benefits ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments. The Company regularly evaluates estimates used and adjusts the additional liability balances, with a related charge or credit to benefit expense, if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised. The assumptions used in estimating the secondary and paid up guarantee liabilities are consistent with those used for amortizing DAC, and are thus subject to the same variability and risk. The assumptions of investment performance and volatility for variable products are consistent with historical S&P experience. The benefits used in calculating the liabilities are based on the average benefits payable over a range of scenarios. The Company establishes policyholder account balances ("PAB") for guaranteed minimum benefit riders relating to certain variable annuity products as follows: - Guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit riders ("GMWB") guarantee the contractholder a return of their purchase payment via partial withdrawals, even if the account value is reduced to zero, provided that the contractholder's cumulative withdrawals in a contract year do not exceed a certain limit. The initial guaranteed withdrawal amount is equal to the initial benefit base as defined in the contract (typically, the initial purchase payments plus applicable bonus amounts). The GMWB is an embedded derivative, which is measured at fair value separately from the host variable annuity product. - Guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit riders ("GMAB") provide the contractholder, after a specified period of time determined at the time of issuance of the variable annuity contract, with a minimum accumulation of their purchase payments even if the account value is reduced to zero. The initial guaranteed accumulation amount is equal to the initial benefit base as defined in the contract (typically, the initial purchase payments plus applicable bonus amounts). The GMAB is also an embedded derivative, which is measured at fair value separately from the host variable annuity product. F-18 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) - For both GMWB and GMAB, the initial benefit base is increased by additional purchase payments made within a certain time period and decreases by benefits paid and/or withdrawal amounts. After a specified period of time, the benefit base may also increase as a result of an optional reset as defined in the contract. - The fair values of the GMWB and GMAB riders are calculated based on actuarial and capital market assumptions related to the projected cash flows, including benefits and related contract charges, over the lives of the contracts, incorporating expectations concerning policyholder behavior. In measuring the fair value of GMWBs and GMABs, the Company attributes a portion of the fees collected from the policyholder equal to the present value of expected future guaranteed minimum withdrawal and accumulation benefits (at inception). The changes in fair value are reported in net investment gains (losses). Any additional fees represent "excess" fees and are reported in universal life and investment-type product policy fees. These riders may be more costly than expected in volatile or declining markets, causing an increase in liabilities for future policy benefits, negatively affecting net income. The Company periodically reviews its estimates of actuarial liabilities for future policy benefits and compares them with its actual experience. Differences between actual experience and the assumptions used in pricing these policies, guarantees and riders and in the establishment of the related liabilities result in variances in profit and could result in losses. The effects of changes in such estimated liabilities are included in the results of operations in the period in which the changes occur. PABs relate to investment-type contracts and universal life-type policies. Investment-type contracts principally include traditional individual fixed annuities in the accumulation phase and non-variable group annuity contracts. PABs are equal to (i) policy account values, which consist of an accumulation of gross premium payments; (ii) credited interest, ranging from 2% to 10%, less expenses, mortality charges, and withdrawals; and (iii) fair value adjustments relating to business combinations. Other Policyholder Funds Other policyholder funds include policy and contract claims, unearned revenue liabilities, premiums received in advance, policyholder dividends due and unpaid, and policyholder dividends left on deposit. The liability for policy and contract claims generally relates to incurred but not reported death, disability, long-term care and dental claims as well as claims which have been reported but not yet settled. The liability for these claims is based on the Company's estimated ultimate cost of settling all claims. The Company derives estimates for the development of incurred but not reported claims principally from actuarial analyses of historical patterns of claims and claims development for each line of business. The methods used to determine these estimates are continually reviewed. Adjustments resulting from this continuous review process and differences between estimates and payments for claims are recognized in policyholder benefits and claims expense in the period in which the estimates are changed or payments are made. The unearned revenue liability relates to universal life-type and investment-type products and represents policy charges for services to be provided in future periods. The charges are deferred as unearned revenue and amortized using the product's estimated gross profits and margins, similar to DAC. Such amortization is recorded in universal life and investment-type product policy fees. The Company accounts for the prepayment of premiums on its group life and health contracts as premium received in advance and applies the cash received to premiums when due. Also included in other policyholder funds are policyholder dividends due and unpaid on participating policies and policyholder dividends left on deposit. Such liabilities are presented at amounts contractually due to policyholders. F-19 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Recognition of Insurance Revenue and Related Benefits Premiums related to traditional life and annuity policies with life contingencies are recognized as revenues when due from policyholders. Policyholder benefits and expenses are provided against such revenues to recognize profits over the estimated lives of the policies. When premiums are due over a significantly shorter period than the period over which benefits are provided, any excess profit is deferred and recognized into operations in a constant relationship to insurance in-force or, for annuities, the amount of expected future policy benefit payments. Premiums related to non-medical health and disability contracts are recognized on a pro rata basis over the applicable contract term. Deposits related to universal life-type and investment-type products are credited to PABs. Revenues from such contracts consist of amounts assessed against PABs for mortality, policy administration and surrender charges and are recorded in universal life and investment-type product policy fees in the period in which services are provided. Amounts that are charged to operations include interest credited and benefit claims incurred in excess of related PABs. Premiums, policy fees, policyholder benefits and expenses are presented net of reinsurance. Other Revenues Other revenues include advisory fees, broker-dealer commissions and fees, and administrative service fees. Such fees and commissions are recognized in the period in which services are performed. Other revenues also include changes in account value relating to corporate-owned life insurance ("COLI"). Under certain COLI contracts, if the Company reports certain unlikely adverse results in its consolidated financial statements, withdrawals would not be immediately available and would be subject to market value adjustment, which could result in a reduction of the account value. Policyholder Dividends Policyholder dividends are approved annually by Metropolitan Life and its insurance subsidiaries' boards of directors. The aggregate amount of policyholder dividends is related to actual interest, mortality, morbidity and expense experience for the year, as well as management's judgment as to the appropriate level of statutory surplus to be retained by the insurance subsidiaries. Income Taxes The Company joins with the Holding Company and its includable life insurance and non-life insurance subsidiaries in filing a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return in accordance with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The Company participates in a tax sharing agreement with the Holding Company. Under the agreement, current income tax expense (benefit) is computed on a separate return basis and provides that members shall make payments (receive reimbursement) to (from) the Holding Company to the extent that their incomes (losses and other credits) contribute to (reduce) the consolidated income tax expense. The consolidating companies are reimbursed for net operating losses or other tax attributes they have generated when utilized in the consolidated return. The Company's accounting for income taxes represents management's best estimate of various events and transactions. Deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities are measured at the balance sheet date using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years the temporary differences are expected to reverse. F-20 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The realization of deferred tax assets depends upon the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carryback or carryforward periods under the tax law in the applicable tax jurisdiction. Valuation allowances are established when management determines, based on available information, that it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be realized. Significant judgment is required in determining whether valuation allowances should be established as well as the amount of such allowances. When making such determination, consideration is given to, among other things, the following: (i) future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards; (ii) future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences; (iii) taxable income in prior carryback years; and (iv) tax planning strategies. The Company may be required to change its provision for income taxes in certain circumstances. Examples of such circumstances include when the ultimate deductibility of certain items is challenged by taxing authorities (See also Note 13) or when estimates used in determining valuation allowances on deferred tax assets significantly change or when receipt of new information indicates the need for adjustment in valuation allowances. Additionally, future events such as changes in tax legislation could have an impact on the provision for income tax and the effective tax rate. Any such changes could significantly affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements in the year these changes occur. The Company classifies interest recognized as interest expense and penalties recognized as a component of income tax. Reinsurance The Company enters into reinsurance transactions as both a provider and a purchaser of reinsurance for its life insurance products. For each of its reinsurance contracts, the Company determines if the contract provides indemnification against loss or liability relating to insurance risk in accordance with applicable accounting standards. The Company reviews all contractual features, particularly those that may limit the amount of insurance risk to which the reinsurer is subject or features that delay the timely reimbursement of claims. For reinsurance of existing in-force blocks of long-duration contracts that transfer significant insurance risk, the difference, if any, between the amounts paid (received), and the liabilities ceded (assumed) related to the underlying contracts is considered the net cost of reinsurance at the inception of the contract. The net cost of reinsurance is recorded as an adjustment to DAC and recognized as a component of other expenses on a basis consistent with the way the acquisition costs on the underlying reinsured contracts would be recognized. Subsequent amounts paid (received) on the reinsurance of in-force blocks, as well as amounts paid (received) related to new business, are recorded as ceded (assumed) premiums and ceded (assumed) future policy benefit liabilities are established. For prospective reinsurance of short-duration contracts that meet the criteria for reinsurance accounting, amounts paid (received) are recorded as ceded (assumed) premiums and ceded (assumed) unearned premiums and are reflected as a component of premiums and other receivables (future policy benefits). Such amounts are amortized through earned premiums over the remaining contract period in proportion to the amount of protection provided. For retroactive reinsurance of short-duration contracts that meet the criteria of reinsurance accounting, amounts paid (received) in excess of (which do not exceed) the related insurance liabilities ceded (assumed) are recognized immediately as a loss. Any gains on such retroactive contracts are deferred and recorded in other liabilities. The gains are amortized primarily using the recovery method. F-21 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The assumptions used to account for both long and short-duration reinsurance contracts are consistent with those used for the underlying contracts. Ceded policyholder and contract related liabilities, other than those currently due, are reported gross on the balance sheet. Amounts currently recoverable under reinsurance contracts are included in premiums and other receivables and amounts currently payable are included in other liabilities. Such assets and liabilities relating to reinsurance contracts with the same reinsurer may be recorded net on the balance sheet, if a right of offset exists within the reinsurance contract. Premiums, fees and policyholder benefits and claims include amounts assumed under reinsurance contracts and are net of reinsurance ceded. If the Company determines that a reinsurance contract does not expose the reinsurer to a reasonable possibility of a significant loss from insurance risk, the Company records the contract as a deposit, net of related expenses. Deposits received are included in other liabilities and deposits made are included within other assets. As amounts are paid or received, consistent with the underlying contracts, the deposit assets or liabilities are adjusted. Interest on such deposits is recorded as other revenue or other expenses, as appropriate. Periodically, the Company evaluates the adequacy of the expected payments or recoveries and adjusts the deposit asset or liability through other revenue or other expenses, as appropriate. Amounts received from reinsurers for policy administration are reported in other revenues. Accounting for reinsurance requires extensive use of assumptions and estimates, particularly related to the future performance of the underlying business and the potential impact of counterparty credit risks. The Company periodically reviews actual and anticipated experience compared to the aforementioned assumptions used to establish assets and liabilities relating to ceded and assumed reinsurance and evaluates the financial strength of counterparties to its reinsurance agreements using criteria similar to that evaluated in the security impairment process discussed previously. Separate Accounts Separate accounts are established in conformity with insurance laws and are generally not chargeable with liabilities that arise from any other business of the Company. Separate account assets are subject to general account claims only to the extent the value of such assets exceeds the separate account liabilities. The Company reports separately, as assets and liabilities, investments held in separate accounts and liabilities of the separate accounts if (i) such separate accounts are legally recognized; (ii) assets supporting the contract liabilities are legally insulated from the Company's general account liabilities; (iii) investments are directed by the contractholder; and (iv) all investment performance, net of contract fees and assessments, is passed through to the contractholder. The Company reports separate account assets meeting such criteria at their fair value. Investment performance (including investment income, net investment gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses)) and the corresponding amounts credited to contractholders of such separate accounts are offset within the same line in the consolidated statements of income. The Company's revenues reflect fees charged to the separate accounts, including mortality charges, risk charges, policy administration fees, investment management fees and surrender charges. Separate accounts not meeting the above criteria are combined on a line-by-line basis with the Company's general account assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Employee Benefit Plans The Company sponsors and administers various qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement employee benefit plans covering eligible employees and sales representatives who meet F-22 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) specified eligibility requirements of the sponsor and its participating affiliates. A December 31 measurement date is used for all the Company's defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans. Pension benefits are provided utilizing either a traditional formula or cash balance formula. The traditional formula provides benefits based upon years of credited service and either final average or career average earnings. The cash balance formula utilizes hypothetical or notional accounts which credit participants with benefits equal to a percentage of eligible pay as well as earnings credits, determined annually based upon the average annual rate of interest on 30-year Treasury securities, for each account balance. As of December 31, 2006, virtually all the obligations are calculated using the traditional formula. The Company also provides certain postemployment benefits and certain postretirement medical and life insurance benefits for retired participants. Participants that were hired prior to 2003 (or, in certain cases, rehired during or after 2003) and meet age and service criteria while working for the Company, may become eligible for these other postretirement benefits, at various levels, in accordance with the applicable plans. Virtually all retirees, or their beneficiaries, contribute a portion of the total cost of postretirement medical benefits. Participants hired after 2003 are not eligible for any employer subsidy for postretirement medical benefits. SFAS No. 87, Employers' Accounting for Pensions ("SFAS 87"), as amended, established the accounting for pension plan obligations. Under SFAS 87, the projected pension benefit obligation ("PBO") is defined as the actuarially calculated present value of vested and non-vested pension benefits accrued based on future salary levels. The accumulated pension benefit obligation ("ABO") is the actuarial present value of vested and non-vested pension benefits accrued based on current salary levels. Obligations, both PBO and ABO, of the defined benefit pension plans are determined using a variety of actuarial assumptions, from which actual results may vary, as described below. SFAS No. 106, Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions ("SFAS 106"), as amended, established the accounting for expected postretirement plan benefit obligations ("EPBO") which represents the actuarial present value of all other postretirement benefits expected to be paid after retirement to employees and their dependents. Unlike for pensions, the EPBO is not recorded in the financial statements but is used in measuring the periodic expense. The accumulated postretirement plan benefit obligations ("APBO") represents the actuarial present value of future other postretirement benefits attributed to employee services rendered through a particular date and is the valuation basis upon which liabilities are established. The APBO is determined using a variety of actuarial assumptions, from which actual results may vary, as described below. Prior to December 31, 2006, the funded status of the pension and other postretirement plans, which is the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the PBO for pension plans and the APBO for other postretirement plans (collectively, the "Benefit Obligations"), were offset by the unrecognized actuarial gains or losses, prior service cost and transition obligations to determine prepaid or accrued benefit cost, as applicable. The net amount was recorded as a prepaid or accrued benefit cost, as applicable. Further, for pension plans, if the ABO exceeded the fair value of the plan assets, that excess was recorded as an additional minimum pension liability with a corresponding intangible asset. Recognition of the intangible asset was limited to the amount of any unrecognized prior service cost. Any additional minimum pension liability in excess of the allowable intangible asset was charged, net of income tax, to accumulated other comprehensive income. As described more fully in "Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements", effective December 31, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 158, Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans -- an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and SFAS No. 132(r) ("SFAS 158"). Effective with the adoption of SFAS 158 on December 31, 2006, the Company recognizes the funded status of the Benefit Obligations for each of its plans on the consolidated balance sheet. The actuarial gains or losses, prior service costs and credits, and the remaining net transition asset or obligation that had not yet been included in net periodic benefit costs as of December 31, 2006 are now charged, net of income tax, to accumulated other F-23 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) comprehensive income. Additionally, these changes eliminated the additional minimum pension liability provisions of SFAS 87. Net periodic benefit cost is determined using management estimates and actuarial assumptions to derive service cost, interest cost, and expected return on plan assets for a particular year. Net periodic benefit cost also includes the applicable amortization of any prior service cost (credit) arising from the increase (decrease) in prior years' benefit costs due to plan amendments or initiation of new plans. These costs are amortized into net periodic benefit cost over the expected service years of employees whose benefits are affected by such plan amendments. Actual experience related to plan assets and/or the benefit obligations may differ from that originally assumed when determining net periodic benefit cost for a particular period, resulting in gains or losses. To the extent such aggregate gains or losses exceed 10 percent of the greater of the benefit obligations or the market-related asset value of the plans, they are amortized into net periodic benefit cost over the expected service years of employees expected to receive benefits under the plans. The obligations and expenses associated with these plans require an extensive use of assumptions such as the discount rate, expected rate of return on plan assets, rate of future compensation increases, healthcare cost trend rates, as well as assumptions regarding participant demographics such as rate and age of retirements, withdrawal rates and mortality. Management, in consultation with its external consulting actuarial firm, determines these assumptions based upon a variety of factors such as historical performance of the plan and its assets, currently available market and industry data, and expected benefit payout streams. The assumptions used may differ materially from actual results due to, among other factors, changing market and economic conditions and changes in participant demographics. These differences may have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements and liquidity. The Company also sponsors defined contribution savings and investment plans ("SIP") for substantially all employees under which a portion of participant contributions are matched. Applicable matching contributions are made each payroll period. Accordingly, the Company recognizes compensation cost for current matching contributions. As all contributions are transferred currently as earned to the SIP trust, no liability for matching contributions is recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation recognized in the Company's consolidated results of operations is allocated from the Holding Company. The accounting policies described below represent those that the Holding Company applies in determining such allocated expense. Stock-based compensation grants prior to January 1, 2003 were accounted for using the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB 25"), and related interpretations. Compensation expense, if any, was recorded based upon the excess of the quoted market price at grant date over the amount the employee was required to pay to acquire the stock. Under the provisions of APB 25, there was no compensation expense resulting from the issuance of stock options as the exercise price was equivalent to the fair market value at the date of grant. Compensation expense was recognized under the Long-Term Performance Compensation Plan ("LTPCP"), as described more fully in Note 16. Stock-based awards granted after December 31, 2002, but prior to January 1, 2006, were accounted for on a prospective basis using the fair value accounting method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS 123"), as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -- Transition and Disclosure ("SFAS 148"). The fair value method of SFAS 123 required compensation expense to be measured based on the fair value of the equity instrument at the grant or award date. Stock-based compensation was accrued over the vesting period of the grant or award, including grants or awards to F-24 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) retirement-eligible employees. As required by SFAS 148, the Company discloses the pro forma impact as if the stock options granted prior to January 1, 2003 had been accounted for using the fair value provisions of SFAS 123 rather than the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB 25. See Note 16. Effective January 1, 2006, the Holding Company adopted, using the modified prospective transition method, SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment ("SFAS 123(r)"), which replaces SFAS 123 and supersedes APB 25. The adoption of SFAS 123(r) did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. SFAS 123(r) requires that the cost of all stock-based transactions be measured at fair value and recognized over the period during which a grantee is required to provide goods or services in exchange for the award. Although the terms of the Holding Company's stock-based plans do not accelerate vesting upon retirement, or the attainment of retirement eligibility, the requisite service period subsequent to attaining such eligibility is considered nonsubstantive. Accordingly, the Company recognizes compensation expense related to stock-based awards over the shorter of the requisite service period or the period to attainment of retirement eligibility. SFAS 123(r) also requires an estimation of future forfeitures of stock-based awards to be incorporated into the determination of compensation expense when recognizing expense over the requisite service period. Foreign Currency Balance sheet accounts of foreign operations are translated at the exchange rates in effect at each year-end and income and expense accounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. The local currencies of foreign operations are the functional currencies unless the local economy is highly inflationary. Translation adjustments are charged or credited directly to other comprehensive income or loss. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are reported as net investment gains (losses) in the period in which they occur. Discontinued Operations The results of operations of a component of the Company that either has been disposed of or is classified as held-for-sale are reported in discontinued operations if the operations and cash flows of the component have been or will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Company as a result of the disposal transaction and the Company will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction. Litigation Contingencies The Company is a party to a number of legal actions and is involved in a number of regulatory investigations. Given the inherent unpredictability of these matters, it is difficult to estimate the impact on the Company's consolidated financial position. Liabilities are established when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. On a quarterly and annual basis, the Company reviews relevant information with respect to liabilities for litigation, regulatory investigations and litigation-related contingencies to be reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements. It is possible that an adverse outcome in certain of the Company's litigation and regulatory investigations, or the use of different assumptions in the determination of amounts recorded, could have a material effect upon the Company's consolidated net income or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods. F-25 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Defined Benefit and Other Postretirement Plans Effective December 31, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 158. The pronouncement revises financial reporting standards for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans by requiring the: (i) recognition in the statement of financial position of the funded status of defined benefit plans measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation, which is the projected benefit obligation for pension plans and the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for other postretirement plans; (ii) recognition as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of income tax, those amounts of actuarial gains and losses, prior service costs and credits, and net asset or obligation at transition that have not yet been included in net periodic benefit costs as of the end of the year of adoption; (iii) recognition of subsequent changes in funded status as a component of other comprehensive income; (iv) measurement of benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of the statement of financial position; and (v) disclosure of additional information about the effects on the employer's statement of financial position. The adoption of SFAS 158 resulted in a reduction of $749 million, net of income tax, to accumulated other comprehensive income, which is included as a component of total consolidated stockholder's equity. As the Company's measurement date for its pension and other postretirement benefit plans is already December 31 there is no impact of adoption due to changes in measurement date. See also Summary of "Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates" and Note 15. Stock Compensation Plans As described previously, effective January 1, 2006, the Holding Company adopted SFAS 123(r) including supplemental application guidance issued by the SEC in Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 107, Share-Based Payment ("SAB 107") -- using the modified prospective transition method. In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, results for prior periods have not been restated. SFAS 123(r) requires that the cost of all stock-based transactions be measured at fair value and recognized over the period during which a grantee is required to provide goods or services in exchange for the award. The Holding Company had previously adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock-based awards as prescribed by SFAS 123 on a prospective basis effective January 1, 2003, and prior to January 1, 2003, accounted for its stock-based awards to employees under the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB 25. The Holding Company did not modify the substantive terms of any existing awards prior to adoption of SFAS 123(r). Under the modified prospective transition method, compensation expense recognized during the year ended December 31, 2006 includes: (a) compensation expense for all stock-based awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and (b) compensation expense for all stock- based awards granted beginning January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(r). The adoption of SFAS 123(r) did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations as all stock-based awards accounted for under the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB 25 had vested prior to the adoption date and the Company, in conjunction with the Holding Company, had adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 on January 1, 2003. As required by SFAS 148, and F-26 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) carried forward in the provisions of SFAS 123(r), the Company discloses the pro forma impact as if stock-based awards accounted for under APB 25 had been accounted for under the fair value method in Note 16. SFAS 123 allowed forfeitures of stock-based awards to be recognized as a reduction of compensation expense in the period in which the forfeiture occurred. Upon adoption of SFAS 123(r), the Holding Company changed its policy and now incorporates an estimate of future forfeitures into the determination of compensation expense when recognizing expense over the requisite service period. The impact of this change in accounting policy was not significant to the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006. Additionally, for awards granted after adoption, the Holding Company changed its policy from recognizing expense for stock-based awards over the requisite service period to recognizing such expense over the shorter of the requisite service period or the period to attainment of retirement-eligibility. The pro forma impact of this change in expense recognition policy for stock- based compensation is detailed in Note 16. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(r), the Company presented tax benefits of deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options within operating cash flows in the consolidated statements of cash flows. SFAS 123(r) requires tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options be classified and reported as a financing cash inflow upon adoption of SFAS 123(r). Derivative Financial Instruments The Company has adopted guidance relating to derivative financial instruments as follows: - Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted prospectively SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments ("SFAS 155"). SFAS 155 amends SFAS 133 and SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities ("SFAS 140"). SFAS 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole, eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host, if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. In addition, among other changes, SFAS 155: (i) clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS 133; (ii) establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; (iii) clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and (iv) amends SFAS 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity ("QSPE") from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial interest. The adoption of SFAS 155 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. - Effective October 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 133 Implementation Issue No. B40, Embedded Derivatives: Application of Paragraph 13(b) to Securitized Interests in Prepayable Financial Assets ("Issue B40"). Issue B40 clarifies that a securitized interest in prepayable financial assets is not subject to the conditions in paragraph 13(b) of SFAS 133, if it meets both of the following criteria: (i) the right to accelerate the settlement if the securitized interest cannot be controlled by the investor; and (ii) the securitized interest itself does not contain an embedded derivative (including an interest rate-related F-27 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) derivative) for which bifurcation would be required other than an embedded derivative that results solely from the embedded call options in the underlying financial assets. The adoption of Issue B40 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. - Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted prospectively SFAS 133 Implementation Issue No. B38, Embedded Derivatives: Evaluation of Net Settlement with Respect to the Settlement of a Debt Instrument through Exercise of an Embedded Put Option or Call Option ("Issue B38") and SFAS 133 Implementation Issue No. B39, Embedded Derivatives: Application of Paragraph 13(b) to Call Options That Are Exercisable Only by the Debtor ("Issue B39"). Issue B38 clarifies that the potential settlement of a debtor's obligation to a creditor occurring upon exercise of a put or call option meets the net settlement criteria of SFAS 133. Issue B39 clarifies that an embedded call option, in which the underlying is an interest rate or interest rate index, that can accelerate the settlement of a debt host financial instrument should not be bifurcated and fair valued if the right to accelerate the settlement can be exercised only by the debtor (issuer/borrower) and the investor will recover substantially all of its initial net investment. The adoption of Issues B38 and B39 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Other Pronouncements Effective November 15, 2006, the Company adopted SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements ("SAB 108"). SAB 108 provides guidance on how prior year misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements for purposes of assessing materiality. SAB 108 requires that registrants quantify errors using both a balance sheet and income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that, when relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. SAB 108 permits companies to initially apply its provisions by either restating prior financial statements or recording a cumulative effect adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2006 with an offsetting adjustment to retained earnings for errors that were previously deemed immaterial but are material under the guidance in SAB 108. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted prospectively Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 05-7, Accounting for Modifications to Conversion Options Embedded in Debt Instruments and Related Issues ("EITF 05- 7"). EITF 05-7 provides guidance on whether a modification of conversion options embedded in debt results in an extinguishment of that debt. In certain situations, companies may change the terms of an embedded conversion option as part of a debt modification. The EITF concluded that the change in the fair value of an embedded conversion option upon modification should be included in the analysis of EITF Issue No. 96-19, Debtor's Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments, to determine whether a modification or extinguishment has occurred and that a change in the fair value of a conversion option should be recognized upon the modification as a discount (or premium) associated with the debt, and an increase (or decrease) in additional paid-in capital. The adoption of EITF 05-7 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted EITF Issue No. 05-8, Income Tax Consequences of Issuing Convertible Debt with a Beneficial Conversion Feature ("EITF 05-8"). EITF 05-8 concludes that: (i) the issuance of convertible debt with a beneficial conversion feature results in a basis difference that should be accounted for as a temporary difference; and (ii) the establishment of the deferred tax liability for the basis difference should result in an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. EITF 05-8 was applied retrospectively for all instruments with a beneficial conversion feature accounted for in accordance with EITF Issue No. 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable F-28 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Conversion Ratios, and EITF Issue No. 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments. The adoption of EITF 05-8 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 ("SFAS 154"). SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements for a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is deemed impracticable. It also requires that a change in the method of depreciation, amortization, or depletion for long-lived, non- financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate rather than a change in accounting principle. The adoption of SFAS 154 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In June 2005, the EITF reached consensus on Issue No. 04-5, Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights ("EITF 04-5"). EITF 04-5 provides a framework for determining whether a general partner controls and should consolidate a limited partnership or a similar entity in light of certain rights held by the limited partners. The consensus also provides additional guidance on substantive rights. EITF 04-5 was effective after June 29, 2005 for all newly formed partnerships and for any pre- existing limited partnerships that modified their partnership agreements after that date. For all other limited partnerships, EITF 04-5 required adoption by January 1, 2006 through a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle recorded in opening equity or applied retrospectively by adjusting prior period financial statements. The adoption of the provisions of EITF 04-5 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Effective November 9, 2005, the Company prospectively adopted the guidance in FASB Staff Position ("FSP") No. FAS 140-2, Clarification of the Application of Paragraphs 40(b) and 40(c) of FAS 140 ("FSP 140-2"). FSP 140-2 clarified certain criteria relating to derivatives and beneficial interests when considering whether an entity qualifies as a QSPE. Under FSP 140-2, the criteria must only be met at the date the QSPE issues beneficial interests or when a derivative financial instrument needs to be replaced upon the occurrence of a specified event outside the control of the transferor. The adoption of FSP 140-2 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 ("SFAS 153"). SFAS 153 amended prior guidance to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaced it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provisions of SFAS 153 were required to be applied prospectively for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 153 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted EITF Issue No. 05-6, Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements ("EITF 05-6"). EITF 05-6 provides guidance on determining the amortization period for leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination or acquired subsequent to lease inception. As required by EITF 05-6, the Company adopted this guidance on a prospective basis which had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In June 2005, the FASB completed its review of EITF Issue No. 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments ("EITF 03-1"). EITF 03-1 provides accounting guidance regarding the determination of when an impairment of debt and marketable equity securities and investments accounted for under the cost method should be considered other-than- temporary and recognized in income. EITF 03-1 also requires certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures for debt and marketable equity securities classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity under SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain F-29 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, that are impaired at the balance sheet date but for which an other-than-temporary impairment has not been recognized. The FASB decided not to provide additional guidance on the meaning of other-than-temporary impairment but has issued FSP Nos. FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments ("FSP 115-1"), which nullifies the accounting guidance on the determination of whether an investment is other-than-temporarily impaired as set forth in EITF 03-1. As required by FSP 115-1, the Company adopted this guidance on a prospective basis, which had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, and has provided the required disclosures. Effective July 1, 2004, the Company prospectively adopted FSP No. FAS 106- 2, Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 ("FSP 106-2"). FSP 106-2 provides accounting guidance to employers that sponsor postretirement health care plans that provide prescription drug benefits. The Company began receiving subsidies on prescription drug benefits during 2006 under the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the "Prescription Drug Act") based on the Company's determination that the prescription drug benefits offered under certain postretirement plans are actuarially equivalent to the benefits offered under Medicare Part D. The postretirement benefit plan assets and accumulated benefit obligation were remeasured to determine the effect of the expected subsidies on net periodic postretirement benefit cost. As a result, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was reduced by $213 million at July 1, 2004. See also Note 15. Effective July 1, 2004, the Company adopted EITF Issue No. 03-16, Accounting for Investments in Limited Liability Companies ("EITF 03-16"). EITF 03-16 provides guidance regarding whether a limited liability company should be viewed as similar to a corporation or similar to a partnership for purposes of determining whether a noncontrolling investment should be accounted for using the cost method or the equity method of accounting. EITF 03-16 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted Statement of Position ("SOP") 03-1, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate Accounts ("SOP 03-1"), as interpreted by a Technical Practice Aid ("TPA"), issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") and FSP No. FAS 97-1, Situations in Which Paragraphs 17(b) and 20 of FASB Statement No 97, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Long-Duration Contracts and for Realized Gains and Losses from the Sale of Investments, Permit or Require Accrual of an Unearned Revenue Liability. SOP 03-1 provides guidance on: (i) the classification and valuation of long-duration contract liabilities; (ii) the accounting for sales inducements; and (iii) separate account presentation and valuation. As a result of the adoption of SOP 03-1, effective January 1, 2004, the Company decreased the liability for future policyholder benefits for changes in the methodology relating to various guaranteed death and annuitization benefits and for determining liabilities for certain universal life insurance contracts by $8 million, which was reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting. This amount is net of corresponding changes in DAC, including VOBA and unearned revenue liability, under certain variable annuity and life contracts and income tax. Certain other contracts sold by the Company provide for a return through periodic crediting rates, surrender adjustments or termination adjustments based on the total return of a contractually referenced pool of assets owned by the Company. To the extent that such contracts are not accounted for as derivatives under the provisions of SFAS 133 and not already credited to the contract account balance, under SOP 03-1 the change relating to the fair value of the referenced pool of assets is recorded as a liability with the change in the liability recorded as policyholder benefits and claims. Prior to the adoption of SOP 03-1, the Company recorded the change in such liability as other comprehensive income. At adoption, this change decreased net income and increased other comprehensive income by $33 million, net of income tax, which were recorded as cumulative effects of changes in accounting. Effective with the adoption of SOP 03-1, costs associated with enhanced or bonus crediting rates to contractholders must be deferred and amortized over the life F-30 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) of the related contract using assumptions consistent with the amortization of DAC. Since the Company followed a similar approach prior to adoption of SOP 03- 1, the provisions of SOP 03-1 relating to sales inducements had no significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In accordance with SOP 03-1's guidance for the reporting of certain separate accounts, at adoption, the Company also reclassified $1.7 billion of separate account assets to general account investments and $1.7 billion of separate account liabilities to future policy benefits and PABs. This reclassification decreased net income and increased other comprehensive income by $27 million, net of income tax, which were reported as cumulative effects of changes in accounting. As a result of the adoption of SOP 03-1, the Company recorded a cumulative effect of a change in accounting of $52 million, net of income tax of $27 million, for the year ended December 31, 2004. FUTURE ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, the Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 permits all entities the option to measure most financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates and to report related unrealized gains and losses in earnings. The fair value option will generally be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is generally an irrevocable election. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is evaluating which eligible financial instruments, if any, it will elect to account for at fair value under SFAS 159 and the related impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In December 2006, the FASB issued FSP EITF 00-19-2, Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements ("FSP EITF 00-19-2"). FSP EITF 00-19-2 specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. FSP EITF 00-19-2 is effective immediately for registration payment arrangements and the financial instruments subject to those arrangements that are entered into or modified subsequent to December 21, 2006. For registration payment arrangements and financial instruments subject to those arrangements that were entered into prior to December 21, 2006, the guidance in the FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect FSP EITF 00-19-2 to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The guidance in SFAS 157 will be applied prospectively with the exception of: (i) block discounts of financial instruments; and (ii) certain financial and hybrid instruments measured at initial recognition under SFAS 133 which is to be applied retrospectively as of the beginning of initial adoption (a limited form of retrospective application). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157 on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Implementation of SFAS 157 will require additional disclosures in the Company's consolidated financial statements. In July 2006, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 13-2, Accounting for a Change or Projected Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a Leveraged Lease Transaction ("FSP 13-2"). FSP 13-2 amends SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, to require that a lessor review the projected timing of income tax cash flows generated by a leveraged lease annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that a change in timing has occurred or is projected to occur. In addition, FSP 13-2 requires that the change in the net investment balance resulting from the recalculation be recognized as a gain or loss from continuing operations in the same line item in which leveraged lease income is recognized in the year in which the assumption is changed. The guidance in FSP 13-2 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. F-31 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The Company does not expect FSP 13-2 to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes -- an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income tax recognized in a company's financial statements. FIN 48 requires companies to determine whether it is "more likely than not" that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any part of the benefit can be recorded in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on the recognition, measurement and classification of income tax uncertainties, along with any related interest and penalties. Previously recorded income tax benefits that no longer meet this standard are required to be charged to earnings in the period that such determination is made. FIN 48 will also require significant additional disclosures. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Based upon the Company's preliminary evaluation work, the Company expects to recognize a reduction to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings of between $10 million and $30 million. In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets -- an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 ("SFAS 156"). Among other requirements, SFAS 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in certain situations. SFAS 156 will be applied prospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect SFAS 156 to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In September 2005, the AICPA issued SOP 05-1, Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection with Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts ("SOP 05-1"). SOP 05-1 provides guidance on accounting by insurance enterprises for DAC on internal replacements of insurance and investment contracts other than those specifically described in SFAS No. 97, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Long- Duration Contracts and for Realized Gains and Losses from the Sale of Investments. SOP 05-1 defines an internal replacement as a modification in product benefits, features, rights, or coverages that occurs by the exchange of a contract for a new contract, or by amendment, endorsement, or rider to a contract, or by the election of a feature or coverage within a contract. It is effective for internal replacements occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. In addition, in February 2007 related TPAs were issued by the AICPA to provide further clarification of SOP 05-1. The TPAs are effective concurrently with the adoption of the SOP. Based on the Company's interpretation of SOP 05-1 and related TPAs, the adoption of SOP 05-1 will result in a reduction to DAC and VOBA relating primarily to the Company's group life and health insurance contracts that contain certain rate reset provisions. The Company estimates that the adoption of SOP 05-1 as of January 1, 2007 will result in a cumulative effect adjustment of between $180 million and $220 million, net of income tax, which will be recorded as a reduction to retained earnings. In addition, the Company estimates that accelerated DAC and VOBA amortization will reduce 2007 net income by approximately $15 million to $30 million, net of income tax. 2. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS On October 20, 2006, the Holding Company sold its subsidiary, Citicorp Life Insurance Company and its subsidiary, First Citicorp Life Insurance Company (collectively, "CLIC") to the Company for $135 million in cash consideration. The net assets of CLIC acquired by the Company were $154 million. The excess of the net assets of CLIC received over the purchase price resulted in an increase of $19 million in additional paid-in capital. In connection with the sale and merger of CLIC, the Holding Company contributed $17 million to the Company. See Note 16. F-32 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) On September 30, 2006, the Company acquired MetLife Retirement Services LLC ("MRS") (formerly, CitiStreet Retirement Services LLC), and its subsidiaries from an affiliate, Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company ("MTL") for approximately $58 million in cash consideration settled in the fourth quarter of 2006. The assets acquired are principally comprised of $52 million related to the value of customer relationships acquired ("VOCRA"). On July 1, 2005, the Holding Company completed the acquisition of The Travelers Insurance Company, excluding certain assets, most significantly, Primerica, from Citigroup Inc. ("Citigroup"), and substantially all of Citigroup's international insurance business (collectively, "Travelers"). On September 30, 2006, the Company received a capital contribution from the Holding Company of $377 million in the form of intangible assets related to the value of distribution agreements ("VODA") of $389 million, net of deferred income tax of $12 million, for which the Company receives the benefit. The VODA originated through the Holding Company's acquisition of Travelers and was transferred at its amortized cost basis. See Notes 7 and 16. Newbury Insurance Company, Limited which was sold to the Holding Company and New England Pension and Annuity Company which was sold to MTL, both in 2004, are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements until the respective dates of sale. See Note 19 for information on the disposition of P.T. Sejahtera ("MetLife Indonesia") and SSRM Holdings, Inc. ("SSRM"). 3.

The Company held foreign currency derivatives with notional amounts of $7.3 billion and $4.9 billion to hedge the exchange rate risk associated with foreign denominated fixed maturity securities at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Excluding investments in U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government corporations and agencies, the Company is not exposed to any significant concentration of credit risk in its fixed maturity securities portfolio. The Company held fixed maturity securities at estimated fair values that were below investment grade or not rated by an independent rating agency that totaled $12.0 billion and $10.2 billion at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. These securities had a net unrealized gain of $534 million and $388 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Non-income producing fixed maturity securities were $10 million at both December 31, 2006 and 2005.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, of gross unrealized loss related to its fixed maturity and equity securities.

As described more fully in Note 1, the Company performs a regular evaluation, on a security-by-security basis, of its investment holdings in accordance with its impairment policy in order to evaluate whether such securities are other-than-temporarily impaired. One of the criteria which the Company considers in its other-than-temporary impairment analysis is its intent and ability to hold securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of their value to an amount equal to or greater than cost or amortized cost. The Company's intent and ability to hold securities considers broad portfolio management objectives such as asset/liability duration management, issuer and industry segment exposures, interest rate views and the overall total return focus. In following these portfolio management objectives, changes in facts and circumstances that were present in past reporting periods may trigger a decision to sell securities that were held in prior reporting periods. Decisions to sell are based on current conditions or the Company's need to shift the portfolio to maintain its portfolio management objectives including liquidity needs or duration targets on asset/liability managed portfolios. The Company attempts to anticipate these types of changes and if a sale decision has been made on an impaired security and that security is not expected to recover prior to the expected time of sale, the security will be deemed other-than- temporarily impaired in the period that the sale decision was made and an other- than-temporary impairment loss will be recognized. Based upon the Company's current evaluation of the securities in accordance with its impairment policy, the cause of the decline being principally attributable to the general rise in rates during the holding period, and the Company's current intent and ability to hold the fixed maturity and equity securities with unrealized losses for a period of time sufficient for them to recover, the Company has concluded that the aforementioned securities are not other-than-temporarily impaired.

Interest rate swaps are used by the Company primarily to reduce market risks from changes in interest rates and to alter interest rate exposure arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities (duration mismatches). In an interest rate swap, the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed rate and floating rate interest amounts as calculated by reference to an agreed notional principal amount. These transactions are entered into pursuant to master agreements that provide for a single net payment to be made by the counterparty at each due date. The Company also enters into basis swaps to better match the cash flows from assets and related liabilities. In a basis swap, both legs of the swap are floating with each based on a different index. Generally, no cash is exchanged at the outset of the contract and no principal payments are made by either party. A single net payment is usually made by one counterparty at each due date. Basis swaps are included in interest rate swaps in the preceding table. Interest rate caps and floors are used by the Company primarily to protect its floating rate liabilities against rises in interest rates above a specified level, and against interest rate exposure arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities (duration mismatches), as well as to protect its minimum rate guarantee liabilities against declines in interest rates below a specified level, respectively. In exchange-traded interest rate (Treasury and swap) and equity futures transactions, the Company agrees to purchase or sell a specified number of contracts, the value of which is determined by the different classes of interest rate and equity securities, and to post variation margin on a daily basis in an amount equal to the difference in the daily market values of those contracts. The Company enters into exchange-traded futures with regulated futures commission merchants that are members of the exchange. Exchange-traded interest rate (Treasury and swap) futures are used primarily to hedge mismatches between the duration of assets in a portfolio and the duration of liabilities supported by those assets, to hedge against changes in value of securities the Company owns or anticipates acquiring, and to hedge against changes in interest rates on anticipated liability issuances by replicating Treasury or swap curve performance. The value of F-49 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) interest rate futures is substantially impacted by changes in interest rates and they can be used to modify or hedge existing interest rate risk. Exchange-traded equity futures are used primarily to hedge liabilities embedded in certain variable annuity products offered by the Company. Foreign currency derivatives, including foreign currency swaps, foreign currency forwards and currency option contracts, are used by the Company to reduce the risk from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with its assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. The Company also uses foreign currency forwards and swaps to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with certain of its net investments in foreign operations. In a foreign currency swap transaction, the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between one currency and another at a forward exchange rate calculated by reference to an agreed upon principal amount. The principal amount of each currency is exchanged at the inception and termination of the currency swap by each party. In a foreign currency forward transaction, the Company agrees with another party to deliver a specified amount of an identified currency at a specified future date. The price is agreed upon at the time of the contract and payment for such a contract is made in a different currency at the specified future date. The Company enters into currency option contracts that give it the right, but not the obligation, to sell the foreign currency amount in exchange for a functional currency amount within a limited time at a contracted price. The contracts may also be net settled in cash, based on differentials in the foreign exchange rate and the strike price. Currency option contracts are included in options in the preceding table. Swaptions are used by the Company primarily to sell, or monetize, embedded call options in its fixed rate liabilities. A swaption is an option to enter into a swap with an effective date equal to the exercise date of the embedded call and a maturity date equal to the maturity date of the underlying liability. The Company receives a premium for entering into the swaption. Swaptions are included in options in the preceding table. Equity index options are used by the Company primarily to hedge minimum guarantees embedded in certain variable annuity products offered by the Company. To hedge against adverse changes in equity indices, the Company enters into contracts to sell the equity index within a limited time at a contracted price. The contracts will be net settled in cash based on differentials in the indices at the time of exercise and the strike price. Equity index options are included in options in the preceding table. The Company enters into financial forwards to buy and sell securities. The price is agreed upon at the time of the contract and payment for such a contract is made at a specified future date. Equity variance swaps are used by the Company primarily to hedge minimum guarantees embedded in certain variable annuity products offered by the Company. In an equity variance swap, the Company agrees with another party to exchange amounts in the future, based on changes in equity volatility over a defined period. Equity variance swaps are included in financial forwards in the preceding table. Swap spread locks are used by the Company to hedge invested assets on an economic basis against the risk of changes in credit spreads. Swap spread locks are forward starting swaps where the Company agrees to pay a coupon based on a predetermined reference swap spread in exchange for receiving a coupon based on a floating rate. The Company has the option to cash settle with the counterparty in lieu of maintaining the swap after the effective date. Swap spread locks are included in financial forwards in the preceding table. Certain credit default swaps are used by the Company to hedge against credit-related changes in the value of its investments and to diversify its credit risk exposure in certain portfolios. In a credit default swap transaction, the Company agrees with another party, at specified intervals, to pay a premium to insure credit risk. If a credit F-50 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) event, as defined by the contract, occurs, generally the contract will require the swap to be settled gross by the delivery of par quantities of the referenced investment equal to the specified swap notional in exchange for the payment of cash amounts by the counterparty equal to the par value of the investment surrendered. Credit default swaps are also used to synthetically create investments that are either more expensive to acquire or otherwise unavailable in the cash markets. These transactions are a combination of a derivative and usually a U.S. Treasury or Agency security. A synthetic guaranteed interest contract ("GIC") is a contract that simulates the performance of a traditional GIC through the use of financial instruments. Under a synthetic GIC, the policyholder owns the underlying assets. The Company guarantees a rate return on those assets for a premium. Total rate of return swaps ("TRRs") are swaps whereby the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between the economic risk and reward of an asset or a market index and LIBOR, calculated by reference to an agreed notional principal amount. No cash is exchanged at the outset of the contract. Cash is paid and received over the life of the contract based on the terms of the swap. These transactions are entered into pursuant to master agreements that provide for a single net payment to be made by the counterparty at each due date. TRRs can be used as hedges or to synthetically create investments and are included in the other classification in the preceding table. HEDGING The following table presents the notional amounts and fair value of derivatives by type of hedge designation at:

FAIR VALUE HEDGES The Company designates and accounts for the following as fair value hedges when they have met the requirements of SFAS 133: (i) interest rate swaps to convert fixed rate investments to floating rate investments; F-51 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (ii) foreign currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency fair value exposure of foreign currency denominated investments and liabilities; and (iii) interest rate futures to hedge against changes in value of fixed rate securities. The Company recognized net investment gains (losses) representing the ineffective portion of all fair value hedges as follows:

All components of each derivative's gain or loss were included in the assessment of hedge ineffectiveness. There were no instances in which the Company discontinued fair value hedge accounting due to a hedged firm commitment no longer qualifying as a fair value hedge. CASH FLOW HEDGES The Company designates and accounts for the following as cash flow hedges, when they have met the requirements of SFAS 133: (i) interest rate swaps to convert floating rate investments to fixed rate investments; (ii) interest rate swaps to convert floating rate liabilities into fixed rate liabilities; (iii) foreign currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency cash flow exposure of foreign currency denominated investments and liabilities; and (iv) financial forwards to buy and sell securities. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company recognized no net investment gains (losses) as the ineffective portion of all cash flow hedges. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company recognized net investment gains (losses) of ($21) million and ($31) million, respectively, which represent the ineffective portion of all cash flow hedges. All components of each derivative's gain or loss were included in the assessment of hedge ineffectiveness. In certain instances, the Company discontinued cash flow hedge accounting because the forecasted transactions did not occur on the anticipated date or in the additional time period permitted by SFAS 133. The net amounts reclassified into net investment gains (losses) for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 related to such discontinued cash flow hedges were $3 million, $42 million and $29 million, respectively. There were no hedged forecasted transactions, other than the receipt or payment of variable interest payments for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. The following table presents the components of other comprehensive income (loss), before income tax, related to cash flow hedges:

F-52 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) At December 31, 2006, $52 million of the deferred net loss on derivatives accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) is expected to be reclassified to earnings during the year ending December 31, 2007. HEDGES OF NET INVESTMENTS IN FOREIGN OPERATIONS The Company uses forward exchange contracts, foreign currency swaps, options and non-derivative financial instruments to hedge portions of its net investments in foreign operations against adverse movements in exchange rates. The Company measures ineffectiveness on the forward exchange contracts based upon the change in forward rates. There was no ineffectiveness recorded for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. The Company's consolidated statements of stockholder's equity for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 include losses of $7 million, $27 million and $47 million, respectively, related to foreign currency contracts and non- derivative financial instruments used to hedge its net investments in foreign operations. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the cumulative foreign currency translation loss recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income related to these hedges was $91 million and $84 million, respectively. When net investments in foreign operations are sold or substantially liquidated, the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified to the consolidated statements of income, while a pro rata portion will be reclassified upon partial sale of the net investments in foreign operations. NON-QUALIFYING DERIVATIVES AND DERIVATIVES FOR PURPOSES OTHER THAN HEDGING The Company enters into the following derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133 or for purposes other than hedging: (i) interest rate swaps, purchased caps and floors, and interest rate futures to economically hedge its exposure to interest rate volatility; (ii) foreign currency forwards, swaps and option contracts to economically hedge its exposure to adverse movements in exchange rates; (iii) swaptions to sell embedded call options in fixed rate liabilities; (iv) credit default swaps to minimize its exposure to adverse movements in credit; (v) credit default swaps to diversify credit risk exposure to certain portfolios; (vi) equity futures, equity index options, interest rate futures and equity variance swaps to economically hedge liabilities embedded in certain variable annuity products; (vii) swap spread locks to economically hedge invested assets against the risk of changes in credit spreads; (viii) financial forwards to buy and sell securities; (ix) GICs to synthetically create traditional GICs; (x) credit default swaps and TRRs to synthetically create investments; and (xi) basis swaps to better match the cash flows of assets and related liabilities. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company recognized as net investment gains (losses), excluding embedded derivatives, changes in fair value of ($701) million, $372 million and ($141) million, respectively, related to derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting. EMBEDDED DERIVATIVES The Company has certain embedded derivatives which are required to be separated from their host contracts and accounted for as derivatives. These host contracts include guaranteed minimum withdrawal contracts, guaranteed minimum accumulation contracts and modified coinsurance contracts. The fair value of the Company's embedded derivative assets was $57 million and $50 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The fair value of the Company's embedded derivative liabilities was $113 million and $10 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The amounts recorded and included in net investment gains (losses) during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 were gains (losses) of $12 million, $29 million and $34 million, respectively. F-53 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) CREDIT RISK The Company may be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to derivative financial instruments. Generally, the current credit exposure of the Company's derivative contracts is limited to the fair value at the reporting date. The credit exposure of the Company's derivative transactions is represented by the fair value of contracts with a net positive fair value at the reporting date. The Company manages its credit risk related to over-the-counter derivatives by entering into transactions with creditworthy counterparties, maintaining collateral arrangements and through the use of master agreements that provide for a single net payment to be made by one counterparty to another at each due date and upon termination. Because exchange traded futures are effected through regulated exchanges, and positions are marked to market on a daily basis, the Company has minimal exposure to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to such derivative instruments. The Company enters into various collateral arrangements, which require both the pledging and accepting of collateral in connection with its derivative instruments. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company was obligated to return cash collateral under its control of $94 million and $34 million, respectively. This unrestricted cash collateral is included in cash and cash equivalents and the obligation to return it is included in payables for collateral under securities loaned and other transactions in the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had also accepted collateral consisting of various securities with a fair market value of $16 million and $0, respectively, which are held in separate custodial accounts. The Company is permitted by contract to sell or repledge this collateral, but as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, none of the collateral had been sold or repledged. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company provided collateral of $80 million and $0, respectively, which is included in fixed maturity securities in the consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Company has exchange traded futures, which require the pledging of collateral. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company pledged collateral of $23 million and $15 million, respectively, which is included in fixed maturity securities. The counterparties are permitted by contract to sell or repledge this collateral. F-54 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.)

The estimated future amortization expense allocated to other expenses for the next five years for VOBA is $67 million in 2007, $69 million in 2008, $66 million in 2009, $40 million in 2010, and $43 million in 2011. Amortization of VOBA and DAC is related to (i) investment gains and losses and the impact of such gains and losses on the amount of the amortization; (ii) unrealized investment gains and losses to provide information regarding the amount that would have been amortized if such gains and losses had been recognized; and F-55 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (iii) other expenses to provide amounts related to the gross margins or profits originating from transactions other than investment gains and losses. 6.

7. INSURANCE VALUE OF DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS AND CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS ACQUIRED VODA and VOCRA, which are reported within other assets in the consolidated balance sheet, were $439 million, net of amortization accumulation of $2 million, at December 31, 2006 due to the VODA of $389 million contributed by the Holding Company and the VOCRA of $52 million acquired from MRS. Amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $2 million. See Notes 2 and 16. The value of the other identifiable intangibles discussed above reflects the estimated fair value of Citigroup/Travelers distribution agreement and customer relationships acquired at the original acquisition date and will be amortized in relation to the expected economic benefits of the agreement. The weighted average amortization period of the other intangible assets is 16 years. If actual experience under the distribution agreements or with customer relationships differs from expectations, the amortization of these intangibles will be adjusted to reflect actual experience. The use of discount rates was necessary to establish the fair value of the other identifiable intangible assets. In selecting the appropriate discount rates, management considered its weighted average cost of capital as well as the weighted average cost of capital required by market participants. A discounted rate of 11.5% was used to value these intangible assets. The estimated future amortization expense allocated to other expenses for the next five years for VODA and VOCRA is $8 million in 2007, $12 million in 2008, $15 million in 2009, $18 million in 2010 and $21 million in 2011.

SEPARATE ACCOUNTS Separate account assets and liabilities include two categories of account types: pass-through separate accounts totaling $64.5 billion and $57.4 billion at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, for which the policyholder assumes all investment risk, and separate accounts with a minimum return or account value for which the Company contractually guarantees either a minimum return or account value to the policyholder which totaled $16.5 billion and $15.7 billion at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The latter category consisted primarily of Met Managed GICs and participating close-out contracts. The average interest rates credited on these contracts were 4.7% and 4.5% at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Fees charged to the separate accounts by the Company (including mortality charges, policy administration fees and surrender charges) are reflected in the Company's revenues as universal life and investment-type product policy fees and totaled $1.2 billion, $1.1 billion and $998 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company's proportional interest in separate accounts is included in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:

OBLIGATIONS UNDER GUARANTEED INTEREST CONTRACT PROGRAM The Company issues fixed and floating rate obligations under its GIC program which are denominated in either U.S. dollars or foreign currencies. During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company issued $5.2 billion, $4.0 billion and $4.0 billion, respectively, and repaid $1.5 billion, $1.1 billion and $150 million, respectively, of GICs under this program. Accordingly, at December 31, 2006 and 2005, GICs outstanding, which are included in policyholder account balances, were $16.8 billion and $12.1 billion, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, interest credited on the contracts, which are included in interest credited to policyholder account balances, was $673 million, $384 million and $142 million, respectively.

As a result of changes in estimates of insured events in the prior years, the claims and claim adjustment expenses decreased by $28 million in 2006 due to improved loss ratio liabilities for non-medical health claim liabilities and improved claims management. In 2005, the claims and claim adjustment expenses decreased by $41 million due to a refinement in the estimation methodology for non-medical health long- term care claim liabilities, improved loss ratio liabilities for non-medical health claim liabilities and improved claims management. In 2004, the claims and claim adjustment expenses decreased by $9 million due to improved loss ratios in non-medical health claim liabilities and improved claims management. GUARANTEES The Company issues annuity contracts which may include contractual guarantees to the contractholder for: (i) return of no less than total deposits made to the contract less any partial withdrawals ("return of net deposits"); and (ii) the highest contract value on a specified anniversary date minus any withdrawals following the contract anniversary, or total deposits made to the contract less any partial withdrawals plus a minimum return ("anniversary contract value" or "minimum return"). The Company also issues annuity contracts that apply a lower rate of funds deposited if the contractholder elects to surrender the contract for cash and a higher rate if the contractholder elects to annuitize ("two tier annuities"). These guarantees include benefits that are payable in the event of death or at annuitization. The Company also issues universal and variable life contracts where the Company contractually guarantees to the contractholder a secondary guarantee or a guaranteed paid up benefit.

8. REINSURANCE The Company's life insurance operations participate in reinsurance activities in order to limit losses, minimize exposure to large risks, and provide additional capacity for future growth. The Company has historically reinsured the mortality risk on new individual life insurance policies primarily on an excess of retention basis or a quota share basis. Until 2005, the Company reinsured up to 90% of the mortality risk for all new individual life insurance policies that it wrote through its various franchises. This practice was initiated by the different franchises for different products starting at various points in time between 1992 and 2000. During 2005, the Company changed its retention practices for certain individual life insurance. Amounts reinsured in prior years remain reinsured under the original reinsurance; however, under the new retention guidelines, the Company reinsures up to 90% of the mortality risk in excess of $1 million for most new individual life insurance policies that it writes through its various franchises and for certain individual life policies the retention limits remained unchanged. On a case by case basis, the Company may retain up to $25 million per life on single life individual policies and $30 million per life on survivorship individual policies and reinsure 100% of amounts in F-60 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) excess of the Company's retention limits. The Company evaluates its reinsurance programs routinely and may increase or decrease its retention at any time. In addition, the Company reinsures a significant portion of the mortality risk on its individual universal life policies issued since 1983. Placement of reinsurance is done primarily on an automatic basis and also on a facultative basis for risks with specific characteristics. In addition to reinsuring mortality risk as described above, the Company reinsures other risks, as well as specific coverages. The Company routinely reinsures certain classes of risks in order to limit its exposure to particular travel, avocation and lifestyle hazards. The Company has exposure to catastrophes, which could contribute to significant fluctuations in the Company's results of operations. The Company uses excess of retention and quota share reinsurance arrangements to provide greater diversification of risk and minimize exposure to larger risks. The Company had also protected itself through the purchase of combination risk coverage. This reinsurance coverage pooled risks from several lines of business and included individual and group life claims in excess of $2 million per policy. This combination risk coverage was commuted during 2005. The Company reinsures its business through a diversified group of reinsurers. No single unaffiliated reinsurer has a material obligation to the Company nor is the Company's business substantially dependent upon any reinsurance contracts. The Company is contingently liable with respect to ceded reinsurance should any reinsurer be unable to meet its obligations under these agreements. In the Reinsurance Segment, Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated ("RGA") retains a maximum of $6 million of coverage per individual life with respect to its assumed reinsurance business. The amounts in the consolidated statements of income are presented net of reinsurance ceded. Information regarding the effect of reinsurance is as follows:

Reinsurance recoverables, included in premiums and other receivables, were $5.2 billion and $3.8 billion at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, including $1.2 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, relating to reinsurance of long-term GICs and structured settlement lump sum contracts accounted for as a financing transaction, and $1.4 billion at December 31, 2006, relating to the reinsurance of investment-type contracts held by small market defined contribution plans. Reinsurance and ceded commissions payables, included in other liabilities, were $202 million and $263 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Included in premiums and other receivables are reinsurance due from Exeter Reassurance Company, Ltd., Texas Life Insurance Company ("TLIC''), First MetLife Investors Insurance Company, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut ("MICC"), MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company ("MLI USA"), and MetLife Investors Insurance Company, all of which are related parties, of $1.7 billion and $1.4 billion at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Included in future policy benefits, other policyholder funds, policyholder account balances, and other liabilities are reinsurance liabilities assumed from TLIC, MTL, First MetLife Investors Group, Inc., MetLife Investors Insurance Company, Exeter Reassurance Company, Ltd., MLI USA, and MICC related parties of F-61 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) $422 million, $278 million, $361 million and $4.5 billion at December 31, 2006. Included in future policy benefits, other policyholder funds, policyholder account balances, and other liabilities are reinsurance liabilities assumed from MTL, First MetLife Investors Insurance Company, MetLife Investors Insurance Company, MLI USA, MICC, Exeter Reassurance Company, Ltd. and TLIC, all of which are related parties, of $1.2 billion, $268 million, $389 million and $3.1 billion at December 31, 2005. On December 1, 2006, TLIC, an affiliate of the Company recaptured business previously ceded under a 2002 reinsurance treaty with the Company. The agreement required the Company to assume, on a co-insurance basis, certain structured settlement business from TLIC. The Company will transfer cash in the amount of $984 million, which represents the fair value of the returned future policy benefits. As a result of this transaction, the Company recognized an expense of $184 million. Effective January 1, 2005, a subsidiary of the Company, General American Life Insurance Company ("General American") entered into a reinsurance agreement to cede an in force block of business to MLI USA, an affiliate. This agreement covered certain term and universal life policies issued by General American on and after January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2004. This agreement also covers certain term and universal life policies issued on or after January 1, 2005. Under this agreement, General American transferred $797 million of liabilities and $411 million in assets to MLI USA related to the policies in-force as of December 31, 2004. As a result of the transfer of assets, General American recognized a realized gain of $19 million, net of income taxes. General American also received and deferred 100% of a $386 million ceding commission resulting in no gain or loss on the transfer of the in-force business as of January 1, 2005. For the policies issued on or after January 1, 2005, General American ceded premiums and related fees of $119 million and $192 million, respectively, and ceded benefits and related costs of $98 million and $143 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. Reinsurance recoverables, included in premiums and other receivables, related to this reinsurance agreement as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $1.0 billion and $932 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, reinsurance ceded and assumed include affiliated transactions of $508 million, $529 million and $466 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, premiums, policyholder benefits and claims, and commission expenses include assumed related party transactions of $42 million, $86 million and $30 million, and $37 million, $108 million and $137 million, respectively. 9. CLOSED BLOCK On April 7, 2000 (the "Demutualization Date"), Metropolitan Life converted from a mutual life insurance company to a stock life insurance company and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife, Inc. The conversion was pursuant to an order by the New York Superintendent of Insurance (the "Superintendent") approving Metropolitan Life's plan of reorganization, as amended (the "Plan"). On the Demutualization Date, Metropolitan Life established a closed block for the benefit of holders of certain individual life insurance policies of Metropolitan Life. Assets have been allocated to the closed block in an amount that has been determined to produce cash flows which, together with anticipated revenues from the policies included in the closed block, are reasonably expected to be sufficient to support obligations and liabilities relating to these policies, including, but not limited to, provisions for the payment of claims and certain expenses and taxes, and to provide for the continuation of policyholder dividend scales in effect for 1999, if the experience underlying such dividend scales continues, and for appropriate adjustments in such scales if the experience changes. At least annually, the Company compares actual and projected experience against the experience assumed in the then-current dividend scales. Dividend scales are adjusted periodically to give effect to changes in experience. The closed block assets, the cash flows generated by the closed block assets and the anticipated revenues from the policies in the closed block will benefit only the holders of the policies in the closed block. To the extent F-62 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) that, over time, cash flows from the assets allocated to the closed block and claims and other experience related to the closed block are, in the aggregate, more or less favorable than what was assumed when the closed block was established, total dividends paid to closed block policyholders in the future may be greater than or less than the total dividends that would have been paid to these policyholders if the policyholder dividend scales in effect for 1999 had been continued. Any cash flows in excess of amounts assumed will be available for distribution over time to closed block policyholders and will not be available to stockholders. If the closed block has insufficient funds to make guaranteed policy benefit payments, such payments will be made from assets outside of the closed block. The closed block will continue in effect as long as any policy in the closed block remains in-force. The expected life of the closed block is over 100 years. The Company uses the same accounting principles to account for the participating policies included in the closed block as it used prior to the Demutualization Date. However, the Company establishes a policyholder dividend obligation for earnings that will be paid to policyholders as additional dividends as described below. The excess of closed block liabilities over closed block assets at the effective date of the demutualization (adjusted to eliminate the impact of related amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income) represents the estimated maximum future earnings from the closed block expected to result from operations attributed to the closed block after income taxes. Earnings of the closed block are recognized in income over the period the policies and contracts in the closed block remain in-force. Management believes that over time the actual cumulative earnings of the closed block will approximately equal the expected cumulative earnings due to the effect of dividend changes. If, over the period the closed block remains in existence, the actual cumulative earnings of the closed block is greater than the expected cumulative earnings of the closed block, the Company will pay the excess of the actual cumulative earnings of the closed block over the expected cumulative earnings to closed block policyholders as additional policyholder dividends unless offset by future unfavorable experience of the closed block and, accordingly, will recognize only the expected cumulative earnings in income with the excess recorded as a policyholder dividend obligation. If over such period, the actual cumulative earnings of the closed block is less than the expected cumulative earnings of the closed block, the Company will recognize only the actual earnings in income. However, the Company may change policyholder dividend scales in the future, which would be intended to increase future actual earnings until the actual cumulative earnings equal the expected cumulative earnings.

Each PIERS unit consists of: (i) a preferred security issued by the Trust, having a stated liquidation amount of $50 per unit, representing an undivided beneficial ownership interest in the assets of the Trust, which consist solely of junior subordinated debentures issued by RGA which have a principal amount at maturity of $50 and a stated maturity of March 18, 2051; and (ii) a warrant to purchase, at any time prior to December 15, 2050, 1.2508 shares of RGA stock at an exercise price of $50. The fair market value of the warrant on the issuance date was $14.87 and is detachable from the preferred security. RGA fully and unconditionally guarantees, on a subordinated basis, the obligations of the Trust under the preferred securities. The preferred securities and subordinated debentures were issued at a discount (original issue discount) to the face or liquidation value of $14.87 per security. The securities will accrete to their $50 face/liquidation value over the life of the security on a level yield basis. The weighted average effective interest rate on the preferred securities and the subordinated debentures is 8.25% per annum. Capital securities outstanding were $159 million, net of unamortized discounts of $66 million at both December 31, 2006 and 2005.

The Company is under continuous examination by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and other tax authorities in jurisdictions in which the Company has significant business operations. The income tax years under examination vary by jurisdiction. In 2004, the Company recorded an adjustment of $91 million for the settlement of all federal income tax issues relating to the IRS's audit of the Company's tax returns for the years 1997-1999. Such settlement is reflected in the current year tax expense as an adjustment to prior year tax. The Company also received $22 million in interest on such settlements and incurred an $8 million tax expense on such settlement for a total impact to net income of $105 million. The current IRS examination covers the years 2000-2002 and the Company expects it to be completed in 2007. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of additional assessments in each taxing jurisdiction resulting from current and subsequent years' examinations. Liabilities for income tax have been established for future income tax assessments when it is probable there will be future assessments and the amount thereof can be reasonably estimated. Once established, liabilities for uncertain tax positions are adjusted only when there is more information available or when an event occurs necessitating a change to the liabilities. The Company believes that the resolution of income tax matters for open F-69 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) years will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements although the resolution of income tax matters could impact the Company's effective tax rate for a particular future period. Deferred income tax represents the tax effect of the differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Net deferred income tax assets and liabilities consisted of the following:
DECEMBER 31, --------------- 2006 2005 ------ ------ (IN MILLIONS) Deferred income tax assets: Policyholder liabilities and receivables................ $2,122 $2,477 Net operating loss carryforwards........................ 788 574 Employee benefits....................................... 440 23 Capital loss carryforwards.............................. -- 59 Tax credit carryforwards................................ -- 100 Litigation-related...................................... 62 62 Other................................................... 32 42 ------ ------ 3,444 3,337 Less: Valuation allowance............................... 11 9 ------ ------ 3,433 3,328 ------ ------ Deferred income tax liabilities: Investments............................................. 1,475 1,802 DAC..................................................... 3,441 3,134 Net unrealized investment gains......................... 968 1,029 Other................................................... 2 92 ------ ------ 5,886 6,057 ------ ------ Net deferred income tax liability......................... $2,453 $2,729 ====== ======
Domestic net operating loss carryforwards amount to $2.2 billion at December 31, 2006 and will expire beginning in 2016. Foreign net operating loss carryforwards amount to $50 million at December 31, 2006 and were generated in various foreign countries with expiration periods of five years to infinity. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance related to tax benefits of certain foreign net operating loss carryforwards. The valuation allowance reflects management's assessment, based on available information, that it is more likely than not that the deferred income tax asset for certain foreign net operating loss carryforwards will not be realized. The tax benefit will be recognized when management believes that it is more likely than not that these deferred income tax assets are realizable. In 2006, the Company recorded $2 million of additional deferred income tax valuation allowance related to certain foreign net operating loss carryforwards. 14. CONTINGENCIES, COMMITMENTS, AND GUARANTEES CONTINGENCIES LITIGATION The Company is a defendant in a large number of litigation matters. In some of the matters, very large and/or indeterminate amounts, including punitive and treble damages, are sought. Modern pleading practice in the United States permits considerable variation in the assertion of monetary damages or other relief. F-70 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Jurisdictions may permit claimants not to specify the monetary damages sought or may permit claimants to state only that the amount sought is sufficient to invoke the jurisdiction of the trial court. In addition, jurisdictions may permit plaintiffs to allege monetary damages in amounts well exceeding reasonably possible verdicts in the jurisdiction for similar matters. This variability in pleadings, together with the actual experience of the Company in litigating or resolving through settlement numerous claims over an extended period of time, demonstrate to management that the monetary relief which may be specified in a lawsuit or claim bears little relevance to its merits or disposition value. Thus, unless stated below, the specific monetary relief sought is not noted. Due to the vagaries of litigation, the outcome of a litigation matter and the amount or range of potential loss at particular points in time may normally be inherently impossible to ascertain with any degree of certainty. Inherent uncertainties can include how fact finders will view individually and in their totality documentary evidence, the credibility and effectiveness of witnesses' testimony, and how trial and appellate courts will apply the law in the context of the pleadings or evidence presented, whether by motion practice, or at trial or on appeal. Disposition valuations are also subject to the uncertainty of how opposing parties and their counsel will themselves view the relevant evidence and applicable law. On a quarterly and yearly basis, the Company reviews relevant information with respect to liabilities for litigation and contingencies to be reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The review includes senior legal and financial personnel. Unless stated below, estimates of possible additional losses or ranges of loss for particular matters cannot in the ordinary course be made with a reasonable degree of certainty. Liabilities are established when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities have been established for a number of the matters noted below. It is possible that some of the matters could require the Company to pay damages or make other expenditures or establish accruals in amounts that could not be estimated as of December 31, 2006. Demutualization Actions Several lawsuits were brought in 2000 challenging the fairness of Metropolitan Life's plan of reorganization, as amended and the adequacy and accuracy of Metropolitan Life's disclosure to policyholders regarding the Plan. These actions discussed below named as defendants some or all of Metropolitan Life, the Holding Company, the individual directors, the Superintendent and the underwriters for MetLife, Inc.'s initial public offering, Goldman Sachs & Company and Credit Suisse First Boston. Metropolitan Life, the Holding Company, and the individual directors believe they have meritorious defenses to the plaintiffs' claims and are contesting vigorously all of the plaintiffs' claims in these actions. Fiala, et al. v. Metropolitan Life Ins. Co., et al. (Sup. Ct., N.Y. County, filed March 17, 2000). Another putative class action filed in New York State court in Kings County has been consolidated with this action. The plaintiffs in the consolidated state court class actions seek compensatory relief and punitive damages. In 2003, the trial court granted the defendants' motions to dismiss these two putative class actions. In 2004, the appellate court modified the trial court's order by reinstating certain claims against Metropolitan Life, the Holding Company and the individual directors. Plaintiffs in these actions have filed a consolidated amended complaint. On January 30, 2007, the trial court signed an order certifying a litigation class for plaintiffs' claim that defendants violated section 7312 of the New York Insurance Law, but denying plaintiffs' motion to certify a litigation class with respect to a common law fraud claim. The January 30, 2007 order implemented the trial court's May 2, 2006 memorandum deciding plaintiffs' class certification motion. Defendants have filed a notice of appeal from this decision. Meloy, et al. v. Superintendent of Ins., et al. ( Sup. Ct., N.Y. County, filed April 14, 2000). Five persons brought a proceeding under Article 78 of New York's Civil Practice Law and Rules challenging the Opinion and Decision of the Superintendent who approved the Plan. In this proceeding, petitioners sought to vacate the Superintendent's Opinion and Decision and enjoin him from granting final approval of the Plan. On F-71 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) November 10, 2005, the trial court granted respondents' motions to dismiss this proceeding. On March 15, 2007, the appellate court dismissed petitioners' appeal. In re MetLife Demutualization Litig. (E.D.N.Y., filed April 18, 2000). In this class action against Metropolitan Life and the Holding Company, plaintiffs served a second consolidated amended complaint in 2004. Plaintiffs assert violations of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in connection with the Plan, claiming that the Policyholder Information Booklets failed to disclose certain material facts and contained certain material misstatements. They seek rescission and compensatory damages. On June 22, 2004, the court denied the defendants' motion to dismiss the claim of violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The court had previously denied defendants' motion to dismiss the claim for violation of the Securities Act of 1933. In 2004, the court reaffirmed its earlier decision denying defendants' motion for summary judgment as premature. On July 19, 2005, this federal trial court certified this lawsuit as a class action against Metropolitan Life and the Holding Company. Fotia, et al. v. MetLife, Inc., et al. (Ont. Super. Ct., filed April 3, 2001). This lawsuit was filed in Ontario, Canada on behalf of a proposed class of certain former Canadian policyholders against the Holding Company, Metropolitan Life, and Metropolitan Life Insurance Company of Canada. Plaintiffs' allegations concern the way that their policies were treated in connection with the demutualization of Metropolitan Life; they seek damages, declarations, and other non-pecuniary relief. Asbestos-Related Claims Metropolitan Life is and has been a defendant in a large number of asbestos-related suits filed primarily in state courts. These suits principally allege that the plaintiff or plaintiffs suffered personal injury resulting from exposure to asbestos and seek both actual and punitive damages. Metropolitan Life has never engaged in the business of manufacturing, producing, distributing or selling asbestos or asbestos-containing products nor has Metropolitan Life issued liability or workers' compensation insurance to companies in the business of manufacturing, producing, distributing or selling asbestos or asbestos- containing products. The lawsuits principally have focused on allegations with respect to certain research, publication and other activities of one or more of Metropolitan Life's employees during the period from the 1920's through approximately the 1950's and allege that Metropolitan Life learned or should have learned of certain health risks posed by asbestos and, among other things, improperly publicized or failed to disclose those health risks. Metropolitan Life believes that it should not have legal liability in these cases. The outcome of most asbestos litigation matters, however, is uncertain and can be impacted by numerous variables, including differences in legal rulings in various jurisdictions, the nature of the alleged injury, and factors unrelated to the ultimate legal merit of the claims asserted against Metropolitan Life. Metropolitan Life employs a number of resolution strategies to manage its asbestos loss exposure, including seeking resolution of pending litigation by judicial rulings and settling litigation under appropriate circumstances. Claims asserted against Metropolitan Life have included negligence, intentional tort and conspiracy concerning the health risks associated with asbestos. Metropolitan Life's defenses (beyond denial of certain factual allegations) include that: (i) Metropolitan Life owed no duty to the plaintiffs -- it had no special relationship with the plaintiffs and did not manufacture, produce, distribute or sell the asbestos products that allegedly injured plaintiffs; (ii) plaintiffs did not rely on any actions of Metropolitan Life; (iii) Metropolitan Life's conduct was not the cause of the plaintiffs' injuries; (iv) that plaintiffs' exposure occurred after the dangers of asbestos were known; and (v) the applicable time with respect to filing suit has expired. Since 2002, trial courts in California, Utah, Georgia, New York, Texas, and Ohio have granted motions dismissing claims against Metropolitan Life. Some courts have denied Metropolitan Life's motions to dismiss. There can be no assurance that Metropolitan Life will receive favorable decisions on motions in the future. While most cases brought to date F-72 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) have settled, Metropolitan Life intends to continue to defend aggressively against claims based on asbestos exposure. The approximate total number of asbestos personal injury claims pending against Metropolitan Life as of the dates indicated, the approximate number of new claims during the years ended on those dates and the approximate total settlement payments made to resolve asbestos personal injury claims during those years are set forth in the following table:
AT OR FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, ----------------------------- 2006 2005 2004 ------- -------- -------- (IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT NUMBER OF CLAIMS) Asbestos personal injury claims at year end (approximate)................................. 87,070 100,250 108,000 Number of new claims during the year (approximate)................................. 7,870 18,500 23,900 Settlement payments during the year(1).......... $ 35.5 $ 74.3 $ 85.5
-------- (1) Settlement payments represent payments made by Metropolitan Life during the year in connection with settlements made in that year and in prior years. Amounts do not include Metropolitan Life's attorneys' fees and expenses and do not reflect amounts received from insurance carriers. In 2003, Metropolitan Life received approximately 58,750 new claims, ending the year with a total of approximately 111,700 claims, and paid approximately $84.2 million for settlements reached in 2003 and prior years. The number of asbestos cases that may be brought or the aggregate amount of any liability that Metropolitan Life may ultimately incur is uncertain. The Company believes adequate provision has been made in its consolidated financial statements for all probable and reasonably estimable losses for asbestos-related claims. Metropolitan Life's recorded asbestos liability is based on Metropolitan Life's estimation of the following elements, as informed by the facts presently known to it, its understanding of current law, and its past experiences: (i) the reasonably probable and estimable liability for asbestos claims already asserted against Metropolitan Life including claims settled but not yet paid; (ii) the reasonably probable and estimable liability for asbestos claims not yet asserted against Metropolitan Life, but which Metropolitan Life believes are reasonably probable of assertion; and (iii) the legal defense costs associated with the foregoing claims. Significant assumptions underlying Metropolitan Life's analysis of the adequacy of its liability with respect to asbestos litigation include: (i) the number of future claims; (ii) the cost to resolve claims; and (iii) the cost to defend claims. Metropolitan Life regularly re-evaluates its exposure from asbestos litigation, including studying its claims experience, reviewing external literature regarding asbestos claims experience in the United States, assessing relevant trends impacting asbestos liability and considering numerous variables that can affect its asbestos liability exposure on an overall or per claim basis. These variables include bankruptcies of other companies involved in asbestos litigation, legislative and judicial developments, the number of pending claims involving serious disease, the number of new claims filed against it and other defendants, and the jurisdictions in which claims are pending. As previously disclosed, in 2002 Metropolitan Life increased its recorded liability for asbestos-related claims by $402 million from approximately $820 million to $1,225 million. Metropolitan Life regularly re-evaluates its exposure from asbestos litigation and has updated its liability analysis for asbestos-related claims through December 31, 2006. The ability of Metropolitan Life to estimate its ultimate asbestos exposure is subject to considerable uncertainty and the conditions impacting its liability can be dynamic and subject to change. The availability of reliable data is limited and it is difficult to predict with any certainty the numerous variables that can affect liability estimates, including the number of future claims, the cost to resolve claims, the disease mix and severity of disease in pending and future claims, the impact of the number of new claims filed in a particular jurisdiction F-73 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) and variations in the law in the jurisdictions in which claims are filed, the possible impact of tort reform efforts, the willingness of courts to allow plaintiffs to pursue claims against Metropolitan Life when exposure to asbestos took place after the dangers of asbestos exposure were well known, and the impact of any possible future adverse verdicts and their amounts. The ability to make estimates regarding ultimate asbestos exposure declines significantly as the estimates relate to years further in the future. In the Company's judgment, there is a future point after which losses cease to be reasonably probable and estimable. It is reasonably possible that the Company's total exposure to asbestos claims may be materially greater than the asbestos liability currently accrued and that future charges to income may be necessary. While the potential future charges could be material in the particular quarterly or annual periods in which they are recorded, based on information currently known by management, management does not believe any such charges are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position. During 1998, Metropolitan Life paid $878 million in premiums for excess insurance policies for asbestos-related claims. The excess insurance policies for asbestos-related claims provide for recovery of losses up to $1.5 billion, which is in excess of a $400 million self-insured retention. The asbestos- related policies are also subject to annual and per-claim sublimits. Amounts are recoverable under the policies annually with respect to claims paid during the prior calendar year. Although amounts paid by Metropolitan Life in any given year that may be recoverable in the next calendar year under the policies will be reflected as a reduction in the Company's operating cash flows for the year in which they are paid, management believes that the payments will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity. Each asbestos-related policy contains an experience fund and a reference fund that provides for payments to Metropolitan Life at the commutation date if the reference fund is greater than zero at commutation or pro rata reductions from time to time in the loss reimbursements to Metropolitan Life if the cumulative return on the reference fund is less than the return specified in the experience fund. The return in the reference fund is tied to performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. A claim with respect to the prior year was made under the excess insurance policies in each of 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 for the amounts paid with respect to asbestos litigation in excess of the retention. As the performance of the indices impacts the return in the reference fund, it is possible that loss reimbursements to the Company and the recoverable amount with respect to later periods may be less than the amount of the recorded losses. Foregone loss reimbursements may be recovered upon commutation depending upon future performance of the reference fund. If at some point in the future, the Company believes the liability for probable and reasonably estimable losses for asbestos-related claims should be increased, an expense would be recorded and the insurance recoverable would be adjusted subject to the terms, conditions and limits of the excess insurance policies. Portions of the change in the insurance recoverable would be recorded as a deferred gain and amortized into income over the estimated remaining settlement period of the insurance policies. The foregone loss reimbursements were approximately $8.3 million with respect to 2002 claims, $15.5 million with respect to 2003 claims, $15.1 million with respect to 2004 claims, $12.7 million with respect to 2005 claims, and estimated to be approximately $5.0 million with respect to 2006 claims and are estimated, as of December 31, 2006, to be approximately $72.2 million in the aggregate, including future years. Sales Practices Claims Over the past several years, Metropolitan Life, New England Mutual Life Insurance Company ("New England Mutual"), New England Life Insurance Company ("NELICO") and General American Life Insurance Company ("General American"), have faced numerous claims, including class action lawsuits, alleging improper marketing and sales of individual life insurance policies or annuities. In addition, claims have been brought relating to the sale of mutual funds and other products. F-74 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) As of December 31, 2006, there were approximately 280 sales practices litigation matters pending against Metropolitan Life; approximately 41 sales practices litigation matters pending against New England Mutual, New England Life Insurance Company, and New England Securities Corporation (collectively, "New England"); and approximately 37 sales practices litigation matters pending against General American. Metropolitan Life, New England, and General American, continue to vigorously defend against the claims in these matters. Some sales practices claims have been resolved through settlement, others have been won by dispositive motions or have gone to trial. Most of the current cases seek substantial damages, including in some cases punitive and treble damages and attorneys' fees. Additional litigation relating to the Company's marketing and sales of individual life insurance, mutual funds and other products may be commenced in the future. Two putative class action lawsuits involving sales practices claims were filed against Metropolitan Life in Canada. In Jacynthe Evoy-Larouche v. Metropolitan Life Ins. Co. (Que. Super. Ct., filed March 1998), plaintiff alleges misrepresentations regarding dividends and future payments for life insurance policies and seeks unspecified damages. In Ace Quan v. Metropolitan Life Ins. Co. (Ont. Gen. Div., filed April 1997), plaintiff alleges breach of contract and negligent misrepresentations relating to, among other things, life insurance premium payments and seeks damages, including punitive damages. By agreement of the parties, Metropolitan Life has not yet filed a response in this action. Regulatory authorities in a small number of states have had investigations or inquiries relating to Metropolitan Life's, New England's, or General American's sales of individual life insurance policies or annuities or other products. Over the past several years, these and a number of investigations by other regulatory authorities were resolved for monetary payments and certain other relief. The Company may continue to resolve investigations in a similar manner. The Company believes adequate provision has been made in its consolidated financial statements for all probable and reasonably estimable losses for sales practices claims against Metropolitan Life, New England, and General American. Regulatory Matters and Related Litigation Regulatory bodies have contacted the Company and have requested information relating to market timing and late trading of mutual funds and variable insurance products and, generally, the marketing of products. The Company believes that many of these inquiries are similar to those made to many financial services companies as part of industry-wide investigations by various regulatory agencies. The SEC has commenced an investigation with respect to market timing and late trading in a limited number of privately-placed variable insurance contracts that were sold through General American. As previously reported, in May 2004, General American received a Wells Notice stating that the SEC staff is considering recommending that the SEC bring a civil action alleging violations of the U.S. securities laws against General American. Under the SEC procedures, General American can avail itself of the opportunity to respond to the SEC staff before it makes a formal recommendation regarding whether any action alleging violations of the U.S. securities laws should be considered. General American has responded to the Wells Notice. The Company is fully cooperating with regard to these information requests and investigations. The Company at the present time is not aware of any systemic problems with respect to such matters that may have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position. In December 2006, Metropolitan Life resolved a previously disclosed investigation by the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York related to payments to intermediaries in the marketing and sale of group life and disability, group long-term care and group accidental death and dismemberment insurance and related matters. In the settlement, Metropolitan Life did not admit liability as to any issue of fact or law. Among other things, Metropolitan Life has agreed to certain business reforms relating to compensation of producers of group insurance, compensation disclosures to group insurance clients and the adoption of related standards of conduct, some of which it had implemented following the commencement of the investigation. Metropolitan Life has paid a fine and has made a payment to a restitution fund. It is the opinion of management that F-75 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Metropolitan Life's resolution of this matter will not adversely affect its business. The Holding Company and/or subsidiaries have received subpoenas and/or other discovery requests from regulators, state attorneys general or other governmental authorities in other states, including Connecticut, Massachusetts, California, Florida and Ohio seeking, among other things, information and documents regarding contingent commission payments to brokers, the Holding Company's and/or subsidiaries' awareness of any "sham" bids for business, bids and quotes that the Holding Company and/or subsidiaries submitted to potential customers, incentive agreements entered into with brokers, or compensation paid to intermediaries. The Holding Company and/or subsidiaries also have received a subpoena from the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of California asking for documents regarding the insurance broker, Universal Life Resources. The Holding Company and/or subsidiaries continue to cooperate fully with these inquiries and are responding to the subpoenas and other discovery requests. Approximately sixteen broker-related lawsuits in which the Holding Company and/or subsidiaries were named as a defendant were filed. Voluntary dismissals and consolidations have reduced the number of pending actions to two: The People of the State of California, by and through John Garamendi, Ins. Commissioner of the State of California v. MetLife, Inc., et al. (Cal. Super. Ct., County of San Diego, filed November 18, 2004). The California Insurance Commissioner filed suit against Metropolitan Life and other non-affiliated companies alleging that the defendants violated certain provisions of the California Insurance Code. This action seeks injunctive relief relating to compensation disclosures. In Re Ins. Brokerage Antitrust Litig. (D. N.J., filed in February 24, 2005). In this multi-district proceeding, plaintiffs have filed an amended class action complaint consolidating the claims from separate actions that had been filed in or transferred to the District of New Jersey in 2004 and 2005. The consolidated amended complaint alleges that the Holding Company, Metropolitan Life, several non-affiliated insurance companies and several insurance brokers violated RICO, ERISA, and antitrust laws and committed other misconduct in the context of providing insurance to employee benefit plans and to persons who participate in such employee benefit plans. Plaintiffs seek to represent classes of employers that established employee benefit plans and persons who participated in such employee benefit plans. A motion for class certification has been filed. A motion to dismiss has not been fully decided. Plaintiffs in several other actions have voluntarily dismissed their claims. The Holding Company and/or subsidiaries are vigorously defending against the claims in these matters. In February 2006, the Company learned that the SEC commenced a formal investigation of New England Securities ("NES") in connection with the suitability of its sales of variable universal life insurance policies. The Company believes that others in the insurance industry are the subject of similar investigations by the SEC. NES is cooperating fully with the SEC. Other Litigation Roberts, et al. v. Tishman Speyer Properties, et al. (Sup. Ct., N.Y. County, filed January 22, 2007). This lawsuit was filed by a putative class of "market rate" tenants at Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village against parties including Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company and Metropolitan Insurance and Annuity Company. Metropolitan Life was initially a named defendant but the action has been discontinued as to Metropolitan Life since it did not own the properties during the time period in question. This group of tenants claims that the MetLife entities, and since the sale of the properties, Tishman Speyer as current owner, improperly charged market rents when only lower regulated rents were permitted. The allegations are based on the impact of so- called J-51 tax abatements. The lawsuit seeks declaratory relief and damages. A second purported class action, originally titled Carroll v. Tishman Speyer Properties, et. al (Sup. Ct., N.Y. County, filed February 14, 2007), was filed against the same defendants alleging similar claims as in the Roberts case, and in addition includes a claim of unjust enrichment and purported violation of New York General Business Law F-76 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Section 349. The Carroll action was consolidated into the Roberts action, and the MetLife entities are vigorously defending against these claims. Brubaker, et al. v. Metropolitan Life Ins. Co., et al. (D.C. Cir, filed October 20, 2000). Plaintiffs, in this putative class action lawsuit, allege that they were denied certain ad hoc pension increases awarded to retirees under the Metropolitan Life retirement plan. The ad hoc pension increases were awarded only to retirees (i.e., individuals who were entitled to an immediate retirement benefit upon their termination of employment) and not available to individuals like these plaintiffs whose employment, or whose spouses' employment, had terminated before they became eligible for an immediate retirement benefit. The plaintiffs seek to represent a class consisting of former Metropolitan Life employees, or their surviving spouses, who are receiving deferred vested annuity payments under the retirement plan and who were allegedly eligible to receive the ad hoc pension increases. In September 2005, Metropolitan Life's motion for summary judgment was granted. Plaintiffs' motion for reconsideration was denied. Plaintiffs appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The court heard oral argument on March 15, 2007. The American Dental Association, et al. v. MetLife Inc., et al. (S.D. Fla., filed May 19, 2003). The American Dental Association and three individual providers have sued the Holding Company, Metropolitan Life, and other non- affiliated insurance companies in a putative class action lawsuit. The plaintiffs purport to represent a nationwide class of in-network providers who allege that their claims are being wrongfully reduced by downcoding, bundling, and the improper use and programming of software. The complaint alleges federal racketeering and various state law theories of liability. The district court has granted in part and denied in part Metropolitan Life's and the Holding Company's motion to dismiss. Metropolitan Life and the Holding Company have filed another motion to dismiss. The court has issued a tag-along order, related to a medical managed care trial, which stays the lawsuit indefinitely. Thomas, et al. v. Metropolitan Life Ins. Co., et al. (W.D. Okla., filed January 31, 2007). A putative class action complaint was filed against Metropolitan Life, MetLife Securities, Inc. and MetLife Investment Advisors Company, LLC. Plaintiff asserts legal theories of violations of the federal securities laws and violations of state laws with respect to the sale of certain proprietary products (as opposed to non-proprietary products) by the Company's agency distribution group. Plaintiff seeks rescission, compensatory damages, interest, punitive damages and attorneys' fees and expenses. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims in this matter. Metropolitan Life also has been named as a defendant in a number of silicosis, welding and mixed dust cases in various states. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims in these matters. Summary Putative or certified class action litigation and other litigation and claims and assessments against the Company, in addition to those discussed above and those otherwise provided for in the Company's consolidated financial statements, have arisen in the course of the Company's business, including, but not limited to, in connection with its activities as an insurer, employer, investor, investment advisor and taxpayer. Further, state insurance regulatory authorities and other federal and state authorities regularly make inquiries and conduct investigations concerning the Company's compliance with applicable insurance and other laws and regulations. It is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of all pending investigations and legal proceedings or provide reasonable ranges of potential losses, except as noted above in connection with specific matters. In some of the matters referred to above, very large and/or indeterminate amounts, including punitive and treble damages, are sought. Although in light of these considerations it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain cases could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's consolidated financial position, based on information currently known by the Company's management, in its opinion, the outcomes of such pending F-77 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) investigations and legal proceedings are not likely to have such an effect. However, given the large and/or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these matters and the inherent unpredictability of litigation, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated net income or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods. INSOLVENCY ASSESSMENTS Most of the jurisdictions in which the Company is admitted to transact business require life insurers doing business within the jurisdiction to participate in guaranty associations, which are organized to pay contractual benefits owed pursuant to insurance policies issued by impaired, insolvent or failed life insurers. These associations levy assessments, up to prescribed limits, on all member insurers in a particular state on the basis of the proportionate share of the premiums written by member insurers in the lines of business in which the impaired, insolvent or failed insurer engaged. Some states permit member insurers to recover assessments paid through full or partial premium tax offsets. Assets and liabilities held for insolvency assessments are as follows:
DECEMBER 31, ----------- 2006 2005 ---- ---- (IN MILLIONS) Other Assets: Premium tax offset for future undiscounted assessments..... $28 $28 Premium tax offsets currently available for paid assessments............................................. 5 6 --- --- $33 $34 === === Liability: Insolvency assessments..................................... $49 $48 === ===
Assessments levied against the Company were $1 million for both the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the assessment was $1 million less a refund of $2 million related to prior years assessments. IMPACT OF HURRICANES On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina made landfall in the states of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, causing catastrophic damage to these coastal regions. The Company's cumulative gross losses were $21 million at December 31, 2005. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company recognized total net losses, related to the catastrophe of $14 million, net of income tax and reinsurance recoverables and including reinstatement premiums and other reinsurance-related premium adjustments. There were no additional losses recognized for the year ended December 31, 2006. Additional hurricane-related losses may be recorded in future periods as claims are received from insureds and claims to reinsurers are processed. Reinsurance recoveries are dependent upon the continued creditworthiness of the reinsurers, which may be affected by their other reinsured losses in connection with Hurricanes Katrina and otherwise. In addition, lawsuits, including purported class actions, have been filed in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama challenging denial of claims for damages caused to property during Hurricane Katrina. The Company is a named party in some of these lawsuits. In addition, rulings in cases in which the Company is not a party may affect interpretation of its policies. The Company intends to vigorously defend these matters. However, any adverse rulings could result in an increase in the Company's hurricane-related claim exposure and losses. Based on information known by management, it does not believe that additional claim losses resulting from Hurricane Katrina will have a material adverse impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. F-78 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) COMMITMENTS LEASES In accordance with industry practice, certain of the Company's income from lease agreements with retail tenants are contingent upon the level of the tenants' sales revenues. Additionally, the Company, as lessee, has entered into various lease and sublease agreements for office space, data processing and other equipment. Future minimum rental and sublease income, and minimum gross rental payments relating to these lease agreements are as follows:
GROSS RENTAL SUBLEASE RENTAL INCOME INCOME PAYMENTS ------ -------- -------- (IN MILLIONS) 2007............................................... $326 $20 $ 177 2008............................................... $276 $18 $ 148 2009............................................... $224 $10 $ 158 2010............................................... $184 $ 5 $ 149 2011............................................... $155 $ 5 $ 124 Thereafter......................................... $564 $10 $1,180
COMMITMENTS TO FUND PARTNERSHIP INVESTMENTS The Company makes commitments to fund partnership investments in the normal course of business. The amounts of these unfunded commitments were $2.4 billion and $2.0 billion at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company anticipates that these amounts will be invested in partnerships over the next five years. MORTGAGE LOAN COMMITMENTS The Company commits to lend funds under mortgage loan commitments. The amounts of these mortgage loan commitments were $3.3 billion and $2.6 billion at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. COMMITMENTS TO FUND BANK CREDIT FACILITIES AND BRIDGE LOANS The Company commits to lend funds under bank credit facilities and bridge loans. The amounts of these unfunded commitments were $1.7 billion and $323 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. OTHER COMMITMENTS Metropolitan Life is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (the "FHLB of NY") and holds $136 million of common stock of the FHLB of NY, which is included in equity securities on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. Metropolitan Life had no funding agreements with the FHLB of NY at December 31, 2006 or 2005. On December 12, 2005, RGA repurchased 1.6 million shares of its outstanding common stock at an aggregate price of $76 million under an accelerated share repurchase agreement with a major bank. The bank borrowed the stock sold to RGA from third parties and purchased the shares in the open market over the subsequent few months to return to the lenders. RGA would either pay or receive an amount based on the actual amount paid by the bank to purchase the shares. These repurchases resulted in an increase in the Company's ownership percentage of RGA to approximately 53% at December 31, 2005 from approximately 52% at December 31, 2004. In February 2006, the final purchase price was determined, resulting in a cash settlement F-79 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) substantially equal to the aggregate cost. RGA recorded the initial repurchase of shares as treasury stock and recorded the amount received as an adjustment to the cost of the treasury stock. At December 31, 2006, the Company's ownership was approximately 53% of RGA. GUARANTEES In the normal course of its business, the Company has provided certain indemnities, guarantees and commitments to third parties pursuant to which it may be required to make payments now or in the future. In the context of acquisition, disposition, investment and other transactions, the Company has provided indemnities and guarantees, including those related to tax, environmental and other specific liabilities, and other indemnities and guarantees that are triggered by, among other things, breaches of representations, warranties or covenants provided by the Company. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Company provides indemnifications to counterparties in contracts with triggers similar to the foregoing, as well as for certain other liabilities, such as third party lawsuits. These obligations are often subject to time limitations that vary in duration, including contractual limitations and those that arise by operation of law, such as applicable statutes of limitation. In some cases, the maximum potential obligation under the indemnities and guarantees is subject to a contractual limitation ranging from less than $1 million to $800 million, with a cumulative maximum of $1.5 billion, while in other cases such limitations are not specified or applicable. Since certain of these obligations are not subject to limitations, the Company does not believe that it is possible to determine the maximum potential amount that could become due under these guarantees in the future. In addition, the Company indemnifies its directors and officers as provided in its charters and by-laws. Also, the Company indemnifies its agents for liabilities incurred as a result of their representation of the Company's interests. Since these indemnities are generally not subject to limitation with respect to duration or amount, the Company does not believe that it is possible to determine the maximum potential amount that could become due under these indemnities in the future. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company did not record any additional liabilities for indemnities, guarantees and commitments. In the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company eliminated $4 million of a liability that was previously recorded with respect to indemnities provided in connection with a certain disposition. The Company had no liability for indemnities, guarantees and commitments at December 31, 2006. The Company's recorded liabilities at December 31, 2005 for indemnities, guarantees and commitments were $4 million. In connection with synthetically created investment transactions, the Company writes credit default swap obligations requiring payment of principal due in exchange for the referenced credit obligation, depending on the nature or occurrence of specified credit events for the referenced entities. In the event of a specified credit event, the Company's maximum amount at risk, assuming the value of the referenced credits becomes worthless, was $342 million at December 31, 2006. The credit default swaps expire at various times during the next ten years. 15. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS The Company sponsors and administers various qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement employee benefit plans covering eligible employees and sales representatives who meet specified eligibility requirements of the sponsor and its participating affiliates. Participating affiliates have no legal obligation for benefits under the pension plans; however, participating affiliates are allocated a proportionate share of net expense related to the plans. Pension benefits are provided utilizing either a traditional formula or cash balance formula. The traditional formula provides benefits based upon years of credited service and either final average or career average earnings. The cash balance formula utilizes hypothetical or notional F-80 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) accounts which credit participants with benefits equal to a percentage of eligible pay as well as earnings credits, determined annually based upon the average annual rate of interest on 30-year U.S. Treasury securities, for each account balance. As of December 31, 2006, virtually all of the plans' benefit obligations have been calculated using the traditional formula. The non- qualified pension plans provide supplemental benefits, in excess of amounts permitted by governmental agencies, to certain executive level employees. The Company's proportionate share of net pension expense related to the pension plans was $161 million or 90% for the year ended December 31, 2006. The Company also provides certain postemployment benefits and certain postretirement medical and life insurance benefits for retired employees. The other postretirement plans cover eligible employees of the sponsor and its participating affiliates who were hired prior to 2003 (or, in certain cases, rehired during or after 2003) and meet age and service criteria while working for the Company or its participating affiliates, may become eligible for these other postretirement benefits, at various levels, in accordance with the applicable plans. Virtually all retirees, or their beneficiaries, contribute a portion of the total cost of postretirement medical benefits. Employees hired after 2003 are not eligible for any employer subsidy for postretirement medical benefits. Participating affiliates have no legal obligation for benefits under these other postretirement plans; however, participating affiliates are allocated a proportionate share of net expense related to the postretirement plan. The Company's proportionate share of net expense related to the postretirement plan was $49 million or 86% for the year ended December 31, 2006. Other postretirement plans are sponsored and administered by subsidiaries of the Company. As described more fully in Note 1, effective December 31, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 158. The adoption of SFAS 158 required the recognition of the funded status of defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans and eliminated the additional minimum pension liability provision of SFAS 87. The Company's additional minimum pension liability was $78 million, and the intangible asset was $12 million, at December 31, 2005. The excess of the additional minimum pension liability over the intangible asset of $66 million, $41 million, net of income tax, was recorded as a reduction of accumulated other comprehensive income. At December 31, 2006, immediately prior to adopting SFAS 158, the Company's additional minimum pension liability was $92 million. The additional minimum pension liability of $59 million, net of income tax of $33 million, was recorded as a reduction of accumulated other comprehensive income. The change in the additional minimum pension liability of $18 million, net of income tax, was reflected as a component of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2006. Upon adoption of SFAS 158, the Company eliminated the additional minimum pension liability and recognized as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income, net of income tax, those amounts of actuarial gains and losses, prior service costs and credits, and the remaining net transition asset or obligation that had not yet been included in net periodic benefit F-81 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.)

F-84 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The estimated net actuarial losses and prior service cost for the pension plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net periodic benefit cost over the next year are $54 million and $12 million, respectively. The estimated net actuarial losses and prior service credit for the other postretirement plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net periodic benefit cost over the next year are $14 million and $36 million, respectively. As discussed more fully in Note 1, the Company adopted the guidance in FSP 106-2 to account for future subsidies to be received under the Prescription Drug Act. The Company began receiving these subsidies during 2006. The APBO was remeasured effective July 1, 2004 in order to determine the effect of the expected subsidies on net periodic other postretirement benefit cost. As a result, the APBO was reduced by $213 million at July 1, 2004. A summary of the reduction to the APBO and related reduction to the components of net periodic other postretirement benefit cost is as follows:

The Company received subsidies of $8 million for prescription claims processed from January 1, 2006 through September 30, 2006 and expects to receive an additional $2 million in 2007 for prescription claims processed October 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006. ASSUMPTIONS Assumptions used in determining benefit obligations were as follows:
DECEMBER 31, ----------------------------- OTHER PENSION POSTRETIRE- BENEFITS MENT BENEFITS ------------- ------------- 2006 2005 2006 2005 ----- ----- ----- ----- Weighted average discount rate................ 6.00% 5.80% 6.00% 5.79% Rate of compensation increase................. 4%-8% 4%-8% N/A N/A
F-85 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Assumptions used in determining net periodic benefit cost were as follows:
DECEMBER 31, --------------------------------------------- OTHER POSTRETIREMENT PENSION BENEFITS BENEFITS --------------------- --------------------- 2006 2005 2004 2006 2005 2004 ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Weighted average discount rate... 5.80% 5.85% 6.10% 5.79% 5.83% 6.74% Weighted average expected rate of return on plan assets.......... 8.25% 8.49% 8.49% 7.42% 7.50% 7.91% Rate of compensation increase.... 4%-8% 4%-8% 4%-8% N/A N/A N/A
The discount rate is based on the yield of a hypothetical portfolio constructed of bonds rated AA or better by Moody's Investors Services available on the valuation date measured on a yield to worst basis, which would provide the necessary future cash flows to pay the aggregate projected benefit obligation when due. The expected rate of return on plan assets is based on anticipated performance of the various asset sectors in which the plan invests, weighted by target allocation percentages. Anticipated future performance is based on long- term historical returns of the plan assets by sector, adjusted for the Company's long-term expectations on the performance of the markets. While the precise expected return derived using this approach will fluctuate from year to year, the Company's policy is to hold this long-term assumption constant as long as it remains within reasonable tolerance from the derived rate. The weighted average expected return on plan assets for use in that plan's valuation in 2007 is currently anticipated to be 8.25% for pension benefits and postretirement medical benefits and 6.25% for postretirement life benefits. The assumed healthcare cost trend rates used in measuring the APBO and net periodic benefit cost were as follows:
DECEMBER 31, -------------------------------------------------- 2006 2005 ----------------------- ------------------------ Pre-Medicare eligible claims...... 9.0% down to 5% in 2014 9.5% down to 5% in 2014 Medicare eligible claims.......... 11% down to 5% in 2018 11.5% down to 5% in 2018
Assumed healthcare cost trend rates may have a significant effect on the amounts reported for healthcare plans. A one-percentage point change in assumed healthcare cost trend rates would have the following effects:
ONE PERCENT ONE PERCENT INCREASE DECREASE ----------- ----------- (IN MILLIONS) Effect on total of service and interest cost components.......................................... $ 14 $ (12) Effect of accumulated postretirement benefit obligation.......................................... $176 $(147)
PLAN ASSETS The Company has issued group annuity and life insurance contracts supporting approximately 98% of all pension and other postretirement benefit plans assets. The account values of the group annuity and life insurance contracts issued by the Company and held as assets of the pension and other postretirement benefit plans were $7,321 million and $6,471 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The majority of such account values are held in separate accounts established by the Company. Total revenue from these contracts recognized in the consolidated statements of income was $29 million, $28 million and $28 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and includes policy charges, net investment income from investments backing the contracts and F-86 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) administrative fees. Total investment income, including realized and unrealized gains and losses, credited to the account balances was $818 million, $460 million and $519 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The terms of these contracts are consistent in all material respects with those the Company offers to unaffiliated parties that are similarly situated. The weighted-average allocations of pension plan and other postretirement benefit plan assets were as follows:

The weighted-average target allocations of pension plan and other postretirement benefit plan assets for 2007 is as follows:
OTHER PENSION POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS BENEFITS -------- -------------- ASSET CATEGORY Equity securities.................................... 30%-65% 30%-45% Fixed maturity securities............................ 20%-70% 45%-70% Other (Real Estate and Alternative Investments)...... 0%-25% 0%-10%
Target allocations of assets are determined with the objective of maximizing returns and minimizing volatility of net assets through adequate asset diversification. Adjustments are made to target allocations based on an assessment of the impact of economic factors and market conditions. CASH FLOWS It is the Company's practice to make contributions to the qualified pension plans to comply with minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and/or to maintain a fully funded ABO. In accordance with such practice, no contributions were required for the years ended December 31, 2006 or 2005. No contributions will be required for 2007. The Company elected to make discretionary contributions to the qualified pension plans of $335 million during the year ended December 31, 2006. No contributions were made during the year ended December 31, 2005. The Company expects to make additional discretionary contributions of $145 million in 2007. Benefit payments due under the non-qualified pension plans are funded from the Company's general assets as they become due under the provision of the plans. These payments totaled $35 million and $33 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. These payments are expected to be at approximately the same level in 2007. Other postretirement benefits represent a non-vested, non-guaranteed obligation of the Company and current regulations do not require specific funding levels for these benefits. While the Company has partially funded such plans in advance, it has been the Company's practice to use its general assets to pay claims as they F-87 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) come due in lieu of utilizing plan assets. These payments totaled $151 million and $158 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company expects to make contributions up to $131 million, based upon expected gross benefit payments, towards the other postretirement plan obligations in 2007. As noted previously, the Company expects to receive subsidies under the Prescription Drug Act to partially offset such payments. Gross benefit payments for the next ten years, which reflect expected future service where appropriate, and gross subsidies to be received under the Prescription Drug Act are expected to be as follows:

SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLANS The Company sponsors savings and investment plans for substantially all employees under which a portion of employee contributions are matched. The Company contributed $73 million, $70 million and $60 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. 16. EQUITY CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS On October 20, 2006, the Holding Company contributed $17 million to the Company in connection with the sale and merger of CLIC. See Note 2. On September 30, 2006, the Holding Company contributed $377 million to the Company in the form of intangible assets. See Note 2. On May 1, 2006, General American, an indirect insurance subsidiary of the Company, sold its wholly-owned insurance subsidiary, Paragon Life Insurance Company ("Paragon"), to its ultimate parent, the Holding Company. Immediately following the sale, the Holding Company merged Paragon, an affiliate of the Company, with and into the Company. In connection with the transaction, the Holding Company contributed $76 million to the Company. PARENT'S INTEREST IN PREFERRED STOCK OF A SUBSIDIARY On December 21, 2004, the Holding Company contributed the 93,402 Preferred Shares to a subsidiary of the Company. The subsidiary of the Company retired the shares and recorded a contribution of capital of $93 million from MetLife, Inc. F-88 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS The table below sets forth the dividends permitted to be paid to the Holding Company without insurance regulatory approval and dividends paid to the Holding Company:
2005 2006 2007 ----------------------- ----------------------- ------------- PERMITTED W/O PERMITTED W/O PERMITTED W/O COMPANY APPROVAL(1) PAID(2) APPROVAL(1) PAID(2) APPROVAL(3) ------- ------------- ------- ------------- ------- ------------- (IN MILLIONS) Metropolitan Life............ $880 $3,200 $863 $863 $919
-------- (1) Reflects dividend amounts paid during the relevant year without prior regulatory approval. (2) Includes amounts paid including those requiring regulatory approval. (3) Reflects dividend amounts that may be paid during 2007 without prior regulatory approval. If paid before a specified date during 2007, some or all of such dividend amounts may require regulatory approval. Under New York State Insurance Law, Metropolitan Life is permitted, without prior insurance regulatory clearance, to pay stockholder dividends to the Holding Company as long as the aggregate amount of all such dividends in any calendar year does not exceed the lesser of: (i) 10% of its surplus to policyholders as of the end of the immediately preceding calendar year; or (ii) its statutory net gain from operations for the immediately preceding calendar year (excluding realized capital gains). Metropolitan Life will be permitted to pay a cash dividend to the Holding Company in excess of the lesser of such two amounts only if it files notice of its intention to declare such a dividend and the amount thereof with the Superintendent and the Superintendent does not disapprove the distribution within 30 days of its filing. Under New York State Insurance Law, the Superintendent has broad discretion in determining whether the financial condition of a stock life insurance company would support the payment of such dividends to its shareholders. The New York State Department of Insurance (the "Department") has established informal guidelines for such determinations. The guidelines, among other things, focus on the insurer's overall financial condition and profitability under statutory accounting practices. Stockholder dividends or other distributions proposed to be paid by NELICO to its parent, Metropolitan Life, must be approved by the Massachusetts Commissioner of Insurance (the "Commissioner") if such dividends or distributions, together with other dividends or distributions made within the preceding calendar year, exceed the greater of (i) 10% of NELICO's statutory surplus as of the immediately preceding calendar year or (ii) NELICO's statutory net gain from operations for the immediately preceding calendar year. In addition, dividends cannot be paid from a source other than statutory unassigned funds surplus without prior approval of the Commissioner. Since NELICO's statutory unassigned funds surplus is less than zero, NELICO cannot pay any dividends without prior approval of the Commissioner. NELICO paid no common stockholder dividends for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, Metropolitan Life received dividends from subsidiaries of $34 million, $77 million and $14 million, respectively. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS Overview As described more fully in Note 1, effective January 1, 2006, in conjunction with the Holding Company, the Company adopted SFAS 123(r), using the modified prospective transition method. The adoption of SFAS 123(r) did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations. The stock-based compensation expense recognized by the Company is related to awards under incentive plans of the Holding Company, as described herein. F-89 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Description of Plans The MetLife, Inc. 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Stock Incentive Plan"), authorized the granting of awards in the form of options to buy shares of Holding Company common stock ("Stock Options") that either qualify as incentive Stock Options under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code or are non-qualified. Under the MetLife, Inc. 2005 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended (the "2005 Stock Plan"), awards granted may be in the form of Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares or Performance Share Units, Cash-Based Awards, and Stock-Based Awards (each as defined in the 2005 Stock Plan). The Stock Incentive Plan, 2005 Stock Plan, and the LTPCP, as described below, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Incentive Plans." The aggregate number of shares of Holding Company common stock reserved for issuance under the 2005 Stock Plan and the LTPCP is 68,000,000, plus those shares available but not utilized under the Stock Incentive Plan and those shares utilized under the Stock Incentive Plan that are recovered due to forfeiture of Stock Options. Additional shares of Holding Company common stock carried forward from the Stock Incentive Plan and available for issuance under the 2005 Stock Plan were 12,423,881 as of December 31, 2006. Each share issued under the 2005 Stock Plan in connection with a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right reduces the number of shares remaining for issuance under that plan by one, and each share issued under the 2005 Stock Plan in connection with awards other than Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights reduces the number of shares remaining for issuance under that plan by 1.179 shares. As of December 31, 2006, the aggregate number of shares of Holding Company common stock remaining available for issuance pursuant to the 2005 Stock Plan was 66,712,241. Stock Option exercises and other stock-based awards to employees settled in shares are satisfied through the issuance of shares held in treasury by the Holding Company. The Company does not issue any of its own shares in satisfaction of stock-based compensation awards to employees. The Holding Company allocated 90%, 92% and 91% of stock-based compensation to the Company for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. This allocation represents substantially all stock-based compensation recognized in the Company's consolidated results of operations. Accordingly, the discussion herein addresses the Holding Company's practices for recognizing expense for awards under the Incentive Plans. Underlying awards are expressed in their entirety with related expense amounts representing the resulting allocation to the Company. Compensation expense related to awards under the Incentive Plans is recognized based on the number of awards expected to vest, which represents the awards granted less expected forfeitures over the life of the award, as estimated at the date of grant. Unless a material deviation from the assumed rate is observed during the term in which the awards are expensed, any adjustment necessary to reflect differences in actual experience is recognized in the period the award becomes payable or exercisable. Compensation expense of $130 million, $112 million and $82 million, and income tax benefits of $46 million, $39 million and $29 million, related to the Incentive Plans was allocated to the Company for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Compensation expense is principally related to the issuance of Stock Options, Performance Shares and LTPCP arrangements. Stock Options All Stock Options granted had an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Holding Company's stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant, and have a maximum term of ten years. Certain Stock Options granted under the Stock Incentive Plan and the 2005 Stock Plan have or will become exercisable over a three year period commencing with the date of grant, while other Stock Options have or will become exercisable three years after the date of grant. F-90 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) A summary of the activity related to Stock Options for the year ended December 31, 2006 is presented below. The aggregate intrinsic value was computed using the Holding Company's closing share price on December 29, 2006 of $59.01 and December 30, 2005 of $49.00, as applicable.

Prior to January 1, 2005, the Black-Scholes model was used to determine the fair value of Stock Options granted and recognized in the financial statements or as reported in the pro forma disclosure which follows. The fair value of Stock Options issued on or after January 1, 2005 was estimated on the date of grant using a binomial lattice model. The Holding Company made this change because lattice models produce more accurate option values due to the ability to incorporate assumptions about grantee exercise behavior resulting from changes in the price of the underlying shares. In addition, lattice models allow for changes in critical assumptions over the life of the option in comparison to closed-form models like Black-Scholes, which require single-value assumptions at the time of grant. The Holding Company used daily historical volatility since the inception of trading when calculating Stock Option values using the Black-Scholes model. In conjunction with the change to the binomial lattice model, the Holding Company began estimating expected future volatility based upon an analysis of historical prices of the Holding Company's common stock and call options on that common stock traded on the open market. The Holding Company uses a weighted-average of the implied volatility for publicly traded call options with the longest remaining maturity nearest to the money as of each valuation date and the historical volatility, calculated using monthly closing prices of the Holding Company's common stock. The Holding Company chose a monthly measurement interval for historical volatility as it believes this better depicts the nature of employee option exercise decisions being based on longer-term trends in the price of the underlying shares rather than on daily price movements. The risk-free rate is based on observed interest rates for instruments with maturities similar to the expected term of the Stock Options. Whereas the Black- Scholes model requires a single spot rate for instruments with a term matching the expected life of the option at the valuation date, the binomial lattice model allows for the use of different rates for each year over the contractual term of the option. The table below presents the full range of imputed forward rates for U.S. Treasury Strips that was used in the binomial lattice model over the contractual term of all Stock Options granted in the period. Dividend yield is determined based on historical dividend distributions compared to the price of the underlying common stock as of the valuation date and held constant over the life of the Stock Option. F-91 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Use of the Black-Scholes model requires an input of the expected life of the Stock Options, or the average number of years before Stock Options will be exercised or expired. The Holding Company estimated expected life using the historical average years to exercise or cancellation and average remaining years outstanding for vested Stock Options. Alternatively, the binomial model used by the Holding Company incorporates the contractual term of the Stock Options and then considers expected exercise behavior and a post-vesting termination rate, or the rate at which vested options are exercised or expire prematurely due to termination of employment, to derive an expected life. The post-vesting termination rate is determined from actual historical exercise and expiration activity under the Incentive Plans. Exercise behavior in the binomial lattice model used by the Holding Company is expressed using an exercise multiple, which reflects the ratio of exercise price to the strike price of Stock Options granted at which holders of the Stock Options are expected to exercise. The exercise multiple is derived from actual historical exercise activity. The following weighted average assumptions, with the exception of risk-free rate, which is expressed as a range, were used to determine the fair value of Stock Options issued during the:

Compensation expense related to Stock Option awards expected to vest and granted prior to January 1, 2006 is recognized ratably over the requisite service period, which equals the vesting term. Compensation expense related to Stock Option awards expected to vest and granted on or after January 1, 2006 is recognized ratably over the requisite service period or the period to retirement eligibility, if shorter. Compensation expense of $51 million, $47 million and $37 million related to Stock Options was allocated to the Company for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Had compensation expense for grants awarded prior to January 1, 2003 been determined based on the fair value at the date of grant rather than the intrinsic value method, the Company's earnings would have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts for the following:

F-92 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) As of December 31, 2006, the Holding Company had $41 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to Stock Options. It is expected that these costs will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.67 years. The Company's allocated portion of Stock Option expense is 91%. This allocated percentage of Stock Option expense is not expected to significantly change. Performance Shares Beginning in 2005, the Holding Company awarded certain members of management Performance Shares under (and as defined in) the 2005 Stock Plan. Participants are awarded an initial target number of Performance Shares with the final number of Performance Shares payable being determined by the product of the initial target multiplied by a factor of 0.0 to 2.0. The factor applied is based on measurements of the Holding Company's performance with respect to: (i) the change in annual net operating earnings per share, as defined; and (ii) the proportionate total shareholder return, as defined, with reference to the three- year performance period relative to other companies in the S&P Insurance Index with reference to the same three-year period. Performance Share awards will normally vest in their entirety at the end of the three-year performance period (subject to certain contingencies) and will be payable entirely in shares of the Holding Company's common stock. The following is a summary of Performance Share activity for the year ended December 31, 2006:
WEIGHTED AVERAGE PERFORMANCE GRANT DATE SHARES FAIR VALUE ----------- ---------- Outstanding at January 1, 2006........................ 1,029,700 $36.87 Granted............................................. 884,875 $48.43 Forfeited........................................... (65,000) $41.37 --------- Outstanding at December 31, 2006...................... 1,849,575 $42.24 ========= Performance Shares expected to vest at December 31, 2006................................................ 1,820,742 $42.16 =========
Performance Share amounts above represent aggregate initial target awards and do not reflect potential increases or decreases resulting from the final performance factor to be determined at the end of the respective performance period. None of the Performance Shares vested during the year ended December 31, 2006. Performance Share awards are accounted for as equity awards but are not credited with dividend-equivalents for actual dividends paid on the Holding Company's common stock during the performance period. Accordingly, the fair value of Performance Shares is based upon the closing price of the Holding Company's common stock on the date of grant, reduced by the present value of estimated dividends to be paid on that stock during the performance period. Compensation expense related to initial Performance Shares granted prior to January 1, 2006 and expected to vest is recognized ratably during the performance period. Compensation expense related to initial Performance Shares granted on or after January 1, 2006 and expected to vest is recognized ratably over the performance period or the period to retirement eligibility, if shorter. Performance Shares expected to vest and the related compensation expenses may be further adjusted by the performance factor most likely to be achieved, as estimated by management, at the end of the performance period. Compensation expense of $67 million and $22 million, related to Performance Shares was allocated to the Company for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, the Holding Company had $59 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to Performance Share awards. It is expected that these costs will be recognized over a weighted average F-93 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) period of 1.59 years. The Company's allocated portion of Performance Share expense was 90%. This allocated percentage of Performance Share expense is not expected to significantly change. Long-Term Performance Compensation Plan Prior to January 1, 2005, the Holding Company granted stock-based compensation to certain members of management under the LTPCP. Each participant was assigned a target compensation amount (an "Opportunity Award") at the inception of the performance period with the final compensation amount determined based on the total shareholder return on the Holding Company's common stock over the three-year performance period, subject to limited further adjustment approved by the Holding Company's Board of Directors. Payments on the Opportunity Awards are normally payable in their entirety (subject to certain contingencies) at the end of the three-year performance period, and may be paid in whole or in part with shares of the Holding Company's common stock, as approved by the Holding Company's Board of Directors. There were no new grants under the LTPCP during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. A portion of each Opportunity Award under the LTPCP is expected to be settled in shares of the Holding Company's common stock while the remainder will be settled in cash. The portion of the Opportunity Award expected to be settled in shares of the Holding Company's common stock is accounted for as an equity award with the fair value of the award determined based upon the closing price of the Holding Company's common stock on the date of grant. The compensation expense associated with the equity award, based upon the grant date fair value, is recognized into expense ratably over the respective three-year performance period. The portion of the Opportunity Award expected to be settled in cash is accounted for as a liability and is remeasured using the closing price of the Holding Company's common stock on the final day of each subsequent reporting period during the three-year performance period. Compensation expense of $12 million, $43 million and $45 million, related to LTPCP Opportunity Awards was allocated to the Company the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Holding Company had LTPCP Opportunity Awards with an aggregate fair value of $41 million outstanding at December 31, 2006, all of which has been recognized. The Company's allocated portion of LTPCP expense is 90%. This allocated percentage of LTPCP expense is not expected to significantly change. STATUTORY EQUITY AND INCOME Each insurance company's state of domicile imposes minimum risk-based capital ("RBC") requirements that were developed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC"). The formulas for determining the amount of RBC specify various weighting factors that are applied to financial balances or various levels of activity based on the perceived degree of risk. Regulatory compliance is determined by a ratio of total adjusted capital, as defined by the NAIC, to authorized control level RBC, as defined by the NAIC. Companies below specific trigger points or ratios are classified within certain levels, each of which requires specified corrective action. Each of the Company's U.S. insurance subsidiaries exceeded the minimum RBC requirements for all periods presented herein. The NAIC adopted the Codification of Statutory Accounting Principles ("Codification") in 2001. Codification was intended to standardize regulatory accounting and reporting to state insurance departments. However, statutory accounting principles continue to be established by individual state laws and permitted practices. Modifications by the various state insurance departments may impact the effect of Codification on the statutory capital and surplus of Metropolitan Life and its insurance subsidiaries. Statutory accounting principles differ from GAAP primarily by charging policy acquisition costs to expense as incurred, establishing future policy benefit liabilities using different actuarial assumptions, reporting surplus notes as surplus instead of debt and valuing securities on a different basis. F-94 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Statutory net income of Metropolitan Life, a New York domiciled insurer, was $1.0 billion, $2.2 billion and $2.6 billion for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Statutory capital and surplus, as filed with the Department, was $9.2 billion and $8.8 billion at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Due to the mergers of Paragon and CLIC with Metropolitan Life, the 2005 statutory net income and statutory capital and surplus balances were adjusted.

As discussed in Note 8, the Company recognized an expense related to the recapture of a reinsurance treaty by an affiliate for the year ended December 31, 2006. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company entered into a reinsurance agreement with an affiliate and it received a ceding commission which is included in the table above. 18. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company is a leading provider of insurance and other financial services with operations throughout the United States and Canada. The Company's business is divided into three operating segments: Institutional, Individual and Reinsurance, as well as Corporate & Other. These segments are managed separately because they either provide different products and services, require different strategies or have different technology requirements. In connection with the Travelers acquisition by the Holding Company, management has utilized its economic capital model to evaluate the deployment of capital based upon the unique and specific nature of the risks inherent in the Company's existing and newly acquired businesses and has adjusted such allocations based upon this model. Economic capital is an internally developed risk capital model, the purpose of which is to measure the risk in the business and to provide a basis upon which capital is deployed. The economic capital model accounts for the unique and specific nature of the risks inherent in Company's businesses. As a part of the economic capital process, a portion of net investment income is credited to the segments based on the level of allocated equity. Institutional offers a broad range of group insurance and retirement & savings products and services, including group life insurance, non-medical health insurance, such as short and long-term disability, long-term care, and dental insurance, and other insurance products and services. Individual offers a wide variety of protection and asset accumulation products, including life insurance, annuities and mutual funds. Through the Company's majority-owned subsidiary, RGA, the Reinsurance segment provides reinsurance of life and annuity policies in North America and various international markets. Additionally, reinsurance of critical illness policies is provided in select international markets. Corporate & Other contains the excess capital not allocated to the business segments, various start-up entities and run-off entities, the Company's ancillary international operations consisting of the Company's Canadian branch and a joint venture in China, as well as interest expense related to the majority of the Company's outstanding debt and expenses associated with certain legal proceedings and income tax audit issues. Corporate & Other also includes the elimination of all intersegment amounts, which generally relate to F-96 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) intersegment loans, which bear interest rates commensurate with related borrowings, as well as intersegment transactions. Additionally, the Company's asset management business, including amounts reported as discontinued operations, is included in the results of operations for Corporate & Other. See Note 19 for disclosures regarding discontinued operations, including real estate. Set forth in the tables below is certain financial information with respect to the Company's segments, as well as Corporate & Other, for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those of the Company, except for the method of capital allocation and the accounting for gains (losses) from intercompany sales, which are eliminated in consolidation. The Company allocates equity to each segment based upon the economic capital model that allows the Company to effectively manage its capital. The Company evaluates the performance of each segment based upon net income excluding net investment gains (losses), net of income tax, adjustments related to net investment gains (losses), net of income tax, the impact from the cumulative effect of changes in accounting, net of income tax and discontinued operations, other than discontinued real estate, net of income tax.

FAIR VALUE INFORMATION The estimated fair value of financial instruments have been determined by using available market information and the valuation methodologies described below. Considerable judgment is often required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein may not necessarily be indicative of amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange. The use of different assumptions or valuation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Amounts related to the Company's financial instruments are as follows:

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are summarized as follows: FIXED MATURITY SECURITIES, TRADING SECURITIES AND EQUITY SECURITIES The fair values of publicly held fixed maturity securities and publicly held equity securities are based on quoted market prices or estimates from independent pricing services. However, in cases where quoted market prices are not available, such as for private fixed maturity securities, fair values are estimated using present value or valuation techniques. The determination of fair values is based on: (i) valuation methodologies; (ii) securities the Company deems to be comparable; and (iii) assumptions deemed appropriate given the circumstances. The fair value estimates based on available market information and judgments about financial instruments, including estimates of the timing and amounts of expected future cash flows and the credit standing of the issuer or counterparty. Factors considered in estimating fair value include; coupon rate, maturity, estimated duration, call provisions, sinking fund requirements, credit rating, industry sector of the issuer, and quoted market prices of comparable securities. MORTGAGE AND CONSUMER LOANS, MORTGAGE LOAN COMMITMENTS, AND COMMITMENTS TO FUND BANK CREDIT FACILITIES AND BRIDGE LOANS Fair values for mortgage and consumer loans are estimated by discounting expected future cash flows, using current interest rates for similar loans with similar credit risk. For mortgage loan commitments and commitments to fund bank credit facilities and bridge loans, the estimated fair value is the net premium or discount of the commitments. F-104 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) POLICY LOANS The carrying values for policy loans approximate fair value. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS The carrying values for cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments approximated fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. ACCRUED INVESTMENT INCOME The carrying value for accrued investment income approximates fair value. POLICYHOLDER ACCOUNT BALANCES The fair value of PABs which have final contractual maturities are estimated by discounting expected future cash flows based upon interest rates currently being offered for similar contracts with maturities consistent with those remaining for the agreements being valued. The fair value of PABs without final contractual maturities are assumed to equal their current net surrender value. SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM DEBT, JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBT SECURITIES AND SHARES SUBJECT TO MANDATORY REDEMPTION The fair values of short-term and long-term debt, junior subordinated debt securities, and shares subject to mandatory redemption are determined by discounting expected future cash flows using risk rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. PAYABLES FOR COLLATERAL UNDER SECURITIES LOANED AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS The carrying value for payables for collateral under securities loaned and other transactions approximates fair value. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The fair value of derivative financial instruments, including financial futures, financial forwards, interest rate, credit default and foreign currency swaps, foreign currency forwards, caps, floors, and options are based upon quotations obtained from dealers or other reliable sources. See Note 4 for derivative fair value disclosures. 21.

The Directors and Officers of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ("Metropolitan"), as well as certain other subsidiaries of MetLife, Inc., are covered under the Financial Institutions Bond as well as under the Directors' and Officers' Liability Policy. A provision in Metropolitan's by-laws provides for the indemnification (under certain circumstances) of individuals serving as directors or officers of Metropolitan. Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Metropolitan pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Metropolitan of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person or Metropolitan Life Insurance Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, Metropolitan will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
