When you apply for the Policy, certain Portfolios may not be available to you
because the broker-dealer through which you are purchasing the Policy does not
make them available. However, once your Policy has been issued, all of the
Portfolios will be available for premium allocations and cash value transfers.
Please be aware that your registered representative may not be able to provide
you any information or answer any questions you may have about the Portfolios
that are not made available. Therefore, to allocate premium payments or to
transfer cash value to those Portfolios, you may need to contact us directly,
as described under RECEIPT OF COMMUNICATIONS AND PAYMENTS AT METLIFE'S
DESIGNATED OFFICE on page A-25 of the prospectus.
