IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU SHOULD CONSIDER ABOUT THE POLICY

	FEES AND EXPENSES			LOCATION IN PROSPECTUS
Charges for Early Withdrawal	A surrender charge will be deducted from the cash value if the Policy is surrendered, lapses or there is a partial withdrawal during the first ten (10) Policy years or during the first (10) Policy years after an increase in the specified face amount of a Policy. The maximum surrender charge is $3.825% of specified face amount. For example, the maximum surrender charge during the first year after issue (or a specified face amount increase), assuming an initial face amount (or subsequent specified face amount increase) of $100,000, is $3,825.			“Charges -Surrender Charge, Partial Withdrawal Charge”
Transaction Charges	In addition to surrender charges, you also may be charged for other transactions (such as when you make a premium payment, or transfer cash value between investment options, make a partial withdrawal or request an illustration if you have requested more than one illustration in a year).			“Charges -Deductions from Premiums, Surrender Charge, Partial Withdrawal Charge, Transfer Charge”
Ongoing Fees and Expenses (annual charges)	In addition to surrender charges and transaction charges, an investment in the Policy is subject to certain ongoing fees and expenses, including fees and expenses covering the cost of insurance under the Policy and optional benefits added by rider, and such fees and expenses are set based on characteristics of the insured (e.g., age, sex and risk classification). There is also a mortality and expense risk charge deducted.			“Charges – Monthly Deduction from Cash Value, Charges Against the Portfolios and the Divisions of the Separate Account”
	You will also bear expenses associated with the Portfolios available under your Policy, as shown in the following table:
	ANNUAL FEE	MIN.	MAX.
	Investment options (Portfolio fees and charges)	0.28%	1.13%
	RISKS			LOCATION IN PROSPECTUS
Risk of Loss	You can lose money by investing in this Policy.			“Principal Risks”
Not a Short- Term Investment	The Policies are designed to provide lifetime insurance protection. They should not be used as a short-term investment or if you need ready access to cash, because you will be charged when you make premium payments and you may also pay surrender charges when surrendering the Policy.			“Principal Risks”

	RISKS	LOCATION IN PROSPECTUS
Risks Associated with Investment Options	An investment in this Policy is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the investment options available under the Policy (e.g., Portfolios). Each investment option (including any fixed account investment option) has its own unique risks. You should review the investment options before making an investment decision.	“Principal Risks”
Insurance Company Risks	Investments in the Policy are subject to the risks related to Metropolitan Life including any obligations (including under any fixed account investment option), guarantees, and benefits of the Policy are subject to the claims paying ability of Metropolitan Life. If Metropolitan Life experiences financial distress, it may not be able to meet its obligations to you. More information about Metropolitan Life, including its financial strength ratings, is available upon request by calling 1-800-638-5000 or visiting: https://www.metlife.com/about-us/corporate-profile/ratings/.	“Prinicipal Risks”
Contract Lapse	Your Policy may lapse if you have paid an insufficient amount of premiums or if the investment experience of the Portfolios is poor and the cash surrender value under your Policy is insufficient to cover the monthly deduction. Lapse of a Policy on which there is an outstanding loan may have adverse tax consequences. If the Policy lapses, no death benefit will be paid. A Policy may be reinstated if the conditions for reinstatement are met including the payment of required premiums.	“Prinicipal Risks”
	RESTRICTIONS	LOCATION IN PROSPECTUS
Investments	Policy Owners may transfer cash value between and among the Divisions and the Fixed Account. There are limitations on the transfer from the Fixed Account and limits on the minimum amount Policy Owners may transfer. Metropolitan Life also reserves the right to limit transfers to four (4) per Policy year and to impose a charge of $25 per. Metropolitan Life reserves the right to remove or substitute portfolio companies as investment options that are available under the Policy. Restrictions may apply to frequent transfers.	“Charges-Transfer Charge” and “Transfers”
Optional Benefits	You may not elect both the Waiver of Monthly Deduction Rider and the Waiver of Specified Premium Rider. With respect to exercising the Accelerated Death Benefit, the Policy Owner must accelerate at least $50,000 (or 25% of the death benefit, if less), but not more than the greater of $250,000 or 10% of the death benefit.	“Additional Benefits”
	TAXES	LOCATION IN PROSPECTUS
Tax Implications	Consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in and payments received under this Policy. Withdrawals will be subject to ordinary income tax, and may be subject to tax penalties. Lapse of a Policy on which there is an outstanding loan may have adverse tax consequences.	“Federal Tax Matters”

4

	CONFLICTS OF INTEREST	LOCATION IN PROSPECTUS
Investment Professional Compensation	Your investment professional may receive compensation relating to your ownership of a Policy, both in the form of commissions and continuing payments. This conflict of interest may influence your investment professional when advising you on your Policy.	“Distribution of the Policies”
Exchanges	Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new policy in place of your current Policy. You should only exchange your Policy if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both policies, that it is better for you to purchase the new policy rather than continue to own your existing Policy.	“The Policies-Replacing Existing Insurance”
