METLIFE INVESTORS USA INSURANCE COMPANY METLIFE INVESTORS USA SEPARATE ACCOUNT A SUPPLEMENT DATED APRIL 28, 2014 TO PROSPECTUSES DATED APRIL 28, 2014 For contracts issued on or after November 13, 2006 (or a later date, subject to state approval), this supplement describes the Annuity Date provision under the contract offered by the selling firm to which your account representative is associated. This supplement applies to the following variable annuity contracts issued by MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company ("we," "us," or "our"): Series VA (offered between March 22, 2001 and October 7, 2011), Series C (offered between September 4, 2001 and October 7, 2011), Series L, and Series XC. This supplement provides information in addition to that contained in the prospectus dated April 28, 2014 for the contract. It should be read in its entirety and kept together with your prospectus for future reference. If you would like another copy of the prospectus, write to us at 11225 North Community House Road, Charlotte, NC 28277 or call us at (800) 343-8496 to request a free copy. Certain terms used in this supplement have special meanings. If a term is not defined in this supplement, it has the meaning given to it in the prospectus. ANNUITY DATE In the "ANNUITY PAYMENTS (THE INCOME PHASE) - Annuity Date" section of the prospectus, replace the second and third paragraphs with the following: When you purchase the contract, the Annuity Date will be the later of the first day of the calendar month after the Annuitant's 90th birthday or ten (10) years from the date your contract was issued. You can change or extend the Annuity Date at any time before the Annuity Date with 30 days prior notice to us. However, if you have bought your contract through the selling firm to which your account representative is associated, you cannot extend your Annuity Date to a date beyond age 95 of the Annuitant unless your contract is held through a custodial account, such as an IRA held in a custodial account (see "Other Information - Annuitant" for the definition of Annuitant and permitted changes of the Annuitant). PLEASE BE AWARE THAT ONCE YOUR CONTRACT IS ANNUITIZED, YOU ARE INELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE THE DEATH BENEFIT YOU HAVE SELECTED. ADDITIONALLY, IF YOU HAVE ELECTED A LIVING BENEFIT RIDER SUCH AS A GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT, A GUARANTEED MINIMUM INCOME BENEFIT, OR THE GUARANTEED MINIMUM ACCUMULATION BENEFIT, AND THE RIDER CONTINUES IN EFFECT AT THE TIME OF ANNUITIZATION, ANNUITIZING YOUR CONTRACT TERMINATES THE RIDER, INCLUDING ANY DEATH BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE RIDER AND ANY GUARANTEED PRINCIPAL ADJUSTMENT (FOR THE LIFETIME WITHDRAWAL GUARANTEE RIDERS, THE GUARANTEED MINIMUM INCOME BENEFIT PLUS RIDERS, AND THE GMIB MAX I RIDER) OR GUARANTEED ACCUMULATION PAYMENT (FOR THE GUARANTEED MINIMUM ACCUMULATION BENEFIT RIDER) THAT MAY ALSO BE PROVIDED BY THE RIDER. For a Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit rider where annuitization must occur no later than age 95 of the Annuitant, there are several annuity income options to choose from during the Income Phase of which you should be aware. See "Living Benefits - Description of the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II - Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee and Annuitization" and "Living Benefits - Description of the Enhanced Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit - Enhanced GWB and Annuitization" in the prospectus.

HIGHLIGHTS The variable annuity contract that we are offering is a contract between you, the Owner, and us, the insurance company, where you agree to make at least one Purchase Payment to us and we agree to make a series of Annuity Payments at a later date. The contract has a maximum issue age and you should consult with your registered representative. The contract provides a means for investing on a tax-deferred basis in our Fixed Account and the Investment Portfolios. The contract is intended for retirement savings or other long-term investment purposes. When you purchase the contract, you can choose an optional death benefit and fixed and variable income options. You can also select a guaranteed minimum income benefit (GMIB), a guaranteed withdrawal benefit (GWB), or a guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit (GMAB). We are obligated to pay all money we owe under the contracts, including death benefits, income payments, and amounts due under a GMIB, GWB, or GMAB. Any such amount that exceeds the assets in the Separate Account is paid from our general account, subject to our financial strength and claims-paying ability and our long-term ability to make such payments, and is not guaranteed by any other party. (See "Other Information - The Separate Account.") As a result of the Purchase Payment Credit feature of this contract, the contract is available only to prospective Owners who are age 80 or younger. We will add a Purchase Payment Credit to your Account Value with respect to your initial Purchase Payment and any subsequent Purchase Payment received by us prior to the contract anniversary immediately following your 81st birthday. The amount of the credit is 4% (an additional 1% credit is added if your total Purchase Payments equal $1 million or more). A portion of certain charges (the mortality and expense charge and the withdrawal charge) assessed under the contract are used to fund the credit. The contract, like all deferred annuity contracts, has two phases: the Accumulation Phase and the Income Phase. During the Accumulation Phase, earnings accumulate on a tax-deferred basis and are taxed as income when you make a withdrawal. If you make a withdrawal during the Accumulation Phase, we may assess a withdrawal charge of up to 8%. Certain withdrawals, depending on the amount and timing, may negatively impact the benefits and guarantees provided by your contract. You should carefully consider whether a withdrawal under a particular circumstance will have any negative impact to your benefits or guarantees. The impact of withdrawals generally on your benefits and guarantees is discussed in the corresponding sections of the prospectus describing such benefits and guarantees. The Income Phase occurs when you or a designated payee begin receiving regular Annuity Payments from your contract. You and the Annuitant (the person on whose life we base Annuity Payments) do not have to be the same, unless you purchase a tax qualified contract or elect a GMIB (see "Living Benefits - Guaranteed Income Benefits"). You can have Annuity Payments made on a variable basis, a fixed basis, or a combination of both. If you choose variable Annuity Payments, the amount of the variable Annuity Payments will depend upon the investment performance of the Investment Portfolio(s) you select for the Income Phase. If you choose fixed Annuity Payments, the amount of each payment will not change during the Income Phase. TAX DEFERRAL AND QUALIFIED PLANS. The contracts are offered for individuals and some tax qualified and non-tax qualified retirement plans. For any tax qualified account (e.g., an IRA), the tax deferred accrual feature is provided by the tax qualified retirement plan. Therefore, there should be reasons other than tax deferral for acquiring the contract within a qualified plan. (See "Federal Income Tax Status.") STATE VARIATIONS. Contracts issued in your state may provide different features and benefits from, and impose different costs than, those described in this prospectus because of state law variations. These differences include, among other things, free look rights, age issuance limitations, transfer rights and limitations, the right to reject Purchase Payments, the right to assess transfer fees, requirements for unisex annuity rates, the general availability of certain riders, and the availability of certain features of riders. However, please note that the maximum fees and charges for all features and benefits are set forth in the fee table in this prospectus. This prospectus describes all the material features of the contract. If you would like to review a copy of the contract and any endorsements, contact our Annuity Service Center. FREE LOOK. You may cancel the contract within 10 days after receiving it (or whatever period is required in your state). If you mail your cancellation request, the request must be postmarked by the appropriate day; if you deliver your cancellation request by hand, it must be received by us 7
N-412th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 12th
by the appropriate day. Unless otherwise required by state law, we will return the Account Value less the adjusted Purchase Payment Credit. The adjusted Purchase Payment Credit is equal to the lesser of: (1) the portion of the Account Value that is attributable to the Purchase Payment Credit; or (2) the total of Purchase Payment Credit(s). This means that you receive any investment gain on the Purchase Payment Credit(s) and MetLife Investors USA bears any loss. We will return your Purchase Payment if required by law. TAX PENALTY. The earnings in your contract are not taxed until you take money out of your contract. If you take money out of a Non-Qualified Contract during the Accumulation Phase, for tax purposes any earnings are deemed to come out first. If you are younger than 59 1/2 when you take money out, you may be charged a 10% federal tax penalty on those earnings. Payments during the Income Phase are considered partly a return of your original investment until your investment is returned. NON-NATURAL PERSONS AS OWNERS. If the Owner of a non-qualified annuity contract is not a natural person (e.g., a corporation, partnership or certain trusts), gains under the contract are generally not eligible for tax deferral. The Owner of this contract can be a natural person, a trust established for the exclusive benefit of a natural person, a charitable remainder trust or other trust arrangement (if approved by us). The Owner of this contract can also be a Beneficiary of a deceased person's contract that is an Individual Retirement Account or non-qualified deferred annuity. A contract generally may have two Owners (both of whom must be individuals). The contract is not available to corporations or other business organizations, except to the extent an employer is the purchaser of a SEP or SIMPLE IRA contract. Subject to state approval, certain retirement plans qualified under the Internal Revenue Code may purchase the contract. If a non-natural person is the Owner of a Non-Qualified Contract, the distribution on death rules under the Internal Revenue Code may require payment to begin earlier than expected and may impact the usefulness of the living and/or death benefits. NON-NATURAL PERSONS AS BENEFICIARIES. Naming a non-natural person, such as a trust or estate, as a Beneficiary under the contract will generally eliminate the Beneficiary's ability to stretch the contract or a spousal Beneficiary's ability to continue the contract and the living and/or death benefits.

Net Total Annual Portfolio Expenses shown in the table reflect any current fee waiver or expense reimbursement arrangement that will remain in effect for a period of at least one year from the date of the Investment Portfolio's 2014 prospectus. "0.00%" in the Contractual Expense Subsidy or Deferral column indicates that there is such an arrangement in effect for a Investment Portfolio, but that the expenses of the Investment Portfolio are below the level that would trigger the waiver or reimbursement. Fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements with a duration of less than one year, or arrangements that may be terminated without the consent of the Investment Portfolio's board of directors or trustees, are not shown. Certain Investment Portfolios that have "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses" are "funds of funds." A fund of funds invests substantially all of its assets in other underlying funds. Because the Investment Portfolio invests in other funds, it will bear its pro rata portion of the operating expenses of those underlying funds, including the management fee. 15

1. THE ANNUITY CONTRACT This prospectus describes the Variable Annuity Contract offered by us. The variable annuity contract is a contract between you as the Owner, and us, the insurance company, where we promise to pay an income to you, in the form of Annuity Payments, beginning on a designated date that you select. Until you decide to begin receiving Annuity Payments, your annuity is in the ACCUMULATION PHASE. Once you begin receiving Annuity Payments, your contract switches to the INCOME PHASE. The contract benefits from tax deferral. Tax deferral means that you are not taxed on earnings or appreciation on the assets in your contract until you take money out of your contract. For any tax qualified account (e.g., an IRA), the tax deferred accrual feature is provided by the tax qualified retirement plan. Therefore, there should be reasons other than tax deferral for acquiring the contract within a qualified plan. (See "Federal Income Tax Status.") The contract is called a variable annuity because you can choose among the Investment Portfolios and, depending upon market conditions, you can make or lose money in any of these portfolios. If you select the variable annuity portion of the contract, the amount of money you are able to accumulate in your contract during the Accumulation Phase depends upon the investment performance of the Investment Portfolio(s) you select. The amount of the Annuity Payments you receive during the Income Phase from the variable annuity portion of the contract also depends, in part, upon the investment performance of the Investment Portfolio(s) you select for the Income Phase. We do not guarantee the investment performance of the variable annuity portion. You bear the full investment risk for all amounts allocated to the variable annuity portion. However, there are certain optional features that provide guarantees that can reduce your investment risk (see "Living Benefits"). In most states, the contract also contains a FIXED ACCOUNT (contact your registered representative regarding your state). The Fixed Account is not offered by this prospectus. The Fixed Account offers an interest rate that is guaranteed by us. The minimum interest rate depends on the date your contract is issued but will not be less than 1%. Your registered representative can tell you the current and minimum interest rates that apply. If you select the Fixed Account, your money will be placed with our other general account assets, and the amount of money you are able to accumulate in your contract during the Accumulation Phase depends upon the total interest credited to your contract. The Fixed Account is part of our general account. Our general account consists of all assets owned by us other than those in the Separate Account and our other separate accounts. We have sole discretion over the investment of assets in the general account. If you select a fixed Annuity Payment option during the Income Phase, payments are made from our general account assets. The amount of the Annuity Payments you receive during the Income Phase from a fixed Annuity Payment option of the contract will remain level for the entire Income Phase. (Please see "Annuity Payments (The Income Phase)" for more information.) As Owner of the contract, you exercise all interests and rights under the contract. You can change the Owner at any time, subject to our underwriting rules (a change of ownership may terminate certain optional riders). The contract may be owned generally by Joint Owners (limited to two natural persons). We provide more information on this under "Other Information - Ownership." All contract provisions will be interpreted and administered in accordance with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). Any Code references to "spouses" include those persons who are married spouses under state law, regardless of sex. FREQUENT OR LARGE TRANSFERS We have policies and procedures that attempt to detect frequent transfers in situations where there is potential for pricing inefficiencies and where, therefore, the transfers may adversely affect contract Owners and other persons who have interests in the contracts. We employ various means to monitor transfer activity, such as periodically examining the frequency and size of an Owner's transfers into and out of Investment Portfolios that we believe present the potential for pricing inefficiencies. Our policies and procedures may result in transfer restrictions being applied to deter frequent transfers. Large transfers may increase brokerage and administrative costs of the Investment Portfolios and may disrupt portfolio management strategy. We do not monitor for large transfers except where a portfolio manager of a particular Investment Portfolio has brought large transfer activity to our attention, including "block transfers" where transfer requests have been submitted on behalf of multiple contract Owners by a third party, such as an investment 17
N-422nd Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 22nd
adviser. When we detect such large trades, we may impose restrictions similar to those described above. Our policies and procedures on frequent or large transfers are discussed in more detail in "Investment Options - Transfers - Restrictions on Frequent Transfers" and "Investment Options - Transfers - Restrictions on Large Transfers." We may revise these policies and procedures in our sole discretion at any time without prior notice. 2. PURCHASE As a result of the Purchase Payment Credit feature of this contract, the contract is available only to prospective Owners who are age 80 or younger. (See "Purchase Payment Credit" below.) The maximum issue age for the contract and certain of its riders may be reduced in connection with the offer of the contract through certain broker dealers ("selling firms"). In addition, certain riders may not be available through certain selling firms. You should discuss this with your registered representative. We reserve the right to reject any application. PURCHASE PAYMENTS A PURCHASE PAYMENT is the money you give us to invest in the contract. The initial Purchase Payment is due on the date the contract is issued. You may also be permitted to make subsequent Purchase Payments. Initial and subsequent Purchase Payments are subject to certain requirements. These requirements are explained below. We may restrict your ability to make subsequent Purchase Payments. The manner in which subsequent Purchase Payments may be restricted is discussed below. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PURCHASE PAYMENTS. The following requirements apply to initial and subsequent Purchase Payments: o The minimum initial Purchase Payment we will accept is $10,000. o If you want to make an initial Purchase Payment of $1 million or more, or a subsequent Purchase Payment that would cause your total Purchase Payments to exceed $1 million, you will need our prior approval. o The minimum subsequent Purchase Payment is $500 unless you have elected an electronic funds transfer program approved by us, in which case the minimum subsequent Purchase Payment is $100 per month. o We will accept a different amount if required by federal tax law. o We reserve the right to refuse Purchase Payments made via a personal check in excess of $100,000. Purchase Payments over $100,000 may be accepted in other forms, including, but not limited to, EFT/wire transfers, certified checks, corporate checks, and checks written on financial institutions. The form in which we receive a Purchase Payment may determine how soon subsequent disbursement requests may be fulfilled. (See "Access to Your Money.") o We will not accept Purchase Payments made with cash, money orders, or travelers checks. RESTRICTIONS ON SUBSEQUENT PURCHASE PAYMENTS. We may restrict your ability to make subsequent Purchase Payments. We will notify you in advance if we impose restrictions on subsequent Purchase Payments. You and your financial representative should carefully consider whether our ability to restrict subsequent Purchase Payments is consistent with your investment objectives. o We reserve the right to reject any Purchase Payment and to limit future Purchase Payments. This means that we may restrict your ability to make subsequent Purchase Payments for any reason, subject to applicable requirements in your state. We may make certain exceptions to restrictions on subsequent Purchase Payments in accordance with our established administrative procedures. o Certain riders have current restrictions on subsequent Purchase Payments that are described in more detail below. For more information, see these subsections below: "Restrictions on Subsequent Purchase Payments - GMIB Plus II, Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II, and EDB I," and "Restrictions on Subsequent Purchase Payments for GMIB I, GMIB Plus I, GWB I, Enhanced GWB, Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I, and GMAB." TERMINATION FOR LOW ACCOUNT VALUE We may terminate your contract by paying you the Account Value in one sum if, prior to the Annuity Date, you do not make Purchase Payments for two consecutive Contract Years, the total amount of Purchase Payments made, less any partial withdrawals, is less than $2,000 or any lower amount required by federal tax laws, and the Account Value on or after the end of such two year period 18
N-423rd Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 23rd
is less than $2,000. (A CONTRACT YEAR is defined as a one-year period starting on the date the contract is issued and on each contract anniversary thereafter.) Accordingly, no contract will be terminated due solely to negative investment performance. Federal tax law may impose additional restrictions on our right to cancel your Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, SEP, SIMPLE IRA or other Qualified Contract. We will not terminate the contract if it includes a Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee rider or Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit rider. In addition, we will not terminate any contract that includes a Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit or Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit rider or a guaranteed death benefit if at the time the termination would otherwise occur the Benefit Base/Income Base of the living benefit rider, or the guaranteed amount under any death benefit, is greater than the Account Value. For all other contracts, we reserve the right to exercise this termination provision, subject to obtaining any required regulatory approvals. ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS When you purchase a contract, we will allocate your Purchase Payment to the Fixed Account and/or any of the Investment Portfolios you have selected. You may not choose more than 18 Investment Portfolios (including the Fixed Account) at the time your initial Purchase Payment is allocated. Each allocation must be at least $500 and must be in whole numbers. We have reserved the right to restrict payments to the Fixed Account if any of the following conditions exist: o the credited interest rate on the Fixed Account is equal to the guaranteed minimum rate; or o your Account Value in the Fixed Account equals or exceeds our published maximum for Fixed Account allocation (currently, there is no limit); or o a transfer was made out of the Fixed Account within the previous 180 days. Once we receive your Purchase Payment and the necessary information (or a designee receives a payment and the necessary information in accordance with the designee's administrative procedures), we will issue your contract and allocate your first Purchase Payment within 2 Business Days. A BUSINESS DAY is each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. A Business Day closes at the close of normal trading on the New York Stock Exchange, usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. If you do not give us all of the information we need, we will contact you to get it before we make any allocation. If for some reason we are unable to complete this process within 5 Business Days, we will either send back your money or get your permission to keep it until we get all of the necessary information. (See "Other Information - Requests and Elections.") We may restrict the investment options available to you if you select certain optional riders. These restrictions are intended to reduce the risk of investment losses that could require us to use our own assets to pay amounts due under the selected optional rider. If you choose the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit Plus II rider, Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II rider, or Enhanced Death Benefit I rider, we require you to allocate your Purchase Payments and Account Value as described below under "Investment Allocation and Other Purchase Payment Restrictions for GMIB Plus II, Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II, and EDB I" until the rider terminates. If you choose the GMIB Plus I rider or the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I rider, until the rider terminates, we require you to allocate your Purchase Payments and Account Value as described in "Living Benefits - Guaranteed Income Benefits - Description of GMIB Plus I" and "Living Benefits - Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefits - Description of Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I." If you choose the Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit rider, until the rider terminates, we require you to allocate your Purchase Payments and Account Value solely to one Investment Portfolio (see "Living Benefits - Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit") (you may participate in the EDCA program, subject to restrictions). If you make additional Purchase Payments, we will allocate them in the same way as your first Purchase Payment unless you tell us otherwise. However, if you make an additional Purchase Payment while an EDCA or Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) program is in effect, we will not allocate the additional Purchase Payment to the EDCA or DCA program, unless you tell us to do so. Instead, unless you give us other instructions, we will allocate the additional Purchase Payment directly to the same destination Investment Portfolios you selected under the EDCA or DCA program. (See "Investment Options - Dollar Cost Averaging Programs.") You may change your allocation instructions at any time by notifying us in 19
N-424th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 24th
writing, by calling us or by Internet. You may not choose more than 18 Investment Portfolios (including the Fixed Account) at the time you submit a subsequent Purchase Payment. If you wish to allocate the payment to more than 18 Investment Portfolios (including the Fixed Account), we must have your request to allocate future Purchase Payments to more than 18 Investment Portfolios on record before we can apply your subsequent Purchase Payment to your chosen allocation. If there are Joint Owners, unless we are instructed to the contrary, we will accept allocation instructions from either Joint Owner. INVESTMENT ALLOCATION RESTRICTIONS FOR CERTAIN RIDERS INVESTMENT ALLOCATION AND OTHER PURCHASE PAYMENT RESTRICTIONS FOR GMIB PLUS II, LIFETIME WITHDRAWAL GUARANTEE II, AND EDB I ALLOCATION. If you elect the GMIB Plus II, the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II, or the Enhanced Death Benefit I, you must comply with certain investment allocation restrictions. SPECIFICALLY, YOU MUST ALLOCATE ACCORDING TO EITHER ------ (A) OR (B) BELOW: (A) You must allocate: o 100% of your Purchase Payments or Account Value among the AllianceBernstein Global Dynamic Allocation Portfolio, Allianz Global Investors Dynamic Multi-Asset Plus Portfolio, American Funds (Reg.

WE WILL REJECT ANY PURCHASE PAYMENTS OR TRANSFER REQUESTS THAT DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS. Certain selling firms do not offer option (B) at the time your initial Purchase Payment is allocated. Please contact our Annuity Service Center if you wish to change your allocation selection to option (B). We determine whether an investment option is classified as Platform 1, Platform 2, Platform 3 or Platform 4. We may determine or change the classification of an investment option in the event that an investment option is added, deleted, substituted, merged or otherwise reorganized. You will not be required to reallocate Purchase Payments or Account Value that you allocated to an investment option before we changed its classification, unless you make a new Purchase Payment or request a transfer among investment options (other than pursuant to rebalancing and Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging programs in existence at the time the classification of the investment option changed). If you make a new Purchase Payment or request a transfer among investment options, you will be required to take the new classification into account in the allocation of your entire Account Value. We will provide you with prior written notice of any changes in classification of investment options. 21
N-426th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 26th
REBALANCING. If you choose to allocate according to (B) above, we will rebalance your Account Value on a quarterly basis based on your most recent allocation of Purchase Payments that complies with the allocation limitations described above. We will also rebalance your Account Value when we receive a subsequent Purchase Payment that is accompanied by new allocation instructions (in addition to the quarterly rebalancing). We will first rebalance your Account Value on the date that is three months from the rider issue date; provided however, if a quarterly rebalancing date occurs on the 29th, 30th or 31st of a month, we will instead rebalance on the 1st day of the following month. We will subsequently rebalance your Account Value on each quarter thereafter on the same day. In addition, if a quarterly rebalancing date is not a Business Day, the reallocation will occur on the next Business Day. Withdrawals from the contract will not result in rebalancing on the date of withdrawal. The rebalancing requirement described above does not apply if you choose to allocate according to (A) above. SUBSEQUENT PURCHASE PAYMENTS. Subsequent Purchase Payments must be allocated in accordance with the above limitations. When allocating according to (B) above, it is important to remember that the entire Account Value will be immediately reallocated according to any new allocation instructions that accompany a subsequent Purchase Payment, if the new allocation instructions differ from those previously received for the contract. Allocating according to (B) does not permit you to specify different allocations for individual Purchase Payments. Due to the rebalancing and reallocation requirements of (B), the entire account will be immediately reallocated according to the most recently provided allocation instructions. Example: ------- Your Account Value is $100,000 and allocated 70% to the Pioneer Fund Portfolio and 30% to the PIMCO Total Return Portfolio using Option B of the Portfolio Flexibility Program. You make a subsequent Purchase Payment of $5,000 and provide instructions to allocate 100% of that payment to the BlackRock Money Market Portfolio. As a result of the new allocation instructions, your entire Account Value of $105,000 will then be reallocated to the BlackRock Money Market Portfolio. EDCA. If you choose to allocate according to (B) above and you choose to allocate a Purchase Payment to the EDCA account, that entire Purchase Payment must be allocated only to the EDCA account. Any transfer from an EDCA account must be allocated in accordance with the limitations described under (B) above. In addition, if you made previous Purchase Payments before allocating a Purchase Payment to the EDCA account, all transfers from an EDCA account must be allocated to the same investment options as your most recent allocations for Purchase Payments. CHANGING PURCHASE PAYMENT ALLOCATION INSTRUCTIONS. You may change your Purchase Payment allocation instructions under (B) above at any time by providing notice to us, at our Annuity Service Center, or by any other method acceptable to us, provided that such instructions comply with the allocation limits described above. If you provide new allocation instructions for Purchase Payments and if these instructions conform to the allocation limits described under (B) above, then we will rebalance in accordance with the revised allocation instructions. Any future Purchase Payment, EDCA account transfer and quarterly rebalancing allocations will be automatically updated in accordance with these new instructions. TRANSFERS. Please note that any transfer request must result in an Account Value that meets the allocation limits described above. Any transfer request will not cause your allocation instructions to change unless you provide us with a separate instruction at the time of transfer. RESTRICTIONS ON SUBSEQUENT PURCHASE PAYMENTSGMIB PLUS II, LIFETIME WITHDRAWAL GUARANTEE II, AND EDB I CURRENT RESTRICTIONS ON SUBSEQUENT PURCHASE PAYMENTS. If applicable in your state and except as noted below, until further notice we will not accept subsequent Purchase Payments from you after the close of the New York Stock Exchange on August 17, 2012 if your contract was issued with one or more of the following riders: GMIB Plus II, Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II, and EDB I. You still will be permitted to transfer Account Value among the Investment Portfolios available with your contract and rider. If subsequent Purchase Payments will be permitted in the future, we will notify you in writing, in advance of the date the restriction will end. We will permit you to make a subsequent Purchase Payment when either of the following conditions apply to your contract: (a) your Account Value is below the 22
N-427th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 27th
minimum described in the "Purchase - Termination for Low Account Value" section; or (b) the rider charge is greater than your Account Value. In addition, for IRAs (including annuity contracts held under Custodial IRAs), we will permit subsequent Purchase Payments up to your applicable annual IRS limits, provided the subsequent Purchase Payment is not in the form of a transfer or rollover from another tax-qualified plan or tax-qualified investment. We will permit subsequent Purchase Payments for Qualified Contracts (other than IRAs and annuity contracts held under Custodial IRAs), provided the subsequent Purchase Payment is not in the form of a transfer or rollover from another tax-qualified plan. If your contract was issued in one of the following states, this restriction ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- does not apply and you may continue to make subsequent Purchase Payments at -------------- this time: Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, or Washington. RESTRICTIONS ON SUBSEQUENT PURCHASE PAYMENTS FOR GMIB I, GMIB PLUS I, GWB I, ENHANCED GWB, LIFETIME WITHDRAWAL GUARANTEE I, AND GMAB CURRENT RESTRICTIONS ON SUBSEQUENT PURCHASE PAYMENTS. If applicable in your state and except as noted below, until further notice we will not accept subsequent Purchase Payments from you after the close of the New York Stock Exchange on August 17, 2012 if your contract was issued with one of the following optional riders: GMIB I, GMIB Plus I, GWB I, Enhanced GWB, Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I, and GMAB. You still will be permitted to transfer Account Value among the Investment Portfolios available with your contract and rider. If subsequent Purchase Payments will be permitted in the future, we will notify you in writing, in advance of the date the restriction will end. We will permit you to make a subsequent Purchase Payment when either of the following conditions apply to your contract: (a) your Account Value is below the minimum described in the "Purchase - Termination for Low Account Value" section; or (b) the rider charge is greater than your Account Value. In addition, for IRAs (including annuity contracts held under Custodial IRAs), we will permit subsequent Purchase Payments up to your applicable annual IRS limits, provided the subsequent Purchase Payment is not in the form of a transfer or rollover from another tax-qualified plan or tax-qualified investment. We will permit subsequent Purchase Payments for Qualified Contracts (other than IRAs and annuity contracts held under Custodial IRAs), provided the subsequent Purchase Payment is not in the form of a transfer or rollover from another tax-qualified plan. If your contract was issued in one of the following states, this restriction ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- does not apply and you may continue to make subsequent Purchase Payments at -------------- this time: Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, or Washington. PURCHASE PAYMENT CREDIT Your Account Value will be credited with an additional amount (PURCHASE PAYMENT CREDIT) with respect to your initial Purchase Payment and each subsequent Purchase Payment received by us prior to the contract anniversary immediately following your 81st birthday (if Joint Owners are named, the age of the older Joint Owner will apply, and if a non-natural person owns the contract, then the Annuitant's age will apply). The Purchase Payment Credit is an amount equal to 4% of the Purchase Payment. For contracts with Purchase Payments of $1,000,000 or more, the amount of the credit increases to 5%. The additional 1% credit will not be applied retroactively (which means that the additional 1% credit will only be applied to the payment that brings your total Purchase Payments to the $1,000,000 level and all subsequent payments). From time to time, we may offer promotional programs with higher Purchase Payment Credit rates that apply to contracts issued between specified dates. If your contract is issued during such a program, the amount of the Purchase Payment Credit you receive is determined by the terms of the program that was in effect when your contract was issued. You should know that over time and under certain circumstances (such as withdrawal when a withdrawal charge applies, or after an extended period of poor market performance) the costs associated with this product may exceed the Purchase Payment Credit amount and any related earnings. If you exercise the free-look provision, MetLife Investors USA will take back the Purchase Payment Credit(s) as described below. Each Purchase Payment Credit will be allocated to the contract in the same proportion as the applicable Purchase 23
N-428th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 28th
Payment. All Purchase Payment Credits are treated as earnings under the contract. FREE LOOK If you change your mind about owning this contract, you can cancel it within 10 days after receiving it (or the period required in your state). We ask that you submit your request to cancel in writing, signed by you, to our Annuity Service Center. When you cancel the contract within this "free look" period, we will not assess a withdrawal charge. Unless otherwise required by state law, we will return the Account Value less the adjusted Purchase Payment Credits. The adjusted Purchase Payment Credits are equal to the lesser of: (1) the portion of the Account Value that is attributable to the Purchase Payment Credits, or (2) the total of Purchase Payment Credit(s). This means that you receive any investment gain on the Purchase Payment Credit(s) and MetLife Investors USA bears any loss. In certain states, we are required to give you back your Purchase Payment if you decide to cancel your contract during the free look period. ACCUMULATION UNITS The portion of your Account Value allocated to the Separate Account will go up or down depending upon the investment performance of the Investment Portfolio(s) you choose. In order to keep track of this portion of your Account Value, we use a unit of measure we call an ACCUMULATION UNIT. (An Accumulation Unit works like a share of a mutual fund.) Every Business Day as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time), we determine the value of an Accumulation Unit for each of the Investment Portfolios by multiplying the Accumulation Unit value for the immediately preceding Business Day by a factor for the current Business Day. The factor is determined by: 1) dividing the net asset value per share of the Investment Portfolio at the end of the current Business Day, plus any dividend or capital gains per share declared on behalf of the Investment Portfolio as of that day, by the net asset value per share of the Investment Portfolio for the previous Business Day, and 2) multiplying it by one minus the Separate Account product charges (including any rider charge for the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit, the Compounded-Plus Death Benefit, and/or the Additional Death Benefit-Earnings Preservation Benefit) for each day since the last Business Day and any charges for taxes. The value of an Accumulation Unit may go up or down from day to day. When you make a Purchase Payment, we credit your contract with Accumulation Units. The number of Accumulation Units credited is determined by dividing the amount of the Purchase Payment allocated to an Investment Portfolio by the value of the Accumulation Unit for that Investment Portfolio. Purchase Payments and transfer requests are credited to a contract on the basis of the Accumulation Unit value next determined after receipt of a Purchase Payment or transfer request. Purchase Payments or transfer requests received before the close of the New York Stock Exchange will be credited to your ------ contract that day, after the New York Stock Exchange closes. Purchase Payments or transfer requests received after the close of the New York Stock Exchange, ----- or on a day when the New York Stock Exchange is not open, will be treated as received on the next day the New York Stock Exchange is open (the next Business Day). EXAMPLE: On Monday we receive an additional Purchase Payment of $5,000 from you before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. We add an additional $200 to your contract as a Purchase Payment Credit. You have told us you want this to go to the T. Rowe Price Large Cap Value Portfolio. When the New York Stock Exchange closes on that Monday, we determine that the value of an Accumulation Unit for the T. Rowe Price Large Cap Value Portfolio is $12.50. We then divide $5,200 by $12.50 and credit your contract on Monday night with 416 Accumulation Units for the T. Rowe Price Large Cap Value Portfolio. ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE is equal to the sum of your interests in the Investment Portfolios, the Fixed Account, and the EDCA account. Your interest in each Investment Portfolio is determined by multiplying the number of Accumulation Units for that portfolio by the value of the Accumulation Unit. REPLACEMENT OF CONTRACTS Generally you can exchange one variable annuity contract for another in a tax-free exchange under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code. Before making an exchange, 24
N-429th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 29th
you should compare both annuities carefully. If you exchange another annuity for the one described in this prospectus, you might have to pay a surrender charge on your old annuity, and there will be a new surrender charge period for this contract. Other charges may be higher (or lower) and the benefits may be different. Also, because we will not issue the contract until we have received the initial premium from your existing insurance company, the issuance of the contract may be delayed. Generally, it is not advisable to purchase a contract as a replacement for an existing variable annuity contract. Before you exchange another annuity for our contract, ask your registered representative whether the exchange would be advantageous, given the contract features, benefits and charges. Series XC is not available to Purchase Payments that consist of money exchanged or transferred from other annuities issued by us or our affiliates. 3. INVESTMENT OPTIONS The contract offers 63 INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS, which are listed below. Additional Investment Portfolios may be available in the future. YOU SHOULD READ THE PROSPECTUSES FOR THESE FUNDS CAREFULLY. YOU CAN OBTAIN COPIES OF THE FUND PROSPECTUSES BY CALLING OR WRITING TO US AT: METLIFE INVESTORS USA INSURANCE COMPANY, ANNUITY SERVICE CENTER, P.O. BOX 10366, DES MOINES, IOWA 50306-0366, (800) 343-8496. YOU CAN ALSO OBTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS (INCLUDING A COPY OF THE STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION) BY ACCESSING THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION'S WEBSITE AT HTTP:// WWW.SEC.GOV. APPENDIX B CONTAINS A SUMMARY OF ADVISERS, SUBADVISERS, AND INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES FOR EACH INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO. The investment objectives and policies of certain of the Investment Portfolios may be similar to the investment objectives and policies of other mutual funds that certain of the portfolios' investment advisers manage. Although the objectives and policies may be similar, the investment results of the Investment Portfolios may be higher or lower than the results of such other mutual funds. The investment advisers cannot guarantee, and make no representation, that the investment results of similar funds will be comparable even though the funds may have the same investment advisers. Shares of the Investment Portfolios may be offered to insurance company Separate Accounts of both variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts and to qualified plans. Due to differences in tax treatment and other considerations, the interests of various Owners participating in, and the interests of qualified plans investing in the Investment Portfolios may conflict. The Investment Portfolios will monitor events in order to identify the existence of any material irreconcilable conflicts and determine what action, if any, should be taken in response to any such conflict. CERTAIN PAYMENTS WE RECEIVE WITH REGARD TO THE INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS. An investment adviser (other than our affiliate MetLife Advisers, LLC) or subadviser of an Investment 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 of expenses for certain administrative, marketing, and support services with respect to the contracts and, in our role as an intermediary, with respect to the Investment 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 Investment Portfolio assets. Contract Owners, through their indirect investment in the Investment Portfolios, bear the costs of these advisory fees (see the Investment Portfolios' prospectuses for more information). The amount of the payments we receive is based on a percentage of assets of the Investment Portfolios attributable to the contracts and certain other variable insurance products that we and our affiliates issue. These percentages differ and some advisers or subadvisers (or their affiliates) may pay us more than others. These percentages currently range up to 0.50%. Additionally, an investment adviser (other than our affiliate MetLife Advisers, LLC) or subadviser of an Investment Portfolio or its affiliates may provide us with wholesaling services that assist in the distribution of the contracts 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 subadviser (or its affiliate) with increased access to persons involved in the distribution of the contracts. We and/or certain of our affiliated insurance companies have joint ownership interests in our affiliated investment adviser, MetLife Advisers, LLC, which is formed as a "limited liability company." Our ownership interests in MetLife Advisers, LLC entitle us to profit distributions if 25
N-430th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 30th
the adviser makes a profit with respect to the advisory fees it receives from the Investment Portfolios. We will benefit accordingly from assets allocated to the Investment Portfolios to the extent they result in profits to the adviser. (See "Fee Tables and Examples - Investment Portfolio Expenses" for information on the management fees paid by the Investment Portfolios and the Statement of Additional Information for the Investment Portfolios for information on the management fees paid by the adviser to the subadvisers.) Certain Investment Portfolios have adopted a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. An Investment Portfolio's 12b-1 Plan, if any, is described in more detail in the Investment Portfolio's prospectus. (See "Fee Tables and Examples - Investment Portfolio Expenses" and "Distributor.") Any payments we receive pursuant to those 12b-1 Plans are paid to us or our distributor. Payments under an Investment Portfolio's 12b-1 Plan decrease the Investment Portfolio's investment return. We select the Investment Portfolios offered through this contract based on a number of 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 Investment Portfolio's adviser or subadviser is one of our affiliates or whether the Investment Portfolio, its adviser, its subadviser(s), or an affiliate will make payments to us or our affiliates. In this regard, the profit distributions we receive from our affiliated investment adviser 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 to those that are not, we may be more inclined to offer portfolios advised by our affiliates in the variable insurance products we issue. We review the Investment Portfolios periodically and may remove an Investment Portfolio or limit its availability to new Purchase Payments and/or transfers of Account Value if we determine that the Investment Portfolio no longer meets one or more of the selection criteria, and/or if the Investment Portfolio has not attracted significant allocations from contract Owners. In some cases, we have included Investment Portfolios based on recommendations made by selling firms. These selling firms may receive payments from the Investment Portfolios they recommend and may benefit accordingly from the allocation of Account Value to such Investment Portfolios. WE DO NOT PROVIDE ANY INVESTMENT ADVICE AND DO NOT RECOMMEND OR ENDORSE ANY PARTICULAR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO. YOU BEAR THE RISK OF ANY DECLINE IN THE ACCOUNT VALUE OF YOUR CONTRACT RESULTING FROM THE PERFORMANCE OF THE INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS YOU HAVE CHOSEN. We make certain payments to American Funds Distributors, Inc., principal underwriter for the American Funds Insurance Series (Reg. TM). (See "Other Information - Distributor.")

Therefore, each of these Investment Portfolios will bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying portfolios or 27
N-432nd Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 32nd
Underlying ETFs in which it invests in addition to its own management fees and expenses. This will reduce the investment return of each of the fund of funds Investment Portfolios. The expense levels will vary over time, depending on the mix of underlying portfolios or Underlying ETFs in which the fund of funds Investment Portfolio invests. Contract Owners may be able to realize lower aggregate expenses by investing directly in the underlying portfolios and Underlying ETFs instead of investing in the fund of funds Investment Portfolios, if such underlying portfolios or Underlying ETFs are available under the contract. However, no Underlying ETFs and only some of the underlying portfolios are available under the contract. TRANSFERS GENERAL. You can transfer a portion of your Account Value among the Fixed Account and the Investment Portfolios. The contract provides that you can make a maximum of 12 transfers every year and that each transfer is made without charge. We measure a year from the anniversary of the day we issued your contract. We currently allow unlimited transfers but reserve the right to limit this in the future. We may also limit transfers in circumstances of frequent or large transfers, or other transfers we determine are or would be to the disadvantage of other contract Owners. (See "Restrictions on Frequent Transfers" and "Restrictions on Large Transfers" below.) We are not currently charging a transfer fee, but we reserve the right to charge such a fee in the future. If such a charge were to be imposed, it would be $25 for each transfer over 12 in a year. The transfer fee will be deducted from the Investment Portfolio or Fixed Account from which the transfer is made. However, if the entire interest in an account is being transferred, the transfer fee will be deducted from the amount which is transferred. You can make a transfer to or from any Investment Portfolio or the Fixed Account, subject to the limitations below. All transfers made on the same Business Day will be treated as one transfer. Transfers received before the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange will take effect as of the end of the Business Day. The following apply to any transfer: o Your request for transfer must clearly state which Investment Portfolio(s) or the Fixed Account are involved in the transfer. o Your request for transfer must clearly state how much the transfer is for. o The minimum amount you can transfer is $500 from an Investment Portfolio, or your entire interest in the Investment Portfolio, if less (this does not apply to pre-scheduled transfer programs). o The minimum amount that may be transferred from the Fixed Account is $500, or your entire interest in the Fixed Account. Transfers out of the Fixed Account during the Accumulation Phase are limited to the greater of: (a) 25% of the Fixed Account value at the beginning of the Contract Year, or (b) the amount transferred out of the Fixed Account in the prior Contract Year. Currently we are not imposing these restrictions on transfers out of the Fixed Account, but we have the right to reimpose them at any time. You should be aware that, if transfer restrictions are imposed, it may take a while (even if you make no additional Purchase Payments or transfers into the Fixed Account) to make a complete transfer of your Account Value from the Fixed Account. When deciding whether to invest in the Fixed Account it is important to consider whether the transfer restrictions fit your risk tolerance and time horizon. o You may not make a transfer to more than 18 Investment Portfolios (including the Fixed Account) at any time if the request is made by telephone to our voice response system or by Internet. A request to transfer to more than 18 Investment Portfolios (including the Fixed Account) may be made by calling or writing our Annuity Service Center. o If you have elected to add the GMIB Plus I, GMIB Plus II, Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I, Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II, or Enhanced Death Benefit I rider to your contract, you may only make transfers between certain Investment Portfolios. Please refer to the sections "Purchase-Allocation of Purchase Payments" and "Purchase-Investment Allocation Restrictions for Certain Riders." o If you have elected to add the Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit rider to your contract, you may not transfer out of the Investment Portfolio you chose at issue until the rider terminates. Please refer to the section "Living Benefits-Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit." During the Accumulation Phase, to the extent permitted by applicable law, during times of drastic economic or market conditions, we may suspend the transfer privilege temporarily without notice and treat transfer requests 28
N-433rd Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 33rd
based on their separate components (a redemption order with simultaneous request for purchase of another Investment Portfolio). In such a case, the redemption order would be processed at the source Investment Portfolio's next determined Accumulation Unit value. However, the purchase of the new Investment Portfolio would be effective at the next determined Accumulation Unit value for the new Investment Portfolio only after we receive the proceeds from the source Investment Portfolio, or we otherwise receive cash on behalf of the source Investment Portfolio. For transfers during the Accumulation Phase, we have reserved the right to restrict transfers to the Fixed Account if any one of the following conditions exist: o the credited interest rate on the Fixed Account is equal to the guaranteed minimum rate; or o your Account Value in the Fixed Account equals or exceeds our published maximum for Fixed Account allocation (currently, there is no limit); or o a transfer was made out of the Fixed Account within the previous 180 days. During the Income Phase, you cannot make transfers from a fixed Annuity Payment option to the Investment Portfolios. You can, however, make transfers during the Income Phase from the Investment Portfolios to a fixed Annuity Payment option and among the Investment Portfolios. TRANSFERS BY TELEPHONE OR OTHER MEANS. You may elect to make transfers by telephone, Internet or other means acceptable to us. To elect this option, you must first provide us with a notice or agreement in a form that we may require. If you own the contract with a Joint Owner, unless we are instructed otherwise, we will accept instructions from either you or the other Owner. (See "Other Information - Requests and Elections.") All transfers made on the same day will be treated as one transfer. A transfer will be made as of the end of the Business Day when we receive a notice containing all the required information necessary to process the request. We will consider telephone and Internet requests received after the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time), or on a day when the New York Stock Exchange is not open, to be received on the next day the New York Stock Exchange is open (the next Business Day). PRE-SCHEDULED TRANSFER PROGRAM. There are certain programs that involve transfers that are pre-scheduled. When a transfer is made as a result of such a program, we do not count the transfer in determining the applicability of any transfer fee and certain minimums do not apply. The current pre-scheduled transfers are made in conjunction with the following: Dollar Cost Averaging, Three Month Market Entry and Automatic Rebalancing Programs. RESTRICTIONS ON FREQUENT TRANSFERS. Frequent requests from contract Owners to transfer Account Value may dilute the value of an Investment 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"). Frequent transfers involving arbitrage trading may adversely affect the long-term performance of the Investment Portfolios, which may in turn adversely affect contract Owners and other persons who may have an interest in the contracts (E.G., Annuitants and 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 Investment Portfolios (i.e., the Baillie Gifford International Stock Portfolio, BlackRock High Yield Portfolio, Clarion Global Real Estate Portfolio, Harris Oakmark International Portfolio, Invesco Small Cap Growth Portfolio, Loomis Sayles Global Markets Portfolio, Lord Abbett Bond Debenture Portfolio, Met/Eaton Vance Floating Rate Portfolio, Met/Dimensional International Small Company Portfolio, Met/Templeton International Bond Portfolio, MFS (Reg. TM) Emerging Markets Equity Portfolio, MFS (Reg. TM) Research International Portfolio, MSCI EAFE (Reg. TM) Index Portfolio, Neuberger Berman Genesis Portfolio, Pioneer Strategic Income Portfolio, Russell 2000 (Reg. TM) Index Portfolio, Third Avenue Small Cap Value Portfolio, and Van Eck Global Natural Resources Portfolio), and we monitor transfer activity in those portfolios (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 Account Value; and (3) two or more 29
N-434th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 34th
"round-trips" involving 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 INVESTMENT 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. Our policies and procedures may result in transfer restrictions being applied to deter frequent transfers. Currently, when we detect transfer activity in the Monitored Portfolios that exceeds our current transfer limits, we require future transfer requests to or from any Monitored Portfolios under that contract to be submitted with an original signature. A first occurrence will result in the imposition of this restriction for a six month period; a second occurrence will result in the permanent imposition of the restriction. Transfers made under a Dollar Cost Averaging Program, a rebalancing program or, if applicable, any asset allocation program described in this prospectus are not treated as transfers when we monitor the frequency of transfers. The detection and deterrence of harmful transfer activity involves judgments that are inherently subjective, such as the decision to monitor only those Investment 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 Owners to avoid such detection. Our ability to restrict such transfer activity also may be limited by provisions of the contract. Accordingly, there is no assurance that we will prevent all transfer activity that may adversely affect Owners and other persons with interests in the contracts. We do not accommodate frequent transfers in any Investment Portfolio and there are no arrangements in place to permit any contract Owner to engage in frequent transfers; we apply our policies and procedures without exception, waiver, or special arrangement. The Investment Portfolios may have adopted their own policies and procedures with respect to frequent transfers in their respective shares, and we reserve the right to enforce these policies and procedures. For example, Investment 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 Investment 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 transfer policies and procedures of the Investment Portfolios, we have entered into a written agreement, as required by SEC regulation, with each Investment Portfolio or its principal underwriter that obligates us to provide to the Investment Portfolio promptly upon request certain information about the trading activity of individual contract Owners, and to execute instructions from the Investment Portfolio to restrict or prohibit further purchases or transfers by specific contract Owners who violate the frequent transfer policies established by the Investment Portfolio. In addition, contract Owners and other persons with interests in the contracts should be aware that the purchase and redemption orders received by the Investment 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 contracts and/or individual retirement plan participants. The omnibus nature of these orders may limit the Investment Portfolios in their ability to apply their frequent transfer 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 Investment Portfolios (and thus contract Owners) will not be harmed by transfer activity relating to other insurance companies and/or retirement plans that may invest in the Investment Portfolios. If an Investment Portfolio believes that an omnibus order reflects one or more transfer requests from contract Owners engaged in frequent trading, the Investment 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 Investment Portfolios, including any refusal or restriction on purchases or redemptions of their shares as a result of their own policies 30
N-435th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 35th
and procedures on frequent transfers (even if an entire omnibus order is rejected due to the frequent transfers of a single contract Owner). You should read the Investment Portfolio prospectuses for more details. RESTRICTIONS ON LARGE TRANSFERS. Large transfers may increase brokerage and administrative costs of the Investment Portfolios and may disrupt portfolio management strategy, requiring an Investment Portfolio to maintain a high cash position and possibly resulting in lost investment opportunities and forced liquidations. We do not monitor for large transfers to or from Investment Portfolios except where the portfolio manager of a particular Investment Portfolio has brought large transfer activity to our attention for investigation on a case-by-case basis. For example, some portfolio managers have asked us to monitor for "block transfers" where transfer requests have been submitted on behalf of multiple contract Owners by a third party such as an investment adviser. When we detect such large trades, we may impose restrictions similar to those described above where future transfer requests from that third party must be submitted in writing with an original signature. A first occurrence will result in the imposition of this restriction for a six-month period; a second occurrence will result in the permanent imposition of the restriction. DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PROGRAMS We offer two dollar cost averaging programs as described below. By allocating amounts on a regular schedule as opposed to allocating the total amount at one particular time, you may be less susceptible to the impact of market fluctuations. You can elect only one dollar cost averaging program at a time. The dollar cost averaging programs are available only during the Accumulation Phase. If you make an additional Purchase Payment while a Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) or Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging (EDCA) program is in effect, we will not allocate the additional payment to the DCA or EDCA program unless you tell us to do so. Instead, unless you previously provided different allocation instructions for future Purchase Payments or provide new allocation instructions with the payment, we will allocate the additional Purchase Payment directly to the same destination Investment Portfolios you selected under the DCA or EDCA program. Any Purchase Payments received after the DCA or EDCA program has ended will be allocated as described in "Purchase - Allocation of Purchase Payments." We reserve the right to modify, terminate or suspend any of the dollar cost averaging programs. There is no additional charge for participating in any of the dollar cost averaging programs. If you participate in any of the dollar cost averaging programs, the transfers made under the program are not taken into account in determining any transfer fee. We may, from time to time, offer other dollar cost averaging programs which have terms different from those described in this prospectus. We will terminate your participation in a dollar cost averaging program when we receive notification of your death. The two dollar cost averaging programs are: 1. STANDARD DOLLAR COST AVERAGING (DCA) This program allows you to systematically transfer a set amount each month from the Fixed Account or from a money market Investment Portfolio to any of the other available Investment Portfolio(s) you select. We provide certain exceptions from our normal Fixed Account restrictions to accommodate the dollar cost averaging program. These transfers are made on a date you select or, if you do not select a date, on the date that a Purchase Payment (including Purchase Payment Credits applied to your contract) or Account Value is allocated to the dollar cost averaging program. However, transfers will be made on the 1st day of the following month for Purchase Payments or Account Value allocated to the dollar cost averaging program on the 29th, 30th, or 31st day of a month. If you allocate an additional Purchase Payment to your existing DCA program, the DCA transfer amount will not be increased; however, the number of months over which transfers are made is increased, unless otherwise elected in writing. You can terminate the program at any time, at which point transfers under the program will stop. This program is not available if you have selected the GMIB 31
N-436th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 36th
Plus I rider, the GMIB Plus II rider, the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II rider, the GMAB rider, or the Enhanced Death Benefit I rider. 2. ENHANCED DOLLAR COST AVERAGING (EDCA) PROGRAM The Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging (EDCA) program allows you to systematically transfer amounts from a guaranteed account option, the EDCA account in the general account, to any available Investment Portfolio(s) you select. Except as discussed below, only new Purchase Payments or portions thereof can be allocated to an EDCA account. The transfer amount will be equal to the amount allocated to the EDCA account divided by a specified number of months (currently 6 or 12 months). For example, a $12,000 allocation to a 6-month program will consist of six $2,000 transfers, and a final transfer of the interest processed separately as a seventh transfer. When a subsequent Purchase Payment is allocated by you to your existing EDCA account, we create "buckets" within your EDCA account. o The EDCA transfer amount will be increased by the subsequent Purchase Payment divided by the number of EDCA months (6 or 12 months as you selected) and thereby accelerates the time period over which transfers are made. o Each allocation (bucket) resulting from a subsequent Purchase Payment will earn interest at the then current interest rate applied to new allocations to an EDCA account of the same monthly term. o Allocations (buckets) resulting from each Purchase Payment, along with the interest credited, will be transferred on a first-in, first-out basis. Using the example above, a subsequent $6,000 allocation to a 6 month EDCA will increase the EDCA transfer amount from $2,000 to $3,000 ($2,000 plus $6,000/6). This increase will have the effect of accelerating the rate at which the 1st payment bucket is exhausted. (See Appendix C for further examples of EDCA with multiple Purchase Payments.) The interest rate earned in an EDCA account will be the minimum guaranteed rate, plus any additional interest which we may declare from time to time. The minimum interest rate depends on the date your contract is issued, but will not be less than 1%. The interest rate earned in an EDCA account is paid over time on declining amounts in the EDCA account. Therefore, the amount of interest payments you receive will decrease as amounts are systematically transferred from the EDCA account to any Investment Portfolio, and the effective interest rate earned will therefore be less than the declared interest rate. The first transfer we make under the EDCA program is the date your Purchase Payment is allocated to your EDCA account. Subsequent transfers will be made each month thereafter on the same day. However, transfers will be made on the 1st day of the following month for Purchase Payments allocated on the 29th, 30th, or 31st day of a month. If the selected day is not a Business Day, the transfer will be deducted from the EDCA account on the selected day but will be applied to the Investment Portfolios on the next Business Day. EDCA interest will not be credited on the transfer amount between the selected day and the next Business Day. Transfers will continue on a monthly basis until all amounts are transferred from your EDCA account. Your EDCA account will be terminated as of the last transfer. If you decide you no longer want to participate in the EDCA program, or if we receive notification of your death, and your contract was issued prior to May 1, 2005, your participation in the EDCA program will be terminated and all money remaining in your EDCA account will be transferred to the BlackRock Money Market Portfolio, unless you specify otherwise. If you decide you no longer want to participate in the EDCA program, or if we receive notification of your death, and your contract was issued on or after May 1, 2005, your participation in the EDCA program will be terminated and all money remaining in your EDCA account will be transferred to the Investment Portfolio(s) in accordance with the percentages you have chosen for the EDCA program, unless you specify otherwise. The EDCA program is not available in Oregon. THREE MONTH MARKET ENTRY PROGRAM Alternatively, you can participate in the Three Month Market Entry Program which operates in the same manner as the Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging Program, except it is of 3 months duration. AUTOMATIC REBALANCING PROGRAM Once your money has been allocated to the Investment Portfolios, the performance of each portfolio may cause your allocation to shift. You can direct us to automatically rebalance your contract to return to your original percentage allocations by selecting our Automatic 32
N-437th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 37th
Rebalancing Program. You can tell us whether to rebalance monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. An automatic rebalancing program is intended to transfer Account Value from those portfolios that have increased in value to those that have declined or not increased as much in value. Over time, this method of investing may help you "buy low and sell high," although there can be no assurance that this objective will be achieved. Automatic rebalancing does not guarantee profits, nor does it assure that you will not have losses. We will measure the rebalancing periods from the anniversary of the date we issued your contract. If a dollar cost averaging (either DCA or EDCA) program is in effect, rebalancing allocations will be based on your current DCA or EDCA allocations. If you are not participating in a dollar cost averaging program, we will make allocations based upon your current Purchase Payment allocations, unless you tell us otherwise. The Automatic Rebalancing Program is available only during the Accumulation Phase. There is no additional charge for participating in the Automatic Rebalancing Program. If you participate in the Automatic Rebalancing Program, the transfers made under the program are not taken into account in determining any transfer fee. We will terminate your participation in the Automatic Rebalancing Program when we receive notification of your death. If you have selected the GMIB Plus II rider, the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II rider, or the Enhanced Death Benefit I rider, the Fixed Account is available for automatic rebalancing. The Automatic Rebalancing Program is not available if you have selected the GMAB rider. EXAMPLE: Assume that you want your initial Purchase Payment split between two Investment Portfolios. You want 40% to be in the Lord Abbett Bond Debenture Portfolio and 60% to be in the ClearBridge Aggressive Growth Portfolio. Over the next 2 1/2 months the bond market does very well while the stock market performs poorly. At the end of the first quarter, the Lord Abbett Bond Debenture Portfolio now represents 50% of your holdings because of its increase in value. If you have chosen to have your holdings rebalanced quarterly, on the first day of the next quarter, we will sell some of your units in the Lord Abbett Bond Debenture Portfolio to bring its value back to 40% and use the money to buy more units in the ClearBridge Aggressive Growth Portfolio to increase those holdings to 60%. VOTING RIGHTS We are the legal owner of the Investment Portfolio shares. However, we believe that when an Investment Portfolio solicits proxies in conjunction with a vote of shareholders, we are required to obtain from you and other affected Owners instructions as to how to vote those shares. When we receive those instructions, we will vote all of the shares we own in proportion to those instructions. This will also include any shares that we own on our own behalf. The effect of this proportional voting is that a small number of contract Owners may control the outcome of a vote. Should we determine that we are no longer required to comply with the above, we will vote the shares in our own right. SUBSTITUTION OF INVESTMENT OPTIONS If investment in the Investment Portfolios or a particular Investment Portfolio is no longer possible, in our judgment becomes inappropriate for purposes of the contract, or for any other reason in our sole discretion, we may substitute another Investment Portfolio or Investment Portfolios without your consent. The substituted Investment Portfolio may have different fees and expenses. Substitution may be made with respect to existing investments or the investment of future Purchase Payments, or both. However, we will not make such substitution without any necessary approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission and applicable state insurance departments. Furthermore, we may close Investment Portfolios to allocation of Purchase Payments or Account Value, or both, at any time in our sole discretion. 4. EXPENSES There are charges and other expenses associated with the contract that reduce the return on your investment in the contract. These charges and expenses are: PRODUCT CHARGES SEPARATE ACCOUNT PRODUCT CHARGES. Each day, we make a deduction for our Separate Account product charges (which consist of the mortality and expense charge, the administration charge and the charges related to certain death benefit riders). We do this as part of our calculation of the value of the Accumulation Units and the Annuity Units (I.E., during the Accumulation Phase and the Income Phase - although death benefit charges no longer continue in the Income Phase). 33
N-438th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 38th
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE CHARGE. We assess a daily mortality and expense charge that is equal, on an annual basis, to 1.30% of the average daily net asset value of each Investment Portfolio. This charge compensates us for mortality risks we assume for the Annuity Payment and death benefit guarantees made under the contract. These guarantees include making Annuity Payments that will not change based on our actual mortality experience, and providing a guaranteed minimum death benefit under the contract. The charge also compensates us for expense risks we assume to cover contract maintenance expenses. These expenses may include issuing contracts, maintaining records, making and maintaining subaccounts available under the contract and performing accounting, regulatory compliance, and reporting functions. This charge also compensates us for costs associated with the establishment and administration of the contract, including programs like transfers and dollar cost averaging. If the mortality and expense charge is inadequate to cover the actual expenses of mortality, maintenance, and administration, we will bear the loss. If the charge exceeds the actual expenses, we will add the excess to our profit and it may be used to finance distribution expenses or for any other purpose. ADMINISTRATION CHARGE. This charge is equal, on an annual basis, to 0.25% of the average daily net asset value of each Investment Portfolio. This charge, together with the account fee (see below), is for the expenses associated with the administration of the contract. Some of these expenses are: issuing contracts, maintaining records, providing accounting, valuation, regulatory and reporting services, as well as expenses associated with marketing, sale and distribution of the contracts. DEATH BENEFIT RIDER CHARGES. If you select one of the following death benefit riders, we will deduct a charge that compensates us for the costs and risks we assume in providing the benefit. This charge (assessed during the Accumulation Phase) is equal, on an annual basis, to the percentages below of the average daily net asset value of each Investment Portfolio: [Download Table] Annual Step-Up Death Benefit 0.20%* Compounded-Plus Death Benefit 0.35%* Additional Death Benefit - Earnings Preservation Benefit 0.25 % *For contracts issued prior to May 1, 2003, the percentage charge for the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit is 0.10% and for the Compounded-Plus Death Benefit is 0.25% of the average daily net asset value of each Investment Portfolio. Please check with your registered representative regarding which death benefits are available in your state. If you select the Enhanced Death Benefit I, and you are age 69 or younger at issue, we will assess a charge during the Accumulation Phase equal to 0.75% of the Death Benefit Base. If you are age 70-75 at issue, we will assess a charge during the Accumulation Phase equal to 0.95% of the Death Benefit Base (see "Death Benefit - Optional Death Benefit - Enhanced Death Benefit I" for a discussion of how the Death Benefit Base is determined). If your Death Benefit Base is increased due to an Optional Step-Up, we may reset the Enhanced Death Benefit I charge to a rate that does not exceed the lower of: (a) the Maximum Optional Step-Up Charge (1.50%) or (b) the current rate that we would charge for the same rider available for new contract purchases at the time of the Optional Step-Up. Starting with the first contract anniversary, the charge is assessed for the prior Contract Year at each contract anniversary before any Optional Step-Up. If you: make a full withdrawal (surrender); begin to receive Annuity Payments at the Annuity Date; change the Owner or Joint Owner (or the Annuitant, if a non-natural person owns the contract); or assign the contract, a pro rata portion of the Enhanced Death Benefit I charge will be assessed based on the number of months from the last contract anniversary to the date of the withdrawal, the beginning of Annuity Payments, the change of Owner/Annuitant, or the assignment. If the Enhanced Death Benefit I rider is terminated because the contract is terminated; because the death benefit amount is determined; or because there are insufficient funds to deduct the rider charge from the Account Value, no Enhanced Death Benefit I charge will be assessed based on the number of months from the last contract anniversary to the date the termination takes effect. The Enhanced Death Benefit I charge is deducted from your Account Value pro rata from each Investment Portfolio, the Fixed Account and the EDCA account in the ratio each portfolio/account bears to your total Account Value. We take amounts from the investment options that are part of the Separate Account by canceling Accumulation Units from the Separate Account. 34
N-439th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 39th
For contracts issued from February 24, 2009 through May 1, 2009, the percentage charge for the Enhanced Death Benefit I is 0.65% of the Death Benefit Base if you were age 69 or younger at issue and 0.90% of the Death Benefit Base if you were age 70-75 at issue. For contracts issued on or before February 23, 2009, the percentage charge for the Enhanced Death Benefit I is 0.65% of the Death Benefit Base if you were age 69 or younger at issue and 0.85% of the Death Benefit Base if you were age 70-75 at issue. For contracts issued on or before May 1, 2009, if you elected both the Enhanced Death Benefit I rider and the GMIB Plus II rider (described below), the percentage charge for the Enhanced Death Benefit I is reduced by 0.05%. ACCOUNT FEE During the Accumulation Phase, every Contract Year on your contract anniversary (the anniversary of the date when your contract was issued), we will deduct $30 from your contract as an account fee for the prior Contract Year if your Account Value is less than $50,000. If you make a complete withdrawal from your contract, the full account fee will be deducted from the Account Value regardless of the amount of your Account Value. During the Accumulation Phase, the account fee is deducted pro rata from the Investment Portfolios. This charge is for administrative expenses (see above). This charge cannot be increased. A pro rata portion of the charge will be deducted from the Account Value on the Annuity Date if this date is other than a contract anniversary. If your Account Value on the Annuity Date is at least $50,000, then we will not deduct the account fee. After the Annuity Date, the charge will be collected monthly out of the Annuity Payment, regardless of the size of your contract. GUARANTEED MINIMUM INCOME BENEFIT - RIDER CHARGE We offer a Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB) that you can select when you purchase the contract. There are four different versions of the GMIB under this contract: GMIB Plus II, GMIB Plus I, GMIB II, and GMIB I. If you select a GMIB rider, we assess a charge during the Accumulation Phase equal to a percentage of the Income Base at the time the rider charge is assessed. (See "Living Benefits - Guaranteed Income Benefits" for a description of how the Income Base is determined.) The percentage charges for each version of the GMIB rider are listed below. The GMIB rider charge is assessed at the first contract anniversary, and then at each subsequent contract anniversary, up to and including the anniversary on or immediately preceding the date the rider is exercised. If you: make a full withdrawal (surrender); begin to receive Annuity Payments at the Annuity Date; change the Owner or Joint Owner (or the Annuitant, if a non-natural person owns the contract); or assign the contract, a pro rata portion of the GMIB rider charge will be assessed based on the number of months from the last contract anniversary to the date of the withdrawal, the beginning of Annuity Payments, the change of Owner/Annuitant, or the assignment. If a GMIB rider is terminated for the following reasons, no GMIB rider charge will be assessed based on the number of months from the last contract anniversary to the date the termination takes effect: o the death of the Owner or Joint Owner (or the Annuitant, if a non-natural person owns the contract); o because it is the 30th day following the contract anniversary prior to the Owner's 86th birthday (for GMIB I, GMIB II, or GMIB Plus I) or 91st birthday (for GMIB Plus II); or o the Guaranteed Principal Option is exercised (only applicable to GMIB Plus I and GMIB Plus II). The GMIB rider charge is deducted from your Account Value pro rata from each Investment Portfolio, the Fixed Account and the EDCA account in the ratio each portfolio/ account bears to your total Account Value. We take amounts from the investment options that are part of the Separate Account by canceling Accumulation Units from the Separate Account. For versions of the GMIB rider with an Optional Step-Up feature (GMIB Plus II) or Optional Reset feature (GMIB Plus I), the rider charge is assessed on the Income Base prior to any Optional Step-Up or Optional Reset. (See "Living Benefits - Guaranteed Income Benefits" for information on Optional Step-Ups.) We reserve the right to increase the rider charge upon an Optional Step-Up or Optional Reset, up to a rate that does not exceed the lower of: (a) 1.50% of the Income Base (the Maximum Optional Step-Up or Optional Reset Charge), or 35
N-440th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 40th
(b) the current rate that we would charge for the same rider available for new contract purchases at the time of the Optional Step-Up or Optional Reset. The increased rider charge will apply after the contract anniversary on which the Optional Step-Up or Optional Reset occurs. (See below for certain versions of the GMIB Plus II and GMIB Plus I riders for which we are currently increasing the rider charge upon an Optional Step-Up or Optional Reset on a contract anniversary occurring on July 1, 2012 or later.) If you selected the GMIB Plus II rider with a contract issued on or before February 23, 2009, the rider charge is 0.80% of the Income Base. If you selected the GMIB Plus II rider with a contract issued on or after February 24, 2009, the rider charge is 1.00% of the Income Base. For contracts issued with the version of the GMIB Plus II rider with an annual increase rate of 6%, if your Income Base is increased due to an Optional Step-Up on a contract anniversary occurring on July 1, 2012 or later, we currently will increase the rider charge to 1.20% of the Income Base, applicable after the contract anniversary on which the Optional Step-Up occurs. If you selected the GMIB Plus I with a contract issued on or before February 23, 2007, the rider charge is 0.75% of the Income Base. If your Income Base is increased due to an Optional Reset on a contract anniversary occurring on July 1, 2012 or later, we currently will increase the rider charge to 1.00% of the Income Base, applicable after the contract anniversary on which the Optional Reset occurs. If you selected the GMIB Plus I with a contract issued on and after February 26, 2007, the rider charge is 0.80% of the Income Base. If your Income Base is increased due to an Optional Reset on a contract anniversary occurring on July 1, 2012 or later, we currently will increase the rider charge to 1.20% of the Income Base, applicable after the contract anniversary on which the Optional Reset occurs. If you selected the GMIB II rider or the GMIB I rider, the rider charge is 0.50% of the Income Base. For contracts issued from May 1, 2003 and on or before April 29, 2005 for which the GMIB II or GMIB I was elected, the rider charge is reduced to 0.45% of the Income Base if you elected either the optional Annual Step-Up Death Benefit or the Compounded-Plus Death Benefit. (See "Death Benefit.") For contracts issued on and after May 2, 2005, the rider charge is not reduced if you elected either the optional Annual Step-Up Death Benefit or the Compounded-Plus Death Benefit. For contracts issued prior to February 15, 2003, the GMIB I rider charge equals 0.35% of the Income Base. LIFETIME WITHDRAWAL GUARANTEE AND GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT - RIDER CHARGE There are two versions of the optional Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee rider: the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II rider and the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I rider (collectively referred to as the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee riders). There are also two versions of the optional Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (GWB) rider: the Enhanced GWB rider and the GWB I rider (collectively referred to as the Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit riders). If you elect one of the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee riders or one of the Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit riders, a charge is deducted from your Account Value during the Accumulation Phase on each contract anniversary. The percentage charges for each version of the LWG and GWB riders are listed below. For the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee riders, the charge is a percentage of the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount (see "Living Benefits - Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefits - Description of the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II" and "Description of the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I") on the contract anniversary, prior to taking into account any Automatic Annual Step-Up occurring on such contract anniversary. For the versions of the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee riders with Compounding Income Amounts, the charge is calculated after applying the Compounding Income Amount. (See ""Living Benefits - Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefits - Description of the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II" and "Description of the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I" for information on Automatic Annual Step-Ups and Compounding Income Amounts.) For the Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit riders, the charge is a percentage of the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount (see "Living Benefits - Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefits - Description of the Enhanced Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit") on the contract anniversary, prior to taking into account any Optional Reset occurring on such contract anniversary. (See "Living Benefits - Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefits - Description of the Enhanced Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit" and "Description of the 36

Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit I" for information on Optional Resets.) If you: make a full withdrawal (surrender) of your Account Value; you apply all of your Account Value to an Annuity Option: there is a change in Owners, Joint Owners or Annuitants (if the Owner is a non-natural person): the contract terminates (except for a termination due to death); or (under the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II rider) you assign your contract, a pro rata portion of the rider charge will be assessed based on the number of full months from the last contract anniversary to the date of the change. If a Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee rider or Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit rider is terminated because of the death of the Owner, Joint Owner or Annuitants (if the Owner is a non-natural person), or if a Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee rider or Enhanced GWB rider is cancelled pursuant to the cancellation provisions of each rider, no rider charge will be assessed based on the period from the most recent contract anniversary to the date the termination takes effect. The Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee and Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit rider charges are deducted from your Account Value pro rata from each Investment Portfolio, the Fixed Account and the EDCA account in the ratio each portfolio/account bears to your total Account Value. We take amounts from the investment options that are part of the Separate Account by canceling Accumulation Units from the Separate Account. LIFETIME WITHDRAWAL GUARANTEE RIDERS - AUTOMATIC ANNUAL STEP-UP. We reserve the right to increase the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee rider charge upon an Automatic Annual Step-Up. The increased rider charge will apply after the contract anniversary on which the Automatic Annual Step-Up occurs. If an Automatic Annual Step-Up occurs under the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II or Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I rider, we may reset the rider charge applicable beginning after the contract anniversary on which the Automatic Annual Step-Up occurs to a rate that does not exceed the lower of: (a) the Maximum Automatic Annual Step-Up Charge or (b) the current rate that we would charge for the same rider available for new contract purchases at the time of the Automatic Annual Step-Up. o For contracts issued with the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II rider on or after February 24, 2009, the Maximum Automatic Annual Step-Up Charge is 1.60% for the Single Life version and 1.80% for the Joint Life version. o For contracts issued with the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II rider on or before February 23, 2009, the Maximum Automatic Annual Step-Up Charge is 1.25% for the Single Life version and 1.50% for the Joint Life version. o For contracts issued with the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I rider, the Maximum Automatic Annual Step-Up Charge is 0.95% for the Single Life version and 1.40% for the Joint Life version. (See below for certain versions of the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee riders for which we are currently increasing the rider charge upon an Automatic Annual Step-Up on a contract anniversary occurring on July 1, 2012 or later.) LIFETIME WITHDRAWAL GUARANTEE RIDERS - RIDER CHARGES. For contracts issued with the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II on or after February 24, 2009, the rider charge is 1.25% (Single Life version) or 1.50% (Joint Life version) of the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount. For contracts issued with the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II on or before February 23, 2009, the rider charge is 0.65% (Single Life version) or 0.85% (Joint Life version) of the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount. If your Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount is increased due to an Automatic Annual Step-Up on a contract anniversary occurring on July 1, 2012 or later, we currently will increase the rider charge for the Single Life version to 0.95% of the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount, and we will increase the rider charge for the Joint Life version to 1.20% of the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount, applicable after the contract anniversary on which the Automatic Annual Step-Up occurs. The rider charge for the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I is 0.50% (Single Life version) or 0.70% (Joint Life version) of the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount. If your Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount is increased due to an Automatic Annual Step-Up on a contract anniversary occurring on July 1, 2012 or later, we currently will increase the rider charge for the Single Life version to 0.80% of the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount, and we will increase the rider charge for the Joint Life version to 1.05% of the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount, applicable after the contract anniversary on which the Automatic Annual Step-Up occurs. 37

GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT RIDERS - OPTIONAL RESET. We reserve the right to increase the Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit rider charge upon an Optional Reset. The increased rider charge will apply after the contract anniversary on which the Optional Reset occurs. o If an Optional Reset occurs under a contract issued with the Enhanced GWB rider on or after July 16, 2007, we may reset the rider charge applicable beginning after the contract anniversary on which the Optional Reset occurs to the rate that would be applicable to current contract purchases of the same rider at the time of the Optional Reset, but to no more than a maximum of 1.00% of the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount. o If an Optional Reset occurs under a contract issued with the Enhanced GWB rider on or before July 13, 2007, we may reset the rider charge applicable beginning after the contract anniversary on which the Optional Reset occurs to the rate that would be applicable to current contract purchases of the same rider at the time of the Optional Reset, but to no more than a maximum of 0.95% of the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount. o If an Optional Reset occurs under a contract with the GWB I rider, we may reset the rider charge applicable beginning after the contract anniversary on which the Optional Reset occurs to the rate that would be applicable to current contract purchases of the same rider at the time of the reset, but to no more than a maximum of 0.95% of the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount. GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT RIDERS - RIDER CHARGES. For contracts issued with the Enhanced GWB rider on or after July 16, 2007, the rider charge is 0.55% of the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount. For contracts issued with the Enhanced GWB rider on or before July 13, 2007, the rider charge is 0.50% of the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount. The rider charge for the GWB I is 0.50% of the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount. GUARANTEED MINIMUM ACCUMULATION BENEFIT - RIDER CHARGE If you elected the GMAB, a charge is deducted from your Account Value during the Accumulation Phase on each contract anniversary. The charge is equal to 0.75% of the GMAB Guaranteed Accumulation Amount (see "Living Benefits-Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit") at the end of the prior Contract Year. The GMAB rider charge is deducted from your Account Value pro rata from the Investment Portfolio and the EDCA account in the ratio each portfolio/account bears to your total Account Value. We take amounts from the investment options that are part of the Separate Account by cancelling Accumulation Units from the Separate Account. If you make a full withdrawal (surrender) of your Account Value or you apply your Account Value to an Annuity Option, we will assess a pro rata portion of the GMAB rider charge based on the number of whole months since the last contract anniversary. WITHDRAWAL CHARGE We impose a withdrawal charge to reimburse us for contract sales expenses, including commissions and other distribution, promotion, and acquisition expenses. During the Accumulation Phase, you can make a withdrawal from your contract (either a partial or a complete withdrawal). If the amount you withdraw is determined to include the withdrawal of any of your prior Purchase Payments, a withdrawal charge is assessed against each Purchase Payment withdrawn. To determine what portion (if any) of a withdrawal is subject to a withdrawal charge, amounts are withdrawn from your contract in the following order: 1. Earnings in your contract (earnings are equal to your Account Value, less Purchase Payments not previously withdrawn); then 2. The free withdrawal amount described below (deducted from Purchase Payments not previously withdrawn, in the order such Purchase Payments were made, with the oldest Purchase Payment first, as described below); then 3. Purchase Payments not previously withdrawn, in the order such Purchase Payments were made: the oldest Purchase Payment first, the next Purchase Payment second, etc. until all Purchase Payments have been withdrawn. The withdrawal charge is calculated at the time of each withdrawal in accordance with the following: 38
N-443rd Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 43rd
[Download Table] Number of Complete Years from Withdrawal Charge Receipt of Purchase Payment (% of Purchase Payment) ------------------------------ ------------------------ 0 8 1 8 2 8 3 7 4 6 5 5 6 4 7 3 8 2 9 and thereafter 0 For a partial withdrawal, the withdrawal charge is deducted from the remaining Account Value, if sufficient. If the remaining Account Value is not sufficient, the withdrawal charge is deducted from the amount withdrawn. If the Account Value is smaller than the total of all Purchase Payments, the withdrawal charge only applies up to the Account Value. We do not assess the withdrawal charge on any payments paid out as Annuity Payments or as death benefits, although we do assess the withdrawal charge in calculating GMIB payments, if applicable. In addition, we will not assess the withdrawal charge on required minimum distributions from Qualified Contracts in order to satisfy federal income tax rules or to avoid required federal income tax penalties. This exception only applies to amounts required to be distributed from this contract. We do not assess the withdrawal charge on earnings in your contract. NOTE: For tax purposes, earnings from Non-Qualified Contracts are considered to come out first. FREE WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT. The free withdrawal amount for each Contract Year after the first (there is no free withdrawal amount in the first Contract Year) is equal to 10% of your total Purchase Payments, less the total free withdrawal amount previously withdrawn in the same Contract Year. Also, we currently will not assess the withdrawal charge on amounts withdrawn during the first Contract Year under the Systematic Withdrawal Program. Any unused free withdrawal amount in one Contract Year does not carry over to the next Contract Year. REDUCTION OR ELIMINATION OF THE WITHDRAWAL CHARGE NURSING HOME OR HOSPITAL CONFINEMENT RIDER. We will not impose a withdrawal charge if, after you have owned the contract for one year, you or your Joint Owner becomes confined to a nursing home and/or hospital for at least 90 consecutive days or confined for a total of at least 90 days if there is no more than a 6-month break in confinement and the confinements are for related causes. The confinement must begin after the first contract anniversary and you must have been the Owner continuously since the contract was issued (or have become the Owner as the spousal Beneficiary who continues the contract). The confinement must be prescribed by a physician and be medically necessary. You must exercise this right no later than 90 days after you or your Joint Owner exits the nursing home or hospital. This waiver terminates on the Annuity Date. We will not accept additional payments once this waiver is used. There is no charge for this rider. This rider is not available in Massachusetts. TERMINAL ILLNESS RIDER. After the first contract anniversary, we will waive the withdrawal charge if you or your Joint Owner are terminally ill and not expected to live more than 12 months; a physician certifies to your illness and life expectancy; you were not diagnosed with the terminal illness as of the date we issued your contract; and you have been the Owner continuously since the contract was issued (or have become the Owner as the spousal Beneficiary who continues the contract). This waiver terminates on the Annuity Date. We will not accept additional payments once this waiver is used. There is no charge for this rider. This rider is not available in Massachusetts. For contracts issued on and after May 1, 2005, the Nursing Home or Hospital Confinement rider and the Terminal Illness rider are not available for Owners who are age 81 or older (on the contract issue date). Additional conditions and requirements apply to the Nursing Home or Hospital Confinement rider and the Terminal Illness rider. They are specified in the rider(s) that are part of your contract. PREMIUM AND OTHER TAXES We reserve the right to deduct from Purchase Payments, account balances, withdrawals, death benefits or income payments any taxes relating to the contracts (including, but not limited to, premium taxes) paid by us to any government entity. Examples of these taxes include, but are not limited to, premium tax, generation-skipping transfer tax or a similar excise tax under federal or state tax law which is imposed on payments we make to certain persons and income tax withholdings on withdrawals and income 39
N-444th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 44th
payments to the extent required by law. Premium taxes generally range from 0 to 3.5%, depending on the state. We will, at our sole discretion, determine when taxes relate to the contracts. We may, at our sole discretion, pay taxes when due and deduct that amount from the account balance at a later date. Payment at an earlier date does not waive any right we may have to deduct amounts at a later date. It is our current practice not to charge premium taxes until Annuity Payments begin. TRANSFER FEE We currently allow unlimited transfers without charge during the Accumulation Phase. However, we have reserved the right to limit the number of transfers to a maximum of 12 per year without charge and to charge a transfer fee of $25 for each transfer greater than 12 in any year. We are currently waiving the transfer fee, but reserve the right to charge it in the future. The transfer fee is deducted from the Investment Portfolio or Fixed Account from which the transfer is made. However, if the entire interest in an account is being transferred, the transfer fee will be deducted from the amount which is transferred. If the transfer is part of a pre-scheduled transfer program, it will not count in determining the transfer fee. INCOME TAXES We reserve the right to deduct from the contract for any income taxes which we incur because of the contract. In general, we believe under current federal income tax law, we are entitled to hold reserves with respect to the contract that offset Separate Account income. If this should change, it is possible we could incur income tax with respect to the contract, and in that event we may deduct such tax from the contract. At the present time, however, we are not incurring any such income tax or making any such deductions. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO EXPENSES There are deductions from and expenses paid out of the assets of each Investment Portfolio, which are described in the fee table in this prospectus and the Investment Portfolio prospectuses. These deductions and expenses are not charges under the terms of the contract, but are represented in the share values of each Investment Portfolio. 5. ANNUITY PAYMENTS (THE INCOME PHASE) ANNUITY DATE Under the contract you can receive regular income payments (referred to as ANNUITY PAYMENTS). You can choose the month and year in which those payments begin. We call that date the ANNUITY DATE. Your Annuity Date must be the first day of a calendar month and must be at least 30 days after we issue the contract. When you purchase the contract, the Annuity Date will be the first day of the calendar month after the Annuitant's 90th birthday. You can change or extend the Annuity Date at any time before the Annuity Date with 30 days prior notice to us (subject to restrictions that may apply in your state, restrictions imposed by your selling firm, and our current established administrative procedures). PLEASE BE AWARE THAT ONCE YOUR CONTRACT IS ANNUITIZED, YOU ARE INELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE THE DEATH BENEFIT YOU HAVE SELECTED. ADDITIONALLY, IF YOU HAVE SELECTED A LIVING BENEFIT RIDER SUCH AS A GUARANTEED MINIMUM INCOME BENEFIT, A GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT, OR THE GUARANTEED MINIMUM ACCUMULATION BENEFIT, ANNUITIZING YOUR CONTRACT TERMINATES THE RIDER, INCLUDING ANY DEATH BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE RIDER AND ANY GUARANTEED PRINCIPAL ADJUSTMENT (FOR THE GMIB PLUS OR LIFETIME WITHDRAWAL GUARANTEE RIDERS) OR GUARANTEED ACCUMULATION PAYMENT (FOR THE GUARANTEED MINIMUM ACCUMULATION BENEFIT RIDER) THAT MAY ALSO BE PROVIDED BY THE RIDER. ANNUITY PAYMENTS You (unless another payee is named) will receive the Annuity Payments during the Income Phase. The Annuitant is the natural person(s) whose life we look to in the determination of Annuity Payments. 40
N-445th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 45th
During the Income Phase, you have the same investment choices you had just before the start of the Income Phase. At the Annuity Date, you can choose whether payments will be: o fixed Annuity Payments, or o variable Annuity Payments, or o a combination of both. If you don't tell us otherwise, your Annuity Payments will be based on the investment allocations that were in place just before the start of the Income Phase. If you choose to have any portion of your Annuity Payments based on the Investment Portfolio(s), the dollar amount of your initial payment will vary and will depend upon three things: 1) the value of your contract in the Investment Portfolio(s) just before the start of the Income Phase, 2) the assumed investment return (AIR) (you select) used in the annuity table for the contract, and 3) the Annuity Option elected. Subsequent variable Annuity Payments will vary with the performance of the Investment Portfolios you selected. (For more information, see "Variable Annuity Payments" below.) At the time you choose an Annuity Option, you select the AIR, which must be acceptable to us. Currently, you can select an AIR of 3% or 4%. You can change the AIR with 30 days notice to us prior to the Annuity Date. If you do not select an AIR, we will use 3%. If the actual performance exceeds the AIR, your variable Annuity Payments will increase. Similarly, if the actual investment performance is less than the AIR, your variable Annuity Payments will decrease. Your variable Annuity Payment is based on ANNUITY UNITS. An Annuity Unit is an accounting device used to calculate the dollar amount of Annuity Payments. (For more information, see "Variable Annuity Payments" below.) When selecting an AIR, you should keep in mind that a lower AIR will result in a lower initial variable Annuity Payment, but subsequent variable Annuity Payments will increase more rapidly or decline more slowly as changes occur in the investment experience of the Investment Portfolios. On the other hand, a higher AIR will result in a higher initial variable Annuity Payment than a lower AIR, but later variable Annuity Payments will rise more slowly or fall more rapidly. A transfer during the Income Phase from a variable Annuity Payment option to a fixed Annuity Payment option may result in a reduction in the amount of Annuity Payments. If you choose to have any portion of your Annuity Payments be a fixed Annuity Payment, the dollar amount of each fixed Annuity Payment will not change, unless you make a transfer from a variable Annuity Payment option to the fixed Annuity Payment that causes the fixed Annuity Payment to increase. Please refer to the "Annuity Provisions" section of the Statement of Additional Information for more information. Annuity Payments are made monthly (or at any frequency permitted under the contract) unless you have less than $5,000 to apply toward an Annuity Option. In that case, we may provide your Annuity Payment in a single lump sum instead of Annuity Payments. Likewise, if your Annuity Payments would be or become less than $100 a month, we have the right to change the frequency of payments so that your Annuity Payments are at least $100. ANNUITY OPTIONS You can choose among income plans. We call those ANNUITY OPTIONS. You can change your Annuity Option at any time before the Annuity Date with 30 days notice to us. If you do not choose an Annuity Option, Option 2, which provides a life annuity with 10 years of guaranteed Annuity Payments, will automatically be applied. You can choose one of the following Annuity Options or any other Annuity Option acceptable to us. After Annuity Payments begin, you cannot change the Annuity Option. If more than one frequency is permitted under your contract, choosing less frequent payments will result in each Annuity Payment being larger. Annuity options that guarantee that payments will be made for a certain number of years regardless of whether the Annuitant or joint Annuitant are alive (such as Options 2 and 4 below) result in Annuity Payments that are smaller than Annuity Options without such a guarantee (such as Options 1 and 3 below). For Annuity Options with a designated period, choosing a 41
N-446th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 46th
shorter designated period will result in each Annuity Payment being larger. OPTION 1. LIFE ANNUITY. Under this option, we will make Annuity Payments so long as the Annuitant is alive. We stop making Annuity Payments after the Annuitant's death. It is possible under this option to receive only one Annuity Payment if the Annuitant dies before the due date of the second payment or to receive only two Annuity Payments if the Annuitant dies before the due date of the third payment, and so on. OPTION 2. LIFE ANNUITY WITH 10 YEARS OF ANNUITY PAYMENTS GUARANTEED. Under this option, we will make Annuity Payments so long as the Annuitant is alive. If, when the Annuitant dies, we have made Annuity Payments for less than ten years, we will then continue to make Annuity Payments to the Beneficiary for the rest of the 10 year period. OPTION 3. JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR ANNUITY. Under this option, we will make Annuity Payments so long as the Annuitant and a second person (joint Annuitant) are both alive. When either Annuitant dies, we will continue to make Annuity Payments, so long as the survivor continues to live. We will stop making Annuity Payments after the last survivor's death. OPTION 4. JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR ANNUITY WITH 10 YEARS OF ANNUITY PAYMENTS GUARANTEED. Under this option, we will make Annuity Payments so long as the Annuitant and a second person (joint Annuitant) are both alive. When either Annuitant dies, we will continue to make Annuity Payments, so long as the survivor continues to live. If, at the last death of the Annuitant and the joint Annuitant, we have made Annuity Payments for less than ten years, we will then continue to make Annuity Payments to the Beneficiary for the rest of the 10 year period. OPTION 5. PAYMENTS FOR A DESIGNATED PERIOD. We currently offer an Annuity Option under which fixed or variable monthly Annuity Payments are made for a selected number of years as approved by us, currently not less than 10 years. This Annuity Option may be limited or withdrawn by us in our discretion. We may require proof of age or sex of an Annuitant before making any Annuity Payments under the contract that are measured by the Annuitant's life. If the age or sex of the Annuitant has been misstated, the amount payable will be the amount that the Account Value would have provided at the correct age or sex. Once Annuity Payments have begun, any underpayments will be made up in one sum with the next Annuity Payment. Any overpayments will be deducted from future Annuity Payments until the total is repaid. You may withdraw the commuted value of the payments remaining under the variable Payments for a Designated Period Annuity Option (Option 5). You may not commute the fixed Payments for a Designated Period Annuity Option or any option involving a life contingency, whether fixed or variable, prior to the death of the last surviving Annuitant. Upon the death of the last surviving Annuitant, the Beneficiary may choose to continue receiving income payments or to receive the commuted value of the remaining guaranteed payments. For variable Annuity Options, the calculation of the commuted value will be done using the AIR applicable to the contract. (See "Annuity Payments" above.) For fixed Annuity Options, the calculation of the commuted value will be done using the then current Annuity Option rates. There may be tax consequences resulting from the election of an Annuity Payment option containing a commutation feature (I.E., an Annuity Payment option that permits the withdrawal of a commuted value). (See "Federal Income Tax Status.") Due to underwriting, administrative or Internal Revenue Code considerations, there may be limitations on payments to the survivor under Options 3 and 4 and/or the duration of the guarantee period under Options 2, 4, and 5. Tax rules with respect to decedent contracts may prohibit the election of Joint and Last Survivor Annuity Options (or income types) and may also prohibit payments for as long as the Owner's life in certain circumstances. In addition to the Annuity Options described above, we may offer an additional payment option that would allow your Beneficiary to take distribution of the Account Value over a period not extending beyond his or her life expectancy. Under this option, annual distributions would not be made in the form of an annuity, but would be calculated in a manner similar to the calculation of required minimum distributions from IRAs. (See "Federal Income Tax Status.") We intend to make this payment option available to both Qualified Contracts and Non-Qualified Contracts. In the event that you purchased the contract as a Qualified Contract, you must take distribution of the Account Value in accordance with the minimum required distribution rules set forth in applicable tax law. (See "Federal Income Tax Status.") Under certain circumstances, you may satisfy those requirements by electing an Annuity Option. You 42
N-447th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 47th
may choose any death benefit available under the contract, but certain other contract provisions and programs will not be available. Upon your death, if Annuity Payments have already begun, the death benefit would be required to be distributed to your Beneficiary at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the time of your death. VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS The Adjusted Contract Value (the Account Value, less any applicable premium taxes, account fee, and any prorated rider charge) is determined on the annuity calculation date, which is a Business Day no more than five (5) Business Days before the Annuity Date. The first variable Annuity Payment will be based upon the Adjusted Contract Value, the Annuity Option elected, the Annuitant's age, the Annuitant's sex (where permitted by law), and the appropriate variable Annuity Option table. Your annuity rates will not be less than those guaranteed in your contract at the time of purchase for the assumed investment return and Annuity Option elected. If, as of the annuity calculation date, the then current variable Annuity Option rates applicable to this class of contracts provide a first Annuity Payment greater than that which is guaranteed under the same Annuity Option under this contract, the greater payment will be made. The dollar amount of variable Annuity Payments after the first payment is determined as follows: o The dollar amount of the first variable Annuity Payment is divided by the value of an Annuity Unit for each applicable Investment Portfolio as of the annuity calculation date. This establishes the number of Annuity Units for each payment. The number of Annuity Units for each applicable Investment Portfolio remains fixed during the annuity period, provided that transfers among the subaccounts will be made by converting the number of Annuity Units being transferred to the number of Annuity Units of the subaccount to which the transfer is made, and the number of Annuity Units will be adjusted for transfers to a fixed Annuity Option. Please see the Statement of Additional Information for details about making transfers during the Annuity Phase. o The fixed number of Annuity Units per payment in each Investment Portfolio is multiplied by the Annuity Unit value for that Investment Portfolio for the Business Day for which the Annuity Payment is being calculated. This result is the dollar amount of the payment for each applicable Investment Portfolio, less any account fee. The account fee will be deducted pro rata out of each Annuity Payment. o The total dollar amount of each variable Annuity Payment is the sum of all Investment Portfolio variable Annuity Payments. ANNUITY UNIT. The initial Annuity Unit value for each Investment Portfolio of the Separate Account was set by us. The subsequent Annuity Unit value for each Investment Portfolio is determined by multiplying the Annuity Unit value for the immediately preceding Business Day by the net investment factor (see the Statement of Additional Information for a definition) for the Investment Portfolio for the current Business Day and multiplying the result by a factor for each day since the last Business Day which represents the daily equivalent of the AIR you elected. FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS The Adjusted Contract Value (defined above under "Variable Annuity Payments") on the day immediately preceding the Annuity Date will be used to determine a fixed Annuity Payment. The Annuity Payment will be based upon the Annuity Option elected, the Annuitant's age, the Annuitant's sex (where permitted by law), and the appropriate Annuity Option table. Your annuity rates will not be less than those guaranteed in your contract at the time of purchase. If, as of the annuity calculation date, the then current Annuity Option rates applicable to this class of contracts provide an Annuity Payment greater than that which is guaranteed under the same Annuity Option under this contract, the greater payment will be made. You may not make a transfer from the fixed Annuity Option to the variable Annuity Option. Current Annuity Option rates for this class of contract may be lower than rates for other contracts without a Purchase Payment Credit. 6. ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY You (or in the case of a death benefit, your Beneficiary) can have access to the money in your contract: (1) by making a withdrawal (either a partial or a complete withdrawal); 43
N-448th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 48th
(2) by electing to receive Annuity Payments; or (3) when a death benefit is paid to your Beneficiary. Under most circumstances, withdrawals can only be made during the Accumulation Phase. You may establish a withdrawal plan under which you can receive substantially equal periodic payments in order to comply with the requirements of Sections 72(q) or (t) of the Code. Premature modification or termination of such payments may result in substantial penalty taxes. (See "Federal Income Tax Status.") If you own an annuity contract with a Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB) rider and elect to receive distributions in accordance with substantially equal periodic payments exception, the commencement of income payments under the GMIB rider if your contract lapses and there remains any Income Base may be considered an impermissible modification of the payment stream under certain circumstances. When you make a complete withdrawal, you will receive the withdrawal value of the contract. The withdrawal value of the contract is the Account Value of the contract at the end of the Business Day when we receive a written request for a withdrawal: o less any applicable withdrawal charge; o less any premium or other tax; o less any account fee; and o less any applicable pro rata GMIB, GWB, GMAB or Enhanced Death Benefit rider charge. Unless you instruct us otherwise, any partial withdrawal will be made pro rata from the Fixed Account, the EDCA account and the Investment Portfolio(s) you selected. Under most circumstances the amount of any partial withdrawal must be for at least $500, or your entire interest in the Investment Portfolio, Fixed Account or EDCA account. We require that after a partial withdrawal is made you keep at least $2,000 in the contract. If the withdrawal would result in the Account Value being less than $2,000 after a partial withdrawal, we will treat the withdrawal request as a request for a full withdrawal. We will pay the amount of any withdrawal from the Separate Account within seven days of when we receive the request in Good Order unless the suspension of payments or transfers provision is in effect. We may withhold payment of withdrawal proceeds if any portion of those proceeds would be derived from a contract Owner's check that has not yet cleared (I.E., that could still be dishonored by the contract Owner's banking institution). We may use telephone, fax, Internet or other means of communication to verify that payment from the contract Owner's 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. Contract Owners 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. How to withdraw all or part of your Account Value: o You must submit a request to our Annuity Service Center. (See "Other Information - Requests and Elections.") o If you would like to have the withdrawal charge waived under the Nursing Home or Hospital Confinement Rider or the Terminal Illness Rider, you must provide satisfactory evidence of confinement to a nursing home or hospital or terminal illness. (See "Expenses - Reduction or Elimination of the Withdrawal Charge.") o You must state in your request whether you would like to apply the proceeds to a payment option (otherwise you will receive the proceeds in a lump sum and may be taxed on them). o We have to receive your withdrawal request in our Annuity Service Center prior to the Annuity Date or Owner's death. There are limits to the amount you can withdraw from certain qualified plans including Qualified and TSA plans. (See "Federal Income Tax Status.") INCOME TAXES, TAX PENALTIES AND CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS MAY APPLY TO ANY WITHDRAWAL YOU MAKE. DIVORCE. A withdrawal made pursuant to a divorce or separation instrument is subject to the same withdrawal charge provisions as described in "Expenses - Withdrawal Charge," if permissible under tax law. In addition, the withdrawal will reduce the Account Value, the death benefit, and the amount of any optional living or death benefit (including the benefit base we use to 44
N-449th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 49th
determine the guaranteed amount of the benefit). The amount withdrawn could exceed the maximum amount that can be withdrawn without causing a proportionate reduction in the benefit base used to calculate the guaranteed amount provided by an optional rider, as described in the "Living Benefits" and "Death Benefit" sections. The withdrawal could have a significant negative impact on the death benefit and on any optional rider benefit. SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM You may elect the Systematic Withdrawal Program at any time. We do not assess a charge for this program. This program provides an automatic payment to you of up to 10% of your total Purchase Payments each year. You can receive payments monthly or quarterly, provided that each payment must amount to at least $100 (unless we consent otherwise). We reserve the right to change the required minimum systematic withdrawal amount. If the New York Stock Exchange is closed on a day when the withdrawal is to be made, we will process the withdrawal on the next Business Day. While the Systematic Withdrawal Program is in effect you can make additional withdrawals. However, such withdrawals plus the systematic withdrawals will be considered when determining the applicability of any withdrawal charge. (For a discussion of the withdrawal charge, see "Expenses" above.) We will terminate your participation in the Systematic Withdrawal Program when we receive notification of your death. INCOME TAXES, TAX PENALTIES AND CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS MAY APPLY TO SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWALS. SUSPENSION OF PAYMENTS OR TRANSFERS We may be required to suspend or postpone payments for withdrawals or transfers for any period when: o the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings); o trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted; o an emergency exists, as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, as a result of which disposal of shares of the Investment Portfolios is not reasonably practicable or we cannot reasonably value the shares of the Investment Portfolios; or o during any other period when the Securities and Exchange Commission, by order, so permits for the protection of Owners. We have reserved the right to defer payment for a withdrawal or transfer from the Fixed Account for the period permitted by law, but not for more than six months. Federal laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering might, in certain circumstances, require us to block an Owner's ability to make certain transactions and thereby refuse to accept any requests for transfers, withdrawals, surrenders, or death benefits until instructions are received from the appropriate regulator. We may also be required to provide additional information about you and your contract to government regulators. 7. LIVING BENEFITS OVERVIEW OF LIVING BENEFIT RIDERS We offer a suite of optional living benefit riders that, for certain additional charges, offer protection against market risk (the risk that your investments may decline in value or underperform your expectations). Only one of these riders may be elected, and the rider must be elected at contract issue. These optional riders are described briefly below. Please see the more detailed description that follows for important information on the costs, restrictions and availability of each optional rider. We have offered three types of living benefit riders - guaranteed income benefits, guaranteed withdrawal benefits, and a guaranteed asset accumulation benefit: Guaranteed Income Benefits -------------------------- o Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit Plus (GMIB Plus I and GMIB Plus II) o Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB I and GMIB II) Our guaranteed income benefit riders are designed to allow you to invest your Account Value in the market while at the same time assuring a specified guaranteed level of minimum fixed Annuity Payments if you elect the Income Phase. The fixed Annuity Payment amount is guaranteed regardless of investment performance or the actual Account Value at the time you annuitize. Prior to exercising the rider and annuitizing your contract, you may make withdrawals 45
N-450th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 50th
up to a maximum level specified in the rider and still maintain the benefit amount. Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefits ------------------------------ o Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee (LWG I and LWG II) o Enhanced Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (Enhanced GWB) o Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit I (GWB I) The GWB riders are designed to guarantee that at least the entire amount of Purchase Payments you make will be returned to you through a series of withdrawals without annuitizing, regardless of investment performance, as long as withdrawals in any Contract Year do not exceed the maximum amount allowed under the rider. With the LWG riders, you get the same benefits, but in addition, if you make your first withdrawal on or after the date you reach age 59 1/2, you are guaranteed income for your life (and the life of your spouse, if the Joint Life version of the rider was elected, and your spouse elects to continue the contract and is at least age 59 1/2 at continuation), even after the entire amount of Purchase Payments has been returned. Guaranteed Asset Accumulation Benefit ------------------------------------- On and before May 1, 2009, we offered the Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit (GMAB). The GMAB is designed to guarantee that your Account Value will not be less than a minimum amount at the end of the 10-year waiting period. The amount of the guarantee depends on which of three permitted Investment Portfolios you selected at contract issue. GUARANTEED INCOME BENEFITS At the time you buy the contract, you may elect a guaranteed income benefit rider, called a Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB), for an additional charge. Each version of these riders is designed to guarantee a predictable, minimum level of fixed Annuity Payments, regardless of the investment performance of your Account Value during the Accumulation Phase. HOWEVER, IF APPLYING YOUR ACTUAL ACCOUNT VALUE AT THE TIME YOU ANNUITIZE THE CONTRACT TO THEN CURRENT ANNUITY PURCHASE RATES (OUTSIDE OF THE RIDER) PRODUCES HIGHER INCOME PAYMENTS, YOU WILL RECEIVE THE HIGHER PAYMENTS, AND THUS YOU WILL HAVE PAID FOR THE RIDER EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NOT USED. Also, prior to exercising the rider, you may make specified withdrawals that reduce your Income Base (as explained below) during the Accumulation Phase and still leave the rider guarantees intact, provided the conditions of the rider are met. Your registered representative can provide you an illustration of the amounts you would receive, with or without withdrawals, if you exercised the rider. There are four different versions of the GMIB under this contract: GMIB Plus II, GMIB Plus I, GMIB II, and GMIB I. There may be versions of each rider that vary by issue date and state availability. In addition, a version of a rider may become available (or unavailable) in different states at different times. Please check with your registered representative regarding which version(s) are available in your state. If you have already been issued a contract, please check your contract and riders for the specific provisions applicable to you. You may not have this benefit and a GWB or GMAB rider in effect at the same time. Once elected, the rider cannot be terminated except as discussed below. FACTS ABOUT GUARANTEED INCOME BENEFIT RIDERS INCOME BASE AND GMIB ANNUITY PAYMENTS. Under the GMIB, we calculate an "Income Base" (as described below) that determines, in part, the minimum amount you receive as an income payment upon exercising the GMIB rider and annuitizing the contract. IT IS IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT THIS INCOME BASE IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR CASH WITHDRAWALS AND DOES NOT ESTABLISH OR GUARANTEE YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE OR A MINIMUM RETURN FOR ANY INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO. After a minimum 10-year waiting period, and then only within 30 days following a contract anniversary, you may exercise the rider. We then will apply the Income Base calculated at the time of exercise to the conservative GMIB Annuity Table (as described below) specified in the rider in order to determine your minimum guaranteed lifetime fixed monthly Annuity Payments (your actual payment may be higher than this minimum if, as discussed above, the base contract under its terms would provide a higher payment). THE GMIB ANNUITY TABLE. The GMIB Annuity Table is specified in the rider. For GMIB Plus II in contracts issued on and after May 4, 2009, this table is calculated based on the Annuity 2000 Mortality Table with a 10-year age set back with interest of 1.5% per annum. For GMIB Plus II in contracts issued from February 24, 2009 through May 1, 2009, this table is calculated based on the Annuity 2000 46
N-451st Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 51st
Mortality Table with a 7-year age set back with interest of 1.5% per annum. For GMIB Plus II in contracts issued on or before February 23, 2009, and for GMIB Plus I, GMIB II and GMIB I, this table is calculated based on the Annuity 2000 Mortality Table with a 7-year age set back with interest of 2.5% per annum. As with other pay-out types, the amount you receive as an income payment also depends on the Annuity Option you select, your age, and (where permitted by state law) your sex. For GMIB Plus II, the annuity rates for attained ages 86 to 90 are the same as those for attained age 85. THE ANNUITY RATES IN THE GMIB ANNUITY TABLE ARE CONSERVATIVE AND A WITHDRAWAL CHARGE MAY BE APPLICABLE, SO THE AMOUNT OF GUARANTEED MINIMUM LIFETIME INCOME THAT THE GMIB PRODUCES MAY BE LESS THAN THE AMOUNT OF ANNUITY INCOME THAT WOULD BE PROVIDED BY APPLYING YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE ON YOUR ANNUITY DATE TO THEN-CURRENT ANNUITY PURCHASE RATES. If you exercise the GMIB rider, your Annuity Payments will be the greater of: o the Annuity Payment determined by applying the amount of the Income Base to the GMIB Annuity Table, or o the Annuity Payment determined for the same Annuity Option in accordance with the base contract. (See "Annuity Payments (The Income Phase).") If you choose not to receive Annuity Payments as guaranteed under the GMIB, you may elect any of the Annuity Options available under the contract. OWNERSHIP. If you, the Owner, are a natural person, you must also be the Annuitant. If a non-natural person owns the contract, then the Annuitant will be considered the Owner in determining the Income Base and GMIB Annuity Payments. If Joint Owners are named, the age of the older Joint Owner will be used to determine the Income Base and GMIB Annuity Payments. For the purposes of the Guaranteed Income Benefits section of the prospectus, "you" always means the Owner, older Joint Owner or the Annuitant, if the Owner is a non-natural person. TAXES. Withdrawals of taxable amounts will be subject to ordinary income tax and, if made prior to age 59 1/2, a 10% federal tax penalty may apply. GMIB AND DECEDENT CONTRACTS. If you are purchasing this contract with a nontaxable transfer of the death benefit proceeds of any annuity contract or IRA (or any other tax-qualified arrangement) of which you were the Beneficiary and you are "stretching" the distributions under the IRS required distribution rules, you may not purchase a GMIB rider. GMIB PLUS I, GMIB PLUS II, GMIB I, GMIB II AND QUALIFIED CONTRACTS. The GMIB Plus I, GMIB Plus II, GMIB I, and GMIB II riders may have limited usefulness in connection with a Qualified Contract, such as an IRA, in circumstances where, due to the ten-year waiting period after purchase (and for GMIB Plus I and GMIB Plus II, after an Optional Step-Up or Reset) the Owner is unable to exercise the rider until after the required beginning date of required minimum distributions under the contract. In such event, required minimum distributions received from the contract during the 10-year waiting period will have the effect of reducing the Income Base either on a proportionate or dollar-for-dollar basis, as the case may be. This may have the effect of reducing or eliminating the value of Annuity Payments under the rider. You should consult your tax adviser prior to electing one of these riders. (See Appendix D for examples of the GMIB.) DESCRIPTION OF GMIB PLUS II In states where approved, the GMIB Plus II rider is available only for Owners up through age 78, and you can only elect the GMIB Plus II at the time you purchase the contract. THE GMIB PLUS II MAY BE EXERCISED AFTER A 10-YEAR WAITING PERIOD AND THEN ONLY WITHIN 30 DAYS FOLLOWING A CONTRACT ANNIVERSARY, PROVIDED THAT THE EXERCISE MUST OCCUR NO LATER THAN THE 30-DAY PERIOD FOLLOWING THE CONTRACT ANNIVERSARY PRIOR TO THE OWNER'S 91ST BIRTHDAY. INCOME BASE. The INCOME BASE is the greater of (a) or (b) below. (a) Highest Anniversary Value: On the issue date, the "Highest Anniversary Value" is equal to your initial Purchase Payment. Thereafter, the Highest Anniversary Value will be increased by subsequent Purchase Payments and reduced proportionately by the percentage reduction in Account Value attributable to each subsequent withdrawal (including any applicable withdrawal charge). On each contract anniversary prior to the Owner's 81st birthday, the Highest Anniversary Value will be recalculated and set equal to 47
N-452nd Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 52nd
the greater of the Highest Anniversary Value before the recalculation or the Account Value on the date of the recalculation. The Highest Anniversary Value does not change after the contract anniversary immediately preceding the Owner's 81st birthday, except that it is increased for each subsequent Purchase Payment and reduced proportionally by the percentage reduction in Account Value attributable to each subsequent withdrawal (including any applicable withdrawal charge). (b) Annual Increase Amount: On the issue date, the "Annual Increase Amount" is equal to your initial Purchase Payment. (For these purposes, all Purchase Payments credited within 120 days of the date we issued the contract will be treated as if they were received on the date we issue the contract.) Thereafter, the Annual Increase Amount is equal to (i) less (ii), where: (i) is Purchase Payments accumulated at the annual increase rate from the date the Purchase Payment is made. The annual increase rate is 5% per year through the contract anniversary prior to the Owner's 91st birthday and 0% thereafter; and (ii) is withdrawal adjustments accumulated at the annual increase rate. Withdrawal adjustments in a Contract Year are determined according to (1) or (2) as defined below: (1) The withdrawal adjustment for each withdrawal in a Contract Year is the value of the Annual Increase Amount immediately prior to the withdrawal multiplied by the percentage reduction in Account Value attributed to that withdrawal (including any applicable withdrawal charge); or (2) If total withdrawals in a Contract Year are 5% or less of the Annual Increase Amount on the issue date or on the prior contract anniversary after the first Contract Year, and if these withdrawals are paid to you (or the Annuitant if the contract is owned by a non-natural person) or to another payee we agree to, the total withdrawal adjustments for that Contract Year will be set equal to the dollar amount of total withdrawals (including any applicable withdrawal charge) in that Contract Year. These withdrawal adjustments will replace the withdrawal adjustments defined in (1) above and be treated as though the corresponding withdrawals occurred at the end of that Contract Year. (See section (1) of Appendix D for examples of the calculation of the withdrawal adjustment.) In determining the GMIB Plus II annuity income, an amount equal to the withdrawal charge that would be assessed upon a complete withdrawal and the amount of any premium and other taxes that may apply will be deducted from the Income Base. For purposes of calculating the Income Base, Purchase Payment Credits are not included. OPTIONAL STEP-UP. On each contract anniversary as permitted, you may elect to reset the Annual Increase Amount to the Account Value. An Optional Step-Up may be beneficial if your Account Value has grown at a rate above the 5% accumulation rate on the Annual Increase Amount. As described below, an Optional Step-Up resets the Annual Increase Amount to the Account Value. After an Optional Step-Up, the annual increase rate will be applied to the new, higher Annual Increase Amount and therefore the amount that may be withdrawn without reducing the Annual Increase Amount on a proportionate basis will increase. HOWEVER, IF YOU ELECT TO RESET THE ANNUAL INCREASE AMOUNT, WE WILL RESTART THE 10-YEAR WAITING PERIOD. IN ADDITION, WE MAY RESET THE GMIB PLUS II RIDER CHARGE TO A RATE THAT DOES NOT EXCEED THE LOWER OF: (A) THE MAXIMUM OPTIONAL STEP-UP CHARGE (1.50%) OR (B) THE CURRENT RATE THAT WE WOULD CHARGE FOR THE SAME RIDER AVAILABLE FOR NEW CONTRACT PURCHASES AT THE TIME OF THE OPTIONAL STEP-UP. An Optional Step-Up is permitted only if: (1) the Account Value exceeds the Annual Increase Amount immediately before the reset; and (2) the Owner (or older Joint Owner, or Annuitant if the contract is owned by a non-natural person) is not older than age 80 on the date of the Optional Step-Up. If your contract has both the GMIB Plus II rider and the Enhanced Death Benefit I rider, and you would like to elect an Optional Step-Up, you must elect an Optional Step-Up for both riders. You may not elect an Optional Step-Up for only one of the two riders. Upon the Optional Step-Up, we may reset the rider charge, as described above, on one or both riders. You may elect either: (1) a one-time Optional Step-Up at any contract anniversary provided the above requirements are met, or (2) Optional Step-Ups to occur under the 48
N-453rd Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 53rd
Automatic Annual Step-Up. If you elect Automatic Annual Step-Ups, on any contract anniversary while this election is in effect, the Annual Increase Amount will reset to the Account Value automatically, provided the above requirements are met. The same conditions described above will apply to each Automatic Step-Up. You may discontinue this election at any time by notifying us in writing, at our Annuity Service Center (or by any other method acceptable to us), at least 30 days prior to the contract anniversary on which a reset may otherwise occur. Otherwise, it will remain in effect through the seventh contract anniversary following the date you make this election, at which point you must make a new election if you want Automatic Annual Step-Ups to continue. If you discontinue or do not re-elect the Automatic Annual Step-Ups, no Optional Step-Up will occur automatically on any subsequent contract anniversary unless you make a new election under the terms described above. (If you discontinue Automatic Annual Step-Ups, the GMIB Plus II rider (and the rider charge) will continue, and you may choose to elect a one time Optional Step-Up or reinstate Automatic Annual Step-Ups as described above.) We must receive your request to exercise the Optional Step-Up in writing, at our Annuity Service Center, or any other method acceptable to us. We must receive your request prior to the contract anniversary for an Optional Step-Up to occur on that contract anniversary. The Optional Step-Up: (1) resets the Annual Increase Amount to the Account Value on the contract anniversary following the receipt of an Optional Step-Up election; (2) resets the GMIB Plus II waiting period to the tenth contract anniversary following the date the Optional Step-Up took effect; and (3) may reset the GMIB Plus II rider charge to a rate that does not exceed the lower of: (a) the Maximum Optional Step-Up Charge (1.50%) or (b) the current rate that we would charge for the same rider available for new contract purchases at the time of the Optional Step-Up. In the event that the charge applicable to contract purchases at the time of the step-up is higher than your current rider charge, you will be notified in writing a minimum of 30 days in advance of the applicable contract anniversary and be informed that you may choose to decline the Automatic Annual Step-Up. If you decline the Automatic Annual Step-Up, you must notify us in accordance with our Administrative Procedures (currently we require you to submit your request in writing to our Annuity Service Center no less than seven calendar days prior to the applicable contract anniversary). Once you notify us of your decision to decline the Automatic Annual Step-Up, you will no longer be eligible for future Automatic Annual Step-Ups until you notify us in writing to our Annuity Service Center that you wish to reinstate the Automatic Annual Step-Ups. This reinstatement will take effect at the next contract anniversary after we receive your request for reinstatement. On the date of the Optional Step-Up, the Account Value on that day will be treated as a single Purchase Payment received on the date of the step-up for purposes of determining the Annual Increase Amount after the reset. All Purchase Payments and withdrawal adjustments previously used to calculate the Annual Increase Amount will be set equal to zero on the date of the step-up. INVESTMENT ALLOCATION RESTRICTIONS. If you elect the GMIB Plus II, there are certain investment allocation restrictions. (See "Purchase - Investment Allocation and Other Purchase Payment Restrictions for GMIB Plus II, Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II, and EDB I.") If you elect the GMIB Plus II, you may not participate in the Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) program. However, you may elect to participate in the Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging (EDCA) program, provided that your destination Investment Portfolios are selected in accordance with the investment allocation restrictions. CURRENT RESTRICTIONS ON SUBSEQUENT PURCHASE PAYMENTS. Subsequent Purchase Payments under the GMIB Plus II rider are restricted as described in "Purchase - Restrictions on Subsequent Purchase Payments - GMIB Plus II, Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II, and EDB I." GUARANTEED PRINCIPAL OPTION. On each contract anniversary starting with the tenth contract anniversary and through the contract anniversary prior to the Owner's 91st birthday, you may exercise the Guaranteed Principal Option. If the Owner is a non-natural person, the Annuitant's age is the basis for determining the birthday. If there are Joint Owners, the age of the older Owner is used for determining the birthday. We must receive your request to exercise the Guaranteed Principal Option in writing, or any other method that we agree to, within 30 days 49
N-454th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 54th
following the applicable contract anniversary. The Guaranteed Principal Option will take effect at the end of this 30-day period following that contract anniversary. By exercising the Guaranteed Principal Option, you elect to receive an additional amount to be added to your Account Value intended to restore your initial investment in the contract, in lieu of receiving GMIB payments. The additional amount is called the Guaranteed Principal Adjustment and is equal to (a) minus (b) where: (a) is Purchase Payments credited within 120 days of the date we issued the contract (reduced proportionately by the percentage reduction in Account Value attributable to each partial withdrawal (including applicable withdrawal charges) prior to the exercise of the Guaranteed Principal Option) and (b) the Account Value on the contract anniversary immediately preceding exercise of the Guaranteed Principal Option. For purposes of calculating the Guaranteed Principal Adjustment, Purchase Payment Credits are not included. The Guaranteed Principal Option can only be exercised if (a) exceeds (b), as defined above. The Guaranteed Principal Adjustment will be added to each applicable Investment Portfolio in the ratio the portion of the Account Value in such Investment Portfolio bears to the total Account Value in all Investment Portfolios. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT ONLY PURCHASE PAYMENTS MADE DURING THE FIRST 120 DAYS THAT YOU HOLD THE CONTRACT ARE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION IN DETERMINING THE GUARANTEED PRINCIPAL ADJUSTMENT. IF YOU ANTICIPATE MAKING PURCHASE PAYMENTS AFTER 120 DAYS, YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT SUCH PAYMENTS WILL NOT INCREASE THE GUARANTEED PRINCIPAL ADJUSTMENT. However, because Purchase Payments made after 120 days will increase your Account Value, such payments may have a significant impact on whether or not a Guaranteed Principal Adjustment is due. Therefore, GMIB Plus II may not be appropriate for you if you intend to make additional Purchase Payments after the 120-day period and are purchasing the GMIB Plus II for this feature. The Guaranteed Principal Adjustment will never be less than zero. IF THE GUARANTEED PRINCIPAL OPTION IS EXERCISED, THE GMIB PLUS II RIDER WILL TERMINATE AS OF THE DATE THE OPTION TAKES EFFECT AND NO ADDITIONAL GMIB CHARGES WILL APPLY THEREAFTER. The variable annuity contract, however, will continue. If you only elected the GMIB Plus II, the investment allocation restrictions described above will no longer apply. If you elected both the GMIB Plus II and the Enhanced Death Benefit I, the Enhanced Death Benefit I investment allocation restrictions described in "Purchase - Investment Allocation and Other Purchase Payment Restrictions for GMIB Plus II, Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II, and EDB I" will continue to apply as long as the Enhanced Death Benefit I rider has not terminated. The Guaranteed Principal Option is not available in the state of Washington. EXERCISING THE GMIB PLUS II RIDER. If you exercise the GMIB Plus II, you must elect to receive Annuity Payments under one of the following fixed Annuity Options: (1) Life annuity with 5 years of Annuity Payments guaranteed. (2) Joint and last survivor annuity with 5 years of Annuity Payments guaranteed. Based on federal tax rules, this option is not available for Qualified Contracts where the difference in ages of the joint Annuitants, who are not spouses, is greater than 10 years. (See "Annuity Payments (The Income Phase).") These options are described in the contract and the GMIB Plus II rider. The GMIB Annuity Table is specified in the rider. This table is calculated based on the Annuity 2000 Mortality Table with a 10-year age set back with interest of 1.5% per annum for GMIB Plus II. As with other payout types, the amount you receive as an income payment also depends on the Annuity Option you select, your age, and (where permitted by law) your sex. For GMIB Plus II, the annuity rates for attained ages 86 to 90 are the same as those for attained age 85. THE ANNUITY RATES IN THE GMIB ANNUITY TABLE ARE CONSERVATIVE AND A WITHDRAWAL CHARGE MAY BE APPLICABLE, SO THE AMOUNT OF GUARANTEED MINIMUM LIFETIME INCOME THAT THE GMIB PRODUCES MAY BE LESS THAN THE AMOUNT OF ANNUITY INCOME THAT WOULD BE PROVIDED BY APPLYING YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE ON YOUR ANNUITY DATE TO THEN-CURRENT ANNUITY PURCHASE RATES. If you exercise the GMIB Plus II, your Annuity Payments will be the greater of: 50
N-455th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 55th
o the Annuity Payment determined by applying the amount of the Income Base to the GMIB Annuity Table, or o the Annuity Payment determined for the same Annuity Option in accordance with the base contract. (See "Annuity Payments (The Income Phase).") IF THE AMOUNT OF THE GUARANTEED MINIMUM LIFETIME INCOME THAT THE GMIB PLUS II PRODUCES IS LESS THAN THE AMOUNT OF ANNUITY INCOME THAT WOULD BE PROVIDED BY APPLYING YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE ON THE ANNUITY DATE TO THE THEN-CURRENT ANNUITY PURCHASE RATES, THEN YOU WOULD HAVE PAID FOR A BENEFIT THAT YOU DID NOT USE. If you take a full withdrawal of your Account Value, your contract is terminated by us due to its small Account Value and inactivity (see "Purchase - Termination for Low Account Value"), or your contract lapses and there remains any Income Base, we will commence making income payments within 30 days of the date of the full withdrawal, termination or lapse. In such cases, your income payments under this benefit, if any, will be determined using the Income Base and any applicable withdrawal adjustment that was taken on account of the withdrawal, termination or lapse. ENHANCED PAYOUT RATES. The GMIB payout rates are enhanced under the following circumstances. If: o you take no withdrawals prior to age 62; o your Account Value is fully withdrawn or decreases to zero at or after your 62nd birthday and there is an Income Base remaining; and o the Annuity Option you select is the single life annuity with 5 years of Annuity Payments guaranteed; then the annual Annuity Payments under the GMIB Plus II rider will equal or exceed 5.5% of the Income Base (calculated on the date the payments are determined). Alternatively, if: o you take no withdrawals prior to age 60; o your Account Value is fully withdrawn or decreases to zero at or after your 60th birthday and there is an Income Base remaining; and o the Annuity Option you select is the single life annuity with 5 years of Annuity Payments guaranteed; then the annual Annuity Payments under the GMIB Plus II rider will equal or exceed 5% of the Income Base (calculated on the date the payments are determined). If an Owner dies and the Owner's spouse (age 89 or younger) is the Beneficiary of the contract, the spouse may elect to continue the contract and the GMIB Plus II rider. If the spouse elects to continue the contract and the Owner had begun to take withdrawals prior to his or her death, and the Owner was older than the spouse, the spouse's eligibility for the enhanced payout rates described above is based on the Owner's age when the withdrawals began. For example, if an Owner had begun to take withdrawals at age 60 and subsequently died, if that Owner's spouse continued the contract and the GMIB Plus II rider, the spouse would be eligible for the 5% enhanced payout rate described above, even if the spouse were younger than age 60 at the time the contract was continued. If the spouse elects to continue the contract and the Owner had not taken any withdrawals prior to his or her death, the spouse's eligibility for the enhanced payout rates described above is based on the spouse's age when the spouse begins to take withdrawals. If you choose not to receive Annuity Payments as guaranteed under the GMIB Plus II, you may elect any of the Annuity Options available under the contract. TERMINATING THE GMIB PLUS II RIDER. Except as otherwise provided in the GMIB Plus II rider, the GMIB Plus II will terminate upon the earliest of: a) The 30th day following the contract anniversary prior to your 91st birthday; b) The date you make a complete withdrawal of your Account Value (if there is an Income Base remaining you will receive payments based on the remaining Income Base) (a pro rata portion of the rider charge will be assessed); c) The date you elect to receive Annuity Payments under the contract and you do not elect to receive payments under the GMIB (a pro rata portion of the rider charge will be assessed); d) Death of the Owner or Joint Owner (unless the spouse (age 89 or younger) is the Beneficiary and elects to continue the contract), or death of the Annuitant if a non-natural person owns the contract; 51
N-456th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 56th
e) A change for any reason of the Owner or Joint Owner or the Annuitant, if a non-natural person owns the contract, subject to our administrative procedures (a pro rata portion of the rider charge will be assessed); f) The effective date of the Guaranteed Principal Option; or g) The date you assign your contract (a pro rata portion of the rider charge will be assessed). If an Owner or Joint Owner dies and: o the spouse elects to continue the contract and the GMIB rider under termination provision d) above; and o before the 10-year waiting period to exercise the GMIB rider has elapsed, the GMIB rider will terminate under termination provision a) above (because it is the 30th day following the contract anniversary prior to the spouse's 91st birthday); we will permit the spouse to exercise the GMIB rider within the 30 days following the contract anniversary prior to his or her 91st birthday, even though the 10-year waiting period has not elapsed. Under our current administrative procedures, we will waive the termination of the GMIB Plus II rider if you assign a portion of the contract under the following limited circumstances: if the assignment is solely for your benefit on account of your direct transfer of Account Value under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code to fund premiums for a long term care insurance policy or Purchase Payments for an annuity contract issued by an insurance company which is not our affiliate and which is licensed to conduct business in any state. All such direct transfers are subject to any applicable withdrawal charges. When the GMIB Plus II rider terminates, the corresponding GMIB Plus II rider charge terminates and the GMIB Plus II investment allocation restrictions no longer apply. For contracts issued with the GMIB Plus II rider from February 24, 2009 through ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- May 1, 2009, the following differences apply: ----------- (1) The annual increase rate is 6% through the contract anniversary immediately prior to your 91st birthday, and 0% per year thereafter. (2) If total withdrawals in a Contract Year are 6% or less of the Annual Increase Amount on the issue date or on the prior contract anniversary after the first Contract Year, and if these withdrawals are paid to you (or the Annuitant if the contract is owned by a non-natural person) or to another payee we agree to, the total withdrawal adjustments for that Contract Year will be set equal to the dollar amount of total withdrawals (including any applicable withdrawal charge) in that Contract Year. (3) The fixed Annuity Options are the single life annuity with 10 years of Annuity Payments guaranteed (if you choose to start the Annuity Option after age 79, the year of the Guarantee Period component of the Annuity Option is reduced to: 9 years at age 80, 8 years at age 81, 7 years at age 82, 6 years at age 83, or 5 years at ages 84 through 90) or the joint and last survivor annuity with 10 years of Annuity Payments guaranteed (not available for Qualified Contracts where the difference in ages of the joint Annuitants is greater than 10 years; this limitation only applies to joint Annuitants who are not spouses). (4) Different investment allocation restrictions apply. (See "Purchase - Investment Allocation Restrictions for Certain Riders.") (5) If your Income Base is increased due to an Optional Step-Up on a contract anniversary occurring on July 1, 2012 or later, we currently will increase the rider charge to 1.20% of the Income Base, applicable after the contract anniversary on which the Optional Step-Up occurs. (6) The GMIB Annuity Table is calculated based on the Annuity 2000 Mortality Table with a 7-year age set back with interest of 1.5% per annum. (7) The GMIB payout rates are enhanced to be at least (a) 6% of the Income Base (calculated on the date the payments are determined) in the event: (i) you take no withdrawals prior to age 62; (ii) your Account Value is fully withdrawn or decreases to zero on or after your 62nd birthday and there is an Income Base remaining; and (iii) the Annuity Option you select is the single life annuity with 10 years of Annuity Payments guaranteed, or (b) 5% of the Income Base (calculated 52
N-457th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 57th
on the date the payments are determined) if: (i) you take no withdrawals prior to age 60; (ii) your Account Value is fully withdrawn or decreases to zero on or after your 60th birthday and there is an Income Base remaining; and (iii) the Annuity Option you select is the single life annuity with 10 years of Annuity Payments guaranteed. For contracts issued with the GMIB Plus II rider on or before February 23, -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2009, differences (1) through (5) above apply, and the following replaces ---- differences (6) and (7): (6) The GMIB Annuity Table is calculated based on the Annuity 2000 Mortality Table with a 7-year age set back with interest of 2.5% per annum. (7) The GMIB payout rates are enhanced to be at least 6% of the Income Base (calculated on the date the payments are determined) in the event: (i) you take no withdrawals prior to age 60; (ii) your Account Value is fully withdrawn or decreases to zero on or after your 60th birthday and there is an Income Base remaining; and (iii) the Annuity Option you select is the single life annuity with 10 years of Annuity Payments guaranteed. (See Appendix D for examples illustrating the operation of the GMIB Plus II.) DESCRIPTION OF GMIB PLUS I In states where approved, the GMIB Plus I is available only for Owners up through age 75, and you can only elect GMIB Plus I at the time you purchase the contract. GMIB Plus I may be exercised after a 10-year waiting period and then only within 30 days following a contract anniversary, provided that the exercise must occur no later than the 30-day period following the contract anniversary on or following the Owner's 85th birthday. GMIB Plus I is otherwise identical to GMIB Plus II, with the following exceptions: (1) The GMIB Plus I Income Base is calculated as described above, except that the annual increase rate is 6% per year through the contract anniversary on or following the Owner's 85th birthday and 0% thereafter. (2) An "Optional Step-Up" under the GMIB Plus II rider is referred to as an "Optional Reset" under the GMIB Plus I rider. An Optional Reset is permitted only if: (a) the Account Value exceeds the Annual Increase Amount immediately before the reset; and (b) the Owner (or older Joint Owner, or Annuitant if the contract is owned by a non-natural person) is not older than age 75 on the date of the Optional Reset. (3) If your Income Base is increased due to an Optional Reset on a contract anniversary occurring on July 1, 2012 or later, we currently will increase the rider charge to 1.20% of the Income Base, applicable after the contract anniversary on which the Optional Reset occurs. (4) The Guaranteed Principal Option may be exercised on each contract anniversary starting with the tenth contract anniversary and through the contract anniversary prior to the Owner's 86th birthday. (5) We reserve the right to prohibit an Optional Reset if we no longer offer this benefit for this class of contract. We are waiving this right with respect to purchasers of the contract offered by this prospectus who elect or have elected the GMIB Plus I rider and will allow Optional Resets by those purchasers even if this benefit is no longer offered for this class of contract. (6) The fixed Annuity Options are the single life annuity with 10 years of Annuity Payments guaranteed (if you choose to start the Annuity Option after age 79, the year of the Guarantee Period component of the Annuity Option is reduced to: 9 years at age 80, 8 years at age 81, 7 years at age 82, 6 years at age 83, or 5 years at ages 84 and 85) or the joint and last survivor annuity with 10 years of Annuity Payments guaranteed (not available for Qualified Contracts where the difference in ages of the joint Annuitants is greater than 10 years; this limitation only applies to joint Annuitants who are not spouses). (7) Termination provision g) above does not apply, and the following replaces termination provision a), above: The 30th day following the contract anniversary on or following your 85th birthday. and the following replaces termination provision d), above: Death of the Owner or Joint Owner (unless the spouse (age 84 or younger) is the Beneficiary and elects to continue the contract), or death of the Annuitant if a non-natural person owns the contract. If an Owner or Joint Owner dies and: 53
N-458th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 58th
o the spouse elects to continue the contract and the GMIB rider under termination provision d) above; and o before the 10-year waiting period to exercise the GMIB rider has elapsed, the GMIB rider will terminate under termination provision a) above (because it is the 30th day following the contract anniversary on or following the spouse's 85th birthday); we will permit the spouse to exercise the GMIB rider within the 30 days following the contract anniversary on or following his or her 85th birthday, even though the 10-year waiting period has not elapsed. (8) The GMIB Annuity Table is calculated based on the Annuity 2000 Mortality Table with a 7-year age set back with interest of 2.5% per annum. (9) If approved in your state, the GMIB payout rates are enhanced to be at least 6% of the Income Base (calculated on the date the payments are determined) in the event: (i) you take no withdrawals prior to age 60; (ii) your Account Value is fully withdrawn or decreases to zero on or after your 60th birthday and there is an Income Base remaining; and (iii) the Annuity Option you select is the single life annuity with 10 years of Annuity Payments guaranteed. (10) If you elect the GMIB Plus I, you are limited to allocating your Purchase Payments and Account Value among the Fixed Account and the following Investment Portfolios: (a) the AllianceBernstein Global Dynamic Allocation Portfolio (b) the Allianz Global Investors Dynamic Multi-Asset Plus Portfolio (c) the American Funds (Reg. TM) Balanced Allocation Portfolio (d) the American Funds (Reg. TM) Growth Allocation Portfolio (e) the American Funds (Reg.

TM) Government Income Portfolio (t) the Pyramis (Reg. TM) Managed Risk Portfolio (u) the Schroders Global Multi-Asset Portfolio (v) the SSgA Growth and Income ETF Portfolio (w) the SSgA Growth ETF Portfolio If you elect the GMIB Plus I, you may not participate in the Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) program. However, you may elect to participate in the Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging (EDCA) program, provided that your destination Investment Portfolios are one or more of the above-listed Investment Portfolios. CURRENT RESTRICTIONS ON SUBSEQUENT PURCHASE PAYMENTS. Subsequent Purchase Payments under the GMIB Plus I rider are restricted as described in "Purchase - Restrictions on Subsequent Purchase Payments for GMIB I, GMIB Plus I, GWB I, Enhanced GWB, Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I, and GMAB." For contracts issued before July 16, 2007, the enhanced GMIB payout rates ----------------------------------------- described in item (9) above will not be applied. For contracts issued before February 26, 2007, we offered a version of the GMIB --------------------------------------------- Plus I that is no longer available. Under this prior version, when we calculate the Annual Increase Amount: (1) the annual increase rate is 5% per year through the contract anniversary on or following the Owner's 85th birthday; and (2) the amount of total withdrawal adjustments for a Contract Year will be set equal to the dollar amount of total withdrawals in such Contract Year, provided that such total withdrawals do not exceed 5% of the Annual Increase Amount on the issue date or on the prior contract anniversary after the first Contract Year. The rider charge for this prior version of the GMIB Plus I is 0.75% of the Income Base. If your Income Base is increased due to an Optional Reset on a contract anniversary occurring on July 1, 2012 or later, we currently will increase the rider charge to 1.00% of the Income Base, 54
N-459th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 59th
applicable after the contract anniversary on which the Optional Reset occurs. For contracts issued before February 27, 2006, you may elect an Optional Reset --------------------------------------------- under the GMIB Plus I as described above, except that: 1) you may elect an Optional Reset on any contract anniversary only on or after the third contract anniversary, and you may then elect an Optional Reset at any subsequent contract anniversary only if it has been at least three years since the last Optional Reset; and 2) you are required to affirmatively elect an Optional Reset in accordance with the procedures described above; the Automatic Annual Step-Up feature is not available. By endorsement, we have enhanced your contract to change the frequency of the Optional Resets from every third contract anniversary to every contract anniversary. You will also be able to elect Automatic Annual Step-Ups, as described above. The rider charge for this prior version of the GMIB Plus I is 0.75% of the Income Base. If your Income Base is increased due to an Optional Reset on a contract anniversary occurring on July 1, 2012 or later, we currently will increase the rider charge to 1.00% of the Income Base, applicable after the contract anniversary on which the Optional Reset occurs. DESCRIPTION OF GMIB II In states where approved, GMIB II was available only for Owners up through age 75, and you could only elect GMIB II at the time you purchased the contract. GMIB II may be exercised after a 10-year waiting period and then only within 30 days following a contract anniversary, provided that the exercise must occur no later than the 30-day period following the contract anniversary on or following the Owner's 85th birthday. GMIB II is otherwise identical to the GMIB Plus II, with the following exceptions: (1) The rider charge for GMIB II is lower (see "Expenses-Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit-Rider Charge"). (2) The GMIB II Income Base is calculated as described above, except that, for purposes of calculating the Annual Increase Amount: a. the annual increase rate is 5% per year through the contract anniversary on or following the Owner's 85th birthday and 0% thereafter, and b. the amount of total withdrawal adjustments for a Contract Year will be set equal to the dollar amount of total withdrawals (including any applicable withdrawal charge) in such Contract Year provided that such total withdrawals do not exceed 5% of the Annual Increase Amount on the issue date or on the prior contract anniversary after the first Contract Year. (3) There is no Guaranteed Principal Option. (4) There is no Optional Step-Up feature. (5) The fixed Annuity Options are the single life annuity with 10 years of Annuity Payments guaranteed (if you choose to start the Annuity Option after age 79, the year of the Guarantee Period component of the Annuity Option is reduced to: 9 years at age 80, 8 years at age 81, 7 years at age 82, 6 years at age 83, or 5 years at ages 84 and 85) or the joint and last survivor annuity with 10 years of Annuity Payments guaranteed (not available for Qualified Contracts where the difference in ages of the joint Annuitants is greater than 10 years; this limitation only applies to joint Annuitants who are not spouses). (6) The GMIB Annuity Table is the Annuity 2000 Mortality Table with a 7-year age set back with interest of 2.5% per annum and GMIB payout rates are not enhanced. (7) The following replaces termination provision a), above: The 30th day following the contract anniversary on or following your 85th birthday. (8) The following replaces termination provision d), above: Death of the Owner or Joint Owner (unless the spouse (age 84 or younger) is the Beneficiary and elects to continue the contract), or death of the Annuitant if a non-natural person owns the contract. (9) If an Owner or Joint Owner dies and: o the spouse elects to continue the contract and the GMIB rider under termination provision d) above; and o before the 10-year waiting period to exercise the GMIB rider has elapsed, the GMIB rider will terminate under termination provision a) above (because it is the 30th day following the contract anniversary on or following the spouse's 85th birthday); we will permit the spouse to exercise the GMIB rider within the 30 days following the contract anniversary 55
N-460th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 60th
on or following his or her 85th birthday, even though the 10-year waiting period has not elapsed. (10) The following replaces termination provision e), above: A change for any reason of the Owner or Joint Owner or the Annuitant, if a non-natural person owns the contract. Currently we follow our administrative procedures regarding termination for a change of Owner or Joint Owner or Annuitant, if a non-natural person owns the contract. (11) Termination provisions f) and g), above, do not apply. (12) There are no limitations to how you may allocate your Purchase Payments and Account Value among the Investment Portfolios, and you may participate in the Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) program. (13) Subsequent Purchase Payments are not currently restricted under the GMIB II rider. (See Appendix D for examples illustrating the operation of GMIB II.) DESCRIPTION OF GMIB I In states where approved, you could only elect the GMIB I rider at the time you purchased the contract and if you were age 75 or less. Once elected, the rider cannot be terminated except as described below. GMIB I may be exercised after a 10-year waiting period, up through age 85, within 30 days following a contract anniversary. GMIB I is identical to GMIB II, with the following exceptions: (1) The GMIB I Income Base is calculated as described above for GMIB Plus II, except that: a) Withdrawals may be payable as you direct without affecting the withdrawal adjustments; b) The annual increase rate is 6% per year through the contract anniversary immediately prior to the Owner's 81st birthday and 0% thereafter; and c) If total withdrawals in a Contract Year are 6% or less of the Annual Increase Amount on the issue date or previous contract anniversary, if later, the total withdrawal adjustments for that Contract Year will be set equal to the dollar amount of total withdrawals in that Contract Year. (2) The following replaces termination provision d), above: Death of the Owner or death of the Annuitant if a non-natural person owns the contract. (3) If you take a full withdrawal of your Account Value, your contract is terminated by us due to its small Account Value and inactivity (see "Purchase - Termination for Low Account Value"), or your contract lapses, the GMIB I rider terminates (even if there remains any Income Base) and no payments will be made under the rider. CURRENT RESTRICTIONS ON SUBSEQUENT PURCHASE PAYMENTS. Subsequent Purchase Payments under the GMIB I rider are restricted as described in "Purchase - Restrictions on Subsequent Purchase Payments for GMIB I, GMIB Plus I, GWB I, Enhanced GWB, Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I, and GMAB." We currently waive the contractual requirement that terminates the GMIB I rider in the event of the death of the Owner in circumstances where the spouse of the Owner elects to continue the contract. (See "Death Benefit - General Death Benefit Provisions.") In such event, the GMIB I rider will automatically continue unless the spouse elects to terminate the rider. We are permanently waiving this requirement with respect to purchasers of the contract offered by this prospectus who have elected GMIB I. GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL BENEFITS We offer optional guaranteed withdrawal benefit riders for an additional charge. There are four different versions of the GWB under this contract: Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II (LWG II), Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I (LWG I), Enhanced Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (Enhanced GWB), and Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit I (GWB I). There may be versions of each rider that vary by issue date and state availability. In addition, a version of a rider may become available (or unavailable) in different states at different times. Please check with your registered representative regarding which version(s) are available in your state. If you have already been issued a contract, please check your contract and riders for the specific provisions applicable to you. Each of the guaranteed withdrawal benefit riders guarantees that the entire amount of Purchase Payments you make will be returned to you through a series of withdrawals that you may begin taking immediately or at a later time, provided withdrawals in any Contract Year do not exceed the maximum amount allowed. This means that, regardless of negative investment performance, you can take specified annual withdrawals until the entire 56
N-461st Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 61st
amount of the Purchase Payments you made during the time period specified in your rider has been returned to you. Moreover, if you make your first withdrawal on or after the date you reach age 59 1/2, the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee riders guarantee income for your life (and the life of your spouse, if the Joint Life version of the rider was elected, and your spouse elects to continue the contract and is at least age 59 1/2 at continuation), even after the entire amount of Purchase Payments has been returned. (See "Description of the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II" below.) If you purchase a guaranteed withdrawal benefit rider, you must elect one version at the time you purchase the contract, prior to age 81. You may not have this benefit and another living benefit (GMIB or GMAB) or the Enhanced Death Benefit I rider in effect at the same time. Once elected, these riders may not be terminated except as stated below. FACTS ABOUT GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT RIDERS MANAGING WITHDRAWALS. The rider guarantees may be reduced if your annual withdrawals are greater than the maximum amount allowed, called the Annual Benefit Payment, which is described in more detail below. The GWB does not establish or guarantee an Account Value or minimum return for any Investment Portfolio. THE BENEFIT BASE (AS DESCRIBED BELOW) UNDER THE ENHANCED GWB AND GWB I, AND THE REMAINING GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT (AS DESCRIBED BELOW) UNDER THE LIFETIME WITHDRAWAL GUARANTEE, CANNOT BE TAKEN AS A LUMP SUM. (However, if you cancel the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee riders after a waiting period of at least fifteen years, the Guaranteed Principal Adjustment will increase your Account Value to the Purchase Payments credited within the first 120 days of the date that we issue the contract, reduced proportionately for any withdrawals. See "Description of the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II- Cancellation and Guaranteed Principal Adjustment" below.) Income taxes and penalties may apply to your withdrawals, and withdrawal charges may apply to withdrawals during the first Contract Year unless you take the necessary steps to elect to take such withdrawals under a Systematic Withdrawal Program. Withdrawal charges will also apply to withdrawals of Purchase Payments that exceed the free withdrawal amount. (See "Expenses-Withdrawal Charge.") IF IN ANY CONTRACT YEAR YOU TAKE CUMULATIVE WITHDRAWALS THAT EXCEED THE ANNUAL BENEFIT PAYMENT, THE TOTAL PAYMENTS THAT THE GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT RIDERS GUARANTEE THAT YOU OR YOUR BENEFICIARY WILL RECEIVE FROM THE CONTRACT OVER TIME MAY BE LESS THAN THE INITIAL GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT FOR THE ENHANCED GWB AND GWB I OR THE INITIAL TOTAL GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT FOR THE LIFETIME WITHDRAWAL GUARANTEE RIDERS. THIS REDUCTION MAY BE SIGNIFICANT AND MEANS THAT RETURN OF YOUR PURCHASE PAYMENTS MAY BE LOST. THE RIDER CHARGE WILL CONTINUE TO BE DEDUCTED AND CALCULATED BASED ON THE GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT FOR THE ENHANCED GWB AND GWB I OR THE TOTAL GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT FOR THE LIFETIME WITHDRAWAL GUARANTEE RIDERS UNTIL TERMINATION OF THE RIDER. For purposes of calculating the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount for the Enhanced GWB and GWB I or the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount for the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee riders, Purchase Payment Credits are not included. RIDER CHARGES. If a Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee rider is in effect, we will continue to assess the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee rider charge even in the case where your Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount, as described below, equals zero. However, if the Enhanced GWB or GWB I rider is in effect, we will not continue to assess the GWB rider charge if your Benefit Base, as described below, equals zero. WITHDRAWAL CHARGE. We will apply a withdrawal charge to withdrawals from Purchase Payments of up to 8% of Purchase Payments taken in the first nine years following receipt of the applicable Purchase Payment. (See "Expenses - Withdrawal Charge - Free Withdrawal Amount" and "Access to Your Money - Systematic Withdrawal Program.") TAXES. Withdrawals of taxable amounts will be subject to ordinary income tax and, if made prior to age 59 1/2, a 10% federal tax penalty may apply. TAX TREATMENT. THE TAX TREATMENT OF WITHDRAWALS UNDER THE GWB RIDERS IS UNCERTAIN. IT IS CONCEIVABLE THAT THE AMOUNT OF POTENTIAL GAIN COULD BE DETERMINED BASED ON THE BENEFIT BASE FOR THE ENHANCED GWB AND GWB I OR THE 57

REMAINING GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT UNDER THE LIFETIME WITHDRAWAL GUARANTEE RIDERS AT THE TIME OF THE WITHDRAWAL, IF THE BENEFIT BASE OR REMAINING GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT IS GREATER THAN THE ACCOUNT VALUE (PRIOR TO WITHDRAWAL CHARGES, IF APPLICABLE). THIS COULD RESULT IN A GREATER AMOUNT OF TAXABLE INCOME REPORTED UNDER A WITHDRAWAL AND CONCEIVABLY A LIMITED ABILITY TO RECOVER ANY REMAINING BASIS IF THERE IS A LOSS ON SURRENDER OF THE CONTRACT. CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISER PRIOR TO PURCHASE. LIFETIME WITHDRAWAL GUARANTEE, GWB, AND DECEDENT CONTRACTS. If you are purchasing this contract with a nontaxable transfer of the death benefit proceeds of any annuity contract or IRA (or any other tax-qualified arrangement) of which you were the Beneficiary and you are "stretching" the distributions under the IRS required distribution rules, you may not purchase the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee rider. If you are purchasing this contract with a nontaxable transfer of the death benefit proceeds of any Non-Qualified annuity contract of which you were the Beneficiary and you are "stretching" the distributions under the IRS required distribution rules, you may not purchase the Enhanced GWB or GWB I rider. (See Appendix E for examples of the GWB riders.) DESCRIPTION OF THE LIFETIME WITHDRAWAL GUARANTEE II TOTAL GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT. While the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II rider is in effect, we guarantee that you will receive a minimum amount over time. We refer to this minimum amount as the TOTAL GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT. The initial Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount is equal to your initial Purchase Payment. We increase the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount (up to a maximum of $10,000,000) by each additional Purchase Payment. If you take a withdrawal that does not exceed the Annual Benefit Payment (see "Annual Benefit Payment" below), then we will not reduce the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount. We refer to this type of withdrawal as a Non-Excess Withdrawal. If, however, you take a withdrawal that results in cumulative withdrawals for the current Contract Year that exceed the Annual Benefit Payment, then we will reduce the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount in the same proportion that the entire withdrawal (including any applicable withdrawal charges) reduced the Account Value. We refer to this type of withdrawal as an Excess Withdrawal. THIS REDUCTION MAY BE SIGNIFICANT, PARTICULARLY WHEN THE ACCOUNT VALUE IS LOWER THAN THE TOTAL GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT (SEE "MANAGING YOUR WITHDRAWALS" BELOW). Limiting your cumulative withdrawals during a Contract Year to not more than the Annual Benefit Payment will result in dollar-for-dollar treatment of the withdrawals. REMAINING GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT. The REMAINING GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT is the remaining amount you are guaranteed to receive over time. The initial Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount is equal to the initial Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount. We increase the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount (up to a maximum of $10,000,000) by additional Purchase Payments, and we decrease the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount by withdrawals. If you take a Non-Excess Withdrawal, we will decrease the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount, dollar-for-dollar, by the amount of the Non-Excess Withdrawal (including any applicable withdrawal charges). If, however, you take an Excess Withdrawal, then we will reduce the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount in the same proportion that the withdrawal (including any applicable withdrawal charges) reduces the Account Value. THIS REDUCTION MAY BE SIGNIFICANT, PARTICULARLY WHEN THE ACCOUNT VALUE IS LOWER THAN THE REMAINING GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT (SEE "MANAGING YOUR WITHDRAWALS" BELOW). Limiting your cumulative withdrawals during a Contract Year to not more than the Annual Benefit Payment will result in dollar-for-dollar treatment of the withdrawals. As described below under "Annual Benefit Payment," the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount is the total amount you are guaranteed to receive over time if you take your first withdrawal before the Owner or older Joint Owner (or the Annuitant if the Owner is a non-natural person) is age 59 1/2. The Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount is also used to calculate an alternate death benefit available under the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee (see "Additional Information" below). AUTOMATIC ANNUAL STEP-UP. On each contract anniversary prior to the Owner's 91st birthday, an Automatic Annual Step-Up will occur, provided that the 58
N-463rd Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 63rd
Account Value exceeds the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount (after compounding) immediately before the step-up (and provided that you have not chosen to decline the step-up as described below). The Automatic Annual Step-Up: o resets the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount and the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount to the Account Value on the date of the step-up, up to a maximum of $10,000,000, regardless of whether or not you have taken any withdrawals; o resets the Annual Benefit Payment equal to 5% of the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount after the step-up (or 6% if you make your first withdrawal during a Contract Year in which the Owner (or older Joint Owner, or Annuitant if the Owner is a non-natural person) attains or will attain age 76 or older); and o may reset the LWG II rider charge to a rate that does not exceed the lower of: (a) the Maximum Automatic Annual Step-Up Charge (1.60% for the Single Life version or 1.80% for the Joint Life version) or (b) the current rate that we would charge for the same rider available for new contract purchases at the time of the Automatic Annual Step-Up. For contracts issued on or before February 23, 2009, the maximum charge upon an --------------------------------------------------- Automatic Annual Step-Up is 1.25% (Single Life version) or 1.50% (Joint Life version). In the event that the charge applicable to contract purchases at the time of the step-up is higher than your current LWG II rider charge, we will notify you in writing a minimum of 30 days in advance of the applicable contract anniversary and inform you that you may choose to decline the Automatic Annual Step-Up. If you choose to decline the Automatic Annual Step-Up, you must notify us in accordance with our Administrative Procedures (currently we require you to submit your request in writing to our Annuity Service Center no less than seven calendar days prior to the applicable contract anniversary). Once you notify us of your decision to decline the Automatic Annual Step-Up, you will no longer be eligible for future Automatic Annual Step-Ups until you notify us in writing to our Annuity Service Center that you wish to reinstate the step-ups. This reinstatement will take effect at the next contract anniversary after we receive your request for reinstatement. Please note that the Automatic Annual Step-Up may be of limited benefit if you intend to make Purchase Payments that would cause your Account Value to approach $10,000,000, because the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount and Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount cannot exceed $10,000,000. For contracts issued on or before February 23, 2009, if your Total Guaranteed --------------------------------------------------- Withdrawal Amount is increased due to an Automatic Annual Step-Up on a contract anniversary occurring on July 1, 2012 or later, we currently will increase the rider charge for the Single Life version to 0.95% of the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount, and we will increase the rider charge for the Joint Life version to 1.20% of the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount, applicable after the contract anniversary on which the Automatic Annual Step-Up occurs. ANNUAL BENEFIT PAYMENT. The initial ANNUAL BENEFIT PAYMENT is equal to the initial Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount multiplied by the 5% Withdrawal Rate (6% Withdrawal Rate if you make your first withdrawal during a Contract Year in which the Owner (or older Joint Owner, or Annuitant if the Owner is a non- natural person) attains or will attain age 76 or older). If the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount is later recalculated (for example, because of additional Purchase Payments, the Automatic Annual Step-Up, or Excess Withdrawals), the Annual Benefit Payment is reset equal to the new Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount multiplied by the 5% Withdrawal Rate (6% Withdrawal Rate if you make your first withdrawal during a Contract Year in which the Owner (or older Joint Owner, or Annuitant if the Owner is a non-natural person) attains or will attain age 76 or older). IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE: o If you take your first withdrawal before the date you reach age 59 1/2, we will continue to pay the Annual Benefit Payment each year until the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount is depleted, even if your Account Value declines to zero. This means if your Account Value is depleted due to a Non-Excess Withdrawal or the deduction of the rider charge, and your Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount is greater than zero, we will pay you the remaining Annual Benefit Payment, if any, not yet withdrawn during the Contract Year that the Account Value was depleted, and beginning in the following Contract Year, we will continue paying the Annual Benefit Payment to you each year until your Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount is depleted. This guarantees that you will receive your Purchase Payments even if your Account Value declines to zero due to market 59
N-464th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 64th
performance, so long as you do not take Excess Withdrawals; however, you will not be guaranteed income for the rest of your life. o If you take your first withdrawal on or after the date you reach age 59 1/2, we will continue to pay the Annual Benefit Payment each year for the rest of your life (and the life of your spouse, if the Joint Life version of the rider was elected, and your spouse elects to continue the contract and is at least age 59 1/2 at continuation), even if your Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount and/or Account Value declines to zero. This means if your Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount and/or your Account Value is depleted due to a Non-Excess Withdrawal or the deduction of the rider charge, we will pay to you the remaining Annual Benefit Payment, if any, not yet withdrawn during that Contract Year that the Account Value was depleted, and beginning in the following Contract Year, we will continue paying the Annual Benefit Payment to you each year for the rest of your life (and your spouse's life, if the Joint Life version of the rider was elected, and your spouse elects to continue the contract and is at least age 59 1/2 at continuation). Therefore, you will be guaranteed income for life. o If you take your first withdrawal during a Contract Year in which the Owner (or older Joint Owner, or Annuitant if the Owner is a non-natural person) attains or will attain age 76 or older, your Annual Benefit payment will be set equal to a 6% Withdrawal Rate multiplied by the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount. o IF YOU HAVE ELECTED THE LWG II, YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER WHEN TO BEGIN TAKING WITHDRAWALS. IF YOU BEGIN TAKING WITHDRAWALS TOO SOON, YOU MAY LIMIT THE VALUE OF THE LWG II. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU DELAY TAKING WITHDRAWALS FOR TOO LONG, YOU MAY LIMIT THE NUMBER OF YEARS AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO TAKE WITHDRAWALS IN THE FUTURE (DUE TO LIFE EXPECTANCY) AND YOU MAY BE PAYING FOR A BENEFIT YOU ARE NOT USING. o You have the option of receiving withdrawals under the LWG II rider or receiving payments under an annuity income option. You should consult with your registered representative when deciding how to receive income under this contract. In making this decision, you should consider many factors, including the relative amount of current income provided by the two options, the potential ability to receive higher future payments through potential increases to the value of the LWG II (as described below), your potential need to make additional withdrawals in the future, and the relative values to you of the death benefits available prior to and after annuitization. (See "Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee and Annuitization" below.) MANAGING YOUR WITHDRAWALS. It is important that you carefully manage your annual withdrawals. To retain the full guarantees of this rider, your annual withdrawals cannot exceed the Annual Benefit Payment each Contract Year. In other words, you should not take Excess Withdrawals. We do not include withdrawal charges for the purpose of calculating whether you have taken an Excess Withdrawal. IF YOU DO TAKE AN EXCESS WITHDRAWAL, WE WILL RECALCULATE THE TOTAL GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT AND REDUCE THE ANNUAL BENEFIT PAYMENT TO THE NEW TOTAL GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT MULTIPLIED BY THE 5% WITHDRAWAL RATE (6% WITHDRAWAL RATE IF YOU MAKE YOUR FIRST WITHDRAWAL DURING A CONTRACT YEAR IN WHICH THE OWNER (OR OLDER JOINT OWNER, OR ANNUITANT IF THE OWNER IS A NON- NATURAL PERSON) ATTAINS OR WILL ATTAIN AGE 76 OR OLDER). IN ADDITION, AS NOTED ABOVE, IF YOU TAKE AN EXCESS WITHDRAWAL, WE WILL REDUCE THE REMAINING GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT IN THE SAME PROPORTION THAT THE WITHDRAWAL REDUCES THE ACCOUNT VALUE. THESE REDUCTIONS IN THE TOTAL GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT, ANNUAL BENEFIT PAYMENT, AND REMAINING GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT MAY BE SIGNIFICANT. You are still eligible to receive either lifetime payments or the remainder of the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount so long as the withdrawal that exceeded the Annual Benefit Payment did not cause your Account Value to decline to zero. AN EXCESS WITHDRAWAL THAT REDUCES THE ACCOUNT VALUE TO ZERO WILL TERMINATE THE CONTRACT. You can always take Non-Excess Withdrawals. However, if you choose to receive only a part of your Annual Benefit Payment in any given Contract Year, your Annual Benefit Payment is not cumulative and your Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount and Annual Benefit Payment will not increase. For example, since your Annual 60
N-465th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 65th
Benefit Payment is 5% of your Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount (or 6% if you make your first withdrawal during a Contract Year in which the Owner (or older Joint Owner, or Annuitant if the Owner is a non-natural person) attains or will attain age 76 or older), you cannot withdraw 3% of the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount in one year and then withdraw 7% of the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount the next year without making an Excess Withdrawal in the second year. REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS. For IRAs and other contracts subject to Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code, you may be required to take withdrawals to fulfill minimum distribution requirements generally beginning at age 70 1/2. These required distributions may be larger than your Annual Benefit Payment. If you enroll in the Automated Required Minimum Distribution Program and elect annual withdrawals, AFTER THE FIRST CONTRACT YEAR, we will increase your Annual Benefit Payment to equal your most recently calculated required minimum distribution amount, if such amount is greater than your Annual Benefit Payment. Otherwise, any cumulative withdrawals you make to satisfy your required minimum distribution amount will be treated as Excess Withdrawals if they exceed your Annual Benefit Payment. YOU MUST BE ENROLLED ONLY IN THE ---- AUTOMATED REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM TO QUALIFY FOR THIS INCREASE IN THE ANNUAL BENEFIT PAYMENT. YOU MAY NOT BE ENROLLED IN ANY OTHER SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM. THE FREQUENCY OF YOUR WITHDRAWALS MUST BE ANNUAL. THE AUTOMATED REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM IS BASED ON INFORMATION RELATING TO THIS CONTRACT ONLY. To enroll in the Automated Required Minimum Distribution Program, please contact our Annuity Service Center. INVESTMENT ALLOCATION RESTRICTIONS. If you elect the LWG II rider, there are certain investment allocation restrictions. Please see "Purchase - Investment Allocation and Other Purchase Payment Restrictions for GMIB Plus II, Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II, and EDB I" above. If you elect the LWG II, you may not participate in the Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) program. However, you may elect to participate in the Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging (EDCA) program, provided that your destination Investment Portfolios are selected in accordance with the investment allocation restrictions. CURRENT RESTRICTIONS ON SUBSEQUENT PURCHASE PAYMENTS. Subsequent Purchase Payments under the LWG II rider are restricted as described in "Purchase - Restrictions on Subsequent Purchase Payments - GMIB Plus II, Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II, and EDB I." JOINT LIFE VERSION. A Joint Life version of the LWG II rider is available for a charge of 1.50% (which may increase upon an Automatic Annual Step-Up to a maximum of 1.80%). (See "Automatic Annual Step-Up" above.) Like the Single Life version of the LWG II rider, the Joint Life version must be elected at the time you purchase the contract, and the Owner (or older Joint Owner) must be age 80 or younger. Under the Joint Life version, when the Owner of the contract dies (or when the first Joint Owner dies), the LWG II rider will automatically remain in effect only if the spouse is the primary Beneficiary and elects to continue the contract under the spousal continuation provisions. (See "Death Benefit-Spousal Continuation.") This means that if you purchase the Joint Life version and subsequently get divorced, or your spouse is no longer the primary Beneficiary at the time of your death, he or she will not be eligible to receive payments under the LWG II rider. If the spouse is younger than age 59 1/2 when he or she elects to continue the contract, the spouse will receive the Annual Benefit Payment each year until the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount is depleted. If the spouse is age 59 1/2 or older when he or she elects to continue the contract, the spouse will receive the Annual Benefit Payment each year for the remainder of his or her life. If the first withdrawal was taken before the contract Owner died (or before the first Joint Owner died), the Withdrawal Rate upon continuation of the contract and LWG II rider by the spouse will be based on the age of the contract Owner, or older Joint Owner, at the time the first withdrawal was taken (see "Annual Benefit Payment" above). In situations in which a trust is both the Owner and Beneficiary of the contract, the Joint Life version of the LWG II would not apply. For contracts issued on or before February 23, 2009, the current charge for the --------------------------------------------------- Joint Life version is 0.85% (which may increase upon an Automatic Annual Step-Up to a maximum of 1.50%). (See "Automatic Annual Step-Up" above.) CANCELLATION AND GUARANTEED PRINCIPAL ADJUSTMENT. You may elect to cancel the LWG II rider on the contract anniversary every five Contract Years for the first 15 Contract Years and annually thereafter. We must receive your cancellation request within 30 days following 61
N-466th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 66th
the applicable contract anniversary in accordance with our Administrative Procedures (currently we require you to submit your request in writing to our Annuity Service Center). The cancellation will take effect upon our receipt of your request. If cancelled, the LWG II rider will terminate, we will no longer deduct the LWG II rider charge, and the investment allocation restrictions described in "Purchase - Investment Allocation and Other Purchase Payment Restrictions for GMIB Plus II, Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II, and EDB I" will no longer apply. The variable annuity contract, however, will continue. If you cancel the LWG II rider on the fifteenth contract anniversary or any contract anniversary thereafter, we will add a Guaranteed Principal Adjustment to your Account Value. The Guaranteed Principal Adjustment is intended to restore your initial investment in the contract in the case of poor investment performance. The Guaranteed Principal Adjustment is equal to (a) - (b) where: (a) is Purchase Payments credited within 120 days of the date that we issued the contract, reduced proportionately by the percentage reduction in Account Value attributable to any partial withdrawals taken (including any applicable withdrawal charges) and (b) is the Account Value on the date of cancellation. The Guaranteed Principal Adjustment will be added to each applicable Investment Portfolio in the ratio the portion of the Account Value in such Investment Portfolio bears to the total Account Value in all Investment Portfolios. The Guaranteed Principal Adjustment will never be less than zero. Only Purchase Payments made during the first 120 days that you hold the contract are taken into consideration in determining the Guaranteed Principal Adjustment. Contract Owners who anticipate making Purchase Payments after 120 days should understand that such payments will not increase the Guaranteed Principal Adjustment. Purchase Payments made after 120 days are added to your Account Value and impact whether or not a benefit is due. Therefore, the LWG II may not be appropriate for you if you intend to make additional Purchase Payments after the 120-day period and are purchasing the LWG II for its Guaranteed Principal Adjustment feature. TERMINATION OF THE LIFETIME WITHDRAWAL GUARANTEE II RIDER. The Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II rider will terminate upon the earliest of: (1) the date of a full withdrawal of the Account Value (you are still eligible to receive either the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount or lifetime payments, provided the withdrawal did not exceed the Annual Benefit Payment and the provisions and conditions of the rider have been met) (a pro rata portion of the rider charge will be assessed); (2) the date all of the Account Value is applied to an Annuity Option (a pro rata portion of the rider charge will be assessed); (3) the date there are insufficient funds to deduct the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee rider charge from the Account Value and your contract is thereby terminated (whatever Account Value is available will be applied to pay the rider charge and you are still eligible to receive either the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount or lifetime payments, provided the provisions and conditions of the rider have been met; however, you will have no other benefits under the contract); (4) death of the Owner or Joint Owner (or the Annuitant if the Owner is a non-natural person), except where the contract is issued under the Joint Life version of the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee, the primary Beneficiary is the spouse, and the spouse elects to continue the contract under the spousal continuation provisions of the contract; (5) change of the Owner or Joint Owner for any reason, subject to our administrative procedures (a pro rata portion of the rider charge will be assessed); (6) the effective date of the cancellation of the rider; (7) termination of the contract to which the rider is attached, other than due to death (a pro rata portion of the rider charge will be assessed); or (8) the date you assign your contract (a pro rata portion of the rider charge will be assessed). Under our current administrative procedures, we will waive the termination of the LWG II rider if you assign a portion of the contract under the following limited circumstances: if the assignment is solely for your benefit on account of your direct transfer of Account Value under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code to fund premiums for a long term care insurance policy or Purchase Payments for an annuity contract issued by an insurance company which is not our affiliate and which is licensed to conduct business 62
N-467th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 67th
in any state. All such direct transfers are subject to any applicable withdrawal charges. Once the rider is terminated, the LWG II rider charge will no longer be deducted and the LWG II investment allocation restrictions will no longer apply. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. The LWG II rider may affect the death benefit available under your contract. If the Owner or Joint Owner should die while the LWG II rider is in effect, an alternate death benefit amount will be calculated under the LWG II rider that can be taken in a lump sum. The LWG II death benefit amount that may be taken as a lump sum will be equal to total Purchase Payments less any partial withdrawals (deducted on a dollar-for-dollar basis). If this death benefit amount is greater than the death benefit provided by your contract, and if you made no Excess Withdrawals, then this death benefit amount will be paid instead of the death benefit provided by the contract. All other provisions of your contract's death benefit will apply. Alternatively, the Beneficiary may elect to receive the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount as a death benefit, in which case we will pay the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount on a monthly basis (or any mutually agreed upon frequency, but no less frequently than annually) until the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount is exhausted. The Beneficiary's withdrawal rights then come to an end. Currently, there is no minimum dollar amount for the payments; however, we reserve the right to accelerate any payment, in a lump sum, that is less than $500 (see below). This death benefit will be paid instead of the applicable contractual death benefit or the additional death benefit amount calculated under the LWG II as described above. Otherwise, the provisions of those contractual death benefits will determine the amount of the death benefit. Except as may be required by the Internal Revenue Code, an annual payment will not exceed the Annual Benefit Payment. If your Beneficiary dies while such payments are made, we will continue making the payments to the Beneficiary's estate unless we have agreed to another payee in writing. If the contract is a Non-Qualified Contract, any death benefit must be paid out over a time period and in a manner that satisfies Section 72(s) of the Internal Revenue Code. If the Owner (or the Annuitant, if the Owner is not a natural person) dies prior to the "annuity starting date" (as defined under the Internal Revenue Code and regulations thereunder), the period over which the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount is paid as a death benefit cannot exceed the remaining life expectancy of the payee under the appropriate IRS tables. For purposes of the preceding sentence, if the payee is a non-natural person, the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount must be paid out within 5 years from the date of death. Payments under this death benefit must begin within 12 months following the date of death. We reserve the right to accelerate any payment, in a lump sum, that is less than $500 or to comply with requirements under the Internal Revenue Code (including minimum distribution requirements for IRAs and other contracts subject to Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code and Non-Qualified Contracts subject to Section 72(s)). If you terminate the LWG II rider because (1) you make a total withdrawal of your Account Value; (2) your Account Value is insufficient to pay the LWG II rider charge; or (3) the contract Owner dies, except where the Beneficiary or Joint Owner is the spouse of the Owner and the spouse elects to continue the contract, you may not make additional Purchase Payments under the contract. 7.25% COMPOUNDING INCOME AMOUNT. For contracts issued prior to July 13, 2009, ------------------------------------------- on each contract anniversary until the earlier of: (a) the date of the second withdrawal from the contract or (b) the tenth contract anniversary, we increase the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount and the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount by an amount equal to 7.25% multiplied by the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount and Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount before such increase (up to a maximum of $10,000,000). We take the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount and the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount as of the last day of the Contract Year to determine the amount subject to the increase. We may also increase the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount and Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount by the Automatic Annual Step-Up, if that would result in a higher Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount and Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount. LIFETIME WITHDRAWAL GUARANTEE AND ANNUITIZATION. Since the Annuity Date at the time you purchase the contract is the later of age 90 of the Annuitant or 10 years from contract issue, you must make an election if you would like to extend your Annuity Date to the latest date permitted (subject to restrictions that may apply in your state, restrictions imposed by your selling firm, and our current established administrative procedures). If you elect to extend your Annuity Date to the latest date permitted, and that date is reached, your contract must be 63
N-468th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 68th
annuitized (see "Annuity Payments (The Income Phase)"), or you must make a complete withdrawal of your Account Value. Annuitization may provide higher income amounts than the payments under the LWG II rider, depending on the applicable annuity option rates and your Account Value on the Annuity Date. If you annuitize at the latest date permitted, you must elect one of the following options: (1) Annuitize the Account Value under the contract's annuity provisions. (2) If you took withdrawals before age 59 1/2, and therefore you are not eligible for lifetime withdrawals under the LWG II rider, elect to receive the Annual Benefit Payment paid each year until the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount is depleted. These payments will be equal in amount, except for the last payment that will be in an amount necessary to reduce the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount to zero. (3) If you are eligible for lifetime withdrawals under the LWG II rider, elect to receive the Annual Benefit Payment paid each year until your death (or the later of you and your spousal Beneficiary's death for the Joint Life version). If you (or you and your spousal Beneficiary for the Joint Life version) die before the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount is depleted, your Beneficiaries will continue to receive payments equal to the Annual Benefit Payment each year until the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount is depleted. These payments will be equal in amount, except for the last payment that will be in an amount necessary to reduce the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount to zero. If you do not select an Annuity Option or elect to receive payments under the LWG II rider, we will annuitize your contract under the Life Annuity with 10 Years of Annuity Payments Guaranteed Annuity Option. However, if we do, we will adjust your Annuity Payment or the Annuity Option, if necessary, so your aggregate Annuity Payments will not be less than what you would have received under the LWG II rider. DESCRIPTION OF THE LIFETIME WITHDRAWAL GUARANTEE I The Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I rider is identical to the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II, with the exceptions described below. TOTAL GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT. The maximum Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount for the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I rider is $5,000,000. If you elect the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I rider and take an Excess Withdrawal, we will reduce the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount by an amount equal to the difference between the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount after the withdrawal and the Account Value after the withdrawal (if lower). On the other hand, if you elect the LWG II rider and take an Excess Withdrawal, we will reduce the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount in the same proportion that the withdrawal reduces the Account Value. REMAINING GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT. The maximum Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount for the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I rider is $5,000,000. If you elect the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I rider and take a withdrawal, we will reduce the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount by the amount of each withdrawal regardless of whether it is an Excess or Non-Excess withdrawal. However, if the withdrawal is an Excess Withdrawal, then we will additionally reduce the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount to equal the difference between the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount after the withdrawal and the Account Value after the withdrawal (if lower). On the other hand, if you elect the LWG II rider and take a withdrawal, we will reduce the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount by the amount of each withdrawal for withdrawals that are Non-Excess Withdrawals and for Excess Withdrawals, we will reduce the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount in the same proportion that the withdrawal reduces the Account Value. COMPOUNDING INCOME AMOUNT. If you elect the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I rider, on each contract anniversary until the earlier of: (a) the date of the first withdrawal from the contract or (b) the tenth contract anniversary, we increase the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount and the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount by an amount equal to 5% multiplied by the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount and Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount before such increase. We take the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount and the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount as of the last day of the Contract Year to determine the amount subject to the increase. 64

ANNUAL BENEFIT PAYMENT. Under the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I, the Annual Benefit Payment is set equal to the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount multiplied by the 5% Withdrawal Rate (there is no 6% Withdrawal Rate for taking later withdrawals). AUTOMATIC ANNUAL STEP-UP. If an Automatic Annual Step-Up occurs under the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I rider, we may increase the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I rider charge to the charge applicable to current contract purchases of the same rider at the time of the step-up, but to no more than a maximum of 0.95% (Single Life version) or 1.40% (Joint Life version) of the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount. If your Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount is increased due to an Automatic Annual Step-Up on a contract anniversary occurring on July 1, 2012 or later, we currently will increase the rider charge for the Single Life version to 0.80% of the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount, and we will increase the rider charge for the Joint Life version to 1.05% of the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount, applicable after the contract anniversary on which the Automatic Annual Step-Up occurs. Automatic Annual Step-Ups may occur on each contract anniversary prior to the Owner's 86th birthday. TERMINATION. Termination provision (8) under "Termination of the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II Rider" does not apply to the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I rider. RIDER CHARGE. The charge for the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I rider is 0.50% (Single Life version) or 0.70% (Joint Life version) of the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount (see "Expenses - Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee and Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit - Rider Charge"). INVESTMENT ALLOCATION RESTRICTIONS. If you elect the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I rider, you are limited to allocating your Purchase Payments and Account Value among the Fixed Account and the following Investment Portfolios: (a) the AllianceBernstein Global Dynamic Allocation Portfolio (b) the Allianz Global Investors Dynamic Multi-Asset Plus Portfolio (c) the American Funds (Reg. TM) Balanced Allocation Portfolio (d) the American Funds (Reg. TM) Growth Allocation Portfolio (e) the American Funds (Reg.

CURRENT RESTRICTIONS ON SUBSEQUENT PURCHASE PAYMENTS. Subsequent Purchase Payments under the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I rider are restricted as described in "Purchase - Restrictions on Subsequent Purchase Payments for GMIB I, GMIB Plus I, GWB I, Enhanced GWB, Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I, and GMAB." DESCRIPTION OF THE ENHANCED GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT BENEFIT BASE. The Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount is the maximum TOTAL amount of money that you are guaranteed to receive over time under the Enhanced GWB rider. At issue, the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount and the Benefit Base are both equal to your initial Purchase Payment plus 65
N-470th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 70th
the GWB Bonus Amount. At any subsequent point in time, the BENEFIT BASE is the remaining amount of money that you are guaranteed to receive through withdrawals under the Enhanced GWB rider. Your Benefit Base will change with each Purchase Payment, or as the result of an Optional Reset. Also, each withdrawal will reduce your Benefit Base. If negative investment performance reduces your Account Value below the Benefit Base, you are still guaranteed to be able to withdraw the entire amount of your Benefit Base. The Benefit Base is equal to: o Your initial Purchase Payment, increased by the 5% GWB Bonus Amount; o Increased by each subsequent Purchase Payment, and by the 5% GWB Bonus Amount; o Reduced dollar for dollar by Benefits Paid, which are withdrawals and amounts applied to an Annuity Option (currently, you may not apply amounts less than your entire Account Value to an Annuity Option); and o If a Benefit Paid from your contract is not payable to the contract Owner or the contract Owner's bank account (or to the Annuitant or the Annuitant's bank account, if the Owner is a non-natural person), or results in cumulative Benefits Paid for the current Contract Year exceeding the Annual Benefit Payment, and the resulting Benefit Base exceeds the Account Value, an additional reduction in the Benefit Base will be made. This additional reduction will be equal to the difference between the Benefit Base and your Account Value after the decrease for the Benefits Paid. The Benefit Base will also be reset as a result of an Optional Reset as described below. (See section E of Appendix E for examples of how withdrawals affect the Benefit Base.) ANNUAL BENEFIT PAYMENT. The ANNUAL BENEFIT PAYMENT is the maximum amount of your Benefit Base you may withdraw each Contract Year without adversely impacting the amount guaranteed to be available to you through withdrawals over time. The initial Annual Benefit Payment is equal to the initial Benefit Base multiplied by the GWB WITHDRAWAL RATE (7%). The Annual Benefit Payment is reset after each subsequent Purchase Payment to the greater of: (1) the Annual Benefit Payment before the subsequent Purchase Payment, and (2) the GWB Withdrawal Rate multiplied by the Benefit Base after the subsequent Purchase Payment. The Annual Benefit Payment will also be reset as a result of an Optional Reset as described below. You can continue to receive annual withdrawals in an amount equal to or less than your Annual Benefit Payment until your Benefit Base is depleted. MANAGING YOUR WITHDRAWALS. It is important that you carefully manage your annual withdrawals. To retain the guarantees of this rider, your annual withdrawals cannot exceed the Annual Benefit Payment each Contract Year. We refer to withdrawals during a Contract Year that exceed the Annual Benefit Payment as Excess Withdrawals. We do not include withdrawal charges for the purpose of calculating whether you have taken an Excess Withdrawal. YOU SHOULD NOT TAKE EXCESS WITHDRAWALS. IF YOU DO TAKE AN EXCESS WITHDRAWAL, OR IF A WITHDRAWAL IS NOT PAYABLE TO THE CONTRACT OWNER OR THE CONTRACT OWNER'S BANK ACCOUNT (OR TO THE ANNUITANT OR THE ANNUITANT'S BANK ACCOUNT, IF THE OWNER IS A NON-NATURAL PERSON), THE ANNUAL BENEFIT PAYMENT WILL BE RECALCULATED AND MAY BE REDUCED. THIS REDUCTION MAY BE SIGNIFICANT. The new Annual Benefit Payment will equal the lower of (1) the Annual Benefit Payment before the withdrawal and (2) your Account Value after the decrease for the withdrawal (including any applicable withdrawal charge) multiplied by the GWB Withdrawal Rate. Because the GWB rider charge is assessed as a percentage of the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount, any decrease of the Annual Benefit Payment caused by an Excess Withdrawal results in an increase in the cost of the rider relative to the benefits you will receive. (See sections F and G of Appendix E for examples of how withdrawals and subsequent Purchase Payments affect the Annual Benefit Payment.) You can always take annual withdrawals less than the Annual Benefit Payment. However, if you choose to receive only a part of, or none of, your Annual Benefit Payment in any given Contract Year, your Annual Benefit Payment is not cumulative and your Benefit Base and Annual Benefit Payment will not increase. For example, if your Annual Benefit Payment is 7% of your Benefit Base and you withdraw only 4% one year, you cannot then withdraw 10% the next year without exceeding your Annual Benefit Payment. REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS. For IRAs and other contracts subject to Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code, you may be required to take withdrawals to fulfill minimum distribution requirements generally 66
N-471st Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 71st
beginning at age 70 1/2. These required distributions may be larger than your Annual Benefit Payment. If you enroll in the Automated Required Minimum Distribution Program and elect annual withdrawals, AFTER THE FIRST CONTRACT YEAR, we will increase your Annual Benefit Payment to equal your most recently calculated required minimum distribution amount, if such amount is greater than your Annual Benefit Payment. Otherwise, any cumulative withdrawals you make to satisfy your required minimum distribution amount will be treated as Excess Withdrawals if they exceed your Annual Benefit Payment. YOU MUST BE ENROLLED ONLY IN THE AUTOMATED REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM TO QUALIFY FOR THIS ---- INCREASE IN THE ANNUAL BENEFIT PAYMENT. YOU MAY NOT BE ENROLLED IN ANY OTHER SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM. THE FREQUENCY OF YOUR WITHDRAWALS MUST BE ANNUAL. THE AUTOMATED REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM IS BASED ON INFORMATION RELATING TO THIS CONTRACT ONLY. To enroll in the Automated Required Minimum Distribution Program, please contact our Annuity Service Center. GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT. We assess the GWB rider charge as a percentage of the GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT, which is initially set at an amount equal to your initial Purchase Payment plus the GWB Bonus Amount. The Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount may increase with subsequent Purchase Payments. In this case, the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount will be reset equal to the greater of: (1) the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount before the Purchase Payment and (2) the Benefit Base after the Purchase Payment. Withdrawals do not decrease the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount. The Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount will also be reset as a result of an Optional Reset as described below. If your Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount increases, the amount of the Enhanced GWB rider charge we deduct will increase because the rider charge is a percentage of your Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount. OPTIONAL RESET. At any contract anniversary prior to the 86th birthday of the Owner (or older Joint Owner, or Annuitant if the contract is owned by a non-natural person), you may elect an Optional Reset. The purpose of an Optional Reset is to "lock-in" a higher Benefit Base, which may increase the amount of the Annual Benefit Payment and lengthen the period of time over which these withdrawals can be taken. We reserve the right to prohibit an Optional Reset election if we no longer offer this benefit. An Optional Reset will: o Reset your Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount and Benefit Base equal to the Account Value on the date of the reset; o Reset your Annual Benefit Payment equal to the Account Value on the date of the reset multiplied by the GWB Withdrawal Rate (7%); and o Reset the Enhanced GWB rider charge equal to the then current level we charge for the same rider at the time of the reset, up to the maximum charge of 1.00%. You may elect either a one-time Optional Reset or Automatic Annual Resets. A one-time Optional Reset is permitted only if: (1) your Account Value is larger than the Benefit Base immediately before the reset, and (2) the reset occurs prior to the 86th birthday of the Owner (or older Joint Owner, or Annuitant if the contract is owned by a non-natural person). We must receive your request for a one-time Optional Reset in accordance with our administrative procedures (currently we require you to submit your request in writing to our Annuity Service Center) before the applicable contract anniversary. The Optional Reset will take effect on the next contract anniversary following our receipt of your written request. If you elect Automatic Annual Resets, a reset will occur automatically on any contract anniversary if: (1) your Account Value is larger than the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount immediately before the reset, and (2) the contract anniversary is prior to the 86th birthday of the Owner (or older Joint Owner, or Annuitant if the contract is owned by a non-natural person). The same conditions will apply to each Automatic Annual Reset. In the event that the charge applicable to contract purchases at the time of the Automatic Annual Reset is higher than your current Enhanced GWB rider charge, we will notify you in writing a minimum of 30 days in advance of the applicable contract anniversary and inform you that you may choose to decline the Automatic Annual Reset. You may discontinue Automatic Annual Resets by notifying us in writing, at our Annuity Service Center (or 67
N-472nd Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 72nd
by any other method acceptable to us), prior to the contract anniversary on which a reset may otherwise occur. If you discontinue the Automatic Annual Resets, no reset will occur automatically on any subsequent contract anniversary unless you make a new election under the terms described above. (If you discontinue Automatic Annual Resets, the Enhanced GWB rider (and the rider charge) will continue, and you may choose to elect a one-time Optional Reset or reinstate Automatic Annual Resets.) It is possible to elect a one-time Optional Reset when the Account Value is larger than the Benefit Base but smaller than the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount. (By contrast, an Automatic Annual Reset will never occur if the the Account Value is smaller than the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount.) If you elect a one-time Optional Reset when the Account Value before the reset was less than the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount, you would lock in a higher Benefit Base, which would increase the total amount you are guaranteed to receive through withdrawals under the Enhanced GWB rider, and extend the period of time over which you could make those withdrawals. However, you would also decrease the Annual Benefit Payment and the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount. You should consider electing a one-time Optional Reset when your Account Value is smaller than the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount only if you are willing to accept the decrease in the Annual Benefit Payment and Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount in return for locking in the higher Benefit Base. Otherwise, you should only elect a one-time Optional Reset when your Account Value is larger than the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount. Any benefit of a one-time Optional Reset or Automatic Annual Reset also depends on the current Enhanced GWB rider charge. If the current charge in effect at the time of the reset is higher than the charge you are paying, it may not be beneficial to elect a reset because we will begin applying the higher current charge at the time of the reset (even if a one-time Optional Reset results in a decrease of your Annual Benefit Payment and/or your Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount). For contracts issued prior to July 16, 2007, you may elect an Optional Reset ------------------------------------------- beginning with the third contract anniversary (as long as it is prior to the Owner's 86th birthday) and at any subsequent contract anniversary prior to the Owner's 86th birthday as long as it has been at least three years since the last Optional Reset. Automatic Annual Resets are not available. CANCELLATION OF THE ENHANCED GWB RIDER. You may elect to cancel the Enhanced GWB rider in accordance with our Administrative Procedures (currently we require you to submit your cancellation request in writing to our Annuity Service Center) during the 90-day period following your fifth contract anniversary. Such cancellation will take effect upon our receipt of your request. If cancelled, the Enhanced GWB rider will terminate and we will no longer deduct the Enhanced GWB rider charge. The variable annuity contract, however, will continue. If you cancel the Enhanced GWB rider, you may not re-elect it. TERMINATION OF THE ENHANCED GWB RIDER. The Enhanced GWB rider will terminate upon the earliest of: (1) the date you make a full withdrawal of your Account Value; (2) the date you apply all of your Account Value to an Annuity Option; (3) the date there are insufficient funds to deduct the Enhanced GWB rider charge from your Account Value (whatever Account Value is available will be applied to pay the annual Enhanced GWB rider charge); (4) the date we receive due proof of the Owner's death and a Beneficiary claim form, except where the Beneficiary or Joint Owner is the spouse of the Owner and the spouse elects to continue the contract and the spouse is less than 85 years old, or the Annuitant dies if the Owner is a non-natural person; note: (a) if the spouse elects to continue the contract (so long as the spouse is less than 85 years old and the Enhanced GWB rider is in effect at the time of continuation), all terms and conditions of the Enhanced GWB rider will apply to the surviving spouse; and (b) we will not terminate the rider until we receive both due proof of the Owner's death and a Beneficiary claim form (from certain Beneficiaries, such as a trust, we may require additional information, such as the trust document), which means we will continue to deduct the Enhanced GWB rider charge until we receive this information; (5) a change of the Owner or Joint Owner (or the Annuitant, if the Owner is a non-natural person) for any reason (currently we follow our administrative procedures regarding termination for a change of Owner or Joint Owner or Annuitant, if a non-natural person owns the contract); (6) the effective date of cancellation of the rider; or 68
N-473rd Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 73rd
(7) the termination of your contract. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. If you take a full withdrawal of your Account Value and the withdrawal does not exceed the Annual Benefit Payment, or your Account Value is reduced to zero because you do not have a sufficient Account Value to pay the Enhanced GWB rider charge and your Benefit Base after the withdrawal is greater than zero, we will commence making payments to the Owner or Joint Owner (or to the Annuitant if the Owner is a non-natural person) on a monthly basis (or any mutually agreed upon frequency, but not less frequently than annually) until the Benefit Base is exhausted. Your withdrawal rights then come to an end. Currently, there is no minimum dollar amount for the payments; however, we reserve the right to accelerate any payment, in a lump sum, that is less than $500 (see below). The total annual payments cannot exceed the Annual Benefit Payment, except to the extent required under the Internal Revenue Code. If you or the Joint Owner (or the Annuitant if the Owner is a non-natural person) should die while these payments are being made, your Beneficiary will receive these payments. No other death benefit will be paid. If the Owner or Joint Owner (or the Annuitant if the Owner is a non-natural person) should die while the Enhanced GWB rider is in effect, your Beneficiary may elect to receive the Benefit Base as a death benefit in lieu of any other contractual death benefits. Otherwise, the provisions of those death benefits will determine the amount of the death benefit and no benefit will be payable under the Enhanced GWB rider. If the Beneficiary elects the Benefit Base as a death benefit, we will pay the remaining Benefit Base on a monthly basis (or any mutually agreed upon frequency, but no less frequently than annually) until the Benefit Base is exhausted. Except as may be required by the Internal Revenue Code, an annual payment will not exceed the Annual Benefit Payment. If your Beneficiary dies while such payments are made, we will continue making the payments to the Beneficiary's estate unless we have agreed to another payee in writing. If the contract is a Non-Qualified Contract, any death benefit must be paid out over a time period and in a manner that satisfies Section 72(s) of the Internal Revenue Code. If the Owner (or the Annuitant, if the Owner is not a natural person) dies prior to the "annuity starting date" (as defined under the Internal Revenue Code and regulations thereunder), the period over which the Benefit Base is paid as a death benefit cannot exceed the remaining life expectancy of the payee under the appropriate IRS tables. For purposes of the preceding sentence, if the payee is a non-natural person, the Benefit Base must be paid out within 5 years from the date of death. Payments under this death benefit must begin within 12 months following the date of death. We reserve the right to accelerate any payment, in a lump sum, that is less than $500 or to comply with requirements under the Internal Revenue Code (including minimum distribution requirements for IRAs and other contracts subject to Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code and Non-Qualified Contracts subject to Section 72(s)). If you terminate the Enhanced GWB rider because (1) you make a total withdrawal of your Account Value; (2) your Account Value is insufficient to pay the Enhanced GWB rider charge; or (3) the contract Owner or Joint Owner (or the Annuitant, if the Owner is a non-natural person) dies, except where the Beneficiary or Joint Owner is the spouse of the Owner and the spouse elects to continue the contract and the spouse is less than 85 years old, you may not make additional Purchase Payments under the contract. CURRENT RESTRICTIONS ON SUBSEQUENT PURCHASE PAYMENTS. Subsequent Purchase Payments under the Enhanced GWB rider are restricted as described in "Purchase - Restrictions on Subsequent Purchase Payments for GMIB I, GMIB Plus I, GWB I, Enhanced GWB, Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I, and GMAB." ENHANCED GWB AND ANNUITIZATION. Since the Annuity Date at the time you purchase the contract is the later of age 90 of the Annuitant or 10 years from contract issue, you must make an election if you would like to extend your Annuity Date to the latest date permitted (subject to restrictions that may apply in your state, restrictions imposed by your selling firm, and our current established administrative procedures). If you elect to extend your Annuity Date to the latest date permitted, and that date is reached, your contract must be annuitized (see "Annuity Payments (The Income Phase)"), or you must make a complete withdrawal of your Account Value. If you annuitize at the latest date permitted, you must elect one of the following options: (1) Annuitize the Account Value under the contract's annuity provisions. (2) Elect to receive the Annual Benefit Payment under the Enhanced GWB rider paid each year until the Benefit 69
N-474th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 74th
Base is depleted. These payments will be equal in amount, except for the last payment that will be in an amount necessary to reduce the Benefit Base to zero. If you do not select an Annuity Option or elect to receive payments under the Enhanced GWB rider, we will annuitize your contract under the Life Annuity with 10 Years of Annuity Payments Guaranteed Annuity Option. However, if we do, we will adjust your Annuity Payment or the Annuity Option, if necessary, so your aggregate Annuity Payments will not be less than what you would have received under the Enhanced GWB rider. DESCRIPTION OF THE GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT I The GWB I rider is the same as the Enhanced GWB rider described above with the following differences: (1) there is no favorable treatment of required minimum distributions; (2) the GWB I rider charge continues even if your Benefit Base equals zero; (3) you may only elect the Optional Reset once every five Contract Years instead of every Contract Year; (4) the GWB I rider charge is 0.50% and the maximum GWB I rider charge upon an Optional Reset is 0.95%; (5) you do not have the ability to cancel the rider following your fifth contract anniversary; and (6) we include withdrawal charges for purposes of determining whether your withdrawals have exceeded your Annual Benefit Payment. By endorsement, the GWB I rider has been enhanced so that items (1) and (2) above no longer apply and the interval between Optional Resets in item (3) has been decreased to every three Contract Years. You may now elect an Optional Reset under the GWB I starting with the third contract anniversary (as long as it is prior to the Owner's 86th birthday), and you may elect an Optional Reset at any subsequent contract anniversary prior to the Owner's 86th birthday, as long as it has been at least three years since the last Optional Reset. CURRENT RESTRICTIONS ON SUBSEQUENT PURCHASE PAYMENTS. Subsequent Purchase Payments under the GWB I rider are restricted as described in "Purchase - Restrictions on Subsequent Purchase Payments for GMIB I, GMIB Plus I, GWB I, Enhanced GWB, Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I, and GMAB." GUARANTEED MINIMUM ACCUMULATION BENEFIT The GMAB guarantees that your Account Value will not be less than a minimum amount at the end of a specified number of years (the "Rider Maturity Date"). If your Account Value is less than the minimum guaranteed amount at the Rider Maturity Date, we will apply an additional amount to increase your Account Value so that it is equal to the guaranteed amount. If you elected the GMAB rider, we required you to allocate your Purchase Payments and all of your Account Value to one of three Investment Portfolios --- (see the "Original Investment Portfolios" in the table below). You were also permitted to allocate Purchase Payments to the EDCA program, provided that your destination Investment Portfolio was the Investment Portfolio that you chose when you elected the rider. No transfers are permitted while this rider is in effect. The Investment Portfolio that you chose at the time you elected the GMAB determines the percentage of Purchase Payments that equals the guaranteed amount. The original Investment Portfolios available at the time you chose the GMAB rider, the percentage of Purchase Payments that determined the guaranteed amount, and the number of years to the Rider Maturity Date for each, are: [Download Table] Guaranteed Amount Years to Original (% of Purchase Rider Investment Portfolio Payments) Maturity Date ---------------------- ---------------- -------------- MetLife Defensive Strategy Portfolio(1) 130% 10 years MetLife Moderate Strategy Portfolio(2) 120% 10 years MetLife Balanced Strategy Portfolio(3) 110% 10 years (1) Effective as of April 28, 2014, the MetLife Defensive Strategy Portfolio of Met Investors Series Trust merged into the MetLife Asset Allocation 40 Portfolio of Metropolitan Series Fund. (2) Effective as of April 28, 2014, the MetLife Moderate Strategy Portfolio of Met Investors Series Trust merged into the MetLife Asset Allocation 40 Portfolio of Metropolitan Series Fund. (3) Effective as of April 28, 2014, the MetLife Balanced Strategy Portfolio of Met Investors Series Trust merged into the MetLife Asset Allocation 60 Portfolio of Metropolitan Series Fund. The Investment Portfolio mergers that occurred on April 28, 2014 did not affect the Guaranteed Amount under the GMAB. 70
N-475th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 75th
After April 28, 2014, contract owners who originally elected the MetLife Moderate Strategy Portfolio of Met Investors Series Trust will be permitted to make a one-time transfer of their entire Account Value from the MetLife Asset Allocation 40 Portfolio of Metropolitan Series Fund to the American Funds (Reg. TM) Moderate Allocation Portfolio of Met Investors Series Trust. Eligible contract owners will receive a communication from us describing how they can elect this one-time transfer. The transfer must be requested during the 90 day period following the date of the communication. If you do not receive this communication, please contact the Annuity Service Center. For more information about the Investment Portfolios, please see the prospectuses for the Investment Portfolios and the "Investment Portfolio Expenses" section and Appendix B of this prospectus. This benefit is intended to protect you against poor investment performance during the Accumulation Phase of your contract. You may not have this benefit and a GMIB or GWB rider or the Enhanced Death Benefit rider in effect at the same time. BENEFIT DESCRIPTION. The GMAB rider guarantees that at the Rider Maturity Date, your Account Value will at least be equal to a percentage of the Purchase Payments you made during the first 120 days that you held the contract (the "GMAB Eligibility Period"), less reductions for any withdrawals (and related withdrawal charges) that you made at any time before the Rider Maturity Date. The percentage of Purchase Payments made that determines the guaranteed amount range from 110% to 130%, depending on the Investment Portfolio you selected. This guaranteed amount is the "GUARANTEED ACCUMULATION AMOUNT." The Guaranteed Accumulation Amount is used only to determine the amount of any benefit payable under the GMAB feature and the amount of the annual charge for the GMAB. There is a maximum Guaranteed Accumulation Amount for your contract that is shown on your contract schedule page (currently $5 million). Purchase Payments made after this maximum Guaranteed Accumulation Amount is reached will not increase the Guaranteed Accumulation Amount above the maximum. However, if you make a withdrawal of Account Value during the GMAB Eligibility Period that reduces the Guaranteed Accumulation Amount below the maximum, then Purchase Payments you make AFTER the withdrawal, and during the GMAB Eligibility Period, will increase the Guaranteed Accumulation Amount until it reaches the maximum. Only Purchase Payments made during the first 120 days that you hold the contract are taken into consideration in determining the Guaranteed Accumulation Amount. If you anticipate making Purchase Payments after 120 days, you should understand that such payments will not increase the Guaranteed Accumulation Amount. Purchase Payments made after 120 days are added to your Account Value and impact whether or not a benefit is due under the GMAB feature at the Rider Maturity Date. On your contract's issue date, the Guaranteed Accumulation Amount is equal to a percentage of your initial Purchase Payment. Subsequent Purchase Payments made during the GMAB Eligibility Period increase the Guaranteed Accumulation Amount by the percentage amount of the Purchase Payment (subject to the limit described above) depending on which Investment Portfolio you selected at the time you elected the GMAB. When you make a withdrawal from the contract, the Guaranteed Accumulation Amount is reduced in the same proportion that the amount of the withdrawal (including any related withdrawal charge) bears to the total Account Value. EXAMPLE: Assume your Account Value is $100,000 and your Guaranteed Accumulation Amount is $120,000, prior to making a $10,000 withdrawal from the contract. The withdrawal amount is 10% of the Account Value. Therefore, after the withdrawal, your Account Value would be $90,000 and your Guaranteed Accumulation Amount would be $108,000 (90% of $120,000). Purchase Payment Credits are not considered to be Purchase Payments under the GMAB rider and are not part of the Guaranteed Accumulation Amount. The Guaranteed Accumulation Amount does not represent an amount of money available for withdrawal and is not used to calculate any benefits under the contract prior to the Rider Maturity Date. At the Rider Maturity Date, after deduction of the annual charge for the GMAB rider, we will compare your contract's Account Value to its Guaranteed Accumulation Amount. If the Account Value is less than the Guaranteed Accumulation Amount, we will contribute to your Account Value the amount needed to make it equal the Guaranteed Accumulation Amount. (This added amount is the "Guaranteed Accumulation Payment.") The Guaranteed Accumulation Payment is allocated entirely to the 71
N-476th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 76th
Investment Portfolio you have selected (no portion of the Guaranteed Accumulation Payment is allocated to the EDCA account). If your Account Value is greater than or equal to the Guaranteed Accumulation Amount at the Rider Maturity Date, then no Guaranteed Accumulation Payment will be paid into your Account Value. The GMAB rider terminates at the Rider Maturity Date. We will not deduct the GMAB rider charge after that date, and the related investment requirements and restrictions will no longer apply. If your Account Value is reduced to zero for any reason other than a full withdrawal of the Account Value or application of the entire Account Value to an Annuity Option, but your contract has a positive Guaranteed Accumulation Amount remaining, the contract and the GMAB rider will remain in force. No charge for the GMAB rider will be deducted or accrue while there is insufficient Account Value to cover the deductions for the charge. At the Rider Maturity Date, the Guaranteed Accumulation Payment will be paid into the Account Value. Purchase Payments made after the 120 day GMAB Eligibility Period may have a significant impact on whether or not a Guaranteed Accumulation Payment is due at the Rider Maturity Date. Even if Purchase Payments made during the 120 day GMAB Eligibility Period lose significant value, if the Account Value, which includes all Purchase Payments, is equal to or greater than the Guaranteed --- Accumulation Amount, which is a percentage of your Purchase Payments made during the 120 day period, then no Guaranteed Accumulation Payment is made. Therefore, the GMAB rider may not be appropriate for you if you intend to make additional Purchase Payments after the GMAB Eligibility Period. EXAMPLE: Assume that you made one $10,000 Purchase Payment during the 120 day GMAB Eligibility Period and you selected the MetLife Balanced Strategy Porfolio. Therefore, the Guaranteed Accumulation Amount is $11,000 (110% of your $10,000 Purchase Payment). Assume that at the Rider Maturity Date, your Account Value is $0. The Guaranteed Accumulation Payment is $11,000 ($11,000 - $0 = $11,000). In contrast, assume that you made one $10,000 Purchase Payment during the 120 day GMAB Eligibility Period and you selected the MetLife Balanced Strategy Porfolio. Therefore, the Guaranteed Accumulation Amount is $11,000. Also assume that on the day before the Rider Maturity Date your Account Value is $0. Assume that you decide to make one Purchase Payment on the day before the Rider Maturity Date of $11,000. At the Rider Maturity Date, assume there has not been any positive or negative investment experience for the one day between your Purchase Payment and the Rider Maturity Date. Consequently, your Account Value is $11,000. We would not pay a Guaranteed Accumulation Payment because the Account Value of $11,000 is equal to the Guaranteed Accumulation Amount of $11,000 ($11,000 - $11,000 = $0). CURRENT RESTRICTIONS ON SUBSEQUENT PURCHASE PAYMENTS. Subsequent Purchase Payments under the GMAB rider are restricted as described in "Purchase - Restrictions on Subsequent Purchase Payments for GMIB I, GMIB Plus I, GWB I, Enhanced GWB, Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I, and GMAB." RIDER TERMINATION. The GMAB rider will terminate at the earliest of: (1) the Rider Maturity Date; (2) the date you surrender the contract; (3) the date you cancel the GMAB rider, as described below; (4) the date you apply all of your Account Value to an Annuity Option; and (5) the date of death of the Owner or Joint Owner (or Annuitant if the Owner is a non-natural person), unless the Beneficiary is the spouse of the Owner and elects to continue the contract under the spousal continuation provisions of the contract. Once the rider is terminated, the GMAB rider charge will no longer be deducted and the related investment requirements and limitations will no longer apply. If the rider is terminated before the Rider Maturity Date, the Guaranteed Accumulation Payment will not be paid. CANCELLATION. You have a one-time right to cancel this optional benefit to take effect on your fifth contract anniversary. We must receive your request in writing within the 90-day period after your fifth contract anniversary. Such cancellation will take effect upon our receipt of your request. Once you have cancelled the GMAB rider, you will no longer be eligible to receive the Guaranteed Accumulation Payment or be bound by the investment requirements and restrictions, and we will no longer deduct the charge for this rider. GMAB AND DECEDENT CONTRACTS. If you are purchasing this contract with a nontaxable transfer of the death benefit proceeds of any annuity contract or IRA (or any other tax-qualified arrangement) of which you were the Beneficiary 72
N-477th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 77th
and you are "stretching" the distributions under the IRS required distribution rules, you may not purchase the GMAB rider. 8. PERFORMANCE We periodically advertise subaccount performance relating to the Investment Portfolios. We will calculate performance by determining the percentage change in the value of an Accumulation Unit by dividing the increase (decrease) for that unit by the value of the Accumulation Unit at the beginning of the period. This performance number reflects the deduction of the Separate Account product charges (including certain death benefit rider charges) and the Investment Portfolio expenses. It does not reflect the deduction of any applicable account fee, withdrawal charge, or applicable optional rider charges. The deduction of these charges would reduce the percentage increase or make greater any percentage decrease. Any advertisement will also include total return figures which reflect the deduction of the Separate Account product charges (including certain death benefit rider charges), account fee, withdrawal charges, applicable optional rider charges, and the Investment Portfolio expenses. For periods starting prior to the date the contract was first offered, the performance will be based on the historical performance of the corresponding Investment Portfolios for the periods commencing from the date on which the particular Investment Portfolio was made available through the Separate Account. In addition, the performance for the Investment Portfolios may be shown for the period commencing from the inception date of the Investment Portfolios. These figures should not be interpreted to reflect actual historical performance of the Separate Account. We may, from time to time, include in our advertising and sales materials performance information for funds or investment accounts related to the Investment Portfolios and/or their investment advisers or subadvisers. Such related performance information also may reflect the deduction of certain contract charges. We may also include in our advertising and sales materials tax deferred compounding charts and other hypothetical illustrations, which may include comparisons of currently taxable and tax deferred investment programs, based on selected tax brackets. We may advertise the living benefit and death benefit riders using illustrations showing how the benefit works with historical performance of specific Investment Portfolios or with a hypothetical rate of return (which rate will not exceed 12%) or a combination of historical and hypothetical returns. These illustrations will reflect the deduction of all applicable charges including the portfolio expenses of the underlying Investment Portfolios. You should know that for any performance we illustrate, future performance will vary and results shown are not necessarily representative of future results. 9. DEATH BENEFIT UPON YOUR DEATH If you die during the Accumulation Phase, we will pay a death benefit to your Beneficiary (or Beneficiaries). The Principal Protection is the standard death benefit for your contract. At the time you purchase the contract, depending on availability in your state, you can select the optional Annual Step-Up Death Benefit rider, the Compounded-Plus Death Benefit rider, or the Enhanced Death Benefit I rider. You can also select the Additional Death Benefit - Earnings Preservation Benefit. If you are 80 years old or older at the effective date of your contract, you are not eligible to select the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit rider, the Compounded-Plus Death Benefit rider or the Earnings Preservation Benefit. If you are 76 years old or older at the effective date of your contract, you are not eligible to select the Enhanced Death Benefit I rider. The death benefits are described below. There may be versions of each rider that vary by issue date and state availability. In addition, a version of a rider may become available (or unavailable) in different states at different times. Please check with your registered representative regarding which version(s) are available in your state. If you have already been issued a contract, please check your contract and riders for the specific provisions applicable to you. The death benefit is determined as of the end of the Business Day on which we receive both due proof of death and an election for the payment method. Where there are multiple Beneficiaries, the death benefit will only be determined as of the time the first Beneficiary submits the necessary documentation in Good Order. If the death benefit payable is an amount that exceeds the Account Value on the day it is determined, we will apply to the contract an amount equal to the difference between the death benefit payable and the Account Value, in accordance with the current allocation of the Account Value. This 73
N-478th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 78th
death benefit amount remains in the Investment Portfolios until each of the other Beneficiaries submits the necessary documentation in Good Order to claim his/her death benefit. (See "General Death Benefit Provisions" below.) Any death benefit amounts held in the Investment Portfolios on behalf of the remaining Beneficiaries are subject to investment risk. There is no additional death benefit guarantee. If you have a Joint Owner, the death benefit will be paid when the first Owner dies. Upon the death of either Owner, the surviving Joint Owner will be the primary Beneficiary. Any other Beneficiary designation will be treated as a contingent Beneficiary, unless instructed otherwise. If a non-natural person owns the contract, the Annuitant will be deemed to be the Owner in determining the death benefit. If there are Joint Owners, the age of the oldest Owner will be used to determine the death benefit amount. If we are presented with notification of your death before any requested transaction is completed (including transactions under a dollar cost averaging program, the Automatic Rebalancing Program, the Systematic Withdrawal Program, or the Automated Required Minimum Distribution Program), we will cancel the request. As described above, the death benefit will be determined when we receive both due proof of death and an election for the payment method. For purposes of calculating the death benefits, Purchase Payments do not include Purchase Payment Credits. STANDARD DEATH BENEFIT - PRINCIPAL PROTECTION The death benefit will be the greater of: (1) the Account Value; or (2) total Purchase Payments, reduced proportionately by the percentage reduction in Account Value attributable to each partial withdrawal (including any applicable withdrawal charge). If the Owner is a natural person and the Owner is changed to someone other than a spouse, the death benefit amount will be determined as defined above; however, subsection (2) will be changed to provide as follows: "the Account Value as of the effective date of the change of Owner, increased by Purchase Payments received after the date of the change of Owner, reduced proportionately by the percentage reduction in Account Value attributable to each partial withdrawal (including any applicable withdrawal charge) made after such date." In the event that a Beneficiary who is the spouse of the Owner elects to continue the contract in his or her name after the Owner dies, the death benefit amount will be determined in accordance with (1) or (2) above. (See Appendix F for examples of the Principal Protection death benefit rider.) OPTIONAL DEATH BENEFIT - ANNUAL STEP-UP You may select the Annual Step-Up death benefit rider if you are age 79 or younger at the effective date of your contract. If you select the Annual Step-Up death benefit rider, the death benefit will be the greatest of: (1) the Account Value; or (2) total Purchase Payments, reduced proportionately by the percentage reduction in Account Value attributable to each partial withdrawal (including any applicable withdrawal charge); or (3) the highest anniversary value, as defined below. On the date we issue your contract, the highest anniversary value is equal to your initial Purchase Payment. Thereafter, the highest anniversary value (as recalculated) will be increased by subsequent Purchase Payments and reduced proportionately by the percentage reduction in Account Value attributable to each subsequent partial withdrawal (including any applicable withdrawal charge). On each contract anniversary prior to your 81st birthday, the highest anniversary value will be recalculated and set equal to the greater of the highest anniversary value before the recalculation or the Account Value on the date of the recalculation. If the Owner is a natural person and the Owner is changed to someone other than a spouse, the death benefit is equal to the greatest of (1), (2) or (3); however, for purposes of calculating (2) and (3) above: o Subsection (2) is changed to provide: "The Account Value as of the effective date of the change of Owner, increased by Purchase Payments received after the date of change of Owner, and reduced proportionately by the percentage reduction in Account Value (including any applicable withdrawal charge) attributable to each partial withdrawal made after such date." 74
N-479th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 79th
o For subsection (3), the highest anniversary value will be recalculated to equal your Account Value as of the effective date of the change of Owner. Thereafter, the highest anniversary value (as recalculated) will be increased by subsequent Purchase Payments and reduced proportionately by the percentage reduction in Account Value attributable to each subsequent partial withdrawal (including any applicable withdrawal charge). On each contract anniversary prior to the Owner's 81st birthday, the highest anniversary value will be recalculated and set equal to the greater of the highest anniversary value before the recalculation or the Account Value on the date of the recalculation. In the event that a Beneficiary who is the spouse of the Owner elects to continue the contract in his or her name after the Owner dies, the death benefit is equal to the greatest of (1), (2) or (3). (See Appendix F for examples of the Annual Step-Up death benefit rider.) OPTIONAL DEATH BENEFIT - ENHANCED DEATH BENEFIT I In states where approved, you may select the Enhanced Death Benefit I rider (subject to investment allocation restrictions) if you are age 75 or younger at the effective date of your contract and you either (a) have not elected any living benefit rider or (b) have elected the GMIB Plus II rider. The Enhanced Death Benefit I (EDB I) rider is referred to in your contract and rider as the "Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit" or GMDB. If you select the Enhanced Death Benefit I rider, the amount of the death benefit will be the greater of: (1) the Account Value; or (2) the Death Benefit Base. The DEATH BENEFIT BASE provides protection against adverse investment experience. It guarantees that the death benefit will not be less than the greater of: (1) the highest Account Value on any anniversary (adjusted for withdrawals), or (2) the amount of your initial investment (adjusted for withdrawals), accumulated at 5% per year. The Death Benefit Base is the greater of (a) or (b) below: (a) Highest Anniversary Value: On the date we issue your contract, the Highest Anniversary Value is equal to your initial Purchase Payment. Thereafter, the Highest Anniversary Value will be increased by subsequent Purchase Payments and reduced proportionately by the percentage reduction in Account Value attributable to each partial withdrawal. The percentage reduction in Account Value is the dollar amount of the withdrawal (including any applicable withdrawal charge) divided by the Account Value immediately preceding such withdrawal. On each contract anniversary prior to your 81st birthday, the Highest Anniversary Value will be recalculated to equal the greater of the Highest Anniversary Value before the recalculation or the Account Value on the date of the recalculation. (b) Annual Increase Amount: On the date we issue your contract, the Annual Increase Amount is equal to your initial Purchase Payment. All Purchase Payments received within 120 days of the date we issue your contract will be treated as part of the initial Purchase Payment for this purpose. Thereafter, the Annual Increase Amount is equal to (i) less (ii), where: (i) is Purchase Payments accumulated at the annual increase rate from the date the Purchase Payment is made. The annual increase rate is 5% per year through the contract anniversary immediately prior to your 91st birthday, and 0% per year thereafter; and (ii) is withdrawal adjustments accumulated at the annual increase rate. The annual increase rate is 5% per year through the contract anniversary immediately prior to your 91st birthday, and 0% per year thereafter. The withdrawal adjustment for any partial withdrawal in a Contract Year is equal to the Annual Increase Amount immediately prior to the withdrawal multiplied by the percentage reduction in Account Value attributable to that partial withdrawal (including any applicable withdrawal charge). However, (1) if the partial withdrawal occurs before the contract anniversary immediately prior to your 91st birthday; (2) if all partial withdrawals in a Contract Year are payable to the Owner (or the Annuitant if the Owner is a non-natural person) or other payees that we agree to; and (3) if total partial withdrawals in a Contract Year are not greater than 5% of the Annual Increase Amount on the previous contract anniversary, the total withdrawal adjustments for that 75
N-480th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 80th
Contract Year will be set equal to the dollar amount of total partial withdrawals in that Contract Year and will be treated as a single withdrawal at the end of that Contract Year. The Highest Anniversary Value does not change after the contract anniversary immediately preceding the Owner's 81st birthday, except that it is increased for each subsequent Purchase Payment and reduced proportionately by the percentage reduction in Account Value attributable to each subsequent withdrawal (including any applicable withdrawal charge). The Annual Increase Amount does not change after the contract anniversary immediately preceding the Owner's 91st birthday, except that it is increased for each subsequent Purchase Payment and reduced by the withdrawal adjustments described in (b)(ii) above. For contracts issued based on applications and necessary information received ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- in Good Order at our Annuity Service Center on or before May 1, 2009, we -------------------------------------------------------------------- offered an earlier version of the Enhanced Death Benefit I rider. The earlier version is the same as the Enhanced Death Benefit I rider described above except that: (a) the annual increase rate for the Annual Increase Amount and for withdrawal adjustments is 6%; (b) different investment allocation restrictions apply (see "Purchase - Investment Allocation Restrictions for Certain Riders"); and (c) different rider charges apply (see "Expenses - Death Benefit Rider Charges"). TAXES. Withdrawals of taxable amounts will be subject to ordinary income tax and, if made prior to age 59 1/2, a 10% federal tax penalty may apply. OPTIONAL STEP-UP. On each contract anniversary on or after the first anniversary following the effective date of the rider, you may elect an Optional Step-Up provided that: (1) the Account Value exceeds the Annual Increase Amount immediately before the Optional Step-Up; and (2) the Owner (or older Joint Owner, or Annuitant if the contract is owned by a non-natural person) is not older than age 80 on the date of the Optional Step-Up. If your contract has both the GMIB Plus II rider and the Enhanced Death Benefit I rider, and you would like to elect an Optional Step-Up, you must elect an Optional Step-Up for both riders. You may not elect an Optional Step-Up for only one of the two riders. Upon the Optional Step-Up, we may reset the rider charge, as described below, on one or both riders. We must receive your request to exercise the Optional Step-Up in writing, at our Annuity Service Center, or any other method acceptable to us. We must receive your request prior to the contract anniversary for an Optional Step-Up to occur on that contract anniversary. The Optional Step-Up: (a) Resets the Annual Increase Amount to the Account Value on the contract anniversary following the receipt of an Optional Step-Up election; and (b) May reset the Enhanced Death Benefit I rider charge to a rate we shall determine that does not exceed the maximum Optional Step-Up charge (1.50%), provided that this rate will not exceed the rate that would be applicable to the same rider available for new contract purchases at the time of the step-up. On the date of the Optional Step-Up, the Account Value on that day will be treated as a single Purchase Payment received on the date of the step-up for purposes of determining the Annual Increase Amount after the step-up. All Purchase Payments and withdrawal adjustments previously used to calculate the Annual Increase Amount will be set equal to zero on the date of the Optional Step-Up. When you elect the Optional Step-Up, provided the above requirements are met, you may elect either: 1) a one time Optional Step-Up at any contract anniversary; or 2) Optional Step-Ups to occur under the Automatic Annual Step-Up (on any contract anniversary while this election is in effect, the Annual Increase Amount will reset to the Account Value automatically). In the event that the charge applicable to contract purchases at the time of the step-up is higher than your current Enhanced Death Benefit I rider charge, you will be notified in writing a minimum of 30 days in advance of the applicable contract anniversary and be informed that you may choose to decline the Automatic Annual Step-Up. If you decline the Automatic Annual Step-Up, you must notify us in accordance with our Administrative Procedures (currently we require you to submit your request in writing to our Annuity Service Center no less than seven calendar days prior to the applicable contract anniversary). Once you notify us of your decision to decline the Automatic Annual Step-Up, you will no longer be eligible for future Automatic Annual Step-Ups until you notify us in writing to our Annuity Service Center that you wish to reinstate the 76
N-481st Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 81st
Automatic Annual Step-Ups. This reinstatement will take effect at the next contract anniversary after we receive your request for reinstatement. If you have also elected the GMIB Plus II rider and you elect Optional Step-Ups to occur under the Automatic Annual Step-up, it will remain in effect through the seventh contract anniversary following the date you make the election. You may make a new election if you want Automatic Annual Step-Ups to continue after the seventh contract anniversary. You may discontinue Automatic Annual Step-Ups at any time by notifying us in writing, at our Annuity Service Center (or by any other method acceptable to us), at least 30 days prior to the contract anniversary following the date you make this election. If you discontinue Automatic Annual Step-Ups, the Enhanced Death Benefit I rider (and the rider charge) will continue, and you may choose to elect a one time Optional Step-Up or reinstate Automatic Annual Step-Ups as described above. INVESTMENT ALLOCATION RESTRICTIONS. If you select the Enhanced Death Benefit I rider, there are certain investment allocation restrictions. (See "Purchase - Investment Allocation and Other Purchase Payment Restrictions for GMIB Plus II, Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II, and EDB I.") If you elect the Enhanced Death Benefit I, you may not participate in the Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) program. However, you may elect to participate in the Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging (EDCA) program, provided that your destination Investment Portfolios are selected in accordance with the investment allocation restrictions. CURRENT RESTRICTIONS ON SUBSEQUENT PURCHASE PAYMENTS. Subsequent Purchase Payments under the Enhanced Death Benefit I rider are restricted as described in "Purchase - Restrictions on Subsequent Purchase Payments - GMIB Plus II, Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II, and EDB I." TERMINATION OF THE ENHANCED DEATH BENEFIT I. The Enhanced Death Benefit I will terminate upon the earliest of: a) The date you make a total withdrawal of your Account Value (a pro rata portion of the rider charge will be assessed); b) The date there are insufficient funds to deduct the Enhanced Death Benefit I rider charge from your Account Value; c) The date you elect to receive Annuity Payments under the contract (a pro rata portion of the rider charge will be assessed); d) A change of the Owner or Joint Owner (or Annuitant if the Owner is a non-natural person), subject to our administrative procedures (a pro rata portion of the rider charge will be assessed); e) The date you assign your contract (a pro rata portion of the rider charge will be assessed); f) The date the death benefit amount is determined (excluding the determination of the death benefit amount under the spousal continuation option); or g) Termination of the contract to which this rider is attached. Under our current administrative procedures, we will waive the termination of the Enhanced Death Benefit I if you assign a portion of the contract under the following limited circumstances: if the assignment is solely for your benefit on account of your direct transfer of Account Value under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code to fund premiums for a long term care insurance policy or Purchase Payments for an annuity contract issued by an insurance company which is not our affiliate and which is licensed to conduct business in any state. All such direct transfers are subject to any applicable withdrawal charges. THE EDB I RIDER AND ANNUITIZATION. Since the Annuity Date at the time you purchase the contract is the later of age 90 of the Annuitant or 10 years from contract issue, you must make an election if you would like to extend your Annuity Date to the latest date permitted (subject to restrictions that may apply in your state, restrictions imposed by your selling firm, and our current established administrative procedures). If you elect to extend your Annuity Date to the latest date permitted, and that date is reached, your contract must be annuitized (see "Annuity Payments (The Income Phase)"), or you must make a complete withdrawal of your Account Value. Generally, once your contract is annuitized, you are ineligible to receive the death benefit selected. However, for contracts purchased with an EDB I rider, if you annuitize at the latest date permitted, you must elect one of the following options: (1) Annuitize the Account Value under the contract's annuity provisions; or (2) Elect to receive annuity payments determined by applying the Death Benefit Base to the greater of the guaranteed Annuity Option rates for this contract at 77
N-482nd Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 82nd
the time of purchase or the current Annuity Option rates applicable to this class of contract. If you die before the complete return of the Death Benefit Base, your Beneficiary will receive a lump sum equal to the death benefit determined at annuitization less Annuity Payments already paid to the Owner. If you fail to select one of the above options, we will annuitize your contract under the Life Annuity with 10 Years of Annuity Payments Guaranteed Annuity Option, unless the payment under option (2) above is greater, in which case we will apply option (2) to your contract. (See Appendix F for examples of the Enhanced Death Benefit I.) OPTIONAL DEATH BENEFIT - COMPOUNDED-PLUS In states where the Compounded-Plus death benefit rider has been approved and the Enhanced Death Benefit I has not been approved, you may select the Compounded-Plus death benefit rider if you are age 79 or younger at the effective date of your contract. If you select the Compounded-Plus death benefit rider, the death benefit will be the greater of: (1) the Account Value; or (2) the greater of (a) or (b) below: (a) Highest Anniversary Value: On the date we issue your contract, the highest anniversary value is equal to your initial Purchase Payment. Thereafter, the highest anniversary value (as recalculated) will be increased by subsequent Purchase Payments and reduced proportionately by the percentage reduction in Account Value attributable to each subsequent partial withdrawal (including any applicable withdrawal charge). On each contract anniversary prior to your 81st birthday, the highest anniversary value will be recalculated and set equal to the greater of the highest anniversary value before the recalculation or the Account Value on the date of the recalculation. (b) Annual Increase Amount: On the date we issue your contract, the annual increase amount is equal to your initial Purchase Payment. Thereafter, the annual increase amount is equal to (i) less (ii), where: (i) is Purchase Payments accumulated at the annual increase rate. The annual increase rate is 5% per year through the contract anniversary immediately prior to your 81st birthday, and 0% per year thereafter; and (ii) is withdrawal adjustments accumulated at the annual increase rate. A withdrawal adjustment is equal to the value of the annual increase amount immediately prior to a withdrawal multiplied by the percentage reduction in Account Value attributable to that partial withdrawal (including any applicable withdrawal charge). If the Owner is a natural person and the Owner is changed to someone other than a spouse, the death benefit is equal to the greatest of (1) or (2); however, for purposes of calculating the enhanced death benefit under (2) above: (a) for the highest anniversary value, the highest anniversary value will be recalculated to equal your Account Value as of the effective date of the Owner change; and (b) for the annual increase amount, the current annual increase amount will be reset to equal your Account Value as of the effective date of the Owner change. For purposes of the calculation of the annual increase amount thereafter, the Account Value on the effective date of the Owner change will be treated as the initial Purchase Payment and Purchase Payments received and partial withdrawals taken prior to the change of Owner will not be taken into account. In the event that a Beneficiary who is the spouse of the Owner elects to continue the contract in his or her name after the Owner dies, the death benefit amount is equal to the greater of (1) or (2). (See Appendix F for examples of the Compounded-Plus death benefit rider.) ADDITIONAL DEATH BENEFIT - EARNINGS PRESERVATION BENEFIT You may select the Additional Death Benefit - Earnings Preservation Benefit if you are age 79 or younger at the effective date of your contract. The Earnings Preservation 78
N-483rd Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 83rd
Benefit pays an additional death benefit that is intended to help pay part of the income taxes due at the time of death of the Owner or Joint Owner. In certain situations, this benefit may not be available for qualified plans (check with your registered representative for details). Before the contract anniversary immediately prior to your 81st birthday, the additional death benefit is equal to the "benefit percentage" (determined in accordance with the table below) times the result of (a) - (b), where: (a) is the death benefit under your contract; and (b) is total Purchase Payments not withdrawn. For purposes of calculating this value, partial withdrawals are first applied against earnings in the contract, and then against Purchase Payments not withdrawn. On or after the contract anniversary immediately prior to your 81st birthday, the additional death benefit is equal to the "benefit percentage" (determined in accordance with the table below) times the result of (a) - (b), where: (a) is the death benefit on the contract anniversary immediately prior to your 81st birthday, increased by subsequent Purchase Payments and reduced proportionately by the percentage reduction in Account Value attributable to each subsequent partial withdrawal (including any applicable withdrawal charge); and (b) is total Purchase Payments not withdrawn. For purposes of calculating this value, partial withdrawals are first applied against earnings in the contract, and then against Purchase Payments not withdrawn. [Download Table] Benefit Issue Age Percentage ---------------------- Ages 69 or younger 40% Ages 70-79 25% Ages 80 and above 0% If the Owner is a natural person and the Owner is changed to someone other than a spouse, the additional death benefit is as defined above; however, for the purposes of calculating subsection (b) above "total Purchase Payments not withdrawn" will be reset to equal the Account Value as of the effective date of the Owner change, and Purchase Payments received and partial withdrawals taken prior to the change of Owner will not be taken into account. In the event that a Beneficiary who is the spouse of the Owner elects to continue the contract in his or her name after the Owner dies, the additional death benefit will be determined and payable upon receipt of due proof of death of the first spousal Beneficiary. Alternatively, the spousal Beneficiary may elect to have the additional death benefit determined and added to the Account Value upon the election, in which case the additional death benefit rider will terminate (and the corresponding death benefit rider charge will also terminate). GENERAL DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS The death benefit amount remains in the Separate Account until distribution begins. From the time the death benefit is determined until complete distribution is made, any amount in the Separate Account will continue to be subject to investment risk. This risk is borne by the Beneficiary. Please check with your registered representative regarding the availability of the following in your state. If the Beneficiary under a Qualified Contract is the Annuitant's spouse, the tax law generally allows distributions to begin by the year in which the Annuitant would have reached 70 1/2 (which may be more or less than five years after the Annuitant's death). A Beneficiary must elect the death benefit to be paid under one of the payment options (unless the Owner has previously made the election). The entire death benefit must be paid within five years of the date of death unless the Beneficiary elects to have the death benefit payable under an Annuity Option. The death benefit payable under an Annuity Option must be paid over the Beneficiary's lifetime or for a period not extending beyond the Beneficiary's life expectancy. For Non-Qualified Contracts, payment must begin within one year of the date of death. For Qualified Contracts, payment must begin no later than the end of the calendar year immediately following the year of death. We may also offer a payment option, for both Non-Qualified Contracts and certain Qualified Contracts, under which your Beneficiary may receive payments, over a period not extending beyond his or her life expectancy, under a method of distribution similar to the distribution of required minimum distributions from Individual Retirement Accounts. If this option is elected, we will issue a new contract to your Beneficiary in order to facilitate the distribution of payments. Your Beneficiary may choose any optional death benefit available under the new contract. Upon the death of your Beneficiary, the death benefit would be required to be distributed to your Beneficiary's Beneficiary at least as rapidly as under the method of 79
N-484th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 84th
distribution in effect at the time of your Beneficiary's death. (See "Federal Income Tax Status.") To the extent permitted under the tax law, and in accordance with our procedures, your designated Beneficiary is permitted under our procedures to make additional Purchase Payments consisting of monies which are direct transfers (as permitted under tax law) from other Qualified Contracts or Non-Qualified Contracts, depending on which type of contract you own, held in the name of the decedent. Any such additional Purchase Payments would be subject to applicable withdrawal charges. Your Beneficiary is also permitted to choose some of the optional benefits available under the contract, but certain contract provisions or programs may not be available. If a lump sum payment is elected and all the necessary requirements are met, the payment will be made within 7 days. Payment to the Beneficiary under an Annuity Option may only be elected during the 60 day period beginning with the date we receive due proof of death. If the Owner or a Joint Owner, who is not the Annuitant, dies during the Income Phase, any remaining payments under the Annuity Option elected will continue at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the time of the Owner's death. Upon the death of the Owner or a Joint Owner during the Income Phase, the Beneficiary becomes the Owner. SPOUSAL CONTINUATION If the primary Beneficiary is the spouse of the Owner, upon the Owner's death, the Beneficiary may elect to continue the contract in his or her own name. Upon such election, the Account Value will be adjusted upward (but not downward) to an amount equal to the death benefit amount determined upon such election and receipt of due proof of death of the Owner. Any excess of the death benefit amount over the Account Value will be allocated to each applicable Investment Portfolio and/or the Fixed Account in the ratio that the Account Value in the Investment Portfolio and/or the Fixed Account bears to the total Account Value. The terms and conditions of the contract that applied prior to the Owner's death will continue to apply, with certain exceptions described in the contract. For purposes of the death benefit on the continued contract, the death benefit is calculated in the same manner as it was prior to continuation except that all values used to calculate the death benefit, which may include a highest anniversary value and/or an annual increase amount (depending on whether you elected an optional death benefit), are reset on the date the spouse continues the contract. If the contract includes both the GMIB Plus II and Enhanced Death Benefit I riders, the Annual Increase Amount for the GMIB Plus II rider is also reset on the date the spouse continues the contract. Spousal continuation will not satisfy minimum required distribution rules for Qualified Contracts other than IRAs (see "Federal Income Tax Status"). DEATH OF THE ANNUITANT If the Annuitant, not an Owner or Joint Owner, dies during the Accumulation Phase, you automatically become the Annuitant. You can select a new Annuitant if you do not want to be the Annuitant (subject to our then current underwriting standards). However, if the Owner is a non-natural person (for example, a trust), then the death of the primary Annuitant will be treated as the death of the Owner, and a new Annuitant may not be named. Upon the death of the Annuitant after Annuity Payments begin, the death benefit, if any, will be as provided for in the Annuity Option selected. Death benefits will be paid at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the Annuitant's death. CONTROLLED PAYOUT You may elect to have the death benefit proceeds paid to your Beneficiary in the form of Annuity Payments for life or over a period of time that does not exceed your Beneficiary's life expectancy. This election must be in writing in a form acceptable to us. You may revoke the election only in writing and only in a form acceptable to us. Upon your death, the Beneficiary cannot revoke or modify your election. The Controlled Payout is only available to Non-Qualified Contracts. 10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS INTRODUCTION The following information on taxes is a general discussion of the subject. It is not intended as tax advice. The Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and the provisions of the Code that govern the contract are complex and subject to change. The applicability of federal income tax rules may vary with your particular circumstances. This discussion does not include all the federal income tax rules that may affect you and your contract. Nor does this discussion address other federal tax consequences (such as estate and 80
N-485th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 85th
gift taxes, sales to foreign individuals or entities), or state or local tax consequences, which may affect your investment in the contract. As a result, you should always consult a tax adviser for complete information and advice applicable to your individual situation. You are responsible for determining whether your purchase of a contract, withdrawals, income payments and any other transactions under your contract satisfy applicable tax law. We are not responsible for determining if your employer's plan or arrangement satisfies the requirements of the Code and/or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). We do not expect to incur federal, state or local income taxes on the earnings or realized capital gains attributable to the Separate Account. However, if we do incur such taxes in the future, we reserve the right to charge amounts allocated to the Separate Account for these taxes. To the extent permitted under federal tax law, we may claim the benefit of the corporate dividends received deduction and of certain foreign tax credits attributable to taxes paid by certain of the Investment Portfolios to foreign jurisdictions. Any Code reference to "spouse" includes those persons who are married spouses under state law, regardless of sex. NON-QUALIFIED CONTRACTS A "Non-Qualified Contract" discussed here assumes the contract is an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, but the contract is not held in a tax qualified "plan" defined by the Code. Tax qualified plans include arrangements described in Code Sections 401(a), 401(k), 403(a), 403(b) or tax sheltered annuities (TSA), 408 or "IRAs" (including SEP and SIMPLE IRAs), 408A or "Roth IRAs" or 457(b) or governmental 457(b) plans. Contracts owned through such plans are referred to below as "Qualified Contracts." INVESTOR CONTROL In certain circumstances, Owners of variable annuity Non-Qualified Contracts have been considered to be the owners of the assets of the underlying Separate Account for federal income tax purposes due to their ability to exercise investment control over those assets. When this is the case, the contract Owners have been currently taxed on income and gains attributable to the variable account assets. There is little guidance in this area, and some features of the contract, such as the number of Investment Portfolios available and the flexibility of the contract Owner to allocate Purchase Payments and transfer amounts among the Investment Portfolios have not been addressed in public rulings. While we believe that the contract does not give the contract Owner investment control over Separate Account assets, we reserve the right to modify the contract as necessary to prevent a contract Owner from being treated as the owner of the Separate Account assets supporting the contract. ACCUMULATION Generally, an Owner of a Non-Qualified Contract is not taxed on increases in the value of the contract until there is a distribution from the contract, either as surrenders, partial withdrawals, or income payments. This deferral of taxation on accumulated value in the contract is limited to contracts owned by or held for the benefit of "natural persons." A contract will be treated as held by a natural person even if the nominal Owner is a trust or other entity which holds the contract as an agent for a natural person. In contrast, a contract owned by other than a "natural person," such as a corporation, partnership, trust, or other entity, will be taxed currently on the increase in accumulated value in the contract in the year earned. Note that in this regard, an employer which is the Owner of an annuity contract under a non-qualified deferred compensation arrangement for its employees would be considered a non-natural Owner and the annual increase in the Account Value would be subject to current income taxation. SURRENDERS OR WITHDRAWALS - EARLY DISTRIBUTION If you take a withdrawal from your contract, or surrender your contract prior to the date you commence taking annuity or "income" payments (the "Annuity Starting Date"), the amount you receive will be treated first as coming from earnings (and thus subject to income tax) and then from your Purchase Payments (which are not subject to income tax). If the accumulated value is less than your Purchase Payments upon surrender of your contract, you might be able to claim the loss on your federal income taxes as a miscellaneous itemized deduction. The portion of any withdrawal or distribution from an annuity contract that is subject to income tax will also be subject to a 10% federal income tax penalty for "early" distribution if such withdrawal or distribution is taken prior to you reaching age 59 1/2, unless the distribution was made: (a) on account of your death or disability, 81
N-486th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 86th
(b) as part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments payable for your life or joint lives of you and your designated Beneficiary, or (c) under certain immediate income annuities providing for substantially equal payments made at least annually. If you receive systematic payments that you intend to qualify for the "substantially equal periodic payments" exception noted above, any modifications (except due to death or disability) to your payment before age 59 1/2 or within five years after beginning these payments, whichever is later, will result in the retroactive imposition of the 10% federal income tax penalty with interest. Such modifications may include additional Purchase Payments or withdrawals (including tax-free transfers or rollovers of income payments) from the contract. If your contract has been purchased with an Optional Two Year Withdrawal Feature or is for a guaranteed period only (term certain) annuity, and is terminated as a result of the exercise of the withdrawal feature, the taxable portion of the payment will generally be the excess of the proceeds received over your remaining after-tax Purchase Payment. For Non-Qualified Contracts, amounts received under the exercise of a partial withdrawal may be fully includible in taxable income. The entire amount of the withdrawal could be treated as taxable income. Exercise of either withdrawal feature may adversely impact the amount of subsequent payments which can be treated as a nontaxable return of investment. TREATMENT OF SEPARATE ACCOUNT CHARGES It is possible that at some future date the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) may consider that contract charges attributable to certain guaranteed death benefits and certain living benefits are to be treated as distributions from the contract to pay for such non-annuity benefits. Currently, these charges are considered to be an intrinsic part of the contract and we do not report these as taxable income. However, if this treatment changes in the future, the charge could also be subject to a 10% federal income tax penalty as an early distribution, as described above. GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL BENEFITS If you have purchased the GWB I, Enhanced GWB or Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee, where otherwise made available, note the following: The tax treatment of withdrawals under such a benefit is uncertain. It is conceivable that the amount of potential gain could be determined based on the remaining amount guaranteed to be available for withdrawal at the time of the withdrawal if greater than the Account Value (prior to withdrawal charges). This could result in a greater amount of taxable income in certain cases. In general, at the present time, we intend to report such withdrawals using the Account Value rather than the remaining benefit to determine gain. However, in cases where the maximum permitted withdrawal in any year under any version of the GWB exceeds the Account Value, the portion of the withdrawal treated as taxable gain (not to exceed the amount of the withdrawal) should be measured as the difference between the maximum permitted withdrawal amount under the benefit and the remaining after-tax basis immediately preceding the withdrawal. Consult your tax adviser. In the event that the Account Value goes to zero, and either the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount is paid out in fixed installments or the Annual Benefit Payment is paid for life, we will treat such payments as income Annuity Payments under the tax law and allow recovery of any remaining basis ratably over the expected number of payments. We reserve the right to change our tax reporting practices where we determine that they are not in accordance with IRS guidance (whether formal or informal). AGGREGATION If you purchase two or more deferred annuity contracts from us (or our affiliates) during the same calendar year (after October 21, 1988), the law requires that all such contracts must be treated as a single contract for purposes of determining whether any payments not received as an annuity (e.g., withdrawals) will be includible in income. Aggregation could affect the amount of a withdrawal that is taxable and subject to the 10% federal income tax penalty described above. Since the IRS may require aggregation in other circumstances as well, you should consult a tax adviser if you are purchasing more than one annuity contract from the same insurance company in a single calendar year. Aggregation does not affect distributions paid in the form of an annuity (see "Taxation of Payments in Annuity Form" below). 82
N-487th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 87th
EXCHANGES/TRANSFERS The annuity contract may be exchanged in whole or in part for another annuity contract or a long-term care insurance policy. The exchange for another annuity contract may be a tax-free transaction provided that, among other prescribed IRS conditions, no amounts are distributed from either contract involved in the exchange for 180 days following the date of the exchange - other than Annuity Payments made for life, joint lives, or for a term of 10 years or more. Otherwise, a withdrawal or "deemed" distribution may be includible in your taxable income (plus a 10% federal income tax penalty) to the extent that the accumulated value of your annuity exceeds your investment in the contract (your "gain"). The opportunity to make partial annuity exchanges was provided by the IRS in 2011 and some ramifications of such an exchange remain unclear. If the annuity contract is exchanged in part for an additional annuity contract, a distribution from either contract may be taxable to the extent of the combined gain attributable to both contracts, or only to the extent of your gain in the contract from which the distribution is paid. It is not clear whether this guidance applies to a partial exchange involving long-term care contracts. Consult your tax adviser prior to a partial exchange. A transfer of ownership of the contract, or the designation of an Annuitant or other Beneficiary who is not also the contract Owner, may result in income or gift tax consequences to the contract Owner. You should consult your tax adviser if you are considering such a transfer or assignment. DEATH BENEFITS The death benefit is taxable to the recipient in the same manner as if paid to the contract Owner (under the rules for withdrawals or income payments, whichever is applicable). After your death, any death benefit determined under the contract must be distributed according to certain rules. The method of distribution that is required depends on whether you die before or after the Annuity Starting Date. If you die on or after the Annuity Starting Date, the remaining portion of the interest in the contract must be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of death. If you die before the Annuity Starting Date, the entire interest in the contract must be distributed within five (5) years after the date of death, or as periodic payments over a period not extending beyond the life or life expectancy of the designated Beneficiary (provided such payments begin within one year of your death). Your designated Beneficiary is the person to whom benefit rights under the contract pass by reason of death; the Beneficiary must be a natural person in order to elect a periodic payment option based on life expectancy or a period exceeding five years. Additionally, if the annuity is payable to (or for the benefit of) your surviving spouse, that portion of the contract may be continued with your spouse as the Owner. For contracts owned by a non-natural person, the required distribution rules apply upon the death of the Annuitant. If there is more than one Annuitant of a contract held by a non-natural person, then such required distributions will be triggered by the death of the first co-Annuitant. TAXATION OF PAYMENTS IN ANNUITY FORM When payments are received from the contract in the form of an annuity, normally the Annuity Payments are taxable as ordinary income to the extent that payments exceed the portion of the payment determined by applying the exclusion ratio to the entire payment. The exclusion ratio of a contract is determined at the time the contract's accumulated value is converted to an annuity form of distribution. Generally, the applicable exclusion ratio is your investment in the contract divided by the total payments you are expected to receive based on IRS rules which consider such factors, such as the form of annuity and mortality. The excludable portion of each Annuity Payment is the return of investment in the contract and it is excludable from your taxable income until your investment in the contract is fully recovered. We will make this calculation for you. However, it is possible that the IRS could conclude that the taxable portion of income payments under a Non-Qualified Contract is an amount greater - or less - than the taxable amount determined by us and reported by us to you and the IRS. Once you have recovered the investment in the contract, further Annuity Payments are fully taxable. If you die before your investment in the contract is fully recovered, the balance may be deducted on your last tax return, or if Annuity Payments continue after your death, the balance may be deducted by your Beneficiary. The IRS has not furnished explicit guidance as to how the excludable amount is to be determined each year under variable income annuities that permit transfers between a fixed annuity option and variable investment options, as well as transfers between investment options after the Annuity Starting Date. Once Annuity Payments have 83
N-488th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 88th
commenced, you may not be able to make transfer withdrawals to another Non-Qualified Contract or a long-term care contract in a tax-free exchange. If you receive payments that you intend to qualify for the "substantially equal periodic payments" exception noted above, any modifications (except due to death or disability) to your payment before age 59 1/2 or within five years after beginning these payments, whichever is later, will result in the retroactive imposition of the 10% federal income tax penalty with interest. Such modifications may include additional Purchase Payments or withdrawals (including tax-free transfers or rollovers of income payments) from the contract. If the contract allows, you may elect to convert less than the full value of your contract to an annuity form of pay-out (i.e., "partial annuitization"). In this case, your investment in the contract will be pro-rated between the annuitized portion of the contract and the deferred portion. An exclusion ratio will apply to the Annuity Payments as described above, provided the annuity form you elect is payable for at least 10 years or for the life of one or more individuals. 3.8% TAX ON NET INVESTMENT INCOME Federal tax law imposes a 3.8% Medicare tax on the lesser of: (1) the taxpayer's "net investment income," (from non-qualified annuities, interest, dividends, and other investments, offset by specified allowable deductions), or (2) the taxpayer's modified adjusted gross income in excess of a specified income threshold ($250,000 for married couples filing jointly, $125,000 for married couples filing separately, and $200,000 otherwise). "Net investment income" in Item 1 above does not include distributions from tax qualified plans, (i.e., arrangements described in Code Sections 401(a), 403(a), 403(b), 408, 408A, or 457(b)), but such income will increase modified adjusted gross income in Item 2 above. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the applicability of this tax to income under your annuity contract. PUERTO RICO TAX CONSIDERATIONS The Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 2011 (the "2011 PR Code") taxes distributions from Non-Qualified Contracts differently than in the U.S. Distributions that are not in the form of an annuity (including partial surrenders and period certain payments) are treated under the 2011 PR Code first as a return of investment. Therefore, a substantial portion of the amounts distributed generally will be excluded from gross income for Puerto Rico tax purposes until the cumulative amount paid exceeds your tax basis. The amount of income on annuity distributions in annuity form (payable over your lifetime) is also calculated differently under the 2011 PR Code. Since the U.S. source income generated by a Puerto Rico bona fide resident is subject to U.S. income tax and the IRS issued guidance in 2004 which indicated that the income from an annuity contract issued by a U.S. life insurer would be considered U.S. source income, the timing of recognition of income from an annuity contract could vary between the two jurisdictions. Although the 2011 PR Code provides a credit against the Puerto Rico income tax for U.S. income taxes paid, an individual may not get full credit because of the timing differences. You should consult with a personal tax adviser regarding the tax consequences of purchasing an annuity contract and/or any proposed distribution, particularly a partial distribution or election to annuitize if you are a resident of Puerto Rico. QUALIFIED CONTRACTS INTRODUCTION The contract may be purchased through certain types of retirement plans that receive favorable treatment under the Code ("tax qualified plans"). Tax-qualified plans include arrangements described in Code Sections 401(a), 401(k), 403(a), 403(b) or tax sheltered annuities (TSA), 408 or "IRAs" (including SEP and SIMPLE IRAs), 408A or "Roth IRAs" or 457 (b) or 457(b) governmental plans. Extensive special tax rules apply to qualified plans and to the annuity contracts used in connection with these plans. Therefore, the following discussion provides only general information about the use of the contract with the various types of qualified plans. Adverse tax consequences may result if you do not ensure that contributions, distributions and other transactions with respect to the contract comply with the law. The rights to any benefit under the plan will be subject to the terms and conditions of the plan itself as well as the terms and conditions of the contract. We exercise no control over whether a particular retirement plan or a particular contribution to the plan satisfies the 84
N-489th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 89th
applicable requirements of the Code, or whether a particular individual is entitled to participate or benefit under a plan. All qualified plans and arrangements receive tax deferral under the Code. Since there are no additional tax benefits in funding such retirement arrangements with an annuity, there should be reasons other than tax deferral for acquiring the annuity within the plan. Such non-tax benefits may include additional insurance benefits, such as the availability of a guaranteed income for life. A contract may also be available in connection with an employer's non-qualified deferred compensation plan and qualified governmental excess benefit arrangement to provide benefits to certain employees in the plan. The tax rules regarding these plans are complex. We do not provide tax advice. Please consult your tax adviser about your particular situation. ACCUMULATION The tax rules applicable to qualified plans vary according to the type of plan and the terms and conditions of the plan itself. Both the amount of the contribution that may be made and the tax deduction or exclusion that you may claim for that contribution are limited under qualified plans. See the SAI for a description of qualified plan types and annual current contribution limitations, which are subject to change from year-to-year. Purchase payments or contributions to IRAs or tax qualified retirement plans of an employer may be taken from current income on a before tax basis or after tax basis. Purchase payments made on a "before tax" basis entitle you to a tax deduction or are not subject to current income tax. Purchase payments made on an "after tax" basis do not reduce your taxable income or give you a tax deduction. Contributions may also consist of transfers or rollovers as described below which are not subject to the annual limitations on contributions. The contract will accept as a single Purchase Payment a transfer or rollover from another IRA or rollover from an eligible retirement plan of an employer (i.e., 401(a), 401(k), 403(a), 403(b), or governmental 457(b) plan). It will also accept a rollover or transfer from a SIMPLE IRA after the taxpayer has participated in such arrangement for at least two years. As part of the single Purchase Payment, the IRA contract will also accept an IRA contribution subject to the Code limits for the year of purchase. For income annuities established as "pay-outs" of SIMPLE IRAs, the contract will only accept a single Purchase Payment consisting of a transfer or rollover from another SIMPLE IRA. For income annuities established in accordance with a distribution option under a retirement plan of an employer (e.g., 401(a), 401(k), 403(a), 403(b), or 457(b) plan), the contract will only accept as its single Purchase Payment a transfer from such employer retirement plan. TAXATION OF ANNUITY DISTRIBUTIONS If contributions are made on a "before tax" basis, you generally pay income taxes on the full amount of money you withdraw as well as income earned under the contract. Withdrawals attributable to any after-tax contributions are your basis in the contract and not subject to income tax (except for the portion of the withdrawal allocable to earnings). Under current federal income tax rules, the taxable portion of distributions under annuity contracts and qualified plans (including IRAs) is not eligible for the reduced tax rate applicable to long-term capital gains and qualifying dividends. If you meet certain requirements, your Roth IRA, Roth 403(b) and Roth 401(k) earnings are free from federal income taxes. With respect to IRA contracts, we will withhold a portion of the taxable amount of your withdrawal for income taxes, unless you elect otherwise. The amount we withhold is determined by the Code. GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL BENEFITS If you have purchased the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee benefit (LWG), where otherwise made available, note the following: In the event that the Account Value goes to zero, and either the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount is paid out in fixed installments or the Annual Benefit Payment is paid for life, we will treat such payments as income Annuity Payments under the tax law and allow recovery of any remaining basis ratably over the expected number of payments. In determining your required minimum distribution each year, the actuarial value of this benefit as of the prior December 31 must be taken into account in addition to the Account Value of the contract. 85
N-490th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 90th
If you have purchased the GWB I, Enhanced GWB or LWG, where otherwise made available, note the following: The tax treatment of withdrawals under such a benefit is uncertain. It is conceivable that the amount of potential gain could be determined based on the remaining amount guaranteed to be available for withdrawal at the time of the withdrawal if greater than the Account Value (prior to withdrawal charges). This could result in a greater amount of taxable income in certain cases. In general, at the present time, we intend to report such withdrawals using the Account Value rather than the remaining benefit to determine gain. However, in cases where the maximum permitted withdrawal in any year under any version of the Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit exceeds the Account Value, the portion of the withdrawal treated as taxable gain (not to exceed the amount of the withdrawal) should be measured as the difference between the maximum permitted withdrawal amount under the benefit and the remaining after-tax basis immediately preceding the withdrawal. Consult your tax adviser. In the event that the Account Value goes to zero, and either the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount is paid out in fixed installments or the Annual Benefit Payment is paid for life, we will treat such payments as income Annuity Payments under the tax law and allow recovery of any remaining basis ratably over the expected number of payments. We reserve the right to change our tax reporting practices where we determine that they are not in accordance with IRS guidance (whether formal or informal). WITHDRAWALS PRIOR TO AGE 59 1/2 A taxable withdrawal or distribution from a qualified plan which is subject to income tax may also be subject to a 10% federal income tax penalty for "early" distribution if taken prior to age 59 1/2, unless an exception described below applies. The penalty rate is 25% for SIMPLE plan contracts if the distribution occurs within the first 2 years of your participation in the plan. These exceptions include distributions made: (a) on account of your death or disability, or (b) as part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments payable for your life or joint lives of you and your designated Beneficiary and you are separated from employment. If you receive systematic payments that you intend to qualify for the "substantially equal periodic payments" exception noted above, any modifications (except due to death or disability) to your payment before age 59 1/2 or within five years after beginning these payments, whichever is later, will result in the retroactive imposition of the 10% federal income tax penalty with interest. Such modifications may include additional Purchase Payments or withdrawals (including tax-free transfers or rollovers of income payments) from the contract. In addition, a withdrawal or distribution from a Qualified Contract other than an IRA (including SEPs and SIMPLEs) will avoid the penalty if: (1) the distribution is on separation from employment after age 55; (2) the distribution is made pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order (QDRO); (3) the distribution is to pay deductible medical expenses; or (4) if the distribution is to pay IRS levies (and made after December 31, 1999). The 10% federal income tax penalty on early distribution does not apply to governmental 457(b) plan contracts. However, it does apply to distributions from 457(b) plans of employers which are state or local governments to the extent that the distribution is attributable to rollovers accepted from other types of eligible retirement plans. In addition to death, disability and as part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments as indicated above, a withdrawal or distribution from an IRA (including SEPs and SIMPLEs and Roth IRAs) will avoid the penalty: (1) if the distribution is to pay deductible medical expenses; (2) if the distribution is to pay IRS levies (and made after December 31, 1999); (3) if the distribution is used to pay for medical insurance (if you are unemployed), qualified higher education expenses, or for a qualified first time home purchase up to $10,000. Other exceptions may be applicable under certain circumstances and special rules may be applicable in connection with the exceptions enumerated above. COMMUTATION FEATURES UNDER INCOME PAYMENT TYPES Please be advised that the tax consequences resulting from the election of an income payment types containing a commutation feature are uncertain and the IRS may determine that the taxable amount of income payments and withdrawals received for any year could be greater than or less than the taxable amount reported by us. The exercise 86
N-491st Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 91st
of the commutation feature also may result in adverse tax consequences including: o The imposition of a 10% federal income tax penalty on the taxable amount of the commuted value, if the taxpayer has not attained age 59 1/2 at the time the withdrawal is made. This 10% federal income tax penalty is in addition to the ordinary income tax on the taxable amount of the commuted value. o The retroactive imposition of the 10% federal income tax penalty on income payments received prior to the taxpayer attaining age 59 1/2. o The possibility that the exercise of the commutation feature could adversely affect the amount excluded from federal income tax under any income payments made after such commutation. A payee should consult with his or her own tax adviser prior to electing to annuitize the contract and prior to exercising any commutation feature under an income payment type. ROLLOVERS Your contract is non-forfeitable (i.e., not subject to the claims of your creditors) and non-transferable (i.e., you may not transfer it to someone else). Nevertheless, contracts held in certain employer plans subject to ERISA may be transferred in part pursuant to a QDRO. Under certain circumstances, you may be able to transfer amounts distributed from your contract to another eligible retirement plan or IRA. For 457(b) plans maintained by non-governmental employers, if certain conditions are met, amounts may be transferred into another 457(b) plan maintained by a non-governmental employer. You may make rollovers and direct transfers into your SIMPLE IRA annuity contract from another SIMPLE IRA annuity contract or account. No other rollovers or transfers can be made to your SIMPLE IRA. Rollovers and direct transfers from a SIMPLE IRA can only be made to another SIMPLE IRA or account during the first two years that you participate in the SIMPLE IRA plan. After this two year period, rollovers and transfers may be made from your SIMPLE IRA into a Traditional IRA or account, as well as into another SIMPLE IRA. Generally, a distribution may be eligible for rollover. Certain types of distributions cannot be rolled over, such as distributions received on account of: (a) minimum distribution requirements, or (b) financial hardship. 20% WITHHOLDING ON ELIGIBLE ROLLOVER DISTRIBUTIONS For certain qualified employer plans, we are required to withhold 20% of the taxable portion of your withdrawal that constitutes an "eligible rollover distribution" for federal income taxes. The amount we withhold is determined by the Code. You may avoid withholding if you assign or transfer a withdrawal from this contract directly into another qualified plan or IRA. Similarly, you may be able to avoid withholding on a transfer into this contract from an existing qualified plan you may have with another provider by arranging to have the transfer made directly to us. For taxable withdrawals that are not "eligible rollover distributions," the Code requires different withholding rules which determine the withholding amounts. DEATH BENEFITS The death benefit is taxable to the recipient in the same manner as if paid to the contract Owner or plan participant (under the rules for withdrawals or income payments, whichever is applicable). Distributions required from a Qualified Contract following your death depend on whether you die before you had converted your contract to an annuity form and started taking Annuity Payments (your Annuity Starting Date). If you die on or after your Annuity Starting Date, the remaining portion of the interest in the contract must be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of death. If you die before your Annuity Starting Date, the entire interest in the contract must be distributed within five (5) years after the date of death, or as periodic payments over a period not extending beyond the life or life expectancy of the designated Beneficiary (provided such payments begin within one year of your death). Your designated Beneficiary is the person to whom benefit rights under the contract pass by reason of death; the Beneficiary must be a natural person in order to elect a periodic payment option based on life expectancy or a period exceeding five years. For required minimum distributions following the death of the Annuitant of a Qualified Contract, the five-year rule is applied without regard to calendar year 2009. For instance, for a contract Owner who died in 2007, the five-year period would end in 2013 instead of 2012. The required minimum distribution rules are complex, so consult your 87
N-492nd Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 92nd
tax adviser because the application of these rules to your particular circumstances may have been impacted by the 2009 required minimum distribution waiver. Additionally, if the annuity is payable to (or for the benefit of) your surviving spouse, that portion of the contract may be continued with your spouse as the Owner. If your spouse is your Beneficiary, and your contract permits, your spouse may delay the start of these payments until December 31 of the year in which you would have reached age 70 1/2. If your spouse is your Beneficiary, your spouse may be able to rollover the death proceeds into another eligible retirement plan in which he or she participates, if permitted under the receiving plan. Alternatively, if your spouse is your sole Beneficiary, he or she may elect to rollover the death proceeds into his or her own IRA. If your Beneficiary is not your spouse and your plan and contract permit, your Beneficiary may be able to rollover the death proceeds via a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer into an inherited IRA. However, a non-spouse Beneficiary may not treat the inherited IRA as his or her own IRA. Additionally, for contracts issued in connection with qualified plans subject to ERISA, the spouse or ex-spouse of the Owner may have rights in the contract. In such a case, the Owner may need the consent of the spouse or ex-spouse to change annuity options or make a withdrawal from the contract. REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS Generally, you must begin receiving retirement plan withdrawals by April 1 following the latter of: (a) the calendar year in which you reach age 70 1/2, or (b) the calendar year you retire, provided you do not own more than 5% of your employer. For IRAs (including SEPs and SIMPLEs), you must begin receiving withdrawals by April 1 of the year after you reach age 70 1/2 even if you have not retired. A tax penalty of 50% applies to the amount by which the required minimum distribution exceeds the actual distribution. You may not satisfy minimum distributions for one employer's qualified plan (i.e., 401(a), 403(a), 457(b)) with distributions from another qualified plan of the same or a different employer. However, an aggregation rule does apply in the case of IRAs (including SEPs and SIMPLEs) or 403(b) plans. The minimum required distribution is calculated with respect to each IRA, but the aggregate distribution may be taken from any one or more of your IRAs/SEPs. Similarly, the amount of required minimum distribution is calculated separately with respect to each 403(b) arrangement, but the aggregate amount of the required distribution may be taken from any one or more of your 403(b) plan contracts. For SIMPLE IRAs, the aggregate amount of the required distribution may be taken from any one or more of your SIMPLE IRAs. Complex rules apply to the calculation of these withdrawals. In general, income tax regulations permit income payments to increase based not only with respect to the investment experience of the Investment Portfolios but also with respect to actuarial gains. The regulations also require that the value of benefits under a deferred annuity including certain death benefits in excess of contract value must be added to the amount credited to your account in computing the amount required to be distributed over the applicable period. We will provide you with additional information regarding the amount that is subject to minimum distribution under this rule. You should consult your own tax adviser as to how these rules affect your own distribution under this rule. If you intend to receive your minimum distributions which are payable over the joint lives of you and a Beneficiary who is not your spouse (or over a period not exceeding the joint life expectancy of you and your non-spousal Beneficiary), be advised that federal tax rules may require that payments be made over a shorter period or may require that payments to the Beneficiary be reduced after your death to meet the minimum distribution incidental benefit rules and avoid the 50% excise tax. You should consult your own tax adviser as to how these rules affect your own contract. Required minimum distribution rules that apply to other types of IRAs while you are alive do not apply to Roth IRAs. However, in general, the same rules with respect to minimum distributions required to be made to a Beneficiary after your death under other IRAs do apply to Roth IRAs. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING TSA (ERISA AND NON-ERISA) 403(B) SPECIAL RULES REGARDING EXCHANGES. In order to satisfy tax regulations, contract exchanges within a 403(b) plan after September 24, 2007, must, at a minimum, meet 88
N-493rd Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 93rd
the following requirements: (1) the plan must allow the exchange; (2) the exchange must not result in a reduction in a participant's or a Beneficiary's accumulated benefit: (3) the receiving contract includes distribution restrictions that are no less stringent than those imposed on the contract being exchanged; and (4) if the issuer receiving the exchanges is not part of the plan, the employer enters into an agreement with the issuer to provide information to enable the contract provider to comply with Code requirements. Such information would include details concerning severance from employment, hardship withdrawals, loans and tax basis. You should consult your tax or legal counsel for any advice relating to contract exchanges or any other matter relating to these regulations. WITHDRAWALS. If you are under age 59 1/2, you generally cannot withdraw money from your TSA contract unless the withdrawal: (a) related to Purchase Payments made prior to 1989 and pre-1989 earnings on those Purchase Payments; (b) is exchanged to another permissible investment under your 403(b) plan; (c) relates to contributions to an annuity contract that are not salary reduction elective deferrals , if your plan allows it; (d) occurs after you die, leave your job or become disabled (as defined by the Code); (e) is for financial hardship (but only to the extent of elective deferrals), if your plan allows it; (f) relates to distributions attributable to certain TSA plan terminations, if the conditions of the Code are met; (g) relates to rollover or after-tax contributions; or (h) is for the purchase of permissive service credit under a governmental defined benefit plan. In addition, a Section 403(b) contract is permitted to distribute retirement benefits attributable to pre-tax contributions other than elective deferrals to the participant no earlier than upon the earlier of the participant's severance from employment or upon the prior occurrence of some event, such as after a fixed number of years, the attainment of a stated age or disability. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING IRAS PURCHASE PAYMENTS. Traditional IRA Purchase Payments (except for permissible rollovers and direct transfers) are generally not permitted after you attain age 70 1/2. Except for permissible rollovers and direct transfers, Purchase Payments for individuals are limited in the aggregate to the lesser of 100% of compensation or the deductible amount established each year under the Code. A Purchase Payment up to the deductible amount can also be made for a non-working spouse provided the couple's compensation is at least equal to their aggregate contributions. Individuals age 50 and older are permitted to make additional "catch-up" contributions if they have sufficient compensation. If you or your spouse are an active participant in a retirement plan of an employer, your deductible contributions may be limited. If you exceed Purchase Payment limits you may be subject to a tax penalty. Roth IRA Purchase Payments for individuals are non-deductible (made on an "after tax" basis) and are limited to the lesser of 100% of compensation or the annual deductible IRA amount. Individuals age 50 and older can make an additional "catch-up" Purchase Payment each year (assuming the individual has sufficient compensation). You may contribute up to the annual Purchase Payment limit if your modified adjusted gross income does not exceed certain limits. You can contribute to a Roth IRA after age 70 1/2. If you exceed Purchase Payment limits, you may be subject to a tax penalty. WITHDRAWALS. If and to the extent that Traditional IRA Purchase Payments are made on an "after tax" basis, withdrawals would be included in income except for the portion that represents a return of non-deductible Purchase Payments. This portion is generally determined based upon the ratio of all non-deductible Purchase Payments to the total value of all your Traditional IRAs (including SEP IRAs and SIMPLE IRAs). We withhold a portion of the amount of your withdrawal for income taxes, unless you elect otherwise. The amount we withhold is determined by the Code. Generally, withdrawal of earnings from Roth IRAs are free from federal income tax if: (1) they are made at least five taxable years after your first Purchase Payment to a Roth IRA; and (2) they are made on or after the date you reach age 59 1/2 and upon your death, disability or qualified first-home purchase (up to $10,000). Withdrawals from a Roth IRA are made first from Purchase Payments and then from earnings. We may be required to withhold a portion of your withdrawal for income taxes, unless you elect otherwise. The amount will be determined by the Code. 89

CONVERSION. Traditional IRAs may be converted to Roth IRAs. Except to the extent you have non-deductible contributions, the amount converted from an existing Traditional IRA into a Roth IRA is taxable. Generally, the 10% federal income tax penalty does not apply. However, the taxable amount to be converted must be based on the fair market value of the entire annuity contract being converted into a Roth IRA. Such fair market value, in general, is to be determined by taking into account the value of all benefits (both living benefits and death benefits) in addition to the Account Value; as well as adding back certain loads and charges incurred during the prior twelve month period. Your contract may include such benefits and applicable charges. Accordingly, if you are considering such conversion of your annuity contract, please consult your tax adviser. The taxable amount may exceed the Account Value at the date of conversion. A Roth IRA contract may also be re-characterized as a Traditional IRA, if certain conditions are met. Please consult your tax adviser. DISTINCTION FOR PUERTO RICO CODE An annuity contract may be purchased by an employer for an employee under a qualified pension, profit sharing, stock bonus, annuity, or a "cash or deferred" arrangement plan established pursuant to Section 1081.01 of the 2011 PR Code. To be tax qualified under the 2011 PR Code, a plan must comply with the requirements of Section 1081.01(a) of the 2011 PR Code which includes certain participation requirements, among other requirements. A trust created to hold assets for a qualified plan is exempt from tax on its investment income. CONTRIBUTIONS. The employer is entitled to a current income tax deduction for contributions made to a qualified plan, subject to statutory limitations on the amount that may be contributed each year. The plan contributions by the employer are not required to be included in the current income of the employee. DISTRIBUTIONS. Any amount received or made available to the employee under the qualified plan is includible in the gross income of the employee in the taxable year in which received or made available. In such case, the amount paid or contributed by the employer shall not constitute consideration paid by the employee for the contract for purposes of determining the amount of Annuity Payments required to be included in the employee's gross income. Thus, amounts actually distributed or made available to any employee under the qualified plan will be included in their entirety in the employee's gross income. Lump-sum proceeds from a Puerto Rico qualified retirement plan due to separation from service will generally be taxed at a 20% capital gain tax rate to be withheld at the source. A special rate of 10% may apply instead, if the plan satisfies the following requirements: (1) the plan's trust is organized under the laws of Puerto Rico, or has a Puerto Rico resident trustee and uses such trustee as paying agent; and (2) 10% of all plan's trust assets (calculated based on the average balance of the investments of the trust) attributable to participants who are Puerto Rico residents must be invested in "property located in Puerto Rico" for a three-year period. If these two requirements are not satisfied, the distribution will generally be subject to the 20% tax rate. The three-year period includes the year of the distribution and the two immediately preceding years. In the case of a defined contribution plan that maintains separate accounts for each participant, the described 10% investment requirement may be satisfied in the accounts of a participant that chooses to invest in such fashion rather than at the trust level. Property located in Puerto Rico includes shares of stock of a Puerto Rico registered investment company, fixed or variable annuities issued by a domestic insurance company or by a foreign insurance corporation that derives more than 80% of its gross income from sources within Puerto Rico, and bank deposits. The PR 2011 Code does not impose a penalty tax in cases of early (premature) distributions from a qualified plan. ROLLOVER. Deferral of the recognition of income continues upon the receipt of a distribution by a participant from a qualified plan, if the distribution is contributed to another qualified retirement plan or traditional individual retirement account for the employee's benefit no later than sixty (60) days after the distribution. ERISA CONSIDERATIONS. In the context of a Puerto Rico qualified retirement plan trust, the IRS has recently held that the transfer of assets and liabilities from a qualified retirement plan trust under the Code to that type of plan would generally be treated as a distribution includible in gross income for U.S. income tax purposes even if the Puerto Rico retirement plan is a plan described in ERISA Section 1022(i)(1). By contrast, a transfer from a qualified retirement plan trust under the Code to a Puerto Rico qualified retirement plan trust that has made an election under ERISA Section 1022(i)(2) is not treated as a 90
N-495th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 95th
distribution from the transferor plan for U.S. income tax purposes because a Puerto Rico retirement plan that has made an election under ERISA Section 1022(i)(2) is treated as a qualified retirement plan for purposes Code Section 401(a). The IRS has determined that the above described rules prescribing the inclusion in income of transfers of assets and liabilities to a Puerto Rico retirement plan trust described in ERISA Section 1022(i)(1) would be applicable to transfers taking effect after December 31, 2012. Similar to the IRS in Revenue Ruling 2013-17, the U.S. Department of Labor issued DOL Technical Release No. 2013-04 on September 18, 2013, providing that, where the Secretary of Labor has authority to regulate with respect to the provisions of ERISA dealing with the use of the term "spouse," spouse will be read to refer to any individuals who are lawfully married under any state law, including same-sex spouses, and without regard to whether their state of domicile recognizes same-sex marriage. Thus, for ERISA purposes as well as Federal tax purposes, an employee benefit plan participant who marries a person of the same sex in a jurisdiction that recognizes same-sex marriage will continue to be treated as married even if the couple moves to a jurisdiction, like Puerto Rico, that does not recognize same-sex marriage. 11. OTHER INFORMATION METLIFE INVESTORS USA MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (MetLife Investors USA) is a stock life insurance company founded on September 13, 1960, and organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. Its principal executive offices are located at 11225 North Community House Road, Charlotte, NC 28277. MetLife Investors USA is authorized to transact the business of life insurance, including annuities, and is currently licensed to do business in all states (except New York), the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Our name was changed to Security First Life Insurance Company on September 27, 1979. We changed our name to MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company on January 8, 2001. On December 31, 2002, MetLife Investors USA became an indirect subsidiary of MetLife, Inc., a listed company on the New York Stock Exchange. On October 11, 2006, MetLife Investors USA became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (MetLife of Connecticut). MetLife, Inc., through its subsidiaries and affiliates, is a leading provider of insurance and other financial services to individual and institutional customers. In 2013, MetLife, Inc. announced its plans to merge MetLife Investors USA, MetLife of Connecticut, MetLife Investors Insurance Company (MetLife Investors), and Exeter Reassurance Company, Ltd. (Exeter Reassurance), to create one larger U.S.-based and U.S.-regulated life insurance company. MetLife Investors, like MetLife Investors USA and MetLife of Connecticut, is a U.S. insurance company that issues variable insurance products in addition to other products. Exeter Reassurance is a direct subsidiary of MetLife, Inc. that mainly reinsures guarantees associated with variable annuity products issued by U.S. insurance companies that are direct or indirect subsidiaries of MetLife, Inc. MetLife of Connecticut, which is expected to be renamed and domiciled in Delaware, will be the surviving entity. These mergers are expected to occur towards the end of 2014, subject to regulatory approvals. THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT We have established a SEPARATE ACCOUNT, MetLife Investors USA Separate Account A (Separate Account), to hold the assets that underlie the contracts. Our Board of Directors adopted a resolution to establish the Separate Account under Delaware insurance law on May 29, 1980. We have registered the Separate Account with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Separate Account is divided into subaccounts. The Separate Account's assets are solely for the benefit of those who invest in the Separate Account and no one else, including our creditors. The assets of the Separate Account are held in our name on behalf of the Separate Account and legally belong to us. All the income, gains and losses (realized or unrealized) resulting from these assets are credited to or charged against the contracts issued from this Separate Account without regard to our other business. We reserve the right to transfer assets of the Separate Account to another account, and to modify the structure or operation of the Separate Account, subject to necessary regulatory approvals. If we do so, we guarantee that the modification will not affect your Account Value. We are obligated to pay all money we owe under the contracts - such as death benefits and income payments - even if that amount exceeds the assets in the Separate Account. Any such amount that exceeds the assets in the 91
N-496th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 96th
Separate Account is paid from our general account. Any amount under any optional death benefit, optional Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit, optional Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit, or optional Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit that exceeds the assets in the Separate Account is also paid from our general account. Benefit amounts paid from the general account are subject to our financial strength and claims paying ability and our long term ability to make such payments. We issue other annuity contracts and life insurance policies where we pay all money we owe under those contracts and policies from our general account. MetLife Investors USA is regulated as an insurance company under state law, which generally includes limits on the amount and type of investments in our general account. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to meet our claims paying obligations; there are risks to purchasing any insurance product. The investment advisers to certain of the Investment Portfolios offered with the contracts or with other variable annuity contracts issued through the Separate Account may be regulated as Commodity Pool Operators. While it does not concede that the Separate Account is a commodity pool, MetLife Investors USA has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term "commodity pool operator" under the Commodities Exchange Act (CEA), and is not subject to registration or regulation as a pool operator under the CEA. DISTRIBUTOR We have entered into a distribution agreement with our affiliate, MetLife Investors Distribution Company (Distributor), 1095 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10036, for the distribution of the contracts. Distributor is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). FINRA provides background information about broker-dealers and their registered representatives through FINRA BrokerCheck. You may contact the FINRA BrokerCheck Hotline at 1-800-289-9999, or log on to www.finra.org. An investor brochure that includes information describing FINRA BrokerCheck is available through the Hotline or on-line. Distributor, and in certain cases, we, have entered into selling agreements with other affiliated and unaffiliated selling firms for the sale of the contracts. We pay compensation to Distributor for sales of the contracts by selling firms. We also pay amounts to Distributor that may be used for its operating and other expenses, including the following sales expenses: compensation and bonuses for the Distributor's management team, advertising expenses, and other expenses of distributing the contracts. Distributor's management team and registered representatives also may be eligible for non-cash compensation items that we may provide jointly with Distributor. Non-cash items include conferences, seminars and trips (including travel, lodging and meals in connection therewith), entertainment, merchandise and other similar items. All of the Investment Portfolios make payments to Distributor under their distribution plans in consideration of services provided and expenses incurred by Distributor in distributing shares of the Investment Portfolios. (See "Fee Tables and Examples - Investment Portfolio Expenses" and the fund prospectuses.) These payments range from 0.15% to 0.55% of Separate Account assets invested in the particular Investment Portfolio. We pay American Funds Distributors, Inc., principal underwriter for the American Funds Insurance Series, a percentage of Purchase Payments allocated to the following portfolios for the services it provides in marketing the portfolios' shares in connection with the contract: the American Funds (Reg. TM) Growth Portfolio, the American Funds (Reg. TM) Moderate Allocation Portfolio, the American Funds (Reg. TM) Balanced Allocation Portfolio, and the American Funds (Reg. TM) Growth Allocation Portfolio. SELLING FIRMS As noted above, Distributor, and in certain cases, we, have entered into selling agreements with affiliated and unaffiliated selling firms for the sale of the contracts. Affiliated selling firms include MetLife Securities, Inc. (MetLife Securities) and New England Securities Corporation. All selling firms receive commissions, and they may also receive some form of non-cash compensation. Certain selected selling firms receive additional compensation (described below under "Additional Compensation for Selected Selling Firms"). These commissions and other incentives or payments are not charged directly to contract Owners or the Separate Account. We intend to recoup commissions and other sales expenses through fees and charges deducted under the contract or from our general account. A portion of the payments made to selling firms may be passed on to their sales representatives in accordance with the selling firms' internal compensation programs. Those programs may also include other types of cash and non-cash compensation and 92
N-497th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 97th
other benefits. Registered representatives of the selling firms may also receive non-cash compensation, pursuant to their firm's guidelines, directly from us or Distributor. COMPENSATION PAID TO SELLING FIRMS. We and Distributor pay compensation to all affiliated and unaffiliated selling firms in the form of commissions and may also provide certain types of non-cash compensation. The maximum commission payable for contract sales and additional Purchase Payments by selling firms is 8% of Purchase Payments. Some selling firms may elect to receive a lower commission when a Purchase Payment is made, along with annual trail commissions up to 1.20% of Account Value (less Purchase Payments received within the previous 12 months) for so long as the contract remains in effect or as agreed in the selling agreement. We also pay commissions when a contract Owner elects to begin receiving regular income payments (referred to as "Annuity Payments"). (See "Annuity Payments - The Income Phase.") Distributor may also provide non-cash compensation items that we may provide jointly with Distributor. Non-cash items may include expenses for conference or seminar trips, certain gifts, prizes, and awards. With respect to the contracts, the compensation paid to affiliated selling firms is generally not expected to exceed, on a present value basis, the aggregate amount of compensation that is paid by Distributor to all other selling firms as noted above. SALES BY OUR AFFILIATES. As previously noted, we and Distributor may offer the contracts through retail selling firms that are affiliates of ours. The amount of compensation the affiliated selling firms pass on to their sales representatives is determined in accordance with their own internal compensation programs. These programs may also include other types of cash compensation, such as bonuses, equity awards (such as stock options), training allowances, supplementary salary, financing arrangements, marketing support, medical and other insurance benefits, retirement benefits, non-qualified deferred compensation plans and other benefits. Sales representatives of our affiliates must meet a minimum level of sales production in order to maintain their agent status with us. Sales representatives can meet the minimum level of sales production through sales of proprietary and/or non-proprietary products. (Proprietary products are those issued by us or our affiliates.) However, sales representatives can meet a lower alternative minimum level of sales production if the sales representative focuses on sales of proprietary products. Therefore, a sales representative may have an incentive to favor the sale of proprietary products. Moreover, because the managers who supervise the representatives receive a higher level of compensation based on sales of proprietary products, these sales managers have an incentive to promote the sale of proprietary products. Sales representatives of our affiliates receive cash payments for the products they sell and service based upon a "gross dealer concession" model. Gross dealer concession may also be credited when the contract is annuitized. The amount of gross dealer concession credited upon annuitization depends on several factors, including the number of years the contract has been in force. Sales representatives of our affiliates are entitled to part or all of the gross dealer concession. The percentage to which a representative is entitled is determined by a sliding-scale formula that takes into account the total amount of proprietary and non-proprietary products sold and serviced by the representative. Sales representatives of our affiliates and their managers may be eligible for additional cash compensation, such as bonuses and expense allowances (that may be tied to sales of specific products), equity awards (such as stock options), training allowances, supplemental compensation, product level add-ons controlled at the local and company levels, financing arrangements, special loan repayment options, marketing support, medical and other insurance benefits, and retirement benefits and other benefits. Since some of this additional compensation, in particular, life insurance, disability and retirement benefits, is based primarily on the amount of proprietary products sold, sales representatives and their managers have an incentive to favor the sale of proprietary products. Sales representatives who meet certain productivity, persistency, and length of service standards and/or their managers may be eligible for additional cash compensation. Moreover, managers may be eligible for additional cash compensation based on the sales production of the sales representatives that the manager supervises. The business unit responsible for the operation of our distribution system is also eligible to receive an amount of compensation. Ask your registered representative for further information about what payments your registered representative and 93
N-498th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 98th
the selling firm for which he or she works may receive in connection with your purchase of a contract. ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION FOR SELECTED SELLING FIRMS. We and Distributor have entered into distribution arrangements with certain selected selling firms. Under these arrangements we and Distributor may pay additional compensation to selected selling firms, including marketing allowances, introduction fees, persistency payments, preferred status fees and industry conference fees. Marketing allowances are periodic payments to certain selling firms, the amount of which depends on cumulative periodic (usually quarterly) sales of our insurance contracts (including the contracts offered by this prospectus) and may also depend on meeting thresholds in the sale of certain of our insurance contracts (other than the contracts offered by this prospectus). They may also include payments we make to cover the cost of marketing or other support services provided for or by registered representatives who may sell our products. Introduction fees are payments to selling firms in connection with the addition of our products to the selling firm's line of investment products, including expenses relating to establishing the data communications systems necessary for the selling firm to offer, sell and administer our products. Persistency payments are periodic payments based on Account Values of our variable insurance contracts (including Account Values of the contracts) or other persistency standards. Preferred status fees are paid to obtain preferred treatment of the contracts in selling firms' 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 selling firms' sales representatives. We and Distributor have entered into such distribution agreements with the unaffiliated selling firms identified in the Statement of Additional Information. We and Distributor may enter into similar arrangements with affiliated selling firms, such as MetLife Securities and New England Securities Corporation. The additional types of compensation discussed above are not offered to all selling firms. The terms of any particular agreement governing compensation may vary among selling firms and the amounts may be significant. The prospect of receiving, or the receipt of, additional compensation as described above may provide selling firms and/or their sales representatives with an incentive to favor sales of the contracts over other variable annuity contracts (or other investments) with respect to which selling firm 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 contracts. For more information about any such additional compensation arrangements, ask your registered representative. (See the Statement of Additional Information - "Distribution" for a list of selling firms that received compensation during 2013, as well as the range of additional compensation paid.) REQUESTS AND ELECTIONS We will treat your request for a contract transaction, or your submission of a Purchase Payment, as received by us if we receive a request conforming to our administrative procedures or a payment at our Annuity Service Center before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on that day. We will treat your submission of a Purchase Payment as received by us if we receive a payment at our Annuity Service Center (or a designee receives a payment in accordance with the designee's administrative procedures) before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on that day. If we receive the request, or if we (or our designee) receive the payment, after the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on that day, or if the New York Stock Exchange is not open that day, then the request or payment will be treated as received on the next day when the New York Stock Exchange is open. Our Annuity Service Center is located at P.O. Box 10366, Des Moines, IA 50306-0366. If you send your Purchase Payments or transaction requests to an address other than the one we have designated for receipt of such Purchase Payments or requests, we may return the Purchase Payment to you, or there may be a delay in applying the Purchase Payment or transaction to your contract. Requests for service may be made: o Through your registered representative o By telephone at (800) 343-8496, between the hours of 7:30AM and 5:30PM Central Time Monday through Thursday and 7:30AM and 5:00PM Central Time on Friday o In writing to our Annuity Service Center o By fax at (515) 457-4400 or o By Internet at www.metlifeinvestors.com 94
N-499th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 99th
Some of the requests for service that may be made by telephone or Internet include transfers of Account Value (see "Investment Options - Transfers - Transfers By Telephone or Other Means") and changes to the allocation of future Purchase Payments (see "Purchase - Allocation of Purchase Payments"). We may from time to time permit requests for other types of transactions to be made by telephone or Internet. All transaction requests must be in a form satisfactory to us. Contact us for further information. Some selling firms may restrict the ability of their registered representatives to convey transaction requests by telephone or Internet on your behalf. A request or transaction generally is considered in GOOD ORDER if it complies with our administrative procedures and the required information is complete and accurate. A request or transaction may be rejected or delayed if not in Good Order. If you have any questions, you should contact us or your registered representative before submitting the form or request. We will use reasonable procedures such as requiring certain identifying information, tape recording the telephone instructions, and providing written confirmation of the transaction, in order to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone, fax, Internet or other means are genuine. Any telephone, fax or Internet instructions reasonably believed by us to be genuine will be your responsibility, including losses arising from any errors in the communication of instructions. As a result of this policy, you will bear the risk of loss. If we do not employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone, fax or Internet are genuine, we may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent transactions. All other requests and elections under your contract must be in writing signed by the proper party, must include any necessary documentation and must be received at our Annuity Service Center to be effective. If acceptable to us, requests or elections relating to Beneficiaries and Ownership will take effect as of the date signed unless we have already acted in reliance on the prior status. We are not responsible for the validity of any written request or action. Telephone and computer systems may not always be available. Any telephone or computer system, whether it is yours, your service provider's, your agent'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 experience technical difficulties or problems, you should make your transaction request in writing to our Annuity Service Center. CONFIRMING TRANSACTIONS. We will send out written statements confirming that a transaction was recently completed. Unless you inform us of any errors within 60 days of receipt, we will consider these communications to be accurate and complete. OWNERSHIP OWNER. You, as the OWNER of the contract, have all the interest and rights under the contract. These rights include the right to: o change the Beneficiary. o change the Annuitant before the Annuity Date (subject to our underwriting and administrative rules). o assign the contract (subject to limitation). o change the payment option. o exercise all other rights, benefits, options and privileges allowed by the contract or us. The Owner is as designated at the time the contract is issued, unless changed. Any change of Owner is subject to our underwriting rules in effect at the time of the request. JOINT OWNER. The contract can be owned by JOINT OWNERS, limited to two natural persons. Upon the death of either Owner, the surviving Owner will be the primary Beneficiary. Any other Beneficiary designation will be treated as a contingent Beneficiary unless otherwise indicated. BENEFICIARY. The BENEFICIARY is the person(s) or entity you name to receive any death benefit. The Beneficiary is named at the time the contract is issued unless changed at a later date. Unless an irrevocable Beneficiary has been named, you can change the Beneficiary at any time before you die. If Joint Owners are named, unless you tell us otherwise, the surviving Joint Owner will be the primary Beneficiary. Any other Beneficiary designation will be treated as a contingent Beneficiary (unless you tell us otherwise). ABANDONED PROPERTY REQUIREMENTS. Every state has unclaimed property laws which generally declare non-ERISA annuity contracts to be abandoned after a period of inactivity of three to five years from the contract's maturity 95
N-4100th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 100th
date or the date the death benefit is due and payable. For example, if the payment of a death benefit has been triggered, but, if after a thorough search, we are still unable to locate the Beneficiary of the death benefit, or the Beneficiary does not come forward to claim the death benefit in a timely manner, the death benefit will be paid to the abandoned property division or unclaimed property office of the state in which the Beneficiary or the Owner last resided, as shown on our books and records, or to our state of domicile. (Escheatment is the formal, legal name for this process.) However, the state is obligated to pay the death benefit (without interest) if your Beneficiary steps forward to claim it with the proper documentation. To prevent your contract's proceeds from being paid to the state's abandoned or unclaimed property office, it is important that you update your Beneficiary designations, including addresses, if and as they change. Please call (800) 343-8496 to make such changes. ANNUITANT. The ANNUITANT is the natural person(s) on whose life we base Annuity Payments. You can change the Annuitant at any time prior to the Annuity Date, unless an Owner is not a natural person. Any reference to Annuitant includes any joint Annuitant under an Annuity Option. The Owner and the Annuitant do not have to be the same person except as required under certain sections of the Internal Revenue Code or under a GMIB rider (see "Living Benefits - Guaranteed Income Benefits"). ASSIGNMENT. You can assign a Non-Qualified Contract at any time during your lifetime. We will not be bound by the assignment until the written notice of the assignment is recorded by us. We will not be liable for any payment or other action we take in accordance with the contract before we record the assignment. AN ASSIGNMENT MAY BE A TAXABLE EVENT. If the contract is issued pursuant to a qualified plan, there may be limitations on your ability to assign the contract. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In the ordinary course of business, MetLife Investors USA, 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 Investors USA 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 Investors USA to meet its obligations under the contracts.

APPENDIX C EDCA EXAMPLES WITH MULTIPLE PURCHASE PAYMENTS In order to show how the EDCA program works, we have created some examples. The examples are purely hypothetical and are for illustrative purposes only. The interest rate earned in an EDCA account will be the guaranteed minimum interest rate, plus any additional interest which we may declare from time to time. In addition, each bucket attributable to a subsequent Purchase Payment will earn interest at the then-current interest rate applied to new allocations to an EDCA account of the same monthly term. These examples do not reflect charges that may be deducted from the EDCA account. 6-MONTH EDCA The following example demonstrates how the 6-month Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging (EDCA) program operates when multiple Purchase Payments are allocated to the program. The example assumes that you are eligible to receive a Purchase Payment Credit of 4% and that a $12,000 Purchase Payment plus the 4% Purchase Payment Credit of $480 is allocated to the EDCA program at the beginning of the first month and the first transfer of $2,000 also occurs on that date. The $10,480 remaining after the EDCA transfer is allocated to the 1st Payment Bucket, where it is credited with a 3% effective annual interest rate. The EDCA transfer amount of $2,000 is determined by dividing the $12,000 Purchase Payment amount by 6 (the number of months in the EDCA program). Thereafter, a $2,000 transfer is made from the EDCA at the beginning of each month. Amounts remaining in the EDCA Account Value are accumulated at the EDCA interest rate using the following formula: Account Value 1st Payment Bucket (month 2) = Account Value 1st Payment Bucket (month 1) x (1+EDCA Rate)(1/12) - EDCA Transfer Amount At the beginning of the 4th month, assume that you are eligible to receive a Purchase Payment Credit of 4% and a second Purchase Payment of $6,000 plus the 4% Purchase Payment Credit of $240 is allocated to the 2nd Payment Bucket, where it is credited with a 3% effective annual interest rate. This second Purchase Payment triggers an increase in the EDCA transfer amount to $3,000. The increased EDCA transfer amount is determined by adding $1,000 (the $6,000 Purchase Payment amount divided by 6) to the current EDCA transfer amount. The $3,000 monthly EDCA transfers will first be applied against the account value in the 1st Payment Bucket until exhausted and then against the Account Value in the 2nd Payment Bucket until it is exhausted. [Enlarge/Download Table] ---- Account Values---- Beg of Amount Allocated Actual EDCA 1st Payment 2nd Payment Month to EDCA EDCA Transfer Account Value Bucket Bucket -------- ------------------ --------------- --------------- ------------- ------------ 1 $12,480 $2,000 $10,480 $10,480 2 $2,000 $ 8,506 $ 8,506 3 $2,000 $ 6,527 $ 6,527 4* $ 6,240 $3,000 $ 9,783 $ 3,543 $6,240 5 $3,000 $ 6,807 $ 552 $6,255 6 $3,000 $ 3,824 0 $3,824 7 $3,000 $ 833 0 $ 833 8 $ 835 0 0 0 * At the beginning of the 4th month, a $6,000 Purchase Payment and a Purchase Payment Credit of $240 is added to the EDCA Account. This amount ($6,240) is allocated to the 2nd Payment Bucket. As described above, this second Purchase Payment causes the monthly EDCA transfer amount to increase from $2,000 to $3,000. Therefore, $3,000 is transferred from the 1st Payment Bucket, leaving $3,543 in the 1st Payment Bucket ($6,527 (1st Payment Bucket account value from the 3rd month) + $16 (3rd month's EDCA interest calculated using the formula shown above) - $3,000 (monthly transfer) = $3,543). The total EDCA Account Value at the beginning of the 4th month is $9,783 ($3,543 in the 1st Payment Bucket + $6,240 in the 2nd Payment Bucket = $9,783). C-1

12-MONTH EDCA The following example demonstrates how the 12-month Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging (EDCA) program operates when multiple Purchase Payments are allocated to the program. The example assumes that you are eligible to receive a Purchase Payment Credit of 4% and that a $24,000 Purchase Payment plus the 4% Purchase Payment Credit of $960 is allocated to the EDCA program at the beginning of the first month and the first transfer of $2,000 also occurs on that date. The $22,960 remaining after the EDCA transfer is allocated to the 1st Payment Bucket, where it is credited with a 3% effective annual interest rate. The EDCA transfer amount of $2,000 is determined by dividing the $24,000 Purchase Payment amount by 12 (the number of months in the EDCA program). Thereafter, a $2,000 transfer is made from the EDCA at the beginning of each month. Amounts remaining in the EDCA account value are accumulated at the EDCA interest rate using the following formula: Account Value 1st Payment Bucket (month 2) = Account Value 1st Payment Bucket (month 1) x (1+EDCA Rate)(1/12) - EDCA Transfer Amount At the beginning of the 6th month, assume you are eligible to receive a Purchase Payment Credit of 4% and a second Purchase Payment of $12,000 plus the 4% Purchase Payment Credit of $480 is allocated to the 2nd Payment Bucket, where it is credited with a 3% effective annual interest rate. This second Purchase Payment triggers an increase in the EDCA transfer amount to $3,000. The increased EDCA transfer amount is determined by adding $1,000 (the $12,000 Purchase Payment amount divided by 12) to the current EDCA transfer amount. The $3,000 monthly EDCA transfers will first be applied against the Account Value in the 1st Payment Bucket until exhausted and then against the Account Value in the 2nd Payment Bucket until it is exhausted. [Enlarge/Download Table] ---- Account Values---- Beg of Amount Allocated Actual EDCA 1st Payment 2nd Payment Month to EDCA EDCA Transfer Account Value Bucket Bucket -------- ------------------ --------------- --------------- ------------- ------------ 1 $24,960 $2,000 $22,960 $22,960 2 $2,000 $21,017 $21,017 3 $2,000 $19,068 $19,068 4 $2,000 $17,115 $17,115 5 $2,000 $15,158 $15,158 6* $12,480 $3,000 $24,675 $12,195 $12,480 7 $3,000 $21,736 $ 9,225 $12,511 8 $3,000 $18,790 $ 6,248 $12,542 9 $3,000 $15,836 $ 3,263 $12,573 10 $3,000 $12,875 $ 271 $12,604 11 $3,000 $ 9,907 0 $ 9,907 12 $3,000 $ 6,931 0 $ 6,931 13 $3,000 $ 3,948 0 $ 3,948 14 $3,000 $ 958 0 $ 958 15 $ 960 0 0 0 * At the beginning of the 6th month, a $12,000 Purchase Payment and a Purchase Payment Credit of $480 is added to the EDCA Account. This amount ($12,480) is allocated to the 2nd Payment Bucket. As described above, this second Purchase Payment causes the monthly EDCA transfer amount to increase from $2,000 to $3,000. Therefore, $3,000 is transferred from the 1st Payment Bucket, leaving $12,195 in the 1st Payment Bucket ($15,158 (1st Payment Bucket Account Value from the 5th month) + $37 (5th month's EDCA interest calculated using the formula shown above) - $3,000 (monthly transfer) = $12,195). The total EDCA Account Value at the beginning of the 6th month is $24,675 ($12,195 in the 1st Payment Bucket + $12,480 in the 2nd Payment Bucket = $24,675). C-2

APPENDIX D GUARANTEED MINIMUM INCOME BENEFIT EXAMPLES The purpose of these examples is to illustrate the operation of the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit. (These examples are for the GMIB Plus II rider and use an annual increase rate of 5%. Depending on the date a contract was issued with the GMIB Plus II rider or the GMIB Plus I rider, the annual increase rate may be higher than 5%. See "Living Benefits - Guaranteed Income Benefits.") The investment results shown are hypothetical and are not representative of past or future performance. Actual investment results may be more or less than those shown and will depend upon a number of factors, including investment allocations and the investment experience of the Investment Portfolios chosen. THE EXAMPLES DO NOT REFLECT THE DEDUCTION OF FEES AND CHARGES, WITHDRAWAL CHARGES OR INCOME TAXES AND TAX PENALITIES. (1) WITHDRAWAL ADJUSTMENTS TO ANNUAL INCREASE AMOUNT Dollar-for-dollar adjustment when withdrawal is less than or equal to 5% of --------------------------------------------------------------------------- the Annual Increase Amount from the prior contract anniversary -------------------------------------------------------------- Assume the initial Purchase Payment is $100,000 and the GMIB Plus II is selected. Assume that during the first Contract Year, $5,000 is withdrawn. Because the withdrawal is less than or equal to 5% of the Annual Increase Amount from the prior contract anniversary, the Annual Increase Amount is reduced by the withdrawal on a dollar-for-dollar basis to $100,000 ($100,000 increased by 5% per year, compounded annually, less $5,000 = $100,000). Assuming no other Purchase Payments or withdrawals are made before the second contract anniversary, the Annual Increase Amount at the second contract anniversary will be $105,000 ($100,000 increased by 5% per year, compounded annually). Proportionate adjustment when withdrawal is greater than 5% of the Annual ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Increase Amount from the prior contract anniversary --------------------------------------------------- Assume the initial Purchase Payment is $100,000 and the GMIB Plus II is selected. Assume the Account Value at the first contract anniversary is $100,000. The Annual Increase Amount at the first contract anniversary will be $105,000 ($100,000 increased by 5% per year, compounded annually). Assume that on the first contract anniversary, $10,000 is withdrawn (leaving an account balance of $90,000). Because the withdrawal is greater than 5% of the Annual Increase Amount from the prior contract anniversary, the Annual Increase Amount is reduced by the value of the Annual Increase Amount immediately prior to the withdrawal ($105,000) multiplied by the percentage reduction in the Account Value attributed to that entire withdrawal: 10% (the $10,000 withdrawal reduced the $100,000 Account Value by 10%). Therefore, the new Annual Increase Amount is $94,500 ($105,000 x 10% = $10,500; $105,000 - $10,500 = $94,500). (If multiple withdrawals are made during a Contract Year - for example, two $5,000 withdrawals instead of one $10,000 withdrawal - and those withdrawals total more than 5% of the Annual Increase Amount from the prior contract anniversary, the Annual Increase Amount is reduced proportionately by each of the withdrawals made during that Contract Year and there will be no dollar-for-dollar withdrawal adjustment for the Contract Year.) Assuming no other Purchase Payments or withdrawals are made before the second contract anniversary, the Annual Increase Amount at the second contract anniversary will be $99,225 ($94,500 increased by 5% per year, compounded annually). (2) THE ANNUAL INCREASE AMOUNT Example ------- Assume the Owner of the contract is a male, age 55 at issue, and he elects the GMIB Plus II rider. He makes an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000, and makes no additional Purchase Payments or partial withdrawals. On the contract issue date, the Annual Increase Amount is equal to $100,000 (the initial Purchase Payment). The Annual Increase Amount is calculated at each contract anniversary (through the contract anniversary prior to the Owner's 91st birthday). At the tenth contract anniversary, when the Owner is age 65, the Annual Increase Amount is $162,889 ($100,000 increased by 5% per year, D-1
N-4144th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 144th
compounded annually). See section (3) below for an example of the calculation of the Highest Anniversary Value. Graphic Example: Determining a value upon which future income payments can -------------------------------------------------------------------------- be based -------- Assume that you make an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. Prior to annuitization, your Account Value fluctuates above and below your initial Purchase Payment depending on the investment performance of the investment options you selected. Your Purchase Payments accumulate at the annual increase rate of 5%, until the contract anniversary prior to the contract Owner's 91st birthday. Your Purchase Payments are also adjusted for any withdrawals (including any applicable withdrawal charge) made during this period. The line (your Purchase Payments accumulated at 5% a year adjusted for withdrawals and charges "the Annual Increase Amount") is the value upon which future income payments can be based. [GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE] Graphic Example: Determining your guaranteed lifetime income stream ------------------------------------------------------------------- Assume that you decide to annuitize your contract and begin taking Annuity Payments after 20 years. In this example, your Annual Increase Amount is higher than the Highest Anniversary Value and will produce a higher income benefit. Accordingly, the Annual Increase Amount will be applied to the annuity pay-out rates in the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit Annuity Table to determine your lifetime Annuity Payments. THE INCOME BASE IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR CASH WITHDRAWALS AND IS ONLY USED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE GUARANTEED MINIMUM INCOME BENEFIT PAYMENT AND THE CHARGE FOR THE BENEFIT. [GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE] (In contrast to the GMIB Plus II rider, for the GMIB II rider, Purchase Payments accumulate at the annual increase rate of 5% until the contract anniversary on or immediately after the contract Owner's 85th birthday.) (3) THE HIGHEST ANNIVERSARY VALUE (HAV) Example ------- Assume, as in the example in section (2) above, the Owner of the contract is a male, age 55 at issue, and he elects the GMIB Plus II rider. He makes an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000, and makes no additional Purchase Payments or partial withdrawals. On the contract issue date, the Highest Anniversary Value is equal to $100,000 (the initial Purchase Payment). Assume the Account Value on the first contract anniversary is $108,000 due to good market performance. Because the Account Value is greater than the Highest Anniversary Value ($100,000), the Highest Anniversary Value is set equal to the Account Value ($108,000). Assume the Account Value on the second contract anniversary is $102,000 due to poor market performance. Because the Account Value is less than the Highest Anniversary Value ($108,000), the Highest Anniversary Value remains $108,000. Assume this process is repeated on each contract anniversary until the tenth contract anniversary, when the Account Value is $155,000 and the Highest Anniversary Value is $150,000. The Highest Anniversary Value is set equal to the Account Value ($155,000). See section (4) below for an example of the exercise of the GMIB Plus II rider. Graphic Example: Determining a value upon which future income payments can -------------------------------------------------------------------------- be based -------- Prior to annuitization, the Highest Anniversary Value begins to lock in growth. The Highest Anniversary Value is adjusted upward each contract anniversary if D-2
N-4145th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 145th
the Account Value at that time is greater than the amount of the current Highest Anniversary Value. Upward adjustments will continue until the contract anniversary immediately prior to the contract Owner's 81st birthday. The Highest Anniversary Value also is adjusted for any withdrawals taken (including any applicable withdrawal charge) or any additional payments made. The Highest Anniversary Value line is the value upon which future income payments can be based. [GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE] Graphic Example: Determining your guaranteed lifetime income stream ------------------------------------------------------------------- Assume that you decide to annuitize your contract and begin taking Annuity Payments after 20 years. In this example, the Highest Anniversary Value is higher than the Account Value. Accordingly, the Highest Anniversary Value will be applied to the annuity payout rates in the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit Annuity Table to determine your lifetime Annuity Payments. THE INCOME BASE IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR CASH WITHDRAWALS AND IS ONLY USED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE GUARANTEED MINIMUM INCOME BENEFIT PAYMENT AND THE CHARGE FOR THE BENEFIT. [GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE] (4) PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER Example ------- Continuing the examples in sections (2) and (3) above, assume the Owner chooses to exercise the GMIB Plus II rider at the tenth contract anniversary and elects a life annuity with 5 years of Annuity Payments guaranteed. Because the Annual Increase Amount ($162,889) is greater than the Highest Anniversary Value ($155,000), the Annual Increase Amount ($162,889) is used as the Income Base. The Income Base of $162,889 is applied to the GMIB Annuity Table. This yields Annuity Payments of $591 per month for life, with a minimum of 5 years guaranteed. (If the same Owner were instead age 70, the Income Base of $162,889 would yield monthly payments of $673; if the Owner were age 75, the Income Base of $162,889 would yield monthly payments of $785.) The above example does not take into account the impact of premium and other taxes. As with other pay-out types, the amount you receive as an income payment depends on the income type you select, your age, and (where permitted by state law) your sex. THE INCOME BASE IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR CASH WITHDRAWALS AND IS ONLY USED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE GUARANTEED MINIMUM INCOME BENEFIT PAYMENT AND THE CHARGE FOR THE BENEFIT. D-3
N-4146th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 146th
Graphic Example --------------- Prior to annuitization, the two calculations (the Annual Increase Amount and the Highest Anniversary Value) work together to protect your future income. Upon annuitization of the contract, you will receive income payments for life and the Income Bases and the Account Value will cease to exist. Also, the GMIB Plus II may only be exercised no later than the contract anniversary prior to the contract Owner's 91st birthday, after a 10 year waiting period, and then only within a 30 day period following the contract anniversary. (The GMIB II may only be exercised no later than the contract anniversary on or following the contract Owner's 85th birthday, after a 10 year waiting period, and then only within a 30 day period following the contract anniversary.) [GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE] With the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit, the Income Base is applied to special, conservative Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit annuity purchase factors, which are guaranteed at the time the contract is issued. However, if then-current annuity purchase factors applied to the Account Value would produce a greater amount of income, then you will receive the greater amount. In other words, when you annuitize your contract you will receive whatever amount produces the greatest income payment. Therefore, if your Account Value would provide greater income than would the amount provided under the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit, you will have paid for the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit although it was never used. [GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE] (5) THE GUARANTEED PRINCIPAL OPTION - GMIB PLUS II Assume your initial Purchase Payment is $100,000 and no withdrawals are taken. Assume that the Account Value at the 10th contract anniversary is $50,000 due to poor market performance, and you exercise the Guaranteed Principal Option at this time. The effects of exercising the Guaranteed Principal Option are: 1) A Guaranteed Principal Adjustment of $100,000 - $50,000 = $50,000 is added to the Account Value 30 days after the 10th contract anniversary bringing the Account Value back up to $100,000. 2) The GMIB Plus II rider and rider fee terminates as of the date that the adjustment is made to the Account Value; the variable annuity contract continues. 3) The GMIB Plus II allocation and transfer restrictions terminate as of the date that the adjustment is made to the Account Value. D-4
N-4147th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 147th
[GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE] *Withdrawals reduce the original Purchase Payment (I.E. those payments credited within 120 days of contract issue date) proportionately and therefore, may have a significant impact on the amount of the Guaranteed Principal Adjustment. (6) THE OPTIONAL STEP-UP: AUTOMATIC ANNUAL STEP-UP - GMIB PLUS II Assume your initial investment is $100,000 and no withdrawals are taken. The Annual Increase Amount increases to $105,000 on the first anniversary ($100,000 increased by 5% per year, compounded annually). Assume your Account Value at the first contract anniversary is $110,000 due to good market performance, and you elected Optional Step-Ups to occur under the Automatic Annual Step-Up feature prior to the first contract anniversary. Because your Account Value is higher than your Annual Increase Amount, an Optional Step-Up will automatically occur. The effect of the Optional Step-Up is: (1) The Annual Increase Amount automatically resets from $105,000 to $110,000; (2) The 10-year waiting period to annuitize the contract under the GMIB Plus II is reset to 10 years from the first contract anniversary; (3) The GMIB Plus II rider charge may be reset to the fee we would charge new contract Owners for the same GMIB Plus II rider at that time; and (4) The Guaranteed Principal Option can still be elected on the 10th contract anniversary. The Annual Increase Amount increases to $115,500 on the second anniversary ($110,000 increased by 5% per year, compounded annually). Assume your Account Value at the second contract anniversary is $120,000 due to good market performance, and you have not discontinued the Automatic Annual Step-Up feature. Because your Account Value is higher than your Annual Increase Amount, an Optional Step-Up will automatically occur. The effect of the Optional Step-Up is: (1) The Annual Increase Amount automatically resets from $115,500 to $120,000; (2) The 10-year waiting period to annuitize the contract under the GMIB Plus II is reset to 10 years from the second contract anniversary; (3) The GMIB Plus II rider charge may be reset to the fee we would charge new contract Owners for the same GMIB Plus II rider at that time; and (4) The Guaranteed Principal Option can still be elected on the 10th contract anniversary. Assume your Account Value increases by $10,000 at each contract anniversary in years three through seven. At each contract anniversary, your Account Value would exceed the Annual Increase Amount and an Optional Step-Up would automatically occur (provided you had not discontinued the Automatic Annual Step-Up feature, and other requirements were met). The effect of each Optional Step-Up is: (1) The Annual Increase Amount automatically resets to the higher Account Value; (2) The 10-year waiting period to annuitize the contract under the GMIB Plus II is reset to 10 years from the date of the Optional Step-Up; (3) The GMIB Plus II rider charge may be reset to the fee we would charge new contract Owners for the same GMIB Plus II rider at that time; and (4) The Guaranteed Principal Option can still be elected on the 10th contract anniversary. After the seventh contract anniversary, the initial Automatic Annual Step-Up election expires. Assume you do not make a new election of the Automatic Annual Step-Up. The Annual Increase Amount increases to $178,500 on the eighth anniversary ($170,000 increased by 5% per year, compounded annually). Assume your Account Value at the eighth contract anniversary is $160,000 due to poor market performance. An Optional Step-Up is NOT permitted because your Account Value is lower than your Annual Increase Amount. However, because the Optional Step-Up has locked-in previous gains, the Annual Increase Amount remains at $178,500 despite poor market performance, and, provided the rider continues in effect, will continue to grow at 5% annually (subject to D-5

adjustments for additional Purchase Payments and/or withdrawals) through the contract anniversary prior to your 91st birthday. Also, please note: (1) The 10-year waiting period to annuitize the contract under the GMIB Plus II remains at the 17th contract anniversary (10 years from the date of the last Optional Step-Up); (2) The GMIB Plus II rider charge remains at its current level; and (3) The Guaranteed Principal Option can still be elected on the 10th contract anniversary.

APPENDIX E GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT EXAMPLES The purpose of these examples is to illustrate the operation of the Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit. (Examples A and B are for the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I and Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II riders. Examples C and D are for a previous version of the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II rider. Examples E through L are for Enhanced GWB and GWB I.) The investment results shown are hypothetical and are not representative of past or future performance. Actual investment results may be more or less than those shown and will depend upon a number of factors, including investment allocations and the investment experience of the Investment Portfolios chosen. THE EXAMPLES DO NOT REFLECT THE DEDUCTION OF FEES AND CHARGES, WITHDRAWAL CHARGES OR INCOME TAXES AND TAX PENALTIES. The Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit does not establish or guarantee an Account Value or minimum return for any Investment Portfolio. The Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount and the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount (under the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee) and the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount and the Benefit Base (under the Enhanced GWB and GWB I) cannot be taken as a lump sum. A. Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee 1. When Withdrawals Do Not Exceed the Annual Benefit Payment Assume that a contract had an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. The initial Account Value would be $100,000, the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount would be $100,000, the initial Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount would be $100,000 and the initial Annual Benefit Payment would be $5,000 ($100,000 x 5%). Assume that $5,000 is withdrawn each year, beginning before the contract Owner attains age 59 1/2. The Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount is reduced by $5,000 each year as withdrawals are taken (the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount is not reduced by these withdrawals). The Annual Benefit Payment of $5,000 is guaranteed to be received until the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount is depleted, even if the Account Value is reduced to zero. If the first withdrawal is taken after age 59 1/2, then the Annual Benefit Payment of $5,000 is guaranteed to be received for the Owner's lifetime, even if the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount and the Account Value are reduced to zero. (Under the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II rider, if the contract Owner makes the first withdrawal during a Contract Year in which the Owner (or older Joint Owner, or Annuitant if the Owner is a non-natural person) attains or will attain age 76, the Withdrawal Rate is 6% instead of 5% and the Annual Benefit Payment is $6,000.)

When Withdrawals Do Exceed the Annual Benefit Payment a. Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II - Proportionate Reduction Assume that a contract with the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II rider had an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. The initial Account Value would be $100,000, the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount would be $100,000, the initial E-1

Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount would be $100,000 and the initial Annual Benefit Payment would be $5,000 ($100,000 x 5%). (If the contract Owner makes the first withdrawal during a Contract Year in which the Owner attains or will attain age 76, the Withdrawal Rate is 6% instead of 5% and the initial Annual Benefit Payment would be $6,000. For the purposes of this example, assume the contract Owner makes the first withdrawal before the Contract Year in which the Owner attains or will attain age 76 and the Withdrawal Rate is therefore 5%.) Assume that the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount is reduced to $95,000 due to a withdrawal of $5,000 in the first year. Assume the Account Value was further reduced to $80,000 at year two due to poor market performance. If you withdrew $10,000 at this time, your Account Value would be reduced to $80,000 - $10,000 = $70,000. Since the withdrawal of $10,000 exceeded the Annual Benefit Payment of $5,000, there would be a proportional reduction to the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount and the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount. The proportional reduction is equal to the withdrawal ($10,000) divided by the Account Value before the withdrawal ($80,000), or 12.5%. The Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount after the withdrawal would be $83,125 ($95,000 reduced by 12.5%). This new Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount of $83,125 would now be the amount guaranteed to be available to be withdrawn over time. The Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount would be reduced to $87,500 ($100,000 reduced by 12.5%). The Annual Benefit Payment would be set equal to 5% x $87,500 = $4,375. (Assume instead that you withdrew $10,000 during year two in two separate withdrawals of $4,000 and $6,000. Since the first withdrawal of $4,000 did not exceed the Annual Benefit Payment of $5,000, there would be no proportional reduction to the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount and the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount at the time of that withdrawal. The second withdrawal ($6,000), however, results in cumulative withdrawals of $10,000 during year two and causes a proportional reduction to the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount and the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount. The proportional reduction would be equal to the entire amount of the second withdrawal ($6,000) divided by the Account Value before that withdrawal.) b. Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I - Reduction to Account Value Assume that a contract with the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I rider had an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. The initial Account Value would be $100,000, the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount would be $100,000, the initial Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount would be $100,000 and the initial Annual Benefit Payment would be $5,000 ($100,000 x 5%). Assume that the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount is reduced to $95,000 due to a withdrawal of $5,000 in the first year. Assume the Account Value was further reduced to $75,000 at year two due to poor market performance. If you withdrew $10,000 at this time, your Account Value would be reduced to $75,000 - $10,000 = $65,000. Your Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount would be reduced to $95,000 - $10,000 = $85,000. Since the withdrawal of $10,000 exceeded the Annual Benefit Payment of $5,000 and the resulting Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount would be greater than the resulting Account Value, there would be an additional reduction to the Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount. The Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount after the withdrawal would be set equal to the Account Value after the withdrawal ($65,000). This new Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount of $65,000 would now be the amount guaranteed to be available to be withdrawn over time. The Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount would also be reduced to $65,000. The Annual Benefit Payment would be set equal to 5% x $65,000 = $3,250. B. Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II - Automatic Annual Step-Ups (No Withdrawals) Assume that a contract with the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II rider had an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000 and the contract Owner was age 67 at the time the contract was issued. Assume that no withdrawals are taken. At the first contract anniversary, assume the Account Value has increased to $110,000 due to good market performance. The Automatic Annual Step-Up will increase the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount from $100,000 to $110,000 and reset the Annual Benefit Payment to $5,500 ($110,000 x 5%). E-2
N-4151st Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 151st
At the second contract anniversary, assume the Account Value has increased to $120,000 due to good market performance. The Automatic Annual Step-Up will increase the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount from $110,000 to $120,000 and reset the Annual Benefit Payment to $6,000 ($120,000 x 5%). Assume that on the third through the eighth contract anniversaries the Account Value does not exceed the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount due to poor market performance. No Automatic Annual Step-Up will take place on the third through the eighth contract anniversaries and the Annual Benefit Payment will remain $6,000 ($120,000 x 5%). Assume the Account Value at the ninth contract anniversary has increased to $150,000 due to good market performance. The Automatic Annual Step-Up will increase the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount from $120,000 to $150,000. Because the contract Owner is now age 76 and did not take any withdrawals before the Contract Year in which he or she attained age 76, the Withdrawal Rate will also reset from 5% to 6%. The Annual Benefit Payment will be reset to $9,000 ($150,000 x 6%). C. For Contracts Issued Before July 13, 2009 - Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II - Compounding Income Amount Assume that a contract issued before July 13, 2009 with the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II rider had an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. The initial Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount would be $100,000, the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount would be $100,000, and the Annual Benefit Payment would be $5,000 ($100,000 x 5%). (If the contract Owner makes the first withdrawal during a Contract Year in which the Owner attains or will attain age 76, the Withdrawal Rate is 6% instead of 5% and the Annual Benefit Payment would be $6,000. For the purposes of this example, assume the contract Owner makes the first withdrawal before the Contract Year in which the Owner attains or will attain age 76 and the Withdrawal Rate is therefore 5%.) The Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount will increase by 7.25% of the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount on each contract anniversary until the earlier of the second withdrawal or the 10th contract anniversary. The Annual Benefit Payment will be recalculated as 5% of the new Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount. If the second withdrawal is taken in the first Contract Year, then there would be no increase: the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount would remain at $100,000 and the Annual Benefit Payment will remain at $5,000 ($100,000 x 5%). If the second withdrawal is taken in the second Contract Year, then the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount would increase to $107,250 ($100,000 x 107.25%), and the Annual Benefit Payment would increase to $5,362 ($107,250 x 5%). If the second withdrawal is taken in the third Contract Year, then the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount would increase to $115,025 ($107,250 x 107.25%), and the Annual Benefit Payment would increase to $5,751 ($115,025 x 5%).

If the second withdrawal is taken after the 10th Contract Year, then the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount would increase to $201,360 (the initial $100,000, increased by 7.25% per year, compounded annually for 10 years), and the Annual Benefit Payment would increase to $10,068 ($201,360 x 5%). (The Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee I rider has a 5% Compounding Income Amount -- and the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount is increased by 5% on each contract anniversary until the earlier of the date of the first withdrawal or the tenth ----- contract anniversary.)

For Contracts Issued Before July 13, 2009 - Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II - Automatic Annual Step-Ups and 7.25% Compounding Income Amount (No Withdrawals) Assume that a contract issued before July 13, 2009 with the Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee II rider had an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. Assume that no withdrawals are taken. At the first contract anniversary, assuming that no withdrawals are taken, the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount is increased to $107,250 ($100,000 increased by 7.25%, compounded annually). Assume the Account Value has increased to $110,000 at the first contract anniversary due to good market performance. The Automatic Annual Step-Up will increase the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount from $107,250 to $110,000 and reset the Annual Benefit Payment to $5,500 ($110,000 x 5%). At the second contract anniversary, assuming that no withdrawals are taken, the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount is increased to $117,975 ($110,000 increased by 7.25%, compounded annually). Assume the Account Value has increased to $120,000 at the second contract anniversary due to good market performance. The Automatic Annual Step-Up will increase the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount from $117,975 to $120,000 and reset the Annual Benefit Payment to $6,000 ($120,000 x 5%). Assuming that no withdrawals are taken, each year the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount would increase by 7.25%, compounded annually, from the second contract anniversary through the ninth contract anniversary, and at that point would be equal to $195,867. Assume that during these Contract Years the Account Value does not exceed the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount due to poor market performance. Assume the Account Value at the ninth contract anniversary has E-4

increased to $200,000 due to good market performance. The Automatic Annual Step-Up will increase the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount from $195,867 to $200,000 and reset the Annual Benefit Payment to $10,000 ($200,000 x 5%). At the 10th contract anniversary, assuming that no withdrawals are taken, the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount is increased to $214,500 ($200,000 increased by 7.25%, compounded annually). Assume the Account Value is less than $214,500. There is no Automatic Annual Step-Up since the Account Value is below the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount; however, due to the 7.25% increase in the Total Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount, the Annual Benefit Payment is increased to $10,725 ($214,500 x 5%). [GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE] E. Enhanced Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit and GWB I - How Withdrawals Affect the Benefit Base 1. An initial Purchase Payment is made of $100,000. The initial Benefit Base would be $105,000 ($100,000 + 5% GWB Bonus Amount). Assume that the Account Value grew to $110,000 because of market performance. If a subsequent withdrawal of $10,000 were made, the Benefit Base would be reduced to $105,000 - $10,000 = $95,000. Assume the withdrawal of $10,000 exceeded the Annual Benefit Payment. Since the Account Value of $100,000 exceeds the Benefit Base of $95,000, no further reduction to the Benefit Base is made. 2. An initial Purchase Payment is made of $100,000. The initial Benefit Base would be $105,000. Assume that the Account Value shrank to $90,000 because of market performance. If a subsequent withdrawal of $10,000 were made, the Benefit Base would be reduced to $95,000 and the Account Value would be reduced to $80,000. Assume the withdrawal of $10,000 exceeded the Annual Benefit Payment. Since the Account Value of $80,000 is less than the Benefit Base of $95,000, a further reduction of the $15,000 difference is made, bringing the Benefit Base to $80,000. F. Enhanced Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit and GWB I - How Withdrawals and Subsequent Purchase Payments Affect the Annual Benefit Payment An initial Purchase Payment is made of $100,000. The initial Benefit Base would be $105,000 and the initial Annual Benefit Payment would be $7,350 ($105,000 x 7%). If $7,000 withdrawals were then made for each of the next five years, the Benefit Base would be decreased to $70,000. If a subsequent Purchase Payment of $10,000 were made the next day, the Benefit Base would be increased to $70,000 + $10,000 + (5% x $10,000) = $80,500. The Annual Benefit Payment would be reset to the greater of a) $7,350 (the Annual Benefit Payment before the second Purchase Payment) and b) $5,635 (7% multiplied by the Benefit Base after the second Purchase Payment). In this case, the Annual Benefit Payment would remain at $7,350. G. Enhanced Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit and GWB I - How Withdrawals Affect the Annual Benefit Payment 1. An initial Purchase Payment is made of $100,000. The initial Benefit Base would be $105,000 and the initial Annual E-5

Benefit Payment would be $7,350. If a withdrawal of $9,000 was made the next day, and negative market performance reduced the Account Value by an additional $1,000, the Account Value would be reduced to $100,000 - $9,000 - $1,000 = $90,000. Since the withdrawal of $9,000 exceeded the Annual Benefit Payment of $7,350, the Annual Benefit Payment would be reset to the lower of a) $7,350 (the Annual Benefit Payment before the withdrawal) and b) $6,300 (7% multiplied by the Account Value after the withdrawal). In this case the Annual Benefit Payment would be reset to $6,300. 2. An initial Purchase Payment is made of $100,000. The initial Benefit Base would be $105,000 and the initial Annual Benefit Payment would be $7,350. If a withdrawal of $10,000 was made two years later after the Account Value had increased to $150,000, the Account Value would be reduced to $140,000. Since the withdrawal of $10,000 exceeded the Annual Benefit Payment of $7,350, the Annual Benefit Payment would be reset to the lower of a) $7,350 (the Annual Benefit Payment before the withdrawal) and b) $9,800 (7% multiplied by the Account Value after the withdrawal). In this case the Annual Benefit Payment would remain at $7,350. H. Enhanced Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit and GWB I - How Withdrawals and Subsequent Purchase Payments Affect the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount An initial Purchase Payment is made of $100,000 and the initial Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount and initial Benefit Base would both be $105,000. Assume that over the next five years, withdrawals reduced the Benefit Base to $70,000. If a subsequent Purchase Payment of $10,000 was made, the Benefit Base would be increased to $70,000 + $10,000 + (5% x $10,000) = $80,500. The Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount would be reset to the greater of a) $105,000 (the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount before the second Purchase Payment) and b) $80,500 (the Benefit Base after the second Purchase Payment). In this case, the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount would remain at $105,000. E-6

I. Enhanced Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit and GWB I - Putting It All Together 1. When Withdrawals Do Not Exceed the Annual Benefit Payment An initial Purchase Payment is made of $100,000. The initial Benefit Base would be $105,000, the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount would be $105,000, and the Annual Benefit Payment would be $7,350. Assume that the Benefit Base was reduced to $82,950 due to 3 years of withdrawing $7,350 each year and assume that the Account Value was further reduced to $50,000 at year four due to poor market performance. If you withdrew $7,350 at this time, your Account Value would be reduced to $50,000 - $7,350 = $42,650. Your Benefit Base would be reduced to $82,950 - $7,350 = $75,600. Since the withdrawal of $7,350 did not exceed the Annual Benefit Payment, there would be no additional reduction to the Benefit Base. The Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount would remain at $105,000 and the Annual Benefit Payment would remain at $7,350.

2. When Withdrawals Do Exceed the Annual Benefit Payment An initial Purchase Payment is made of $100,000. The initial Benefit Base would be $105,000, the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount would be $105,000, and the Annual Benefit Payment would be $7,350. Assume that the Benefit Base was reduced to $82,950 due to 3 years of withdrawing $7,350 each year. Assume the Account Value was further reduced to $50,000 at year four due to poor market performance. If you withdrew $10,000 at this time, your Account Value would be reduced to $50,000 - $10,000 = $40,000. Your Benefit Base would be reduced to $82,950 - $10,000 = $72,950. Since the withdrawal of $10,000 exceeded the Annual Benefit Payment of $7,350 and the resulting Benefit Base would be greater than the resulting Account Value, there would be an additional reduction to the Benefit Base. The Benefit Base after the withdrawal would be set equal to the Account Value after the withdrawal = $40,000. The Annual Benefit Payment would be set equal to the lesser of $7,350 and 7% x $40,000 = $2,800. The Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount would remain at $105,000, but this amount now no longer would be guaranteed to be received over time. The new Benefit Base of $40,000 would be now the amount guaranteed to be available to be withdrawn over time.

Enhanced GWB - How the Optional Reset Works (may be elected prior to age 81) Assume that a contract had an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000 and the fee is 0.55%. The initial Account Value would be $100,000, the initial Benefit Base would be $105,000, the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount would be $105,000 and the Annual Benefit Payment would be $7,350 (assuming you began withdrawing in your first year). The Account Value on the third contract anniversary grew due to market performance to $148,350. Assume the fee remains at 0.55%. If an Optional Reset is elected or Automatic Annual Resets are in effect, the charge would remain at 0.55%, the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount and the Benefit Base would both be reset to $148,350, and the Annual Benefit Payment would become 7% x $148,350 = $10,385. The Account Value on the sixth contract anniversary grew due to market performance to $179,859. Assume the fee has been increased to 0.60%. If an Optional Reset is elected or Automatic Annual Resets are in effect, the charge would increase to 0.60%, the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount and the Benefit Base would both be reset to $179,859, and the Annual Benefit Payment would become 7% x $179,859 = $12,590.

The Account Value on the ninth contract anniversary grew due to market performance to $282,582. Assume the fee is still 0.60%. If an Optional Reset is elected or Automatic Annual Resets are in effect, the charge would remain at 0.60%, the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount and the Benefit Base would both be reset to $282,582, and the Annual Benefit Payment would become 7% x $282,582 = $19,781. The period of time over which the Annual Benefit Payment may be taken would be lengthened.

Enhanced GWB - How a One-Time Optional Reset May Increase the Benefit Base While Decreasing the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount and Annual Benefit Payment Assume that a contract had an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. The initial Account Value would be $100,000, the initial Benefit Base would be $105,000, the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount would be $105,000 and the Annual Benefit Payment would be $7,350. Assume that the Benefit Base is reduced to $70,000 due to 5 years of withdrawing $7,000 each year, but also assume that, due to positive market performance, the Account Value at the end of 5 years is $80,000. If a one-time Optional Reset is elected, the Benefit Base would be reset from $70,000 to $80,000, the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount would be reduced from $105,000 to $80,000, and the Annual Benefit Payment would be reduced from $7,350 to $5,600 ($80,000 x 7%). (If you elect Automatic Annual Resets, a reset will not occur if the Account Value is lower than the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount.) Under these circumstances, the one-time Optional Reset increases the Benefit Base (the remaining amount of money you are guaranteed to receive) by $10,000, but also reduces the Annual Benefit Payment, thereby lengthening the period of time over which you will receive the money. This Optional Reset also reduces the Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount, against which the GWB rider charge is calculated. If the GWB rider charge fee rate does not increase in connection with the Optional Reset, the reduced Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount will result in a reduction in the amount of the annual GWB rider charge.

L. Enhanced GWB and GWB I - Annual Benefit Payment Continuing When Account Value Reaches Zero Assume that a contract had an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. The initial Account Value would be $100,000, the initial Benefit Base would be $105,000 and the initial Annual Benefit Payment would be $7,350 ($105,000 x 7%). Assume that the Benefit Base was reduced to $31,500 due to 10 years of withdrawing $7,350 each year and assume that the Account Value was further reduced to $0 at year 11 due to poor market performance. We would commence making payments to you (equal, on an annual basis, to the Annual Benefit Payment) until the Benefit Base is exhausted. In this situation (assuming monthly payments), there would be 51 payments of $612.50 and a final payment of $262.50, which, in sum, would deplete the $31,500 Benefit Base. The total amount withdrawn over the life of the contract would then be $105,000.

APPENDIX F DEATH BENEFIT EXAMPLES The purpose of these examples is to illustrate the operation of the Principal Protection death benefit, the Annual Step-Up death benefit, the Compounded-Plus death benefit, and the Enhanced Death Benefit I. The investment results shown are hypothetical and are not representative of past or future performance. Actual investment results may be more or less than those shown and will depend upon a number of factors, including the investment allocation made by a contract Owner and the investment experience of the Investment Portfolios chosen. THE EXAMPLES DO NOT REFLECT THE DEDUCTION OF FEES AND CHARGES, WITHDRAWAL CHARGES OR INCOME TAXES AND TAX PENALTIES. PRINCIPAL PROTECTION DEATH BENEFIT The purpose of this example is to show how partial withdrawals reduce the Principal Protection death benefit proportionately by the percentage reduction in Account Value attributable to each partial withdrawal.

ENHANCED DEATH BENEFIT I The purpose of these examples is to illustrate the operation of the Death Benefit Base under the Enhanced Death Benefit I rider. (1) WITHDRAWAL ADJUSTMENTS TO ANNUAL INCREASE AMOUNT Dollar-for-dollar adjustment when withdrawal is less than or equal to 5% of --------------------------------------------------------------------------- the Annual Increase Amount from the prior contract anniversary -------------------------------------------------------------- Assume the initial Purchase Payment is $100,000 and the Enhanced Death Benefit I is selected. Assume that during the first Contract Year, $5,000 is withdrawn. Because the withdrawal is less than or equal to 5% of the Annual Increase Amount from the prior contract anniversary, the Annual Increase Amount is reduced by the withdrawal on a dollar-for-dollar basis to $100,000 ($100,000 increased by 5% per year, compounded annually, less $5,000 = $100,000). Assuming no other Purchase Payments or withdrawals are made before the second contract anniversary, the Annual Increase Amount at the second contract anniversary will be $105,000 ($100,000 increased by 5% per year, compounded annually). Proportionate adjustment when withdrawal is greater than 5% of the Annual ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Increase Amount from the prior contract anniversary --------------------------------------------------- Assume the initial Purchase Payment is $100,000 and the Enhanced Death Benefit I is selected. Assume the Account Value at the first contract anniversary is $100,000. The Annual Increase Amount at the first contract anniversary will be $105,000 ($100,000 increased by 5% per year, compounded annually). Assume that on the first contract anniversary, $10,000 is withdrawn (leaving an account balance of $90,000). Because the withdrawal is greater than 5% of the Annual Increase Amount from the prior contract anniversary, the Annual Increase Amount is reduced by the value of the Annual Increase Amount immediately prior to the withdrawal ($105,000) multiplied by the percentage reduction in the Account Value attributed to that withdrawal (10%). Therefore, the new Annual Increase Amount is $94,500 ($105,000 x 10% = $10,500; $105,000 - $10,500 = $94,500). Assuming no other Purchase Payments or withdrawals are made before the second contract anniversary, the Annual Increase Amount at the second contract anniversary will be $99,225 ($94,500 increased by 5% per year, compounded annually). (For contracts issued with the Enhanced Death Benefit I rider based on applications and necessary information received in good order at our Annuity Service Center on or before May 1, 2009, the annual increase rate is 6% per year.) (2) THE ANNUAL INCREASE AMOUNT Example ------- Assume the contract Owner is a male, age 55 at issue, and he elects the Enhanced Death Benefit I rider. He makes an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000, and makes no additional Purchase Payments or partial withdrawals. On the contract issue date, the Annual Increase Amount is equal to $100,000 (the initial Purchase Payment). The Annual Increase Amount is calculated at each contract anniversary (through the contract anniversary on or following the contract Owner's 90th birthday). At the tenth contract anniversary, when the contract Owner is age 65, the Annual Increase Amount is $162,889 ($100,000 increased by 5% per year, compounded annually). See section (3) below for an example of the calculation of the Highest Anniversary Value. Determining a death benefit based on the Annual Increase Amount --------------------------------------------------------------- Assume that you make an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. Prior to annuitization, your Account Value fluctuates above and below your initial Purchase Payment depending on the investment performance of the subaccounts you selected. The Annual Increase Amount, however, accumulates an amount equal to your Purchase Payments at the Annual Increase Rate of 5% per year, until the contract anniversary on or following the contract Owner's 90th birthday. The Annual Increase Amount is also adjusted for any withdrawals (including any applicable withdrawal charge) made during this period. The Annual Increase Amount is the value upon which a future death benefit amount can be based (if it is greater than the Highest Anniversary Value and Account Value on the date the death benefit amount is determined). F-4

(3) THE HIGHEST ANNIVERSARY VALUE (HAV) Example ------- Assume, as in the example in section (2) above, the contract Owner is a male, age 55 at issue, and he elects the Enhanced Death Benefit I rider. He makes an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000, and makes no additional Purchase Payments or partial withdrawals. On the contract issue date, the Highest Anniversary Value is equal to $100,000 (the initial Purchase Payment). Assume the Account Value on the first contract anniversary is $108,000 due to good market performance. Because the Account Value is greater than the Highest Anniversary Value ($100,000), the Highest Anniversary Value is set equal to the Account Value ($108,000). Assume the Account Value on the second contract anniversary is $102,000 due to poor market performance. Because the Account Value is less than the Highest Anniversary Value ($108,000), the Highest Anniversary Value remains $108,000. Assume this process is repeated on each contract anniversary until the tenth contract anniversary, when the Account Value is $155,000 and the Highest Anniversary Value is $150,000. The Highest Anniversary Value is set equal to the Account Value ($155,000). Determining a death benefit based on the Highest Anniversary Value ------------------------------------------------------------------ Prior to annuitization, the Highest Anniversary Value begins to lock in growth. The Highest Anniversary Value is adjusted upward each contract anniversary if the Account Value at that time is greater than the amount of the current Highest Anniversary Value. Upward adjustments will continue until the contract anniversary immediately prior to the contract Owner's 81st birthday. The Highest Anniversary Value also is adjusted for any withdrawals taken (including any applicable withdrawal charge) or any additional payments made. The Highest Anniversary Value is the value upon which a future death benefit amount can be based (if it is greater than the Annual Increase Amount and Account Value on the date the death benefit amount is determined). (4) PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER Example ------- Continuing the examples in sections (2) and (3) above, assume the contract Owner dies after the tenth contract anniversary but prior to the eleventh contract anniversary, and on the date the death benefit amount is determined, the Account Value is $150,000 due to poor market performance. Because the Annual Increase Amount ($162,889) is greater than the Highest Anniversary Value ($155,000), the Annual Increase Amount ($162,889) is used as the Death Benefit Base. Because the Death Benefit Base ($162,889) is greater than the Account Value ($150,000), the Death Benefit Base will be the death benefit amount. The above example does not take into account the impact of premium and other taxes. THE DEATH BENEFIT BASE IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR CASH WITHDRAWALS AND IS ONLY USED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE DEATH BENEFIT AMOUNT AND THE CHARGE FOR THE BENEFIT. (5) THE OPTIONAL STEP-UP Assume your initial Purchase Payment is $100,000 and no withdrawals are taken. The Annual Increase Amount increases to $105,000 on the first anniversary ($100,000 increased by 5% per year, compounded annually). Assume your Account Value at the first contract anniversary is $110,000 due to good market performance, and you elect an Optional Step-Up. The effect of the Optional Step-Up election is: (1) The Annual Increase Amount resets from $105,000 to $110,000; and (2) The Enhanced Death Benefit I rider charge may be reset to the fee we would charge new contract Owners for the Enhanced Death Benefit I at that time. F-5
N-4164th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 164th
The Annual Increase Amount increases to $115,500 on the second anniversary ($110,000 increased by 5% per year, compounded annually). Assume your Account Value at the second contract anniversary is $112,000 due to poor market performance. You may NOT elect an Optional Step-Up at this time, because the Account Value is less than the Annual Increase Amount (6) THE OPTIONAL STEP-UP: AUTOMATIC ANNUAL STEP-UP Assume your initial Purchase Payment is $100,000 and no withdrawals are taken. The Annual Increase Amount increases to $105,000 on the first anniversary ($100,000 increased by 5% per year, compounded annually). Assume your Account Value at the first contract anniversary is $110,000 due to good market performance, and you elected Optional Step-Ups to occur under the Automatic Annual Step-Up feature prior to the first contract anniversary. Because your Account Value is higher than your Annual Increase Amount, an Optional Step-Up will automatically occur. The effect of the Optional Step-Up is: (1) The Annual Increase Amount automatically resets from $105,000 to $110,000; and (2) The Enhanced Death Benefit I rider charge may be reset to the fee we would charge new contract Owners for the Enhanced Death Benefit I at that time. The Annual Increase Amount increases to $115,500 on the second anniversary ($110,000 increased by 5% per year, compounded annually). Assume your Account Value at the second contract anniversary is $120,000 due to good market performance, and you have not discontinued the Automatic Annual Step-Up feature. Because your Account Value is higher than your Annual Increase Amount, an Optional Step-Up will automatically occur. The effect of the Optional Step-Up is: (1) The Annual Increase Amount automatically resets from $115,500 to $120,000; and (2) The Enhanced Death Benefit I rider charge may be reset to the fee we would charge new contract Owners for the Enhanced Death Benefit I at that time. Assume your Account Value increases by $10,000 at each contract anniversary in years three through seven. At each contract anniversary, your Account Value would exceed the Annual Increase Amount and an Optional Step-Up would automatically occur (provided you had not discontinued the Automatic Annual Step-Up feature, and other requirements were met). The effect of the Optional Step-Up is: (1) The Annual Increase Amount automatically resets to the higher Account Value; and (2) The Enhanced Death Benefit I rider charge may be reset to the fee we would charge new contract Owners for the Enhanced Death Benefit I at that time. After the seventh contract anniversary, the initial Automatic Annual Step-Up election expires. Assume you do not make a new election of the Automatic Annual Step-Up. The Annual Increase Amount increases to $178,500 on the eighth anniversary ($170,000 increased by 5% per year, compounded annually). Assume your Account Value at the eighth contract anniversary is $160,000 due to poor market performance. An Optional Step-Up is NOT permitted because your Account Value is lower than your Annual Increase Amount. However, because the Optional Step-Up has locked-in previous gains, the Annual Increase Amount remains at $178,500 despite poor market performance, and, provided the rider continues in effect, will continue to grow at 5% annually (subject to adjustments for additional Purchase Payments and/or withdrawals) through the contract anniversary on or after your 90th birthday. Also, note the Enhanced Death Benefit I rider charge remains at its current level. F-6

CALCULATION OF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION TOTAL RETURN From time to time, the Company may advertise performance data. Such data will show the percentage change in the value of an Accumulation Unit based on the performance of an Investment Portfolio over a period of time, usually a calendar year, determined by dividing the increase (decrease) in value for that unit by the Accumulation Unit value at the beginning of the period. Any such advertisement will include total return figures for the time periods indicated in the advertisement. Such total return figures will reflect the deduction of the Separate Account product charges (including certain death benefit rider charges), the expenses for the underlying Investment Portfolio being advertised, and any applicable account fee, withdrawal charges, Enhanced Death Benefit rider charge, and/or GMIB, GWB or GMAB rider charge. For purposes of calculating performance information, the Enhanced Death Benefit rider charge and the GWB rider charge may be reflected as a percentage of Account Value or other theoretical benefit base. Premium taxes are not reflected. The deduction of such charges would reduce any percentage increase or make greater any percentage decrease. The hypothetical value of a contract purchased for the time periods described in the advertisement will be determined by using the actual Accumulation Unit values for an initial $1,000 Purchase Payment, and deducting any applicable account fee and any applicable sales charge to arrive at the ending hypothetical value. The average annual total return is then determined by computing the fixed interest rate that a $1,000 Purchase Payment would have to earn annually, compounded annually, to grow to the hypothetical value at the end of the time periods described. The formula used in these calculations is: P (1 + T)n = ERV Where: P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000 T = average annual total return 5
N-4170th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 170th
n = number of years ERV = ending redeemable value at the end of the time periods used (or fractional portion thereof) of a hypothetical $1,000 payment made at the beginning of the 1, 5 or 10 year periods used. The Company may also advertise performance data which will be calculated in the same manner as described above but which will not reflect the deduction of a withdrawal charge, or applicable Enhanced Death Benefit, GMIB, GWB, or GMAB rider charge. Premium taxes are not reflected. The deduction of such charges would reduce any percentage increase or make greater any percentage decrease. Owners should note that the investment results of each Investment Portfolio will fluctuate over time, and any presentation of the Investment Portfolio's total return for any period should not be considered as a representation of what an investment may earn or what the total return may be in any future period. HISTORICAL UNIT VALUES The Company may also show historical Accumulation Unit values in certain advertisements containing illustrations. These illustrations will be based on actual Accumulation Unit values. In addition, the Company may distribute sales literature which compares the percentage change in Accumulation Unit values for any of the against established market indices such as the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index, the Dow Jones Industrial Average or other management investment companies which have investment objectives similar to the Investment Portfolio being compared. The Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index is an unmanaged, unweighted average of 500 stocks, the majority of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is an unmanaged, weighted average of thirty blue chip industrial corporations listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Both the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average assume quarterly reinvestment of dividends. REPORTING AGENCIES The Company may also distribute sales literature which compares the performance of the Accumulation Unit values of the Contracts with the unit values of variable annuities issued by other insurance companies. Such information will be derived from the Lipper Variable Insurance Products Performance Analysis Service, the VARDS Report or from Morningstar. The Lipper Variable Insurance Products Performance Analysis Service is published by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., a publisher of statistical data which currently tracks the performance of thousands of investment companies. The rankings compiled by Lipper may or may not reflect the deduction of asset-based insurance charges. The Company's sales literature utilizing these rankings will indicate whether or not such charges have been deducted. Where the charges have not been deducted, the sales literature will indicate that if the charges had been deducted, the ranking might have been lower. The VARDS Report is a monthly variable annuity industry analysis compiled by Variable Annuity Research & Data Service. The VARDS rankings may or may not reflect the deduction of asset-based insurance charges. In addition, VARDS prepares risk adjusted rankings, which consider the effects of market risk on total return performance. This type of ranking may address the question as to which funds provide the highest total return with the least amount of risk. Other ranking services may be used as sources of performance comparison, such as CDA/Weisenberger. Morningstar rates a variable annuity against its peers with similar investment objectives. Morningstar does not rate any variable annuity that has less than three years of performance data. ANNUITY PROVISIONS VARIABLE ANNUITY A variable annuity is an annuity with payments which: (1) are not predetermined as to dollar amount; and (2) will vary in amount in proportion to the amount that the net investment factor exceeds the assumed investment return selected. The Adjusted Contract Value (the Account Value, less any applicable premium taxes, account fee, and any prorated rider charge) will be applied to the applicable Annuity Table to determine the first Annuity Payment. The Adjusted Contract Value is determined on the annuity calculation date, which is a Business Day no more than five (5) Business Days before the Annuity Date. The dollar amount of the first variable Annuity Payment is determined as 6

follows: The first variable Annuity Payment will be based upon the Annuity Option elected, the Annuitant's age, the Annuitant's sex (where permitted by law), and the appropriate variable Annuity Option table. Your annuity rates will not be less than those guaranteed in your contract at the time of purchase for the assumed investment return and Annuity Option elected. If, as of the annuity calculation date, the then current variable Annuity Option rates applicable to this class of contracts provide a first Annuity Payment greater than that which is guaranteed under the same Annuity Option under this contract, the greater payment will be made. The dollar amount of variable Annuity Payments after the first payment is determined as follows: 1. the dollar amount of the first variable Annuity Payment is divided by the value of an Annuity Unit for each applicable Investment Portfolio as of the annuity calculation date. This establishes the number of Annuity Units for each monthly payment. The number of Annuity Units for each applicable Investment Portfolio remains fixed during the annuity period, unless you transfer values from the Investment Portfolio to another Investment Portfolio; 2. the fixed number of Annuity Units per payment in each Investment Portfolio is multiplied by the Annuity Unit value for that Investment Portfolio for the Business Day for which the Annuity Payment is being calculated. This result is the dollar amount of the payment for each applicable Investment Portfolio, less any account fee. The account fee will be deducted pro rata out of each Annuity Payment. The total dollar amount of each variable Annuity Payment is the sum of all Investment Portfolio variable Annuity Payments. ANNUITY UNIT - The initial Annuity Unit value for each Investment Portfolio of the Separate Account was set by us. The subsequent Annuity Unit value for each Investment Portfolio is determined by multiplying the Annuity Unit value for the immediately preceding Business Day by the net investment factor for the Investment Portfolio for the current Business Day and multiplying the result by a factor for each day since the last Business Day which represents the daily equivalent of the AIR you elected. (1) the dollar amount of the first Annuity Payment is divided by the value of an Annuity Unit as of the Annuity Date. This establishes the number of Annuity Units for each monthly payment. The number of Annuity Units remains fixed during the Annuity Payment period. (2) the fixed number of Annuity Units is multiplied by the Annuity Unit value for the last valuation period of the month preceding the month for which the payment is due. This result is the dollar amount of the payment. NET INVESTMENT FACTOR - The net investment factor for each Investment Portfolio is determined by dividing A by B and multiplying by (1-C) where: A is (i) the net asset value per share of the portfolio at the end of the current Business Day; plus (ii) any dividend or capital gains per share declared on behalf of such portfolio that has an ex-dividend date as of the current Business Day. B is the net asset value per share of the portfolio for the immediately preceding Business Day. C is (i) the Separate Account product charges and for each day since the last Business Day. The daily charge is equal to the annual Separate Account product charges divided by 365; plus (ii) a charge factor, if any, for any taxes or any tax reserve we have established as a result of the operation of the Separate Account. Transfers During the Annuity Phase: o You may not make a transfer from the fixed Annuity Option to the variable Annuity Option; o Transfers among the subaccounts will be made by converting the number of Annuity Units being transferred to the number of Annuity Units of the subaccount to which the transfer is made, so that the next Annuity Payment if it were made at that time would be the same amount that it would have been without the transfer. Thereafter, Annuity Payments will reflect changes in the value of the new Annuity Units; and o You may make a transfer from the variable Annuity Option to the fixed Annuity Option. The amount transferred from a subaccount of the Separate Account will be equal to the product of "(a)" multiplied by "(b)" multiplied by "(c)", where (a) is the number of Annuity Units representing your interest in the subaccount per Annuity Payment; (b) is the Annuity Unit value for the subaccount; and (c) is the present value of $1.00 per payment period for the remaining 7

annuity benefit period based on the attained age of the Annuitant at the time of transfer, calculated using the same actuarial basis as the variable annuity rates applied on the Annuity Date for the Annuity Option elected. Amounts transferred to the fixed Annuity Option will be applied under the Annuity Option elected at the attained age of the Annuitant at the time of the transfer using the fixed Annuity Option table. If at the time of transfer, the then current fixed Annuity Option rates applicable to this class of contracts provide a greater payment, the greater payment will be made. All amounts and Annuity Unit values will be determined as of the end of the Business Day on which the Company receives a notice. FIXED ANNUITY A fixed annuity is a series of payments made during the Annuity Phase which are guaranteed as to dollar amount by the Company and do not vary with the investment experience of the Separate Account. The Adjusted Contract Value on the day immediately preceding the Annuity Date will be used to determine the fixed annuity monthly payment. The monthly Annuity Payment will be based upon the Annuity Option elected, the Annuitant's age, the Annuitant's sex (where permitted by law), and the appropriate Annuity Option table. Your annuity rates will not be less than those guaranteed in your contract at the time of purchase. If, as of the annuity calculation date, the then current Annuity Option rates applicable to this class of contracts provide an Annuity Payment greater than that which is guaranteed under the same Annuity Option under this contract, the greater payment will be made. MORTALITY AND EXPENSE GUARANTEE The Company guarantees that the dollar amount of each Annuity Payment after the first Annuity Payment will not be affected by variations in mortality or expense experience. LEGAL OR REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSACTIONS If mandated under applicable law, the Company may be required to reject a premium payment. The Company may also be required to block a contract Owner's account and thereby refuse to pay any request for transfers, withdrawals, surrenders, death benefits or continue making Annuity Payments until instructions are received from the appropriate regulator. ADDITIONAL FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS NON-QUALIFIED CONTRACTS DIVERSIFICATION. In order for your Non-Qualified Contract to be considered an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, we must comply with certain diversification standards with respect to the investments underlying the contract. We believe that we satisfy and will continue to satisfy these diversification standards. Failure to meet these standards would result in immediate taxation to contract Owners of gains under their contracts. Inadvertent failure to meet these standards may be correctable. CHANGES TO TAX RULES AND INTERPRETATIONS Changes to applicable tax rules and interpretations can adversely affect the tax treatment of your contract. These changes may take effect retroactively. We reserve the right to amend your contract where necessary to maintain its status as a variable annuity contract under federal tax law and to protect you and other contract Owners in the Investment Portfolios from adverse tax consequences. 3.8% INVESTMENT TAX The 3.8% investment tax applies to investment income earned in households making at least $250,000 ($200,000 single) and will result in the following top tax rates on investment income: [Download Table] Capital Gains Dividends Other ------------------ ----------- ---------- 23.8% 43.4% 43.4% The table above also incorporates the scheduled increase in the capital gains rate from 15% to 20%, and the scheduled increase in the dividends rate from 15% to 39.6%. 8

QUALIFIED CONTRACTS Annuity contracts purchased through tax qualified plans are subject to limitations imposed by the Code and regulations as a condition of tax qualification. There are various types of tax qualified plans which have certain beneficial tax consequences for contract Owners and plan participants. TYPES OF QUALIFIED PLANS The following list includes individual account-type plans which may hold an annuity contract as described in the Prospectus. Except for Traditional IRAs, they are established by an employer for participation of its employees. IRA Established by an individual, or employer as part of an employer plan. SIMPLE Established by a for-profit employer with fewer than 100 employees, based on IRA accounts for each participant. SEP Established by a for-profit employer, based on IRA accounts for each participant. Employer only contributions. 401(K), 401(A) Established by for-profit employers, Section 501(c)(3) tax exempt and non-tax exempt entities, Indian Tribes. 403(B) TAX SHELTERED ANNUITY ("TSA") Established by Section 501(c)(3) tax exempt entities, public schools (K-12), public colleges, universities, churches, synagogues and mosques. 457(B) GOVERNMENTAL SPONSOR Established by state and local governments, public schools (K-12), public colleges and universities. 457(B) NON-GOVERNMENTAL SPONSOR Established by a tax-exempt entity. Under a non-governmental plan, which must be a tax-exempt entity under Section 501(c) of the Code, all such investments of the plan are owned by and are subject to the claims of the general creditors of the sponsoring employer. In general, all amounts received under a non-governmental Section 457(b) plan are taxable and are subject to federal income tax withholding as wages. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING 457(B) PLANS A 457(b) plan may provide a one-time election to make special one-time "catch-up" contributions in one or more of the participant's last three taxable years ending before the participant's normal retirement age under the plan. Participants in governmental 457(b) plans may not use both the age 50 or older catch-up and the special one-time catch-up contribution in the same taxable year. In general, contribution limits with respect to elective deferral and to age 50 plus catch-up contributions are not aggregated with contributions under the other types of qualified plans for the purposes of determining the limitations applicable to participants. 403(A) If your benefit under the 403(b) plan is worth more than $5,000, the Code requires that your annuity protect your spouse if you die before you receive any payments under the annuity or if you die while payments are being made. You may waive these requirements with the written consent of your spouse. In general, designating a Beneficiary other than your spouse is considered a waiver and requires your spouse's written consent. Waiving these requirements may cause your monthly benefit to increase during your lifetime. Special rules apply to the withdrawal of excess contributions. ROTH ACCOUNT Individual or employee plan contributions made to certain plans on an after-tax basis. An IRA may be established as a Roth IRA, and 401(k), 403(b) and 457(b) plans may provide for Roth accounts. ERISA If your plan is subject to ERISA and you are married, the income payments, withdrawal provisions, and methods of payment of the death benefit under your contract may be subject to your spouse's rights as described below. Generally, the spouse must give qualified consent whenever you elect to: (a) choose income payments other than on a qualified joint and survivor annuity basis ("QJSA") (one under which we make payments to you during your lifetime and then make payments reduced by no more than 50% to your spouse for his or her remaining life, if any): or choose to waive the qualified pre-retirement survivor annuity benefit ("QPSA") (the benefit payable to the surviving spouse of a participant who dies with a vested interest in an accrued retirement benefit under the plan before payment of the benefit has begun); 9
N-4174th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 174th
(b) make certain withdrawals under plans for which a qualified consent is required; (c) name someone other than the spouse as your Beneficiary; or (d) use your accrued benefit as security for a loan exceeding $5,000. Generally, there is no limit to the number of your elections as long as a qualified consent is given each time. The consent to waive the QJSA must meet certain requirements, including that it be in writing, that it acknowledges the identity of the designated Beneficiary and the form of benefit selected, dated, signed by your spouse, witnessed by a notary public or plan representative, and that it be in a form satisfactory to us. The waiver of the QJSA generally must be executed during the 180 day period (90 days for certain loans) ending on the date on which income payments are to commence, or the withdrawal or the loan is to be made, as the case may be. If you die before benefits commence, your surviving spouse will be your Beneficiary unless he or she has given a qualified consent otherwise. The qualified consent to waive the QPSA benefit and the Beneficiary designation must be made in writing that acknowledges the designated Beneficiary, dated, signed by your spouse, witnessed by a notary public or plan representative and in a form satisfactory to us. Generally, there is no limit to the number of Beneficiary designations as long as a qualified consent accompanies each designation. The waiver of and the qualified consent for the QPSA benefit generally may not be given until the plan year in which you attain age 35. The waiver period for the QPSA ends on the date of your death. If the present value of your benefit is worth $5,000 or less, your plan generally may provide for distribution of your entire interest in a lump sum without spousal consent. COMPARISON OF PLAN LIMITS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTIONS (1) IRA: elective contribution: $5,500; catch-up contribution: $1,000 (2) SIMPLE: elective contribution: $12,000; catch-up contribution: $2,500 (3) 401(K): elective contribution: $17,500; catch-up contribution: $5,500 (4) SEP/401(A): (employer contributions only) (5) 403(B) (TSA): elective contribution: $17,500; catch-up contribution: $5,500 (6) 457(B): elective contribution: $17,500; catch-up contribution: $5,500 Dollar limits are for 2014 and subject to cost-of-living adjustments in future years. Employer-sponsored individual account plans (other than 457(b) plans) may provide for additional employer contributions not to exceed the greater of $52,000 or 25% of an employee's compensation for 2014. FEDERAL ESTATE TAXES While no attempt is being made to discuss the federal estate tax implications of the contract, you should bear in mind that the value of an annuity contract owned by a decedent and payable to a Beneficiary by virtue of surviving the decedent is included in the decedent's gross estate. Depending on the terms of the annuity contract, the value of the annuity included in the gross estate may be the value of the lump sum payment payable to the designated Beneficiary or the actuarial value of the payments to be received by the Beneficiary. Consult an estate planning adviser for more information. GENERATION-SKIPPING TRANSFER TAX Under certain circumstances, the Code may impose a "generation-skipping transfer tax" when all or part of an annuity contract is transferred to, or a death benefit is paid to, an individual two or more generations younger than the contract Owner. Regulations issued under the Code may require us to deduct the tax from your contract, or from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the IRS. ANNUITY PURCHASE PAYMENTS BY NONRESIDENT ALIENS AND FOREIGN CORPORATIONS The discussion above provides general information regarding U.S. federal income tax consequences to annuity purchasers that are U.S. citizens or residents. Purchasers that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax on taxable distributions from annuity contracts at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, purchasers may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes that may be imposed by the purchaser's country of citizenship or residence. Prospective purchasers are advised to consult with a qualified tax adviser regarding U.S., state and foreign taxation with respect to an annuity contract purchase. 10

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Contract Owners of MetLife Investors USA Separate Account A and Board of Directors of MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of MetLife Investors USA Separate Account A (the "Separate Account") of MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (the "Company") comprising each of the individual Sub-Accounts listed in Note 2 as of December 31, 2013, the related statements of operations for the respective stated period in the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for the respective stated periods in the two years then ended, and the financial highlights in Note 8 for the respective stated periods in the five years then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Separate Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights 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 and financial highlights 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. 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 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 investments owned as of December 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian or mutual fund companies. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Sub-Accounts constituting the Separate Account of the Company as of December 31, 2013, the results of their operations for the respective stated period in the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for the respective stated periods in the two years then ended, and the financial highlights for the respective stated periods in the five years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP Certified Public Accountants Tampa, Florida March 27, 2014

METLIFE INVESTORS USA SEPARATE ACCOUNT A OF METLIFE INVESTORS USA INSURANCE COMPANY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. ORGANIZATION MetLife Investors USA Separate Account A (the "Separate Account"), a separate account of MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (the "Company"), was established by the Company's Board of Directors on May 29, 1980 to support operations of the Company with respect to certain variable annuity contracts (the "Contracts"). The Company is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The Separate Account is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and exists in accordance with the regulations of the Delaware Department of Insurance. In the second quarter of 2013, MetLife, Inc. announced its plans to merge into MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut ("MICC"), as the surviving entity, two United States ("U.S.")-based life insurance companies and an offshore reinsurance subsidiary to create one larger U.S.-based and U.S.-regulated life insurance company, which is expected to be renamed and domiciled in Delaware (the "Mergers"). The companies to be merged into MICC consist of the Company and MetLife Investors Insurance Company, each a U.S. insurance company that issues variable annuity products in addition to other products, and Exeter Reassurance Company, Ltd. ("Exeter"), a reinsurance company that mainly reinsures guarantees associated with variable annuity products. Exeter, formerly a Cayman Islands company, was re-domesticated to Delaware in October 2013. The Mergers are expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2014, subject to regulatory approvals. The Separate Account is divided into Sub-Accounts, each of which is treated as an individual accounting entity for financial reporting purposes. Each Sub-Account invests in shares of the corresponding portfolio, series, or fund (with the same name) of registered investment management companies (the "Trusts"), which are presented below: [Enlarge/Download Table] AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Met Investors Series Trust ("MIST")* Insurance Funds) ("Invesco V.I.") Metropolitan Series Fund ("MSF")* American Funds Insurance Series ("American Funds") MFS Variable Insurance Trust ("MFS VIT") DWS Variable Series I ("DWS I") Neuberger Berman Equity Funds ("Neuberger Berman") Federated Insurance Series ("Federated") Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds Fidelity Variable Insurance Products ("Fidelity VIP") ("Oppenheimer VA") Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust Pioneer Variable Contracts Trust ("Pioneer VCT") ("FTVIPT") T. Rowe Price Growth Stock Fund, Inc. Janus Aspen Series ("Janus Aspen") T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc. Legg Mason Partners Variable Equity Trust T. Rowe Price Prime Reserve Fund, Inc. ("LMPVET") The Alger Portfolios ("Alger") Legg Mason Partners Variable Income Trust The Universal Institutional Funds, Inc. ("UIF") ("LMPVIT") * See Note 5 for a discussion of additional information on related party transactions. The assets of each of the Sub-Accounts of the Separate Account are registered in the name of the Company. Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Separate Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the Company's other assets and liabilities. The portion of the Separate Account's assets applicable to the Contracts is not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business the Company may conduct. 101

Concurrently, Oppenheimer Funds, Inc. became the subadviser of the (MIST) Met/Templeton Growth Portfolio, the portfolio's investment objective and principal investment strategies changed, and the portfolio's name was changed to (MIST) Oppenheimer Global Equity Portfolio. Pursuant to these changes, (MSF) Oppenheimer Global Equity Portfolio was deemed to be the accounting and performance survivor of the merger for financial reporting purposes, and therefore, the results of MIST Oppenheimer Global Equity Sub-Account presented in the financial statements reflect the historical results of MSF Oppenheimer Global Equity Sub-Account prior to the merger, and the combined results thereafter. 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") applicable for variable annuity separate accounts registered as unit investment trusts. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on the sales of investments are computed on the basis of the average cost of the investment sold. Income from dividends and realized gain distributions are recorded on the ex-distribution date. SECURITY VALUATION A Sub-Account's investment in shares of a portfolio, series, or fund of the Trusts is valued at fair value based on the closing net asset value ("NAV") or price per share as determined by the Trusts as of the end of the year. All changes in fair value are recorded as changes in unrealized gains (losses) on investments in the statements of operations of the applicable Sub-Accounts. 105

METLIFE INVESTORS USA SEPARATE ACCOUNT A OF METLIFE INVESTORS USA INSURANCE COMPANY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- (CONTINUED) SECURITY VALUATION -- (CONCLUDED) The Separate Account defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Separate Account prioritizes the inputs to fair valuation techniques and allows for the use of unobservable inputs to the extent that observable inputs are not available. The Separate Account has categorized its assets based on the priority of the inputs to the respective valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). An asset's classification within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. The input levels are as follows: Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Separate Account has the ability to access. Level 2 Observable inputs other than quoted prices in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market or prices for similar instruments. Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets, representing the Separate Account's own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset, and based on the best information available. Each Sub-Account invests in shares of open-end mutual funds which calculate a daily NAV based on the fair value of the underlying securities in their portfolios. As a result, and as required by law, shares of open-end mutual funds are purchased and redeemed at their quoted daily NAV as reported by the Trusts at the close of each business day. On that basis, the inputs used to value all shares held by the Separate Account, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, are classified as Level 2. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and no activity in Level 3 during the year. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES The operations of the Separate Account form a part of the total operations of the Company and are not taxed separately. The Company is taxed as a life insurance company under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). Under the current provisions of the IRC, the Company 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 currently being made to the Separate Account for federal income taxes. The Company will periodically review 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 Contracts. ANNUITY PAYOUTS Net assets allocated to Contracts in the payout period are computed according to industry standard mortality tables. The assumed investment return is between 3.0 and 6.0 percent. The mortality risk is fully borne by the Company and may result in additional amounts being transferred into the Separate Account by the Company to cover greater longevity of annuitants than expected. Conversely, if amounts allocated exceed amounts required, transfers may be made to the Company. PURCHASE PAYMENTS Purchase payments received from contract owners by the Company are credited as accumulation units as of the end of the valuation period in which received, as provided in the prospectus of the Contracts, and are reported as contract transactions on the statements of changes in net assets of the applicable Sub-Accounts. 106

METLIFE INVESTORS USA SEPARATE ACCOUNT A OF METLIFE INVESTORS USA INSURANCE COMPANY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- (CONCLUDED) NET TRANSFERS Funds transferred by the contract owner into or out of Sub-Accounts within the Separate Account or into or out of the fixed account, which is part the Company's general account, are recorded on a net basis as net transfers in the statements of changes in net assets of the applicable Sub-Accounts. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported herein. Actual results could differ from these estimates. 5. EXPENSES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The following annual Separate Account charges paid to the Company, are asset-based charges assessed through a daily reduction in unit values, which are recorded as expenses in the accompanying statements of operations of the applicable Sub-Accounts: Mortality and Expense Risk -- The mortality risk assumed by the Company is the risk that those insured may die sooner than anticipated and therefore, the Company will pay an aggregate amount of death benefits greater than anticipated. The expense risk assumed is the risk that expenses incurred in issuing and administering the Contracts will exceed the amounts realized from the administrative charges assessed against the Contracts. In addition, the charge compensates the Company for the risk that the investor may live longer than estimated and the Company would be obligated to pay more in income payments than anticipated.

These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense risk charges, that are assessed against contract owner accounts either through reductions in the unit values or the redemption of units. The investment income ratio is calculated for each period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The recognition of investment income by the Sub-Account is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund or portfolio in which the Sub-Account invests. The investment income ratio is calculated as a weighted average ratio since the Sub-Account may invest in two or more share classes, within the underlying portfolio, series, or fund of the Trusts which may have unique investment income ratios. 2 These amounts represent annualized contract expenses of each of the applicable Sub-Accounts, consisting primarily of mortality and expense risk charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying portfolio, series, or fund have been excluded. 3 These amounts represent the total return for the period indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying portfolio, series, or fund, and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. The total return is calculated for each period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The total return is presented as a range of minimum to maximum returns, based on the minimum and maximum returns within each product grouping of the applicable Sub-Account. 139

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements In the second quarter of 2013, MetLife, Inc. announced its plans to merge three U.S.-based life insurance companies and an offshore reinsurance subsidiary to create one larger U.S.-based and U.S.-regulated life insurance company (the "Mergers"). The companies to be merged are MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut, MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company ("MLI-USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut, and MetLife Investors Insurance Company ("MLIIC"), each a U.S. insurance company that issues variable annuity products in addition to other products, and Exeter Reassurance Company, Ltd. ("Exeter"), a reinsurance company that mainly reinsures guarantees associated with variable annuity products. MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut, which is expected to be renamed and domiciled in Delaware, will be the surviving company. Exeter, formerly a Cayman Islands company, was re-domesticated to Delaware in October 2013. Effective January 1, 2014, following receipt of New York State Department of Financial Services approval, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut withdrew its license to issue insurance policies and annuity contracts in New York. Also, effective January 1, 2014, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut reinsured with an affiliate all existing New York insurance policies and annuity contracts that include a separate account feature. Following the Mergers and subject to certain regulatory approvals, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut will likely enter into transactions to transfer to one or more affiliates certain business that is currently reinsured by Exeter. The Mergers are expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2014, subject to regulatory approvals. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and accompanying notes present the impact of the Mergers as a transaction among entities under common control which is more fully described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. Transactions among entities under common control are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements include historical audited amounts as of December 31, 2013 and for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, for MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and its subsidiaries, including MLI-USA (collectively "MICC"), MLIIC and Exeter. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements give effect to the Mergers as if they had occurred (i) on December 31, 2013 for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and (ii) on January 1, 2011 for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. The historical financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the Mergers, factually supportable, and are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. It is likely that the actual adjustments reflected in the final accounting, that will consider additional available information, will differ from the pro forma adjustments and it is possible the differences may be material. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes. In addition, the unaudited proforma condensed combined financial statements were derived from and should be read in conjunction with the audited historical consolidated financial statements of MICC included in MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as revised by MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 27, 2014, as well as the audited historical balance sheets of MLIIC as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholder's equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013 together with the notes thereto and balance sheets of Exeter as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholder's equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013 together with the notes thereto, as restated on October 27, 2014 and as revised on November 7, 2014, are included as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, to the Current Report on Form 8-K/A ("Amendment No. 2") with which this financial information is filed as Exhibit 99.3. 1

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Description of Transaction In the second quarter of 2013, MetLife, Inc. announced its plans to merge three U.S.-based life insurance companies and an offshore reinsurance subsidiary to create one larger U.S.-based and U.S.-regulated life insurance company (the "Mergers"). The companies to be merged are MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut, MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company ("MLI-USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut, and MetLife Investors Insurance Company ("MLIIC"), each a U.S. insurance company that issues variable annuity products in addition to other products, and Exeter Reassurance Company, Ltd. ("Exeter"), a reinsurance company that mainly reinsures guarantees associated with variable annuity products. MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut, which is expected to be renamed and domiciled in Delaware, will be the surviving company. Exeter, formerly a Cayman Islands company, was re-domesticated to Delaware in October 2013. Effective January 1, 2014, following receipt of New York State Department of Financial Services approval, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut withdrew its license to issue insurance policies and annuity contracts in New York. Also, effective January 1, 2014, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut reinsured with an affiliate all existing New York insurance policies and annuity contracts that include a separate account feature. Following the Mergers and subject to certain regulatory approvals, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut will likely enter into transactions to transfer to one or more affiliates certain business that is currently reinsured by Exeter. The Mergers are expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2014, subject to regulatory approvals. 2. Basis of Presentation The Mergers represent a transaction among entities under common control. Transactions among entities under common control are accounted for as if the transaction occurred at the beginning of the earliest date presented and prior years are retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information similar to the pooling method. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements include historical amounts derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2013 and for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, for MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and its subsidiaries, including MLI-USA (collectively "MICC"), MLIIC and Exeter. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements give effect to the Mergers as if they had occurred (i) on December 31, 2013 for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and (ii) on January 1, 2011 for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and presented in accordance with the requirements of Article 11 of Regulation S-X published by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, discontinued operations have been excluded from the presentation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations. The historical financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the Mergers, factually supportable, and are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements exclude the effects of adjustments that rely on highly judgmental estimates including how historical management practices and operating decisions may or may not have changed as a result of the Mergers. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for informational purposes only and are not intended to reflect the results of operations or the financial position of the combined company that 7

Forward Looking Statements These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements may be deemed to be forward looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward looking statements are identified by words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe" and other words and terms of similar meaning, or are tied to future periods, in connection with a discussion of future operating or financial performance. Such statements may include, but are not limited to statements about the benefits of the Mergers, including future financial and operating results, the combined company's plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements that are not historical facts. These forward looking statements are based largely on management's expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from these forward looking statements. 9

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 7. Subsequent Event On February 14, 2014, a subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut entered into a definitive agreement to sell its wholly-owned subsidiary, MetLife Assurance Limited ("MAL"). Beginning in the first quarter of 2014, MICC will account for and report MAL as discontinued operations. These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements exclude the impact of the MAL disposition as the transaction does not meet the significant subsidiary conditions of Article 11 of Regulation S-X and is not directly attributable to the Mergers. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2014, subject to regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other closing conditions. 10

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index to Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes and Schedules. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules 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 consolidated 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 MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. /s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP New York, New York March 28, 2014 (October 27, 2014 as to Note 17) 2

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Business "MICC" or the "Company" refers to MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut, a Connecticut corporation incorporated in 1863, and its subsidiaries, including MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company ("MLI-USA"). MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife, Inc. ("MetLife"). The Company offers individual annuities, individual life insurance, and institutional protection and asset accumulation products. The Company is organized into two segments: Retail and Corporate Benefit Funding. In the second quarter of 2013, MetLife announced its plans to merge three U.S.-based life insurance companies and an offshore reinsurance subsidiary to create one larger U.S.-based and U.S.-regulated life insurance company (the "Mergers"). The companies to be merged are MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut, MLI-USA and MetLife Investors Insurance Company ("MLIIC"), each a U.S. insurance company that issues variable annuity products in addition to other products, and Exeter Reassurance Company, Ltd. ("Exeter"), a reinsurance company that mainly reinsures guarantees associated with variable annuity products. MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut, which is expected to be renamed and domiciled in Delaware, will be the surviving entity. Exeter, formerly a Cayman Islands company, was re-domesticated to Delaware in October 2013. Effective January 1, 2014, following receipt of New York State Department of Financial Services ("Department of Financial Services") approval, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut withdrew its license to issue insurance policies and annuity contracts in New York. Also effective January 1, 2014, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut reinsured with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ("MLIC"), an affiliate, all existing New York insurance policies and annuity contracts that include a separate account feature. As a result of the reinsurance agreements, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut recorded a reinsurance recoverable, included in premiums, reinsurance and other receivables, of $545 million and a funds withheld liability, included in other liabilities, of $97 million, and transferred cash and investments of $448 million to MLIC. On December 31, 2013, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut deposited investments with an estimated fair market value of $6.3 billion into a custodial account, which became restricted to secure MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut's remaining New York policyholder liabilities not covered by such reinsurance on January 1, 2014. In anticipation of establishing the custodial account with qualifying investments, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut transferred investments with an estimated fair value of $739 million and cash of $12 million to MLIC and received from MLIC qualifying investments with an estimated fair value of $751 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. See Note 7. The Mergers are expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2014, subject to regulatory approvals. Basis of Presentation 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. In applying these policies and estimates, management makes subjective and complex judgments that frequently require assumptions 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 business and operations. Actual results could differ from estimates. 9

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and its subsidiaries, as well as partnerships and joint ventures in which the Company has control, and variable interest entities ("VIEs") for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Since the Company is a member of a controlled group of affiliated companies, its results may not be indicative of those of a stand-alone entity. Discontinued Operations The results of operations of a component of the Company that has either been disposed of or is classified as held-for-sale are reported in discontinued operations if certain criteria are met. In order to qualify for a discontinued operation, the operations and cash flows of the component have been or will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Company, and the Company will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction. 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: . such separate accounts are legally recognized; . assets supporting the contract liabilities are legally insulated from the Company's general account liabilities; . investments are directed by the contractholder; and . all investment performance, net of contract fees and assessments, is passed through to the contractholder. The Company reports separate account assets at their fair value, which is based on the estimated fair values of the underlying assets comprising the individual separate account portfolios. 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 statements of operations. Separate accounts credited with a contractual investment return are combined on a line-by-line basis with the Company's general account assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the accounting for these investments is consistent with the methodologies described herein for similar financial instruments held within the general account. Unit-linked separate account investments that are directed by contractholders but do not meet one or more of the other above criteria are included in fair value option ("FVO") securities. See Note 3. 10

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 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. Such fees are included in universal life and investment-type product policy fees in the statements of operations. Reclassifications Certain amounts in the prior years' consolidated financial statements and related footnotes thereto have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation as discussed throughout the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Adjustments to Prior Periods During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company determined to adjust certain prior period results to correct the following: . Certain prior years' acquisition costs related to variable annuity sales were incorrectly allocated to an affiliate. Such costs, net of deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC"), were $57 million, $66 million, and $52 million for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. . A DAC recoverability write-off of $111 million associated with term life and universal life secondary guarantees business sold in 2012 was not recorded as of December 31, 2012. . The fair value of a bifurcated embedded derivative associated with a reinsurance agreement was overstated by $23 million for 2011. . Policyholder benefits and claims and other expenses were overstated in 2012 by $6 million and $23 million, respectively, due to an adjustment in the modeling of dynamic lapses in certain variable annuity products. . Tax valuation allowances were understated by $22 million for 2012. . A non-cash transaction relating to a pension closeout sale was incorrectly recorded as an increase of $312 million in net cash provided by operating activities with an offsetting impact on net cash used in investing activities for 2011. Management evaluated the materiality of these adjustments quantitatively and qualitatively and concluded that they were not material to any prior periods' annual or quarterly financial statements, however, unadjusted amounts as of December 31, 2012 would have had a significant effect on the results of operations for 2013 if they were recorded in 2013. Accordingly, the Company has revised its previously reported financial statements for prior annual periods for the items listed above, including the related tax impacts, as detailed below. The effects of the adjustments were immaterial to quarterly financial information reported in each of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in 2012 and 2013, since the most significant adjustments occurred in the fourth quarter of 2012. As a result, such previously reported quarterly financial information has not been adjusted, and we do not plan to amend prior quarterly filings. 11

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The following are the Company's significant accounting policies with references to notes providing additional information on such policies and critical accounting estimates relating to such policies. [Enlarge/Download Table] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Accounting Policy Note -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Insurance 4 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs, Value of Business Acquired and Other Policy-Related Intangibles 5 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reinsurance 6 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investments 7 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Derivatives 8 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fair Value 9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Goodwill 10 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income Tax 14 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Litigation Contingencies 15 Insurance Future Policy Benefit Liabilities and Policyholder Account Balances The Company establishes liabilities for amounts payable under insurance policies. 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. These assumptions are established at the time the policy is issued and are intended to estimate the experience for the period the policy benefits are payable. Utilizing these assumptions, liabilities are established on a block of business basis. For long duration insurance contracts, assumptions such as mortality, morbidity and interest rates are "locked in" upon the issuance of new business. However, significant adverse changes in experience on such contracts may require the establishment of premium deficiency reserves. Such reserves are determined based on the then current assumptions and do not include a provision for adverse deviation. Liabilities for universal and variable life secondary 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 assumptions used in estimating the secondary guarantee liabilities are consistent with those used for amortizing DAC and are thus subject to the same variability and risk as further discussed herein. The assumptions of investment performance and volatility for variable products are consistent with historical experience of appropriate underlying equity indices, such as the Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("S&P") 500 Index. The benefits used in calculating the liabilities are based on the average benefits payable over a range of scenarios. 14

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) The Company regularly reviews its estimates of liabilities for future policy benefits and compares them with its actual experience. Differences result in changes to the liability balances with related charges or credits to benefit expenses in the period in which the changes occur. Policyholder account balances ("PABs") relate to contract or contract features where the Company has no significant insurance risk. The Company issues directly and assumes through reinsurance, certain variable annuity products with guaranteed minimum benefits that provide the policyholder a minimum return based on their initial deposit (i.e., the benefit base) less withdrawals. These guarantees are accounted for as insurance liabilities or as embedded derivatives depending on how and when the benefit is paid. Specifically, a guarantee is accounted for as an embedded derivative if a guarantee is paid without requiring (i) the occurrence of specific insurable event, or (ii) the policyholder to annuitize. Alternatively, a guarantee is accounted for as an insurance liability if the guarantee is paid only upon either (i) the occurrence of a specific insurable event, or (ii) annuitization. In certain cases, a guarantee may have elements of both an insurance liability and an embedded derivative and in such cases the guarantee is split and accounted for under both models. Guarantees accounted for as insurance liabilities in future policy benefits include guaranteed minimum death benefits ("GMDBs"), the portion of guaranteed minimum income benefits ("GMIBs") that require annuitization, and the life-contingent portion of guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits ("GMWBs"). Guarantees accounted for as embedded derivatives in PABs include the non life-contingent portion of GMWBs, guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits ("GMABs") and the portion of GMIBs that do not require annuitization. At inception, the Company attributes to the embedded derivative a portion of the projected future guarantee fees to be collected from the policyholder equal to the present value of projected future guaranteed benefits. Any additional fees represent "excess" fees and are reported in universal life and investment-type product policy fees. Other Policy-Related Balances Other policy-related balances include policy and contract claims, unearned revenue liabilities, premiums received in advance and policyholder dividends due and unpaid. The liability for policy and contract claims generally relates to incurred but not reported death, disability, and long-term care ("LTC") 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 analyses of historical patterns of claims by business line. 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, similar to DAC as discussed further herein. Such amortization is recorded in universal life and investment-type product policy fees. 15

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) The Company accounts for the prepayment of premiums on its individual life, group life and health contracts as premiums received in advance and applies the cash received to premiums when due. Recognition of Insurance Revenues and Deposits 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 to recognize profits over the estimated lives of the insurance 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 earnings 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 fees 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 earnings include interest credited and benefit claims incurred in excess of related PABs. Premiums, policy fees, policyholder benefits and expenses are presented net of reinsurance. Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs, Value of Business Acquired and Other Policy-Related Intangibles The Company incurs significant costs in connection with acquiring new and renewal insurance business. Costs that are related directly to the successful acquisition or renewal of insurance contracts are capitalized as DAC. Such costs include: . incremental direct costs of contract acquisition, such as commissions; . the portion of an employee's total compensation and benefits related to time spent selling, underwriting or processing the issuance of new and renewal insurance business only with respect to actual policies acquired or renewed; . other essential direct costs that would not have been incurred had a policy not been acquired or renewed; and . in limited circumstances, the costs of direct-response advertising, the primary purpose of which is to elicit sales to customers who could be shown to have responded specifically to the advertising and that results in probable future benefits. All other acquisition-related costs, including those related to general advertising and solicitation, market research, agent training, product development, unsuccessful sales and underwriting efforts, as well as all indirect costs, are expensed as incurred. Value of business acquired ("VOBA") is an intangible asset resulting from a business combination that represents the excess of book value over the estimated fair value of acquired insurance, annuity, and investment-type contracts in-force at the acquisition date. The estimated fair value of the acquired liabilities is 16

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) based on projections, by each block of business, of future policy and contract charges, premiums, mortality and morbidity, separate account performance, surrenders, operating expenses, investment returns, nonperformance risk adjustment and other factors. Actual experience on the purchased business may vary from these projections. DAC and VOBA are amortized as follows: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Products: In proportion to the following over estimated lives of the contracts: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- . Nonparticipating and Historic actual and expected future non-dividend-paying traditional gross premiums. contracts (primarily term insurance) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- . Participating, dividend-paying Actual and expected future gross traditional contracts margins. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- . Fixed and variable universal life Actual and expected future gross contracts profits. . Fixed and variable deferred annuity contracts ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- See Note 5 for additional information on DAC and VOBA amortization. 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. The Company generally 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. The amortization of sales inducements is included in policyholder benefits and claims. Each year, or more frequently if circumstances indicate a potential recoverability issue exists, the Company reviews deferred sales inducements to determine the recoverability of the asset. Value of distribution agreements acquired ("VODA") is reported in other assets and represents the present value of expected future profits associated with the expected future business derived from the distribution agreements acquired as part of a business combination. Value of customer relationships acquired ("VOCRA") is also reported in other assets and represents the present value of the expected future profits associated with the expected future business acquired through existing customers of the acquired company or business. The VODA and VOCRA associated with past business combinations are amortized over useful lives ranging from 10 to 30 years and such amortization is included in other expenses. Each year, or more frequently if circumstances indicate a possible impairment exists, the Company reviews VODA and VOCRA to determine whether the asset is impaired. Reinsurance For each of its reinsurance agreements, the Company determines whether the agreement provides indemnification against loss or liability relating to insurance risk in accordance with applicable accounting standards. Cessions under reinsurance agreements do not discharge the Company's obligations as the primary insurer. The Company reviews all contractual features, including those that may limit the amount of insurance risk to which the reinsurer is subject or features that delay the timely reimbursement of claims. 17

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 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 reinsurance agreement. The net cost of reinsurance is recorded as an adjustment to DAC when there is a gain at inception on the ceding entity and to other liabilities when there is a loss at inception. The net cost of reinsurance is recognized as a component of other expenses when there is a gain at inception and as policyholder benefits and claims when there is a loss and is subsequently amortized on a basis consistent with the methodology used for amortizing DAC related to the underlying reinsured contracts. 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) premiums, reinsurance and other receivables (future policy benefits) are established. Amounts currently recoverable under reinsurance agreements are included in premiums, reinsurance and other receivables and amounts currently payable are included in other liabilities. Assets and liabilities relating to reinsurance agreements with the same reinsurer may be recorded net on the balance sheet, if a right of offset exists within the reinsurance agreement. In the event that reinsurers do not meet their obligations to the Company under the terms of the reinsurance agreements, reinsurance recoverable balances could become uncollectible. In such instances, reinsurance recoverable balances are stated net of allowances for uncollectible reinsurance. The funds withheld liability represents amounts withheld by the Company in accordance with the terms of the reinsurance agreements. The Company withholds the funds rather than transferring the underlying investments and, as a result, records funds withheld liability within other liabilities. The Company recognizes interest on funds withheld, included in other expenses, at rates defined by the terms of the agreement which may be contractually specified or directly related to the investment portfolio. Premiums, fees and policyholder benefits and claims include amounts assumed under reinsurance agreements and are net of reinsurance ceded. Amounts received from reinsurers for policy administration are reported in other revenues. With respect to GMIBs, a portion of the directly written GMIBs are accounted for as insurance liabilities, but the associated reinsurance agreements contain embedded derivatives. These embedded derivatives are included in premiums, reinsurance and other receivables with changes in estimated fair value reported in net derivative gains (losses). If the Company determines that a reinsurance agreement does not expose the reinsurer to a reasonable possibility of a significant loss from insurance risk, the Company records the agreement using the deposit method of accounting. Deposits received are included in other liabilities and deposits made are included within premiums, reinsurance and other receivables. 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 revenues 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 revenues or other expenses, as appropriate. 18

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Investments Net Investment Income and Net Investment Gains (Losses) Income on investments is reported within net investment income, unless otherwise stated herein. Gains and losses on sales of investments, impairment losses and changes in valuation allowances are reported within net investment gains (losses), unless otherwise stated herein. Fixed Maturity and Equity Securities The majority of the Company's fixed maturity and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale ("AFS") 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 (loss) ("OCI"), 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 are determined on a specific identification basis. Interest income on fixed maturity securities is recognized when earned using an effective yield method giving effect to amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Prepayment fees are recognized when earned. Dividends on equity securities are recognized when declared. The Company periodically evaluates fixed maturity and equity securities for impairment. The assessment of whether impairments have occurred is based on management's case-by-case evaluation of the underlying reasons for the decline in estimated fair value, as well as an analysis of the gross unrealized losses by severity and/or age as described in Note 7 "-- Evaluation of AFS Securities for OTTI and Evaluating Temporarily Impaired AFS Securities." For fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position, an other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") is recognized in earnings when it is anticipated that the amortized cost will not be recovered. When either: (i) the Company has the intent to sell the security; or (ii) it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery, the OTTI recognized in earnings is the entire difference between the security's amortized cost and estimated fair value. If neither of these conditions exist, the difference between the amortized cost of the security and the present value of projected future cash flows expected to be collected is recognized as an OTTI in earnings ("credit loss"). If the estimated fair value is less than the present value of projected future cash flows expected to be collected, this portion of OTTI related to other-than-credit factors ("noncredit loss") is recorded in OCI. With respect to equity securities, the Company considers in its OTTI analysis its intent and ability to hold a particular equity security for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of its estimated fair value to an amount equal to or greater than cost. If a sale decision is made for an equity security and recovery to an amount at least equal to cost prior to the sale is not expected, the security will be deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired in the period that the sale decision was made and an OTTI loss will be recorded in earnings. The OTTI loss recognized is the entire difference between the security's cost and its estimated fair value. 19

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Mortgage Loans The Company disaggregates its mortgage loan investments into two portfolio segments: commercial and agricultural. The accounting policies that are applicable to all portfolio segments are presented below and the accounting policies related to each of the portfolio segments are included in Note 7. Mortgage loans are stated at unpaid principal balance, adjusted for any unamortized premium or discount, deferred fees or expenses, and are net of valuation allowances. Interest income and prepayment fees are recognized when earned. Interest income is recognized using an effective yield method giving effect to amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Also included in mortgage loans are commercial mortgage loans held by consolidated securitization entities ("CSEs") for which the FVO was elected. These mortgage loans are stated at estimated fair value. Changes in estimated fair value are recognized in net investment gains (losses) for commercial mortgage loans held by CSEs. Policy Loans Policy loans are stated at unpaid principal balances. Interest income on such loans is recorded as earned using the contractual interest rate. Generally, accrued interest is capitalized on the policy's anniversary date. Valuation allowances are not established for policy loans, as they are fully collateralized by the cash surrender value of the underlying insurance policies. Any unpaid principal or interest on the loan is deducted from the cash surrender value or the death benefit prior to settlement of the insurance policy. Real Estate Real estate held-for-investment 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 associated with such real estate is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective leases. The Company periodically reviews its real estate held-for-investment for impairment and tests for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable and exceeds its estimated fair value. Properties whose carrying values are greater than their undiscounted cash flows are written down to their estimated fair value, which is generally computed using the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the underlying risks. Real estate for which the Company commits to a plan to sell within one year and actively markets in its current condition for a reasonable price in comparison to its estimated fair value is classified as held for sale. Real estate held-for-sale is stated at the lower of depreciated cost or estimated fair value less expected disposition costs and is not depreciated. Real Estate Joint Ventures and Other Limited Partnership Interests The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments in equity securities when it has significant influence or at least 20% interest and for investments in real estate joint ventures and other limited partnership interests ("investees") when it has more than a minor ownership interest or more than a minor influence over the investee's operations, but does not have a controlling financial interest. The Company 20

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) generally recognizes its share of the investee's earnings on a three-month lag in instances where the investee's financial information is not sufficiently timely or when the investee's reporting period differs from the Company's reporting period. The Company uses the cost method of accounting for investments in which it has virtually no influence over the investee's operations. The Company recognizes distributions on cost method investments as earned or received. Because of the nature and structure of these cost method investments, they do not meet the characteristics of an equity security in accordance with applicable accounting standards. The Company routinely evaluates its equity method and cost method investments for impairment. 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. The Company considers its cost method investments for impairment when the carrying value of such investments exceeds the net asset value ("NAV"). The Company takes into consideration the severity and duration of this excess when determining whether the cost method investment is impaired. Short-term Investments Short-term investments include securities and other investments with remaining maturities of one year or less, but greater than three months, at the time of purchase and are stated at estimated fair value or amortized cost, which approximates estimated fair value. Short-term investments also include investments in affiliated money market pools. Other Invested Assets Other invested assets consist principally of the following: . Freestanding derivatives with positive estimated fair values are described in "-- Derivatives" below. . Loans to affiliates are stated at unpaid principal balance, adjusted for any unamortized premium or discount. . Tax credit and renewable energy partnerships derive a significant source of investment return in the form of income tax credits or other tax incentives. Where tax credits are guaranteed by a creditworthy third party, the investment is accounted for under the effective yield method. Otherwise, the investment is accounted for under the equity method. . Leveraged leases are recorded net of non-recourse debt. Income on leveraged leases is recognized by applying the leveraged lease's estimated rate of return to the net investment in the lease. The Company regularly reviews residual values for impairment. . Investments in joint ventures that engage in insurance underwriting activities are accounted for under the equity method. Securities Lending Program Securities lending transactions, whereby blocks of securities are loaned to third parties, primarily brokerage firms and commercial banks, are treated as financing arrangements and the associated liability is recorded at the amount of cash received. The Company obtains collateral at the inception of the loan, usually cash, in an amount 21

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) generally equal to 102% of the estimated fair value of the securities loaned, and maintains it at a level greater than or equal to 100% for the duration of the loan. The Company is liable to return to the counterparties the cash collateral received. Security collateral on deposit from counterparties in connection with the securities lending transactions may not be sold or repledged, unless the counterparty is in default, and is not reflected in the financial statements. The Company monitors the estimated fair value of the securities loaned on a daily basis and additional collateral is obtained as necessary. Income and expenses associated with securities lending transactions are reported as investment income and investment expense, respectively, within net investment income. Derivatives Freestanding Derivatives Freestanding derivatives are carried in the Company's balance sheets either as assets within other invested assets or as liabilities within other liabilities at estimated fair value. The Company does not offset the fair value amounts recognized for derivatives executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting agreement. Accruals on derivatives are generally recorded in accrued investment income or within other liabilities. However, accruals that are not scheduled to settle within one year are included with the derivatives carrying value in other invested assets or other liabilities. If a derivative is not designated as an accounting hedge or its use in managing risk does not qualify for hedge accounting, changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative are reported in net derivative gains (losses) except as follows: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Statement of Operations Presentation: Derivative: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Policyholder benefits and claims . Economic hedges of variable annuity guarantees included in future policy benefits ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net investment income . Economic hedges of equity method investments in joint ventures ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hedge Accounting 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. Hedge designation and financial statement presentation of changes in estimated fair value of the hedging derivatives are as follows: . Fair value hedge (a hedge of the estimated fair value of a recognized asset or liability) -- in net derivative gains (losses), consistent with the change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to the designated risk being hedged. . Cash flow hedge (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) -- effectiveness in OCI (deferred gains or losses on the derivative are reclassified into the statement of operations when the Company's earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the hedged item); ineffectiveness in net derivative gains (losses). 22

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) The changes in estimated fair values of the hedging derivatives are exclusive of any accruals that are separately reported in the statement of operations within interest income or interest expense to match the location of the hedged item. In its hedge 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 that 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 at least quarterly throughout the life of the designated hedging relationship. Assessments of hedge effectiveness and measurements of ineffectiveness 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 Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when: (i) it is determined that the derivative is no longer highly effective in offsetting changes in the estimated 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; or (iv) 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 estimated fair value or cash flows of a hedged item, the derivative continues to be carried in the balance sheets at its estimated fair value, with changes in estimated fair value recognized in net derivative 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 estimated 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 estimated fair value of derivatives recorded in OCI related to discontinued cash flow hedges are released into the statements of operations 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 on the anticipated date or within two months of that date, the derivative continues to be carried in the balance sheets at its estimated fair value, with changes in estimated fair value recognized currently in net derivative gains (losses). Deferred gains and losses of a derivative recorded in OCI pursuant to the discontinued cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction that is no longer probable are recognized immediately in net derivative gains (losses). In all other situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued, the derivative is carried at its estimated fair value in the balance sheets, with changes in its estimated fair value recognized in the current period as net derivative gains (losses). Embedded Derivatives The Company sells variable annuities and issues certain insurance products and investment contracts and is a party to certain reinsurance agreements that have embedded derivatives. The Company assesses each identified embedded derivative to determine whether it is required to be bifurcated. The embedded derivative is bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for as a freestanding derivative if: . the combined instrument is not accounted for in its entirety at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings; 23

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) . the terms of the embedded derivative are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract; and . a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would qualify as a derivative instrument. Such embedded derivatives are carried in the balance sheets at estimated fair value with the host contract and changes in their estimated fair value are generally reported in net derivative 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 estimated fair value, with changes in estimated fair value recognized in the current period in net investment gains (losses) or net investment income. Additionally, the Company may elect to carry an entire contract on the balance sheet at estimated fair value, with changes in estimated fair value recognized in the current period in net investment gains (losses) or net investment income if that contract contains an embedded derivative that requires bifurcation. At inception, the Company attributes to the embedded derivative a portion of the projected future guarantee fees to be collected from the policyholder equal to the present value of projected future guaranteed benefits. Any additional fees represent "excess" fees and are reported in universal life and investment-type product policy fees. Fair Value Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. In most cases, the exit price and the transaction (or entry) price will be the same at initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, fair values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are readily and regularly obtainable. When such quoted prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar but not identical assets or liabilities, or other observable inputs. If these inputs are not available, or observable inputs are not determinable, unobservable inputs and/or adjustments to observable inputs requiring management judgment are used to determine the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities. Goodwill Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from net assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and recognized. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of cost over the estimated fair value of such net assets acquired, is not amortized, and is tested for impairment based on a fair value approach at least annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that there may be justification for conducting an interim test. The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment testing during the third quarter of each year based upon data as of the close of the second quarter. Goodwill associated with a business acquisition is not tested for impairment during the year the business is acquired unless there is a significant identified impairment event. The impairment test is performed at the reporting unit level, which 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, if the carrying value of a reporting unit 24

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) exceeds its estimated fair value, there may be an indication of impairment. In such instances, the implied fair value of the goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill that would be determined in a business combination. The excess of the carrying value of goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill would be recognized as an impairment and recorded as a charge against net income. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates potential triggering events that may affect the estimated fair value of the Company's reporting units to assess whether any goodwill impairment exists. Deteriorating or adverse market conditions for certain reporting units may have a significant impact on the estimated fair value of these reporting units and could result in future impairments of goodwill. Employee Benefit Plans Pension, postretirement and postemployment benefits are provided to associates under plans sponsored and administered by MLIC, an affiliate of the Company. The Company's obligation and expense related to these benefits is limited to the amount of associated expense allocated from MLIC. Income Tax MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and all of its includable subsidiaries join with MetLife and its includable subsidiaries in filing a consolidated U.S. life and non-life federal income tax return in accordance with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Current taxes (and the benefits of tax attributes such as losses) are allocated to MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and its subsidiaries under the consolidated tax return regulations and a tax sharing agreement. Under the consolidated tax return regulations, MetLife has elected the "percentage method" (and 100 percent under such method) of reimbursing companies for tax attributes such as losses. As a result, 100 percent of tax attributes such as losses are reimbursed by MetLife to the extent that consolidated federal income tax of the consolidated federal tax return group is reduced in a year by tax attributes such as losses. Profitable subsidiaries pay MetLife each year the federal income tax which such profitable subsidiary would have paid that year based upon that year's taxable income. If MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut or its includable subsidiaries has current or prior deductions and credits (including but not limited to losses) which reduce the consolidated tax liability of the consolidated federal tax return group, the deductions and credits are characterized as realized (or realizable) by MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and its includable subsidiaries when those tax attributes are realized (or realizable) by the consolidated federal tax return group, even if MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut or its includable subsidiaries would not have realized the attributes on a stand-alone basis under a "wait and see" method. 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. 25

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (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. Factors in management's determination include the performance of the business and its ability to generate capital gains. 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: . future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards; . future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences; . taxable income in prior carryback years; and . tax planning strategies. The Company may be required to change its provision for income taxes in certain circumstances. Examples of such circumstances include 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 laws, tax regulations, or interpretations of such laws or regulations, 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 financial statements in the year these changes occur. The Company determines 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. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. Unrecognized tax benefits due to tax uncertainties that do not meet the threshold are included within other liabilities and are charged to earnings in the period that such determination is made. The Company classifies interest recognized as interest expense and penalties recognized as a component of income tax. 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 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. Legal costs are recognized as incurred. 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 financial statements. Other Accounting Policies Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid securities and other investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at amortized cost, which approximates estimated fair value. 26

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 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 the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as appropriate. Estimated lives generally range from five to 10 years for leasehold improvements, and from three to seven years for all other property and equipment. The net book value of the property, equipment and leasehold improvements was insignificant at both December 31, 2013 and 2012. Computer software, which is included in other assets, is stated at cost, less accumulated amortization. Purchased software costs, as well as certain 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 $200 million and $185 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Accumulated amortization of capitalized software was $97 million and $92 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Related amortization expense was $5 million, $10 million and $17 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Other Revenues Other revenues include, in addition to items described elsewhere herein, 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. Foreign Currency Assets, liabilities and operations of foreign affiliates and subsidiaries are recorded based on the functional currency of each entity. The determination of the functional currency is made based on the appropriate economic and management indicators. The local currencies of foreign operations are the functional currencies. Assets and liabilities of foreign affiliates and subsidiaries are translated from the functional currency to U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at each year-end and income and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rates during the year. The resulting translation adjustments are charged or credited directly to OCI, net of applicable taxes. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions, including the effect of re-measurement of monetary assets and liabilities to the appropriate functional currency, are reported as part of net investment gains (losses) in the period in which they occur. Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements Effective July 17, 2013, the Company adopted new guidance regarding derivatives that permits the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to the United States Treasury and London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). Also, this new guidance removes the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. The new guidance did not have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption, but may impact the selection of benchmark interest rates for hedging relationships in the future. 27

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted new guidance regarding comprehensive income that requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated OCI ("AOCI") by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The adoption was prospectively applied and resulted in additional disclosures in Note 12. Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted new guidance regarding balance sheet offsetting disclosures which requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements for derivatives, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions, to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effects of those arrangements on its financial position. Entities are required to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The adoption was retrospectively applied and resulted in additional disclosures related to derivatives in Note 8. On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted new guidance regarding accounting for DAC, which was retrospectively applied. The guidance specifies that only costs related directly to successful acquisition of new or renewal contracts can be capitalized as DAC; all other acquisition-related costs must be expensed as incurred. As a result, certain sales manager compensation and administrative costs previously capitalized by the Company will no longer be deferred. On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted new guidance regarding comprehensive income, which was retrospectively applied, that provides companies with the option to present the total of comprehensive income, components of net income, and the components of OCI either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements in annual financial statements. The standard eliminates the option to present components of OCI as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The Company adopted the two-statement approach for annual financial statements. Effective January 1, 2012, the Company adopted new guidance on goodwill impairment testing that simplifies how an entity tests goodwill for impairment. This new guidance allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value as a basis for determining whether it needs to perform the quantitative two-step goodwill impairment test. Only if an entity determines, based on qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying value will it be required to calculate the fair value of the reporting unit. The qualitative assessment is optional and the Company is permitted to bypass it for any reporting unit in any period and begin its impairment analysis with the quantitative calculation. The Company is permitted to perform the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. Effective January 1, 2012, the Company adopted new guidance regarding fair value measurements that establishes common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. Some of the 28

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) amendments clarify the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") intent on the application of existing fair value measurement requirements. Other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements other than the expanded disclosures in Note 9. Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements In March 2013, the FASB issued new guidance regarding foreign currency (Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity), effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2013. The amendments require an entity that ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity to apply the guidance in Subtopic 830-30, Foreign Currency Matters -- Translation of Financial Statements, to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income. Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. For an equity method investment that is a foreign entity, the partial sale guidance in section 830-30-40, Derecognition, still applies. As such, a pro rata portion of the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income upon a partial sale of such an equity method investment. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements. In February 2013, the FASB issued new guidance regarding liabilities (ASU 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date), effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim periods within those years. The amendments require an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of the guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. In addition, the amendments require an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation, as well as other information about the obligation. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements. 2. Segment Information The Company is organized into two segments: Retail and Corporate Benefit Funding. In addition, the Company reports certain of its results of operations in Corporate & Other. Retail The Retail segment offers a broad range of protection products and a variety of annuities primarily to individuals, and is organized into two businesses: Annuities and Life & Other. Annuities includes a variety of variable, fixed and indexed annuities which provide for both asset accumulation and asset distribution needs. Life & Other insurance products and services include variable life, universal life, term life and whole life products, as well as individual disability income products. Additionally, through broker-dealer affiliates, the Company offers a full range of mutual funds and other securities products. 29

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 2. Segment Information (continued) Corporate Benefit Funding The Corporate Benefit Funding segment offers a broad range of annuity and investment products, including guaranteed interest products and other stable value products, income annuities, and separate account contracts for the investment management of defined benefit and defined contribution plan assets. This segment also includes structured settlements and certain products to fund company-, bank- or trust-owned life insurance used to finance non-qualified benefit programs for executives. Corporate & Other Corporate & Other contains the excess capital not allocated to the segments, various start-up businesses, including direct and digital marketing products, run-off businesses, the Company's ancillary international operations, interest expense related to the majority of the Company's outstanding debt, as well as expenses associated with certain legal proceedings and income tax audit issues. Corporate & Other also includes the elimination of intersegment amounts. Financial Measures and Segment Accounting Policies Operating earnings is the measure of segment profit or loss the Company uses to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. Consistent with GAAP guidance for segment reporting, operating earnings is the Company's measure of segment performance and is reported below. Operating earnings should not be viewed as a substitute for income (loss) from continuing operations, net of income tax. The Company believes the presentation of operating earnings as the Company measures it for management purposes enhances the understanding of its performance by highlighting the results of operations and the underlying profitability drivers of the business. Operating earnings is defined as operating revenues less operating expenses, both net of income tax. Operating revenues excludes net investment gains (losses) and net derivative gains (losses). Operating expenses excludes goodwill impairments. The following additional adjustments are made to GAAP revenues, in the line items indicated, in calculating operating revenues: . Universal life and investment-type product policy fees excludes the amortization of unearned revenue related to net investment gains (losses) and net derivative gains (losses) and certain variable annuity GMIB fees ("GMIB Fees"); and . Net investment income: (i) includes amounts for scheduled periodic settlement payments and amortization of premium on derivatives that are hedges of investments or that are used to replicate certain investments, but do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, (ii) includes income from discontinued real estate operations, (iii) excludes post-tax operating earnings adjustments relating to insurance joint ventures accounted for under the equity method, (iv) excludes certain amounts related to contractholder-directed unit-linked investments, and (v) excludes certain amounts related to securitization entities that are VIEs consolidated under GAAP. 30

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 2. Segment Information (continued) The following additional adjustments are made to GAAP expenses, in the line items indicated, in calculating operating expenses: . Policyholder benefits and claims excludes: (i) amounts associated with periodic crediting rate adjustments based on the total return of a contractually referenced pool of assets, (ii) benefits and hedging costs related to GMIBs ("GMIB Costs"), and (iii) market value adjustments associated with surrenders or terminations of contracts ("Market Value Adjustments"); . Interest credited to policyholder account balances includes adjustments for scheduled periodic settlement payments and amortization of premium on derivatives that are hedges of PABs but do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and excludes amounts related to net investment income earned on contractholder-directed unit-linked investments; . Amortization of DAC and VOBA excludes amounts related to: (i) net investment gains (losses) and net derivative gains (losses), (ii) GMIB Fees and GMIB Costs, and (iii) Market Value Adjustments; . Interest expense on debt excludes certain amounts related to securitization entities that are VIEs consolidated under GAAP; and . Other expenses excludes costs related to: (i) implementation of new insurance regulatory requirements, and (ii) acquisition and integration costs. 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, 2013, 2012 and 2011 and at December 31, 2013 and 2012. The segment accounting policies are the same as those used to prepare the Company's consolidated financial statements, except for operating earnings adjustments as defined above. In addition, segment accounting policies include the method of capital allocation described below. 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 MetLife's and the Company's business. MetLife's economic capital model aligns segment allocated equity with emerging standards and consistent risk principles. The model applies statistics-based risk evaluation principles to the material risks to which the Company is exposed. These consistent risk principles include calibrating required economic capital shock factors to a specific confidence level and time horizon and applying an industry standard method for the inclusion of diversification benefits among risk types. Segment net investment income is credited or charged based on the level of allocated equity; however, changes in allocated equity do not impact the Company's consolidated net investment income, operating earnings or income (loss) from continuing operations, net of income tax. Net investment income is based upon the actual results of each segment's specifically identifiable investment portfolios adjusted for allocated equity. Other costs are allocated to each of the segments based upon: (i) a review of the nature of such costs; (ii) time studies analyzing the amount of employee compensation costs incurred by each segment; and (iii) cost estimates included in the Company's product pricing. 31

Variable Annuity Guarantees In the Event of Death Defined as the death benefit less the total contract account value, as of the balance sheet date. It represents the amount of the claim that the Company would incur if death claims were filed on all contracts on the balance sheet date and includes any additional contractual claims associated with riders purchased to assist with covering income taxes payable upon death. At Annuitization Defined as the amount (if any) that would be required to be added to the total contract account value to purchase a lifetime income stream, based on current annuity rates, equal to the minimum amount provided under the guaranteed benefit. This amount represents the Company's potential economic exposure to such guarantees in the event all contractholders were to annuitize on the balance sheet date, even though the contracts contain terms that allow annuitization of the guaranteed amount only after the 10th anniversary of the contract, which not all contractholders have achieved. Universal and Variable Life Contracts Defined as the guarantee amount less the account value, as of the balance sheet date. It represents the amount of the claim that the Company would incur if death claims were filed on all contracts on the balance sheet date. The amounts in the table below include direct business, but exclude offsets from hedging or reinsurance, if any. See Note 6 for a discussion of certain living and death benefit guarantees which have been reinsured. Therefore, the NARs presented below reflect the economic exposures of living and death benefit guarantees associated with variable annuities, but not necessarily their impact on the Company. 39

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 5.Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs, Value of Business Acquired and Other Policy-Related Intangibles (continued) Nonparticipating and Non-Dividend-Paying Traditional Contracts The Company amortizes DAC and VOBA related to these contracts (primarily term insurance) over the appropriate premium paying period in proportion to the historic actual and expected future gross premiums that were set at contract issue. The expected premiums are based upon the premium requirement of each policy and assumptions for mortality, persistency and investment returns at policy issuance, or policy acquisition (as it relates to VOBA), 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. Participating, Dividend-Paying Traditional Contracts The Company amortizes DAC related to these 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. Of these factors, the Company anticipates that investment returns, expenses, persistency and other factor changes, as well as policyholder dividend scales are reasonably likely to impact significantly the rate of DAC 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 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 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. When expected future gross margins are below those previously estimated, the DAC amortization will increase, resulting in a current period charge to earnings. The opposite result occurs when the expected future gross margins are above the previously estimated expected future gross margins. Each period, the Company also reviews the estimated gross margins for each block of business to determine the recoverability of DAC balances. Fixed and Variable Universal Life Contracts and Fixed and Variable Deferred Annuity Contracts The Company amortizes DAC and VOBA related to these 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 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 43

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 5.Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs, Value of Business Acquired and Other Policy-Related Intangibles (continued) 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. When expected future gross profits are below those previously estimated, the DAC and VOBA amortization will increase, resulting in a current period charge to earnings. The opposite result occurs when the expected future gross profits are above the previously estimated expected future gross profits. Each period, the Company also reviews the estimated gross profits for each block of business to determine the recoverability of DAC and VOBA balances. Factors Impacting Amortization 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, which can result in significant fluctuations in amortization of DAC and VOBA. 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 and living 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 events and only changes the assumption when its long-term expectation changes. The Company also periodically reviews other long-term assumptions underlying the projections of estimated gross margins and profits. These assumptions primarily relate to 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. Periodically, the Company modifies product benefits, features, rights or coverages that occur by the exchange of a contract for a new contract, or by amendment, endorsement, or rider to a contract, or by election or coverage within a contract. If such modification, referred to as an internal replacement, substantially changes the contract, the associated DAC or VOBA is written off immediately through income and any new deferrable costs associated with the replacement contract are deferred. If the modification does not substantially change the contract, the DAC or VOBA amortization on the original contract will continue and any acquisition costs associated with the related modification are expensed. Amortization of DAC and VOBA is attributed to net investment gains (losses) and net derivative gains (losses), and to other expenses for the amount of gross margins or profits originating from transactions other than investment gains and losses. Unrealized investment gains and losses represent the amount of DAC and VOBA that would have been amortized if such gains and losses had been recognized. 44

Reinsurance The Company enters into reinsurance agreements primarily as a purchaser of reinsurance for its various insurance products and also as a provider of reinsurance for some insurance products issued by affiliated and unaffiliated companies. The Company participates in reinsurance activities in order to limit losses, minimize exposure to significant risks and provide additional capacity for future growth. 46

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 6. Reinsurance (continued) 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 in Note 7. Retail The Company's Retail Annuities business reinsures 100% of the living and death benefit guarantees issued in connection with most of its variable annuities issued since 2006 to an affiliated reinsurer and certain portions of the living and death benefit guarantees issued in connection with its variable annuities issued prior to 2006 to affiliated and unaffiliated reinsurers. Under these reinsurance agreements, the Company pays a reinsurance premium generally based on fees associated with the guarantees collected from policyholders, and receives reimbursement for benefits paid or accrued in excess of account values, subject to certain limitations. The Company also reinsures 90% of its fixed annuities to an affiliated reinsurer. The value of the embedded derivatives on the ceded risk is determined using a methodology consistent with the guarantees directly written by the Company with the exception of the input for nonperformance risk that reflects the credit of the reinsurer. For its Retail Life & Other insurance products, the Company has historically reinsured the mortality risk primarily on an excess of retention basis or on a quota share basis. The Company currently reinsures 100% of the mortality risk in excess of $100,000 per life for most new policies and reinsures up to 100% of the mortality risk for certain other policies. In addition to reinsuring mortality risk as described above, the Company reinsures other risks, as well as specific coverages. Placement of reinsurance is done primarily on an automatic basis and also on a facultative basis for risks with specified characteristics. The Company also reinsures the risk associated with secondary death benefit guarantees on certain universal life insurance policies to affiliates. The Company evaluates its reinsurance programs routinely and may increase or decrease its retention at any time. Corporate Benefit Funding The Company's Corporate Benefit Funding segment has periodically engaged in reinsurance activities, on an opportunistic basis. The impact of these activities on the financial results of this segment has not been significant and there were no additional transactions during the periods presented. Corporate & Other The Company also reinsures, through 100% quota share reinsurance agreements, certain run-off LTC and workers' compensation business written by the Company. Catastrophe Coverage 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 agreements to provide greater diversification of risk and minimize exposure to larger risks. 47

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 6. Reinsurance (continued) Reinsurance Recoverables The Company reinsures its business through a diversified group of well-capitalized reinsurers. The Company analyzes recent trends in arbitration and litigation outcomes in disputes, if any, with its reinsurers. The Company monitors ratings and evaluates the financial strength of its reinsurers by analyzing their financial statements. In addition, the reinsurance recoverable balance due from each reinsurer is evaluated as part of the overall monitoring process. Recoverability of reinsurance recoverable balances is evaluated based on these analyses. The Company generally secures large reinsurance recoverable balances with various forms of collateral, including secured trusts, funds withheld accounts and irrevocable letters of credit. These reinsurance recoverable balances are stated net of allowances for uncollectible reinsurance, which at December 31, 2013 and 2012, were not significant. The Company has secured certain reinsurance recoverable balances with various forms of collateral, including secured trusts, funds withheld accounts and irrevocable letters of credit. The Company had $2.0 billion and $2.2 billion of unsecured unaffiliated reinsurance recoverable balances at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. At December 31, 2013, the Company had $7.5 billion of net unaffiliated ceded reinsurance recoverables. Of this total, $6.7 billion, or 89%, were with the Company's five largest unaffiliated ceded reinsurers, including $1.2 billion of net unaffiliated ceded reinsurance recoverables which were unsecured. At December 31, 2012, the Company had $7.2 billion of net unaffiliated ceded reinsurance recoverables. Of this total, $6.5 billion, or 90%, were with the Company's five largest unaffiliated ceded reinsurers, including $1.4 billion of net unaffiliated ceded reinsurance recoverables which were unsecured. 48

The agreement covers certain term and certain universal life policies issued in 2012 by MLI-USA and was amended in 2013 to include certain term and universal life policies issued by MLI-USA through December 31, 2013. The agreement transfers risk to MRD and, therefore, is accounted for as reinsurance. As a result of the agreement, affiliated reinsurance recoverables, included in premiums, reinsurance and other receivables, were $917 million and $407 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. MLI-USA also recorded a funds withheld liability and other reinsurance payables, included in other liabilities, which were $798 million and $438 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Certain contractual features of this agreement qualify as embedded derivatives, which are separately accounted for at fair value on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The embedded derivative related to the funds withheld associated with this reinsurance agreement is included within other liabilities and was ($14) million and $6 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company's consolidated statements of operations reflected a loss for this agreement of $50 million and $37 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which included net derivative gains (losses) of $20 million and ($6) million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to the embedded derivative. The Company ceded risks to affiliates related to guaranteed minimum benefit guarantees written directly by the Company. These ceded reinsurance agreements contain embedded derivatives and changes in their fair value are also included within net derivative gains (losses). The embedded derivatives associated with the cessions are included within premiums, reinsurance and other receivables and were assets of $912 million and $3.6 billion at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Net derivative gains (losses) associated with the embedded derivatives were ($3.0) billion, $524 million, and $1.6 billion for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. MLI-USA ceded two blocks of business to an affiliate on a 90% coinsurance with funds withheld basis.

Net derivative gains (losses) associated with the embedded derivatives were $498 million, ($107) million and ($434) million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company has secured certain reinsurance recoverable balances with various forms of collateral, including secured trusts, funds withheld accounts and irrevocable letters of credit. The Company had $5.9 billion and $6.1 billion of unsecured affiliated reinsurance recoverable balances at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Affiliated reinsurance agreements that do not expose the Company to a reasonable possibility of a significant loss from insurance risk are recorded using the deposit method of accounting. The deposit assets on affiliated reinsurance were $4.4 billion and $4.6 billion at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. There were no deposit liabilities on affiliated reinsurance at both December 31, 2013 and 2012. 7. Investments See Note 9 for information about the fair value hierarchy for investments and the related valuation methodologies. Investment Risks and Uncertainties Investments are exposed to the following primary sources of risk: credit, interest rate, liquidity, market valuation, currency and real estate risk. The financial statement risks, stemming from such investment risks, are those associated with the determination of estimated fair values, the diminished ability to sell certain investments in times of strained market conditions, the recognition of impairments, the recognition of income on certain investments and the potential consolidation of VIEs. The use of different methodologies, assumptions and inputs relating to these financial statement risks may have a material effect on the amounts presented within the consolidated financial statements. The determination of valuation allowances and impairments is highly subjective and is based upon periodic evaluations and assessments 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. The recognition of income on certain investments (e.g. structured securities, including mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities ("ABS") and certain structured investment transactions) is dependent upon certain factors such as prepayments and defaults, and changes in such factors could result in changes in amounts to be earned. 53

Methodology for Amortization of Premium and Accretion of Discount on Structured Securities Amortization of premium and accretion of discount on structured 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 originally anticipated and the actual prepayments received and currently anticipated. Prepayment assumptions for single class and multi-class mortgage-backed and ABS are estimated using inputs obtained from third-party specialists and based on management's knowledge of the current market. For credit-sensitive mortgage-backed and ABS and certain prepayment-sensitive securities, the effective yield is recalculated on a prospective basis. For all other mortgage-backed and ABS, the effective yield is recalculated on a retrospective basis. 54

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 in the impairment evaluation process include, but are not limited to: (i) the length of time and the extent to which the estimated fair value has been below cost or amortized cost; (ii) the potential for impairments 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 where the issuer, series of issuers or industry has suffered a catastrophic loss or has exhausted 56

Investments (continued) natural resources; (vi) with respect to fixed maturity securities, whether the Company has the intent to sell or will more likely than not be required to sell a particular security before the decline in estimated fair value below amortized cost recovers; (vii) with respect to structured securities, changes in forecasted cash flows after considering the quality of underlying collateral, expected prepayment speeds, current and forecasted loss severity, consideration of the payment terms of the underlying assets backing a particular security, and the payment priority within the tranche structure of the security; and (viii) other subjective factors, including concentrations and information obtained from regulators and rating agencies. The methodology and significant inputs used to determine the amount of credit loss on fixed maturity securities are as follows: . The Company calculates the recovery value by performing a discounted cash flow analysis based on the present value of future cash flows. The discount rate is generally the effective interest rate of the security prior to impairment. . When determining collectability and the period over which value is expected to recover, the Company applies considerations utilized in its overall impairment evaluation process which incorporates information regarding the specific security, fundamentals of the industry and geographic area in which the security issuer operates, and overall macroeconomic conditions. Projected future cash flows are estimated using assumptions derived from management's best estimates of likely scenario-based outcomes after giving consideration to a variety of variables that include, but are not limited to: payment terms of the security; the likelihood that the issuer can service the interest and principal payments; the quality and amount of any credit enhancements; the security's position within the capital structure of the issuer; possible corporate restructurings or asset sales by the issuer; and changes to the rating of the security or the issuer by rating agencies. . Additional considerations are made when assessing the unique features that apply to certain structured securities including, but not limited to: the quality of underlying collateral, expected prepayment speeds, current and forecasted loss severity, consideration of the payment terms of the underlying loans or assets backing a particular security, and the payment priority within the tranche structure of the security. . When determining the amount of the credit loss for U.S. and foreign corporate securities, foreign government securities and state and political subdivision securities, the estimated fair value is considered the recovery value when available information does not indicate that another value is more appropriate. When information is identified that indicates a recovery value other than estimated fair value, management considers in the determination of recovery value the same considerations utilized in its overall impairment evaluation process as described above, as well as any private and public sector programs to restructure such securities. With respect to securities that have attributes of debt and equity (perpetual hybrid securities), consideration is given in the OTTI analysis as to whether there has been any deterioration in the credit of the issuer and the likelihood of recovery in value of the securities that are in a severe and extended unrealized loss position. Consideration is also given as to whether any perpetual hybrid securities, with an unrealized loss, regardless of credit rating, have deferred any dividend payments. When an OTTI loss has occurred, the OTTI loss is the entire difference between the perpetual hybrid security's cost and its estimated fair value with a corresponding charge to earnings. 57

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 7. Investments (continued) The cost or amortized cost of fixed maturity and equity securities is adjusted for OTTI in the period in which the determination is made. The Company does not change the revised cost basis for subsequent recoveries in value. In periods subsequent to the recognition of OTTI on a fixed maturity security, the Company accounts for the impaired security as if it had been purchased on the measurement date of the impairment. Accordingly, the discount (or reduced premium) based on the new cost basis is accreted over the remaining term of the fixed maturity security in a prospective manner based on the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows. Current Period Evaluation Based on the Company's current evaluation of its AFS securities in an unrealized loss position in accordance with its impairment policy, and the Company's current intentions and assessments (as applicable to the type of security) about holding, selling and any requirements to sell these securities, the Company has concluded that these securities are not other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2013. Future OTTI will depend primarily on economic fundamentals, issuer performance (including changes in the present value of future cash flows expected to be collected), and changes in credit ratings, collateral valuation, interest rates and credit spreads. If economic fundamentals deteriorate or if there are adverse changes in the above factors, OTTI may be incurred in upcoming periods. Gross unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities increased $436 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 from $275 million to $711 million. The increase in gross unrealized losses for the year ended December 31, 2013, was primarily attributable to an increase in interest rates, partially offset by narrowing credit spreads. At December 31, 2013, $61 million of the total $711 million of gross unrealized losses were from 18 fixed maturity securities with an unrealized loss position of 20% or more of amortized cost for six months or greater. Investment Grade Fixed Maturity Securities Of the $61 million of gross unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities with an unrealized loss of 20% or more of amortized cost for six months or greater, $41 million, or 67%, are related to gross unrealized losses on 13 investment grade fixed maturity securities. Unrealized losses on investment grade fixed maturity securities are principally related to widening credit spreads, and with respect to fixed-rate fixed maturity securities, rising interest rates since purchase. Below Investment Grade Fixed Maturity Securities Of the $61 million of gross unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities with an unrealized loss of 20% or more of amortized cost for six months or greater, $20 million, or 33%, are related to gross unrealized losses on five below investment grade fixed maturity securities. Unrealized losses on below investment grade fixed maturity securities are principally related to non-agency RMBS (primarily alternative residential mortgage loans) and are the result of significantly wider credit spreads resulting from higher risk premiums since purchase, largely due to economic and market uncertainties including concerns over unemployment levels and valuations of residential real estate supporting non-agency RMBS. Management evaluates non-agency RMBS 58

Investments (continued) value of a loan over either (i) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate, (ii) the estimated fair value of the loan's underlying collateral if the loan is in the process of foreclosure or otherwise collateral dependent, or (iii) the loan's observable market price. A common evaluation framework is used for establishing non-specific valuation allowances for both loan portfolio segments; however, a separate non-specific valuation allowance is calculated and maintained for each loan portfolio segment that is based on inputs unique to each loan portfolio segment. Non-specific valuation allowances are established for pools of loans with similar risk characteristics where a property-specific or market-specific risk has not been identified, but for which the Company expects to incur a credit loss. These evaluations are based upon several loan portfolio segment-specific factors, including the Company's experience for loan losses, defaults and loss severity, and loss expectations for loans with similar risk characteristics. These evaluations are revised as conditions change and new information becomes available. Commercial and Agricultural Mortgage Loan Portfolio Segments The Company typically uses several years of historical experience in establishing non-specific valuation allowances which captures multiple economic cycles. For evaluations of commercial mortgage loans, in addition to historical experience, management considers factors that include the impact of a rapid change to the economy, which may not be reflected in the loan portfolio, and recent loss and recovery trend experience as compared to historical loss and recovery experience. For evaluations of agricultural mortgage loans, in addition to historical experience, management considers factors that include increased stress in certain sectors, which may be evidenced by higher delinquency rates, or a change in the number of higher risk loans. On a quarterly basis, management incorporates the impact of these current market events and conditions on historical experience in determining the non-specific valuation allowance established for commercial and agricultural mortgage loans. All commercial mortgage loans are reviewed on an ongoing basis which may include an analysis of the property financial statements and rent roll, lease rollover analysis, property inspections, market analysis, estimated valuations of the underlying collateral, loan-to-value ratios, debt service coverage ratios, and tenant creditworthiness. All agricultural mortgage loans are monitored on an ongoing basis. The monitoring process focuses on higher risk loans, which include those that are classified as restructured, delinquent or in foreclosure, as well as loans with higher loan-to-value ratios and lower debt service coverage ratios. The monitoring process for agricultural mortgage loans is generally similar to the commercial mortgage loan monitoring process, with a focus on higher risk loans, including reviews on a geographic and property-type basis. Higher risk loans are reviewed individually on an ongoing basis for potential credit loss and specific valuation allowances are established using the methodology described above. Quarterly, the remaining loans are reviewed on a pool basis by aggregating groups of loans that have similar risk characteristics for potential credit loss, and non-specific valuation allowances are established as described above using inputs that are unique to each segment of the loan portfolio. For commercial mortgage loans, the primary credit quality indicator is the debt service coverage ratio, which compares a property's net operating income to amounts needed to service the principal and interest due under the loan. Generally, the lower the debt service coverage ratio, the higher the risk of experiencing a credit loss. The Company also reviews the loan-to-value ratio of its commercial mortgage loan portfolio. Loan-to-value ratios compare the unpaid principal balance of the loan to the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. Generally, the higher the loan-to-value ratio, the higher the risk of experiencing a credit loss. The debt service coverage ratio and loan-to-value ratio, as well as the values utilized in calculating these ratios, are updated annually, on a rolling basis, with a portion of the loan portfolio updated each quarter. 61

Through the continuous monitoring process, a specific valuation allowance may have been recorded prior to the quarter when the mortgage loan is modified in a troubled debt restructuring. Accordingly, the carrying value (after specific valuation allowance) before and after modification through a troubled debt restructuring may not change significantly, or may increase if the expected recovery is higher than the pre-modification recovery assessment. The Company had one agricultural mortgage loan modified in a troubled debt restructuring with a pre-modification and post-modification carrying value of $4 million during the year ended December 31, 2013. There were no agricultural mortgage loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring during the year ended December 31, 2012. There were no commercial mortgage loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring during the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company had one commercial mortgage loan modified during the year ended December 31, 2012 in a troubled debt restructuring which had a carrying value after specific valuation allowance of $53 million pre-modification and $48 million post-modification. There were no mortgage loans during the previous 12 months modified in a troubled debt restructuring with a subsequent payment default at December 31, 2013 and 2012. Payment default is determined in the same manner as delinquency status as described above. Other Invested Assets Other invested assets is comprised primarily of freestanding derivatives with positive estimated fair values (see Note 8), loans to affiliates (see "-- Related Party Investment Transactions), tax credit and renewable energy partnerships and leveraged leases.

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 7. Investments (continued) are classified as purchased credit impaired ("PCI") investments. For each investment, the excess of the cash flows expected to be collected as of the acquisition date over its acquisition date fair value is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized as net investment income on an effective yield basis. If subsequently, based on current information and events, it is probable that there is a significant increase in cash flows previously expected to be collected or if actual cash flows are significantly greater than cash flows previously expected to be collected, the accretable yield is adjusted prospectively. The excess of the contractually required payments (including interest) as of the acquisition date over the cash flows expected to be collected as of the acquisition date is referred to as the nonaccretable difference, and this amount is not expected to be realized as net investment income. Decreases in cash flows expected to be collected can result in OTTI. The Company's PCI fixed maturity securities were as follows at: [Download Table] December 31, --------------------- 2013 2012 ---------- ---------- (In millions) Outstanding principal and interest balance (1). $ 648 $ 560 Carrying value (2)............................. $ 498 $ 459 -------- (1)Represents the contractually required payments, which is the sum of contractual principal, whether or not currently due, and accrued interest.

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 7. Investments (continued) Collectively Significant Equity Method Investments The Company holds investments in real estate joint ventures, real estate funds and other limited partnership interests consisting of leveraged buy-out funds, hedge funds, private equity funds, joint ventures and other funds. The portion of these investments accounted for under the equity method had a carrying value of $2.6 billion at December 31, 2013. The Company's maximum exposure to loss related to these equity method investments is limited to the carrying value of these investments plus unfunded commitments of $862 million at December 31, 2013. Except for certain real estate joint ventures, the Company's investments in real estate funds and other limited partnership interests are generally of a passive nature in that the Company does not participate in the management of the entities. As described in Note 1, the Company generally records its share of earnings in its equity method investments using a three-month lag methodology and within net investment income. Aggregate net investment income from these equity method investments exceeded 10% of the Company's consolidated pre-tax income (loss) from continuing operations. This aggregated summarized financial data does not represent the Company's proportionate share of the assets, liabilities, or earnings of such entities. The aggregated summarized financial data presented below reflects the latest available financial information and is as of, and for, the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. Aggregate total assets of these entities totaled $217.3 billion and $178.3 billion at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Aggregate total liabilities of these entities totaled $16.3 billion and $12.4 billion at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Aggregate net income (loss) of these entities totaled $20.9 billion, $13.1 billion and $7.1 billion for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Aggregate net income (loss) from the underlying entities in which the Company invests is primarily comprised of investment income, including recurring investment income and realized and unrealized investment gains (losses). Variable Interest Entities The Company has invested in certain structured transactions that are VIEs. In certain instances, the Company holds both the power to direct the most significant activities of the entity, as well as an economic interest in the entity and, as such, is deemed to be the primary beneficiary or consolidator of the entity. The determination of the VIE's primary beneficiary requires an evaluation of the contractual and implied rights and obligations associated with each party's relationship with or involvement in the entity, an estimate of the entity's expected losses and expected residual returns and the allocation of such estimates to each party involved in the entity. The Company generally uses a qualitative approach to determine whether it is the primary beneficiary. However, for VIEs that are investment companies or apply measurement principles consistent with those utilized by investment companies, the primary beneficiary is based on a risks and rewards model and is defined as the entity that will absorb a majority of a VIE's expected losses, receive a majority of a VIE's expected residual returns if no single entity absorbs a majority of expected losses, or both. The Company reassesses its involvement with VIEs on a quarterly basis. The use of different methodologies, assumptions and inputs in the determination of the primary beneficiary could have a material effect on the amounts presented within the consolidated financial statements. 69

The Company's exposure was limited to that of its remaining investment in these entities of $120 million and $92 million at estimated fair value at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The long-term debt bears interest primarily at fixed rates ranging from 2.25% to 5.57%, payable primarily on a monthly basis.

The maximum exposure to loss relating to other limited partnership interests and real estate joint ventures is equal to the carrying amounts plus any unfunded commitments of the Company. For its investments in other invested assets, the Company's return is in the form of income tax credits. For such investments, the maximum exposure to loss is equal to the carrying amounts plus any unfunded commitment. Such a maximum loss would be expected to occur only upon bankruptcy of the issuer or investee. (2)For these variable interests, the Company's involvement is limited to that of a passive investor. As described in Note 15, the Company makes commitments to fund partnership investments in the normal course of business. Excluding these commitments, the Company did not provide financial or other support to investees designated as VIEs during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. 71

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 7. Investments (continued) subsidiaries, which own operating real estate with a fair value in excess of the loans. Net investment income from these affiliated loans was $16 million, $17 million and $14 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company has affiliated loans outstanding, which are included in other invested assets, totaling $430 million at both December 31, 2013 and 2012. At December 31, 2011, the loans were outstanding with Exeter, an affiliate. During 2012, MetLife assumed this affiliated debt from Exeter. The loans of $305 million, issued by MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and $125 million, issued by MLI-USA, are due on July 15, 2021 and December 16, 2021, respectively, and bear interest, payable semi-annually, at 5.64% and 5.86%, respectively. Net investment income from these affiliated loans was $25 million, $25 million and $8 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In July 2013, the Company committed to lend up to $1.8 billion to Exeter, an affiliate, pursuant to a note purchase agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut committed to purchase up to $1.3 billion of notes and MLI-USA committed to purchase up to $438 million of notes through December 31, 2014. The notes will be due not later than three years after issuance. The repayment of any notes issued pursuant to this agreement is guaranteed by MetLife. In October 2013, pursuant to this agreement, the Company issued loans to Exeter which are included in other invested assets, totaling $500 million at December 31, 2013. The loans of $375 million, issued by MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut, and $125 million, issued by MLI-USA, are both due October 15, 2015, and bear interest, payable semi-annually, at 2.47%. Net investment income from this loan was $3 million at December 31, 2013.

Derivatives Accounting for Derivatives See Note 1 for a description of the Company's accounting policies for derivatives and Note 9 for information about the fair value hierarchy for derivatives. Derivative Strategies The Company is exposed to various risks relating to its ongoing business operations, including interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate, credit and equity market. The Company uses a variety of strategies to manage these risks, including the use of derivatives. Derivatives are financial instruments whose values are derived from interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, credit spreads and/or other financial indices. Derivatives may be exchange-traded or contracted in the 76

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 8. Derivatives (continued) over-the-counter ("OTC") market. Certain of the Company's OTC derivatives are cleared and settled through central clearing counterparties ("OTC-cleared"), while others are bilateral contracts between two counterparties ("OTC-bilateral"). The types of derivatives the Company uses include swaps, forwards, futures and option contracts. To a lesser extent, the Company uses credit default swaps to synthetically replicate investment risks and returns which are not readily available in the cash market. Interest Rate Derivatives The Company uses a variety of interest rate derivatives to reduce its exposure to changes in interest rates, including interest rate swaps, caps, floors, futures and forwards. 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 amount. The Company utilizes interest rate swaps in fair value, cash flow and non-qualifying hedging relationships. The Company purchases interest rate caps and floors 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, as well as to protect its minimum rate guarantee liabilities against declines in interest rates below a specified level, respectively. In certain instances, the Company locks in the economic impact of existing purchased caps and floors by entering into offsetting written caps and floors. The Company utilizes interest rate caps and floors in non-qualifying hedging relationships. In exchange-traded interest rate (Treasury and swap) 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 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 Company utilizes exchange-traded interest rate futures in non-qualifying hedging relationships. Inflation swaps are used as an economic hedge to reduce inflation risk generated from inflation-indexed liabilities. Inflation swaps are included in interest rate swaps. The Company utilizes inflation swaps in non-qualifying hedging relationships. The Company enters into interest rate 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. The Company utilizes interest rate forwards in cash flow hedging relationships. 77

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 8. Derivatives (continued) Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Derivatives The Company uses foreign currency swaps to reduce the risk from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with its assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. 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 fixed exchange rate, generally set at inception, calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional amount. The notional amount of each currency is exchanged at the inception and termination of the currency swap by each party. The Company utilizes foreign currency swaps in fair value, cash flow and non-qualifying hedging relationships. To a lesser extent, the Company uses foreign currency forwards in non-qualifying hedging relationships. Credit Derivatives The Company enters into purchased credit default swaps to hedge against credit-related changes in the value of its investments. In a credit default swap transaction, the Company agrees with another party to pay, at specified intervals, a premium to hedge credit risk. If a credit event occurs, as defined by the contract, the contract may be cash settled or it may 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 events vary by type of issuer but typically include bankruptcy, failure to pay debt obligations, repudiation, moratorium, or involuntary restructuring. In each case, payout on a credit default swap is triggered only after the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee of the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA") deems that a credit event has occurred. The Company utilizes credit default swaps in non-qualifying hedging relationships. The Company enters into written credit default swaps to synthetically create credit investments that are either more expensive to acquire or otherwise unavailable in the cash markets. These transactions are a combination of a derivative and one or more cash instruments, such as U.S. Treasury securities, agency securities or other fixed maturity securities. These credit default swaps are not designated as hedging instruments. To a lesser extent, the Company uses credit forwards to lock in the price to be paid for forward purchases of certain securities. The Company utilizes credit forwards in cash flow hedging relationships. Equity Derivatives The Company uses a variety of equity derivatives to reduce its exposure to equity market risk, including equity index options, variance swaps and exchange-traded equity futures. 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. In certain instances, the Company may enter into a combination of transactions to hedge adverse changes in equity indices within a pre-determined range through the purchase and sale of options. The Company utilizes equity index options in non-qualifying hedging relationships. 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. The Company utilizes equity variance swaps in non-qualifying hedging relationships. 78

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 8. Derivatives (continued) In exchange-traded 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 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 equity futures are used primarily to hedge liabilities embedded in certain variable annuity products offered by the Company. The Company utilizes exchange-traded equity futures in non-qualifying hedging relationships. To a lesser extent, the Company also uses total rate of return swaps ("TRRs") to hedge its equity market guarantees in certain of its insurance products. The Company utilizes TRRs in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 8. Derivatives (continued) Based on notional amounts, a substantial portion of the Company's derivatives was not designated or did not qualify as part of a hedging relationship at both December 31, 2013 and 2012. The Company's use of derivatives includes (i) derivatives that serve as macro hedges of the Company's exposure to various risks and that generally do not qualify for hedge accounting due to the criteria required under the portfolio hedging rules; (ii) derivatives that economically hedge insurance liabilities that contain mortality or morbidity risk and that generally do not qualify for hedge accounting because the lack of these risks in the derivatives cannot support an expectation of a highly effective hedging relationship; (iii) derivatives that economically hedge embedded derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting because the changes in estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives are already recorded in net income; and (iv) written credit default swaps that are used to synthetically create credit investments and that do not qualify for hedge accounting because they do not involve a hedging relationship. For these non-qualified derivatives, changes in market factors can lead to the recognition of fair value changes in the consolidated statement of operations without an offsetting gain or loss recognized in earnings for the item being hedged. Net Derivative Gains (Losses) The components of net derivative gains (losses) were as follows: [Download Table] Years Ended December 31, --------------------------------- 2013 2012 2011 ------------- ---------- -------- (In millions) Derivatives and hedging gains (losses) (1). $ (958) $ (289) $ 846 Embedded derivatives.......................

Cash Flow Hedges The Company designates and accounts for the following as cash flow hedges when they have met the requirements of cash flow hedging: (i) interest rate swaps to convert floating rate assets and liabilities to fixed rate assets and liabilities; (ii) foreign currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency cash flow exposure of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities; (iii) interest rate forwards and credit forwards to lock in the price to be paid for forward purchases of investments; and (iv) interest rate swaps and interest rate forwards to hedge the forecasted purchases of fixed-rate investments. In certain instances, the Company discontinued cash flow hedge accounting because the forecasted transactions were no longer probable of occurring. Because certain of the forecasted transactions also were not probable of occurring within two months of the anticipated date, the Company reclassified certain amounts from AOCI into net derivative gains (losses). These amounts were $0 for both years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and $1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the maximum length of time over which the Company was hedging its exposure to variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions did not exceed six years and seven years, respectively. 82

Credit Derivatives In connection with synthetically created credit investment transactions, the Company writes credit default swaps for which it receives a premium to insure credit risk. Such credit derivatives are included within the non-qualifying derivatives and derivatives for purposes other than hedging table. If a credit event occurs, as defined by the contract, the contract may be cash settled or it may be settled gross by the Company paying the counterparty the specified swap notional amount in exchange for the delivery of par quantities of the referenced credit obligation. The Company's maximum amount at risk, assuming the value of all referenced credit obligations is zero, was $2.2 billion and $2.5 billion at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company can terminate these contracts at any time through cash settlement with the counterparty at an amount equal to the then current fair value of the credit default swaps. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company would have received $38 million and $22 million, respectively, to terminate all of these contracts. 83

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 8. Derivatives (continued) The Company manages its credit risk related to derivatives by entering into transactions with creditworthy counterparties and establishing and monitoring exposure limits. The Company's OTC-bilateral derivative transactions are generally governed by ISDA Master Agreements which provide for legally enforceable set-off and close-out netting of exposures to specific counterparties in the event of early termination of a transaction, which includes, but is not limited to, events of default and bankruptcy. In the event of an early termination, the Company is permitted to set off receivables from the counterparty against payables to the same counterparty arising out of all included transactions. Substantially all of the Company's ISDA Master Agreements also include Credit Support Annex provisions which require both the pledging and accepting of collateral in connection with its OTC-bilateral derivatives. The Company's OTC-cleared derivatives are effected through central clearing counterparties and its exchange-traded derivatives are effected through regulated exchanges. Such positions are marked to market and margined on a daily basis, and the Company has minimal exposure to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to such derivatives. See Note 9 for a description of the impact of credit risk on the valuation of derivatives. The estimated fair value of the Company's net derivative assets and net derivative liabilities after the application of master netting agreements and collateral was as follows at: [Enlarge/Download Table] December 31, 2013 December 31, 2012 Derivatives Subject to a Master Netting Arrangement or a Similar -------------------- -------------------- Arrangement Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities ---------------------------------------------------------------- -------- ----------- -------- ----------- (In millions) Gross estimated fair value of derivatives: OTC-bilateral (1).............................................. $ 1,450 $ 851 $ 2,436 $ 982 OTC-cleared (1)................................................ 50 9 -- -- Exchange-traded................................................ -- 6 -- 34 -------- -------- -------- -------- Total gross estimated fair value of derivatives (1).......... 1,500 866 2,436 1,016 Amounts offset in the consolidated balance sheets............... -- -- -- -- -------- -------- -------- -------- Estimated fair value of derivatives presented in the consolidated balance sheets (1)............................... 1,500 866 2,436 1,016 Gross amounts not offset in the consolidated balance sheets: Gross estimated fair value of derivatives: (2) OTC-bilateral..................................................

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 8. Derivatives (continued) -------- (1)At December 31, 2013 and 2012, derivative assets include income or expense accruals reported in accrued investment income or in other liabilities of $40 million and $66 million, respectively, and derivative liabilities include income or expense accruals reported in accrued investment income or in other liabilities of $25 million and $46 million, respectively. (2)Estimated fair value of derivatives is limited to the amount that is subject to set-off and includes income or expense accruals. (3)Cash collateral received is included in cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, or in fixed maturity securities, and the obligation to return it is included in payables for collateral under securities loaned and other transactions in the consolidated balance sheets. The receivable for the return of cash collateral provided by the Company is inclusive of initial margin on exchange-traded and OTC-cleared derivatives and is included in premiums, reinsurance and other receivables in the consolidated balance sheets. The amount of cash collateral offset in the table above is limited to the net estimated fair value of derivatives after application of netting agreements. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company received excess cash collateral of $21 million and $0, respectively, and provided excess cash collateral of $19 million and $53 million, respectively, which is not included in the table above due to the foregoing limitation. (4)Securities collateral received by the Company is held in separate custodial accounts and is not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. Subject to certain constraints, the Company is permitted by contract to sell or repledge this collateral, but at December 31, 2013 none of the collateral had been sold or repledged. Securities collateral pledged by the Company is reported in fixed maturity securities in the consolidated balance sheets. Subject to certain constraints, the counterparties are permitted by contract to sell or repledge this collateral. The amount of securities collateral offset in the table above is limited to the net estimated fair value of derivatives after application of netting agreements and cash collateral. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company received excess securities collateral with an estimated fair value of $34 million and $0, respectively, for its OTC-bilateral derivatives, which are not included in the table above due to the foregoing limitation. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company provided excess securities collateral with an estimated fair value of $1 million and $0, respectively, for its OTC-bilateral derivatives, $29 million and $0, respectively, for its OTC-cleared derivatives and $46 million and $0, respectively, for its exchange-traded derivatives, which are not included in the table above due to the foregoing limitation. The Company's collateral arrangements for its OTC-bilateral derivatives generally require the counterparty in a net liability position, after considering the effect of netting agreements, to pledge collateral when the fair value of that counterparty's derivatives reaches a pre-determined threshold. Certain of these arrangements also include financial strength-contingent provisions that provide for a reduction of these thresholds (on a sliding scale that converges toward zero) in the event of downgrades in the financial strength ratings of the Company and/or the credit ratings of the counterparty. In addition, certain of the Company's netting agreements for derivatives contain provisions that require both the Company and the counterparty to maintain a specific investment grade financial strength or credit rating from each of Moody's and S&P. If a party's financial strength or credit ratings were to fall below that specific investment grade financial strength or credit rating, that party would be in violation of these provisions, and the other party to the derivatives could terminate the transactions and demand immediate settlement and payment based on such party's reasonable valuation of the derivatives. 86

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 8. Derivatives (continued) The following table presents changes in estimated fair value related to embedded derivatives: [Download Table] Years Ended December 31, ------------------------------------- 2013 2012 2011 ------------- ----------- ----------- (In millions) Net derivative gains (losses) (1) (2). $ (94) $ 1,292 $ 250 -------- (1)The valuation of direct and assumed guaranteed minimum benefits includes a nonperformance risk adjustment. The amounts included in net derivative gains (losses), in connection with this adjustment, were ($156) million, ($235) million and $354 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In addition, the valuation of ceded guaranteed minimum benefits includes a nonperformance risk adjustment. The amounts included in net derivative gains (losses) in connection with this adjustment, were $76 million, $124 million and ($476) million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. (2)See Note 6 for discussion of affiliated net derivative gains (losses) included in the table above. 9. Fair Value When developing estimated fair values, the Company considers three broad valuation techniques: (i) the market approach, (ii) the income approach, and (iii) the cost approach. The Company determines the most appropriate valuation technique to use, given what is being measured and the availability of sufficient inputs, giving priority to observable inputs. The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value into a three-level hierarchy, based on the significant input with the lowest level in its valuation. The input levels are as follows: Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company defines active markets based on average trading volume for equity securities. The size of the bid/ask spread is used as an indicator of market activity for fixed maturity securities. Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly. These inputs can include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities other than quoted prices in Level 1, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other significant inputs that are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the determination of estimated fair value of the assets or liabilities. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Financial markets are susceptible to severe events evidenced by rapid depreciation in asset values accompanied by a reduction in asset liquidity. The Company's ability to sell securities, or the price ultimately realized for these securities, depends upon the demand and liquidity in the market and increases the use of judgment in determining the estimated fair value of certain securities. Considerable judgment is often required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value, and the use of different assumptions or valuation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. 88

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 9. Fair Value (continued) (1)Short-term investments as presented in the tables above differ from the amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheets because certain short-term investments are not measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis. (2)Derivative assets are presented within other invested assets in the consolidated balance sheets and derivative liabilities are presented within other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The amounts are presented gross in the tables above to reflect the presentation in the consolidated balance sheets, but are presented net for purposes of the rollforward in the Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) tables. (3)Net embedded derivatives within asset host contracts are presented primarily within premiums, reinsurance and other receivables in the consolidated balance sheets. Net embedded derivatives within liability host contracts are presented primarily within PABs and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, equity securities also included embedded derivatives of ($30) million and ($14) million, respectively. (4)Investment performance related to separate account assets is fully offset by corresponding amounts credited to contractholders whose liability is reflected within separate account liabilities. Separate account liabilities are set equal to the estimated fair value of separate account assets. The following describes the valuation methodologies used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. The description includes the valuation techniques and key inputs for each category of assets or liabilities that are classified within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Investments Valuation Controls and Procedures On behalf of the Company and MetLife, Inc.'s Chief Investment Officer and Chief Financial Officer, a pricing and valuation committee that is independent of the trading and investing functions and comprised of senior management, provides oversight of control systems and valuation policies for securities, mortgage loans and derivatives. On a quarterly basis, this committee reviews and approves new transaction types and markets, ensures that observable market prices and market-based parameters are used for valuation, wherever possible, and determines that judgmental valuation adjustments, when applied, are based upon established policies and are applied consistently over time. This committee also provides oversight of the selection of independent third party pricing providers and the controls and procedures to evaluate third party pricing. Periodically, the Chief Accounting Officer reports to MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut's Audit Committee regarding compliance with fair value accounting standards. The Company reviews its valuation methodologies on an ongoing basis and revises those methodologies when necessary based on changing market conditions. Assurance is gained on the overall reasonableness and consistent application of input assumptions, valuation methodologies and compliance with fair value accounting standards through controls designed to ensure valuations represent an exit price. Several controls are utilized, including certain monthly controls, which include, but are not limited to, analysis of portfolio returns to corresponding benchmark returns, comparing a sample of executed prices of securities sold to the 91

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 9. Fair Value (continued) fair value estimates, comparing fair value estimates to management's knowledge of the current market, reviewing the bid/ask spreads to assess activity, comparing prices from multiple independent pricing services and ongoing due diligence to confirm that independent pricing services use market-based parameters. The process includes a determination of the observability of inputs used in estimated fair values received from independent pricing services or brokers by assessing whether these inputs can be corroborated by observable market data. The Company ensures that prices received from independent brokers, also referred to herein as "consensus pricing," represent a reasonable estimate of fair value by considering such pricing relative to the Company's knowledge of the current market dynamics and current pricing for similar financial instruments. While independent non-binding broker quotations are utilized, they are not used for a significant portion of the portfolio. For example, fixed maturity securities priced using independent non-binding broker quotations represent less than 1% of the total estimated fair value of fixed maturity securities and 11% of the total estimated fair value of Level 3 fixed maturity securities. The Company also applies a formal process to challenge any prices received from independent pricing services that are not considered representative of estimated fair value. If prices received from independent pricing services are not considered reflective of market activity or representative of estimated fair value, independent non-binding broker quotations are obtained, or an internally developed valuation is prepared. Internally developed valuations of current estimated fair value, which reflect internal estimates of liquidity and nonperformance risks, compared with pricing received from the independent pricing services, did not produce material differences in the estimated fair values for the majority of the portfolio; accordingly, overrides were not material. This is, in part, because internal estimates of liquidity and nonperformance risks are generally based on available market evidence and estimates used by other market participants. In the absence of such market-based evidence, management's best estimate is used. Securities, Short-term Investments and Long-term Debt of CSEs When available, the estimated fair value of these financial instruments is based on quoted prices in active markets that are readily and regularly obtainable. Generally, these are the most liquid of the Company's securities holdings and valuation of these securities does not involve management's judgment. When quoted prices in active markets are not available, the determination of estimated fair value is based on market standard valuation methodologies, giving priority to observable inputs. The significant inputs to the market standard valuation methodologies for certain types of securities with reasonable levels of price transparency are inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. When observable inputs are not available, the market standard valuation methodologies rely on inputs that are significant to the estimated fair value that are not observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. These unobservable inputs can be based in large part on management's judgment or estimation and cannot be supported by reference to market activity. Even though these inputs are unobservable, management believes they are consistent with what other market participants would use when pricing such securities and are considered appropriate given the circumstances. The estimated fair value of long-term debt of CSEs is determined on a basis consistent with the methodologies described herein for securities. 92

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 9. Fair Value (continued) Level 2 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs: This level includes securities priced principally by independent pricing services using observable inputs. Short-term investments within this level are of a similar nature and class to the Level 2 fixed maturity securities and equity securities. U.S. corporate and foreign corporate securities These securities are principally valued using the market and income approaches. Valuations are based primarily on quoted prices in markets that are not active, or using matrix pricing or other similar techniques that use standard market observable inputs such as benchmark yields, spreads off benchmark yields, new issuances, issuer rating, duration, and trades of identical or comparable securities. Privately-placed securities are valued using matrix pricing methodologies using standard market observable inputs, and inputs derived from, or corroborated by, market observable data including market yield curve, duration, call provisions, observable prices and spreads for similar publicly traded or privately traded issues that incorporate the credit quality and industry sector of the issuer, and in certain cases, delta spread adjustments to reflect specific credit-related issues. U.S. Treasury and agency securities These securities are principally valued using the market approach. Valuations are based primarily on quoted prices in markets that are not active, or using matrix pricing or other similar techniques using standard market observable inputs such as a benchmark U.S. Treasury yield curve, the spread off the U.S. Treasury yield curve for the identical security and comparable securities that are actively traded. Structured securities comprised of RMBS, ABS and CMBS These securities are principally valued using the market and income approaches. Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing, discounted cash flow methodologies or other similar techniques using standard market inputs, including spreads for actively traded securities, spreads off benchmark yields, expected prepayment speeds and volumes, current and forecasted loss severity, rating, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, average delinquency rates, geographic region, debt-service coverage ratios and issuance-specific information, including, but not limited to: collateral type, payment terms of the underlying assets, payment priority within the tranche, structure of the security, deal performance and vintage of loans. State and political subdivision and foreign government securities These securities are principally valued using the market approach. Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing or other similar techniques using standard market observable inputs including a benchmark U.S. Treasury yield or other yields, issuer ratings, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads and reported trades of similar securities, including those within the same sub-sector or with a similar maturity or credit rating. Common and non-redeemable preferred stock These securities are principally valued using the market approach. Valuations are based principally on observable inputs, including quoted prices in markets that are not considered active. 93

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 9. Fair Value (continued) Level 3 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs: In general, securities classified within Level 3 use many of the same valuation techniques and inputs as described previously for Level 2. However, if key inputs are unobservable, or if the investments are less liquid and there is very limited trading activity, the investments are generally classified as Level 3. The use of independent non-binding broker quotations to value investments generally indicates there is a lack of liquidity or a lack of transparency in the process to develop the valuation estimates, generally causing these investments to be classified in Level 3. Short-term investments within this level are of a similar nature and class to the Level 3 securities described below; accordingly, the valuation techniques and significant market standard observable inputs used in their valuation are also similar to those described below. U.S. corporate and foreign corporate securities These securities, including financial services industry hybrid securities classified within fixed maturity securities, are principally valued using the market approach. Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing or other similar techniques that utilize unobservable inputs or inputs that cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data, including illiquidity premium, delta spread adjustments to reflect specific credit-related issues, credit spreads; and inputs including quoted prices for identical or similar securities that are less liquid and based on lower levels of trading activity than securities classified in Level 2. Certain valuations are based on independent non-binding broker quotations. Structured securities comprised of RMBS, ABS and CMBS These securities are principally valued using the market and income approaches. Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing, discounted cash flow methodologies or other similar techniques that utilize inputs that are unobservable or cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data, including credit spreads. Below investment grade securities and sub-prime RMBS included in this level are valued based on inputs including quoted prices for identical or similar securities that are less liquid and based on lower levels of trading activity than securities classified in Level 2. Certain of these valuations are based on independent non-binding broker quotations. State and political subdivision and foreign government securities These securities are principally valued using the market approach. Valuations are based primarily on independent non-binding broker quotations and inputs, including quoted prices for identical or similar securities that are less liquid and based on lower levels of trading activity than securities classified in Level 2. Certain valuations are based on matrix pricing that utilize inputs that are unobservable or cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data, including credit spreads. Common and non-redeemable preferred stock These securities, including privately-held securities and financial services industry hybrid securities classified within equity securities, are principally valued using the market and income approaches. 94

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 9. Fair Value (continued) Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing, discounted cash flow methodologies or other similar techniques using inputs such as comparable credit rating and issuance structure. Certain of these securities are valued based on inputs including quoted prices for identical or similar securities that are less liquid and based on lower levels of trading activity than securities classified in Level 2 and independent non-binding broker quotations. Mortgage Loans Held by CSEs -- FVO The Company consolidates certain securitization entities that hold commercial mortgage loans. Level 2 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs: These investments are principally valued using the market approach. The principal market for these investments is the securitization market. The Company uses the quoted securitization market price of the obligations of the CSEs to determine the estimated fair value of these commercial loan portfolios. These market prices are determined principally by independent pricing services using observable inputs. Separate Account Assets Separate account assets are carried at estimated fair value and reported as a summarized total on the consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair value of separate account assets is based on the estimated fair value of the underlying assets. Separate account assets include: mutual funds, fixed maturity securities, equity securities, derivatives, other limited partnership interests, short-term investments and cash and cash equivalents. Level 2 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs: These assets are comprised of investments that are similar in nature to the instruments described under "-- Securities, Short-term Investments and Long-term Debt of CSEs." Also included are certain mutual funds without readily determinable fair values, as prices are not published publicly. Valuation of the mutual funds is based upon quoted prices or reported NAV provided by the fund managers. Level 3 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs: These assets are comprised of investments that are similar in nature to the instruments described under "-- Securities, Short-term Investments and Long-term Debt of CSEs." Also included are other limited partnership interests, which are valued giving consideration to the value of the underlying holdings of the partnerships and by applying a premium or discount, if appropriate, for factors such as liquidity, bid/ask spreads, the performance record of the fund manager or other relevant variables that may impact the exit value of the particular partnership interest. Derivatives The estimated fair value of derivatives is determined through the use of quoted market prices for exchange-traded derivatives, or through the use of pricing models for OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives. The determination of estimated fair value, when quoted market values are not available, is based on market standard 95

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 9. Fair Value (continued) valuation methodologies and inputs that management believes are consistent with what other market participants would use when pricing such instruments. Derivative valuations can be affected by changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, financial indices, credit spreads, default risk, nonperformance risk, volatility, liquidity and changes in estimates and assumptions used in the pricing models. The valuation controls and procedures for derivatives are described in "-- Investments." The significant inputs to the pricing models for most OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives are inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Significant inputs that are observable generally include: interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rate curves, credit curves and volatility. However, certain OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives may rely on inputs that are significant to the estimated fair value that are not observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Significant inputs that are unobservable generally include references to emerging market currencies and inputs that are outside the observable portion of the interest rate curve, credit curve, volatility or other relevant market measure. These unobservable inputs may involve significant management judgment or estimation. Even though unobservable, these inputs are based on assumptions deemed appropriate given the circumstances and management believes they are consistent with what other market participants would use when pricing such instruments. Most inputs for OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives are mid-market inputs but, in certain cases, liquidity adjustments are made when they are deemed more representative of exit value. Market liquidity, as well as the use of different methodologies, assumptions and inputs, may have a material effect on the estimated fair values of the Company's derivatives and could materially affect net income. The credit risk of both the counterparty and the Company are considered in determining the estimated fair value for all OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives, and any potential credit adjustment is based on the net exposure by counterparty after taking into account the effects of netting agreements and collateral arrangements. The Company values its OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives using standard swap curves which may include a spread to the risk free rate, depending upon specific collateral arrangements. This credit spread is appropriate for those parties that execute trades at pricing levels consistent with similar collateral arrangements. As the Company and its significant derivative counterparties generally execute trades at such pricing levels and hold sufficient collateral, additional credit risk adjustments are not currently required in the valuation process. The Company's ability to consistently execute at such pricing levels is in part due to the netting agreements and collateral arrangements that are in place with all of its significant derivative counterparties. An evaluation of the requirement to make additional credit risk adjustments is performed by the Company each reporting period. Freestanding Derivatives Level 2 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs: This level includes all types of derivatives utilized by the Company with the exception of exchange-traded derivatives included within Level 1 and those derivatives with unobservable inputs as described in Level 3. These derivatives are principally valued using the income approach. 96

Option-based. Valuations are based on option pricing models, which utilize significant inputs that may include the swap yield curve, basis curves and interest rate volatility. Foreign currency exchange rate Non-option-based. Valuations are based on present value techniques, which utilize significant inputs that may include the swap yield curve, basis curves, currency spot rates and cross currency basis curves. Credit Non-option-based. Valuations are based on present value techniques, which utilize significant inputs that may include the swap yield curve, credit curves and recovery rates. Equity market Non-option-based. Valuations are based on present value techniques, which utilize significant inputs that may include the swap yield curve, spot equity index levels and dividend yield curves. Option-based. Valuations are based on option pricing models, which utilize significant inputs that may include the swap yield curve, spot equity index levels, dividend yield curves and equity volatility. Level 3 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs: These derivatives are principally valued using the income approach. Valuations of non-option-based derivatives utilize present value techniques, whereas valuations of option-based derivatives utilize option pricing models. These valuation methodologies generally use the same inputs as described in the corresponding sections above for Level 2 measurements of derivatives. However, these derivatives result in Level 3 classification because one or more of the significant inputs are not observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Interest rate Non-option-based. Significant unobservable inputs may include the extrapolation beyond observable limits of the swap yield curve and basis curves. Credit Non-option-based. Significant unobservable inputs may include credit spreads, repurchase rates and the extrapolation beyond observable limits of the swap yield curve and credit curves. Certain of these derivatives are valued based on independent non-binding broker quotations. 97

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 9. Fair Value (continued) Equity market Non-option-based. Significant unobservable inputs may include the extrapolation beyond observable limits of dividend yield curves and equity volatility. Embedded Derivatives Embedded derivatives principally include certain direct, assumed and ceded variable annuity guarantees and embedded derivatives related to funds withheld on ceded reinsurance. Embedded derivatives are recorded at estimated fair value with changes in estimated fair value reported in net income. The Company issues certain variable annuity products with guaranteed minimum benefits. GMWBs, GMABs and GMIBs contain embedded derivatives, which are measured at estimated fair value separately from the host variable annuity contract, with changes in estimated fair value reported in net derivative gains (losses). These embedded derivatives are classified within PABs in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of these embedded derivatives, estimated as the present value of projected future benefits minus the present value of projected future fees using actuarial and capital market assumptions including expectations concerning policyholder behavior, is calculated by the Company's actuarial department. The calculation is based on in-force business, and is performed using standard actuarial valuation software which projects future cash flows from the embedded derivative over multiple risk neutral stochastic scenarios using observable risk free rates. Capital market assumptions, such as risk free rates and implied volatilities, are based on market prices for publicly traded instruments to the extent that prices for such instruments are observable. Implied volatilities beyond the observable period are extrapolated based on observable implied volatilities and historical volatilities. Actuarial assumptions, including mortality, lapse, withdrawal and utilization, are unobservable and are reviewed at least annually based on actuarial studies of historical experience. The valuation of these guarantee liabilities includes nonperformance risk adjustments and adjustments for a risk margin related to non-capital market inputs. The nonperformance adjustment is determined by taking into consideration publicly available information relating to spreads in the secondary market for MetLife's debt, including related credit default swaps. These observable spreads are then adjusted, as necessary, to reflect the priority of these liabilities and the claims paying ability of the issuing insurance subsidiaries compared to MetLife. Risk margins are established to capture the non-capital market risks of the instrument which represent the additional compensation a market participant would require to assume the risks related to the uncertainties of such actuarial assumptions as annuitization, premium persistency, partial withdrawal and surrenders. The establishment of risk margins requires the use of significant management judgment, including assumptions of the amount and cost of capital needed to cover the guarantees. These guarantees may be more costly than expected in volatile or declining equity markets. Market conditions including, but not limited to, changes in interest rates, equity indices, market volatility and foreign currency exchange rates; changes in nonperformance risk; and variations in actuarial assumptions regarding policyholder behavior, mortality and risk margins related to non-capital market inputs, may result in significant fluctuations in the estimated fair value of the guarantees that could materially affect net income. 98

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 9. Fair Value (continued) The Company assumed, from an affiliated insurance company, the risk associated with certain GMIBs. These embedded derivatives are included in other policy-related balances in the consolidated balance sheets with changes in estimated fair value reported in net derivative gains (losses). The value of the embedded derivatives on these assumed risks is determined using a methodology consistent with that described previously for the guarantees directly written by the Company. The Company ceded, to an affiliated reinsurance company, the risk associated with certain of the GMIBs, GMABs and GMWBs described above that are also accounted for as embedded derivatives. In addition to ceding risks associated with guarantees that are accounted for as embedded derivatives, the Company also cedes, to the same affiliated reinsurance company, certain directly written GMIBs that are accounted for as insurance (i.e., not as embedded derivatives), but where the reinsurance agreement contains an embedded derivative. These embedded derivatives are included within premiums, reinsurance and other receivables in the consolidated balance sheets with changes in estimated fair value reported in net derivative gains (losses). The value of the embedded derivatives on the ceded risk is determined using a methodology consistent with that described previously for the guarantees directly written by the Company with the exception of the input for nonperformance risk that reflects the credit of the reinsurer. The estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives within funds withheld related to certain ceded reinsurance is determined based on the change in estimated fair value of the underlying assets held by the Company in a reference portfolio backing the funds withheld liability. The estimated fair value of the underlying assets is determined as previously described in "-- Investments -- Securities, Short-term Investments and Long-term Debt of CSEs." The estimated fair value of these embedded derivatives is included, along with their funds withheld hosts, in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets with changes in estimated fair value recorded in net derivative gains (losses). Changes in the credit spreads on the underlying assets, interest rates and market volatility may result in significant fluctuations in the estimated fair value of these embedded derivatives that could materially affect net income. Embedded Derivatives Within Asset and Liability Host Contracts Level 3 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs: Direct and assumed guaranteed minimum benefits These embedded derivatives are principally valued using the income approach. Valuations are based on option pricing techniques, which utilize significant inputs that may include swap yield curve, currency exchange rates and implied volatilities. These embedded derivatives result in Level 3 classification because one or more of the significant inputs are not observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Significant unobservable inputs generally include: the extrapolation beyond observable limits of the swap yield curve and implied volatilities, actuarial assumptions for policyholder behavior and mortality and the potential variability in policyholder behavior and mortality, nonperformance risk and cost of capital for purposes of calculating the risk margin. Reinsurance ceded on certain guaranteed minimum benefits These embedded derivatives are principally valued using the income approach. The valuation techniques and significant market standard unobservable inputs used in their valuation are similar to those described above in "-- Direct and Assumed Guaranteed Minimum Benefits" and also include counterparty credit spreads. 99

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 9. Fair Value (continued) Transfers between Levels Overall, transfers between levels occur when there are changes in the observability of inputs and market activity. Transfers into or out of any level are assumed to occur at the beginning of the period. Transfers between Levels 1 and 2: For assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value and still held at December 31, 2013 and 2012, transfers between Levels 1 and 2 were not significant. Transfers into or out of Level 3: Assets and liabilities are transferred into Level 3 when a significant input cannot be corroborated with market observable data. This occurs when market activity decreases significantly and underlying inputs cannot be observed, current prices are not available, and/or when there are significant variances in quoted prices, thereby affecting transparency. Assets and liabilities are transferred out of Level 3 when circumstances change such that a significant input can be corroborated with market observable data. This may be due to a significant increase in market activity, a specific event, or one or more significant input(s) becoming observable. Transfers into Level 3 for fixed maturity securities were due primarily to a lack of trading activity, decreased liquidity and credit ratings downgrades (e.g., from investment grade to below investment grade) which have resulted in decreased transparency of valuations and an increased use of independent non-binding broker quotations and unobservable inputs, such as illiquidity premiums, delta spread adjustments or credit spreads. Transfers out of Level 3 for fixed maturity securities resulted primarily from increased transparency of both new issuances that, subsequent to issuance and establishment of trading activity, became priced by independent pricing services and existing issuances that, over time, the Company was able to obtain pricing from, or corroborate pricing received from, independent pricing services with observable inputs (such as observable spreads used in pricing securities) or increases in market activity and upgraded credit ratings. 100

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 9. Fair Value (continued) (2)The impact of a decrease in input would have the opposite impact on the estimated fair value. For embedded derivatives, changes to direct guaranteed minimum benefits are based on liability positions and changes to ceded guaranteed minimum benefits are based on asset positions. (3)Significant increases (decreases) in expected default rates in isolation would result in substantially lower (higher) valuations. (4)Range and weighted average are presented in basis points. (5)Range and weighted average are presented in accordance with the market convention for fixed maturity securities of dollars per hundred dollars of par. (6)Changes in the assumptions used for the probability of default is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumptions used for prepayment rates. (7)Ranges represent the rates across different yield curves and are presented in basis points. The swap yield curve is utilized among different types of derivatives to project cash flows, as well as to discount future cash flows to present value. Since this valuation methodology uses a range of inputs across a yield curve to value the derivative, presenting a range is more representative of the unobservable input used in the valuation. (8)Represents the risk quoted in basis points of a credit default event on the underlying instrument. The range being provided is a single quoted spread in the valuation model. Credit derivatives with significant unobservable inputs are primarily comprised of written credit default swaps. (9)At both December 31, 2013 and 2012, independent non-binding broker quotations were used in the determination of less than 1% of the total net derivative estimated fair value. (10)Ranges represent the underlying equity volatility quoted in percentage points. Since this valuation methodology uses a range of inputs across multiple volatility surfaces to value the derivative, presenting a range is more representative of the unobservable input used in the valuation. (11)Changes are based on long U.S. dollar net asset positions and will be inversely impacted for short U.S. dollar net asset positions. (12)Mortality rates vary by age and by demographic characteristics such as gender. Mortality rate assumptions are based on company experience. A mortality improvement assumption is also applied. For any given contract, mortality rates vary throughout the period over which cash flows are projected for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative. (13)Base lapse rates are adjusted at the contract level based on a comparison of the actuarially calculated guaranteed values and the current policyholder account value, as well as other factors, such as the applicability of any surrender charges. A dynamic lapse function reduces the base lapse rate when the guaranteed amount is greater than the account value as in the money contracts are less likely to lapse. Lapse rates are also generally assumed to be lower in periods when a surrender charge applies. For any given contract, lapse rates vary throughout the period over which cash flows are projected for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative. (14)The utilization rate assumption estimates the percentage of contract holders with a GMIB or lifetime withdrawal benefit who will elect to utilize the benefit upon becoming eligible. The rates may vary by the type of guarantee, the amount by which the guaranteed amount is greater than the account value, the 102

Fair Value (continued) contract's withdrawal history and by the age of the policyholder. For any given contract, utilization rates vary throughout the period over which cash flows are projected for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative. (15)The withdrawal rate represents the percentage of account balance that any given policyholder will elect to withdraw from the contract each year. The withdrawal rate assumption varies by age and duration of the contract, and also by other factors such as benefit type. For any given contract, withdrawal rates vary throughout the period over which cash flows are projected for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative. For GMWBs, any increase (decrease) in withdrawal rates results in an increase (decrease) in the estimated fair value of the guarantees. For GMABs and GMIBs, any increase (decrease) in withdrawal rates results in a decrease (increase) in the estimated fair value. (16)Long-term equity volatilities represent equity volatility beyond the period for which observable equity volatilities are available. For any given contract, long-term equity volatility rates vary throughout the period over which cash flows are projected for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative. (17)Nonperformance risk spread varies by duration and by currency. For any given contract, multiple nonperformance risk spreads will apply, depending on the duration of the cash flow being discounted for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative. The following is a summary of the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities classified within Level 3 that are not included in the preceding table. Generally, all other classes of securities classified within Level 3, including those within separate account assets and embedded derivatives within funds withheld related to certain ceded reinsurance, use the same valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs as previously described for Level 3 securities. This includes matrix pricing and discounted cash flow methodologies, inputs such as quoted prices for identical or similar securities that are less liquid and based on lower levels of trading activity than securities classified in Level 2, as well as independent non-binding broker quotations. The sensitivity of the estimated fair value to changes in the significant unobservable inputs for these other assets and liabilities is similar in nature to that described in the preceding table. The valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement for the more significant assets measured at estimated fair value on a nonrecurring basis and determined using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) are summarized in "-- Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements." 103

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 9. Fair Value (continued) (2)For these cost method investments, estimated fair value is determined from information provided in the financial statements of the underlying entities including NAV data. These investments include private equity and debt funds that typically invest primarily in various strategies including domestic and international leveraged buyout funds; power, energy, timber and infrastructure development funds; venture capital funds; and below investment grade debt and mezzanine debt funds. Distributions will be generated from investment gains, from operating income from the underlying investments of the funds and from liquidation of the underlying assets of the funds. It is estimated that the underlying assets of the funds will be liquidated over the next two to 10 years. Unfunded commitments for these investments at both December 31, 2013 and 2012 were not significant. (3)For these cost method investments, estimated fair value is determined from information provided in the financial statements of the underlying entities including NAV data. These investments include several real estate funds that typically invest primarily in commercial real estate. Distributions will be generated from investment gains, from operating income from the underlying investments of the funds and from liquidation of the underlying assets of the funds. It is estimated that the underlying assets of the funds will be liquidated over the next one to 10 years. Unfunded commitments for these investments at both December 31, 2013 and 2012 were not significant. (4)As discussed in Note 10, in 2013, the Company recorded an impairment of goodwill associated with the Retail Life & Other reporting unit. In addition, in 2012, the Company recorded an impairment of goodwill associated with the Retail Annuities reporting unit. These impairments have been categorized as Level 3 due to the significant unobservable inputs used in the determination of the estimated fair value. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carried at Other Than Fair Value The following tables provide fair value information for financial instruments that are carried on the balance sheet at amounts other than fair value. These tables exclude the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, accrued investment income, payables for collateral under securities loaned and other transactions and those short-term investments that are not securities, such as time deposits, and therefore are not included in the three level hierarchy table disclosed in the "-- Recurring Fair Value Measurements" section. The estimated fair value of the excluded financial instruments, which are primarily classified in Level 2 and, to a lesser extent, in Level 1, approximates carrying value as they are short-term in nature such that the Company believes there is minimal risk of material changes in interest rates or credit quality. All remaining balance sheet amounts excluded from the table below are not considered financial instruments subject to this disclosure. 111

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 9. Fair Value (continued) Policy Loans Policy loans with fixed interest rates are classified within Level 3. The estimated fair values for these loans are determined using a discounted cash flow model applied to groups of similar policy loans determined by the nature of the underlying insurance liabilities. Cash flow estimates are developed by applying a weighted-average interest rate to the outstanding principal balance of the respective group of policy loans and an estimated average maturity determined through experience studies of the past performance of policyholder repayment behavior for similar loans. These cash flows are discounted using current risk-free interest rates with no adjustment for borrower credit risk as these loans are fully collateralized by the cash surrender value of the underlying insurance policy. Policy loans with variable interest rates are classified within Level 2 and the estimated fair value approximates carrying value due to the absence of borrower credit risk and the short time period between interest rate resets, which presents minimal risk of a material change in estimated fair value due to changes in market interest rates. Real Estate Joint Ventures and Other Limited Partnership Interests The estimated fair values of these cost method investments are generally based on the Company's share of the NAV as provided in the financial statements of the investees. In certain circumstances, management may adjust the NAV by a premium or discount when it has sufficient evidence to support applying such adjustments. Other Invested Assets These other invested assets are principally comprised of loans to affiliates. The estimated fair value of loans to affiliates is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using market interest rates currently available for instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities. Premiums, Reinsurance and Other Receivables Premiums, reinsurance and other receivables are principally comprised of certain amounts recoverable under reinsurance agreements, amounts on deposit with financial institutions to facilitate daily settlements related to certain derivatives and amounts receivable for securities sold but not yet settled. Amounts recoverable under ceded reinsurance agreements, which the Company has determined do not transfer significant risk such that they are accounted for using the deposit method of accounting, have been classified as Level 3. The valuation is based on discounted cash flow methodologies using significant unobservable inputs. The estimated fair value is determined using interest rates determined to reflect the appropriate credit standing of the assuming counterparty. The amounts on deposit for derivative settlements, classified within Level 2, essentially represent the equivalent of demand deposit balances and amounts due for securities sold are generally received over short periods such that the estimated fair value approximates carrying value. PABs These PABs include investment contracts. Embedded derivatives on investment contracts and certain variable annuity guarantees accounted for as embedded derivatives are excluded from this caption in the preceding tables as they are separately presented in "-- Recurring Fair Value Measurements." 113

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 9. Fair Value (continued) The investment contracts primarily include certain funding agreements, fixed deferred annuities, modified guaranteed annuities, fixed term payout annuities and total control accounts. The valuation of these investment contracts is based on discounted cash flow methodologies using significant unobservable inputs. The estimated fair value is determined using current market risk-free interest rates adding a spread to reflect the nonperformance risk in the liability. Long-term Debt The estimated fair value of long-term debt is principally determined using market standard valuation methodologies. Valuations are based primarily on quoted prices in markets that are not active or using matrix pricing that use standard market observable inputs such as quoted prices in markets that are not active and observable yields and spreads in the market. Instruments valued using discounted cash flow methodologies use standard market observable inputs including market yield curve, duration, observable prices and spreads for similar publicly traded or privately traded issues. Other Liabilities Other liabilities consist primarily of interest payable, amounts due for securities purchased but not yet settled and funds withheld amounts payable, which are contractually withheld by the Company in accordance with the terms of the reinsurance agreements. The Company evaluates the specific terms, facts and circumstances of each instrument to determine the appropriate estimated fair values, which are not materially different from the carrying values. Separate Account Liabilities Separate account liabilities represent those balances due to policyholders under contracts that are classified as investment contracts. Separate account liabilities classified as investment contracts primarily represent variable annuities with no significant mortality risk to the Company such that the death benefit is equal to the account balance and certain contracts that provide for benefit funding. Since separate account liabilities are fully funded by cash flows from the separate account assets which are recognized at estimated fair value as described in the section "-- Recurring Fair Value Measurements," the value of those assets approximates the estimated fair value of the related separate account liabilities. The valuation techniques and inputs for separate account liabilities are similar to those described for separate account assets. 10. Goodwill Goodwill is the excess of cost over the estimated 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. Step 1 of the goodwill impairment process requires a comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value. 114

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 10. Goodwill (continued) In performing the Company's goodwill impairment tests, the estimated fair values of the reporting units are first determined using a market multiple valuation approach. When further corroboration is required, the Company uses a discounted cash flow valuation approach. For reporting units which are particularly sensitive to market assumptions, the Company may use additional valuation methodologies to estimate the reporting units' fair values. The market multiple valuation approach utilizes market multiples of companies with similar businesses and the projected operating earnings of the reporting unit. The discounted cash flow valuation approach requires judgments about revenues, operating earnings projections, capital market assumptions and discount rates. The key inputs, judgments and assumptions necessary in determining estimated fair value of the reporting units include projected operating earnings, current book value, the level of economic capital required to support the mix of business, long-term growth rates, comparative market multiples, the account value of in-force business, projections of new and renewal business, as well as margins on such business, the level of interest rates, credit spreads, equity market levels, and the discount rate that the Company believes is appropriate for the respective reporting unit. The valuation methodologies utilized are subject to key judgments and assumptions that are sensitive to change. Estimates of fair value are inherently uncertain and represent only management's reasonable expectation regarding future developments. These estimates and the judgments and assumptions upon which the estimates are based will, in all likelihood, differ in some respects from actual future results. Declines in the estimated fair value of the Company's reporting units could result in goodwill impairments in future periods which could materially adversely affect the Company's results of operations or financial position. During the 2013 annual goodwill impairment tests, the market multiple and discounted cash flow valuation techniques indicated that the fair value of the Retail Life & Other reporting unit was below its carrying value. Due to these results, an actuarial appraisal, which estimates the net worth of the reporting unit, the value of existing business and the value of new business, was also performed. This appraisal also resulted in a fair value of the Retail Life & Other reporting unit that was less than the carrying value, indicating a potential for goodwill impairment. An increase in required reserves on universal life products with secondary guarantees, together with modifications to financial reinsurance treaty terms, was reflected in the fair value estimate. In addition, decreased future sales assumptions reflected in the valuation were driven by the discontinuance of certain sales of universal life products with secondary guarantees by the Company. Accordingly, the Company performed Step 2 of the goodwill impairment process, which compares the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill in the reporting unit to calculate the amount of goodwill impairment. The Company determined that all of the recorded goodwill associated with the Retail Life & Other reporting unit was not recoverable and recorded a non-cash charge of $66 million ($57 million, net of income tax) for the impairment of the entire goodwill balance in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013. The full amount was impaired at MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut. In addition, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test of its Corporate Benefit Funding reporting unit using a market multiple valuation approach and concluded that the fair value of such reporting unit was in excess of its carrying value and, therefore, goodwill was not impaired. 115

As reflected in the table, the $43 million related to the Retail segment was impaired for the year ended December 31, 2013. (2)In connection with its annual goodwill impairment testing, the Company determined that all of the recorded goodwill associated with the Retail Annuities reporting unit was not recoverable and recorded a non-cash charge of $394 million ($147 million, net of income tax) for the impairment of the entire goodwill balance in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012.

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 11. Debt (continued) (2)Excludes $1.5 billion and $2.6 billion of long-term debt relating to CSEs at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. See Note 7. The aggregate maturities of long-term debt at December 31, 2013 are $1 million in each of 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017, $2 million in 2018 and $784 million thereafter. Interest expense related to the Company's indebtedness included in other expenses was $68 million, $68 million and $67 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Payments of interest and principal on the surplus notes, which are subordinate to all other obligations at the operating company level, may be made only with the prior approval of the insurance department of the state of domicile. 12. Equity Return of Capital During the year ended December 31, 2011, Sino-US MetLife Insurance Company Limited ("Sino"), an insurance underwriting joint venture of the Company accounted for under the equity method, merged with United MetLife Insurance Company Limited ("United"), another insurance underwriting joint venture of an affiliate of the Company. MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut's ownership interest in the merged entity, Sino-US United MetLife Insurance Company Limited ("Sino-United") was determined based on its contributed capital and share of undistributed earnings of Sino compared to the contributed capital and undistributed earnings of all other investees of Sino and United. Since both of the joint ventures were under common ownership both prior to and subsequent to the merger, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut's investment in Sino-United is based on the carrying value of its investment in Sino. Pursuant to the merger, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut entered into an agreement to pay the affiliate an amount based on the relative fair values of their respective investments in Sino-United. Accordingly, upon completion of the estimation of fair value, $47 million, representing a return of capital, was paid during the year ended December 31, 2011. MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut's investment in Sino-United is accounted for under the equity method and is included in other invested assets. Common Stock The Company has 40,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, 34,595,317 shares of which were outstanding at both December 31, 2013 and 2012. Of such outstanding shares, 30,000,000 shares are owned directly by MetLife and the remaining shares are owned by MetLife Investors Group, Inc. Statutory Equity and Income Each U.S. insurance company's state of domicile imposes risk-based capital ("RBC") requirements that were developed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC"). Regulatory compliance is determined by a ratio of a company's total adjusted capital, calculated in the manner prescribed by the NAIC ("TAC") to its authorized control level RBC, calculated in the manner prescribed by the NAIC ("ACL RBC"). Companies below specific trigger points or ratios are classified within certain levels, each of which requires 117

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 12. Equity (continued) specified corrective action. The minimum level of TAC before corrective action commences is twice ACL RBC. The RBC ratio for MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and its U.S. insurance subsidiary, MLI-USA, were in excess of 400% for all periods presented. MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and its insurance subsidiaries prepare statutory-basis financial statements in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the insurance department of the state of domicile or applicable foreign jurisdiction. The NAIC has adopted the Codification of Statutory Accounting Principles ("Statutory Codification"). Statutory Codification is 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 Statutory Codification on the statutory capital and surplus of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and MLI-USA. 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, reporting of reinsurance agreements and valuing securities on a different basis. In addition, certain assets are not admitted under statutory accounting principles and are charged directly to surplus. The most significant assets not admitted by the Company are net deferred income tax assets resulting from temporary differences between statutory accounting principles basis and tax basis not expected to reverse and become recoverable within three years. Statutory net income (loss) of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut, a Connecticut domiciled insurer, was $790 million, $848 million and $46 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Statutory capital and surplus was $4.8 billion and $5.3 billion at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. All such amounts are derived from the statutory-basis financial statements as filed with the Connecticut Insurance Department. Statutory net income (loss) of MLI-USA, a Delaware domiciled insurer, was $209 million, $84 million and $178 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Statutory capital and surplus was $1.9 billion and $1.7 billion at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. All such amounts are derived from the statutory-basis financial statements as filed with the Delaware Department of Insurance. As of December 31, 2013, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut's sole foreign insurance subsidiary, MetLife Assurance Limited ("MAL") was regulated by authorities in the United Kingdom and was subject to minimum capital and solvency requirements before corrective action commences. The required capital and surplus was $165 million and the actual regulatory capital and surplus was $573 million as of the date of the most recent capital adequacy calculation for the jurisdiction. MAL exceeded these minimum capital and solvency requirements for all other periods presented. See Note 17 for additional information on MAL. Dividend Restrictions Under Connecticut State Insurance Law, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut is permitted, without prior insurance regulatory clearance, to pay stockholder dividends to its stockholders as long as the amount of such dividends, when aggregated with all other dividends in the preceding 12 months, does not exceed the greater 118

Equity (continued) 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. MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut will be permitted to pay a dividend in excess of the greater of such two amounts only if it files notice of its declaration of such a dividend and the amount thereof with the Connecticut Commissioner of Insurance (the "Connecticut Commissioner") and the Connecticut Commissioner either approves the distribution of the dividend or does not disapprove the payment within 30 days after notice. In addition, any dividend that exceeds earned surplus (defined as "unassigned funds (surplus)" reduced by 25% of unrealized appreciation in value or revaluation of assets or unrealized profits on investments) as of the last filed annual statutory statement requires insurance regulatory approval. Under Connecticut State Insurance Law, the Connecticut Commissioner has broad discretion in determining whether the financial condition of a stock life insurance company would support the payment of such dividends to its stockholders. During the year ended December 31, 2013, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut paid a dividend to its stockholders in the amount of $1.0 billion. During the year ended December 31, 2012, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut paid total dividends of $706 million. During June 2012, the Company distributed all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of MetLife Europe to its stockholders as an in-kind extraordinary dividend of $202 million, as calculated on a statutory basis. Regulatory approval for this extraordinary dividend was obtained due to the timing of payment. During December 2012, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut paid a dividend to its stockholders in the amount of $504 million, which represented its ordinary dividend capacity at year-end 2012. Due to the June 2012 in -kind dividend, a portion of this was extraordinary and regulatory approval was obtained. During the years ended December 31, 2011, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut paid a dividend of $517 million. Based on amounts at December 31, 2013, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut could pay a stockholder dividend in 2014 of $1.0 billion without prior approval of the Connecticut Commissioner. Under Delaware State Insurance Law, MLI-USA is permitted, without prior insurance regulatory clearance, to pay a stockholder dividend to MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut as long as the amount of the dividend when aggregated with all other dividends in the preceding 12 months does not exceed the greater of: (i) 10% of its surplus to policyholders as of the end of the immediately preceding calendar year; or (ii) its net statutory gain from operations for the immediately preceding calendar year (excluding realized capital gains). MLI-USA will be permitted to pay a dividend to MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut in excess of the greater of such two amounts only if it files notice of the declaration of such a dividend and the amount thereof with the Delaware Commissioner of Insurance (the "Delaware Commissioner") and the Delaware Commissioner either approves the distribution of the dividend or does not disapprove the distribution within 30 days of its filing. In addition, any dividend that exceeds earned surplus (defined as "unassigned funds (surplus)") as of the immediately preceding calendar year requires insurance regulatory approval. Under Delaware State Insurance Law, the Delaware Commissioner has broad discretion in determining whether the financial condition of a stock life insurance company would support the payment of such dividends to its stockholders. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, MLI-USA did not pay dividends to MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut. Because MLI-USA's statutory unassigned funds were negative at December 31, 2013, MLI-USA cannot pay any dividends in 2014 without prior regulatory approval. 119

Pursuant to Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") rules, the Company was excluded from MetLife's life/non-life consolidated federal tax return for the five years subsequent to MetLife's July 2005 acquisition of the Company. In 2011, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and its subsidiaries joined the consolidated return and became a party to the MetLife tax sharing agreement. Prior to 2011, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut filed a consolidated tax return with its includable subsidiaries. Non-includable subsidiaries filed either separate individual corporate tax returns or separate consolidated tax returns. The Company participates in a tax sharing agreement with MetLife, as described in Note 1. Pursuant to this tax sharing agreement, the amounts due from affiliates included $194 million, $135 million, and $151 million at December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. 124

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 14. Income Tax (continued) The Company files income tax returns with the U.S. federal government and various state and local jurisdictions, as well as foreign jurisdictions. The Company is under continuous examination by the IRS and other tax authorities in jurisdictions in which the Company has significant business operations. The income tax years under examination vary by jurisdiction. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations in major taxing jurisdictions for years prior to 2005. In 2012, the Company and the IRS completed and settled substantially all the issues identified in the audit years of 2005 and 2006. The issues not settled are under review at the IRS Appeals Division. The Company's liability for unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease in the next 12 months. A reasonable estimate of the increase or decrease cannot be made at this time. However, the Company continues to believe that the ultimate resolution of the pending issues will not result in a material change to its consolidated financial statements, although the resolution of income tax matters could impact the Company's effective tax rate for a particular future period. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits was as follows: [Enlarge/Download Table] Years Ended December 31, --------------------------- 2013 2012 2011 ------- --------- --------- (In millions) Balance at January 1,.................................................... $ (1) $ 29 $ 38 Additions for tax positions of prior years............................... 25 46 -- Reductions for tax positions of prior years..............................

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 14. Income Tax (continued) The U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS have indicated that they intend to address through regulations the methodology to be followed in determining the dividends received deduction ("DRD"), related to variable life insurance and annuity contracts. The DRD reduces the amount of dividend income subject to tax and is a significant component of the difference between the actual tax expense and expected amount determined using the federal statutory tax rate of 35%. Any regulations that the IRS ultimately proposes for issuance in this area will be subject to public notice and comment, at which time insurance companies and other interested parties will have the opportunity to raise legal and practical questions about the content, scope and application of such regulations. As a result, the ultimate timing and substance of any such regulations are unknown at this time. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $92 million and $70 million, respectively, related to the separate account DRD. The 2013 benefit included a benefit of $11 million related to a true-up of the 2012 tax return. The 2012 benefit included an expense of less than $1 million related to a true-up of the 2011 tax return. 15. Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees Contingencies Litigation The Company is a defendant in a number of litigation matters. In some of the matters, large and/or indeterminate amounts, including punitive and treble damages, are sought. Modern pleading practice in the U.S. permits considerable variation in the assertion of monetary damages or other relief. 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, demonstrates to management that the monetary relief which may be specified in a lawsuit or claim bears little relevance to its merits or disposition value. 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 difficult to ascertain. Uncertainties can include how fact finders will evaluate documentary evidence and the credibility and effectiveness of witness 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. The Company establishes liabilities for litigation and regulatory loss contingencies 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 some of the matters 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 at December 31, 2013. 126

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 15. Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees (continued) Matters as to Which an Estimate Can Be Made For some of the matters discussed below, the Company is able to estimate a reasonably possible range of loss. For such matters where a loss is believed to be reasonably possible, but not probable, no accrual has been made. As of December 31, 2013, the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses in excess of amounts accrued for these matters was not material for the Company. Matters as to Which an Estimate Cannot Be Made For other matters disclosed below, the Company is not currently able to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss. The Company is often unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss until developments in such matters have provided sufficient information to support an assessment of the range of possible loss, such as quantification of a damage demand from plaintiffs, discovery from other parties and investigation of factual allegations, rulings by the court on motions or appeals, analysis by experts, and the progress of settlement negotiations. On a quarterly and annual basis, the Company reviews relevant information with respect to litigation contingencies and updates its accruals, disclosures and estimates of reasonably possible losses or ranges of loss based on such reviews. Unclaimed Property Inquiries In April 2012, MetLife, for itself and on behalf of entities including MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut, reached agreements with representatives of the U.S. jurisdictions that were conducting audits of MetLife and certain of its affiliates for compliance with unclaimed property laws, and with state insurance regulators directly involved in a multistate targeted market conduct examination relating to claim-payment practices and compliance with unclaimed property laws. On December 28, 2012, the West Virginia Treasurer filed an action (West Virginia ex rel. John D. Perdue v. MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut, Circuit Court of Putnam County) alleging that the Company violated the West Virginia Uniform Unclaimed Property Act, seeking to compel compliance with the Act, and seeking payment of unclaimed property, interest, and penalties. On November 14, 2012, the Treasurer filed a substantially identical suit against MLI-USA. On December 30, 2013, the court granted defendants' motions to dismiss all of the West Virginia Treasurer's actions. The Treasurer has filed a notice to appeal the dismissal order. At least one other jurisdiction is pursuing a similar market conduct examination. It is possible that other jurisdictions may pursue similar examinations, audits, or lawsuits and that such actions may result in additional payments to beneficiaries, additional escheatment of funds deemed abandoned under state laws, administrative penalties, interest, and/or further changes to the Company's procedures. The Company is not currently able to estimate these additional possible costs. Sales Practices Claims Over the past several years, the Company has faced claims and regulatory inquires and investigations, alleging improper marketing or sales of individual life insurance policies, annuities, mutual funds or other products. The Company continues to vigorously defend against the claims in these matters. The Company believes adequate provision has been made in its consolidated financial statements for all probable and reasonably estimable losses for sales practices matters. 127

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 15. Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees (continued) Summary Various litigation, claims and assessments against the Company, in addition to those discussed previously 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. In some of the matters referred to previously, 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 effect upon the Company's financial position, based on information currently known by the Company's management, in its opinion, the outcomes of such pending 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 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 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 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 were as follows: [Download Table] December 31, --------------- 2013 2012 ------- ------- (In millions) Other Assets: Premium tax offset for future undiscounted assessments....... $ 10 $ 19 Premium tax offsets currently available for paid assessments. 10 2 ------- ------- $ 20 $ 21 ======= ======= Other Liabilities: Insolvency assessments....................................... $ 14 $ 37 ======= ======= On September 1, 2011, the Department of Financial Services filed a liquidation plan for Executive Life Insurance Company of New York ("ELNY"), which had been under rehabilitation by the Liquidation Bureau since 1991. The plan involves the satisfaction of insurers' financial obligations under a number of state life and health insurance guaranty associations and also provides additional industry support for certain ELNY policyholders. 128

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 15. Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees (continued) Commitments 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 $956 million and $1.0 billion at December 31, 2013 and 2012, 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 $147 million and $181 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Commitments to Fund Bank Credit Facilities and Private Corporate Bond Investments The Company commits to lend funds under bank credit facilities and private corporate bond investments. The amounts of these unfunded commitments were $57 million and $144 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Other Commitments The Company has entered into collateral arrangements with affiliates, which require the transfer of collateral in connection with secured demand notes. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had agreed to fund up to $61 million and $86 million, respectively, of cash upon the request by these affiliates and had transferred collateral consisting of various securities with a fair market value of $74 million and $106 million, respectively, to custody accounts to secure the demand notes. Each of these affiliates is permitted by contract to sell or repledge this collateral. See Note 7 "-- Related Party Investment Transactions" for additional other commitments. Guarantees In the normal course of its business, the Company has provided certain indemnities, guarantees and commitments to third parties such that 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. The maximum potential obligation under the indemnities and guarantees is subject to a contractual limitation, ranging from $36 million to $233 million, with a cumulative maximum of $269 million, in the case of MetLife International Insurance Company, Ltd. ("MLII"), a former affiliate, discussed below. In other cases such limitations are not specified or applicable. Since certain of these obligations are not subject to limitations, the 129
N-4554th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 554th
15. Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees (continued) Company does not believe that it is possible to determine the maximum potential amount that could become due under these guarantees in the future. Management believes that it is unlikely the Company will have to make any material payments under these indemnities, guarantees, or commitments. The Company has provided a guarantee on behalf of MLII that is triggered if MLII cannot pay claims because of insolvency, liquidation or rehabilitation. Life insurance coverage in-force, representing the maximum potential obligation under this guarantee, was $233 million and $235 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company does not hold any collateral related to this guarantee, but has a recorded liability of $1 million that was based on the total account value of the guaranteed policies plus the amounts retained per policy at both December 31, 2013 and 2012. The remainder of the risk was ceded to external reinsurers. 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. 16. Related Party Transactions Service Agreements The Company has entered into various agreements with affiliates for services necessary to conduct its activities. Typical services provided under these agreements include management, policy administrative functions, personnel, investment advice and distribution services. For certain agreements, charges are based on various performance measures or activity-based costing. The bases for such charges are modified and adjusted by management when necessary or appropriate to reflect fairly and equitably the actual incidence of cost incurred by the Company and/or affiliate. Expenses incurred with affiliates related to these agreements, recorded in other expenses, were $1.6 billion, $1.7 billion and $1.9 billion for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Revenues received from affiliates related to these agreements, recorded in universal life and investment-type product policy fees, were $209 million, $179 million and $145 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Revenues received from affiliates related to these agreements, recorded in other revenues, were $186 million, $166 million and $136 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company had net payables to affiliates, related to the items discussed above, of $210 million and $109 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. See Notes 6, 7 and 11 for additional information on related party transactions. 17. Subsequent Events Equity In August 2014, in anticipation of the Mergers, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut redeemed and retired the 4,595,317 shares of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut's common stock owned by MetLife Investors Group, LLC for $1.4 billion; all of the outstanding shares of common stock of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut are now directly held by MetLife, Inc. MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut does not expect to pay a dividend in 2014. 130

17. Subsequent Events (continued) In August 2014, following the common stock redemption, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut received a capital contribution from MetLife, Inc. of $231 million. Disposition In May 2014, the Company completed the sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary, MAL, for $702 million ((Pounds)418 million) in net cash consideration. As a result of the sale, a loss of $608 million ($436 million, net of income tax) was recorded, which includes a reduction to goodwill of $112 million ($94 million, net of income tax). The loss on the sale was increased by net income from MAL of $77 million through the date of sale. Following the adoption of new guidance effective January 1, 2014, MAL's results of operations have been included in continuing operations in subsequent quarterly filings. They were historically included in the Corporate Benefit Funding segment. 131

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Schedule II Notes to the Condensed Financial Information (Parent Company Only) 1. Basis of Presentation The condensed financial information of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (the "Parent Company") should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and its subsidiaries and the notes thereto. These condensed unconsolidated financial statements reflect the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the Parent Company. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The preparation of these condensed unconsolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to adopt accounting policies and make certain estimates and assumptions. The most important of these estimates and assumptions relate to the fair value measurements, the accounting for goodwill and identifiable intangible assets and the provision for potential losses that may arise from litigation and regulatory proceedings and tax audits, which may affect the amounts reported in the condensed unconsolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. 2. Support Agreement The Parent Company has entered into a net worth maintenance agreement with its indirect subsidiary, MetLife Assurance Limited ("MAL"), a United Kingdom company. Under the agreement, the Parent Company agreed, without limitation as to amount, to cause MAL to have capital and surplus equal to the greater of (a) (Pounds)50 million, (b) such amount that will be sufficient to provide solvency cover equal to 175% of MAL's capital resources requirement as defined by applicable law and regulation as required by the Financial Services Authority of the United Kingdom (the "FSA") or any successor body, or (c) such amount that will be sufficient to provide solvency cover equal to 125% of MAL's individual capital guidance as defined by applicable law and regulation as required by the FSA or any successor body. As described in Note 17 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, a subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut reached an agreement to sell MAL to a third party. Upon the close of such sale, the Parent Company's obligations under this net worth maintenance agreement will terminate. 136

N-4565th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 565th
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of MetLife Investors Insurance Company: We have audited the accompanying financial statements of MetLife Investors Insurance Company (a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) (the "Company"), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholder's equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, and the related notes to the financial statements. Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors' Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design 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. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MetLife Investors Insurance Company as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Other Matter Results of the Company may not be indicative of those of a stand-alone entity, as the Company is a member of a controlled group of affiliated companies. /s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP Certified Public Accountants Tampa, Florida March 31, 2014 1

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Business MetLife Investors Insurance Company ("MLIIC"), a Missouri domiciled life insurance company (the "Company") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife, Inc. ("MetLife"). The Company markets, administers and insures a broad range of term life, universal life and variable and fixed annuity products to individuals. The Company is licensed to conduct business in 49 states and the District of Columbia. Most of the policies issued present no significant mortality or longevity risk to the Company, but rather represent investment deposits by the policyholders. In the second quarter of 2013, MetLife, Inc. announced its plans to merge three U.S.-based life insurance companies and an offshore reinsurance subsidiary to create one larger U.S.-based and U.S.-regulated life insurance company (the "Mergers"). The companies to be merged consist of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut ("MICC"), MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company ("MLI-USA") and MLIIC, each a U.S. insurance company that issues variable annuity products in addition to other products, and Exeter Reassurance Company, Ltd. ("Exeter"), a reinsurance company that mainly reinsures guarantees associated with variable annuity products. MICC, which is expected to be renamed and domiciled in Delaware, will be the surviving entity. Exeter, formerly a Cayman Islands company, was re-domesticated to Delaware in October 2013. The Mergers are expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2014, subject to regulatory approvals. Basis of Presentation 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 financial statements. In applying these policies and estimates, management makes subjective and complex judgments that frequently require assumptions 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 business and operations. Actual results could differ from estimates. Since the Company is a member of a controlled group of affiliated companies, its results may not be indicative of those of a stand-alone entity. 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: . such separate accounts are legally recognized; . assets supporting the contract liabilities are legally insulated from the Company's general account liabilities; . investments are directed by the contractholder; and 7

Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) . all investment performance, net of contract fees and assessments, is passed through to the contractholder. The Company reports separate account assets at their fair value, which is based on the estimated fair values of the underlying assets comprising the individual separate account portfolios. 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 statements of operations. 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. Such fees are included in universal life and investment-type product policy fees in the statements of operations. Reclassifications Certain amounts in the prior years' financial statements and related footnotes thereto have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation as discussed throughout the Notes to the Financial Statements. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The following are the Company's significant accounting policies with references to notes providing additional information on such policies and critical accounting estimates relating to such policies.

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 8

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) standards. Principal assumptions used in the establishment of liabilities for future policy benefits are mortality, policy lapse, renewal, investment returns, inflation, expenses and other contingent events as appropriate to the respective product type. These assumptions are established at the time the policy is issued and are intended to estimate the experience for the period the policy benefits are payable. Utilizing these assumptions, liabilities are established on a block of business basis. For long duration insurance contracts, assumptions such as mortality and interest rates are "locked in" upon the issuance of new business. However, significant adverse changes in experience on such contracts may require the establishment of premium deficiency reserves. Such reserves are determined based on the then current assumptions and do not include a provision for adverse deviation. The Company regularly reviews its estimates of liabilities for future policy benefits and compares them with its actual experience. Differences result in changes to the liability balances with related charges or credits to benefit expenses in the period in which the changes occur. Policyholder account balances ("PABs") relate to contract or contract features where the Company has no significant insurance risk. The Company issues certain variable annuity products with guaranteed minimum benefits that provide the policyholder a minimum return based on their initial deposit (i.e., the benefit base) less withdrawals. These guarantees are accounted for as insurance liabilities or as embedded derivatives depending on how and when the benefit is paid. Specifically, a guarantee is accounted for as an embedded derivative if a guarantee is paid without requiring (i) the occurrence of specific insurable event, or (ii) the policyholder to annuitize. Alternatively, a guarantee is accounted for as an insurance liability if the guarantee is paid only upon either (i) the occurrence of a specific insurable event, or (ii) annuitization. In certain cases, a guarantee may have elements of both an insurance liability and an embedded derivative and in such cases the guarantee is split and accounted for under both models. Guarantees accounted for as insurance liabilities in future policy benefits include guaranteed minimum death benefits ("GMDBs"), the portion of guaranteed minimum income benefits ("GMIBs") that require annuitization, and the life-contingent portion of guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits ("GMWBs"). Guarantees accounted for as embedded derivatives in PABs include the non life-contingent portion of GMWBs, guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits ("GMABs") and the portion of GMIBs that do not require annuitization. At inception, the Company attributes to the embedded derivative a portion of the projected future guarantee fees to be collected from the policyholder equal to the present value of projected future guaranteed benefits. Any additional fees represent "excess" fees and are reported in universal life and investment-type product policy fees. Other Policy-Related Balances Other policy-related balances include policy and contract claims and unearned revenue liabilities. The liability for policy and contract claims generally relates to incurred but not reported death 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 9

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) of incurred but not reported claims principally from analyses of historical patterns of claims by business line. 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, similar to deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC") as discussed further herein. Such amortization is recorded in universal life and investment-type product policy fees. Recognition of Insurance Revenues and Deposits 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 to recognize profits over the estimated lives of the insurance 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 earnings in a constant relationship to insurance in-force or, for annuities, the amount of expected future policy benefit payments. Deposits related to universal life-type and investment-type products are credited to PABs. Revenues from such contracts consist of fees 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 earnings include interest credited and benefit claims incurred in excess of related PABs. Premiums, policy fees, policyholder benefits and expenses are presented net of reinsurance. Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs, Value of Business Acquired and Other Policy-Related Intangibles The Company incurs significant costs in connection with acquiring new and renewal insurance business. Costs that are related directly to the successful acquisition or renewal of insurance contracts are capitalized as DAC. Such costs include: . incremental direct costs of contract acquisition, such as commissions; . the portion of an employee's total compensation and benefits related to time spent selling, underwriting or processing the issuance of new and renewal insurance business only with respect to actual policies acquired or renewed; and . other essential direct costs that would not have been incurred had a policy not been acquired or renewed. All other acquisition-related costs, including those related to general advertising and solicitation, market research, agent training, product development, unsuccessful sales and underwriting efforts, as well as all indirect costs, are expensed as incurred. 10

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Value of business acquired ("VOBA") is an intangible asset resulting from a business combination that represents the excess of book value over the estimated fair value of acquired insurance, annuity, and investment-type contracts in-force at the acquisition date. The estimated fair value of the acquired liabilities is based on projections, by each block of business, of future policy and contract charges, premiums, mortality, separate account performance, surrenders, operating expenses, investment returns, nonperformance risk adjustment and other factors. Actual experience on the purchased business may vary from these projections. DAC and VOBA are amortized as follows: Products: In proportion to the following over estimated lives of the contracts: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- . Fixed and variable universal life Actual and expected future gross contracts profits. . Fixed and variable deferred annuity contracts See Note 3 for additional information on DAC and VOBA amortization. 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. The Company generally 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. The amortization of sales inducements is included in policyholder benefits and claims. Each year, or more frequently if circumstances indicate a potential recoverability issue exists, the Company reviews deferred sales inducements to determine the recoverability of the asset. Reinsurance For each of its reinsurance agreements, the Company determines whether the agreement provides indemnification against loss or liability relating to insurance risk in accordance with applicable accounting standards. Cessions under reinsurance agreements do not discharge the Company's obligations as the primary insurer. The Company reviews all contractual features, including 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, and the liabilities ceded related to the underlying contracts is considered the net cost of reinsurance at the inception of the reinsurance agreement. The net cost of reinsurance is recorded as an adjustment to DAC when there is a gain at inception on the ceding entity and to other liabilities when there is a loss at inception. The net cost of reinsurance is recognized as a component of other expenses when there is a gain at inception and as policyholder benefits and claims when there is a loss and is subsequently amortized on a basis consistent with the methodology used for amortizing the DAC related to the 11

Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) underlying reinsured contracts. Subsequent amounts paid on the reinsurance of in-force blocks, as well as amounts paid related to new business, are recorded as ceded premiums and ceded premiums, reinsurance and other receivables are established. Amounts currently recoverable under reinsurance agreements are included in premiums, reinsurance and other receivables and amounts currently payable are included in other liabilities. Assets and liabilities relating to reinsurance agreements with the same reinsurer may be recorded net on the balance sheet, if a right of offset exists within the reinsurance agreement. In the event that reinsurers do not meet their obligations to the Company under the terms of the reinsurance agreements, reinsurance recoverable balances could become uncollectible. In such instances, reinsurance recoverable balances are stated net of allowances for uncollectible reinsurance. Premiums, fees and policyholder benefits and claims are net of reinsurance ceded. Amounts received from reinsurers for policy administration are reported in fees on ceded reinsurance and other. With respect to GMIBs, a portion of the directly written GMIBs are accounted for as insurance liabilities, but the associated reinsurance agreements contain embedded derivatives. These embedded derivatives are included in premiums, reinsurance and other receivables with changes in estimated fair value reported in net derivative gains (losses). If the Company determines that a reinsurance agreement does not expose the reinsurer to a reasonable possibility of a significant loss from insurance risk, the Company records the agreement using the deposit method of accounting. Deposits received are included in other liabilities and deposits made are included within premiums, reinsurance and other receivables. 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 fees on ceded reinsurance and other 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 fees on ceded reinsurance and other or other expenses, as appropriate. Investments Net Investment Income and Net Investment Gains (Losses) Income on investments is reported within net investment income, unless otherwise stated herein. Gains and losses on sales of investments, impairment losses and changes in valuation allowances are reported within net investment gains (losses). Fixed Maturity and Equity Securities The Company's fixed maturity and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale ("AFS") 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 (loss) ("OCI"), 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 are determined on a specific identification basis. Interest income on fixed maturity securities is recognized when earned using an effective yield method giving effect to amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Prepayment fees are recognized when earned. Dividends on equity securities are recognized when declared. 12

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) The Company periodically evaluates fixed maturity and equity securities for impairment. The assessment of whether impairments have occurred is based on management's case-by-case evaluation of the underlying reasons for the decline in estimated fair value, as well as an analysis of the gross unrealized losses by severity and/or age as described in Note 5 "-- Evaluation of AFS Securities for OTTI and Evaluating Temporarily Impaired AFS Securities." For fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position, an other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") is recognized in earnings when it is anticipated that the amortized cost will not be recovered. When either: (i) the Company has the intent to sell the security; or (ii) it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery, the OTTI recognized in earnings is the entire difference between the security's amortized cost and estimated fair value. If neither of these conditions exist, the difference between the amortized cost of the security and the present value of projected future cash flows expected to be collected is recognized as an OTTI in earnings ("credit loss"). If the estimated fair value is less than the present value of projected future cash flows expected to be collected, this portion of OTTI related to other-than-credit factors is recorded in OCI. With respect to equity securities, the Company considers in its OTTI analysis its intent and ability to hold a particular equity security for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of its estimated fair value to an amount equal to or greater than cost. If a sale decision is made for an equity security and recovery to an amount at least equal to cost prior to the sale is not expected, the security will be deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired in the period that the sale decision was made and an OTTI loss will be recorded in earnings. The OTTI loss recognized is the entire difference between the security's cost and its estimated fair value. Mortgage Loans The Company disaggregates its mortgage loan investments into two portfolio segments: commercial and agricultural. The accounting policies that are applicable to all portfolio segments are presented below and the accounting policies related to each of the portfolio segments are included in Note 5. Mortgage loans are stated at unpaid principal balance, adjusted for any unamortized premium or discount, deferred fees or expenses, and are net of valuation allowances. Interest income and prepayment fees are recognized when earned. Interest income is recognized using an effective yield method giving effect to amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Policy Loans Policy loans are stated at unpaid principal balances. Interest income on such loans is recorded as earned using the contractual interest rate. Generally, accrued interest is capitalized on the policy's anniversary date. Valuation allowances are not established for policy loans, as they are fully collateralized by the cash surrender value of the underlying insurance policies. Any unpaid principal or interest on the loan is deducted from the cash surrender value or the death benefit prior to settlement of the insurance policy. Other Limited Partnership Interests The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments in equity securities when it has significant influence or at least 20% interest and other limited partnership interests ("investees") when it has 13

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) more than a minor ownership interest or more than a minor influence over the investee's operations, but does not have a controlling financial interest. The Company generally recognizes its share of the investee's earnings on a three-month lag in instances where the investee's financial information is not sufficiently timely or when the investee's reporting period differs from the Company's reporting period. The Company uses the cost method of accounting for investments in which it has virtually no influence over the investee's operations. The Company recognizes distributions on cost method investments as earned or received. Because of the nature and structure of these cost method investments, they do not meet the characteristics of an equity security in accordance with applicable accounting standards. The Company routinely evaluates its equity method and cost method investments for impairment. 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. The Company considers its cost method investments for impairment when the carrying value of such investments exceeds the net asset value ("NAV"). The Company takes into consideration the severity and duration of this excess when determining whether the cost method investment is impaired. Short-term Investments Short-term investments include securities and other investments with remaining maturities of one year or less, but greater than three months, at the time of purchase and are stated at estimated fair value or amortized cost, which approximates estimated fair value. Other Invested Assets Other invested assets consist principally of the following: . Loans to affiliates are stated at unpaid principal balance, adjusted for any unamortized premium or discount. . Freestanding derivatives with positive estimated fair values are described in "--Derivatives" below. Securities Lending Program Securities lending transactions, whereby blocks of securities are loaned to third parties, primarily brokerage firms and commercial banks, are treated as financing arrangements and the associated liability is recorded at the amount of cash received. The Company obtains collateral at the inception of the loan, usually cash, in an amount generally equal to 102% of the estimated fair value of the securities loaned, and maintains it at a level greater than or equal to 100% for the duration of the loan. The Company is liable to return to the counterparties the cash collateral received. Security collateral on deposit from counterparties in connection with the securities lending transactions may not be sold or repledged, unless the counterparty is in default, and is not reflected in the financial statements. The Company monitors the estimated fair value of the securities loaned on a daily basis and additional collateral is obtained as necessary. Income and expenses associated with securities lending transactions are reported as investment income and investment expense, respectively, within net investment income. 14

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Derivatives Freestanding Derivatives Freestanding derivatives are carried in the Company's balance sheets either as assets within other invested assets or as liabilities within other liabilities at estimated fair value. The Company does not offset the fair value amounts recognized for derivatives executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting agreement. Accruals on derivatives are generally recorded in accrued investment income or within other liabilities. However, accruals that are not scheduled to settle within one year are included with the derivatives carrying value in other invested assets or other liabilities. If a derivative is not designated as an accounting hedge or its use in managing risk does not qualify for hedge accounting, changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative are reported in net derivative gains (losses). Hedge Accounting 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. Hedge designation and financial statement presentation of changes in estimated fair value of the hedging derivatives are as follows: . Fair value hedge (a hedge of the estimated fair value of a recognized asset or liability)--in net derivative gains (losses), consistent with the change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to the designated risk being hedged. . Cash flow hedge (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)--effectiveness in OCI (deferred gains or losses on the derivative are reclassified into the statement of operations when the Company's earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the hedged item); ineffectiveness in net derivative gains (losses). The changes in estimated fair values of the hedging derivatives are exclusive of any accruals that are separately reported in the statement of operations within interest income or interest expense to match the location of the hedged item. In its hedge 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 that 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 at least quarterly throughout the life of the designated hedging relationship. Assessments of hedge effectiveness and measurements of ineffectiveness are also subject to interpretation and estimation and different interpretations or estimates may have a material effect on the amount reported in net income. 15

When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is determined that the derivative is not highly effective in offsetting changes in the estimated fair value or cash flows of a hedged item, the derivative continues to be carried in the balance sheets at its estimated fair value, with changes in estimated fair value recognized in net derivative 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 estimated 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 estimated fair value of derivatives recorded in OCI related to discontinued cash flow hedges are released into the statements of operations 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 on the anticipated date or within two months of that date, the derivative continues to be carried in the balance sheets at its estimated fair value, with changes in estimated fair value recognized currently in net derivative gains (losses). Deferred gains and losses of a derivative recorded in OCI pursuant to the discontinued cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction that is no longer probable are recognized immediately in net derivative gains (losses). In all other situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued, the derivative is carried at its estimated fair value in the balance sheets, with changes in its estimated fair value recognized in the current period as net derivative gains (losses). Embedded Derivatives The Company sells variable annuities and issues certain insurance products and investment contracts and is a party to certain reinsurance agreements that have embedded derivatives. The Company assesses each identified embedded derivative to determine whether it is required to be bifurcated. The embedded derivative is bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for as a freestanding derivative if: . the combined instrument is not accounted for in its entirety at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings; . the terms of the embedded derivative are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract; and . a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would qualify as a derivative instrument. Such embedded derivatives are carried in the balance sheets at estimated fair value with the host contract and changes in their estimated fair value are generally reported in net derivative 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 estimated fair value, with changes in estimated fair value recognized in the current period in net investment gains (losses) or net investment income. Additionally, the 16

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Company may elect to carry an entire contract on the balance sheet at estimated fair value, with changes in estimated fair value recognized in the current period in net investment gains (losses) or net investment income if that contract contains an embedded derivative that requires bifurcation. At inception, the Company attributes to the embedded derivative a portion of the projected future guarantee fees to be collected from the policyholder equal to the present value of projected future guaranteed benefits. Any additional fees represent "excess" fees and are reported in universal life and investment-type product policy fees. Fair Value Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. In most cases, the exit price and the transaction (or entry) price will be the same at initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, fair values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are readily and regularly obtainable. When such quoted prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar but not identical assets or liabilities, or other observable inputs. If these inputs are not available, or observable inputs are not determinable, unobservable inputs and/or adjustments to observable inputs requiring management judgment are used to determine the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities. Goodwill Goodwill, which is included in other assets, is the excess of cost over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired which represents the future economic benefits arising from such net assets acquired that could not be individually identified. 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. The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment testing during the third quarter of each year based upon data as of the close of the second quarter. Goodwill associated with a business acquisition is not tested for impairment during the year the business is acquired unless there is a significant identified impairment event. 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. Management has concluded that the Company has one reporting unit. For purposes of goodwill impairment testing, if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, there may be an indication of impairment. In such instances, the implied fair value of the goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill that would be determined in a business combination. The excess of the carrying value of goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill would be recognized as an impairment and recorded as a charge against net income. In performing the Company's goodwill impairment test, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is determined using a market multiple approach. When further corroboration is required, the Company uses a discounted cash flow approach. The Company may use additional valuation methodologies when appropriate. 17

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) The key inputs, judgments and assumptions necessary in determining estimated fair value of the reporting unit include projected operating earnings, current book value, the level of economic capital required to support the mix of business, long-term growth rates, comparative market multiples, the account value of in-force business, projections of new and renewal business, as well as margins on such business, the level of interest rates, credit spreads, equity market levels, and the discount rate that the Company believes is appropriate for the reporting unit. The Company applies significant judgment when determining the estimated fair value of its reporting unit. The valuation methodologies utilized are subject to key judgments and assumptions that are sensitive to change. Estimates of fair value are inherently uncertain and represent only management's reasonable expectation regarding future developments. These estimates and the judgments and assumptions upon which the estimates are based will, in all likelihood, differ in some respects from actual future results. Declines in the estimated fair value of the Company's reporting unit could result in goodwill impairments in future periods which could adversely affect the Company's results of operations or financial position. In 2013, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test using the market multiple valuation approach. The analysis results indicated that the fair value of the reporting unit was in excess of its carrying value and, therefore, goodwill was not impaired. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates potential triggering events that may affect the estimated fair value of the Company's reporting unit to assess whether any goodwill impairment exists. Deteriorating or adverse market conditions may have an impact on the estimated fair value and could result in future impairments of goodwill. The Company has no accumulated goodwill impairment as of December 31, 2013. Goodwill was $33 million at both December 31, 2013 and 2012. Income Tax The Company joined with MetLife and its includable subsidiaries in filing a consolidated U.S. life and non-life federal income tax return in accordance with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Current taxes (and the benefits of tax attributes such as losses) are allocated to the Company under the consolidated tax return regulations and a tax sharing agreement. Under the consolidated tax return regulations, MetLife has elected the "percentage method" (and 100 percent under such method) of reimbursing companies for tax attributes such as losses. As a result, 100 percent of tax attributes such as losses are reimbursed by MetLife to the extent that consolidated federal income tax of the consolidated federal tax return group is reduced in a year by tax attributes such as losses. Profitable subsidiaries pay to MetLife each year the federal income tax which such profitable subsidiary would have paid that year based upon that year's taxable income. If the Company has current or prior deductions and credits (including but not limited to losses) which reduce the consolidated tax liability of the consolidated federal tax return group, the deductions and credits are characterized as realized (or realizable) by the Company when those tax attributes are realized (or realizable) by the consolidated federal tax return group, even if the Company would not have realized the attributes on a stand-alone basis under a "wait and see" method. The Company's accounting for income taxes represents management's best estimate of various events and transactions. 18

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 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. 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. Factors in management's determination include the performance of the business and its ability to generate capital gains. 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: . future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards; . future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences; . taxable income in prior carryback years; and . tax planning strategies. The Company may be required to change its provision for income taxes in certain circumstances. Examples of such circumstances include 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 laws, tax regulations, or interpretations of such laws or regulations, 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 financial statements in the year these changes occur. The Company determines 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. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. Unrecognized tax benefits due to tax uncertainties that do not meet the threshold are included within other liabilities and are charged to earnings in the period that such determination is made. The Company classifies interest recognized as interest expense and penalties recognized as a component of income tax. 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 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. Legal costs are recognized as incurred. On an 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 financial statements. 19

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Other Accounting Policies Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid securities and other investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at amortized cost, which approximates estimated fair value. Computer Software Computer software, which is included in other assets, is stated at cost, less accumulated amortization. Purchased software costs, as well as certain 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 $15 million and $14 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Accumulated amortization of capitalized software was $8 million and $6 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Related amortization expense was $2 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. Fees on Ceded Reinsurance and Other Fees on ceded reinsurance and other primarily include, in addition to items described elsewhere herein, fee income on financial reinsurance agreements. Such fees are recognized in the period in which services are performed. Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements Effective July 17, 2013, the Company adopted new guidance regarding derivatives that permits the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to the United States Treasury and London Interbank Offered Rate. Also, this new guidance removes the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. The new guidance did not have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption, but may impact the selection of benchmark interest rates for hedging relationships in the future. Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted new guidance regarding comprehensive income that requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated OCI ("AOCI") by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The adoption was prospectively applied and resulted in additional disclosures in Note 8. Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted new guidance regarding balance sheet offsetting disclosures which requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements for derivatives, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities 20

Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) borrowing and lending transactions, to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effects of those arrangements on its financial position. Entities are required to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The adoption was retrospectively applied and resulted in additional disclosures related to derivatives in Note 6. On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted new guidance regarding accounting for DAC, which was retrospectively applied. The guidance specifies that only costs related directly to successful acquisition of new or renewal contracts can be capitalized as DAC; all other acquisition-related costs must be expensed as incurred. As a result, certain sales manager compensation and administrative costs previously capitalized by the Company will no longer be deferred. On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted new guidance regarding comprehensive income, which was retrospectively applied, that provides companies with the option to present the total of comprehensive income, components of net income, and the components of OCI either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements in annual financial statements. The standard eliminates the option to present components of OCI as part of the statement of changes in stockholder's equity. The Company adopted the two-statement approach for annual financial statements. Effective January 1, 2012, the Company adopted new guidance regarding fair value measurements that establishes common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. Some of the amendments clarify the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") intent on the application of existing fair value measurement requirements. Other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements other than the expanded disclosures in Note 7. Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements In February 2013, the FASB issued new guidance regarding liabilities (Accounting Standards Update 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date), effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim periods within those years. The amendments require an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of the guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. In addition, the amendments require an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation, as well as other information about the obligation. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements. 21

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 3. Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs, Value of Business Acquired and Other Policy-Related Intangibles (continued) Fixed and Variable Universal Life Contracts and Fixed and Variable Deferred Annuity Contracts The Company amortizes DAC and VOBA related to these 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 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. When expected future gross profits are below those previously estimated, the DAC and VOBA amortization will increase, resulting in a current period charge to earnings. The opposite result occurs when the expected future gross profits are above the previously estimated expected future gross profits. Each period, the Company also reviews the estimated gross profits for each block of business to determine the recoverability of DAC and VOBA balances. Factors Impacting Amortization 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, which can result in significant fluctuations in amortization of DAC and VOBA. 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 and living 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 events and only changes the assumption when its long-term expectation changes. The Company also periodically reviews other long-term assumptions underlying the projections of estimated gross profits. These assumptions primarily relate to investment returns, interest crediting rates, mortality, persistency and expenses to administer business. Management annually updates assumptions used in the calculation of estimated gross profits which may have significantly changed. If the update of assumptions causes expected future gross 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 profits to decrease. Periodically, the Company modifies product benefits, features, rights or coverages that occur by the exchange of a contract for a new contract, or by amendment, endorsement, or rider to a contract, or by election or coverage 27

If such modification, referred to as an internal replacement, substantially changes the contract, the associated DAC or VOBA is written off immediately through income and any new deferrable costs associated with the replacement contract are deferred. If the modification does not substantially change the contract, the DAC or VOBA amortization on the original contract will continue and any acquisition costs associated with the related modification are expensed. Amortization of DAC and VOBA is attributed to net investment gains (losses) and net derivative gains (losses), and to other expenses for the amount of gross profits originating from transactions other than investment gains and losses. Unrealized investment gains and losses represent the amount of DAC and VOBA that would have been amortized if such gains and losses had been recognized.

Reinsurance The Company enters into reinsurance agreements primarily as a purchaser of reinsurance for its various insurance products. The Company participates in reinsurance activities in order to limit losses and minimize exposure to significant risks. 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 reinsurance and evaluates the financial strength of counterparties to its reinsurance agreements using criteria similar to that evaluated in the security impairment process discussed in Note 5. For its individual life insurance products, the Company has historically reinsured the mortality risk primarily on an excess of retention basis or on a quota share basis. In addition to reinsuring mortality risk as described above, the Company reinsures other risks, as well as specific coverages. Placement of reinsurance is done primarily on an automatic basis and also on a facultative basis for risks with specified characteristics. The Company currently reinsures 100% of the living and death benefit guarantees issued in connection with its variable annuities to affiliated reinsurers. Under these reinsurance agreements, the Company pays a reinsurance premium generally based on fees associated with the guarantees collected from policyholders, and receives reimbursement for benefits paid or accrued in excess of account values, subject to certain limitations. The Company also reinsures 90% of its fixed annuities to an affiliated reinsurer. The value of the embedded 29

Reinsurance (continued) derivatives on the ceded risk is determined using a methodology consistent with the guarantees directly written by the Company with the exception of the input for nonperformance risk that reflects the credit of the reinsurer. 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 agreements to provide greater diversification of risk and minimize exposure to larger risks. The Company reinsures its remaining business through a diversified group of well-capitalized reinsurers. The Company analyzes recent trends in arbitration and litigation outcomes in disputes, if any, with its reinsurers. The Company monitors ratings and evaluates the financial strength of its reinsurers by analyzing their financial statements. In addition, the reinsurance recoverable balance due from each reinsurer is evaluated as part of the overall monitoring process. Recoverability of reinsurance recoverable balances is evaluated based on these analyses. These reinsurance recoverable balances are stated net of allowances for uncollectible reinsurance, which at December 31, 2013 and 2012, were not significant. The Company had $6 million and $8 million of unsecured unaffiliated ceded reinsurance recoverable balances at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Of these totals, 100% were with the Company's five largest unaffiliated ceded reinsurers at both December 31, 2013 and 2012.

The Company had $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion of unsecured affiliated reinsurance recoverable balances at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Affiliated reinsurance agreements that do not expose the Company to a reasonable possibility of a significant loss from insurance risk are recorded using the deposit method of accounting. The deposit assets on affiliated reinsurance were $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. There were no deposit liabilities on affiliated reinsurance at both December 31, 2013 and 2012. 5. Investments See Note 7 for information about the fair value hierarchy for investments and the related valuation methodologies. Investment Risks and Uncertainties Investments are exposed to the following primary sources of risk: credit, interest rate, liquidity, market valuation, currency and real estate risk. The financial statement risks, stemming from such investment risks, are those associated with the determination of estimated fair values, the diminished ability to sell certain investments in times of strained market conditions, the recognition of impairments, the recognition of income on certain investments and the potential consolidation of variable interest entities ("VIEs"). The use of different methodologies, assumptions and inputs relating to these financial statement risks may have a material effect on the amounts presented within the financial statements. The determination of valuation allowances and impairments is highly subjective and is based upon periodic evaluations and assessments 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. 32

Methodology for Amortization of Premium and Accretion of Discount on Structured Securities Amortization of premium and accretion of discount on structured 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 originally anticipated and the actual prepayments received and currently anticipated. Prepayment assumptions for single class and multi-class mortgage-backed and ABS are estimated using inputs obtained from third-party specialists and based on management's knowledge of the current market. For credit-sensitive mortgage-backed and ABS and certain prepayment-sensitive securities, the effective yield is recalculated on a prospective basis. For all other mortgage-backed and ABS, the effective yield is recalculated on a retrospective basis. 33

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 in the impairment evaluation process include, but are not limited to: (i) the length of time and the extent to which the estimated fair value has been below cost or amortized cost; (ii) the potential for impairments 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 where the issuer, series of issuers or industry has suffered a catastrophic loss or has exhausted natural resources; (vi) with respect to fixed maturity securities, whether the Company has the intent to sell or will more likely than not be required to sell a particular security before the decline in estimated fair value below amortized cost recovers; (vii) with respect to structured securities, changes in forecasted cash flows after considering the quality of underlying collateral, expected prepayment speeds, current and forecasted loss severity, consideration of the payment terms of the underlying assets backing a particular security, and the payment priority within the tranche structure of the security; and (viii) other subjective factors, including concentrations and information obtained from regulators and rating agencies. 35

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 5. Investments (continued) The methodology and significant inputs used to determine the amount of credit loss on fixed maturity securities are as follows: . The Company calculates the recovery value by performing a discounted cash flow analysis based on the present value of future cash flows. The discount rate is generally the effective interest rate of the security prior to impairment. . When determining collectability and the period over which value is expected to recover, the Company applies considerations utilized in its overall impairment evaluation process which incorporates information regarding the specific security, fundamentals of the industry and geographic area in which the security issuer operates, and overall macroeconomic conditions. Projected future cash flows are estimated using assumptions derived from management's best estimates of likely scenario-based outcomes after giving consideration to a variety of variables that include, but are not limited to: payment terms of the security; the likelihood that the issuer can service the interest and principal payments; the quality and amount of any credit enhancements; the security's position within the capital structure of the issuer; possible corporate restructurings or asset sales by the issuer; and changes to the rating of the security or the issuer by rating agencies. . Additional considerations are made when assessing the unique features that apply to certain structured securities including, but not limited to: the quality of underlying collateral, expected prepayment speeds, current and forecasted loss severity, consideration of the payment terms of the underlying loans or assets backing a particular security, and the payment priority within the tranche structure of the security. . When determining the amount of the credit loss for U.S. and foreign corporate securities, state and political subdivision securities and foreign government securities, the estimated fair value is considered the recovery value when available information does not indicate that another value is more appropriate. When information is identified that indicates a recovery value other than estimated fair value, management considers in the determination of recovery value the same considerations utilized in its overall impairment evaluation process as described above, as well as any private and public sector programs to restructure such securities. With respect to securities that have attributes of debt and equity (perpetual hybrid securities), consideration is given in the OTTI analysis as to whether there has been any deterioration in the credit of the issuer and the likelihood of recovery in value of the securities that are in a severe and extended unrealized loss position. Consideration is also given as to whether any perpetual hybrid securities, with an unrealized loss, regardless of credit rating, have deferred any dividend payments. When an OTTI loss has occurred, the OTTI loss is the entire difference between the perpetual hybrid security's cost and its estimated fair value with a corresponding charge to earnings. The cost or amortized cost of fixed maturity and equity securities is adjusted for OTTI in the period in which the determination is made. The Company does not change the revised cost basis for subsequent recoveries in value. 36

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 5. Investments (continued) In periods subsequent to the recognition of OTTI on a fixed maturity security, the Company accounts for the impaired security as if it had been purchased on the measurement date of the impairment. Accordingly, the discount (or reduced premium) based on the new cost basis is accreted over the remaining term of the fixed maturity security in a prospective manner based on the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows. Current Period Evaluation Based on the Company's current evaluation of its AFS securities in an unrealized loss position in accordance with its impairment policy, and the Company's current intentions and assessments (as applicable to the type of security) about holding, selling and any requirements to sell these securities, the Company has concluded that these securities are not other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2013. Future OTTI will depend primarily on economic fundamentals, issuer performance (including changes in the present value of future cash flows expected to be collected), and changes in credit ratings, collateral valuation, interest rates and credit spreads. If economic fundamentals deteriorate or if there are adverse changes in the above factors, OTTI may be incurred in upcoming periods. Gross unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities increased $28 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 from $13 million to $41 million. The increase in gross unrealized losses for the year ended December 31, 2013, was primarily attributable to an increase in interest rates, partially offset by narrowing credit spreads. At December 31, 2013, $5 million of the total $41 million of gross unrealized losses were from one below investment grade fixed maturity security with an unrealized loss position of 20% or more of amortized cost for six months or greater. Unrealized losses on the below investment grade fixed maturity security are related to non-agency RMBS (alternative residential mortgage loans) and are the result of significantly wider credit spreads resulting from higher risk premiums since purchase, largely due to economic and market uncertainties including concerns over unemployment levels and valuations of residential real estate supporting non-agency RMBS. Management evaluates non-agency RMBS based on actual and projected cash flows after considering the quality of underlying collateral, expected prepayment speeds, current and forecasted loss severity, consideration of the payment terms of the underlying assets backing a particular security, and the payment priority within the tranche structure of the security. Equity Securities Gross unrealized losses on equity securities decreased $2 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 from $3 million to $1 million. None of the $1 million of gross unrealized losses were from equity securities with gross unrealized losses of 20% or more of cost for 12 months or greater. 37

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 5. Investments (continued) Valuation Allowance Methodology Mortgage 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 loan agreement. Specific valuation allowances are established using the same methodology for both portfolio segments as the excess carrying value of a loan over either (i) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate, (ii) the estimated fair value of the loan's underlying collateral if the loan is in the process of foreclosure or otherwise collateral dependent, or (iii) the loan's observable market price. A common evaluation framework is used for establishing non-specific valuation allowances for both loan portfolio segments; however, a separate non-specific valuation allowance is calculated and maintained for each loan portfolio segment that is based on inputs unique to each loan portfolio segment. Non-specific valuation allowances are established for pools of loans with similar risk characteristics where a property-specific or market-specific risk has not been identified, but for which the Company expects to incur a credit loss. These evaluations are based upon several loan portfolio segment-specific factors, including the Company's experience for loan losses, defaults and loss severity, and loss expectations for loans with similar risk characteristics. These evaluations are revised as conditions change and new information becomes available. Commercial and Agricultural Mortgage Loan Portfolio Segments The Company typically uses several years of historical experience in establishing non-specific valuation allowances which captures multiple economic cycles. For evaluations of commercial mortgage loans, in addition to historical experience, management considers factors that include the impact of a rapid change to the economy, which may not be reflected in the loan portfolio, and recent loss and recovery trend experience as compared to historical loss and recovery experience. For evaluations of agricultural mortgage loans, in addition to historical experience, management considers factors that include increased stress in certain sectors, which may be evidenced by higher delinquency rates, or a change in the number of higher risk loans. On a quarterly basis, management incorporates the impact of these current market events and conditions on historical experience in determining the non-specific valuation allowance established for commercial and agricultural mortgage loans. All commercial mortgage loans are reviewed on an ongoing basis which may include an analysis of the property financial statements and rent roll, lease rollover analysis, property inspections, market analysis, estimated valuations of the underlying collateral, loan-to-value ratios, debt service coverage ratios, and tenant creditworthiness. All agricultural mortgage loans are monitored on an ongoing basis. The monitoring process focuses on higher risk loans, which include those that are classified as restructured, delinquent or in foreclosure, as well as loans with higher loan-to-value ratios and lower debt service coverage ratios. The monitoring process for agricultural mortgage loans is generally similar to the commercial mortgage loan monitoring process, with a focus on higher risk loans, including reviews on a geographic and property-type basis. Higher risk loans are reviewed individually on an ongoing basis for potential credit loss and specific valuation allowances are established using the methodology described above. Quarterly, the remaining loans are reviewed on a pool basis by aggregating groups of loans that have similar risk characteristics for potential credit loss, and non-specific valuation allowances are established as described above using inputs that are unique to each segment of the loan portfolio. 39

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 5. Investments (continued) For commercial mortgage loans, the primary credit quality indicator is the debt service coverage ratio, which compares a property's net operating income to amounts needed to service the principal and interest due under the loan. Generally, the lower the debt service coverage ratio, the higher the risk of experiencing a credit loss. The Company also reviews the loan-to-value ratio of its commercial mortgage loan portfolio. Loan-to-value ratios compare the unpaid principal balance of the loan to the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. Generally, the higher the loan-to-value ratio, the higher the risk of experiencing a credit loss. The debt service coverage ratio and loan-to-value ratio, as well as the values utilized in calculating these ratios, are updated annually, on a rolling basis, with a portion of the loan portfolio updated each quarter. For agricultural mortgage loans, the Company's primary credit quality indicator is the loan-to-value ratio. The values utilized in calculating this ratio are developed in connection with the ongoing review of the agricultural mortgage loan portfolio and are routinely updated. Credit Quality of Commercial Mortgage Loans The credit quality of commercial mortgage loans, were as follows: [Enlarge/Download Table] Recorded Investment ------------------------------------------- Debt Service Coverage Ratios ----------------------------- % of Estimated % of > 1.20x 1.00x - 1.20x < 1.00x Total Total Fair Value Total ------- ------------- ------- ------ ------ ------------- ------ (In millions) (In millions) December 31, 2013: Loan-to-value ratios: Less than 65%......... $ 193 $ 9 $ 15 $ 217 88.2 % $ 228 88.4 % 65% to 75%............ 19 -- 10 29 11.8 30 11.6 ------ ----- ----- ------ ------ ------ ------ Total................ $ 212 $ 9 $ 25 $ 246 100.0 % $ 258 100.0 % ====== ===== ===== ====== ====== ====== ====== December 31, 2012: Loan-to-value ratios: Less than 65%......... $ 194 $ 10 $ 9 $ 213 89.5 % $ 231 90.2 % 65% to 75%............ 15 -- 10 25 10.5 25 9.8 ------ ----- ----- ------ ------ ------ ------ Total................ $ 209 $ 10 $ 19 $ 238 100.0 % $ 256 100.0 % ====== ===== ===== ====== ====== ====== ====== Credit Quality of Agricultural Mortgage Loans All of the agricultural mortgage loans held at both December 31, 2013 and 2012 had loan-to-value ratios of less than 65%. Past Due, Interest Accrual Status and Impaired Mortgage Loans The Company has a high quality, well performing, mortgage loan portfolio, with all mortgage loans classified as performing at both December 31, 2013 and 2012. The Company defines delinquency consistent with industry practice, when mortgage loans are past due as follows: commercial mortgage loans -- 60 days and agricultural mortgage loans -- 90 days. The Company had no impaired mortgage loans, no mortgage loans past due and no mortgage loans in non-accrual status at both December 31, 2013 and 2012. The Company did not recognize interest income on impaired mortgage loans during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. 40

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 5. Investments (continued) Mortgage Loans Modified in a Troubled Debt Restructuring The Company may grant concessions related to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties which are classified as troubled debt restructurings. Generally, the types of concessions include: reduction of the contractual interest rate, extension of the maturity date at an interest rate lower than current market interest rates, and/or a reduction of accrued interest. The amount, timing and extent of the concession granted is considered in determining any impairment or changes in the specific valuation allowance recorded with the restructuring. Through the continuous monitoring process, a specific valuation allowance may have been recorded prior to the quarter when the mortgage loan is modified in a troubled debt restructuring. Accordingly, the carrying value (after specific valuation allowance) before and after modification through a troubled debt restructuring may not change significantly, or may increase if the expected recovery is higher than the pre-modification recovery assessment. There were no mortgage loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. Other Invested Assets Other invested assets is comprised of loans to affiliates (see " -- Related Party Investment Transactions") and freestanding derivatives with positive estimated fair values (see Note 6). Cash Equivalents The carrying value of cash equivalents, which includes securities and other investments with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase, was $17 million and $23 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. 41

See "-- Securities Lending" for securities on loan. Variable Interest Entities The Company has invested in certain structured transactions that are VIEs. In certain instances, the Company may hold both the power to direct the most significant activities of the entity, as well as an economic interest in the entity and, as such, it would be deemed the primary beneficiary or consolidator of the entity. The determination of the VIE's primary beneficiary requires an evaluation of the contractual and implied rights and obligations associated with each party's relationship with or involvement in the entity, an estimate of the entity's expected losses and expected residual returns and the allocation of such estimates to each party involved in the entity. The Company generally uses a qualitative approach to determine whether it is the primary beneficiary. However, for VIEs that are investment companies or apply measurement principles consistent with those utilized by investment companies, the primary beneficiary is based on a risks and rewards model and is defined as the entity that will absorb a majority of a VIE's expected losses, receive a majority of a VIE's expected residual returns if no single entity absorbs a majority of expected losses, or both. The Company reassesses its involvement with VIEs on a quarterly basis. The use of different methodologies, assumptions and inputs in the determination of the primary beneficiary could have a material effect on the amounts presented within the financial statements. Consolidated VIEs There were no VIEs for which the Company has concluded that it is the primary beneficiary and which are consolidated at December 31, 2013 and 2012. 44

Investments (continued) The Company receives investment administrative services from an affiliate. The related investment administrative service charges were $3 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. 6. Derivatives Accounting for Derivatives See Note 1 for a description of the Company's accounting policies for derivatives and Note 7 for information about the fair value hierarchy for derivatives. Derivative Strategies The Company is exposed to various risks relating to its ongoing business operations, including interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate, credit and equity. The Company uses a variety of strategies to manage these risks, including the use of derivatives. Derivatives are financial instruments whose values are derived from interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, credit spreads and/or other financial indices. Derivatives may be exchange-traded or contracted in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market. Certain of the Company's OTC derivatives are cleared and settled through central clearing counterparties ("OTC-cleared"), while others are bilateral contracts between two counterparties ("OTC-bilateral"). The types of derivatives the Company uses include swaps, futures and option contracts. To a lesser extent, the Company uses credit default swaps to synthetically replicate investment risks and returns which are not readily available in the cash market. Interest Rate Derivatives The Company uses a variety of interest rate derivatives to reduce its exposure to changes in interest rates, including interest rate swaps and floors. 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 amount. The Company utilizes interest rate swaps in fair value and non-qualifying hedging relationships. The Company purchases interest rate floors primarily to protect its minimum rate guarantee liabilities against declines in interest rates below a specified level. In certain instances, the Company locks in the economic impact of existing purchased floors by entering into offsetting written floors. The Company utilizes interest rate floors in non-qualifying hedging relationships. To a lesser extent, the Company uses interest rate futures in non-qualifying hedging relationships. Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Derivatives The Company uses foreign currency swaps to reduce the risk from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with its assets denominated in foreign currencies. In a foreign currency swap transaction, the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between one currency and 48

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 6. Derivatives (continued) another at a fixed exchange rate, generally set at inception, calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional amount. The notional amount of each currency is exchanged at the inception and termination of the currency swap by each party. The Company utilizes foreign currency swaps in cash flow and non-qualifying hedging relationships. Credit Derivatives The Company enters into purchased credit default swaps to hedge against credit-related changes in the value of its investments. In a credit default swap transaction, the Company agrees with another party to pay, at specified intervals, a premium to hedge credit risk. If a credit event occurs, as defined by the contract, the contract may be cash settled or it may 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 events vary by type of issuer but typically include bankruptcy, failure to pay debt obligations, repudiation, moratorium, or involuntary restructuring. In each case, payout on a credit default swap is triggered only after the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee of the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA") deems that a credit event has occurred. The Company utilizes credit default swaps in non-qualifying hedging relationships. The Company enters into written credit default swaps to synthetically create credit investments that are either more expensive to acquire or otherwise unavailable in the cash markets. These transactions are a combination of a derivative and one or more cash instruments, such as U.S. Treasury securities, agency securities or other fixed maturity securities. These credit default swaps are not designated as hedging instruments.

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 6. Derivatives (continued) Based on notional amounts, a substantial portion of the Company's derivatives was not designated or did not qualify as part of a hedging relationship at both December 31, 2013 and 2012. The Company's use of derivatives includes (i) derivatives that serve as macro hedges of the Company's exposure to various risks and that generally do not qualify for hedge accounting due to the criteria required under the portfolio hedging rules; (ii) derivatives that economically hedge insurance liabilities that contain mortality or morbidity risk and that generally do not qualify for hedge accounting because the lack of these risks in the derivatives cannot support an expectation of a highly effective hedging relationship; and (iii) written credit default swaps that are used to synthetically create credit investments and that do not qualify for hedge accounting because they do not involve a hedging relationship. For these non-qualified derivatives, changes in market factors can lead to the recognition of fair value changes in the statement of operations without an offsetting gain or loss recognized in earnings for the item being hedged. Net Derivative Gains (Losses) The components of net derivative gains (losses) were as follows: [Download Table] Years Ended December 31, ---------------------- 2013 2012 2011 -------- ------ ------ (In millions) Derivatives and hedging gains (losses).. $ (27) $ 26 $ 36 Embedded derivatives....................

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 6. Derivatives (continued) In certain instances, the Company discontinued cash flow hedge accounting because the forecasted transactions were no longer probable of occurring. When such forecasted transactions are not probable of occurring within two months of the anticipated date, the Company reclassifies certain amounts from AOCI into net derivative gains (losses). For the year ended December 31, 2013 the amounts reclassified into net derivative gains (losses) related to such discontinued cash flow hedges were not significant. For both the years ended 2012 and 2011, there were no amounts reclassified into net derivative gains (losses) related to such discontinued cash flow hedges. There were no hedged forecasted transactions, other than the receipt or payment of variable interest payments, for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the balance in AOCI associated with foreign currency swaps designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges was ($1) million and $1 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, there was ($2) million, ($1) million and $1 million of gains (losses) deferred in AOCI related to foreign currency swaps, respectively. For both the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the amounts reclassified to net derivative gains (losses) related to foreign currency swaps were not significant. For the year ended December 31, 2011, there were no amounts reclassified to net derivative gains (losses) related to foreign currency swaps. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, there were no amounts reclassified to net investment income related to foreign currency swaps. For both the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the amounts recognized in net derivative gains (losses) which represented the ineffective portion of all cash flow hedges were not significant. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company did not recognize any net derivative gains (losses) which represented the ineffective portion of all cash flow hedges. At December 31, 2013, ($1) million of deferred net gains (losses) on derivatives in AOCI was expected to be reclassified to earnings within the next 12 months. All components of each derivative's gain or loss were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Credit Derivatives In connection with synthetically created credit investment transactions, the Company writes credit default swaps for which it receives a premium to insure credit risk. Such credit derivatives are included within the non-qualifying derivatives and derivatives for purposes other than hedging table. If a credit event occurs, as defined by the contract, the contract may be cash settled or it may be settled gross by the Company paying the counterparty the specified swap notional amount in exchange for the delivery of par quantities of the referenced credit obligation. The Company's maximum amount at risk, assuming the value of all referenced credit obligations is zero, was $20 million and $22 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company can terminate these contracts at any time through cash settlement with the counterparty at an amount equal to the then current fair value of the credit default swaps. At both December 31, 2013 and 2012, the amounts the Company would have received to terminate all of these contracts was not significant. 52

(3)The weighted average years to maturity of the credit default swaps is calculated based on weighted average notional amounts. Credit Risk on Freestanding Derivatives The Company may be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to derivatives. Generally, the current credit exposure of the Company's derivatives is limited to the net positive estimated fair value of derivatives at the reporting date after taking into consideration the existence of master netting or similar agreements and any collateral received pursuant to such agreements. The Company manages its credit risk related to derivatives by entering into transactions with creditworthy counterparties and establishing and monitoring exposure limits. The Company's OTC-bilateral derivative transactions are generally governed by ISDA Master Agreements which provide for legally enforceable set-off and close-out netting of exposures to specific counterparties in the event of early termination of a transaction, which includes, but is not limited to, events of default and bankruptcy. In the event of an early termination, the Company is permitted to set off receivables from the counterparty against payables to the same counterparty arising out of all included transactions. Substantially all of the Company's ISDA Master Agreements also include Credit Support Annex provisions which require both the pledging and accepting of collateral in connection with its OTC-bilateral derivatives. 53

Derivatives (continued) (3)Cash collateral received is included in cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, or in fixed maturity securities, and the obligation to return it is included in payables for collateral under securities loaned and other transactions in the balance sheets. The receivable for the return of cash collateral provided by the Company is inclusive of initial margin on exchange traded and OTC-cleared derivatives and is included in premiums, reinsurance and other receivables in the balance sheets. The amount of cash collateral offset in the table above is limited to the net estimated fair value of derivatives after application of netting agreements. At both December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had not received or paid any excess cash collateral. (4)Securities collateral received by the Company is held in separate custodial accounts and is not recorded on the balance sheets. Subject to certain constraints, the Company is permitted by contract to sell or repledge this collateral, but at December 31, 2013 none of the collateral had been sold or repledged. Securities collateral pledged by the Company is reported in fixed maturity securities in the balance sheets. Subject to certain constraints, the counterparties are permitted by contract to sell or repledge this collateral. The amount of securities collateral offset in the table above is limited to the net estimated fair value of derivatives after application of netting agreements and cash collateral. At both December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company received excess securities collateral with an estimated fair value of $1 million for its OTC-bilateral derivatives, which are not included in the table above due to the foregoing limitation. At both December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had provided no excess securities collateral for its OTC-bilateral derivatives, and had provided $1 million and $0, respectively, for its OTC- cleared derivatives, which are not included in the table above due to the foregoing limitation. At both December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not pledge any securities collateral for its exchange-traded derivatives. The Company's collateral arrangements for its OTC-bilateral derivatives generally require the counterparty in a net liability position, after considering the effect of netting agreements, to pledge collateral when the fair value of that counterparty's derivatives reaches a pre-determined threshold. Certain of these arrangements also include financial strength-contingent provisions that provide for a reduction of these thresholds (on a sliding scale that converges toward zero) in the event of downgrades in the financial strength ratings of the Company and/or the credit ratings of the counterparty. In addition, certain of the Company's netting agreements for derivatives contain provisions that require both the Company and the counterparty to maintain a specific investment grade financial strength or credit rating from each of Moody's and S&P. If a party's financial strength or credit ratings were to fall below that specific investment grade financial strength or credit rating, that party would be in violation of these provisions, and the other party to the derivatives could terminate the transactions and demand immediate settlement and payment based on such party's reasonable valuation of the derivatives. The following table presents the estimated fair value of the Company's OTC-bilateral derivatives that are in a net liability position after considering the effect of netting agreements, together with the estimated fair value and balance sheet location of the collateral pledged. The table also presents the incremental collateral that the Company would be required to provide if there was a one notch downgrade in the Company's financial strength rating at the reporting date or if the Company's financial strength rating sustained a downgrade to a level that 55

(2)See Note 4 for discussion of affiliated net derivative gains (losses) included in the table above. 7. Fair Value When developing estimated fair values, the Company considers three broad valuation techniques: (i) the market approach, (ii) the income approach, and (iii) the cost approach. The Company determines the most appropriate valuation technique to use, given what is being measured and the availability of sufficient inputs, giving priority to observable inputs. The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value into a three-level hierarchy, based on the significant input with the lowest level in its valuation. The input levels are as follows: Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company defines active markets based on average trading volume for equity securities. The size of the bid/ask spread is used as an indicator of market activity for fixed maturity securities. Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly. These inputs can include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities other than quoted prices in Level 1, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other significant inputs that are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the determination of estimated fair value of the assets or liabilities. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Financial markets are susceptible to severe events evidenced by rapid depreciation in asset values accompanied by a reduction in asset liquidity. The Company's ability to sell securities, or the price ultimately realized for these securities, depends upon the demand and liquidity in the market and increases the use of judgment in determining the estimated fair value of certain securities. Considerable judgment is often required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value, and the use of different assumptions or valuation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. 57

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 7. Fair Value (continued) The following describes the valuation methodologies used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. The description includes the valuation techniques and key inputs for each category of assets or liabilities that are classified within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Investments Valuation Controls and Procedures On behalf of the Company and MetLife, Inc.'s Chief Investment Officer and Chief Financial Officer, a pricing and valuation committee that is independent of the trading and investing functions and comprised of senior management, provides oversight of control systems and valuation policies for securities, mortgage loans and derivatives. On a quarterly basis, this committee reviews and approves new transaction types and markets, ensures that observable market prices and market-based parameters are used for valuation, wherever possible, and determines that judgmental valuation adjustments, when applied, are based upon established policies and are applied consistently over time. This committee also provides oversight of the selection of independent third party pricing providers and the controls and procedures to evaluate third party pricing. Periodically, the Chief Accounting Officer reports to the Audit Committee of MetLife, Inc.'s Board of Directors regarding compliance with fair value accounting standards. The Company reviews its valuation methodologies on an ongoing basis and revises those methodologies when necessary based on changing market conditions. Assurance is gained on the overall reasonableness and consistent application of input assumptions, valuation methodologies and compliance with fair value accounting standards through controls designed to ensure valuations represent an exit price. Several controls are utilized, including certain monthly controls, which include, but are not limited to, analysis of portfolio returns to corresponding benchmark returns, comparing a sample of executed prices of securities sold to the fair value estimates, comparing fair value estimates to management's knowledge of the current market, reviewing the bid/ask spreads to assess activity, comparing prices from multiple independent pricing services and ongoing due diligence to confirm that independent pricing services use market-based parameters. The process includes a determination of the observability of inputs used in estimated fair values received from independent pricing services or brokers by assessing whether these inputs can be corroborated by observable market data. The Company ensures that prices received from independent brokers, also referred to herein as "consensus pricing," represent a reasonable estimate of fair value by considering such pricing relative to the Company's knowledge of the current market dynamics and current pricing for similar financial instruments. While independent non-binding broker quotations are utilized, they are not used for a significant portion of the portfolio. For example, fixed maturity securities priced using independent non-binding broker quotations represent less than 1% of the total estimated fair value of fixed maturity securities and 2% of the total estimated fair value of Level 3 fixed maturity securities. The Company also applies a formal process to challenge any prices received from independent pricing services that are not considered representative of estimated fair value. If prices received from independent pricing services are not considered reflective of market activity or representative of estimated fair value, independent non-binding broker quotations are obtained, or an internally developed valuation is prepared. Internally developed valuations of current estimated fair value, which reflect internal estimates of liquidity and nonperformance risks, compared with pricing received from the independent pricing services, did not produce material differences in the estimated fair values for the majority of the portfolio; accordingly, overrides were 60

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 7. Fair Value (continued) not material. This is, in part, because internal estimates of liquidity and nonperformance risks are generally based on available market evidence and estimates used by other market participants. In the absence of such market-based evidence, management's best estimate is used. Securities and Short-term Investments When available, the estimated fair value of these financial instruments is based on quoted prices in active markets that are readily and regularly obtainable. Generally, these are the most liquid of the Company's securities holdings and valuation of these securities does not involve management's judgment. When quoted prices in active markets are not available, the determination of estimated fair value is based on market standard valuation methodologies, giving priority to observable inputs. The significant inputs to the market standard valuation methodologies for certain types of securities with reasonable levels of price transparency are inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. When observable inputs are not available, the market standard valuation methodologies rely on inputs that are significant to the estimated fair value that are not observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. These unobservable inputs can be based in large part on management's judgment or estimation and cannot be supported by reference to market activity. Even though these inputs are unobservable, management believes they are consistent with what other market participants would use when pricing such securities and are considered appropriate given the circumstances. Level 2 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs: This level includes securities priced principally by independent pricing services using observable inputs. Short-term investments within this level are of a similar nature and class to the Level 2 fixed maturity securities and equity securities. U.S. corporate and foreign corporate securities These securities are principally valued using the market and income approaches. Valuations are based primarily on quoted prices in markets that are not active, or using matrix pricing or other similar techniques that use standard market observable inputs such as benchmark yields, spreads off benchmark yields, new issuances, issuer rating, duration, and trades of identical or comparable securities. Privately-placed securities are valued using matrix pricing methodologies using standard market observable inputs, and inputs derived from, or corroborated by, market observable data including market yield curve, duration, call provisions, observable prices and spreads for similar publicly traded or privately traded issues that incorporate the credit quality and industry sector of the issuer, and in certain cases, delta spread adjustments to reflect specific credit-related issues. U.S. Treasury and agency securities These securities are principally valued using the market approach. Valuations are based primarily on quoted prices in markets that are not active, or using matrix pricing or other similar techniques using standard market observable inputs such as a benchmark U.S. Treasury yield curve, the spread off the U.S. Treasury yield curve for the identical security and comparable securities that are actively traded. 61

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 7. Fair Value (continued) Structured securities comprised of RMBS, CMBS and ABS These securities are principally valued using the market and income approaches. Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing, discounted cash flow methodologies or other similar techniques using standard market inputs, including spreads for actively traded securities, spreads off benchmark yields, expected prepayment speeds and volumes, current and forecasted loss severity, rating, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, average delinquency rates, geographic region, debt-service coverage ratios and issuance-specific information, including, but not limited to: collateral type, payment terms of the underlying assets, payment priority within the tranche, structure of the security, deal performance and vintage of loans. State and political subdivision and foreign government securities These securities are principally valued using the market approach. Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing or other similar techniques using standard market observable inputs, including a benchmark U.S. Treasury yield or other yields, issuer ratings, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads and reported trades of similar securities, including those within the same sub-sector or with a similar maturity or credit rating. Common stock These securities are principally valued using the market approach. Valuations are based principally on observable inputs, including quoted prices in markets that are not considered active. Level 3 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs: In general, securities classified within Level 3 use many of the same valuation techniques and inputs as described previously for Level 2. However, if key inputs are unobservable, or if the investments are less liquid and there is very limited trading activity, the investments are generally classified as Level 3. The use of independent non-binding broker quotations to value investments generally indicates there is a lack of liquidity or a lack of transparency in the process to develop the valuation estimates, generally causing these investments to be classified in Level 3. U.S. corporate and foreign corporate securities These securities, including financial services industry hybrid securities classified within fixed maturity securities, are principally valued using the market approach. Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing or other similar techniques that utilize unobservable inputs or inputs that cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data, including illiquidity premium, delta spread adjustments to reflect specific credit-related issues, credit spreads; and inputs including quoted prices for identical or similar securities that are less liquid and based on lower levels of trading activity than securities classified in Level 2. Certain valuations are based on independent non-binding broker quotations. Structured securities comprised of RMBS, CMBS and ABS These securities are principally valued using the market and income approaches. Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing, discounted cash flow methodologies or other similar techniques that utilize 62

Below investment grade securities and sub-prime RMBS included in this level are valued based on inputs including quoted prices for identical or similar securities that are less liquid and based on lower levels of trading activity than securities classified in Level 2. Certain of these valuations are based on independent non-binding broker quotations. Non-redeemable preferred stock These securities, including financial services industry hybrid securities classified within equity securities, are principally valued using the market and income approaches. Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing, discounted cash flow methodologies or other similar techniques using inputs such as comparable credit rating and issuance structure. Certain of these securities are valued based on inputs including quoted prices for identical or similar securities that are less liquid and based on lower levels of trading activity than securities classified in Level 2 and independent non-binding broker quotations. Separate Account Assets Separate account assets are carried at estimated fair value and reported as a summarized total on the balance sheets. The estimated fair value of separate account assets is based on the estimated fair value of the underlying assets. Separate account assets within the Company's separate accounts consist of mutual funds. Level 2 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs: These assets are comprised of certain mutual funds without readily determinable fair values, as prices are not published publicly. Valuation of the mutual funds is based upon quoted prices or reported NAV provided by the fund managers. Derivatives The estimated fair value of derivatives is determined through the use of quoted market prices for exchange-traded derivatives or through the use of pricing models for OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives. The determination of estimated fair value, when quoted market values are not available, is based on market standard valuation methodologies and inputs that management believes are consistent with what other market participants would use when pricing such instruments. Derivative valuations can be affected by changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, financial indices, credit spreads, default risk, nonperformance risk, volatility, liquidity and changes in estimates and assumptions used in the pricing models. The valuation controls and procedures for derivatives are described in "-- Investments." The significant inputs to the pricing models for most OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives are inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Significant inputs that are observable generally include: interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rate curves, credit curves and volatility. However, certain OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives may rely on inputs that are significant to the estimated fair value that are not observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Significant inputs that are unobservable generally include references to emerging market currencies and inputs that are outside the observable portion of 63

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 7. Fair Value (continued) the interest rate curve, credit curve, volatility or other relevant market measure. These unobservable inputs may involve significant management judgment or estimation. Even though unobservable, these inputs are based on assumptions deemed appropriate given the circumstances and management believes they are consistent with what other market participants would use when pricing such instruments. Most inputs for OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives are mid-market inputs but, in certain cases, liquidity adjustments are made when they are deemed more representative of exit value. Market liquidity, as well as the use of different methodologies, assumptions and inputs, may have a material effect on the estimated fair values of the Company's derivatives and could materially affect net income. The credit risk of both the counterparty and the Company are considered in determining the estimated fair value for all OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives, and any potential credit adjustment is based on the net exposure by counterparty after taking into account the effects of netting agreements and collateral arrangements. The Company values its OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives using standard swap curves which may include a spread to the risk free rate, depending upon specific collateral arrangements. This credit spread is appropriate for those parties that execute trades at pricing levels consistent with similar collateral arrangements. As the Company and its significant derivative counterparties generally execute trades at such pricing levels and hold sufficient collateral, additional credit risk adjustments are not currently required in the valuation process. The Company's ability to consistently execute at such pricing levels is in part due to the netting agreements and collateral arrangements that are in place with all of its significant derivative counterparties. An evaluation of the requirement to make additional credit risk adjustments is performed by the Company each reporting period. Freestanding Derivatives Level 2 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs: This level includes all types of derivatives utilized by the Company with the exception of exchange traded derivatives included within Level 1 and those derivatives with unobservable inputs as described in Level 3. These derivatives are principally valued using the income approach. Interest rate Non-option-based. Valuations are based on present value techniques, which utilize significant inputs that may include the swap yield curve and basis curves. Option-based. Valuations are based on option pricing models, which utilize significant inputs that may include the swap yield curve, basis curves and interest rate volatility. Foreign currency exchange rate Non-option-based. Valuations are based on present value techniques, which utilize significant inputs that may include the swap yield curve, basis curves, currency spot rates and cross currency basis curves. Embedded Derivatives Embedded derivatives principally include certain direct variable annuity guarantees and certain affiliated ceded reinsurance agreements related to such variable annuity guarantees. Embedded derivatives are recorded at estimated fair value with changes in estimated fair value reported in net income. 64

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 7. Fair Value (continued) The Company issues certain variable annuity products with guaranteed minimum benefits. GMWBs, GMABs and certain GMIBs contain embedded derivatives, which are measured at estimated fair value separately from the host variable annuity contract, with changes in estimated fair value reported in net derivative gains (losses). These embedded derivatives are classified within PABs in the balance sheets. The fair value of these embedded derivatives, estimated as the present value of projected future benefits minus the present value of projected future fees using actuarial and capital market assumptions including expectations concerning policyholder behavior, is calculated by the Company's actuarial department. The calculation is based on in-force business, and is performed using standard actuarial valuation software which projects future cash flows from the embedded derivative over multiple risk neutral stochastic scenarios using observable risk free rates. Capital market assumptions, such as risk free rates and implied volatilities, are based on market prices for publicly traded instruments to the extent that prices for such instruments are observable. Implied volatilities beyond the observable period are extrapolated based on observable implied volatilities and historical volatilities. Actuarial assumptions, including mortality, lapse, withdrawal and utilization, are unobservable and are reviewed at least annually based on actuarial studies of historical experience. The valuation of these guarantee liabilities includes nonperformance risk adjustments and adjustments for a risk margin related to non-capital market inputs. The nonperformance adjustment is determined by taking into consideration publicly available information relating to spreads in the secondary market for MetLife's debt, including related credit default swaps. These observable spreads are then adjusted, as necessary, to reflect the priority of these liabilities and the claims paying ability of the issuing insurance subsidiaries compared to MetLife. Risk margins are established to capture the non-capital market risks of the instrument which represent the additional compensation a market participant would require to assume the risks related to the uncertainties of such actuarial assumptions as annuitization, premium persistency, partial withdrawal and surrenders. The establishment of risk margins requires the use of significant management judgment, including assumptions of the amount and cost of capital needed to cover the guarantees. These guarantees may be more costly than expected in volatile or declining equity markets. Market conditions including, but not limited to, changes in interest rates, equity indices, market volatility and foreign currency exchange rates; changes in nonperformance risk; and variations in actuarial assumptions regarding policyholder behavior, mortality and risk margins related to non-capital market inputs, may result in significant fluctuations in the estimated fair value of the guarantees that could materially affect net income. The Company ceded, to an affiliated reinsurance company, the risk associated with certain of the GMIBs, GMABs and GMWBs described above that are also accounted for as embedded derivatives. In addition to ceding risks associated with guarantees that are accounted for as embedded derivatives, the Company also cedes, to the same affiliated reinsurance company, certain directly written GMIBs that are accounted for as insurance (i.e., not as embedded derivatives), but where the reinsurance agreement contains an embedded derivative. These embedded derivatives are included within premiums, reinsurance and other receivables in the balance sheets with changes in estimated fair value reported in net derivative gains (losses). The value of the embedded derivatives on the ceded risk is determined using a methodology consistent with that described previously for the guarantees directly written by the Company with the exception of the input for nonperformance risk that reflects the credit of the reinsurer. 65

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 7. Fair Value (continued) Embedded Derivatives Within Asset and Liability Host Contracts Level 3 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs: Direct guaranteed minimum benefits These embedded derivatives are principally valued using the income approach. Valuations are based on option pricing techniques, which utilize significant inputs that may include swap yield curve, currency exchange rates and implied volatilities. These embedded derivatives result in Level 3 classification because one or more of the significant inputs are not observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Significant unobservable inputs generally include: the extrapolation beyond observable limits of the swap yield curve and implied volatilities, actuarial assumptions for policyholder behavior and mortality and the potential variability in policyholder behavior and mortality, nonperformance risk and cost of capital for purposes of calculating the risk margin. Reinsurance ceded on certain guaranteed minimum benefits These embedded derivatives are principally valued using the income approach. The valuation techniques and significant market standard unobservable inputs used in their valuation are similar to those described above in "-- Direct Guaranteed Minimum Benefits" and also include counterparty credit spreads. Transfers between Levels Overall, transfers between levels occur when there are changes in the observability of inputs and market activity. Transfers into or out of any level are assumed to occur at the beginning of the period. Transfers between Levels 1 and 2: There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 for assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value and still held at December 31, 2013 and 2012. Transfers into or out of Level 3: Assets and liabilities are transferred into Level 3 when a significant input cannot be corroborated with market observable data. This occurs when market activity decreases significantly and underlying inputs cannot be observed, current prices are not available, and/or when there are significant variances in quoted prices, thereby affecting transparency. Assets and liabilities are transferred out of Level 3 when circumstances change such that a significant input can be corroborated with market observable data. This may be due to a significant increase in market activity, a specific event, or one or more significant input(s) becoming observable. Transfers into Level 3 for fixed maturity securities were due primarily to a lack of trading activity, decreased liquidity and credit ratings downgrades (e.g., from investment grade to below investment grade) which have resulted in decreased transparency of valuations and an increased use of independent non-binding broker quotations and unobservable inputs, such as illiquidity premiums, delta spread adjustments, or credit spreads. 66

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 7. Fair Value (continued) Transfers out of Level 3 for fixed maturity securities resulted primarily from increased transparency of both new issuances that, subsequent to issuance and establishment of trading activity, became priced by independent pricing services and existing issuances that, over time, the Company was able to obtain pricing from, or corroborate pricing received from, independent pricing services with observable inputs (such as observable spreads used in pricing securities) or increases in market activity and upgraded credit ratings. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) The following table presents certain quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, and the sensitivity of the estimated fair value to changes in those inputs, for the more significant asset and liability classes measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) at: [Enlarge/Download Table] December 31, 2013 --------------------- -------------------------- -------------------------- Valuation Significant Weighted Techniques Unobservable Inputs Range Average (1) --------------------- -------------------------- ------------- ----------- Fixed maturity securities: (3) U.S. corporate and Matrix pricing Delta spread foreign corporate... adjustments (4) (10) - 30 6 Illiquidity premium (4) 30 - 30 30 Credit spreads (4) Consensus pricing Offered quotes (5) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RMBS Matrix pricing and Credit spreads (4) discounted cash flow 97 - 574 411 Market pricing Quoted prices (5) 100 - 100 100 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CMBS Market pricing Quoted prices (5) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ABS Market pricing Quoted prices (5) 99 - 99 99 Consensus pricing Offered quotes (5) 99 - 99 99 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded derivatives: Direct and ceded Option pricing Mortality rates: guaranteed techniques minimum benefits............

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 7. Fair Value (continued) (3)Significant increases (decreases) in expected default rates in isolation would result in substantially lower (higher) valuations. (4)Range and weighted average are presented in basis points. (5)Range and weighted average are presented in accordance with the market convention for fixed maturity securities of dollars per hundred dollars of par. (6)Changes in the assumptions used for the probability of default is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumptions used for prepayment rates. (7)Mortality rates vary by age and by demographic characteristics such as gender. Mortality rate assumptions are based on company experience. A mortality improvement assumption is also applied. For any given contract, mortality rates vary throughout the period over which cash flows are projected for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative. (8)Base lapse rates are adjusted at the contract level based on a comparison of the actuarially calculated guaranteed values and the current policyholder account value, as well as other factors, such as the applicability of any surrender charges. A dynamic lapse function reduces the base lapse rate when the guaranteed amount is greater than the account value as in the money contracts are less likely to lapse. Lapse rates are also generally assumed to be lower in periods when a surrender charge applies. For any given contract, lapse rates vary throughout the period over which cash flows are projected for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative. (9)The utilization rate assumption estimates the percentage of contract holders with a GMIB or lifetime withdrawal benefit who will elect to utilize the benefit upon becoming eligible. The rates may vary by the type of guarantee, the amount by which the guaranteed amount is greater than the account value, the contract's withdrawal history and by the age of the policyholder. For any given contract, utilization rates vary throughout the period over which cash flows are projected for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative. (10)The withdrawal rate represents the percentage of account balance that any given policyholder will elect to withdraw from the contract each year. The withdrawal rate assumption varies by age and duration of the contract, and also by other factors such as benefit type. For any given contract, withdrawal rates vary throughout the period over which cash flows are projected for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative. For GMWBs, any increase (decrease) in withdrawal rates results in an increase (decrease) in the estimated fair value of the guarantees. For GMABs and GMIBs, any increase (decrease) in withdrawal rates results in a decrease (increase) in the estimated fair value. (11)Long-term equity volatilities represent equity volatility beyond the period for which observable equity volatilities are available. For any given contract, long-term equity volatility rates vary throughout the period over which cash flows are projected for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative. (12)Nonperformance risk spread varies by duration and by currency. For any given contract, multiple nonperformance risk spreads will apply, depending on the duration of the cash flow being discounted for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative. 68

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 7. Fair Value (continued) The following is a summary of the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities classified within Level 3 that are not included in the preceding table. Generally, all other classes of securities classified within Level 3 use the same valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs as previously described for Level 3 securities. This includes matrix pricing and discounted cash flow methodologies, inputs such as quoted prices for identical or similar securities that are less liquid and based on lower levels of trading activity than securities classified in Level 2, as well as independent non-binding broker quotations. The sensitivity of the estimated fair value to changes in the significant unobservable inputs for these other assets and liabilities is similar in nature to that described in the preceding table.

Policy Loans Policy loans with fixed interest rates are classified within Level 3. The estimated fair values for these loans are determined using a discounted cash flow model applied to groups of similar policy loans determined by the nature of the underlying insurance liabilities. Cash flow estimates are developed by applying a weighted-average interest rate to the outstanding principal balance of the respective group of policy loans and an estimated average maturity determined through experience studies of the past performance of policyholder repayment behavior for similar loans. These cash flows are discounted using current risk-free interest rates with no adjustment for borrower credit risk as these loans are fully collateralized by the cash surrender value of the underlying insurance policy. Policy loans with variable interest rates are classified within Level 2 and the estimated fair value approximates carrying value due to the absence of borrower credit risk and the short time period between interest rate resets, which presents minimal risk of a material change in estimated fair value due to changes in market interest rates. Other Limited Partnership Interests The estimated fair values of these cost method investments are generally based on the Company's share of the NAV as provided in the financial statements of the investees. In certain circumstances, management may adjust the NAV by a premium or discount when it has sufficient evidence to support applying such adjustments. 72

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 7. Fair Value (continued) Other Invested Assets These other invested assets are principally comprised of loans to affiliates. The estimated fair value of loans to affiliates is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using market interest rates currently available for instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities. Premiums, Reinsurance and Other Receivables Premiums, reinsurance and other receivables are principally comprised of certain amounts recoverable under reinsurance agreements. Amounts recoverable under ceded reinsurance agreements, which the Company has determined do not transfer significant risk such that they are accounted for using the deposit method of accounting, have been classified as Level 3. The valuation is based on discounted cash flow methodologies using significant unobservable inputs. The estimated fair value is determined using interest rates determined to reflect the appropriate credit standing of the assuming counterparty. Other Assets Other assets are comprised of a receivable for the reimbursable portion of the estimated future guaranty liability that pertains to pre-acquisition business. With the exception of the receivable, other assets are not considered financial instruments subject to disclosure. Accordingly, the amount represents the receivable from an unaffiliated institution for which the estimated fair value was determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using a discount rate that reflects the credit standing of the unaffiliated institution. PABs These PABs include investment contracts. Embedded derivatives on investment contracts and certain variable annuity guarantees accounted for as embedded derivatives are excluded from this caption in the preceding tables as they are separately presented in "-- Recurring Fair Value Measurements." The investment contracts primarily include fixed deferred annuities and fixed term payout annuities. The valuation of these investment contracts is based on discounted cash flow methodologies using significant unobservable inputs. The estimated fair value is determined using current market risk-free interest rates adding a spread to reflect the nonperformance risk in the liability. Other Liabilities Other liabilities consist of derivative payables and amounts due for securities purchased but not yet settled. The Company evaluates the specific terms, facts and circumstances of each instrument to determine the appropriate estimated fair values, which are not materially different from the carrying values. 73

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 8. Equity Statutory Equity and Income Each U.S. insurance company's state of domicile imposes risk-based capital ("RBC") requirements that were developed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC"). Regulatory compliance is determined by a ratio of a company's total adjusted capital, calculated in the manner prescribed by the NAIC ("TAC") to its authorized control level RBC, calculated in the manner prescribed by the NAIC ("ACL RBC"). Companies below specific trigger points or ratios are classified within certain levels, each of which requires specified corrective action. The minimum level of TAC before corrective action commences is twice ACL RBC ("Company Action RBC"). The RBC ratio for the Company was in excess of 1,400% for all periods presented. The Company prepares statutory-basis financial statements in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the insurance department of its state of domicile. The NAIC has adopted the Codification of Statutory Accounting Principles ("Statutory Codification"). Statutory Codification is 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 state insurance departments may impact the effect of Statutory Codification on the statutory capital and surplus of the Company. 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 of reinsurance agreements and valuing securities on a different basis. In addition, certain assets are not admitted under statutory accounting principles and are charged directly to surplus. The most significant assets not admitted by the Company are net deferred income tax assets resulting from temporary differences between statutory accounting principles basis and tax basis not expected to reverse and become recoverable within three years. Statutory net income (loss) of the Company, a Missouri domiciled insurer, was $111 million, $132 million and $94 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Statutory capital and surplus was $666 million and $704 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. All such amounts are derived from the statutory-basis financial statements as filed with the Missouri State Department of Insurance. Dividend Restrictions Under Missouri State Insurance Law, MLIIC is permitted, without prior insurance regulatory clearance, to pay a stockholder dividend to MetLife as long as the amount of the dividend when aggregated with all other dividends in the preceding 12 months does not exceed the greater 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 net realized capital gains). MLIIC will be permitted to pay a dividend to MetLife in excess of the greater of such two amounts only if it files notice of the declaration of such a dividend and the amount thereof with the Missouri Director of Insurance (the "Missouri Director") and the Missouri Director either approves the distribution of the dividend or does not disapprove the distribution within 30 days of its filing. In addition, any dividend that exceeds earned surplus (defined by the Company as "unassigned funds (surplus)") as of the last filed annual statutory statement requires insurance regulatory approval. Under Missouri State Insurance Law, the Missouri Director has broad discretion in determining 74

Income Tax (continued) Tax credit carryforwards of $5 million at December 31, 2013 will expire beginning in 2021. The Company participates in a tax sharing agreement with MetLife, as described in Note 1. Pursuant to this tax sharing agreement, the amounts due from affiliates include $18 million and $8 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The amounts due to affiliates include $8 million at December 31, 2011. The Company files income tax returns with the U.S. federal government and various state and local jurisdictions. 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. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations in major taxing jurisdictions for years prior to 2006. The IRS audit cycle for the year 2006, which began in April 2010, is expected to conclude in 2014. It is not expected that there will be a material change in the Company's liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits was as follows: [Enlarge/Download Table] Year Ended December 31, 2013 ----------------- (In millions) Balance at January 1,......................................................... $ -- Additions for tax positions of prior years.................................... 3 -------- Balance at December 31,....................................................... $ 3 ======== Unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized would impact the effective rate. $ 3 ======== There were no unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2012 and 2011.

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 10. Income Tax (continued) There was no interest recognized in the statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. There was no interest included in other liabilities in the balance sheets at December 31, 2012. The Company had no penalties for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. The U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS have indicated that they intend to address through regulations the methodology to be followed in determining the dividends received deduction ("DRD"), related to variable life insurance and annuity contracts. The DRD reduces the amount of dividend income subject to tax and is a significant component of the difference between the actual tax expense and expected amount determined using the federal statutory tax rate of 35%. Any regulations that the IRS ultimately proposes for issuance in this area will be subject to public notice and comment, at which time insurance companies and other interested parties will have the opportunity to raise legal and practical questions about the content, scope and application of such regulations. As a result, the ultimate timing and substance of any such regulations are unknown at this time. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $14 million and $8 million, respectively, related to the separate account DRD. The 2013 benefit included a benefit of $2 million related to a true-up of the 2012 tax return. The 2012 benefit included an expense of $3 million related to a true-up of the 2011 tax return. 11. Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees Contingencies Litigation Unclaimed Property Inquiries In April 2012, MetLife, for itself and on behalf of entities including the Company, reached agreements with representatives of the U.S. jurisdictions that were conducting audits of MetLife and certain of its affiliates for compliance with unclaimed property laws, and with state insurance regulators directly involved in a multistate targeted market conduct examination relating to claim-payment practices and compliance with unclaimed property laws. At least one other jurisdiction is pursuing a market conduct examination. It is possible that other jurisdictions may pursue similar examinations or audits and that such actions may result in additional payments to beneficiaries, additional escheatment of funds deemed abandoned under state laws, administrative penalties, interest, and/or further changes to the Company's procedures. The Company is not currently able to estimate these additional possible costs. Sales Practices Claims Over the past several years, the Company has faced claims and regulatory inquiries and investigations, alleging improper marketing or sales of individual life insurance policies, annuities, mutual funds or other products. The Company continues to vigorously defend against the claims in these matters. The Company believes adequate provision has been made in its financial statements for all probable and reasonably estimable losses for sales practices matters. 79

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 11. Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees (continued) Summary Various litigation, claims and assessments against the Company, 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. In some of the matters, 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 effect upon the Company's financial position, based on information currently known by the Company's management, in its opinion, the outcomes of such pending 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 effect on the Company's net income or cash flows in particular annual periods. Insolvency Assessments Most of the jurisdictions in which the Company is admitted to transact business require 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 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 were as follows: [Download Table] December 31, --------------- 2013 2012 ------- ------- (In millions) Other Assets: Premium tax offset for future undiscounted assessments. $ 1 $ 1 Receivable for reimbursement of paid assessments (1)... 5 6 ------- ------- $ 6 $ 7 ======= ======= Other Liabilities: Insolvency assessments................................. $ 6 $ 8 ======= ======= -------- (1)The Company holds a receivable from the seller of a prior acquisition in accordance with the purchase agreement. 80

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 11. Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees (continued) Commitments 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 $7 million and $9 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, 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 $6 million and $1 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Commitments to Fund Private Corporate Bond Investments The Company commits to lend funds under private corporate bond investments. The amounts of these unfunded commitments were $14 million and $13 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Guarantees In the normal course of its business, the Company has provided certain indemnities, guarantees and commitments to third parties such that 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, 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. Management believes that it is unlikely the Company will have to make any material payments under these indemnities, guarantees, or commitments. 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. The Company had no liability for indemnities, guarantees and commitments at both December 31, 2013 and 2012. 81

MetLife Investors Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued) 12. Related Party Transactions Service Agreements The Company has entered into various agreements with affiliates for services necessary to conduct its activities. Typical services provided under these agreements include management, policy administrative functions, personnel, investment advice and distribution services. For certain agreements, charges are based on various performance measures or activity-based costing. The bases for such charges are modified and adjusted by management when necessary or appropriate to reflect fairly and equitably the actual incidence of cost incurred by the Company and/or affiliate. Expenses incurred with affiliates related to these agreements, recorded in other expenses, were $78 million, $53 million and $76 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Revenues received from affiliates related to these agreements, recorded in universal life and investment-type product policy fees, were $38 million, $34 million and $32 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Revenues received from affiliates related to these agreements, recorded in fees on ceded reinsurance and other, were $25 million, $24 million and $26 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company had net receivables from affiliates, related to the items discussed above, of $4 million and $2 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. See Notes 4 and 5 for additional information on related party transactions. 13. Subsequent Event The Company has evaluated events subsequent to December 31, 2013, through March 31, 2014, which is the date these financial statements were available to be issued, and has determined there are no material subsequent events requiring adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements. 82

EXETER REASSURANCE COMPANY, LTD. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012 AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013, 2012 AND 2011 (AS RESTATED) AND INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
N-4648th Page of 733TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 648th
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of Exeter Reassurance Company, Ltd.: We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Exeter Reassurance Company, Ltd. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) (the "Company"), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholder's equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, and the related notes to the financial statements. MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. AUDITORS' RESPONSIBILITY Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design 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. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. OPINION In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Exeter Reassurance Company, Ltd. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. EMPHASIS OF MATTER As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the accompanying financial statements have been restated to correct misstatements on the 2013, 2012 and 2011 statements of cash flows. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. OTHER MATTERS In our report dated April 2, 2014 on the previously issued 2012 financial statements filed with the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority ("CIMA"), we expressed an opinion that the Company's 2012 balance sheet did not fairly present insurance liabilities and, accordingly, did not conform to the presentation required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. That presentation was based on practices prescribed or permitted by CIMA. As noted in Note 1, in these general purpose financial statements, the Company has changed its presentation of insurance liabilities to conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, our present opinion on the 2012 financial statements, as presented herein, is different from that expressed in our previous report. In addition, results of the Company may not be indicative of those of a stand-alone entity, as the Company is a member of a controlled group of affiliated companies. /s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP Certified Public Accountants Princeton, New Jersey April 2, 2014 (October 27, 2014 as to Note 1 related to the restatements and November 7, 2014 as to Note 14) F-1

EXETER REASSURANCE COMPANY, LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BUSINESS Exeter Reassurance Company, Ltd. (the "Company" or "Exeter") is a wholly-owned stock life insurance subsidiary of MetLife, Inc. (the "Holding Company"). In 2011, the Company was redomesticated to the Cayman Islands. The Company was licensed as an Unrestricted Class B Insurer under the Insurance Law of the Cayman Islands (the "Law"). Effective October 1, 2013, the Company redomesticated to the state of Delaware ("Delaware"). The Company is licensed as a Delaware pure captive insurance company under the Delaware Captive Insurance Law ("Delaware Law"). The Company engages in traditional and financial reinsurance of life insurance and annuity policies, primarily with affiliates. In the second quarter of 2013, the Holding Company announced its plans to merge three U.S.-based life insurance companies and an offshore reinsurance subsidiary to create one larger U.S.-based and U.S.-regulated life insurance company (the "Mergers"). The companies to be merged consist of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut ("MICC"), MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company ("MLI-USA") and MetLife Investors Insurance Company ("MLIIC"), each a U.S. insurance company that issues variable annuity products in addition to other products, and Exeter. MICC, which is expected to be renamed and domiciled in Delaware, will be the surviving entity. The Mergers are expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2014, subject to regulatory approvals. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The Company has previously prepared, and filed, financial statements that comply with the filing requirements of the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority ("CIMA"). The financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 presented insurance liabilities in the balance sheet in accordance with practices prescribed or permitted by CIMA, which presentation differs from the presentation requirements under generally accepted accounting principles. The presentation of insurance liabilities in these financial statements has been revised to present such amounts in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 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 financial statements. In applying these policies and estimates, management makes subjective and complex judgments that frequently require assumptions 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 business and operations. Actual results could differ from estimates. Since the Company is a member of a controlled group of affiliated companies, its results may not be indicative of those of a stand-alone entity. F-7

BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) RESTATEMENTS The Company identified the following errors relating to the 2013, 2012 and 2011 statements of cash flows: . Net cash provided by operating activities was overstated and net cash used in investing activities was understated in 2012, as a result of errors relating to the non-cash component of the consideration received for the transfer of business to the Company from an affiliate. . The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents were incorrectly reported in 2013, 2012 and 2011, resulting in offsetting impacts on net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used in investing activities. . Certain transactions relating to fees on embedded derivatives were incorrectly reported in the cash flow statement in 2013, 2012 and 2011 including: (a) cash transactions incorrectly reported in (gains) losses on derivatives, net, resulting in impacts to both net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used in investing activities: and (b) non-cash transactions incorrectly reported in cash flows from investing activities in other, net, resulting in impacts to net cash used in investing activities. .

EXETER REASSURANCE COMPANY, LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 1. BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The following are the Company's significant accounting policies with references to notes providing additional information on such policies and critical accounting estimates relating to such policies. [Download Table] -------------------------------------- ACCOUNTING POLICY NOTE -------------------------------------- Deferred Policy Acquistion Costs 2 -------------------------------------- Reserves 3 -------------------------------------- Reinsurance 4 -------------------------------------- Investments 5 -------------------------------------- Derivatives 6 -------------------------------------- Fair Value 7 -------------------------------------- Income Tax 11 -------------------------------------- Litigation Contingencies 12 -------------------------------------- FUTURE POLICYHOLDER BENEFITS, POLICYHOLDER ACCOUNT BALANCES AND OTHER POLICY-RELATED BALANCES The Company establishes liabilities for insurance policies assumed by the Company. 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, investment returns, inflation, expenses and other contingent events as appropriate to the respective product type. For long duration insurance contracts, assumptions such as mortality and interest rates are "locked in" upon the issuance of new business. However, significant adverse changes in experience on such contracts may require the establishment of premium deficiency reserves. Such reserves are determined based on the then current assumptions and do not include a provision for adverse deviation. Liabilities for assumed universal secondary 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 assumptions used in estimating the secondary liabilities are consistent with those used for amortizing deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC"), and are thus subject to the same variability and risk as further discussed herein. The assumptions of investment performance and volatility for variable products are consistent with historical experience of appropriate underlying equity indices, such as the Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("S&P") 500 Index. The benefits used in calculating the liabilities assumed are based on the average benefits payable over a range of scenarios. The assumed unearned revenue liability included in other policy-related balances relates to universal life-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, similar to DAC as discussed further herein. Such amortization is recorded in universal life and investment-type product policy fees. The Company regularly reviews its estimates of liabilities for future policy benefits and compares them with its actual experience. Differences result in changes to the liability balances with related charges or credits to benefit expenses in the period in which the changes occur. F-10

BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) The Company assumed and ceded guaranteed minimum benefits associated with certain variable annuity product risks that provide the policyholder a minimum return based on their initial deposit (i.e., the benefit base) less withdrawals. These guarantees are accounted for as insurance liabilities or as embedded derivatives depending on how and when the benefit is paid. Specifically, a guarantee is accounted for as an embedded derivative if a guarantee is paid without requiring (i) the occurrence of specific insurable event, or (ii) the policyholder to annuitize. Alternatively, a guarantee is accounted for as an insurance liability if the guarantee is paid only upon either (i) the occurrence of a specific insurable event, or (ii) annuitization. In certain cases, a guarantee may have elements of both an insurance liability and an embedded derivative and in such cases the guarantee is split and accounted for under both models. Guarantees assumed are accounted for as insurance liabilities in future policy benefits include guaranteed minimum death benefits ("GMDB"), the portion of guaranteed minimum income benefits ("GMIB") that require annuitization, and the life-contingent portion of guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits ("GMWB"). Guarantees assumed are accounted for as embedded derivatives in policyholder account balances include the non life-contingent portion of GMWB, guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits ("GMAB") and the portion of GMIB that do not require annuitization. At inception, the Company attributes to the embedded derivative a portion of the projected future guarantee fees to be collected from the policyholder equal to the present value of projected future guaranteed benefits. Any additional fees represent "excess" fees and are reported in universal life and investment-type product policy fees. Other policy-related balances include policy and contract claims and policyholder dividends due and unpaid. The liability for policy and contract claims generally relates to incurred but not reported death claims, as well as claims which have been reported but not yet settled. DIVIDEND LIABILITY The terminal dividend liability for assumed participating traditional life insurance policies is equal to the liability for dividends paid to policyholders upon termination and after satisfying minimum period in-force requirements. RECOGNITION OF INSURANCE REVENUE AND RELATED BENEFITS Premiums related to assumed traditional life and variable annuity business are recognized as revenues when due. 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 the business assumed. DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS The Company reimburses the direct writer of the reinsured agreements for significant costs in connection with acquiring new and renewal reinsurance business. Costs that are related directly to the successful acquisition or renewal of reinsurance agreements are capitalized as DAC. Such costs primarily include: . incremental direct costs of contract acquisition, such as commissions; F-11

EXETER REASSURANCE COMPANY, LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 1. BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) . other essential direct costs that would not have been incurred had a policy not been acquired or renewed. All other acquisition-related costs, as well as all indirect costs, are expensed as incurred. DAC is amortized as follows: Products reinsured: In proportion to the following over estimated lives of the reinsurance agreements: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- . Participating, dividend-paying Actual and expected future gross traditional contracts margins. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- . Variable universal life contracts Actual and expected future gross . Variable deferred annuity contracts profits. See Note 2 for additional information on DAC amortization. The recovery of DAC is dependent upon the future profitability of the related business. REINSURANCE AGREEMENTS For each of its reinsurance agreements, the Company determines whether the agreement provides indemnification against loss or liability relating to insurance risk in accordance with applicable accounting standards. Cessions under reinsurance agreements do not discharge the Company's obligations as a reinsurer. The Company reviews all contractual features, particularly those that may limit the amount of insurance risk to which the Company 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 reinsurance agreement. The net cost of reinsurance is recorded as an adjustment to DAC when there is a gain at inception on the ceding entity and to other liabilities when there is a loss at inception. The net cost of reinsurance is recognized as a component of other expenses when there is a gain at inception and as policyholder benefits and claims when there is a loss and is subsequently amortized on a basis consistent with the methodology used for amortizing DAC related to the underlying reinsured contracts. 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. Amounts currently recoverable under reinsurance agreements are included in premiums, reinsurance and other receivables and amounts currently payable are included in other liabilities and other policy-related balances. Assets and liabilities relating to reinsurance agreements with the same reinsurer may be recorded net on the balance sheet, if a right of offset exists within the reinsurance agreement. In the event that reinsurers do not meet their obligations to the Company under the terms of the reinsurance agreements, reinsurance recoverable balances could become uncollectible. In such instances, reinsurance recoverable balances are stated net of allowances for uncollectible reinsurance. F-12

EXETER REASSURANCE COMPANY, LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 1. BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Premiums, fees and policyholder benefits and claims include amounts assumed under reinsurance agreements and are net of reinsurance ceded. Amounts received from reinsurers for policy administration are reported in other revenues. Certain assumed GMWB, GMAB and GMIB are accounted for as embedded derivatives with changes in estimated fair value reported in net derivative gains (losses). If the Company determines that a reinsurance agreement does not expose the reinsurer to a reasonable possibility of a significant loss from insurance risk, the Company records the agreement using the deposit method of accounting. Deposits received are included in other liabilities and deposits made are included within premiums, reinsurance and other receivables. 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 revenues 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 revenues or other expenses, as appropriate. INVESTMENTS NET INVESTMENT INCOME Income on investments is reported within net investment income, unless otherwise stated herein. FIXED MATURITY SECURITIES The Company's fixed maturity securities are classified as available-for-sale ("AFS") 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 (loss) ("OCI"), 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 are determined on a specific identification basis. Interest income on fixed maturity securities is recognized when earned using an effective yield method giving effect to amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Prepayment fees are recognized when earned. The Company periodically evaluates fixed maturity securities for impairment. The assessment of whether impairments have occurred is based on management's case-by-case evaluation of the underlying reasons for the decline in estimated fair value and an analysis of the gross unrealized losses by severity and/or age. The analysis of gross unrealized losses is described further in Note 5 "--Evaluation of AFS Securities for OTTI and Evaluating Temporarily Impaired AFS Securities." For fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position, an other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") is recognized in earnings when it is anticipated that the amortized cost will not be recovered. When either: (i) the Company has the intent to sell the security; or (ii) it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery, the OTTI recognized in earnings is the entire difference between the security's amortized cost and estimated fair value. If neither of these conditions exist, the difference between the amortized cost of the security and the present value of projected future cash flows expected to be collected is recognized as an OTTI in earnings ("credit loss"). If the estimated fair value is less than the present value of projected future cash flows expected to be collected, this portion of OTTI related to other-than-credit factors ("noncredit loss") is recorded in OCI. Adjustments are not made for subsequent recoveries in value. F-13

EXETER REASSURANCE COMPANY, LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 1. BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS Short-term investments include securities and other investments with remaining maturities of one year or less, but greater than three months, at the time of purchase and are stated at the estimated fair value or amortized cost, which approximates estimated fair value. DERIVATIVE ASSETS Derivative assets consist principally of freestanding derivatives with positive estimated fair values and are described in " -- Derivatives" below. FUNDS WITHHELD AT INTEREST Funds withheld at interest represent amounts contractually withheld by ceding companies in accordance with reinsurance agreements. The Company records a funds withheld asset rather than the underlying investments. The Company recognizes interest on funds withheld at rates defined by the terms of the agreement which may be contractually specified or directly related to the underlying investments. DERIVATIVES FREESTANDING DERIVATIVES Freestanding derivatives are carried in the Company's balance sheets either as assets within derivative assets or as liabilities within derivative liabilities at estimated fair value. The Company does not offset the fair value amounts recognized for derivatives executed with the same counterparty absent a master netting agreement. Accruals on derivatives are generally recorded in accrued investment income or within derivative liabilities. However, accruals that are not scheduled to settle within one year are included with the derivatives carrying value in derivative assets or derivative liabilities. The Company's derivatives are not designated as qualifying for hedge accounting. Changes in the estimated fair value of derivatives are generally reported in net derivative gains (losses) except for those in policyholder benefits and claims for economic hedges of variable annuity guarantees included in future policy benefits in the balance sheets. The fluctuations in estimated fair value of derivatives can result in significant volatility in net income. EMBEDDED DERIVATIVES The Company assumes variable annuity guarantees, modified coinsurance contracts and equity indexed deferred annuities that contain embedded derivatives. Additionally, the Company has retroceded certain of these variable annuity guarantees to unaffiliated reinsurance counterparties that also contain embedded derivatives. The Company assesses each identified embedded derivative to determine whether it is required to be bifurcated. The embedded derivative is bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for as a freestanding derivative if: . the combined instrument is not accounted for in its entirety at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings; F-14

EXETER REASSURANCE COMPANY, LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 1. BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) . the terms of the embedded derivative are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract; and . a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would qualify as a derivative instrument. Such embedded derivatives are carried in the balance sheets at estimated fair value with the host contract and changes in their estimated fair value are generally reported in net derivative gains (losses) for assumed reinsurance or in policyholder benefits and claims for ceded reinsurance. At inception, the Company attributes to the embedded derivative a portion of the projected future guarantee fees to be collected from the policyholder equal to the present value of projected future guaranteed benefits. Any additional fees represent "excess" fees and are reported in universal life and investment-type product policy fees. FAIR VALUE Certain assets and liabilities are measured at estimated fair value in the Company's balance sheets. In addition, the notes to these financial statements include further disclosures of estimated fair values. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. In most cases, the exit price and the transaction (or entry) price will be the same at initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, fair values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are readily and regularly obtainable. When such quoted prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar but not identical assets or liabilities, or other observable inputs. If these inputs are not available, or observable inputs are not determinative, unobservable inputs and/or adjustments to observable inputs requiring management judgment are used to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities. INCOME TAX 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 provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the "Code"). Current taxes (and the benefits of tax attributes such as losses) are allocated to the Holding Company under the consolidated tax return regulations and a tax sharing agreement. Under the consolidated tax return regulations, the Holding Company has elected the "percentage method' (and 100 percent under such method) of reimbursing companies for tax attributes such as losses. As a result, one hundred percent of tax attributes such as losses are reimbursed by the Holding Company to the extent that consolidated federal income tax of the consolidated federal tax return group is reduced in a year by tax attributes such as losses. Profitable subsidiaries pay to the Holding company each year the federal income tax which such profitable subsidiary would have paid that year based upon that year's taxable income. The Holding Company has current or prior deductions and credits (including by not limited to losses) which reduce the consolidated tax liability of the consolidated federal tax return group, the deductions and credits are characterized as realized (or realizable) by the Holding Company when those tax attributes are realized (or realizable) by the consolidated federal tax return group, even if the Holding Company would not have realized the attributes on a stand-alone basis under a "wait and see" method.

EXETER REASSURANCE COMPANY, LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 1. BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Deferred income tax assets and liabilities resulting from temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis 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. The realization of deferred income 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. Factors in management's determination include the performance of the business and its ability to generate capital gains. 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: . future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards; . future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences; . taxable income in prior carryback years; and . tax planning strategies. The Company may be required to change its provision for income taxes in certain circumstances. Examples of such circumstances include 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 laws, tax regulations, or interpretations of such laws or regulations, 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 financial statements in the year these changes occur. The Company determines 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. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. Unrecognized tax benefits due to tax uncertainties that do not meet the threshold are included in other liabilities and are charged to earnings in the period that such determination is made. The Company classifies interest recognized as other expense and penalties recognized as a component of income tax expense. OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICIES CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers all highly liquid securities and other investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at amortized cost, which approximates estimated fair value. OTHER REVENUES Other revenues consist of funds withheld investment credit fees associated with financial reinsurance. F-16

EXETER REASSURANCE COMPANY, LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 1. BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) POLICYHOLDER DIVIDENDS Pursuant to the terms of certain reinsurance agreements, the Company participates in the policyholder dividend scale of the ceding company. Policyholder dividends are approved annually by the ceding company's board of directors. The aggregate amount of policyholder dividends is related to actual interest, mortality, morbidity and expense experience for the year, as well as the judgment of the ceding company's management as to the appropriate level of statutory surplus to be retained by the ceding company. FOREIGN CURRENCY Balance sheet accounts for reinsurance agreements that are settled in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate in effect at each year end and income and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rates during the year. Translation adjustments are charged or credited directly to foreign currency translation adjustments, included in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, net of applicable taxes. Intercompany receivables (payables) that are held in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate in effect at each year end and translation adjustments are charged directly to net investment gains (losses) in the period in which they occur. ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted new guidance regarding comprehensive income that requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI") by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The adoption was prospectively applied and resulted in additional disclosures in Note 9. Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted new guidance regarding balance sheet offsetting disclosures which requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements for derivatives, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions, to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effects of those arrangements on its financial position. Entities are required to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The adoption was retrospectively applied and resulted in additional disclosures related to derivatives in Note 6. On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted new guidance regarding accounting for DAC, which was retrospectively applied. The guidance specifies that only costs related directly to successful acquisition of new or renewal contracts can be capitalized as DAC; all other acquisition-related costs must be expensed as incurred. Under the new guidance, advertising costs may only be included in DAC if the capitalization criteria in the direct-response advertising guidance in Subtopic 340-20, OTHER ASSETS AND DEFERRED COSTS--CAPITALIZED ADVERTISING COSTS, are met. As a result, certain direct marketing, sales manager compensation and administrative costs previously capitalized by the Company will no longer be deferred. F-17

EXETER REASSURANCE COMPANY, LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 1. BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted new guidance regarding comprehensive income, which was retrospectively applied, that provides companies with the option to present the total of comprehensive income, components of net income, and the components of OCI either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements in annual financial statements. The standard eliminates the option to present components of OCI as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The Company adopted the two-statement approach for annual financial statements. Effective January 1, 2012, the Company adopted new guidance regarding fair value measurements that establishes common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. Some of the amendments clarify the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") intent on the application of existing fair value measurement requirements. Other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements other than the expanded disclosures in Note 7. FUTURE ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In March 2013, the FASB issued new guidance regarding foreign currency (Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-05, FOREIGN CURRENCY MATTERS (TOPIC 830): PARENT'S ACCOUNTING FOR THE CUMULATIVE TRANSLATION ADJUSTMENT UPON DERECOGNITION OF CERTAIN SUBSIDIARIES OR GROUPS OF ASSETS WITHIN A FOREIGN ENTITY OR OF AN INVESTMENT IN A FOREIGN ENTITY), effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2013. The amendments require an entity that ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity to apply the guidance in Subtopic 830-30, FOREIGN CURRENCY MATTERS -- TRANSLATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income. Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. For an equity method investment that is a foreign entity, the partial sale guidance in section 830-30-40, DERECOGNITION, still applies. As such, a pro rata portion of the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income upon a partial sale of such an equity method investment. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements. In February 2013, the FASB issued new guidance regarding liabilities (ASU 2013-04, LIABILITIES (TOPIC 405): OBLIGATIONS RESULTING FROM JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY ARRANGEMENTS FOR WHICH THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE OBLIGATION IS FIXED AT THE REPORTING DATE), effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim periods within those years. The amendments require an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of the guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. In addition, the amendments require an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation, as well as other information about the obligation. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements. F-18

EXETER REASSURANCE COMPANY, LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 2. DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS See Note 1 for a description of capitalized acquisition costs. PARTICIPATING AND DIVIDEND-PAYING TRADITIONAL CONTRACTS The Company amortizes DAC related to these 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. Of these factors, the Company anticipates that investment returns, expenses, persistency, and other factor changes and policyholder dividend scales are reasonably likely to significantly impact the rate of DAC amortization. On a quarterly basis, 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 amortization is re-estimated and adjusted by a cumulative charge or credit to earnings. When actual gross margins exceed those previously estimated, the DAC amortization will increase, resulting in a charge to earnings. The opposite result occurs when the actual gross margins are below the previously estimated gross margins. On a quarterly basis, the Company also updates the actual amount of business in-force, which impacts expected future gross margins. When expected future gross margins are below those previously estimated, the DAC amortization will increase, resulting in a charge to earnings. The opposite result occurs when the expected future gross margins are above the previously estimated expected future gross margins. Total DAC amortization during a particular period may increase or decrease depending upon the relative size of the amortization change resulting from the adjustment to DAC for the update of actual gross margins and the re-estimation of expected future gross margins. On a quarterly basis, the Company also reviews the estimated gross margins for each block of business to determine the recoverability of DAC balances. VARIABLE UNIVERSAL LIFE CONTRACTS, VARIABLE DEFERRED ANNUITY CONTRACTS AND EQUITY INDEXED DEFERRED ANNUITY CONTRACTS The Company amortizes DAC related to these 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 of the contracts. The amount of expected future gross profits is dependent principally upon investment returns in excess of the amounts credited to policyholders, mortality, persistency, interest crediting rates, expenses to administer the business, creditworthiness of reinsurance counterparties, 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 amortization. On a quarterly basis, 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 amortization is re-estimated and adjusted by the cumulated charge or credit to current operations. When actual gross profits exceed those previously estimated, the DAC 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. On a quarterly basis, the Company also updates the actual amount of business remaining in-force, which impact expected future gross profits. When expected future gross profits are below those previously estimated, the DAC amortization will increase, resulting in a current period charge to earnings. The opposite result occurs when the expected future gross profits are above the previously estimated expected future gross profits. Each period, the Company also reviews the estimated gross profits for each block of business to determine the recoverability of DAC balances. F-19

EXETER REASSURANCE COMPANY, LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 2. DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS (CONTINUED) FACTORS IMPACTING AMORTIZATION The Company also periodically reviews 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 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. Amortization of DAC is attributed to net investment gains (losses) and net derivative gains (losses), and to other expenses for the amount of gross margins or profits originating from transactions other than investment gains and losses. Unrealized investment gains and losses represent the amount of DAC that would have been amortized if such gains and losses had been recognized. Information regarding DAC was as follows: [Enlarge/Download Table] YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, -------------------------------- 2013 2012 2011 ---------- ---------- ---------- (IN THOUSANDS) Balance at January 1,...................................... $ 136,661 $ 178,105 $ 206,677 Capitalizations............................................ 2,013 1,760 2,955 Amortization related to: Net investment gains (losses) and net derivative gains (losses).............................................. 23,559 (28,204) (21,453) Other expenses..........................................

The non-life contingent portion of GMWB, GMAB and the portion of certain GMIB that does not require annuitization are accounted for as embedded derivatives in policyholder account balances and other policy-related balances which are further discussed in Note 6.

EXETER REASSURANCE COMPANY, LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 4. REINSURANCE The Company assumes insurance risk from affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies. The Company also cedes certain assumed insurance risks to unaffiliated reinsurers. 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. Premiums and policyholder benefits and claims in the statements of operations consist of amounts assumed, partially offset by amounts ceded under reinsurance agreements. The Company assumes risks from an unaffiliated company related to guaranteed minimum benefit guarantees written directly by the unaffiliated company. These assumed reinsurance agreements contain embedded derivatives and changes in their fair value are also included within net derivative gains (losses). The embedded derivatives associated with the cessions are included within policyholder's account balance and were liabilities of $1,262.3 million and $2,581.9 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, net derivative gains (losses) included $1,126.5 million, ($394.9) million and $80.6 million, respectively, in changes in fair value of such embedded derivatives. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had $99.2 million and $287.2 million, respectively, of unsecured unaffiliated ceded reinsurance recoverable balances. Certain unaffiliated reinsurance agreements that do not expose the Company to a reasonable possibility of a significant loss from insurance risk are recorded using the deposit method of accounting. The deposit assets on ceded unaffiliated reinsurance were $3.5 million and $28.9 million, at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The deposit liabilities on assumed unaffiliated reinsurance were $545 thousand and $335 thousand at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. RELATED PARTY REINSURANCE TRANSACTIONS The Company has reinsurance agreements with certain of the Holding Company's subsidiaries, including Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, First MetLife Investors Insurance Company, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut, MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company, MetLife Investors Insurance Company, MetLife Europe Limited ("MEL"), New England Life Insurance Company and Alico Life International Limited, all of which are related parties.

REINSURANCE (CONTINUED) liabilities, were $43.7 million and $61.1 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company's statement of operations reflects a loss for this agreement of $8.6 million and $3.5 million, which includes premiums of $1 thousand and $881.2 million and policyholder benefits of $8.6 million and $884.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company assumes risks from affiliates related to guaranteed minimum benefit guarantees written directly by the affiliates. These assumed reinsurance agreements contain embedded derivatives and changes in their fair value are also included within net derivative gains (losses). The embedded derivatives associated with the cessions are included within policyholder account balances and were liabilities of $1,226.6 million and $6,249.3 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, net derivative gains (losses) included $5,729.1 million, ($729.3) million and ($2,818.1) million, respectively, in changes in fair value of such embedded derivatives. The Company had no ceded affiliated reinsurance recoverable balances at December 31, 2013 and 2012. 5. INVESTMENTS See Note 7 for information about the fair value hierarchy for investments and the related valuation methodologies. INVESTMENT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES Investments are exposed to the following primary sources of risk: credit, interest rate, liquidity, market valuation and currency. The financial statement risks, stemming from such investment risks, are those associated with the determination of estimated fair values, the diminished ability to sell certain investments in times of strained market conditions, the recognition of impairments, the recognition of income on certain investments and the potential consolidation of variable interest entities ("VIEs"). The use of different methodologies, assumptions and inputs relating to these financial statement risks may have a material effect on the amounts presented within the financial statements. The determination of valuation allowances and impairments is highly subjective and is based upon periodic evaluations and assessments 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. The recognition of income on certain investments (e.g., structured securities, including mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities ("ABS") and certain structured investment transactions) is dependent upon certain factors such as prepayments and defaults, and changes in such factors could result in changes in amounts to be earned.

Actual prepayment experience is periodically reviewed and effective yields are recalculated when differences arise between the originally anticipated and the actual prepayments received and currently anticipated. Prepayment assumptions for single class and multi-class mortgage-backed and ABS are estimated using inputs obtained from third-party specialists and based on management's knowledge of the current market. For credit-sensitive mortgage-backed and ABS and certain prepayment-sensitive securities, the effective yield is recalculated on a prospective basis. For all other mortgage-backed and ABS, the effective yield is recalculated on a retrospective basis. F-26

EXETER REASSURANCE COMPANY, LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 5. INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED) EVALUATION OF AFS SECURITIES FOR OTTI AND EVALUATING TEMPORARILY IMPAIRED AFS SECURITIES EVALUATION AND MEASUREMENT METHODOLOGIES 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 in the impairment evaluation process include, but are not limited to: (i) the length of time and the extent to which the estimated fair value has been below amortized cost; (ii) the potential for impairments 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 loss or has exhausted natural resources; (vi) whether the Company has the intent to sell or will more likely than not be required to sell a particular security before the decline in estimated fair value below amortized cost recovers; (vii) with respect to structured securities, changes in forecasted cash flows after considering the quality of underlying collateral, expected prepayment speeds, current and forecasted loss severity, consideration of the payment terms of the underlying assets backing a particular security, and the payment priority within the tranche structure of the security; and (viii) other subjective factors, including concentrations and information obtained from regulators and rating agencies. The methodology and significant inputs used to determine the amount of credit loss on fixed maturity securities are as follows: . The Company calculates the recovery value by performing a discounted cash flow analysis based on the present value of future cash flows. The discount rate is generally the effective interest rate of the security prior to impairment. . When determining collectability and the period over which value is expected to recover, the Company applies considerations utilized in its overall impairment evaluation process which incorporates information regarding the specific security, fundamentals of the industry and geographic area in which the security issuer operates, and overall macroeconomic conditions. Projected future cash flows are estimated using assumptions derived from management's best estimates of likely scenario-based outcomes after giving consideration to a variety of variables that include, but are not limited to: payment terms of the security; the likelihood that the issuer can service the interest and principal payments; the quality and amount of any credit enhancements; the security's position within the capital structure of the issuer; possible corporate restructurings or asset sales by the issuer; and changes to the rating of the security or the issuer by rating agencies. . Additional considerations are made when assessing the unique features that apply to certain structured securities including, but not limited to: the quality of underlying collateral, expected prepayment speeds; current and forecasted loss severity, consideration of the payment terms of the underlying loans or assets backing a particular security, and the payment priority within the tranche structure of the security. . When determining the amount of the credit loss for U.S. and foreign corporate securities and state and political subdivision securities, the estimated fair value is considered the recovery value when available F-28

EXETER REASSURANCE COMPANY, LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 5. INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED) information does not indicate that another value is more appropriate. When information is identified that indicates a recovery value other than estimated fair value, management considers in the determination of recovery value the same considerations utilized in its overall impairment evaluation process as described above, as well as private and public sector programs to restructure such securities. With respect to securities that have attributes of debt and equity (perpetual hybrid securities), consideration is given in the OTTI analysis as to whether there has been any deterioration in the credit of the issuer and the likelihood of recovery in value of the securities that are in a severe and extended unrealized loss position. Consideration is also given as to whether any perpetual hybrid securities, with an unrealized loss, regardless of credit rating, have deferred any dividend payments. When an OTTI loss has occurred, the OTTI loss is the entire difference between the perpetual hybrid security's cost and its estimated fair value with a corresponding charge to earnings. The amortized cost of fixed maturity securities is adjusted for OTTI in the period in which the determination is made. The Company does not change the revised cost basis for subsequent recoveries in value. In periods subsequent to the recognition of OTTI on a fixed maturity security, the Company accounts for the impaired security as if it had been purchased on the measurement date of the impairment. Accordingly, the discount (or reduced premium) based on the new cost basis is accreted over the remaining term of the fixed maturity security in a prospective manner based on the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows. CURRENT PERIOD EVALUATION Based on the Company's current evaluation of its AFS securities in an unrealized loss position in accordance with its impairment policy, and the Company's current intentions and assessments (as applicable to the type of security) about holding, selling and any requirements to sell these securities, the Company has concluded that these securities are not other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2013. Future OTTI will depend primarily on economic fundamentals, issuer performance (including changes in the present value of future cash flows expected to be collected) and changes in credit ratings, collateral valuation, interest rates and credit spreads. If economic fundamentals deteriorate or if there are adverse changes in the above factors, OTTI may be incurred in upcoming periods. Gross unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities increased $18.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 from $2.1 million to $20.4 million. The increase in gross unrealized losses for the year ended December 31, 2013, was primarily attributable to an increase in interest rates, partially offset by narrowing credit spreads. At December 31, 2013, there were no fixed maturity securities with an unrealized loss position of 20% or more of amortized cost for six months or greater. FUNDS WITHHELD AT INTEREST Funds withheld at interest represent amounts contractually withheld by ceding companies in accordance with reinsurance agreements. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, such amounts consisted of balances withheld in connection with reinsurance agreements with affiliates of the Holding Company, as presented in Note 4, and an unaffiliated company.

EXETER REASSURANCE COMPANY, LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 5. INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED) (2)Certain of the Company's invested assets are pledged as collateral for various derivative transactions as described in Note 6. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES The Company has invested in certain structured transactions that are VIEs. In certain instances, the Company may hold both the power to direct the most significant activities of the entity, as well as an economic interest in the entity and, as such, it would be deemed to be the primary beneficiary or consolidator of the entity. The determination of the VIE's primary beneficiary requires an evaluation of the contractual and implied rights and obligations associated with each party's relationship with or involvement in the entity, an estimate of the entity's expected losses and expected residual returns and the allocation of such estimates to each party involved in the entity. The Company generally uses a qualitative approach to determine whether it is the primary beneficiary. However, for VIEs that are investment companies or apply measurement principles consistent with those utilized by investment companies, the primary beneficiary is based on a risks and rewards model and is defined as the entity that will absorb a majority of a VIE's expected losses, receive a majority of a VIE's expected residual returns if no single entity absorbs a majority of expected losses, or both. The Company reassesses its involvement with VIEs on a quarterly basis. The use of different methodologies, assumptions and inputs in the determination of the primary beneficiary could have a material effect on the amounts presented within the financial statements. CONSOLIDATED VIES There were no VIEs for which the Company has concluded that it is the primary beneficiary and which are consolidated at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

EXETER REASSURANCE COMPANY, LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 6. DERIVATIVES (CONTINUED) Derivatives are financial instruments whose values are derived from interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, credit spreads and/or other financial indices. Derivatives may be exchange-traded or contracted in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market. Certain of the Company's OTC derivatives may be cleared and settled through central clearing counterparties ("OTC-cleared"), while others are bilateral contracts between two counterparties ("OTC-bilateral"). The types of derivatives the Company uses include swaps, forwards, futures and option contracts. The Company also purchases certain securities and engages in certain reinsurance agreements that have embedded derivatives. The Company utilizes all derivatives in non-qualifying hedging relationships. INTEREST RATE DERIVATIVES The Company uses a variety of interest rate derivatives to reduce its exposure to changes in interest rates, including interest rate swaps, futures and options. 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 amount. In exchange-traded interest rate Treasury 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 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 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. Swaptions are used by the Company to hedge interest rate risk associated with the Company's long-term liabilities and invested assets. A swaption is an option to enter into a swap with a forward starting effective date. In certain instances, the Company locks in the economic impact of existing purchased swaptions by entering into offsetting written swaptions. The Company pays a premium for purchased swaptions and receives a premium for written swaptions. Swaptions are included in interest rate options. FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE DERIVATIVES The Company uses foreign currency forwards to reduce the risk from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with its assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. 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 at the specified future date. To a lesser extent, the Company uses exchange-traded currency futures to hedge currency mismatches between assets and liabilities. F-34

EXETER REASSURANCE COMPANY, LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 6. DERIVATIVES (CONTINUED) EQUITY DERIVATIVES The Company uses a variety of equity derivatives to reduce its exposure to equity market risk, including equity index options, variance swaps, exchange-traded equity futures and total rate of return swaps ("TRRs"). Equity index options are used by the Company primarily to hedge minimum guarantees embedded in certain variable annuity products assumed 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. Certain of these contracts may also contain settlement provisions linked to interest rates. In certain instances, the Company may enter into a combination of transactions to hedge adverse changes in equity indices within a pre-determined range through the purchase and sale of options. Equity variance swaps are used by the Company primarily to hedge minimum guarantees embedded in certain variable annuity products reinsured 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. In exchange-traded 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 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 equity futures are used primarily to hedge liabilities embedded in certain variable annuity products reinsured by the Company. 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 the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), calculated by reference to an agreed notional 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. The Company uses TRRs to hedge its equity market guarantees in certain of its reinsured products. TRRs can be used as hedges or to synthetically create investments. F-35

CREDIT RISK ON FREESTANDING DERIVATIVES The Company may be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to derivatives. Generally, the current credit exposure of the Company's derivatives is limited to the net positive estimated fair value of derivatives at the reporting date after taking into consideration the existence of master netting or similar agreements and any collateral received pursuant to such agreements. The Company manages its credit risk related to derivatives by entering into transactions with creditworthy counterparties and establishing and monitoring exposure limits. The Company's OTC-bilateral derivative transactions are generally governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association ("ISDA") Master Agreements which provide for legally enforceable set-off and close-out netting of exposures to specific counterparties in the event of early termination of a transaction, which includes, but is not limited to, events of default and bankruptcy. In the event of an early termination, the Company is permitted to set-off receivables from the counterparty against payables to the same counterparty arising out of all included transactions. Substantially all of the Company's ISDA Master Agreements also include Credit Support Annex provisions which require both the pledging and accepting of collateral in connection with its OTC-bilateral derivatives. See Note 7 for a description of the impact of credit risk on the valuation of derivatives. F-37

EXETER REASSURANCE COMPANY, LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 7. FAIR VALUE When developing estimated fair values, the Company considers three broad valuation techniques: (i) the market approach, (ii) the income approach, and (iii) the cost approach. The Company determines the most appropriate valuation technique to use, given what is being measured and the availability of sufficient inputs, giving priority to observable inputs. The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value into a three-level hierarchy, based on the significant input with the lowest level in its valuation. The input levels are as follows: Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The size of the bid/ask spread is used as an indicator of market activity for fixed maturity securities. Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly. These inputs can include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities other than quoted prices in Level 1, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other significant inputs that are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the determination of estimated fair value of the assets or liabilities. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Financial markets are susceptible to severe events evidenced by rapid depreciation in asset values accompanied by a reduction in asset liquidity. The Company's ability to sell securities, or the price ultimately realized for these securities, depends upon the demand and liquidity in the market and increases the use of judgment in determining the estimated fair value of certain securities. Considerable judgment is often required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value, and the use of different assumptions or valuation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

EXETER REASSURANCE COMPANY, LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 7. FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED) (3)Net embedded derivatives within asset host contracts are presented within funds withheld at interest and premiums, reinsurance and other receivables in the balance sheets. Net embedded derivatives within liability host contracts are presented within other policy-related balances in the balance sheets. The following describes the valuation methodologies used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. The description includes the valuation techniques and key inputs for each category of assets or liabilities that are classified within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. INVESTMENTS VALUATION CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES On behalf of the Company and the Holding Company's Chief Investment Officer and Chief Financial Officer, a pricing and valuation committee that is independent of the trading and investing functions and comprised of senior management provides oversight of control systems and valuation policies for securities and derivatives. On a quarterly basis, this committee reviews and approves new transaction types and markets, ensures that observable market prices and market-based parameters are used for valuation, wherever possible, and determines that judgmental valuation adjustments, when applied, are based upon established policies and are applied consistently over time. This committee also provides oversight of the selection of independent third party pricing providers and the controls and procedures to evaluate third party pricing. Periodically, the Chief Accounting Officer reports to the Audit Committee of the Holding Company's Board of Directors regarding compliance with fair value accounting standards. The Company reviews its valuation methodologies on an ongoing basis and revises those methodologies when necessary based on changing market conditions. Assurance is gained on the overall reasonableness and consistent application of input assumptions, valuation methodologies and compliance with fair value accounting standards through controls designed to ensure valuations represent an exit price. Several controls are utilized, including certain monthly controls, which include, but are not limited to, analysis of portfolio returns to corresponding benchmark returns, comparing a sample of executed prices of securities sold to the fair value estimates, comparing fair value estimates to management's knowledge of the current market, reviewing the bid/ask spreads to assess activity, comparing prices from multiple independent pricing services and ongoing due diligence to confirm that independent pricing services use market-based parameters. The process includes a determination of the observability of inputs used in estimated fair values received from independent pricing services or brokers by assessing whether these inputs can be corroborated by observable market data. The Company ensures that prices received from independent brokers, also referred to herein as "consensus pricing," represent a reasonable estimate of fair value by considering such pricing relative to the Company's knowledge of the current market dynamics and current pricing for similar financial instruments. The Company also applies a formal process to challenge any prices received from independent pricing services that are not considered representative of estimated fair value. If prices received from independent pricing services are not considered reflective of market activity or representative of estimated fair value, independent non-binding broker quotations are obtained, or an internally developed valuation is prepared. Internally developed valuations of current estimated fair value, which reflect internal estimates of liquidity and nonperformance risks, compared with pricing received from the independent pricing services, did not produce material differences in the estimated fair values for the majority of the portfolio; accordingly, overrides were not material. This is, in part, because internal estimates of liquidity and nonperformance risks are generally F-44

EXETER REASSURANCE COMPANY, LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 7. FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED) based on available market evidence and estimates used by other market participants. In the absence of such market-based evidence, management's best estimate is used. SECURITIES AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS When available, the estimated fair value of these investments is based on quoted prices in active markets that are readily and regularly obtainable. Generally, these are the most liquid of the Company's securities holdings and valuation of these securities does not involve management's judgment. When quoted prices in active markets are not available, the determination of estimated fair value is based on market standard valuation methodologies, giving priority to observable inputs. The significant inputs to the market standard valuation methodologies for certain types of securities with reasonable levels of price transparency are inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. When observable inputs are not available, the market standard valuation methodologies rely on inputs that are significant to the estimated fair value that are not observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. These unobservable inputs can be based in large part on management's judgment or estimation and cannot be supported by reference to market activity. Even though these inputs are unobservable, management believes they are consistent with what other market participants would use when pricing such securities and are considered appropriate given the circumstances. Level 2 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs: This level includes fixed maturity securities priced principally by independent pricing services using observable inputs. Short-term investments within this level are of a similar nature and class to the Level 2 fixed maturity securities. U.S. CORPORATE AND FOREIGN CORPORATE SECURITIES These securities are principally valued using the market and income approaches. Valuations are based primarily on quoted prices in markets that are not active, or using matrix pricing or other similar techniques that use standard market observable inputs such as benchmark yields, spreads off benchmark yields, new issuances, issuer rating, duration, and trades of identical or comparable securities. Privately placed securities are valued using matrix pricing methodologies using standard market observable inputs, and inputs derived from, or corroborated by, market observable data including market yield curve, duration, call provisions, observable prices and spreads for similar publicly traded or privately traded issues that incorporate the credit quality and industry sector of the issuer and in certain cases, delta spread adjustments to reflect specific credit related issues. STRUCTURED SECURITIES COMPRISED OF ABS, CMBS AND RMBS These securities are principally valued using the market and income approaches. Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing, discounted cash flow methodologies or other similar techniques using standard market inputs including spreads for actively traded securities, spreads off benchmark yields, expected prepayment speeds and volumes, current and forecasted loss severity, rating, weighted average coupon, F-45

FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED) weighted average maturity, average delinquency rates, geographic region, debt-service coverage ratios and issuance-specific information including, but not limited to: collateral type, payment terms of the underlying assets, payment priority within the tranche, structure of the security, deal performance and vintage of loans. STATE AND POLITICAL SUBDIVISION AND FOREIGN GOVERNMENT SECURITIES These securities are principally valued using the market approach. Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing or other similar techniques using standard market observable inputs including a benchmark U.S. Treasury yield or other yields, issuer ratings, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads and reported trades of similar securities, including those within the same sub-sector or with a similar maturity or credit rating. U.S. TREASURY AND AGENCY SECURITIES These securities are principally valued using the market approach. Valuations are based primarily on quoted prices in markets that are not active or using matrix pricing or other similar techniques using standard market observable inputs such as a benchmark U.S. Treasury yield curve, the spread off the U.S. Treasury yield curve for the identical security and comparable securities that are actively traded. Level 3 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs: In general, securities classified within Level 3 use many of the same valuation techniques and inputs as described previously for in the Level 2. However, if key inputs are unobservable, or if the investments are less liquid and there is very limited trading activity, the investments are generally classified as Level 3. The use of independent non-binding broker quotations to value investments generally indicates there is a lack of liquidity or a lack of transparency in the process to develop the valuation estimates, generally causing these investments to be classified in Level 3. Short-term investments within this level are of a similar nature and class to the Level 3 securities described below; accordingly, the valuation techniques and significant market standard observable inputs used in their valuation are also similar to those described below. U.S. CORPORATE AND FOREIGN CORPORATE SECURITIES These securities are principally valued using the market approach. Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing or other similar techniques that utilize unobservable inputs or inputs that cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data, including illiquidity premium, delta spread adjustments to reflect specific credit-related issues, credit spreads and inputs including quoted prices for identical or similar securities that are less liquid and based on lower levels of trading activity than securities classified in Level 2. Certain valuations are based on independent non-binding broker quotations. STRUCTURED SECURITIES COMPRISED OF ABS AND CMBS These securities are principally valued using the market and income approaches. Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing, discounted cash flow methodologies or other similar techniques that utilize inputs that are unobservable or cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data including credit spreads.

EXETER REASSURANCE COMPANY, LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 7. FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED) are valued based on inputs including quoted prices for identical or similar securities that are less liquid and based on lower levels of trading activity than securities classified in Level 2. Certain of these valuations are based on independent non-binding broker quotations. DERIVATIVES The estimated fair value of derivatives is determined through the use of quoted market prices for exchange-traded derivatives, or through the use of pricing models for OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives. The determination of estimated fair value, when quoted market values are not available, is based on market standard valuation methodologies and inputs that management believes are consistent with what other market participants would use when pricing such instruments. Derivative valuations can be affected by changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, financial indices, credit spreads, default risk, nonperformance risk, volatility, liquidity and changes in estimates and assumptions used in the pricing models. The valuation controls and procedures for derivatives are described in "-- Investments." The significant inputs to the pricing models for most OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives are inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Significant inputs that are observable generally include: interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rate curves, credit curves and volatility. However, certain OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives may rely on inputs that are significant to the estimated fair value that are not observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Significant inputs that are unobservable generally include references to emerging market currencies and inputs that are outside the observable portion of the interest rate curve, credit curve, volatility or other relevant market measure. These unobservable inputs may involve significant management judgment or estimation. Even though unobservable, these inputs are based on assumptions deemed appropriate given the circumstances and management believes they are consistent with what other market participants would use when pricing such instruments. Most inputs for OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives are mid-market inputs but, in certain cases, liquidity adjustments are made when they are deemed more representative of exit value. Market liquidity, as well as the use of different methodologies, assumptions and inputs, may have a material effect on the estimated fair values of the Company's derivatives and could materially affect net income. The credit risk of both the counterparty and the Company are considered in determining the estimated fair value for all OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives, and any potential credit adjustment is based on the net exposure by counterparty after taking into account the effects of netting agreements and collateral arrangements. The Company values its OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives using standard swap curves which may include a spread to the risk free rate, depending upon specific collateral arrangements. This credit spread is appropriate for those parties that execute trades at pricing levels consistent with similar collateral arrangements. As the Company and its significant derivative counterparties generally execute trades at such pricing levels and hold sufficient collateral, additional credit risk adjustments are not currently required in the valuation process. The Company's ability to consistently execute at such pricing levels is in part due to the netting agreements and collateral arrangements that are in place with all of its significant derivative counterparties. An evaluation of the requirement to make additional credit risk adjustments is performed by the Company each reporting period. F-47

FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED) FREESTANDING DERIVATIVES Level 2 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs: This level includes all types of derivatives utilized by the Company with the exception of exchange-traded derivatives included within Level 1 and those derivatives with unobservable inputs as described in Level 3. These derivatives are principally valued using the income approach. INTEREST RATE NON-OPTION-BASED. -- Valuations are based on present value techniques, which utilize significant inputs that may include the swap yield curve and basis curves. OPTION-BASED. -- Valuations are based on option pricing models, which utilize significant inputs that may include the swap yield curve, basis curves and interest rate volatility. FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE NON-OPTION-BASED. -- Valuations are based on present value techniques, which utilize significant inputs that may include the swap yield curve, basis curves, currency spot rates and cross currency basis curves. EQUITY MARKET NON-OPTION-BASED. -- Valuations are based on present value techniques, which utilize significant inputs that may include the swap yield curve, spot equity index levels and dividend yield curves. OPTION-BASED. -- Valuations are based on option pricing models, which utilize significant inputs that may include the swap yield curve, spot equity index levels, dividend yield curves and equity volatility. Level 3 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs: These derivatives are principally valued using the income approach. Valuations of non-option-based derivatives utilize present value techniques, whereas valuations of option-based derivatives utilize option pricing models. These valuation methodologies generally use the same inputs as described in the corresponding sections above for Level 2 measurements of derivatives. However, these derivatives result in Level 3 classification because one or more of the significant inputs are not observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. EQUITY MARKET NON-OPTION-BASED. -- Significant unobservable inputs may include the extrapolation beyond observable limits of dividend yield curves and equity volatility.

EXETER REASSURANCE COMPANY, LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 7. FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED) EMBEDDED DERIVATIVES Embedded derivatives principally include certain assumed and ceded variable annuity guarantees and equity indexed crediting rates within certain funding agreements. Embedded derivatives are recorded at estimated fair value with changes in estimated fair value reported in net income. The fair value of these embedded derivatives, estimated as the present value of projected future benefits minus the present value of projected future fees using actuarial and capital market assumptions including expectations concerning policyholder behavior, is calculated by the Company's actuarial department. The calculation is based on in-force business, and is performed using standard actuarial valuation software which projects future cash flows from the embedded derivative over multiple risk neutral stochastic scenarios using observable risk free rates. Capital market assumptions, such as risk free rates and implied volatilities, are based on market prices for publicly traded instruments to the extent that prices for such instruments are observable. Implied volatilities beyond the observable period are extrapolated based on observable implied volatilities and historical volatilities. Actuarial assumptions, including mortality, lapse, withdrawal and utilization, are unobservable and are reviewed at least annually based on actuarial studies of historical experience. The valuation of these guarantee liabilities includes nonperformance risk adjustments and adjustments for a risk margin related to non-capital market inputs. The nonperformance adjustment is determined by taking into consideration publicly available information relating to spreads in the secondary market for the Holding Company's debt, including related credit default swaps. Risk margins are established to capture the non-capital market risks of the instrument which represent the additional compensation a market participant would require to assume the risks related to the uncertainties of such actuarial assumptions as annuitization, premium persistency, partial withdrawal and surrenders. The establishment of risk margins requires the use of significant management judgment, including assumptions of the amount and cost of capital needed to cover the guarantees. These guarantees may be more costly than expected in volatile or declining equity markets. Market conditions including, but not limited to, changes in interest rates, equity indices, market volatility and foreign currency exchange rates; changes in nonperformance risk; and variations in actuarial assumptions regarding policyholder behavior, mortality and risk margins related to non-capital market inputs, may result in significant fluctuations in the estimated fair value of the guarantees that could materially affect net income. The Company ceded the risk associated with certain of the GMIBs previously described. These reinsurance agreements contain embedded derivatives which are included within premiums, reinsurance and other receivables in the balance sheets with changes in estimated fair value reported in net derivative gains (losses) or policyholder benefits and claims depending on the statement of operations classification of the direct risk. The value of the embedded derivatives on the ceded risk is determined using a methodology consistent with that described previously with the exception of the input for nonperformance risk that reflects the credit of the reinsurer.

EXETER REASSURANCE COMPANY, LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 7. FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED) The estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives within funds withheld related to certain assumed reinsurance is determined based on the change in estimated fair value of the underlying assets held by the Company in a reference portfolio backing the funds withheld liability. The estimated fair value of the underlying assets is determined as previously described in "-- Investments -- Securities and Short-term Investments." The estimated fair value of these embedded derivatives is included, along with their funds withheld hosts, in derivative liabilities and funds withheld at interest in the balance sheets with changes in estimated fair value recorded in net derivative gains (losses). Changes in the credit spreads on the underlying assets, interest rates and market volatility may result in significant fluctuations in the estimated fair value of these embedded derivatives that could materially affect net income. EMBEDDED DERIVATIVES WITHIN ASSET AND LIABILITY HOST CONTRACTS Level 3 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs: ASSUMED GUARANTEED MINIMUM BENEFITS These embedded derivatives are principally valued using the income approach. Valuations are based on option pricing techniques, which utilize significant inputs that may include swap yield curve, currency exchange rates and implied volatilities. These embedded derivatives result in Level 3 classification because one or more of the significant inputs are not observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Significant unobservable inputs generally include: the extrapolation beyond observable limits of the swap yield curve and implied volatilities, actuarial assumptions for policyholder behavior and mortality and the potential variability in policyholder behavior and mortality, nonperformance risk and cost of capital for purposes of calculating the risk margin. REINSURANCE CEDED ON CERTAIN GUARANTEED MINIMUM BENEFITS These embedded derivatives are principally valued using the income approach. The valuation techniques and significant market standard unobservable inputs used in their valuation are similar to those described above in " -- Assumed Guaranteed Minimum Benefits" and also include counterparty credit spreads. EMBEDDED DERIVATIVES WITHIN FUNDS WITHHELD RELATED TO CERTAIN ASSUMED REINSURANCE These embedded derivatives are principally valued using an income approach. Valuations are based on present value techniques, which utilize significant inputs that may include the swap yield curve and the fair value of assets within the reference portfolio. These embedded derivatives result in Level 3 classification because one or more of the significant inputs are not observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Significant unobservable inputs generally include: the fair value of certain assets within the reference portfolio which are not observable in the market and cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. TRANSFERS BETWEEN LEVELS Overall, transfers between levels occur when there are changes in the observability of inputs and market activity. Transfers into or out of any level are assumed to occur at the beginning of the period. F-50

EXETER REASSURANCE COMPANY, LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 7. FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED) TRANSFERS BETWEEN LEVELS 1 AND 2: There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 for assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value and still held at December 31, 2013 and 2012. TRANSFERS INTO OR OUT OF LEVEL 3: Assets and liabilities are transferred into Level 3 when a significant input cannot be corroborated with market observable data. This occurs when market activity decreases significantly and underlying inputs cannot be observed, current prices are not available, and/or when there are significant variances in quoted prices, thereby affecting transparency. Assets and liabilities are transferred out of Level 3 when circumstances change such that a significant input can be corroborated with market observable data. This may be due to a significant increase in market activity, a specific event, or one or more significant input(s) becoming observable. Transfers into Level 3 for fixed maturity securities were due primarily to a lack of trading activity, decreased liquidity and credit ratings downgrades (e.g., from investment grade to below investment grade) which have resulted in decreased transparency of valuations and an increased use of independent non-binding broker quotations and unobservable inputs, such as illiquidity premiums, delta spread adjustments, or credit spreads. Transfers out of Level 3 for fixed maturity securities resulted primarily from increased transparency of both new issuances that, subsequent to issuance and establishment of trading activity, became priced by independent pricing services and existing issuances that, over time, the Company was able to obtain pricing from, or corroborate pricing received from, independent pricing services with observable inputs (such as observable spreads used in pricing securities) or increases in market activity and upgraded credit ratings.

FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED) (9)Ranges represent the different correlation factors utilized as components within the valuation methodology. Presenting a range of correlation factors is more representative of the unobservable input used in the valuation. Increases (decreases) in correlation in isolation will increase (decrease) the significance of the change in valuations. (10)Mortality rates vary by age and by demographic characteristics such as gender. Mortality rate assumptions are based on company experience. A mortality improvement assumption is also applied. For any given contract, mortality rates vary throughout the period over which cash flows are projected for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative. (11)Base lapse rates are adjusted at the contract level based on a comparison of the actuarially calculated guaranteed values and the current policyholder account value, as well as other factors, such as the applicability of any surrender charges. A dynamic lapse function reduces the base lapse rate when the guaranteed amount is greater than the account value as in the money contracts are less likely to lapse. Lapse rates are also generally assumed to be lower in periods when a surrender charge applies. For any given contract, lapse rates vary throughout the period over which cash flows are projected for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative. (12)The utilization rate assumption estimates the percentage of contract holders with a GMIB or lifetime withdrawal benefit who will elect to utilize the benefit upon becoming eligible. The rates may vary by the type of guarantee, the amount by which the guaranteed amount is greater than the account value, the contract's withdrawal history and by the age of the policyholder. For any given contract, utilization rates vary throughout the period over which cash flows are projected for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative. (13)The withdrawal rate represents the percentage of account balance that any given policyholder will elect to withdraw from the contract each year. The withdrawal rate assumption varies by age and duration of the contract, and also by other factors such as benefit type. For any given contract, withdrawal rates vary throughout the period over which cash flows are projected for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative. For GMWBs, any increase (decrease) in withdrawal rates results in an increase (decrease) in the estimated fair value of the guarantees. For GMABs and GMIBs, any increase (decrease) in withdrawal rates results in a decrease (increase) in the estimated fair value. (14)Long-term equity volatilities represent equity volatility beyond the period for which observable equity volatilities are available. For any given contract, long-term equity volatility rates vary throughout the period over which cash flows are projected for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative. (15)Nonperformance risk spread varies by duration and by currency. For any given contract, multiple nonperformance risk spreads will apply, depending on the duration of the cash flow being discounted for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative. The following is a summary of the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities classified within Level 3 that are not included in the preceding table. Generally, all other classes of securities classified within Level 3, including those within embedded derivatives within funds withheld related to certain assumed reinsurance, use the same valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs as previously described for Level 3 fixed maturity securities. This includes matrix pricing and discounted cash flow methodologies, inputs such as quoted prices for identical or similar securities that are less liquid and based on lower levels of trading activity than securities classified in Level 2, as well as independent non-binding broker quotations. The sensitivity of the estimated fair value to changes in the significant unobservable inputs for these other assets and liabilities is similar in nature to that described in the preceding table.

EXETER REASSURANCE COMPANY, LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 7. FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS CARRIED AT OTHER THAN FAIR VALUE The following tables provide fair value information for financial instruments that are carried on the balance sheet at amounts other than fair value. These tables exclude the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, accrued investment income, the obligation to return cash collateral received (included in other liabilities on the balance sheets) and short-term investments that are not securities, such as time deposits, and therefore are not included in the three level hierarchy table disclosed in the "-- Recurring Fair Value Measurements" section. The estimated fair value of the excluded financial instruments, which are primarily classified in Level 2 and, to a lesser extent, in Level 1, approximates carrying value as they are short-term in nature such that the Company believes there is minimal risk of material changes in interest rates or credit quality. All remaining balance sheet amounts excluded from the table below are not considered financial instruments subject to this disclosure. The carrying values and estimated fair values for such financial instruments, and their corresponding placement in the fair value hierarchy, are summarized as follows at: [Enlarge/Download Table] DECEMBER 31, 2013 --------------------------------------------------------- FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY CARRYING ----------------------------- TOTAL ESTIMATED VALUE LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 FAIR VALUE ---------- ------- ---------- ---------- --------------- (IN THOUSANDS) ASSETS Premiums, reinsurance and other receivables. $ 228,140 $ -- $ 224,672 $ (161,249) $ 63,423 LIABILITIES Debt -- affiliated.......................... $ 575,118 $ -- $ 592,278 $ -- $ 592,278 Other liabilities........................... $ 3,836 $ -- $ 3,836 $ -- $ 3,836 DECEMBER 31, 2012 --------------------------------------------------------- FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY CARRYING ----------------------------- TOTAL ESTIMATED VALUE LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 FAIR VALUE ---------- ------- ---------- ---------- --------------- (IN THOUSANDS) ASSETS Premiums, reinsurance and other receivables. $ 304,411 $ -- $ 275,479 $ 174,126 $ 449,605 LIABILITIES Debt -- affiliated.......................... $ 75,118 $ -- $ 82,174 $ -- $ 82,174 Other liabilities........................... $ 72 $ -- $ 72 $ -- $ 72 The methods, assumptions and significant valuation techniques and inputs used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are summarized as follows: PREMIUMS, REINSURANCE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES Premiums, reinsurance and other receivables are principally comprised of certain amounts recoverable under reinsurance agreements and amounts on deposit with financial institutions to facilitate daily settlements related to certain derivatives.

EXETER REASSURANCE COMPANY, LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 7. FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED) Premiums receivable and those amounts recoverable under reinsurance agreements determined to transfer significant risk are not financial instruments subject to disclosure and thus have been excluded from the amounts presented. Amounts recoverable under ceded reinsurance agreements, which the Company has determined do not transfer significant risk such that they are accounted for using the deposit method of accounting, have been classified as Level 3. The valuation is based on discounted cash flow methodologies using significant unobservable inputs. The estimated fair value is determined using interest rates determined to reflect the appropriate credit standing of the assuming counterparty. The amounts on deposit for derivative settlements, classified within Level 2, essentially represent the equivalent of demand deposit balances and amounts due for securities sold are generally received over short periods such that the estimated fair value approximates carrying value. DEBT -- AFFILIATED The estimated fair value of debt is principally determined using market standard valuation methodologies. Valuations are based primarily on quoted prices in markets that are not active or using matrix pricing that use standard market observable inputs such as quoted prices in markets that are not active and observable yields and spreads in the market. Instruments valued using discounted cash flow methodologies use standard market observable inputs including market yield curve, duration, observable prices and spreads for similar publicly traded or privately traded issues. OTHER LIABILITIES Other liabilities consist primarily of interest payable. The Company evaluates the specific terms, facts and circumstances of each instrument to determine the appropriate estimated fair values, which are not materially different from the carrying values. 8.

EXETER REASSURANCE COMPANY, LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 11. INCOME TAX (CONTINUED) Domestic net operating carryforwards of $192,099 thousand at December 31, 2013 will expire beginning in 2028. Tax credit carryforwards of $113 thousand at December 31, 2013 will expire beginning in 2022. The lack of a valuation allowance reflects management's assessment, based on available information, that it is more likely than not that the deferred income tax asset will be realizable. In 2013, management believes that it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize gross deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a valuation allowance against its gross deferred tax assets. The Company has determined that a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets is not appropriate as of the year ended December 31, 2012. Prior to October 1, 2013, the Company was registered as an exempted company pursuant to the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands. No local income, profits or capital gains taxes are levied in the Cayman Islands at the current time. As a result, no provision for such taxes is recorded by the Company. Prior to the re-domestication, the Company made an election to be treated as an U.S. Domestic entity under Internal Revenue Code Section ("Sec.") 953(d). The election under Sec. 953(d) is valid through December 31, 2013. 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 provision of the Code. Pursuant to this tax sharing agreement, the amount due from the Holding Company was $196.6 million and $261.7 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company files income tax returns with the U.S. federal government and is under continuous examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years prior to 2003, with the exception of the period October 31, 2000 through December 31, 2000. The IRS audit cycle for the years 2003 through 2006, which began in April 2010, is expected to conclude in 2014. It is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had no liability for unrecognized tax benefits. 12. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS There is no pending or threatened litigation, claim or assessment against the Company that would constitute a material loss contingency. Various litigation, claims or assessments against the Company may arise in the ordinary course of the Company's business. Liabilities for litigations, claims or assessments are established when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company regularly reviews relevant information with respect to liabilities for litigation, regulatory investigations and litigation-related contingencies to be reflected in the Company's financial statements. Based on information currently known by the Company's management, in its opinion, there are no current legal proceedings, likely to have such an effect. However, it is possible that an adverse outcome in a litigation matter, should such a litigation matter arise in the future, could have a material effect on the Company's net income or cash flows.

EXETER REASSURANCE COMPANY, LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 13. OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company had net payables to affiliates of $593 thousand and $877 thousand at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These payables exclude affiliated reinsurance balances discussed in Note 4 and affiliated debt balances discussed in Note 8. See Note 5 for additional related party transactions. 14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS In anticipation of the Mergers, certain risks formerly reinsured by Exeter were re-directed to affiliates through various forms of transactions. For certain risks that were re-directed in October 2014 and November 2014, the agreement terms included that the initial settlement amounts were to be based upon the reinsurance balances at September 30, 2014. The estimated impacts of these transactions to Exeter were a decrease in cash and invested assets of $2.6 billion, a decrease in future policy benefits of $500 million, a decrease in policyholder account balances of $1.2 billion and a decrease in other policy-related balances of $800 million. Also as a result of these transactions, Exeter recorded an estimated net loss of $100 million during the fourth quarter of 2014. These estimated amounts will be adjusted to actual settlement amounts by January 2015, in accordance with the applicable reinsurance recapture agreements' terms. The Company expects to enter into another affiliated reinsurance transaction on or around November 10, 2014. The estimated impacts, based upon the account balances at September 30, 2014, are a decrease in cash and invested assets of $400 million, a decrease in future policy benefits of $500 million, offset by an increase in other policy-related balances of $100 million. It is likely that the final settlement amounts of these reinsurance transactions, that will consider additional available information, will differ from the estimated amounts and it is possible the differences may be material.

ITEM 27. NUMBER OF CONTRACT OWNERS As of September 30, 2014, there were 407,520 owners of qualified contracts and 182,116 owners of non-qualified contracts offered by the Registrant (MetLife Investors USA Separate Account A). ITEM 28. INDEMNIFICATION As described in their respective governing documents, MetLife, Inc.(the ultimate parent of the Depositor and MetLife Investors Distribution Company, the Registrant's underwriter (the "Underwriter")) and the Depositor, each of which is incorporated in the state of Delaware, shall indemnify any person who is made or is threatened to be made a party to any civil or criminal suit, or any administrative or investigative proceeding, by reason of that person's service as a director, officer, or agent of the respective company, under certain circumstances, against liabilities and expenses incurred by such person (except, with respect to the Depositor, as described below regarding MetLife Employees). As described in its governing documents, the Underwriter, which is incorporated in the state of Missouri, may indemnify, under certain circumstances, any person who is made a party to any civil or criminal suit, or made a subject of any administrative or investigative proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, or agent of the Underwriter. The Underwriter also has such other and further powers of indemnification as are not inconsistent with the laws of Missouri. MetLife, Inc. also has adopted a policy to indemnify employees ("MetLife Employees") of MetLife, Inc. or its affiliates ("MetLife"), including any MetLife Employees serving as directors or officers of the Depositor or the Underwriter. Under the policy, MetLife, Inc. will, under certain circumstances, indemnify MetLife Employees for losses and expenses incurred in connection with legal actions threatened or brought against them as a result of their service to MetLife. The policy excludes MetLife directors and others who are not MetLife Employees, whose rights to indemnification, if any, are as described in the charter, bylaws or other arrangement of the relevant company. MetLife, Inc. also maintains a Directors and Officers Liability and Corporate Reimbursement Insurance Policy under which the Registrant, the Depositor and the Underwriter, as well as certain other subsidiaries of MetLife, are covered. MetLife, Inc. also has secured a Financial Institutions Bond. Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the 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 the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the 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, the Company 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.
