SUMMARY: PORTFOLIO ARCHITECT ANNUITY THIS SUMMARY DETAILS SOME OF THE MORE IMPORTANT POINTS THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW AND CONSIDER BEFORE PURCHASING THE CONTRACT. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE PROSPECTUS CAREFULLY. WHAT COMPANY WILL ISSUE MY CONTRACT? Your issuing company is either MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut or MetLife Life and Annuity Company of Connecticut, ("the Company," "We" or "Us"). MetLife Life and Annuity Company of Connecticut does not solicit or issue insurance products in the state of New York. Refer to your Contract for the name of your issuing company. Each company sponsors its own segregated account ("Separate Account"). MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut sponsors the MetLife of CT Fund ABD for Variable Annuities ("Fund ABD"); MetLife Life and Annuity Company of Connecticut sponsors the MetLife of CT Fund ABD II for Variable Annuities ("Fund ABD II"). When we refer to the Separate Account, we are referring to either Fund ABD or Fund ABD II, depending upon your issuing Company. Contracts issued in your state may provide different features and benefits from and impose different costs (such as a waiver of the withdrawal charge on all Annuity Payments) than those described in this prospectus. The Contract is no longer offered to new purchasers. CAN YOU GIVE ME A GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTRACT? We designed the Contract for retirement savings or other long-term investment purposes. The Contract provides a death benefit as well as guaranteed payout options. You direct your payment(s) to one or more of the Variable Funding Options and/or to the Fixed Account that is part of our general account (the "Fixed Account"). We guarantee money directed to the Fixed Account as to principal and interest. The Variable Funding Options fluctuate with the investment performance of the Underlying Funds and are not guaranteed. You can also lose money in the Variable Funding Options. The Contract, like all deferred variable annuity contracts, has two phases: the accumulation phase and the payout phase (annuity period). During the accumulation phase generally, under a Qualified Contract, your pre-tax contributions accumulate on a tax-deferred basis and are taxed as income when you make a withdrawal, presumably when you are in a lower tax bracket. During the accumulation phase, under a Non-qualified Contract, earnings on your after-tax contributions accumulate on a tax-deferred basis and are taxed as income when you make a withdrawal. The payout phase occurs when you begin receiving payments from your Contract. The amount of money you accumulate in your Contract determines the amount of income ("Annuity Payments") you receive during the payout phase. During the payout phase, you may choose one of a number of annuity options. You may receive income payments in the form of a variable annuity, a fixed annuity, or a combination of both. from the Variable Funding Options and/or the Fixed Account. If you elect variable income payments, the dollar amount of your payments may increase or decrease. Once you choose one of the annuity options or income options and begin to receive payments, it cannot be changed. WHO CAN PURCHASE THIS CONTRACT? The Contract is currently available for use in connection with (1) individual non-qualified purchases; (2) rollovers from Individual Retirement Annuities (IRAs); (3) rollovers from other qualified retirement plans and (4) beneficiary-directed transfers of death proceeds from another contract. Qualified Contracts include contracts qualifying under Section 401(a), 403(b), or 408(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Purchase of this Contract through a tax qualified retirement plan ("Plan") does not provide any additional tax deferral benefits beyond those provided by the Plan. Accordingly, if you are purchasing this Contract through a Plan, you should consider purchasing this Contract for its Death Benefit, Annuity Option Benefits, and other non-tax-related benefits. You may purchase the Contract with an initial payment of at least $5000. You may make additional payments of at least $500 at any time during the accumulation phase. No additional payments are allowed if this Contract is purchased with a beneficiary-directed transfer of death proceeds. The ages of the owner and Annuitant determine if you may purchase this product and which optional features are available to you. See The Annuity Contract section for more information. 5
485BPOS8th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 8th
CAN I EXCHANGE MY CURRENT ANNUITY CONTRACT FOR THIS CONTRACT? The Code generally permits you to exchange one annuity contract for another in a "tax-free exchange." Therefore, you can transfer the proceeds from another annuity contract to purchase this Contract. Before making an exchange to acquire this Contract, you should carefully compare this Contract to your current contract. You may have to pay a surrender charge under your current contract to exchange it for this Contract, and this Contract has its own surrender charges that would apply to you. The other fees and charges under this Contract may be higher or lower and the benefits may be different than those of your current contract. In addition, you may have to pay federal income or penalty taxes on the exchange if it does not qualify for tax-free treatment. You should not exchange another contract for this Contract unless you determine, after evaluating all the facts, the exchange is in your best interests. Remember that the person selling you the Contract generally will earn a commission on the sale. IS THERE A RIGHT TO RETURN PERIOD? If you cancel the Contract within twenty days after you receive it, you will receive a full refund of your Contract Value plus any contract charges and premium taxes you paid (but not fees and charges assessed by the Underlying Funds). Where state law requires a different right to return period, or the return of Purchase Payments, the Company will comply. You bear the investment risk on the Purchase Payment allocated to a Variable Funding Option during the right to return period; therefore, the Contract Value we return may be greater or less than your Purchase Payment. If you purchased your Contract as an Individual Retirement Annuity, and you return it within the first seven days after delivery, or longer if your state law permits, we will refund your full Purchase Payment. During the remainder of the right to return period, we will refund your Contract Value (including charges we assessed). We will determine your Contract Value at the close of business on the day we receive a Written Request for a refund. CAN YOU GIVE A GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE VARIABLE FUNDING OPTIONS AND HOW THEY OPERATE? The Variable Funding Options represent Subaccounts of The Separate Account. At your direction, the Separate Account, through its Subaccounts, uses your Purchase Payments to purchase shares of one or more of the Underlying Funds that holds securities consistent with its own investment policy. Depending on market conditions, you may make or lose money in any of these Variable Funding Options. You can transfer among the Variable Funding Options as frequently as you wish without any current tax implications. Currently there is no limit to the number of transfers allowed. We may, in the future, limit the number of transfers allowed. At a minimum, we would always allow one transfer every six months. We reserve the right to restrict transfers that we determine will disadvantage other Contract Owners. You may transfer between the Fixed Account and the Variable Funding Options twice a year (during the 30 days after the six-month Contract Date anniversary), provided the amount is not greater than 15% of the Fixed Account value on that date. Amounts previously transferred from the Fixed Account to the Variable Funding Options may not be transferred back to the Fixed Account for a period of six months from the date of the transfer. WHAT EXPENSES WILL BE ASSESSED UNDER THE CONTRACT? The Contract has insurance features and investment features, and there are costs related to each. We deduct an administrative expense charge and a mortality and expense risk ("M&E") charge daily from amounts you allocate to the Separate Account. We deduct the administrative expense charge at an annual rate of 0.15% and deduct the M&E charge at an annual rate of 1.25. For Contracts with a value of less than $40,000, we also deduct an annual Contract administrative charge of $30. Each Underlying Fund also charges for management costs and other expenses. We will apply a withdrawal charge to withdrawals from the Contract, and will calculate it as a percentage of the Purchase Payments. The maximum percentage is 6%, decreasing to 0% after seven full years. 6
485BPOS9th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 9th
If you select the Enhanced Stepped-Up Provision ("E.S.P."), an additional 0.20% annually will be deducted from amounts in the Variable Funding Options. THIS PROVISION IS NOT AVAILABLE TO A CUSTOMER WHEN EITHER THE ANNUITANT OR OWNER IS AGE 76 OR OLDER ON THE RIDER EFFECTIVE DATE. If you elect a Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit ("GMWB") rider, a charge will be deducted daily from amounts in the Variable Funding Options. There are three GMWB rider options, and the current charge for each rider, on an annual basis, is as follows: GMWB I: 0.40%; GMWB II: 0.50%; and GMWB III: 0.25%. Your current charge will not change unless you are able to reset your benefits, at which time we may modify the charge, which will never exceed 1.00%. If the Variable Liquidity Benefit is selected, there is a maximum charge of 6% of the amounts withdrawn. (Please refer to "Payment Options" for a description of this benefit.) HOW WILL MY PURCHASE PAYMENTS AND WITHDRAWALS BE TAXED? Generally, the payments you make to a Qualified Contract during the accumulation phase are made with before-tax dollars. Generally, you will be taxed on your Purchase Payments and on any earnings when you make a withdrawal or begin receiving Annuity Payments. Under a Non-qualified Contract, payments to the Contract are made with after-tax dollars, and earnings will generally accumulate tax-deferred. You will be taxed on these earnings when they are withdrawn from the Contract. If you are younger than 591/2 when you take money out, you may be charged a 10% federal penalty tax on the amount withdrawn. For owners of Qualified Contracts, if you reach a certain age, you may be required by federal tax laws to begin receiving payments from your annuity or risk paying a penalty tax. In those cases, we can calculate and pay you the minimum required distribution amounts. HOW MAY I ACCESS MY MONEY? You can take withdrawals any time during the accumulation phase. Withdrawal charges may apply, as well as income taxes, and/or a penalty tax on amounts withdrawn. WHAT IS THE DEATH BENEFIT UNDER THE CONTRACT? The death benefit applies upon the first death of the Contract Owner, joint owner, or Annuitant. Assuming you are the Annuitant, the death benefit is as follows: If you die before the Contract is in the payout phase, the person you have chosen as your beneficiary will receive a death benefit. You may also choose to purchase the Enhanced Stepped-Up Provision, which, for a fee, may increase the amount of the death benefit. We calculate the death benefit value at the close of the business day on which our Home Office receives (1) Due Proof of Death and (2) written payment instructions or the election of spousal contract continuance or beneficiary contract continuance. Please refer to the Death Benefit section in the prospectus for more details. WHERE MAY I FIND OUT MORE ABOUT ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUES? The Condensed Financial Information in Appendix A or Appendix B to this prospectus provides more information about Accumulation Unit values. ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL FEATURES? This Contract has other features you may be interested in. These include: - DOLLAR COST AVERAGING. This is a program that allows you to invest a fixed amount of money in Variable Funding Options each month, theoretically giving you a lower average cost per unit over time than a single one-time purchase. Dollar Cost Averaging requires regular investments regardless of fluctuating price levels, and does not guarantee profits or prevent losses in a declining market. Potential investors should consider their financial ability to continue purchases through periods of low price levels. - SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL OPTION. Before the Maturity Date, you can arrange to have money sent to you at set intervals throughout the year. Of course, any applicable income and penalty taxes will apply on amounts withdrawn. Withdrawals in excess of the annual free withdrawal allowance may be subject to a withdrawal charge. - AUTOMATIC REBALANCING. You may elect to have the Company periodically reallocate the values in your Contract to match the rebalancing allocation selected. 7

- ENHANCED STEPPED-UP PROVISION ("E.S.P."). For an additional charge, the total death benefit payable may be increased based on the earnings in your Contract - SPOUSAL CONTRACT CONTINUANCE (SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY). If your spouse is named as an owner and/or beneficiary, and you die prior to the Maturity Date, your spouse may elect to continue the Contract as owner rather than have the death benefit paid to the beneficiary. This feature applies to a spousal joint Contract Owner and/or beneficiary only. - BENEFICIARY CONTRACT CONTINUANCE (NOT PERMITTED FOR NON-NATURAL BENEFICIARIES). If you die before the Maturity Date, and if the value of any beneficiary's portion of the death benefit is between $20,000 and $1,000,000 as of the date of your death, that beneficiary(s) may elect to continue his/her portion of the Contract rather than have the death benefit paid to the beneficiary. - GUARANTEED MINIMUM WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT ("GMWB" OR "PRINCIPAL GUARANTEE"). For an additional charge, we will guarantee the periodic return of your investment. Under this benefit, we will pay you a percentage of your investment every year until your investment has been returned in full, regardless of market performance. Depending on when you elect to begin receiving payments and which GMWB rider you select, the maximum amount of your investment that you receive each year is 5% or 10%. When you add Purchase Payments to your Contract, we include them as part of the guarantee. In the future, however, we may discontinue including additional Purchase Payments as part of the guarantee. The guarantee is subject to restrictions on withdrawals and other restrictions. 8

EXAMPLE The example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include Contract Owner transaction expenses, contract fees, separate account annual expenses, and Underlying Fund total annual operating expenses. The example does not represent past or future expenses. Your actual expenses may be more or less than those shown. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated and that your investment has a 5% return each year. The example reflects the annual contract administrative charge, factoring in that the charge is waived for Contracts over a certain value. Additionally, the example is based on the minimum and maximum Underlying Fund total annual operating expenses shown above, and does not reflect any Underlying Fund fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. The example assumes you have allocated all of your Contract Value to either the Underlying Fund with the maximum total annual operating expenses or the Underlying Fund with the minimum total annual operating expenses. Your actual expenses will be less than those shown if you do not elect all of the available optional benefits. EXAMPLE -- This example assumes that you have elected the E.S.P. optional death benefit and the Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (assuming the maximum 1.00% charge applies in all Contract Years).

THE ANNUITY CONTRACT Portfolio Architect Annuity is a Contract between the Contract Owner ("you") and the Company. This is the prospectus -- it is not the Contract. The prospectus highlights many Contract provisions to focus your attention on the Contract's essential features. Your rights and obligations under the Contract will be determined by the language of the Contract itself. When you receive your Contract, we suggest you read it promptly and carefully. There may be differences in your Contract from the descriptions in this prospectus because of the requirements of the state where we issued your Contract. We will include any such differences in your Contract. The Company offers several different annuities that your investment professional may be authorized to offer to you. Each annuity offers different features and benefits that may be appropriate for you. In particular, the annuities differ based on variations in the standard and optional death benefit protection provided for your beneficiaries, the availability of optional living benefits, the ability to access your Contract Value if necessary and the charges that you will be subject to if you make a withdrawal or surrender the annuity. The separate account charges and other charges may be 15
485BPOS18th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 18th
different between each annuity we offer. Optional death benefits and living benefits are subject to a separate charge for the additional protections they offer to you and your beneficiaries. Furthermore, annuities that offer greater flexibility to access your Contract Value generally are subject to higher separate account charges than annuities that deduct charges if you make a withdrawal or surrender. We encourage you to evaluate the fees, expenses, benefits and features of this annuity against those of other investment products, including other annuity products offered by us and other insurance companies. Before purchasing this or any other investment product you should consider whether the product you purchase is consistent with your risk tolerance, investment objectives, investment time horizon, financial and tax situation, liquidity needs and how you intend to use the annuity. You make Purchase Payments to us and we credit them to your Contract. We promise to pay you an income, in the form of Annuity Payments, beginning on a future date that you choose, the Maturity Date. The Purchase Payments accumulate tax deferred in the funding options of your choice. We offer multiple Variable Funding Options. We may also offer a Fixed Account option. Where permitted by law, we reserve the right to restrict Purchase Payments into the Fixed Account whenever the credited interest rate on the Fixed Account is equal to the minimum guaranteed interest rate specified under the Contract. The Contract Owner assumes the risk of gain or loss according to the performance of the Variable Funding Options. The Contract Value is the amount of Purchase Payments, plus or minus any investment experience on the amounts you allocate to the Separate Account ("Separate Account Contract Value") or interest on the amounts you allocate to the Fixed Account ("Fixed Account Contract Value"). The Contract Value also reflects all withdrawals made and charges deducted. There is generally no guarantee that at the Maturity Date the Contract Value will equal or exceed the total Purchase Payments made under the Contract. The date the Contract and its benefits become effective is referred to as the Contract Date. Each 12-month period following the Contract Date is called a Contract Year. Certain changes and elections must be made in writing to the Company. Where the term "Written Request" is used, it means that you must send written information to our Home Office in a form and content satisfactory to us. The Contract is no longer offered to new purchasers. The ages of the owner and Annuitant determine if you may purchase this product and which optional features are available to you. [Enlarge/Download Table] MAXIMUM AGE BASED ON THE OLDER OF THE OWNER AND DEATH BENEFIT/OPTIONAL FEATURE ANNUITANT ON THE CONTRACT DATE -------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- Standard Death Benefit Age 85 Enhanced Stepped-Up Provision (E.S.P.) Age 75 Since optional death benefits carry higher charges, you should consider the ages of the owner and Annuitant when electing these benefits, as the additional value provided by the benefit may be significantly reduced or eliminated depending on the ages of the owner and Annuitant at the time of election. Purchase of this Contract through a tax qualified retirement plan or IRA does not provide any additional tax deferral benefits beyond those provided by the plan or the IRA. Accordingly, if you are purchasing this Contract through a plan or IRA, you should consider purchasing this Contract for its death benefit, annuity option benefits, and other non-tax-related benefits. You should consult with your tax adviser to determine if this Contract is appropriate for you. 16

CONTRACT OWNER INQUIRIES Any questions you have about your Contract should be directed to our Home Office at 1-800-842-9368. PURCHASE PAYMENTS Your initial Purchase Payment is due and payable before the Contract becomes effective. The initial Purchase Payment must be at least $5,000. You may make additional payments of at least $500 at any time. No additional payments are allowed if this Contract is purchased with a beneficiary-directed transfer of death benefit proceeds. Under certain circumstances, we may waive the minimum Purchase Payment requirement. Purchase Payments over $1,000,000 may be made only with our prior consent. We will apply the initial Purchase Payment less any applicable premium tax within two business days after we receive it at our Home Office with a properly completed application or order request. If your request or other information accompanying the initial Purchase Payment is incomplete when received, we will hold the Purchase Payment for up to five business days. If we cannot obtain the necessary information within five business days, we will return the Purchase Payment in full, unless you specifically consent for us to keep it until you provide the necessary information. We will credit subsequent Purchase Payments to a Contract on the same business day we receive it, if it is received in good order by our Home Office by 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. A business day is any day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for regular trading (except when trading is restricted due to an emergency as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission). ACCUMULATION UNITS The period between the Contract Date and the Maturity Date is the Accumulation Period. During the Accumulation Period, an Accumulation Unit is used to calculate the value of a Contract. Each Variable Funding Option has a corresponding Accumulation Unit value. The Accumulation Units are valued each business day and their values may increase or decrease from day to day. The daily change in value of an Accumulation Unit each day is based on the investment performance of the corresponding Underlying Fund, and the deduction of separate account charges shown in the Fee Table in this prospectus. The number of Accumulation Units we will credit to your Contract once we receive a Purchase Payment is determined by dividing the amount directed to each Variable Funding Option by the value of its Accumulation Unit. Normally, we calculate the value of an Accumulation Unit for each Variable Funding Option as of the close of regular trading (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) each day the New York Stock Exchange is open. After the value is calculated, we credit your Contract. During the Annuity Period (i.e., after the Maturity Date), you are credited with Annuity Units. THE VARIABLE FUNDING OPTIONS You choose the Variable Funding Options to which you allocate your Purchase Payments. From time to time we may make new Variable Funding Options available. These Variable Funding Options are Subaccounts of the Separate Account. The Subaccounts invest in the Underlying Funds. You are not investing directly in the Underlying Fund. Each Underlying Fund is a portfolio of an open-end management investment company that is registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940. These Underlying Funds are not publicly traded and are offered only through variable annuity and variable life insurance policies, and in some instances, certain retirement plans. They are not the same retail mutual funds as those offered outside of a variable annuity or variable life insurance product, although the investment practices and fund names may be similar, and the portfolio managers may be identical. Accordingly, the performance of the retail mutual fund is likely to be different from that of the Underlying Fund, and Contract Owners should not compare the two. 17

We select the Underlying Funds offered through this Contract based on several criteria, including asset class coverage, the strength of the adviser's or sub-adviser'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 Underlying Fund's adviser or sub-adviser is one of our affiliates or whether the Underlying Fund, its adviser, its sub-adviser(s), or an affiliate will compensate us or our affiliates for providing certain administrative, marketing and other support services that would otherwise be provided by the Underlying Fund, the Underlying Fund's investment adviser, or its distributor. In some cases, we have included Underlying Funds based on recommendations made by broker-dealer firms. When we develop a variable product in cooperation with a fund family or distributor (e.g., a "private label" product), we will generally include Underlying Funds based on recommendations made by the fund family or distributor, whose selection criteria may differ from our selection criteria. We review the Underlying Funds periodically and may remove an Underlying Fund or limit its availability to new Purchase Payments and/or transfers of Contract Value if we determine that the Underlying Fund no longer meets one or more of the selection criteria, and/or if the Underlying Fund has not attracted significant allocations from owners. We do not provide investment advice and do not recommend or endorse any particular Underlying Fund. In certain circumstances, our ability to remove or replace an Underlying Fund may be limited by the terms of a five-year agreement between MetLife, Inc. ("MetLife") and Legg Mason, Inc. ("Legg Mason") relating to the use of certain Underlying Funds advised by Legg Mason affiliates. The agreement sets forth the conditions under which we can remove an Underlying Fund, which, in some cases, may differ from our selection criteria. In addition, during the term of the agreement, subject to our fiduciary and other legal duties, we are generally obligated in the first instance to consider Underlying Funds advised by Legg Mason affiliates in seeking to make a substitution for an Underlying Fund advised by a Legg Mason affiliate. The agreement was originally entered into on July 1, 2005 by MetLife and certain affiliates of Citigroup Inc. ("Citigroup") as part of MetLife's acquisition of The Travelers Insurance Company and The Travelers Life and Annuity Company from Citigroup. Legg Mason replaced the Citigroup affiliates as a party to the agreement when Citigroup sold its asset management business to Legg Mason. If investment in the Underlying Funds or a particular Underlying Fund is no longer possible, in our judgment becomes inappropriate for the purposes of the Contract, or for any other reason in our sole discretion, we may substitute another Underlying Fund or Underlying Funds without your consent. The substituted Underlying Fund(s) 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 Underlying Funds to allocations of Purchase Payments or Contract Value, or both, at any time in our sole discretion. You will find detailed information about the Underlying Funds and their inherent risks in the current prospectuses for the Underlying Funds. Since each option has varying degrees of risk, please read the prospectuses carefully. There is no assurance that any of the Underlying Funds will meet its investment objectives. Contact your registered representative or call 1-800-842-9406 to request copies of the prospectuses. ADMINISTRATIVE, MARKETING AND SUPPORT SERVICE FEES. As described above, an investment adviser (other than our affiliates MetLife Advisers, LLC and Met Investors Advisory LLC) or sub-adviser of an Underlying Fund, or its affiliates, may compensate us and/or certain of our affiliates for administrative or other services relating to the Underlying Funds. The amount of this compensation is not deducted from Fund assets and does not decrease the Fund's investment return. The amount of the compensation is based on a percentage of assets of the Underlying Fund attributable to the Contracts and certain other variable insurance products that we and our affiliates issue. These percentages differ and some advisers or sub-advisers (or other affiliates) may pay us more than others. These percentages currently range up to 0.50%. Additionally, an investment adviser or sub-adviser of an Underlying Fund or its affiliates may provide us with wholesaling services that assist in 18
485BPOS21st Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 21st
the distribution of the Contracts and may pay the Company and/or certain of our affiliates amounts to participate in sales meetings. These amounts may be significant and may provide the adviser or sub-adviser (or their affiliate) with increased access to persons involved in the distribution of the Contracts. We and/or certain of our affiliated insurance companies are joint members of our affiliated investment advisers MetLife Advisers, LLC and Met Investors Advisory LLC, which are organized as "limited liability companies." Our membership interests entitle us to profit distributions if the adviser makes a profit with respect to the advisory fees it receives from the Underlying Funds. We may benefit accordingly from assets allocated to the Underlying Funds to the extent they result in profits to the advisers. (See "Fee Table -- Underlying Fund Fees and Expenses" for information on the management fees paid by the Underlying Funds and the Statement of Additional Information for information on the management fees paid by the advisers to the sub-advisers.) Certain Underlying Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Distribution Plan is described in more detail in the Underlying Fund's prospectus. (See "Fee Table -- Underlying Fund Fees and Expenses" and "Other Information -- Distribution of Variable Annuity Contracts.") The payments are deducted from the assets of the Underlying Funds and are paid to our distributor, MLI Distribution LLC. These payments decrease the Funds' investment return. The agreement described above between MetLife and Legg Mason also obligates Legg Mason affiliates to continue on their current terms certain arrangements under which we receive payments in connection with our provision of administrative, marketing or other support services to the Underlying Funds advised or sub-advised by Legg Mason affiliates. We make certain payments to American Funds Distributors, Inc., principal underwriter for the American Funds Insurance Series. (See "Other Information -- Distribution of Variable Annuity Contracts.") Each Underlying Fund has different investment objectives and risks. The Underlying Fund prospectuses contain more detailed information on each Underlying Fund investment strategy, investment adviser and fees. You may obtain an Underlying Fund prospectus by calling 1-800-842-9368 or through your registered representative do not guarantee the investment results of the Underlying Funds.

Please see Appendix C for more information. CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS GENERAL We deduct the charges described below. The charges are for the service and benefits we provide, costs and expenses we incur, and risks we assume under the Contracts. Services and benefits we provide include: - the ability for you to make withdrawals and surrenders under the Contracts - the death benefit paid on the death of the Contract Owner, Annuitant, or first of the joint owners - the available funding options and related programs (including dollar-cost averaging, portfolio rebalancing, and systematic withdrawal programs) - administration of the annuity options available under the Contracts and - the distribution of various reports to Contract Owners Costs and expenses we incur include: - losses associated with various overhead and other expenses associated with providing the services and benefits provided by the Contracts - sales and marketing expenses including commission payments to your sales agent and - other costs of doing business Risks we assume include: - that Annuitants may live longer than estimated when the annuity factors under the Contracts were established - that the amount of the death benefit will be greater than the Contract Value and 24
485BPOS27th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 27th
- that the costs of providing the services and benefits under the Contracts will exceed the charges deducted We may also deduct a charge for taxes. Unless otherwise specified, charges are deducted proportionately from all funding options in which you are invested. The amount of a charge may not necessarily correspond to the costs associated with providing the services or benefits indicated by the designated charge. For example, the withdrawal charge we collect may not fully cover all of the sales and distribution expenses we actually incur. The amount of any fee or charge is not impacted by an outstanding loan. We may also profit on one or more of the charges. We may use any such profits for any corporate purpose, including the payment of sales expenses. WITHDRAWAL CHARGE We do not deduct a sales charge from Purchase Payments when they are made to the Contract. However, a withdrawal charge will apply if Purchase Payments are withdrawn before they have been in the Contract for seven years. We will assess the charge as a percentage of the Purchase Payment withdrawn as follows: [Download Table] YEARS SINCE PURCHASE PAYMENT MADE WITHDRAWAL CHARGE ------------------------------------------ ------------------ GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO BUT LESS THAN 0 years 2 years 6% 2 years 4 years 5% 4 years 5 years 4% 5 years 6 years 3% 6 years 7 years 2% 7+ years 0% 25
485BPOS28th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 28th
For purposes of the withdrawal charge calculation, withdrawals are deemed to be taken first from: (a) any Purchase Payment to which no withdrawal charge applies then (b) any remaining free withdrawal allowance (as described below) (after being reduced by (a)), then (c) any remaining Purchase Payment to which a withdrawal charge applies (on a first-in, first-out basis), then (d) any Contract earnings Unless you instruct us otherwise, we will deduct the withdrawal charge from the amount requested. We will not deduct a withdrawal charge if Purchase Payments are distributed: - due to the death of the Contract Owner or the Annuitant (with no Contingent Annuitant surviving) - if an annuity payout has begun - if an income option of at least five year's duration is begun - due to a minimum distribution under our minimum distribution rules then in effect FREE WITHDRAWAL ALLOWANCE Beginning in the second Contract Year, you may withdraw up to 10% of the Contract Value annually. We calculate the available withdrawal amount as of the end of the previous Contract Year. The free withdrawal provision applies to partial withdrawals only. Any withdrawal is subject to federal income taxes on the taxable portion. In addition, a 10% federal penalty may be assessed on any withdrawal if the Contract Owner is under age 59 1/2. You should consult with your tax adviser regarding the tax consequences of a withdrawal. ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES There are two administrative charges: the $30 annual Contract administrative charge and the administrative expense charge. We will deduct the annual Contract administrative charge on the fourth Friday of each August. This charge compensates us for expenses incurred in establishing and maintaining the Contract and we will prorate this charge (i.e. calculate) from the date of purchase. We will also prorate this charge if you surrender your Contract, or if we terminate your Contract. We will not deduct a Contract administrative charge from the Fixed Account or: (1) from the distribution of death proceeds (2) after an annuity payout has begun or (3) if the Contract Value on the date of assessment equals or is greater than $40,000 We deduct the administrative expense charge (sometimes called "Subaccount administrative charge") on each business day from amounts allocated to the Variable Funding Options to compensate the Company for certain related administrative and operating expenses. The charge equals, on an annual basis, 0.15% of the daily net asset value allocated to each of the Variable Funding Options, and is reflected in our accumulation and Annuity Unit value calculations. MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE Each business day, we deduct a mortality and expense risk ("M&E") charge from amounts we hold in the Variable Funding Options. We reflect the deduction in our calculation of accumulation and Annuity Unit values. The charges stated are the maximum for this product, and are equal to 1.25% annually. We reserve the right to lower this charge at any time. This charge compensates the 26
485BPOS29th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 29th
Company for risks assumed, benefits provided and expenses incurred, including the payment of commissions to your sales agent. VARIABLE LIQUIDITY BENEFIT CHARGE If the Variable Liquidity Benefit is selected, there is a maximum charge of 6% of the amounts withdrawn. This charge is not assessed during the accumulation phase. We will assess the charge as a percentage of the total benefit received as follows: [Download Table] YEARS SINCE INITIAL PURCHASE PAYMENT WITHDRAWAL CHARGE ----------------------------------------- ----------------- GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO BUT LESS THAN 0 years 2 years 6% 2 years 4 years 5% 4 years 5 years 4% 5 years 6 years 3% 6 years 7 years 2% 7+ years 0% Please refer to Payment Options for a description of this benefit. ENHANCED STEPPED-UP PROVISION ("E.S.P.") CHARGE If the E.S.P. option is selected, a charge is deducted each business day from amounts held in the Variable Funding Options. The charge equals, on an annual basis, 0.20% of the amounts held in each funding option. The E.S.P. option is available if the owner and Annuitant are both under age 76 on the Contract Date. GUARANTEED MINIMUM WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT CHARGE If you elect to add a GMWB rider to your Contract, a charge is deducted each business day from amounts held in the Variable Funding Options. The charge depends on which GWMB rider you select. The current charge for each rider is as follows: GMWB I: 0.40%; GMWB II: 0.50%; and GMWB III: 0.25%. Your current charge will not change unless you are able to reset your benefits, at which time we may modify the charge, which will never exceed 1.00%. VARIABLE FUNDING OPTION EXPENSES We summarized the charges and expenses of the Underlying Funds in the fee table. Please review the prospectus for each Underlying Fund for a more complete description of that fund and its expenses. Underlying Fund expenses are not fixed or guaranteed and are subject to change by the Fund. PREMIUM TAX Certain state and local governments charge premium taxes ranging from 0% to 3.5%, depending upon jurisdiction. We are responsible for paying these taxes and will determine the method used to recover premium tax expenses incurred. We will deduct any applicable premium taxes from your Contract Value either upon death, surrender, annuitization, or at the time you make Purchase Payments to the Contract, but no earlier than when we have a tax liability under state law. CHANGES IN TAXES BASED UPON PREMIUM OR VALUE If there is any change in a law assessing taxes against the Company based upon premiums, Contract gains or value of the Contract, we reserve the right to charge you proportionately for this tax. 27

TRANSFERS Subject to the limitations described below, you may transfer all or part of your Contract Value between Variable Funding Options at any time up to 30 days before the Maturity Date. After the Maturity Date, you may make transfers only if allowed by your Contract or with our consent. Transfer requests received at our Home Office that are in good order before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) will be processed according to the value(s) next computed following the close of business. Transfer requests received on a non-business day or after the close of the NYSE will be processed based on the value(s) next computed on the next business day. Where permitted by state law, we reserve the right to restrict transfers from the Variable Funding Options to the Fixed Account whenever the credited interest rate on the Fixed Account is equal to the minimum guaranteed interest rate specified under the Contract. Since each Underlying Fund may have different overall expenses, a transfer of Contract Values from one Variable Funding Option to another could result in your investment becoming subject to higher or lower expenses. Also, when making transfers, you should consider the inherent risks associated with the Variable Funding Options to which your Contract Value is allocated. MARKET TIMING/EXCESSIVE TRADING Frequent requests from Contract Owners to transfer Contract Value may dilute the value of an Underlying Fund'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 Underlying Fund and the reflection of that change in the Underlying Fund's share price ("arbitrage trading"). Regardless of the existence of pricing inefficiencies, frequent transfers may also increase brokerage and administrative costs of the Underlying Funds and may disrupt management strategy, requiring an Underlying Fund to maintain a high cash position and possibly resulting in lost investment opportunities and forced liquidations ("disruptive trading"). Accordingly, arbitrage trading and disruptive trading activities (referred to collectively as "market timing") may adversely affect the long-term performance of the Underlying Funds, 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 Underlying Funds, i.e., the Western Asset Management High Yield Bond Portfolio, American Funds Global Growth Fund, Credit Suisse Trust Emerging Market Portfolio, Dreyfus VIF Developing Leaders Portfolio, Oppenheimer Global Equity Portfolio, Third Avenue Small Cap Growth Portfolio, Templeton Developing Markets Securities Fund, Templeton Foreign Securities Fund, Templeton Growth Securities Fund, Janus Aspen Series Global Technology Portfolio, Janus Aspen Series Worldwide Growth Portfolio, Lazard Retirement Small Cap Portfolio, Putnam VT International Equity Portfolio, Putnam VT Small Cap Value Fund, Legg Mason Partners Variable Small Cap Growth Portfolio, Lord Abbett Bond Debenture Portfolio, Federated High Yield Portfolio, Harris Oakmark International Portfolio and Pioneer Strategic Income Portfolio (the "Monitored Portfolios"), and we monitor transfer activity in those 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 of the Monitored Portfolios, in a three-month period there were two or more "round-trips" of a certain dollar amount or greater. A round-trip is defined as a transfer in followed by a transfer out within the next 10 calendar days, or a transfer out followed by a transfer in within the next 10 calendar days. In the case of a Contract that has been restricted previously, a single round-trip of a certain dollar amount or greater will trigger the transfer restrictions described below. We do not believe that other Underlying Funds present a significant opportunity to engage in arbitrage trading and therefore do not monitor transfer activity in those Underlying Funds. We may change the Monitored Portfolios at any time without notice in our sole discretion. In addition to monitoring transfer 28
485BPOS31st Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 31st
activity in certain Underlying Funds, we rely on the Underlying Funds to bring any potential disruptive trading activity they identify to our attention for investigation on a case-by-case basis. We will also investigate other harmful transfer activity that we identify from time to time. We may revise these policies and procedures in our sole discretion at any time without prior notice. Our policies and procedures may result in transfer restrictions being applied to deter market timing. Currently, when we detect transfer activity in the Monitored Portfolios that exceeds our current transfer limits, or other transfer activity that we believe may be harmful to other Owners or other persons who have an interest in the Contracts, we will exercise our contractual right to restrict your number of transfers to one every six months. In addition, we also reserve the right, but do not have the obligation, to further restrict the right to request transfers by any market timing firm or any other third party who has been authorized to initiate transfers on behalf of multiple Contract Owners. We may, among other things: - reject the transfer instructions of any agent acting under a power of attorney on behalf of more than one Owner, or - reject the transfer or exchange instructions of individual Owners who have executed pre-authorized transfer forms which are submitted by market timing firms or other third parties on behalf of more than one Owner. 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 evaluate trading patterns for market timing. The detection and deterrence of harmful transfer activity involves judgments that are inherently subjective, such as the decision to monitor only those Underlying Funds 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 market timing in any Underlying Fund and there are no arrangements in place to permit any Contract Owner to engage in market timing; we apply our policies and procedures without exception, waiver, or special arrangement. The Underlying Funds may have adopted their own policies and procedures with respect to frequent purchases and redemptions of their respective shares, and we reserve the right to enforce these policies and procedures. For example, Underlying Funds may assess a redemption fee (which we reserve the right to collect) on shares held for a relatively short period. The prospectuses for the Underlying Funds describe any such policies and procedures, which may be more or less restrictive than the policies and procedures we have adopted. Contract Owners and other persons with interests in the Contracts should be aware that we currently may not have the contractual obligation or the operational capacity to apply the frequent trading policies and procedures of the Underlying Funds. However, under rules recently adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, effective October 16, 2006 we will be required to (1) enter into a written agreement with each Underlying Fund or its principal underwriter that will obligate us to provide to the Underlying Fund promptly upon request, certain information about trading activity of individual Contract Owners, and (2) execute instructions from the Underlying Funds to restrict or prohibit further Purchase Payments or transfers by specific Contract Owners who violate the frequent trading policies established by the Underlying Fund. In addition, Contract Owners and other persons with interests in the Contracts should be aware that some Underlying Funds may receive "omnibus" purchase and redemption orders from other insurance companies or intermediaries such as retirement plans. 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 Underlying Funds in their ability to apply their frequent trading policies and procedures. In addition, the other insurance companies and/or retirement plans may have different policies and procedures or may not have any 29
485BPOS32nd Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 32nd
such policies and procedures because of contractual limitations. For these reasons, we cannot guarantee that the Underlying Funds (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 Underlying Funds. 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 Underlying Funds, including any refusal or restriction on purchases or redemptions of their shares as a result of their own policies and procedures on market timing activities (even if an entire omnibus order is rejected due to the market timing activity of a single Contract Owner). You should read the Underlying Fund prospectuses for more details. DOLLAR COST AVERAGING Dollar cost averaging or the pre-authorized transfer program (the "DCA Program") allows you to transfer a set dollar amount to other funding options on a monthly or quarterly basis during the accumulation phase of the Contract. Using this method, you will purchase more Accumulation Units in a funding option if the value per unit is low and will purchase fewer Accumulation Units if the value per unit is high. Therefore, you may achieve a lower-than-average cost per unit in the long run if you have the financial ability to continue the program over a long enough period of time. Dollar cost averaging does not assure a profit or protect against a loss. You may elect the DCA Program through Written Request or other method acceptable to us. You must have a minimum total Contract Value of $5,000 to enroll in the DCA Program. The minimum amount that may be transferred through this program is $400. There is no additional fee to participate in the DCA program. You may establish pre-authorized transfers of Contract Values from the Fixed Account, subject to certain restrictions. Under the DCA Program, automated transfers from the Fixed Account may not deplete your Fixed Account Value in less than twelve months from your enrollment in the DCA Program. In addition to the DCA Program, within the Fixed Account, we may credit increased interest rates to Contract Owners under an administrative Special DCA Program established at our discretion, depending on availability and state law. Under this program, the Contract Owner may pre-authorize level transfers to any of the funding options under either a 6 Month, 12 Month or 24 Month Program. The Programs will generally have different credited interest rates. Under each Program, the interest rate can accrue up to the applicable number of months on the remaining amounts in the Special DCA Program and we must transfer all Purchase Payments and accrued interest on a level basis to the selected funding options in the applicable time period. For example, under the 12 Month Program, the interest rate can accrue up to 12 months on the remaining amounts in the Special DCA Program and we must transfer all Purchase Payments and accrued interest in this Program on a level basis to the selected funding options in 12 months. The pre-authorized transfers will begin after the initial Program Purchase Payment and complete enrollment instructions are received by the Company. If we do not receive complete Program enrollment instructions within 15 days of receipt of the initial Program Purchase Payment, the entire balance in the Program will be transferred into the Money Market Variable Funding Option. You may start or stop participation in the DCA Program at any time, but you must give the Company at least 30 days' notice to change any automated transfer instructions that are currently in place. If you stop the Special DCA Program and elect to remain in the Fixed Account, we will credit your Contract Value for the remainder of 6 or 12 months with the interest rate for non-Program funds. You may only have one DCA Program or Special DCA Program in place at one time. We will allocate any subsequent Purchase Payments we receive within the Program period selected to the 30
485BPOS33rd Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 33rd
current funding options over the remainder of that Program transfer period, unless you direct otherwise. All provisions and terms of the Contract apply to the DCA and Special DCA Programs, including provisions relating to the transfer of money between funding options. Transfers made under any DCA Program will not be counted for purposes of restrictions we may impose on the number of transfers permitted under the Contract. We reserve the right to suspend or modify transfer privileges at any time and to assess a processing fee for this service. If the Fixed Account is not available as a funding option, you may still participate in the DCA program. ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY Any time before the Maturity Date, you may redeem all or any portion of the Cash Surrender Value, that is, the Contract Value less any withdrawal charge, outstanding loans, and any premium tax not previously deducted. Unless you submit a Written Request specifying the fixed or Variable Funding Option(s) from which we are to withdraw amounts, we will make the withdrawal on a pro rata basis. We will determine the Cash Surrender Value as of the close of business after we receive your surrender request at our Home Office. The Cash Surrender Value may be more or less than the Purchase Payments you made. You may not make withdrawals during the annuity period. For amounts allocated to the Variable Funding Options, we may defer payment of any Cash Surrender Value for a period of up to five business days after the Written Request is received. For amounts allocated to the Fixed Account, we may defer payment of any Cash Surrender Value for a period up to six months. In either case, it is our intent to pay as soon as possible. We cannot process requests for withdrawals that are not in good order. We will contact you if there is a deficiency causing a delay and will advise what is needed to act upon the withdrawal request. If your Contract is issued as part of a 403(b) plan, there are restrictions on your ability to make withdrawals from your Contract. You may not withdraw contributions or earnings made to your Contract after December 31, 1988 unless you are (a) age 59 1/2, (b) no longer employed, (c) deceased, (d) disabled, or (e) experiencing a financial hardship. Even if you are experiencing a financial hardship, you may only withdraw contributions, not earnings. You should consult with your tax adviser before making a withdrawal from your Contract. SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWALS Before the Maturity Date, you may choose to withdraw a specified dollar amount (at least $100) on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis. We will deduct any applicable premium taxes and withdrawal charge. To elect systematic withdrawals, you must have a Contract Value of at least $15,000 and you must make the election on the form we provide. We will surrender Accumulation Units pro rata from all funding options in which you have an interest, unless you instruct us otherwise. You may begin or discontinue systematic withdrawals at any time by notifying us in writing, but you must give at least 30 days' notice to change any systematic withdrawal instructions that are currently in place. We reserve the right to discontinue offering systematic withdrawals or to assess a processing fee for this service upon 30 days' written notice to Contract Owners (where allowed by state law). Each systematic withdrawal is subject to federal income taxes on the taxable portion. In addition, a 10% federal penalty tax may be assessed on systematic withdrawals if the Contract Owner is under age 59 1/2. There is no additional fee for electing systematic withdrawals. You should consult with your tax adviser regarding the tax consequences of systematic withdrawals. LOANS Loans may be available under your Contract. Loans may only be taken against funds allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account. If available, all loan provisions are described in your Contract or 31

loan agreement. You may not elect the GMWB benefit and have a loan on your Contract at the same time. If you anticipate needing a loan, you should not purchase the GMWB benefit. OWNERSHIP PROVISIONS TYPES OF OWNERSHIP CONTRACT OWNER The Contract belongs to the Contract Owner named in the Contract (on the Contract Specifications page), or to any other person to whom you subsequently assign the Contract. You may only make an assignment of ownership or a collateral assignment for Non-qualified Contracts. You have sole power during the Annuitant's lifetime to exercise any rights and to receive all benefits given in the Contract provided you have not named an irrevocable beneficiary and provided you have not assigned the Contract. You receive all payments while the Annuitant is alive unless you direct them to an alternate recipient. An alternate recipient does not become the Contract Owner. If this Contract is purchased by a beneficiary of another contract who directly transferred the death proceeds due under that contract, he/she will be granted the same rights the owner has under the Contract except that he/she cannot transfer ownership, take a loan or make additional Purchase Payments. Joint Owner. For Non-qualified Contracts only, you may name joint owners (e.g., spouses) in a Written Request before the Contract is in effect. Joint owners may independently exercise transfers allowed under the Contract. All other rights of ownership must be exercised by both owners. Joint owners own equal shares of any benefits accruing or payments made to them. BENEFICIARY You name the beneficiary in a Written Request. The beneficiary has the right to receive any death benefit proceeds remaining under the Contract upon the death of the Annuitant or the Contract Owner. If more than one beneficiary survives the Annuitant or Contract Owner, they will share equally in benefits unless you recorded different shares with the Company by Written Request before the death of the Annuitant or Contract Owner. In the case of a non-spousal beneficiary or a spousal beneficiary who has not chosen to assume the Contract, we will not transfer or otherwise remove the death benefit proceeds from either the Variable Funding Options or the Fixed Account, as most recently elected by the Contract Owner, until the Death Report Date. Unless you have named an irrevocable beneficiary you have the right to change any beneficiary by Written Request during the lifetime of the Annuitant and while the Contract continues. ANNUITANT The Annuitant is designated in the Contract (on the Contract Specifications page), and is the individual on whose life the Maturity Date and the amount of the monthly Annuity Payments depend. You may not change the Annuitant after your Contract is in effect. Contingent Annuitant. You may name one individual as a Contingent Annuitant. A Contingent Annuitant may not be changed, deleted or added to the Contract after the Contract Date. If the Annuitant who is not the owner dies prior to the Maturity Date, and the Contingent Annuitant is still living: - the death benefit will not be payable upon the Annuitant's death - the Contingent Annuitant becomes the Annuitant and - all other rights and benefits will continue in effect 32
485BPOS35th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 35th
When a Contingent Annuitant becomes the Annuitant, the Maturity Date remains the same as previously in effect. If the Annuitant is also the owner, a death benefit is paid to the beneficiary regardless of whether or not there is a Contingent Annuitant. LIVING BENEFITS GUARANTEED MINIMUM WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT ("GMWB" OR "PRINCIPAL GUARANTEE") For an additional charge, you may elect an optional rider for your Contract that provides a Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit, or "GMWB". A GMWB rider is designed to protect your investment from poor market performance, as long as you do not withdraw more than a certain amount from your Contract each year. AVAILABILITY AND ELIGIBILITY We offer different GMWB riders so that you can choose the level of benefits and costs that makes the most sense for you. This prospectus offers three different GMWB riders, and the availability of each depends on when you purchase your Contract and your state of residence. The three GMWB riders described in this prospectus are called "GMWB I", "GMWB II", and "GMWB III"; we may refer to any one of these as GMWB. The availability of each rider is shown below. [Enlarge/Download Table] NAME OF RIDER: GMWB I GMWB II GMWB III ALSO CALLED: Principal Principal Principal Guarantee Guarantee Guarantee Value AVAILABILITY: Not available for purchase on or after March 21, Available on or after Available on or after 2005, unless GMWB II is not approved in your state March 21, 2005 if approved March 21, 2005 if approved in your state in your state You may elect a GMWB rider only at the time of your initial purchase of the Contract. You may not elect a GMWB rider if you have also elected the GMAB rider offered under this Contract. You may not elect a GMWB rider if you have a loan outstanding, and you may not take out a loan if you elect a GMWB rider. REMAINING BENEFIT BASE ("RBB") For all GMWB riders, the amount of your investment that is guaranteed is called the "remaining benefit base" or "RBB." Your initial RBB is equal to your initial Purchase Payment if you elect GMWB when you purchase your Contract. The RBB is not a lump sum guarantee, rather, it is the amount that we guarantee to return to you through a series of payments that annually do not exceed a percentage of your RBB. ANNUAL WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT ("AWB") The annual percentage of your RBB that is available for withdrawal is called the "annual withdrawal benefit" or "AWB". Each year you may take withdrawals that do not exceed your AWB until your RBB is depleted. Each year you may take your AWB monthly, annually, or on any payment schedule you request. You may take withdrawals in any dollar amount up to your AWB without affecting your guarantee. If you choose to receive only a part of, or none of, your AWB in any given year, your AWB in any subsequent year will not be increased. In that case you are choosing to deplete your RBB over a longer period of time. The AWB is a percentage of your RBB and depends on which GMWB rider you select. Your initial AWB is calculated as a percentage of the RBB immediately before your first withdrawal: 33
485BPOS36th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 36th
[Enlarge/Download Table] GMWB I GMWB II GMWB III ---------- ---------- --------- If you make your first withdrawal BEFORE the 3rd anniversary after you purchase GMWB:........... 5% of RBB 5% of RBB 5% of RBB If you make your first withdrawal AFTER the 3rd anniversary after you purchase GMWB:............ 10% of RBB 10% of RBB 5% of RBB ADDITIONAL PREMIUM Currently, additional Purchase Payments serve to increase your RBB and AWB. After each Purchase Payment your new RBB equals your RBB immediately prior to the Purchase Payment plus the dollar amount of the Purchase Payment. Your new AWB is equal to the AWB immediately prior to the Purchase Payment, plus a percentage of the Purchase Payment. We use the same percentage as that used to calculate your original AWB as shown above. We reserve the right not to include additional Purchase Payments into the calculation of the RBB or AWB. WITHDRAWALS When you make a withdrawal, your AWB remains the same as long as the sum of all of your withdrawals since the most recent anniversary of your purchase or reset of GMWB (or "GMWB Anniversary"), including the current withdrawal, does not exceed your AWB immediately prior to the current withdrawal. In such case your RBB is decreased to equal the RBB immediately prior to the withdrawal, less the dollar amount of the current withdrawal. However, if you make a withdrawal so that the total of all your withdrawals since your GMWB anniversary, including the current withdrawal, exceeds your AWB immediately prior to the current withdrawal, we will recalculate both your RBB and AWB. The recalculation depends on which GMWB rider you select: IF YOU SELECT GMWB II OR GMWB III: - To recalculate your RBB, we reduce your RBB by the greater of the dollar amount of your withdrawal, or a "partial withdrawal reduction". The partial withdrawal reduction is equal to 1) the RBB in effect immediately prior to the current withdrawal, multiplied by 2) the amount of the current withdrawal divided by 3) the Contract Value immediately prior to the current withdrawal. - To recalculate your AWB, we reduce your AWB by a partial withdrawal reduction, which is equal to 1) the AWB in effect immediately prior to the current withdrawal, multiplied by 2) the RBB immediately after the withdrawal divided by 3) the RBB immediately prior to the current withdrawal. IF YOU PURCHASED GMWB I: - To recalculate your RBB, we reduce your RBB by a "partial withdrawal reduction". The partial withdrawal reduction is equal to 1) the RBB in effect immediately prior to the current withdrawal, multiplied by 2) the amount of the current withdrawal divided by 3) the Contract Value immediately prior to the current withdrawal. - To recalculate your AWB, we reduce your AWB by a partial withdrawal reduction, which is equal to 1) the AWB in effect immediately prior to the current withdrawal, multiplied by 2) the RBB immediately after the withdrawal divided by 3) the RBB immediately prior to the current withdrawal. We will waive any surrender charge on amounts that you withdraw up to your AWB, or on amounts up to the amount withdrawn under our Managed Distribution Program, even if such annual amount withdrawn is greater than your free withdrawal allowance. WITHDRAWAL EXAMPLES The following examples are intended to illustrate the effect of withdrawals on your RBB and AWB, depending on which GMWB rider you select. Assume your initial RBB is $100,000, your age is less than 70, and you take a withdrawal of $10,000 after your first GMWB Anniversary: 34

Instead, such distributions will reduce the RBB by the amount of the withdrawal, and will not affect the AWB. For purposes of GMWB II and GMWB III, the following Tax-Qualified Distribution Programs are eligible. Only certain types of distribution methods are eligible as described below. Please consult with your tax adviser to make sure you are eligible: 35
485BPOS38th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 38th
- Distributions intended to satisfy the required minimum distribution rules under Internal Revenue Code ("Code") Section 401(a)(9) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, as applicable, to: - a qualified retirement plan (Code Section 401), - a tax-sheltered annuity (Code Section 403(b)), - an individual retirement account (Code Sections 408(a)), - an individual retirement annuity (Code Section 408(b)), or - a qualified deferred compensation plan (Code Section 457). Required minimum distribution must be calculated using the Uniform Life Table (described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(a)(9)-9, Q&A-2) and/or the Joint and Last Survivor Table (described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(a)(9)-9, Q&A-3), and for distributions where the employee (owner) dies before the entire interest is distributed as described in Code Section 401(a)(9)(B)(iii) calculated using the Single Life Table (described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(a)(9)-9, Q&A-1), as appropriate (each table as in effect as of January 1, 2004). - Distributions intended to satisfy the exception under Code Section 72(s)(2) to the required minimum distribution rules which apply after the death of the holder of a nonqualified annuity contract provided under Code Section 72(s)(1) for certain amounts payable over the life of a designated beneficiary; - Distributions intended to satisfy the exception under Code Section 72(t)(2)(A)(iv) from the 10% additional tax on early distributions from qualified retirement plans imposed by Code Section 72(t)(1) for certain amounts payable as part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments made for the life (or life expectancy) of the employee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of such employee and his designated beneficiary, provided, however, the amount of the substantially equal periodic payments must be calculated under the required minimum distribution method set forth in the Internal Revenue Service Notice 89-25, 1989-1 C.B. 662 in Q&A-12 as amended by Revenue Ruling 2002-62, 2002-42 I.R.B. 710 (substantially equal periodic payments calculated under the fixed annuitization method or the fixed amortization method described in Q&A-12 of Notice 89-25 will not be considered a Tax-Qualified Distribution Program); or - Distributions intended to satisfy the exception under Code Section 72(q)(2)(D) from the 10% additional tax on early distributions from nonqualified annuity contracts imposed by Code Section 72(q)(1) for certain amounts payable as part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments made for the life (or life expectancy) of the Beneficiary or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of such Beneficiary and his designated beneficiary, provided, however, the amount of the substantially equal periodic payment must be calculated under the required minimum distribution method set forth in Internal Revenue Service Notice 89-25, 1989-1 C.B. 662 in Q&A-12 as amended by Internal Revenue Bulletin 2004-9, Notice 2004-15, page 526. (substantially equal periodic payments calculated under the fixed annuitization method or the fixed amortization method described in Q&A-12 of Notice 89-25 will not be considered a Tax-Qualified Distribution Program). You are subject to the following limitations if you are taking distributions under a Tax-Qualified Distribution Program: - YOU MUST ENROLL IN OUR MANAGED DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM. If you do not enroll or if you cancel your enrollment, you can continue to make withdrawals under your GMWB rider, however your RBB and AWB may be subject to a recalculation. Under our Managed Distribution Program, you select the frequency of payments. You may change the frequency of your payments only once every two years after your GMWB Anniversary, and you may only make the change during the 30-day period after your GMWB Anniversary. At the time you 36
485BPOS39th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 39th
purchase GMWB, your initial frequency of payment must be annual if you did not take distributions pursuant to your Tax-Qualified Distribution Program at your previous financial institution, unless you turn age 70-1/2 before the first GMWB anniversary. You are advised to take your required distributions prior to purchasing GMWB in order to have the choice of taking your distributions on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. If you do not take your distribution before purchasing GMWB, you will be limited to taking annual distributions for the first two Contract Years after which time you can choose an alternate mode of distribution. - ANY WITHDRAWALS OUTSIDE OF THE PROGRAM MAY DECREASE YOUR BENEFIT. All withdrawals under your Contract must be made pursuant to the Tax-Qualified Distribution Program during any 12-month period after an anniversary of your purchase of GMWB (a "GMWB Year"). If during any GMWB Year you take any additional withdrawals that are not made pursuant to the Program, you can continue to make withdrawals under your GMWB rider, however for the remainder of the GMWB Year your RBB and AWB may be subject to a partial withdrawal reduction. To avoid any partial withdrawal reduction, all withdrawals under your Contract must be made pursuant to your Tax-Qualified Distribution Program. RESET (GMWB I AND GMWB II ONLY) If you select GMWB I or GMWB II, you may choose to reset your RBB at any time on or after the 5th anniversary of your GMWB purchase. Your new RBB is reset to equal your current Contract Value. You may reset your RBB again every 5 years after the most recent reset. Once you become eligible to reset your RBB, we reserve the right to allow resets only on the anniversary of your GMWB purchase. Each time you reset your RBB, your new AWB will equal a percentage of your new RBB. The percentage used is the same percentage used to calculate your AWB before the reset. If you are age 95 and are taking withdrawals under a Tax-Qualified Distribution Program, you may not reset if you purchased GMWB II. Depending on your Contract Value and the current fee for GMWB, it may not be beneficial to reset your RBB. Generally, it may be beneficial to reset your RBB if your Contract Value exceeds your RBB. However, the current charge in effect at the time of the reset will apply which may be higher than the current charge. Further, if you reset your RBB, your new AWB may be higher or lower than your current AWB. In addition, the length of time over which you can expect to receive your RBB will be reset. INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS (GMWB II AND GMWB III ONLY) We reserve the right to restrict allocations to a Variable Funding Option or limit the percentage of Contract value that may be allocated to a Variable Funding Option at any time. If we do so we will provide you with asset allocation requirements, and we reserve the right to require periodic rebalancing of Contract value allocated to Variable Funding Options according to specified percentages. We will provide no less than 30 days advanced written notice if we exercise our right to restrict or limit allocations to a Variable Funding Option and/or require periodic rebalancing between Variable Funding Options. Our ability to restrict allocations to a Variable Funding Option may be different depending on your state. If we restrict allocations to a Variable Funding Option, as of the effective date of the restriction, we will no longer allow additional Purchase Payments to be applied, or transfers of Contract value to be allocated into the restricted Variable Funding Option. Any Contract value previously allocated to a restricted Variable Funding Option will not be subject to the restriction. If we impose a limit on the percentage of Contract value allocated to a Variable Funding Option, as of the effective date of the restriction, we will impose the limit on all subsequent allocations. GMWB CHARGE The charge for your GMWB rider is different depending on which version of GMWB you choose. For all GMWB riders, the charge is deducted daily from amounts held in each Variable Funding Option. The current charge for each rider, on an annual basis, is shown below. Your current 37
485BPOS40th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 40th
charge will not change unless you reset your benefits, at which time we may modify the charge. In such case the charge will never exceed 1.00%. [Download Table] GMWB I GMWB II GMWB III ------ ------- -------- Current Annual Charge.................. 0.40% 0.50% 0.25% Maximum Annual Charge After a Reset.... 1.00% 1.00% N/A MAXIMUM RBB Although we have no current plans to do so, in the future we may impose a maximum RBB. If we do, we would stop including additional Purchase Payments into the calculation of your RBB. If we impose a maximum RBB for Purchase Payments or reset, the maximum RBB will never be less than the cumulative Purchase Payments to which we have previously consented. Currently you must obtain our consent to purchase any RBB over $1 million. Purchase Payments under $1 million are not subject to a maximum RBB. TERMINATION Once you purchase GMWB I, you cannot cancel it. If you select GMWB II or GMWB III, you may terminate your rider at any time after the 5th anniversary of your purchase of GMWB. Once you terminate a GMWB III rider, you cannot re-elect it. You must request your termination in writing. All GMWB riders terminate automatically when you reach the maturity date of your Contract, if your Contract is assigned, or if the rider is exchanged for a similar rider offered by us. OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT GMWB If your Contract Value reaches zero, and you have purchased this benefit, the following will occur: - The AWB will continue to be paid to you until the RBB is depleted, not more frequently than monthly. Upon your death, your beneficiary will receive these payments. No other death benefit or optional benefit, if any, will be paid. - The total annual payment amount will equal the AWB and will never exceed your RBB, and - We will no longer accept subsequent Purchase Payments into the Contract. If a spouse or beneficiary continues this Contract upon your death, and you had elected GMWB, all terms and conditions of this benefit would apply to the new owner. Please refer to the Death Benefit section for information on how GMWB may impact your death benefit.

DEATH BENEFIT Before the Maturity Date, generally, a death benefit is payable when either the Annuitant or a Contract Owner dies. We calculate the death benefit at the close of the business day on which our Home Office receives (1) Due Proof of Death and (2) written payment instructions or election of spousal contract continuance or beneficiary contract continuance ("Death Report Date"). Note: If the owner dies before the Annuitant, the death benefit is recalculated, replacing all references to "Annuitant" with "owner." DEATH PROCEEDS BEFORE THE MATURITY DATE IF THE ANNUITANT OR AN OWNER IS YOUNGER THAN AGE 80 ON THE CONTRACT DATE: We will pay to the beneficiary a death benefit in an amount equal to the greatest of (1), (2) or (3) below, each reduced by any applicable premium tax or outstanding loans: (1) the Contract Value on the Death Report Date (2) the total Purchase Payments made under the Contract less the total of any withdrawals; or the step-up value (if any, as described below) STEP-UP VALUE. We will establish a step-up value on each Contract Date anniversary that occurs on or prior to the Death Report Date. The step-up value will initially equal the Contract Value on that anniversary. When you make an additional Purchase Payment, we will increase the step-up value by the amount of that Purchase Payment. When you make a withdrawal, we will reduce the step-up value by a partial surrender reduction as described below. On each Contract anniversary before the Annuitant's 80th birthday and before the Annuitant's death, if the Contract Value is greater than the step-up value, we will reset the step-up value to equal that greater amount. We will not reduce the step-up value on these anniversary recalculations (provided no withdrawals or surrenders are made on that day). The only changes we will make to the step-up value on or after the Annuitant's 80th birthday will be those related to additional Purchase Payments or withdrawals. PARTIAL SURRENDER REDUCTION. If you make a withdrawal, we will reduce the step-up value by a partial surrender reduction which equals (1) the step-up value prior to the withdrawal, multiplied by (2) the amount of the withdrawal, divided by (3) the Contract Value before the withdrawal. For example, assume your current Contract Value is $55,000. If your current step-up value is $50,000, and you decide to make a withdrawal of $10,000, we would reduce the step-up value as follows: $50,000 x ($10,000/$55,000) = $9,090 Your new step-up value would be $50,000 -- $9,090, or $40,910. The following example shows what would happen in a declining market. Assume your current Contract Value is $30,000. If your current step-up value is $50,000, and you decide to make a withdrawal of $10,000, we would reduce the step-up value as follows: $50,000 x ($10,000/$30,000) = $16,666 Your new step-up value would be $50,000 -- $16,666, or $33,334. 39

IF THE ANNUITANT OR AN OWNER IS AGE 80 OR OLDER ON THE CONTRACT DATE: We will pay to the beneficiary a death benefit in an amount equal to the greater of (1) or (2) below, each reduced by any applicable premium tax or outstanding loans not previously deducted: (1) the Contract Value on the Death Report Date or (2) the total Purchase Payments made under the Contract less the total of any withdrawals. ENHANCED STEPPED-UP PROVISION ("E.S.P.") THIS PROVISION IS NOT AVAILABLE TO A CUSTOMER WHEN EITHER THE ANNUITANT OR OWNER IS AGE 76 OR OLDER ON THE RIDER EFFECTIVE DATE. The rider effective date is the date the rider is attached to and made a part of the Contract. If you have selected the E.S.P., the total death benefit as of the Death Report Date will equal the death benefit described above plus the greater of zero or the following amount: IF THE ANNUITANT IS YOUNGER THAN AGE 70 ON THE RIDER EFFECTIVE DATE, 40% OF THE LESSER OF: (1) 200% of the modified Purchase Payments excluding Purchase Payments that are both received after the first rider effective date anniversary and within 12 months of the Death Report Date, or (2) your Contract Value minus the modified Purchase Payments, calculated as of the Death Report Date; or IF THE ANNUITANT IS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 70 AND 75 ON THE RIDER EFFECTIVE DATE, 25% OF THE LESSER OF: (1) 200% of the modified Purchase Payments excluding Purchase Payments that are both received after the first rider effective date anniversary and within 12 months of the Death Report Date, or (2) your Contract Value minus the modified Purchase Payments, calculated as of the Death Report Date. THE INITIAL MODIFIED PURCHASE PAYMENT IS EQUAL TO THE CONTRACT VALUE AS OF THE RIDER EFFECTIVE DATE. Whenever a Purchase Payment is made after the rider effective date, the modified Purchase Payment(s) are increased by the amount of the Purchase Payment. Whenever a partial surrender is taken after the rider effective date, the modified Purchase Payment(s) are reduced by a partial surrender reduction as described below. THE PARTIAL SURRENDER REDUCTION IS EQUAL TO: (1) the modified Purchase Payment(s) in effect immediately prior to the reduction for the partial surrender, multiplied by (2) the amount of the partial surrender divided by (3) the Contract Value immediately prior to the partial surrender. For example, assume your current modified Purchase Payment is $50,000 and that your current Contract Value is $55,000. You decide to make a withdrawal of $10,000. We would reduce the modified Purchase Payment as follows: $50,000 x ($10,000/$55,000) = $9,090 You new modified Purchase Payment would be $50,000 -- $9,090 = $40,910. The following example shows what would happen in a declining market. Assume your current Contract Value is $30,000. If your current modified Purchase Payment is $50,000 and you decide to make a withdrawal of $10,000, we would reduce the modified Purchase Payment as follows: $50,000 x ($10,000/$30,000) = $16,666 Your new modified Purchase Payment would be $50,000 -- $16,666 = $33,334. PAYMENT OF PROCEEDS We describe the process of paying death benefit proceeds before the Maturity Date in the charts below. The charts do not encompass every situation and are merely intended as a general guide. More detailed information is provided in your Contract. Generally, the person(s) receiving the benefit may request that the proceeds be paid in a lump sum, or be applied to one of the settlement options available under the Contract. 40

-------------- * Certain payout rules of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) are triggered upon the death of any Owner. Non-spousal beneficiaries (as well as spousal beneficiaries who choose not to assume the Contract) must begin taking distributions based on the beneficiary's life expectancy within one year of death or take a complete distribution of Contract proceeds within 5 years of death. For Qualified Contracts, if mandatory distributions have begun at the death of the Annuitant, the 5 year payout option is not available. SPOUSAL CONTRACT CONTINUANCE (SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY -- DOES NOT APPLY IF A NON-SPOUSE IS A JOINT OWNER) Within one year of your death, if your spouse is named as an owner and/or beneficiary, and you die before the Maturity Date, your spouse may elect to continue the Contract as owner rather than have the death benefit paid to the beneficiary. If you were the Annuitant and your spouse elects to continue the Contract, your spouse will be named the Annuitant as of the Death Report Date. If your spouse elects to continue the Contract as Contract Owner, the death benefit will be calculated as of the Death Report Date. If the Contract Value is less than the calculated death benefit, the Contract Value will be increased to equal the death benefit. This amount is referred to as the adjusted Contract Value. Any difference between the Contract Value and the adjusted Contract Value will be allocated to the funding options in the same proportion as the allocations of the Contract prior to the Death Report Date. Any premium paid before the Death Report Date is no longer subject to a withdrawal charge if your spouse elects to continue the Contract. Purchase Payments made to the Contract after the Death Report Date will be subject to the withdrawal charge. All other Contract fees and charges applicable to the original Contract will also apply to the continued Contract. All other benefits and features of your Contract will be based on your spouse's age on the Death Report Date as if your spouse had purchased the Contract with the adjusted Contract Value on the Death Report Date. This spousal contract continuance is available only once for each Contract. BENEFICIARY CONTRACT CONTINUANCE (NOT PERMITTED FOR NON-NATURAL BENEFICIARIES) If you die before the Maturity Date, and if the value of any beneficiary's portion of the death benefit is between $20,000 and $1,000,000 as of the Death Report Date, (more than $1,000,000 is subject to Home Office approval), your beneficiary(s) may elect to continue his/her portion of the Contract subject to applicable Internal Revenue Code distribution requirements, rather than receive the death benefit in a lump sum. If the beneficiary chooses to continue the Contract, the beneficiary can extend the payout phase of the Contract enabling the beneficiary to "stretch" the death benefit distributions out over his life expectancy as permitted by the Internal Revenue Code. If your beneficiary elects to continue the Contract, the death benefit will be calculated as of the Death Report Date. The initial Contract Value of the continued Contract (the "adjusted Contract Value") will equal the greater of the Contract Value or the death benefit calculated on the Death Report Date and will be allocated to the funding options in the same proportion as prior to the Death Report Date. If the adjusted Contract Value is allocated to the Variable Funding Options, the beneficiary bears the investment risk. The beneficiary who continues the Contract will be granted the same rights as the owner under the original Contract, except the beneficiary cannot: - transfer ownership - take a loan - make additional Purchase Payments The beneficiary may also name his/her own beneficiary ("succeeding beneficiary") and has the right to take withdrawals at any time after the Death Report Date without a withdrawal charge. The E.S.P. option is not available to a beneficiary continuing the Contract under this provision. All other fees and charges applicable to the original Contract will also apply to the continued Contract; the E.S.P. charge no longer applies. All benefits and features of the continued Contract will be based on the beneficiary's age on the Death Report Date as if the beneficiary had purchased the Contract with the adjusted Contract Value on the Death Report Date. 43

PLANNED DEATH BENEFIT You may request that rather than receive a lump-sum death benefit, the beneficiary(ies) receive all or a portion of the death benefit proceeds either: - through an annuity for life or a period that does not exceed the beneficiary's life expectancy or - under the terms of the Beneficiary Continuance provision described above. If the Beneficiary Continuance provision is selected as a planned death benefit, no surrenders will be allowed other than payments meant to satisfy minimum distribution amounts or systematic withdrawal amounts, if greater. You must make the planned death benefit request as well as any revocation of this request in writing. Upon your death, your beneficiary(s) cannot revoke or modify this request. If the death benefit at the time we receive Due Proof of Death is less than $2,000, we will only pay a lump sum to the beneficiary. If periodic payments due under the planned death benefit election are less than $100, we reserve the right to make Annuity Payments at less frequent intervals, resulting in a payment of at least $100 per year. If no beneficiary is alive when death benefits become payable, we will pay the death benefit as provided in your Contract. DEATH PROCEEDS AFTER THE MATURITY DATE If any Contract Owner or the Annuitant dies on or after the Maturity Date, the Company will pay the beneficiary a death benefit consisting of any benefit remaining under the annuity or income option then in effect. THE ANNUITY PERIOD MATURITY DATE Under the Contract, you can receive regular payments ("Annuity Payments"). You can choose the month and the year in which those payments begin ("Maturity Date"). You can also choose among income payouts (annuity or income options) or elect a lump sum distribution. While the Annuitant is alive, you can change your selection any time up to the Maturity Date. Annuity or income payments will begin on the Maturity Date stated in the Contract unless (1) you fully surrendered the Contract; (2) we paid the proceeds to the beneficiary before that date; or (3) you elected another date. Annuity Payments are a series of periodic payments (a) for life; (b) for life with a minimum number of payments; or (c) for the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and another person, and thereafter during the lifetime of the survivor. Income payments are for a fixed period or amount. We may require proof that the Annuitant is alive before we make Annuity Payments. Not all options may be available in all states. You may choose to annuitize at any time after the first Contract Date anniversary. Unless you elect otherwise, the Maturity Date will be the Annuitant's 70th birthday for Qualified Contracts and the Annuitant's 75th birthday for Non-qualified Contracts or ten years after the effective date of the Contract, if later (this requirement may be changed by us). At least 30 days before the original Maturity Date, you may elect to extend the Maturity Date to any time prior to the Annuitant's 85th birthday for Non-qualified Contracts or, for Qualified Contracts, to a later date with our consent. You may use certain annuity options taken at the Maturity Date to meet the minimum required distribution requirements of federal tax law, or you may use a program of withdrawals instead. These mandatory distribution requirements take effect generally upon the death of the Contract Owner, or with certain Qualified Contracts upon either the later of the Contract Owner's attainment of age 70 1/2 or year of retirement; or the death of the Contract Owner. You should seek independent tax advice regarding the election of minimum required distributions. 44
485BPOS47th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 47th
ALLOCATION OF ANNUITY You may elect to receive your Annuity Payments in the form of a variable annuity, a fixed annuity or a combination of both. If, at the time Annuity Payments begin, you have not made an election, we will apply your Cash Surrender Value to provide an annuity funded by the same funding options as you have selected during the accumulation period. At least 30 days before the Maturity Date, you may transfer the Contract Value among the funding options in order to change the basis on which we will determine Annuity Payments. (See "Transfers".) VARIABLE ANNUITY You may choose an annuity payout that fluctuates depending on the investment experience of the Variable Funding Options. We determine the number of Annuity Units credited to the Contract by dividing the first monthly annuity payment attributable to each Variable Funding Option by the corresponding Accumulation Unit value as of 14 days before the date Annuity Payments begin. We use an Annuity Unit to measure the dollar value of an annuity payment. The number of Annuity Units (but not their value) remains fixed during the annuity period. DETERMINATION OF FIRST ANNUITY PAYMENT. Your Contract contains the tables we use to determine your first monthly annuity payment. If you elect a variable annuity, the amount we apply to it will be the Cash Surrender Value as of 14 days before the date Annuity Payments begin, less any applicable premium taxes not previously deducted. The amount of your first monthly payment depends on the annuity option you elected and the Annuitant's adjusted age. Your Contract contains the formula for determining the adjusted age. We determine the total first monthly annuity payment by multiplying the benefit per $1,000 of value shown in the Contract tables by the number of thousands of dollars of Contract Value you apply to that annuity option. The Contract tables factor in an assumed daily net investment factor of 3%. We call this your net investment rate. Your net investment rate of 3% corresponds to an annual interest rate of 3%. This means that if the annualized investment performance, after expenses, of your Variable Funding Options is less than 3%, then the dollar amount of your variable Annuity Payments will decrease. However, if the annualized investment performance, after expenses, of your Variable Funding Options is greater than 3%, then the dollar amount of your variable Annuity Payments will increase. DETERMINATION OF SECOND AND SUBSEQUENT ANNUITY PAYMENTS. The dollar amount of all subsequent Annuity Payments changes from month to month based on the investment experience, as described above, of the applicable funding options. The total amount of each annuity payment will equal the sum of the basic payments in each funding option. We determine the actual amounts of these payments by multiplying the number of Annuity Units we credited to each funding option by the corresponding Annuity Unit value as of the date 14 days before the date the payment is due. FIXED ANNUITY You may choose a fixed annuity that provides payments that do not vary during the annuity period. We will calculate the dollar amount of the first fixed annuity payment as described under Variable Annuity, except that the amount we apply to begin the annuity will be your Cash Surrender Value as of the date Annuity Payments begin. Payout rates will not be lower than that shown in the Contract. If it would produce a larger payment, the first fixed Annuity Payment will be determined using the Life Annuity Tables in effect on the Maturity Date. 45

PAYMENT OPTIONS ELECTION OF OPTIONS While the Annuitant is alive, you can change your annuity or income option selection any time up to the Maturity Date. Once annuity or income payments have begun, no further elections are allowed. During the Annuitant's lifetime, if you do not elect otherwise before the Maturity Date, we will pay you (or another designated payee) the first of a series of monthly annuity or income payments based on the life of the Annuitant, in accordance with Annuity Option 2 (Life Annuity with 120 monthly payments assured). For certain Qualified Contracts, Annuity Option 4 (Joint and Last Survivor Life Annuity -- Annuity Reduced on Death of Primary Payee) will be the automatic option as described in the Contract. (See "Annuity Options") The minimum amount that can be placed under an annuity or income option will be $2,000 unless we agree to a lesser amount. If any monthly periodic payment due is less than $100, the Company reserves the right to make payments at less frequent intervals, or to pay the Contract Value in a lump-sum. On the Maturity Date, we will pay the amount due under the Contract in accordance with the Payment Option that you select. You may choose to receive a single lump-sum payment. You must elect an option in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company. Any election made during the lifetime of the Annuitant must be made by the Contract Owner. ANNUITY OPTIONS Subject to the conditions described in "Election of Options" above, we may pay all or any part of the Cash Surrender Value under one or more of the following annuity options. Payments under the annuity options are generally made on a monthly basis. We may offer additional options. Option 1 -- Life Annuity -- No Refund. The Company will make Annuity Payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant ending with the last payment before death. This option offers the maximum periodic payment, since there is no assurance of a minimum number of payments or provision for a death benefit for beneficiaries. Option 2 -- Life Annuity with 120, 180 or 240 Monthly Payments Assured. The Company will make monthly Annuity Payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant, with the agreement that if, at the death of that person, payments have been made for less than 120, 180 or 240 months, as elected, we will continue making payments to the beneficiary during the remainder of the period. Option 3 -- Joint and Last Survivor Life Annuity -- No Refund. The Company will make regular Annuity Payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant and a second person. When either person dies, we will continue making payments to the survivor. No further payments will be made following the death of the survivor. Option 4 -- Joint and Last Survivor Life Annuity -- Annuity Reduced on Death of Primary Payee. The Company will make Annuity Payments during the lifetimes of the Annuitant and a second person. You will designate one as primary payee, and the other will be designated as secondary payee. On the death of the secondary payee, the Company will continue to make monthly Annuity Payments to the primary payee in the same amount that would have been payable during the joint lifetime of the two persons. On the death of the primary payee, the Company will continue to make Annuity Payments to the secondary payee in an amount equal to 50% of the payments, which would have been made during the lifetime of the primary payee. No further payments will be made once both payees have died. 46
485BPOS49th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 49th
Option 5 -- Other Annuity Options. The Company will make any other arrangements for Annuity Payments as may be mutually agreed upon. INCOME OPTIONS Instead of one of the annuity options described above, and subject to the conditions described under "Election of Options," all or part of the Contract's Cash Surrender Value (or, if required by state law, Contract Value) may be paid under one or more of the following income options, provided that they are consistent with federal tax law qualification requirements. Payments under the income options may be elected on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis: Option 1 -- Payments of a Fixed Amount. We will make equal payments of the amount elected until the Cash Surrender Value applied under this option has been exhausted. We will pay the first payment and all later payments from each funding option or the Fixed Account in proportion to the Cash Surrender Value attributable to each funding option and/or Fixed Account. The final payment will include any amount insufficient to make another full payment. Option 2 -- Payments for a Fixed Period without Life Contingency. We will make payments for the period selected. The amount of each payment will be equal to the remaining Cash Surrender Value applied under this option divided by the number of remaining payments. Option 3 -- Other Income Options. We will make any other arrangements for income options as may be mutually agreed upon. VARIABLE LIQUIDITY BENEFIT This benefit is only offered with the income option "Payments for a Fixed Period without Life Contingency." At any time after annuitization and before death, the Contract Owner may surrender and receive a payment equal to (A) minus (B), where (A) equals the present value of remaining certain payments, and (B) equals a withdrawal charge not to exceed the maximum withdrawal rate shown on the specifications page of the Contract multiplied by (A). The interest rate used to calculate the present value is a rate 1% higher than the Assumed (Daily) Net Investment Factor used to calculate the Annuity Payments. The remaining period certain payments are assumed to be level payments equal to the most recent period certain payment prior to the request for this liquidity benefit. A withdrawal charge is not imposed if the surrender is made after the expiration of the withdrawal charge period shown on the specifications page of the Contract. MISCELLANEOUS CONTRACT PROVISIONS RIGHT TO RETURN You may return the Contract for a full refund of the Contract Value plus any contract charges and premium taxes you paid (but not any fees and charges the Underlying Fund assessed) within twenty days after you receive it (the "right to return period"). You bear the investment risk of investing in the Variable Funding Options during the right to return period; therefore, the Contract Value we return may be greater or less than your Purchase Payment. If you purchase the Contract as an Individual Retirement Annuity, and return it within the first seven days after delivery, or longer if your state law permits, we will refund your Purchase Payment in full; during the remainder of the right to return period, we will refund the Contract Value (including charges). We will determine the Contract Value following the close of the business day on which we receive your Contract and a Written Request for a refund. Where state law requires a different period, or the return of Purchase Payments or other variations of this provision, we will comply. Refer to your Contract for any state-specific information. 47
485BPOS50th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 50th
TERMINATION We reserve the right to terminate the Contract on any business day if your Contract Value as of that date is less than $1,000 and you have not made Purchase Payments for at least two years, unless otherwise specified by state law. Termination will not occur until 31 days after we have mailed notice of termination to your last known address and to any assignee of record. If we terminate the Contract, we will pay you the Cash Surrender Value less any applicable taxes. In certain states, we may be required to pay the Contract Value. REQUIRED REPORTS As often as required by law, but at least once in each Contract Year before the due date of the first Annuity Payment, we will furnish a report showing the number of Accumulation Units credited to the Contract and the corresponding Accumulation Unit value(s) as of the report date for each funding option to which the Contract Owner has allocated amounts during the applicable period. The Company will keep all records required under federal and state laws. SUSPENSION OF PAYMENTS The Company reserves the right to suspend or postpone the date of any payment or determination of values on any business day (1) when the New York Stock Exchange ("the Exchange") is closed; (2) when trading on the Exchange is restricted; (3) when an emergency exists, as determined by the SEC, so that the sale of securities held in the Separate Account may not reasonably occur, or so that the Company may not reasonably determine the value of the Separate Account's net assets; or (4) during any other period when the SEC, by order, so permits for the protection of security holders. Payments from the Fixed Account may be delayed up to 6 months. THE SEPARATE ACCOUNTS MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and MetLife Life and Annuity Company of Connecticut each sponsor Separate Accounts: Fund ABD and Fund ABD II, respectively. (References to "Separate Account" are either to Fund ABD or Fund ABD II, depending on the issuer of your Contract.) Both Fund ABD and Fund ABD II were established on October 17, 1995 and are registered with the SEC as unit investment trusts under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. We will invest Separate Account assets attributable to the Contracts exclusively in the shares of the Variable Funding Options. We hold the assets of Fund ABD and Fund ABD II for the exclusive and separate benefit of the owners of each Separate Account, according to the laws of Connecticut. Income, gains and losses, whether or not realized, from assets allocated to the Separate Account are, in accordance with the Contracts, credited to or charged against the Separate Account without regard to other income, gains and losses of the Company. The assets held by the Separate Account are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business that we may conduct. Obligations under the Contract are obligations of the Company. All investment income and other distributions of the funding options are payable to the Separate Account. We reinvest all such income and/or distributions in shares of the respective funding option at net asset value. Shares of the funding options are currently sold only to life insurance company Separate Accounts to fund variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts. Certain variable annuity separate accounts and variable life insurance separate accounts may invest in the funding options simultaneously (called "mixed" and "shared" funding). It is conceivable that in the future it may be disadvantageous to do so. Although the Company and the Variable Funding Options do not currently foresee any such disadvantages either to variable annuity contract owners or variable life policy owners, each Underlying Fund's Board of Directors intends to monitor events in order to identify any material conflicts between them and to determine what action, if any, should be taken. If a Board of Directors was to conclude that separate funds should be established for variable life and variable annuity separate accounts, the variable annuity 48
485BPOS51st Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 51st
contract owners would not bear any of the related expenses, but variable annuity contract owners and variable life insurance policy owners would no longer have the economies of scale resulting from a larger combined fund. We reserve the right to transfer assets of the Separate Account to another separate account, and to modify the structure or operation of the Separate Account, subject to the necessary regulatory approvals. If we do so, we guarantee that the modification will not affect your Contract Value. PERFORMANCE INFORMATION In advertisements for the Contract, we may include performance figures to show you how a Variable Funding Option has performed in the past. These figures are rates of return or yield quotations shown as a percent. These figures show past performance of a Variable Funding Option and are not an indication of how a Variable Funding Option will perform in the future. Our advertisements may show performance figures assuming that you do not elect any optional features such as the E.S.P. or GMWB. However, if you elect any of these optional features, they involve additional charges that will serve to decrease the performance of your Variable Funding Options. You may wish to speak with your registered representative to obtain performance information specific to the optional features you may wish to select. Performance figures for each Variable Funding Option are based in part on the performance of a corresponding Underlying Fund. In some cases, the Underlying Fund may have existed before the technical inception of the corresponding Variable Funding Option. In those cases, we can create "hypothetical historical performance" of a Variable Funding Option. These figures show the performance that the Variable Funding Option would have achieved had it been available during the entire history of the Underlying Fund. In a low interest rate environment, yields for money market Subaccounts, after deduction of the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, Administrative Expense Charge and the charge for any optional benefit riders (if applicable), may be negative even though the Underlying Fund's yield, before deducting for such charges, is positive. If you allocate a portion of your Contract Value to a money market Subaccount or participate in an asset allocation program where Contract Value is allocated to a money market Subaccount under the applicable asset allocation model, that portion of your Contract Value may decrease in value. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS The following general discussion of the federal income tax consequences related to your investment in this Contract is not intended to cover all situations, and is not meant to provide tax or legal advice. Because of the complexity of the law and the fact that the tax results will vary depending on many factors, you should consult your tax and/or legal adviser regarding the tax implications of purchasing this Contract based upon your individual situation. For further tax information, an additional discussion of certain tax matters is contained in the SAI. GENERAL TAXATION OF ANNUITIES Congress has recognized the value of saving for retirement by providing certain tax benefits, in the form of tax deferral, for premiums paid under an annuity and permitting tax-free transfers between the various investment options offered under the Contract. The Internal Revenue Code ("Code") governs how earnings on your investment in the Contract are ultimately taxed, depending upon the type of contract, qualified or non-qualified, and the manner in which the money is distributed, as briefly described below. In analyzing the benefits of tax deferral it is important to note that the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 amended Code Section 1 to reduce the marginal tax rates on long-term capital gains and dividends to 5% and 15%, respectively. The reduced rates apply during 2003 through 2008, and thereafter will increase to prior levels. Under current federal income tax law, the taxable portion of distributions under variable annuity contracts and qualified plans (including IRAs) is not eligible for the reduced tax rate applicable to long-term capital gains and dividends. Earnings under annuity contracts, like interest payable on fixed investments (notes, bonds, etc.) continue to be taxed as ordinary income (top rate of 35%). 49

STATE AND LOCAL TAXES. The rules for state and local income taxes may differ from the federal income tax rules. Purchasers and prospective purchasers of the Contract should consult their own tax advisors and the law of the applicable taxing jurisdiction to determine what rules and tax benefits apply to the contract. PENALTY TAX FOR PREMATURE DISTRIBUTIONS. For both Qualified and Non-qualified Contracts, taxable distributions taken before the Contract Owner has reached the age of 59-1/2 will be subject to a 10% additional tax penalty unless the distribution is taken in a series of periodic distributions, for life or life expectancy, or unless the distribution follows the death or disability of the Contract Owner. Other exceptions may be available in certain qualified plans. The 10% tax penalty is in addition to any other penalties that may apply under your Contract and the normal income taxes due on the distribution. TAX-FREE EXCHANGES. Code Section 1035 provides that, if certain conditions are met, no gain or loss is recognized when an annuity contract is received in exchange for a life insurance, endowment, or annuity contract. Since different annuity contracts have different expenses, fees and benefits, a tax-free exchange could result in your investment becoming subject to higher or lower fees and/or expenses. FEDERAL ESTATE TAXES. While no attempt is being made to discuss the Federal estate tax implications of the Contract, you should keep 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 payable to the designated beneficiary or the actuarial value of the payments to be received by the beneficiary. Consult an estate planning advisor 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 the Company to deduct the tax from your Contract or from any applicable payment and pay it directly to the IRS. TYPES OF CONTRACTS: QUALIFIED AND NON-QUALIFIED QUALIFIED ANNUITY CONTRACTS If you purchase your Contract with proceeds of an eligible rollover distribution from any tax-qualified employee pension or retirement savings plan or individual retirement annuity (IRA), your Contract is referred to as a Qualified Contract. Some examples of Qualified Contracts are: IRAs (including Roth IRAs), tax sheltered annuities established by public school systems or certain tax exempt organizations under Code Section 403(b), corporate-sponsored pension, retirement savings and profit sharing plans (including 401(k) plans), Keogh Plans (for self-employed individuals), and certain other qualified deferred compensation plans. The rights and benefits under a Qualified Contract may be limited by the terms of the retirement plan, regardless of the terms and conditions of the Contract. Plan participants making contributions to Qualified Contracts will be subject to the required minimum distribution rules as provided by the Code and described below. All qualified plans (including IRAs) receive tax-deferral under the Code. Although there are no additional tax benefits to funding your qualified plan or IRA with an annuity, it does offer you additional insurance benefits, such as the availability of a guaranteed income for life. TAXATION OF QUALIFIED ANNUITY CONTRACTS Under a qualified annuity, since amounts paid into the Contract generally have not yet been taxed, the full amount of any distributions (including the amount attributable to Purchase Payments), whether paid in the form of lump sum withdrawals or Annuity Payments, are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates unless the distribution is transferred to an eligible rollover account or contract. There are special rules which govern the taxation of Qualified Contracts, including 50
485BPOS53rd Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 53rd
withdrawal restrictions, requirements for mandatory distributions, and contribution limits. Amounts rolled over to the Contract from other qualified funding vehicles generally are not subject to current taxation. HURRICANE RELIEF LOANS. Your plan may provide for increased limits and delayed repayment of participant loans, where otherwise permitted by your plan, pursuant to the Katrina Emergency Tax Relief Act of 2005 and the Gulf Opportunity Zone Act of 2005. An eligible retirement plan other than an IRA may allow a plan loan to delay loan repayment by certain individuals impacted by Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma , whose principal places of abode on certain dates were located in statutorily defined disaster areas and who sustained an economic loss due to the hurricane. Generally, if the due date for any repayment with respect to such loan occurs during a period beginning on September 23, 2005 (for purposes of Hurricane Katrina) or October 23, 2005 (for purposes of Hurricanes Rita and Wilma) and ending on December 31, 2006, then such due date may be delayed for one year. Note: For purposes of these loan rules, an individual cannot be a qualified individual with respect to more than one hurricane. Consult your tax advisor to determine if hurricane relief is available to your particular situation. MANDATORY DISTRIBUTIONS FOR QUALIFIED PLANS Federal tax law requires that minimum annual distributions begin by April 1st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which an IRA owner attains age 70-1/2. Participants in qualified plans and 403(b) annuities may defer minimum distributions until the later of April 1st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which they attain age 70-1/2 or the year of retirement (except for participants who are 5% or more owners of the plan sponsor) . If you own more than one individual retirement annuity and/or account, you may satisfy the minimum distribution rules on an aggregate basis (i.e. determine the total amount of required distributions from all IRAs and take the required amount from any one or more IRAs). A similar aggregate approach is available to meet your 403(b) minimum distribution requirements if you have multiple 403(b) annuities. Recently promulgated Treasury regulations changed the distribution requirements; therefore, it is important that you consult your tax adviser as to the impact of these regulations on your personal situation. MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS FOR BENEFICIARIES UPON THE CONTRACT OWNER'S DEATH: Upon the death of the Contract Owner and/or Annuitant of a Qualified Contract, the funds remaining in the Contract must be completely withdrawn within five years from the date of death or minimum distributions may be taken over the life expectancy of the individual beneficiaries (or in the case of certain trusts that are contract beneficiaries, over the life expectancy of the individuals who are the beneficiaries of the trust), provided such distributions are payable at least annually and begin within one year from the date of death. Special rules apply where the beneficiary is the surviving spouse, which allow the spouse to assume the Contract and defer the minimum distribution requirements. Final income tax regulations regarding minimum distribution requirements were released in June 2004. These regulations affect both deferred and income annuities. Under these new rules, effective with respect to minimum distributions required for the 2006 distribution year, in general, the value of all benefits under a deferred annuity (including death benefits in excess of cash value, including the Earnings Preservation Benefit, as well as all living benefits such as GMIB and GMWB) must be added to the account value in computing the amount required to be distributed over the applicable period. We will provide you with additional information as to the amount of your interest in the Contract that is subject to required minimum distributions under this new rule and either compute the required amount for you or offer to do so at your request. The new rules are not entirely clear and you should consult your personal tax advisor as to how these rules affect your Contract. NOTE TO PARTICIPANTS IN QUALIFIED PLANS INCLUDING 401, 403(B), 457 AS WELL AS IRA OWNERS: While annual plan contribution limits may be increased from time to time by Congress and the IRS for federal income tax purposes, these limits must be adopted by each state for any higher limits to be 51
485BPOS54th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 54th
effective at a state income tax level. In other words, the permissible contribution limits for federal and state income tax purposes may be different. Therefore, in certain states, a portion of the contributions may not be excludible or deductible from state income taxes. Please consult your employer or tax adviser regarding this issue. INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITIES To the extent of earned income for the year and not exceeding the applicable limit for the taxable year, an individual may make deductible contributions to an individual retirement annuity (IRA). The applicable limit ($2,000 per year prior to 2002) has been increased by the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 ("EGTRRA"). The limit is $3,000 for calendar years 2002-2004, $4,000 for calendar years 2005-2007, and will be indexed for inflation in years subsequent to 2008. Additional "catch-up contributions" may be made to an IRA by individuals age 50 or over. There are certain limits on the deductible amount based on the adjusted gross income of the individual and spouse and on their participation in a retirement plan. If an individual is married and the spouse is not employed, the individual may establish IRAs for the individual and spouse. Purchase Payments may then be made annually into IRAs for both spouses in the maximum amount of 100% of earned income up to a combined limit based on the individual limits outlined above. Deductible contributions to an IRA and Roth IRA for the year must be aggregated for purposes of the individual Code Section 408A limits and the Code Section 219 limits (age 50+catch-up). Partial or full distributions are treated as ordinary income, except that amounts contributed after 1986 on a non-deductible basis are not includable in income when distributed. An additional tax of 10% will apply to any taxable distribution from the IRA that is received by the participant before the age of 59 1/2 except by reason of death, disability or as part of a series of payments for life or life expectancy. Distributions must commence by April 1st of the calendar year after the close of the calendar year in which the individual attains the age of 70 1/2. Certain other mandatory distribution rules apply on the death of the individual. The individual must maintain personal and tax return records of any non-deductible contributions and distributions. Section 408 (k) of the Code provides for the purchase of a Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) plan. A SEP is funded through an IRA and can accept an annual employer contribution limited to the lesser of $42,000 or 100% of pay for each participant in 2005 ($44,000 for 2006). ROTH IRAs Effective January 1, 1998, Section 408A of the Code permits certain individuals to contribute to a Roth IRA. Eligibility to make contributions is based upon income, and the applicable limits vary based on marital status and/or whether the contribution is a rollover contribution from another IRA or an annual contribution. Contributions to a Roth IRA, which are subject to certain limitations, (similar to the annual limits for traditional IRAs), are not deductible and must be made in cash or as a rollover or transfer from another Roth IRA or other IRA. A conversion of "traditional" IRA to a Roth IRA may be subject to tax and other special rules apply. You should consult a tax adviser before combining any converted amounts with other Roth IRA contributions, including any other conversion amounts from other tax years. Qualified distributions from a Roth IRA are tax-free. A qualified distribution requires that the Roth IRA has been held for at least 5 years, and the distribution is made after age 59 1/2, on death or disability of the owner, or for a limited amount ($10,000) for a qualified first time home purchase for the owner or certain relatives. Income tax and a 10% penalty tax may apply to distributions made (1) before age 59 1/2 (subject to certain exceptions) or (2) during five taxable years starting with the year in which the first contribution is made to the Roth IRA. NON-QUALIFIED ANNUITY CONTRACTS If you purchase the Contract on an individual basis with after-tax dollars and not under one of the programs described above, your Contract is referred to as non-qualified. As the owner of a non-qualified annuity, you do not receive any tax benefit (deduction or deferral of income) on Purchase Payments, but you will not be taxed on increases in the value of your Contract until a distribution occurs -- either as a withdrawal made prior to the Maturity Date or in the form of periodic Annuity Payments. As a general rule, there is income in the Contract (earnings) to the extent the Contract Value exceeds your investment in the Contract. The investment in the Contract equals the total Purchase Payments less any amount received previously which was excludible from gross income. Generally, different tax rules apply to Annuity Payments than to withdrawals and payments received before the annuity starting date. When a withdrawal is made, you are taxed on the amount of the withdrawal that is considered earnings under federal tax laws. Similarly, when you receive an Annuity Payment, part of each periodic payment is considered a return of your Purchase Payments and will not be taxed, but the remaining portion of the Annuity Payment (i.e., any earnings) will be considered ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. Annuity Payments are subject to an "excludable amount" or "exclusion ratio" which determines how much of each payment is treated as: - a non-taxable return of your purchase payment; or - a taxable payment of earnings. We generally will tell you how much of each Annuity Payment is a non-taxable return of your Purchase Payments. However, it is possible that the IRS could conclude that the taxable portion of Annuity 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. Generally, once the total amount treated as a non-taxable return of your Purchase Payments equals your Purchase Payments, then all remaining payments are fully taxable. We will withhold a portion of the taxable amount of your Annuity Payment for income taxes, unless you elect otherwise. The amount we withhold is determined by the Code. Code Section 72(s) requires that non-qualified annuity contracts meet minimum mandatory distribution requirements upon the death of the Contract Owner, including the death of either of the Joint Owners. If these requirements are not met, the Contract will not be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes and earnings under the Contract will be taxable currently, not when distributed. The distribution required depends, among other things, upon whether an annuity option is elected or whether the succeeding Contract Owner is the surviving spouse. We will administer contracts in accordance with these rules and we will notify you when you should begin receiving payments. There is a more complete discussion of these rules in the SAI. If a non-qualified annuity is owned by a non-natural person (e.g., a corporation), increases in the value of the Contract attributable to Purchase Payments made after February 28, 1986 are includable in income annually and taxed at ordinary income tax rates. Furthermore, for contracts issued after April 22, 1987, if the Contract is transferred to another person or entity without adequate consideration, all deferred increases in value will be treated as income for federal income tax purposes at the time of the transfer. PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS: If you make a partial withdrawal of your Contract Value, the distribution generally will be taxed as first coming from earnings (income in the Contract) and then from your Purchase Payments. These withdrawn earnings are includable in your taxable income. (See Penalty Tax for Premature Distributions below.) Any direct or indirect borrowing against the value of the Contract or pledging of the Contract as security for a loan will be treated as a cash distribution 52
485BPOS55th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 55th
under the tax law, and will have tax consequences in the year taken. It should be noted that there is no guidance as to the determination of the amount of income in a Contract if it is issued with a Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (GMWB). Therefore, you should consult with your tax adviser as to the potential tax consequences of a partial surrender if your Contract is issued with a GMWB. PARTIAL ANNUITIZATIONS: At the present time the IRS has not approved the use of an exclusion ratio or exclusion amount when only part of your Contract Value is applied to a payment option. Currently, we will treat the application of less than your entire Contract Value under a Non-qualified Contract to a payment option (i.e. taking Annuity Payments) as a taxable withdrawal for federal income tax purposes (which may also be subject to the 10% penalty tax if you are under age 59-1/2). We will then treat the amount of the withdrawal (after any deductions for taxes) as the purchase price of an income annuity and tax report the income payments received that annuity under the rules for variable income annuities. Consult your tax attorney prior to partially annuitizing your Contract. We will determine the excludable amount for each income payment under the Contract as a whole by using the rules applicable to variable income payments in general (i.e. by dividing your after-tax purchase price, as adjusted for any refund or guarantee feature, by the number of expected income payments from the appropriate IRS table). However, the IRS may determine that the excludable amount is different from our computation. The tax law treats all non-qualified deferred annuities issued after October 21, 1988 by the same company (or its affiliates) to the same owner during any one calendar year as one annuity. This may cause a greater portion of your withdrawals from the Deferred Annuity to be treated as income than would otherwise be the case. Although the law is not clear, the aggregation rule may also adversely affect the tax treatment of payments received under an income annuity where the owner has purchased more than one non-qualified annuity during the same calendar year from the same or an affiliated company after October 21, 1988, and is not receiving income payments from all annuities at the same time. DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR VARIABLE ANNUITIES The Code requires that any non-qualified variable annuity contracts based on a Separate Account must meet specific diversification standards. Non-qualified variable annuity contracts shall not be treated as an annuity for federal income tax purposes if investments made in the account are not adequately diversified. Final tax regulations define how Separate Accounts must be diversified. The Company constantly monitors the diversification of investments and believes that its accounts are adequately diversified. The consequence of any failure to diversify is essentially the loss to the Contract Owner of tax-deferred treatment, requiring the current inclusion of a proportionate share of the income and gains from the Separate Account assets in the income of each Contract Owner. The Company intends to administer all contracts subject to this provision of law in a manner that will maintain adequate diversification. OWNERSHIP OF THE INVESTMENTS In certain circumstances, owners of variable annuity 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 Separate Account assets. There is little guidance in this area, and some features of the Contract, such as the number of funds available and the flexibility of the Contract Owner to allocate premium payments and transfer amounts among the funding options, 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. 53

TAXATION OF DEATH BENEFIT PROCEEDS Amounts may be distributed from a Non-qualified Contract because of the death of an owner or Annuitant. Generally, such amounts are includable in the income of the recipient as follows: (i) if distributed in a lump sum, they are taxed in the same manner as a full surrender of the Contract; or (ii) if distributed under a payment option, they are taxed in the same way as Annuity Payments. OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS TREATMENT OF CHARGES FOR OPTIONAL BENEFITS The Contract may provide one or more optional enhanced death benefits or other minimum guaranteed benefit that in some cases may exceed the greater of purchase price or the Contract Value. It is possible that the Internal Revenue Service may take the position that the charges for the optional enhanced benefit(s) are deemed to be taxable distributions to you. Although we do not believe that a charge under such optional enhanced benefit should be treated as a taxable withdrawal, you should consult with your tax adviser before selecting any rider or endorsement to the Contract. GUARANTEED BENEFITS. If you have purchased a GMWB, 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 amounts guaranteed to be available for withdrawal at the time of the withdrawal if greater than the account balance (prior to surrender charges). This could result in a greater amount of taxable income in certain cases. In general, at the present time, we intend to tax report such withdrawals using the account balance rather than the remaining benefit to determine gain. However, in cases where the maximum permitted withdrawal in any year under any version of the GMWB exceeds the account balance, 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. We reserve the right to change our tax reporting practices where we determine they are not in accordance with IRS guidance (whether formal or informal). PUERTO RICO TAX CONSIDERATIONS The Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 1994 (the "1994 Code") taxes distributions from non-qualified annuity 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 1994 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 (payable over your lifetime) is also calculated differently under the 1994 Code. Since Puerto Rico residents are also subject to U.S. income tax on all income other than income sourced to Puerto Rico and the Internal Revenue Service 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 1994 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. NON-RESIDENT ALIENS Distributions to non resident aliens ("NRAs") are subject to special and complex tax and withholding rules under the Code with respect to U.S. source income, some of which are based upon the 54
485BPOS57th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 57th
particular facts and circumstances of the Contract Owner, the beneficiary and the transaction itself. As stated above, the IRS has taken the position that income from the Contract received by NRAs is considered U.S. source income. In addition, Annuity Payments to NRAs in many countries are exempt from U.S. tax (or subject to lower rates) based upon a tax treaty, provided that the Contract Owner complies with the applicable requirements. NRAs should seek guidance from a tax adviser regarding their personal situation.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financial statements for the Company and its Separate Account are located in the Statement of Additional Information. DISTRIBUTION OF VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACTS DISTRIBUTION AND PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT. MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and MetLife Life and Annuity Company of Connecticut (together the "Company") have appointed MLI Distribution LLC ("MLIDLLC") (formerly, Travelers Distribution LLC) to serve as the principal underwriter and distributor of the securities offered through this Prospectus, pursuant to the terms of a Distribution and Principal Underwriting Agreement. MLIDLLC, which is an affiliate of the Company, also acts as the principal underwriter and distributor of other variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies issued by the Company and its affiliated companies. The Company reimburses MLIDLLC for expenses MLIDLLC incurs in distributing the Contracts (e.g. commissions payable to retail broker-dealers who sell the Contracts). MLIDLLC does not retain any fees under the Contracts; however, MLIDLLC may receive 12b-1 fees from the Underlying Funds. MLIDLLC's principal executive offices are located at One Cityplace, Hartford, Connecticut 06103. MLIDLLC is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as the securities commissions in the states in which it operates, and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"). MLIDLLC and the Company enter into selling agreements with broker-dealers who are registered with the SEC and are members of the NASD, and with entities that may offer the Contracts but are exempt from registration. Applications for the Contract are solicited by registered representatives who are associated persons of such broker-dealer firms. Such representatives act as appointed agents of the Company under applicable state insurance law and must be licensed to sell variable 55
485BPOS58th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 58th
insurance products. The Company no longer offers the Contracts to new purchasers, but it continues to accept Purchase Payments from existing Contract Owners. COMPENSATION. Broker-dealers who have selling agreements with MLIDLLC and the Company are paid compensation for the promotion and sale of the Contracts. Registered representatives who solicit sales of the Contract typically receive a portion of the compensation payable to the broker-dealer firm. The amount the registered representative receives depends on the agreement between the firm and the registered representative. This agreement may also provide for the payment of other types of cash and non-cash compensation and other benefits. A broker-dealer firm or registered representative of a firm may receive different compensation for selling one product over another and/or may be inclined to favor or disfavor one product provider over another product provider due to differing compensation rates. We generally pay compensation as a percentage of Purchase Payments invested in the Contract. Alternatively, we may pay lower compensation on Purchase Payments but pay periodic asset-based compensation based on all or a portion of the Contract Value. The amount and timing of compensation may vary depending on the selling agreement but is not expected to exceed 7.50% of Purchase Payments (if up-front compensation is paid to registered representatives) and up to 1.50% annually of average Contract Value (if asset-based compensation is paid to registered representatives). We pay American Funds Distributors, Inc., principal underwriter for the American Funds Insurance Series, a percentage of all Purchase Payments allocated to the Funds of the American Funds Insurance Series for services it provides in marketing the Fund's shares in connection with the Contract. The Company and MLIDLLC have also entered into preferred distribution arrangements with certain broker-dealer firms. These arrangements are sometimes called "shelf space" arrangements. Under these arrangements, the Company and MLIDLLC pay separate, additional compensation to the broker-dealer firm for services the broker-dealer provides in connection with the distribution of the Company's products. These services may include providing the Company with access to the distribution network of the broker-dealer, the hiring and training of the broker-dealer's sales personnel, the sponsoring of conferences and seminars by the broker-dealer, or general marketing services performed by the broker-dealer. The broker-dealer may also provide other services or incur other costs in connection with distributing the Company's products. These preferred distribution arrangements will not be offered to all broker-dealer firms and the terms of such arrangements may differ between broker-dealer firms. Compensation payable under such arrangements may be based on aggregate, net or anticipated sales of the Contracts, total assets attributable to sales of the Contract by registered representatives of the broker-dealer firm or based on the length of time that a Contract owner has owned the Contract. Any such compensation payable to a broker-dealer firm will be made by MLIDLLC or the Company out of their own assets and will not result in any additional direct charge to you. Such compensation may cause the broker-dealer firm and its registered representatives to favor the Company's products. The Company and MLIDLLC have entered into a preferred distribution arrangement with their affiliate Tower Square Securities, Inc. and with the unaffiliated broker-dealer firms identified in the Statement of Additional Information. The Company and MLIDLLC may enter into similar arrangements with their other affiliates Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, Walnut Street Securities, Inc. and New England Securities Corporation. See the "Statement of Additional Information-DISTRIBUTION AND PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT" for a list of the broker-dealer firms that received such additional compensation during 2005, as well as the range of additional compensation paid. The Company and MLIDLLC have entered into selling agreements with certain broker-dealer firms that have an affiliate that acts as investment adviser or sub-adviser to one or more Underlying Funds which may be offered in the Contracts. These investment advisory firms include Fidelity Management & Research Company, Morgan Stanley Investment Advisers Inc., Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, L.P., MetLife Investment Funds Management LLC, MetLife Advisers LLC and Met Investors Advisory LLC. MetLife Investment Funds Management LLC, MetLife Advisers LLC and MetLife Investors Advisory LLC are affiliates of the Company. Registered representatives of broker-dealer firms with an affiliated company acting as an adviser or a sub-adviser may favor these Funds when offering the Contracts. 56

CONFORMITY WITH STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS The laws of the state in which we deliver a Contract govern that Contract. Where a state has not approved a Contract feature or funding option, it will not be available in that state. Any paid-up annuity, Cash Surrender Value or death benefits that are available under the Contract are not less than the minimum benefits required by the statutes of the state in which we delivered the Contract. We reserve the right to make any changes, including retroactive changes, in the Contract to the extent that the change is required to meet the requirements of any law or regulation issued by any governmental agency to which the Company, the Contract or the Contract Owner is subject. 57

VOTING RIGHTS The Company is the legal owner of the shares of the Underlying Funds. However, we believe that when an Underlying Fund solicits proxies in conjunction with a vote of shareholders we are required to obtain from you and from other owners instructions on how to vote those shares. We will vote all shares, including those we may own on our own behalf, and those where we have not received instructions from Contract Owners, in the same proportion as shares for which we received voting instructions. Should we determine that we are no longer required to comply with the above, we will vote on the shares in our own right. In certain limited circumstances, and when permitted by law, we may disregard voting instructions. If we do disregard voting instructions, a summary of that action and the reasons for such action would be included in the next annual report to Contract Owners. RESTRICTIONS ON FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS Federal laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering might, in certain circumstances, require us to block a Contract Owner's ability to make certain transactions and thereby refuse to accept any request for transfers, withdrawals, surrenders, or death benefits, until the instructions are received from the appropriate regulator. We may also be required to provide additional information about you and your Contract to government regulators. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In the ordinary course of business, the Company, 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.

APPENDIX C THE FIXED ACCOUNT The Fixed Account is part of the Company's general account assets. These general account assets include all assets of the Company other than those held in the Separate Accounts sponsored by the Company or its affiliates. The staff of the SEC does not generally review the disclosure in the prospectus relating to the Fixed Account. Disclosure regarding the Fixed Account and the general account may, however, be subject to certain provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in the prospectus. Under the Fixed Account, the Company assumes the risk of investment gain or loss, guarantees a specified interest rate, and guarantees a specified periodic annuity payment. The investment gain or loss of the Separate Account or any of the funding options does not affect the Fixed Account Contract Value, or the dollar amount of fixed Annuity Payments made under any payout option. We guarantee that, at any time, the Fixed Account Contract Value will not be less than the amount of the Purchase Payments allocated to the Fixed Account, plus interest credited as described below, less any applicable premium taxes or prior withdrawals. Purchase Payments allocated to the Fixed Account and any transfers made to the Fixed Account become part of the Company's general account, which supports insurance and annuity obligations. Where permitted by state law, we reserve the right to restrict Purchase Payments into the Fixed Account whenever the credited interest rate on the Fixed Account is equal to the minimum guaranteed interest rate specified in your Contract. The general account and any interest therein is not registered under, or subject to the provisions of, the Securities Act of 1933 or Investment Company Act of 1940. We will invest the assets of the Fixed Account at our discretion. Investment income from such Fixed Account assets will be allocated to us and to the Contracts participating in the Fixed Account. Investment income from the Fixed Account allocated to us includes compensation for mortality and expense risks borne by us in connection with Fixed Account Contracts. The amount of such investment income allocated to the Contracts will vary from year to year in our sole discretion at such rate or rates as we prospectively declare from time to time. We guarantee the initial rate for any allocations into the Fixed Account for one year from the date of such allocation. We guarantee subsequent renewal rates for the calendar quarter. We also guarantee that for the life of the Contract we will credit interest at a rate not less than the minimum interest rate allowed by state law. We reserve the right to change the rate subject to applicable state law. We will determine any interest we credit to amounts allocated to the Fixed Account in excess of the minimum guaranteed rate in our sole discretion. You assume the risk that interest credited to the Fixed Account may not exceed the minimum guaranteed rate for any given year. We have no specific formula for determining the interest rate. Some factors we may consider are regulatory and tax requirements, general economic trends and competitive factors. TRANSFERS You may make transfers from the Fixed Account to any available Variable Funding Option(s) twice a year during the 30 days following the semiannual anniversary of the Contract Date. We limit transfers to an amount of up to 15% of the Fixed Account Contract Value on the semiannual Contract Date anniversary. (This restriction does not apply to transfers under the Dollar Cost Averaging Program.) Amounts previously transferred from the Fixed Account to Variable Funding Options may not be transferred back to the Fixed Account for a period of at least six months from the date of transfer. We reserve the right to waive either of these restrictions. Where permitted by state law, we reserve the right to restrict transfers into the Fixed Account whenever the credited interest rate on the Fixed Account is equal to the minimum guaranteed interest rate specified in your Contract.

SUMMARY: PORTFOLIO ARCHITECT SELECT ANNUITY THIS SUMMARY DETAILS SOME OF THE MORE IMPORTANT POINTS THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW AND CONSIDER BEFORE PURCHASING THE CONTRACT. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE PROSPECTUS CAREFULLY. WHAT COMPANY WILL ISSUE MY CONTRACT? Your issuing company is either MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut or MetLife Life and Annuity Company of Connecticut ("the Company," "We" or "Us"). MetLife Life and Annuity Company of Connecticut does not solicit or issue insurance products in the state of New York. Refer to your Contract for the name of your issuing company. Each company sponsors its own segregated account ("Separate Account"). MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut sponsors the MetLife of CT sponsors the MetLife of CT Fund ABD for Variable Annuities ("Fund ABD"); MetLife Life and Annuity Company of Connecticut sponsors MetLife of CT Fund ABD II for Variable Annuities ("Fund ABD II"). When we refer to the Separate Account, we are referring to either Fund ABD or Fund ABD II, depending upon your issuing Company. Contracts issued in your state provide different features and benefits from and impose different costs (such as a waiver of the withdrawal charge on all Annuity Payments) than those described in this prospectus. The Contract is not offered to new purchasers. CAN YOU GIVE ME A GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTRACT? We designed the Contract for retirement savings or other long-term investment purposes. The Contract provides a death benefit as well as guaranteed payout options. You direct your payment(s) to one or more of the Variable Funding Options and/or to the Fixed Account that is part of our general account (the "Fixed Account"). We guarantee money directed to the Fixed Account as to principal and interest. The Variable Funding Options fluctuate with the investment performance of the Underlying Funds and are not guaranteed. You can also lose money in the Variable Funding Options. The Contract, like all deferred variable annuity contracts, has two phases: the accumulation phase and the payout phase (annuity period). During the accumulation phase generally, under a Qualified Contract, your pre-tax contributions accumulate on a tax-deferred basis and are taxed as income when you make a withdrawal, presumably when you are in a lower tax bracket. During the accumulation phase, under a Non-qualified Contract, earnings on your after-tax contributions accumulate on a tax-deferred basis and are taxed as income when you make a withdrawal. The payout phase occurs when you begin receiving payments from your Contract. The amount of money you accumulate in your Contract determines the amount of income ("Annuity Payments") you receive during the payout phase. During the payout phase, you may choose one of a number of annuity options. You may receive income payments in the form of a variable annuity, a fixed annuity, or a combination of both If you elect variable income payments, the dollar amount of your payments may increase or decrease. Once you choose one of the annuity options or income options and begin to receive payments, it cannot be changed. WHO CAN PURCHASE THIS CONTRACT? The Contract is currently available for use in connection with (1) individual non-qualified purchases; (2) rollovers from Individual Retirement Annuities (IRAs); (3) rollovers from other qualified retirement plans and (4) beneficiary-directed transfers of death proceeds from another contract. Qualified Contracts include contracts qualifying under Section 401(a), 403(b), or 408(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Purchase of this Contract through a tax qualified retirement plan ("Plan") does not provide any additional tax deferral benefits beyond those provided by the Plan. Accordingly, if you are purchasing this Contract through a Plan, you should consider purchasing this Contract for its Death Benefit, Annuity Option Benefits, and other non-tax-related benefits. You may purchase the Contract with an initial payment of at least $5000. You may make additional payments of at least $500 at any time during the accumulation phase. No additional payments are allowed if this Contract is purchased with a beneficiary-directed transfer of death proceeds. 5

The ages of the owner and Annuitant determine if you may purchase this product and which optional features are available to you. See The Annuity Contract section for more information. CAN I EXCHANGE MY CURRENT ANNUITY CONTRACT FOR THIS CONTRACT? The Code generally permits you to exchange one annuity contract for another in a "tax-free exchange". Therefore, you can transfer the proceeds from another annuity contract to purchase this Contract. Before making an exchange to acquire this Contract, you should carefully compare this Contract to your current contract. You may have to pay a surrender charge under your current contract to exchange it for this Contract, and this Contract has its own surrender charges that would apply to you. The other fees and charges under this Contract may be higher or lower and the benefits may be different than those of your current contract. In addition, you may have to pay federal income or penalty taxes on the exchange if it does not qualify for tax-free treatment. You should not exchange another contract for this Contract unless you determine, after evaluating all the facts, the exchange is in your best interests. Remember that the person selling you the Contract generally will earn a commission on the sale. IS THERE A RIGHT TO RETURN PERIOD? If you cancel the Contract within twenty days after you receive it, you will receive a full refund of your Contract Value plus any Contract charges and premium taxes you paid (but not fees and charges assessed by the Underlying Funds). Where state law requires a different right to return period, or the return of Purchase Payments, the Company will comply. You bear the investment risk on the Purchase Payment allocated to a Variable Funding Option during the right to return period; therefore, the Contract Value we return may be greater or less than your Purchase Payment. If you purchased your Contract as an Individual Retirement Annuity, and you return it within the first seven days after delivery, or longer if your state law permits, we will refund your full Purchase Payment. During the remainder of the right to return period, we will refund your Contract Value (including charges we assessed). We will determine your Contract Value at the close of business on the day we receive a Written Request for a refund. CAN YOU GIVE A GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE VARIABLE FUNDING OPTIONS AND HOW THEY OPERATE? The Variable Funding Options represent Subaccounts of The Separate Account. At your direction, the Separate Account, through its Subaccounts, uses your Purchase Payments to purchase shares of one or more of the Underlying Funds that holds securities consistent with its own investment policy. Depending on market conditions, you may make or lose money in any of these Variable Funding Options. You can transfer among the Variable Funding Options as frequently as you wish without any current tax implications. Currently there is no limit to the number of transfers allowed. We may, in the future, limit the number of transfers allowed. At a minimum, we would always allow one transfer every six months. We reserve the right to restrict transfers that we determine will disadvantage other Contract Owners. You may transfer between the Fixed Account and the Variable Funding Options twice a year (during the 30 days after the six-month Contract Date anniversary), provided the amount is not greater than 15% of the Fixed Account value on that date. Amounts previously transferred from the Fixed Account to the Variable Funding Options may not be transferred back to the Fixed Account for a period of at least six months from the date of the transfer. WHAT EXPENSES WILL BE ASSESSED UNDER THE CONTRACT? The Contract has insurance features and investment features, and there are costs related to each. We deduct an administrative expense charge and a mortality and expense risk ("M&E") charge daily from amounts you allocate to the Separate Account. We deduct the administrative expense charge at an annual rate of 0.15% and deduct the M&E charge at an annual rate of 1.25%. For Contracts with a value of less than $40,000, we also deduct an annual Contract administrative charge of $30. Each Underlying Fund also charges for management costs and other expenses. We will apply a withdrawal charge to withdrawals from the Contract, and will calculate it as a percentage of the Purchase Payments. The maximum percentage is 6%, decreasing to 0% after seven full years. If you select the Enhanced Stepped-Up Provision ("E.S.P."), an additional 0.20% 6
485BPOS114th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 114th
annually will be deducted from amounts in the Variable Funding Options. THIS PROVISION IS NOT AVAILABLE TO A CUSTOMER WHEN EITHER THE ANNUITANT OR OWNER IS AGE 76 OR OLDER ON THE RIDER EFFECTIVE DATE. HOW WILL MY PURCHASE PAYMENTS AND WITHDRAWALS BE TAXED? Generally, the payments you make to a Qualified Contract during the accumulation phase are made with before-tax dollars. Generally, you will be taxed on your Purchase Payments and on any earnings when you make a withdrawal or begin receiving Annuity Payments. Under a Non-qualified Contract, payments to the Contract are made with after-tax dollars, and earnings will generally accumulate tax-deferred. You will be taxed on these earnings when they are withdrawn from the Contract. If you are younger than 59 1/2 when you take money out, you may be charged a 10% federal penalty tax on the amount withdrawn. For owners of Qualified Contracts, if you reach a certain age, you may be required by federal tax laws to begin receiving payments from your annuity or risk paying a penalty tax. In those cases, we can calculate and pay you the minimum required distribution amounts. HOW MAY I ACCESS MY MONEY? You can take withdrawals any time during the accumulation phase. Withdrawal charges may apply, as well as income taxes, and/or a penalty tax on amounts withdrawn. WHAT IS THE DEATH BENEFIT UNDER THE CONTRACT? The death benefit applies upon the first death of the Contract Owner, joint owner, or Annuitant. Assuming you are the Annuitant, the death benefit is as follows: If you die before the Contract is in the payout phase, the person you have chosen as your beneficiary will receive a death benefit. You may also choose to purchase the Enhanced Stepped-Up Provision, which, for a fee, may increase the amount of the death benefit. We calculate the death benefit value at the close of the business day on which our Home Office receives (1) Due Proof of Death and (2) written payment instructions or the election of spousal contract continuance or beneficiary contract continuance. Please refer to the "Death Benefit" section in the prospectus for more details. WHERE MAY I FIND OUT MORE ABOUT ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUES? The Condensed Financial Information in Appendix A or Appendix B to this prospectus provides more information about Accumulation Unit values. ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL FEATURES? This Contract has other features you may be interested in. These include: - DOLLAR COST AVERAGING. This is a program that allows you to invest a fixed amount of money in Variable Funding Options each month, theoretically giving you a lower average cost per unit over time than a single one-time purchase. Dollar Cost Averaging requires regular investments regardless of fluctuating price levels, and does not guarantee profits or prevent losses in a declining market. Potential investors should consider their financial ability to continue purchases through periods of low price levels. - SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL OPTION. Before the Maturity Date, you can arrange to have money sent to you at set intervals throughout the year. Of course, any applicable income and penalty taxes will apply on amounts withdrawn. Withdrawals in excess of the annual free withdrawal allowance may be subject to a withdrawal charge. - AUTOMATIC REBALANCING. You may elect to have the Company periodically reallocate the values in your Contract to match the rebalancing allocation selected. - ENHANCED STEPPED-UP PROVISION ("E.S.P."). For an additional charge, the total death benefit payable may be increased based on the earnings in your Contract. - SPOUSAL CONTRACT CONTINUANCE (SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY). If your spouse is named as an owner and/or beneficiary, and you die prior to the Maturity Date, your spouse may elect to continue the Contract as owner rather than have the death benefit paid to the beneficiary. This feature applies to a spousal joint Contract Owner and/or beneficiary only. 7

- BENEFICIARY CONTRACT CONTINUANCE (NOT PERMITTED FOR NON-NATURAL BENEFICIARIES). If you die before the Maturity Date, and if the value of any beneficiary's portion of the death benefit is between $20,000 and $1,000,000 as of the date of your death, that beneficiary(s) may elect to continue his/her portion of the Contract rather than have the death benefit paid to the beneficiary. 8

EXAMPLE The example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include Contract Owner transaction expenses, Contract fees, separate account annual expenses, and Underlying Fund total annual operating expenses. The example does not represent past or future expenses. Your actual expenses may be more or less than those shown. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated and that your investment has a 5% return each year. The example reflects the annual Contract administrative charge, factoring in that the charge is waived for contracts over a certain value. Additionally, the example is based on the minimum and maximum Underlying Fund total annual operating expenses shown above, and does not reflect any Underlying Fund fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. The example assumes you have allocated all of your Contract Value to either the Underlying Fund with the maximum total annual operating expenses or the Underlying Fund with the minimum total annual operating expenses and that you have elected the E.S.P, optional death benefit. Your actual expenses will be less than those shown if you do not elect all of the available optional benefits.

THE ANNUITY CONTRACT Portfolio Architect Select Annuity is a Contract between the Contract Owner ("you") and the Company. This is the prospectus -- it is not the Contract. The prospectus highlights many Contract provisions to focus your attention on the Contract's essential features. Your rights and obligations under the Contract will be determined by the language of the Contract itself. When you receive your Contract, we suggest you read it promptly and carefully. There may be differences in your Contract from the descriptions in this prospectus because of the requirements of the state where we issued your Contract. We will include any such differences in your Contract. The Company offers several different annuities that your investment professional may be authorized to offer to you. Each annuity offers different features and benefits that may be appropriate for you. In particular, the annuities differ based on variations in the standard and optional death benefit protection provided for your beneficiaries, the availability of optional living benefits, the ability to access your Contract Value if necessary and the charges that you will be subject to if you make a withdrawal or surrender the annuity. The separate account charges and other charges may be different between each annuity we offer. Optional death benefits and living benefits are subject to a separate charge for the additional protections they offer to you and your beneficiaries. Furthermore, annuities that offer greater flexibility to access your Contract Value generally are 15
485BPOS123rd Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 123rd
subject to higher separate account charges than annuities that deduct charges if you make a withdrawal or surrender. We encourage you to evaluate the fees, expenses, benefits and features of this annuity against those of other investment products, including other annuity products offered by us and other insurance companies. Before purchasing this or any other investment product you should consider whether the product you purchase is consistent with your risk tolerance, investment objectives, investment time horizon, financial and tax situation, liquidity needs and how you intend to use the annuity. You make Purchase Payments to us and we credit them to your Contract. We promise to pay you an income, in the form of Annuity Payments, beginning on a future date that you choose, the Maturity Date. The Purchase Payments accumulate tax deferred in the funding options of your choice. We offer multiple Variable Funding Options. We may also offer a Fixed Account option. Where permitted by law, we reserve the right to restrict Purchase Payments into the Fixed Account whenever the credited interest rate on the Fixed Account is equal to the minimum guaranteed interest rate specified under the Contract. The Contract Owner assumes the risk of gain or loss according to the performance of the Variable Funding Options. The Contract Value is the amount of Purchase Payments, plus or minus any investment experience on the amounts you allocate to the Separate Account ("Separate Account Contract Value") or interest on the amounts you allocate to the Fixed Account ("Fixed Account Contract Value"). The Contract Value also reflects all withdrawals made and charges deducted. There is generally no guarantee that at the Maturity Date the Contract Value will equal or exceed the total Purchase Payments made under the Contract. The date the Contract and its benefits become effective is referred to as the Contract Date. Each 12-month period following the Contract Date is called a Contract Year. Certain changes and elections must be made in writing to the Company. Where the term "Written Request" is used, it means that you must send written information to our Home Office in a form and content satisfactory to us. This Contract is no longer available to new purchasers. The ages of the owner and Annuitant determine if you can purchase this Contract and which optional features are available to you. [Enlarge/Download Table] MAXIMUM AGE BASED ON THE OLDER OF THE OWNER AND DEATH BENEFIT/OPTIONAL FEATURE ANNUITANT ON THE CONTRACT DATE ------------------------------ ------------------------------ Standard Death Benefit Age 85 Enhanced Stepped-Up Provision (E.S.P.) Age 75 Since optional death benefits carry higher charges, you should consider the ages of the owner and Annuitant when electing these benefits, as the additional value provided by the benefit may be significantly reduced or eliminated depending on the ages of the owner and Annuitant at the time of election. Purchase of this Contract through a tax qualified retirement plan or IRA does not provide any additional tax deferral benefits beyond those provided by the plan or the IRA. Accordingly, if you are purchasing this Contract through a plan or IRA, you should consider purchasing this Contract for its Death Benefit, Annuity Option Benefits, and other non-tax-related benefits. You should consult with your tax adviser to determine if this Contract is appropriate for you. CONTRACT OWNER INQUIRIES Any questions you have about your Contract should be directed to our Home Office at 1-800-842-9325. 16

PURCHASE PAYMENTS Your initial Purchase Payment is due and payable before the Contract becomes effective. The initial Purchase Payment must be at least $5,000. You may make additional payments of at least $500 at any time. No additional payments are allowed if this Contract is purchased with a beneficiary-directed transfer of death benefit proceeds. Under certain circumstances, we may waive the minimum Purchase Payment requirement. Purchase Payments over $1,000,000 may be made only with our prior consent. We will apply the initial Purchase Payment less any applicable premium tax (net Purchase Payment) within two business days after we receive it in good order at our Home Office with a properly completed application or order request. If your request or other information accompanying the initial Purchase Payment is incomplete when received, we will hold the Purchase Payment for up to five business days. If we cannot obtain the necessary information within five business days, we will return the Purchase Payment in full, unless you specifically consent for us to keep it until you provide the necessary information. We will credit subsequent Purchase Payments to a Contract on the same business day we receive it, if it is received in good order by our Home Office by 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. A business day is any day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for regular trading (except when trading is restricted due to an emergency as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission). ACCUMULATION UNITS The period between the Contract Date and the Maturity Date is the Accumulation Period. During the Accumulation Period, an Accumulation Unit is used to calculate the value of a Contract. Each Variable Funding Option has a corresponding Accumulation Unit value. The Accumulation Units are valued each business day and their values may increase or decrease from day to day. The daily change in value of an Accumulation Unit each day is based on the investment performance of the corresponding Underlying Fund, and the deduction of separate account charges shown in the Fee Table in this prospectus. The number of Accumulation Units we will credit to your Contract once we receive a Purchase Payment is determined by dividing the amount directed to each Variable Funding Option by the value of its Accumulation Unit. Normally, we calculate the value of an Accumulation Unit for each Variable Funding Option as of the close of regular trading (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) each day the New York Stock Exchange is open. After the value is calculated, we credit your Contract. During the Annuity Period (i.e., after the Maturity Date), you are credited with Annuity Units. THE VARIABLE FUNDING OPTIONS You choose the Variable Funding Options to which you allocate your Purchase Payments. From time to time we may make new Variable Funding Options available. These Variable Funding Options are Subaccounts of the Separate Account. The Subaccounts invest in the Underlying Funds. You are not investing directly in the Underlying Fund. Each Underlying Fund is a portfolio of an open-end management investment company that is registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940. These Underlying Funds are not publicly traded and are offered only through variable annuity contracts, variable life insurance policies, and in some instances, certain retirement plans. They are not the same retail mutual funds as those offered outside of a variable annuity or variable life insurance product, although the investment practices and fund names may be similar, and the portfolio managers may be identical. Accordingly, the performance of the retail mutual fund is likely to be different from that of the Underlying Fund, and Contract Owners should not compare the two. We select the Underlying Funds offered through this Contract based on several criteria, including asset class coverage, the strength of the adviser's or sub-adviser'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 Underlying Fund's adviser or sub-adviser is one of our affiliates or whether the Underlying Fund, its adviser, its sub-adviser(s), or an 17
485BPOS125th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 125th
affiliate will compensate us or our affiliates for providing certain administrative, marketing and other support services that would otherwise be provided by the Underlying Fund, the Underlying Fund's investment adviser, or its distributor. In some cases, we have included Underlying Funds based on recommendations made by broker-dealer firms. When we develop a variable product in cooperation with a fund family or distributor (e.g., a "private label" product), we will generally include Underlying Funds based on recommendations made by the fund family or distributor, whose selection criteria may differ from our selection criteria. We review the Underlying Funds periodically and may remove an Underlying Fund or limit its availability to new Purchase Payments and/or transfers of Contract Value if we determine that the Underlying Fund no longer meets one or more of the selection criteria, and/or if the Underlying Fund has not attracted significant allocations from owners. We do not provide investment advice and do not recommend or endorse any particular Underlying Fund. In certain circumstances, our ability to remove or replace an Underlying Fund may be limited by the terms of a five-year agreement between MetLife, Inc. ("MetLife") and Legg Mason, Inc. ("Legg Mason") relating to the use of certain Underlying Funds advised by Legg Mason affiliates. The agreement sets forth the conditions under which we can remove an Underlying Fund, which, in some cases, may differ from our selection criteria. In addition, during the term of the agreement, subject to our fiduciary and other legal duties, we are generally obligated in the first instance to consider Underlying Funds advised by Legg Mason affiliates in seeking to make a substitution for an Underlying Fund advised by a Legg Mason affiliate. The agreement was originally entered into on July 1, 2005 by MetLife and certain affiliates of Citigroup Inc. ("Citigroup") as part of MetLife's acquisition of The Travelers Insurance Company and The Travelers Life and Annuity Company from Citigroup. Legg Mason replaced the Citigroup affiliates as a party to the agreement when Citigroup sold its asset management business to Legg Mason. If investment in the Underlying Funds or a particular Underlying Fund is no longer possible, in our judgment becomes inappropriate for the purposes of the Contract, or for any other reason in our sole discretion, we may substitute another Underlying Fund or Underlying Funds without your consent. The substituted Underlying Fund(s) 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 Underlying Funds to allocations of Purchase Payments or Contract Value, or both, at any time in our sole discretion. You will find detailed information about the Underlying Funds and their inherent risks in the current prospectuses for the Underlying Funds. Since each Variable Funding Option has varying degrees of risk, please read the prospectuses carefully before investing. There is no assurance that any of the Underlying Funds will meet its investment objectives. Contact your registered representative or call 1-800-842-9406 to request additional copies of the prospectuses. ADMINISTRATIVE, MARKETING AND SUPPORT SERVICE FEES. As described above, an investment adviser (other than our affiliates MetLife Advisers, LLC and Met Investors Advisory LLC) or sub-adviser of an Underlying Fund, or its affiliates, may compensate us and/or certain of our affiliates for administrative or other services relating to the Underlying Funds. The amount of this compensation is not deducted from Fund assets and does not decrease the Fund's investment return. The amount of the compensation is based on a percentage of assets of the Underlying Fund attributable to the Contracts and certain other variable insurance products that we and our affiliates issue. These percentages differ and some advisers or sub-advisers (or other affiliates) may pay us more than others. These percentages currently range up to 0.50%. Additionally, an investment adviser or sub-adviser of an Underlying Fund or its affiliates may provide us with wholesaling services that assist in the distribution of the Contracts and may pay the Company and/or certain of our affiliates amounts to participate in sales meetings. These amounts may be significant and may provide the adviser or sub-adviser (or their affiliate) with increased access to persons involved in the distribution of the Contracts. 18
485BPOS126th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 126th
We and/or certain of our affiliated insurance companies are joint members of our affiliated investment advisers MetLife Advisers, LLC and Met Investors Advisory LLC, which are organized as "limited liability companies." Our membership interests entitle us to profit distributions if the adviser makes a profit with respect to the advisory fees it receives from the Underlying Funds. We may benefit accordingly from assets allocated to the Underlying Funds to the extent they result in profits to the advisers. (See "Fee Table -- Underlying Fund Fees and Expenses" for information on the management fees paid by the Underlying Funds and the Statement of Additional Information for information on the management fees paid by the advisers to the sub-advisers.) Certain Underlying Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Distribution Plan is described in more detail in the Underlying Fund's prospectus. (See "Fee Table -- Underlying Fund Fees and Expenses" and "Other Information -- Distribution of Variable Annuity Contracts.") The payments are deducted from the assets of the Underlying Funds and are paid to our distributor, MLI Distribution LLC. These payments decrease the Funds' investment return. The agreement described above between MetLife and Legg Mason also obligates Legg Mason affiliates to continue on their current terms certain arrangements under which we receive payments in connection with our provision of administrative, marketing or other support services to the Underlying Funds advised or sub-advised by Legg Mason affiliates. Each Underlying Fund has different investment objectives and risks. The Underlying Fund prospectuses contain more detailed information on each Underlying Fund's investment strategy, investment adviser and fees. You may obtain an Underlying Fund prospectus by calling 1-800-842-9406 or through your registered representative. We do not guarantee the investment results of the Underlying Funds.

FIXED ACCOUNT We may offer our Fixed Account as a funding option. Please see Appendix C for more information. CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS GENERAL We deduct the charges described below. The charges are for the service and benefits we provide, costs and expenses we incur, and risks we assume under the Contracts. Services and benefits we provide include: - the ability for you to make withdrawals and surrenders under the Contracts - the death benefit paid on the death of the Contract Owner, Annuitant, or first of the joint owners - the available funding options and related programs (including dollar-cost averaging, portfolio rebalancing, and systematic withdrawal programs) - administration of the annuity options available under the Contracts and - the distribution of various reports to Contract Owners Costs and expenses we incur include: - losses associated with various overhead and other expenses associated with providing the services and benefits provided by the Contracts - sales and marketing expenses including commission payments to your sales agent and - other costs of doing business Risks we assume include: - that Annuitants may live longer than estimated when the annuity factors under the Contracts were established - that the amount of the death benefit will be greater than the Contract Value and - that the costs of providing the services and benefits under the Contracts will exceed the charges deducted We may also deduct a charge for taxes. Unless otherwise specified, charges are deducted proportionately from all funding options in which you are invested. The amount of a charge may not necessarily correspond to the costs associated with providing the services or benefits indicated by the designated charge. For example, the withdrawal charge we collect may not fully cover all of the sales and distribution expenses we actually incur. The amount of any fee or charge is not impacted by an outstanding loan. We may also profit on one or more of the charges. We may use any such profits for any corporate purpose, including the payment of sales expenses. WITHDRAWAL CHARGE We do not deduct a sales charge from Purchase Payments when they are made to the Contract. However, a withdrawal charge will apply if Purchase Payments are withdrawn before they have been in the Contract for seven years. We will assess the charge as a percentage of the Purchase Payment withdrawn as follows: 24

[Download Table] YEARS SINCE PURCHASE PAYMENT MADE ------------------------------------------ WITHDRAWAL GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO BUT LESS THAN CHARGE ------------------------ ------------- ------ 0 years 2 years 6% 2 years 4 years 5% 4 years 5 years 4% 5 years 6 years 3% 6 years 7 years 2% 7+ years 0% For purposes of the withdrawal charge calculation, withdrawals are deemed to be taken first from: (a) any Purchase Payment to which no withdrawal charge applies then (b) any remaining free withdrawal allowance (as described below) (after being reduced by (a)), then (c) any remaining Purchase Payment to which a withdrawal charge applies (on a first-in, first-out basis), then (d) any Contract earnings Unless you instruct us otherwise, we will deduct the withdrawal charge from the amount requested. We will not deduct a withdrawal charge if Purchase Payments are distributed: - due to the death of the Contract Owner or the Annuitant (with no Contingent Annuitant surviving) - if an annuity payout has begun - if an income option of at least five year's duration is begun - due to a minimum distribution under our minimum distribution rules then in effect FREE WITHDRAWAL ALLOWANCE Beginning in the second Contract Year, you may withdraw up to 10% of the Contract Value annually. We calculate the available withdrawal amount as of the end of the previous Contract Year. The free withdrawal provision applies to partial withdrawals only. Any withdrawal is subject to federal income taxes on the taxable portion. In addition, a 10% federal penalty may be assessed on any withdrawal if the Contract Owner is under age 59-1/2. You should consult with your tax adviser regarding the tax consequences of a withdrawal. ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES There are two administrative charges: the $30 annual Contract administrative charge and the administrative expense charge. We will deduct the annual Contract administrative charge on the fourth Friday of each August. This charge compensates us for expenses incurred in establishing and maintaining the Contract and we will prorate this charge (i.e. calculate) from the date of purchase. We will also prorate this charge if you surrender your Contract, or if we terminate your Contract. We will not deduct a Contract administrative charge from the Fixed Account or: (1) from the distribution of death proceeds (2) after an annuity payout has begun or (3) if the Contract Value on the date of assessment equals or is greater than $40,000 We deduct the administrative expense charge (sometimes called "Subaccount administrative charge") on each business day from amounts allocated to the Variable Funding Options to compensate the Company for certain related administrative and operating expenses. The charge equals, on an annual basis, 0.15% of the daily net asset value allocated to each of the Variable Funding Options, and is reflected in our accumulation and Annuity Unit value calculations. 25

MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE Each business day, we deduct a mortality and expense risk ("M&E") charge from amounts we hold in the Variable Funding Options. We reflect the deduction in our calculation of accumulation and Annuity Unit values. The charges stated are the maximum for this product, and equal 1.25% annually. We reserve the right to lower this charge at any time. This charge compensates the Company for risks assumed, benefits provided and expenses incurred, including the payment of commissions to your sales agent. VARIABLE LIQUIDITY BENEFIT CHARGE If the Variable Liquidity Benefit is selected, there is a maximum charge of 6% of the amounts withdrawn. This charge is not assessed during the accumulation phase. We will assess the charge as a percentage of the total benefit received as follows: [Download Table] YEARS SINCE INITIAL PURCHASE PAYMENT ------------------------------------------ WITHDRAWAL GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO BUT LESS THAN CHARGE ------------------------ ------------- ------ 0 years 2 years 6% 2 years 4 years 5% 4 years 5 years 4% 5 years 6 years 3% 6 years 7 years 2% 7+ years 0% Please refer to Payment Options for a description of this benefit. ENHANCED STEPPED-UP PROVISION CHARGE If the E.S.P. option is selected, a charge is deducted each business day from amounts held in the Variable Funding Options. The charge equals, on an annual basis, 0.20% of the amounts held in each funding option. The E.S.P. option is available if the owner and Annuitant are both under age 76 on the Contract Date. VARIABLE FUNDING OPTION EXPENSES We summarized the charges and expenses of the Underlying Funds in the fee table. Please review the prospectus for each Underlying Fund for a more complete description of that fund and its expenses. Underlying Fund expenses are not fixed or guaranteed and are subject to change by the Fund. PREMIUM TAX Certain state and local governments charge premium taxes ranging from 0% to 3.5%, depending upon jurisdiction. We are responsible for paying these taxes and will determine the method used to recover premium tax expenses incurred. We will deduct any applicable premium taxes from your Contract Value either upon death, surrender, annuitization, or at the time you make Purchase Payments to the Contract, but no earlier than when we have a tax liability under state law. CHANGES IN TAXES BASED UPON PREMIUM OR VALUE If there is any change in a law assessing taxes against the Company based upon premiums, Contract gains or value of the Contract, we reserve the right to charge you proportionately for this tax. 26

TRANSFERS Subject to the limitations described below, you may transfer all or part of your Contract Value between Variable Funding Options at any time up to 30 days before the Maturity Date. After the Maturity Date, you may make transfers only if allowed by your Contract or with our consent. Transfer requests received at our Home Office that are in good order before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) will be processed according to the value(s) next computed following the close of business. Transfer requests received on a non-business day or after the close of the NYSE will be processed based on the value(s) next computed on the next business day. Where permitted by state law, we reserve the right to restrict transfers from the Variable Funding Options to the Fixed Account whenever the credited interest rate on the Fixed Account is equal to the minimum guaranteed interest rate specified under the Contract. Since each Underlying Fund may have different overall expenses, a transfer of Contract Values from one Variable Funding Option to another could result in your investment becoming subject to higher or lower expenses. Also, when making transfers, you should consider the inherent risks associated with the Variable Funding Options to which your Contract Value is allocated. MARKET TIMING/EXCESSIVE TRADING Frequent requests from Contract Owners to transfer Contract Value may dilute the value of an Underlying Fund'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 Underlying Fund and the reflection of that change in the Underlying Fund's share price ("arbitrage trading"). Regardless of the existence of pricing inefficiencies, frequent transfers may also increase brokerage and administrative costs of the Underlying Funds and may disrupt management strategy, requiring an Underlying Fund to maintain a high cash position and possibly resulting in lost investment opportunities and forced liquidations ("disruptive trading"). Accordingly, arbitrage trading and disruptive trading activities (referred to collectively as "market timing") may adversely affect the long-term performance of the Underlying Funds, 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 Underlying Funds, i.e., the Credit Suisse Emerging Markets Portfolio, Dreyfus VIF Developing Leaders Portfolio, Legg Mason Partners Variable Diversified Strategic Income Portfolio, Janus Aspen Series Global Technology Portfolio, Janus Aspen Series Worldwide Growth Portfolio, Putnam VT International Equity Portfolio, Lord Abbett Bond Debenture Portfolio, Federated High Yield Portfolio and Harris Oakmark International Portfolio (the "Monitored Portfolios"), and we monitor transfer activity in those 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 of the Monitored Portfolios, in a three-month period there were two or more "round-trips" of a certain dollar amount or greater. A round-trip is defined as a transfer in followed by a transfer out within the next 10 calendar days, or a transfer out followed by a transfer in within the next 10 calendar days. In the case of a Contract that has been restricted previously, a single round-trip of a certain dollar amount or greater will trigger the transfer restrictions described below. We do not believe that other Underlying Funds present a significant opportunity to engage in arbitrage trading and therefore do not monitor transfer activity in those Underlying Funds. We may change the Monitored Portfolios at any time without notice in our sole discretion. In addition to monitoring transfer activity in certain Underlying Funds, we rely on the Underlying Funds to bring any potential disruptive trading activity they identify to our attention for investigation on a case-by-case basis. We will also investigate other harmful transfer activity that we identify from time to time. We may revise these policies and procedures in our sole discretion at any time without prior notice. 27
485BPOS135th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 135th
Our policies and procedures may result in transfer restrictions being applied to deter market timing. Currently, when we detect transfer activity in the Monitored Portfolios that exceeds our current transfer limits, or other transfer activity that we believe may be harmful to other Owners or other persons who have an interest in the Contracts, we will exercise our contractual right to restrict your number of transfers to one every six months. In addition, we also reserve the right, but do not have the obligation, to further restrict the right to request transfers by any market timing firm or any other third party who has been authorized to initiate transfers on behalf of multiple Contract Owners. We may, among other things: - reject the transfer instructions of any agent acting under a power of attorney on behalf of more than one Owner, or - reject the transfer or exchange instructions of individual Owners who have executed pre-authorized transfer forms which are submitted by market timing firms or other third parties on behalf of more than one Owner. 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 evaluate trading patterns for market timing. The detection and deterrence of harmful transfer activity involves judgments that are inherently subjective, such as the decision to monitor only those Underlying Funds 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 market timing in any Underlying Fund and there are no arrangements in place to permit any Contract Owner to engage in market timing; we apply our policies and procedures without exception, waiver, or special arrangement. The Underlying Funds may have adopted their own policies and procedures with respect to frequent purchases and redemptions of their respective shares, and we reserve the right to enforce these policies and procedures. For example, Underlying Funds may assess a redemption fee (which we reserve the right to collect) on shares held for a relatively short period. The prospectuses for the Underlying Funds describe any such policies and procedures, which may be more or less restrictive than the policies and procedures we have adopted. Contract Owners and other persons with interests in the Contracts should be aware that we currently may not have the contractual obligation or the operational capacity to apply the frequent trading policies and procedures of the Underlying Funds. However, under rules recently adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, effective October 16, 2006 we will be required to (1) enter into a written agreement with each Underlying Fund or its principal underwriter that will obligate us to provide to the Underlying Fund promptly upon request, certain information about trading activity of individual Contract Owners, and (2) execute instructions from the Underlying Funds to restrict or prohibit further Purchase Payments or transfers by specific Contract Owners who violate the frequent trading policies established by the Underlying Fund. In addition, Contract Owners and other persons with interests in the Contracts should be aware that some Underlying Funds may receive "omnibus" purchase and redemption orders from other insurance companies or intermediaries such as retirement plans. 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 Underlying Funds in their ability to apply their frequent trading policies and procedures. In addition, the other insurance companies and/or retirement plans may have different policies and procedures or may not have any such policies and procedures because of contractual limitations. For these reasons, we cannot guarantee that the Underlying Funds (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 Underlying Funds. 28
485BPOS136th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 136th
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 Underlying Funds, including any refusal or restriction on purchases or redemptions of their shares as a result of their own policies and procedures on market timing activities (even if an entire omnibus order is rejected due to the market timing activity of a single Contract Owner). You should read the Underlying Fund prospectuses for more details. DOLLAR COST AVERAGING Dollar cost averaging or the pre-authorized transfer program (the "DCA Program") allows you to transfer a set dollar amount to other funding options on a monthly or quarterly basis during the accumulation phase of the Contract. Using this method, you will purchase more Accumulation Units in a funding option if the value per unit is low and will purchase fewer Accumulation Units if the value per unit is high. Therefore, you may achieve a lower-than-average cost per unit in the long run if you have the financial ability to continue the program over a long enough period of time. Dollar cost averaging does not assure a profit or protect against a loss. You may elect the DCA Program through Written Request or other method acceptable to us. You must have a minimum total Contract Value of $5,000 to enroll in the DCA Program. The minimum amount that may be transferred through this program is $400. There is no additional fee to participate in the DCA Program. You may establish pre-authorized transfers of Contract Values from the Fixed Account, subject to certain restrictions. Under the DCA Program, automated transfers from the Fixed Account may not deplete your Fixed Account Value in less than twelve months from your enrollment in the DCA Program. In addition to the DCA Program, within the Fixed Account, we may credit increased interest rates to Contract Owners under an administrative Special DCA Program established at our discretion, depending on availability and state law. Under this program, the Contract Owner may pre-authorize level transfers to any of the funding options under either a 6 Month, 12 Month or 24 Month Program. The Programs will generally have different credited interest rates. Under each Program, the interest rate can accrue up to the applicable number of months on the remaining amounts in the Special DCA Program and we must transfer all Purchase Payments and accrued interest on a level basis to the selected funding options in the applicable time period. For example, under the 12 Month Program, the interest rate can accrue up to 12 months on the remaining amounts in the Special DCA Program and we must transfer all Purchase Payments and accrued interest in this Program on a level basis to the selected funding options in 12 months. The pre-authorized transfers will begin after the initial Program Purchase Payment and complete enrollment instructions are received by the Company. If we do not receive complete Program enrollment instructions within 15 days of receipt of the initial Program Purchase Payment, the entire balance in the Program will be transferred into the Money Market Variable Funding Option. You may start or stop participation in the DCA Program at any time, but you must give the Company at least 30 days' notice to change any automated transfer instructions that are currently in place. If you stop the Special DCA Program and elect to remain in the Fixed Account, we will credit your Contract Value for the remainder of 6 or 12 months with the interest rate for non-Program funds. You may only have one DCA Program or Special DCA Program in place at one time. We will allocate any subsequent Purchase Payments we receive within the Program period selected to the current funding options over the remainder of that Program transfer period, unless you direct otherwise. All provisions and terms of the Contract apply to the DCA and Special DCA Programs, including provisions relating to the transfer of money between funding options. Transfers made under any DCA Program will not be counted for purposes of restrictions we may impose on the number of 29
485BPOS137th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 137th
transfers permitted under the Contract. We reserve the right to suspend or modify transfer privileges at any time and to assess a processing fee for this service. If the Fixed Account is not available as a funding option, you may still participate in the DCA program. ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY Any time before the Maturity Date, you may redeem all or any portion of the Cash Surrender Value, that is, the Contract Value less any withdrawal charge, outstanding loans, and any premium tax not previously deducted. Unless you submit a Written Request specifying the fixed or Variable Funding Option(s) from which we are to withdraw amounts, we will make the withdrawal on a pro rata basis. We will determine the Cash Surrender Value as of the close of business after we receive your surrender request at our Home Office. The Cash Surrender Value may be more or less than the Purchase Payments you made. You may not make withdrawals during the annuity period. For amounts allocated to the Variable Funding Options, we may defer payment of any Cash Surrender Value for a period of up to five business days after the Written Request is received. For amounts allocated to the Fixed Account, we may defer payment of any Cash Surrender Value for a period up to six months. In either case, it is our intent to pay as soon as possible. We cannot process requests for withdrawals that are not in good order. We will contact you if there is a deficiency causing a delay and will advise what is needed to act upon the withdrawal request. If your Contract is issued as part of a 403(b) plan, there are restrictions on your ability to make withdrawals from your Contract. You may not withdraw contributions or earnings made to your Contract after December 31, 1988 unless you are (a) age 59-1/2, (b) no longer employed, (c) deceased, (d) disabled, or (e) experiencing a financial hardship. Even if you are experiencing a financial hardship, you may only withdraw contributions, not earnings. You should consult with your tax adviser before making a withdrawal from your Contract. SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWALS Before the Maturity Date, you may choose to withdraw a specified dollar amount (at least $100) on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis. We will deduct any applicable premium taxes and withdrawal charge. To elect systematic withdrawals, you must have a Contract Value of at least $15,000 and you must make the election on the form we provide. We will surrender Accumulation Units pro rata from all funding options in which you have an interest, unless you instruct us otherwise. You may begin or discontinue systematic withdrawals at any time by notifying us in writing, but you must give at least 30 days' notice to change any systematic withdrawal instructions that are currently in place. We reserve the right to discontinue offering systematic withdrawals or to assess a processing fee for this service upon 30 days' written notice to Contract Owners (where allowed by state law). Each systematic withdrawal is subject to federal income taxes on the taxable portion. In addition, a 10% federal penalty tax may be assessed on systematic withdrawals if the Contract Owner is under age 59 1/2. There is no additional fee for electing systematic withdrawals. You should consult with your tax adviser regarding the tax consequences of systematic withdrawals. LOANS Loans may be available under your Contract. Loans may only be taken against funds allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account. If available, all loan provisions are described in your Contract or loan agreement. 30

OWNERSHIP PROVISIONS TYPES OF OWNERSHIP CONTRACT OWNER The Contract belongs to the Contract Owner named in the Contract (on the Contract Specifications page), or to any other person to whom you subsequently assign the Contract. You may only make an assignment of ownership or a collateral assignment for Non-qualified Contracts. You have sole power during the Annuitant's lifetime to exercise any rights and to receive all benefits given in the Contract provided you have not named an irrevocable beneficiary and provided you have not assigned the Contract. You receive all payments while the Annuitant is alive unless you direct them to an alternate recipient. An alternate recipient does not become the Contract Owner. If this Contract is purchased by a beneficiary of another contract who directly transferred the death proceeds due under that contract, he/she will be granted the same rights the owner has under the Contract except that he/she cannot transfer ownership, take a loan or make additional Purchase Payments. Joint Owner. For Non-qualified Contracts only, you may name joint owners (e.g., spouses) in a Written Request before the Contract is in effect. Joint owners may independently exercise transfers allowed under the Contract. All other rights of ownership must be exercised by both owners. Joint owners own equal shares of any benefits accruing or payments made to them. BENEFICIARY You name the beneficiary in a Written Request. The beneficiary has the right to receive any death benefit proceeds remaining under the Contract upon the death of the Annuitant or the Contract Owner. If more than one beneficiary survives the Annuitant or Contract Owner, they will share equally in benefits unless you recorded different shares with the Company by Written Request before the death of the Annuitant or Contract Owner. In the case of a non-spousal beneficiary or a spousal beneficiary who has not chosen to assume the Contract, we will not transfer or otherwise remove the death benefit proceeds from either the Variable Funding Options or the Fixed Account, as most recently elected by the Contract Owner, until the Death Report Date. Unless you have named an irrevocable beneficiary you have the right to change any beneficiary by Written Request during the lifetime of the Annuitant and while the Contract continues. ANNUITANT The Annuitant is designated in the Contract (on the Contract Specifications page), and is the individual on whose life the Maturity Date and the amount of the monthly Annuity Payments depend. You may not change the Annuitant after your Contract is in effect. Contingent Annuitant. You may name one individual as a Contingent Annuitant. A Contingent Annuitant may not be changed, deleted or added to the Contract after the Contract Date. If the Annuitant who is not the owner dies prior to the Maturity Date, and the Contingent Annuitant is still living: - the death benefit will not be payable upon the Annuitant's death - the Contingent Annuitant becomes the Annuitant and - all other rights and benefits will continue in effect When a Contingent Annuitant becomes the Annuitant, the Maturity Date remains the same as previously in effect. 31
485BPOS139th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 139th
If the Annuitant is also the owner, a death benefit is paid to the beneficiary regardless of whether or not there is a Contingent Annuitant. DEATH BENEFIT Before the Maturity Date, generally, a death benefit is payable when either the Annuitant or a Contract Owner dies. We calculate the death benefit at the close of the business day on which our Home Office receives (1) Due Proof of Death and (2) written payment instructions or election of spousal contract continuance or beneficiary contract continuance ("Death Report Date"). Note: If the owner dies before the Annuitant, the death benefit is recalculated, replacing all references to "Annuitant" with "owner." DEATH PROCEEDS BEFORE THE MATURITY DATE IF THE ANNUITANT OR AN OWNER IS YOUNGER THAN AGE 80 ON THE CONTRACT DATE: We will pay to the beneficiary a death benefit in an amount equal to the greatest of (1), (2) or (3) below, each reduced by any applicable premium tax or outstanding loans: (1) the Contract Value on the Death Report Date (2) the total Purchase Payments made under the Contract less the total of any withdrawals or (3) the step-up value (if any, as described below) STEP-UP VALUE. We will establish a step-up value on each Contract Date anniversary that occurs on or prior to the Death Report Date. The step-up value will initially equal the Contract Value on that anniversary. When you make an additional Purchase Payment, we will increase the step-up value by the amount of that Purchase Payment. When you make a withdrawal, we will reduce the step-up value by a partial surrender reduction as described below. On each Contract anniversary before the Annuitant's 80th birthday and before the Annuitant's death, if the Contract Value is greater than the step-up value, we will reset the step-up value to equal that greater amount. We will not reduce the step-up value on these anniversary recalculations (provided no withdrawals or surrenders are made on that day). The only changes we will make to the step-up value on or after the Annuitant's 80th birthday will be those related to additional Purchase Payments or withdrawals. PARTIAL SURRENDER REDUCTIONS. If you make a withdrawal, we will reduce the step-up value by a partial surrender reduction which equals (1) the step-up value prior to the withdrawal, multiplied by (2) the amount of the withdrawal, divided by (3) the Contract Value before the withdrawal. For example, assume your current Contract Value is $55,000. If your current step-up value is $50,000, and you decide to make a withdrawal of $10,000, we would reduce the step-up value as follows: $50,000 x ($10,000/$55,000) = $9,090 Your new step-up value would be $50,000-$9,090, or $40,910. The following example shows what would happen in a declining market. Assume your current Contract Value is $30,000. If your current step-up value is $50,000, and you decide to make a withdrawal of $10,000, we would reduce the step-up value as follows: $50,000 x ($10,000/$30,000) = $16,666 Your new step-up value would be $50,000-$16,666, or $33,334. IF THE ANNUITANT OR AN OWNER IS AGE 80 OR OLDER ON THE CONTRACT DATE: We will pay to the beneficiary a death benefit in an amount equal to the greater of (1) or (2) below, each reduced by any applicable premium tax or outstanding loans not previously deducted: (1) the Contract Value on the Death Report Date or 32
485BPOS140th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 140th
(2) the total Purchase Payments made under the Contract less the total of any withdrawals. ENHANCED STEPPED-UP PROVISION ("E.S.P.") THIS PROVISION IS NOT AVAILABLE TO A CUSTOMER WHEN EITHER THE ANNUITANT OR OWNER IS AGE 76 OR OLDER ON THE RIDER EFFECTIVE DATE. The rider effective date is the date the rider is attached to and made a part of the Contract. If you have selected the E.S.P., the total death benefit as of the Death Report Date will equal the death benefit described above plus the greater of zero or the following amount: IF THE ANNUITANT IS YOUNGER THAN AGE 70 ON THE RIDER EFFECTIVE DATE, 40% OF THE LESSER OF: (1) 200% of the modified Purchase Payments excluding Purchase Payments that are both received after the first rider effective date anniversary and within 12 months of the Death Report Date, or (2) your Contract Value minus the modified Purchase Payments, calculated as of the Death Report Date; or IF THE ANNUITANT IS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 70 AND 75 ON THE RIDER EFFECTIVE DATE, 25% OF THE LESSER OF: (1) 200% of the modified Purchase Payments excluding Purchase Payments that are both received after the first rider effective date anniversary and within 12 months of the Death Report Date, or (2) your Contract Value minus the modified Purchase Payments, calculated as of the Death Report Date. THE INITIAL MODIFIED PURCHASE PAYMENT is equal to the Contract Value as of the rider effective date. Whenever a Purchase Payment is made after the rider effective date, the modified Purchase Payment(s) are increased by the amount of the Purchase Payment. Whenever a partial surrender is taken after the rider effective date, the modified Purchase Payment(s) are reduced by a partial surrender reduction as described below. THE PARTIAL SURRENDER REDUCTION IS EQUAL TO: (1) the modified Purchase Payment(s) in effect immediately prior to the reduction for the partial surrender, multiplied by (2) the amount of the partial surrender divided by (3) the Contract Value immediately prior to the partial surrender. For example, assume your current modified Purchase Payment is $50,000 and that your current Contract Value is $55,000. You decide to make a withdrawal of $10,000. We would reduce the modified Purchase Payment as follows: $50,000 x (10,000/55,000) = $9,090 You new modified Purchase Payment would be $50,000 -- $9,090 = $40,910. The following example shows what would happen in a declining market. Assume your current Contract Value is $30,000. If your current modified Purchase Payment is $50,000 and you decide to make a withdrawal of $10,000, we would reduce the modified Purchase Payment as follows: $50,000 x ($10,000/$30,000) = $16,666 Your new modified Purchase Payment would be 50,000 -- 16,666 = $33,334 PAYMENT OF PROCEEDS We describe the process of paying death benefit proceeds before the Maturity Date in the charts below. The charts do not encompass every situation and are merely intended as a general guide. More detailed information is provided in your Contract. Generally, the person(s) receiving the benefit may request that the proceeds be paid in a lump sum, or be applied to one of the settlement options available under the Contract.

CONTINGENT BENEFICIARY No death proceeds N/A are payable; Contract continues. -------------- * Certain payout rules of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) are triggered upon the death of any Owner. Non-spousal beneficiaries (as well as spousal beneficiaries who choose not to assume the Contract) must begin taking distributions based on the beneficiary's life expectancy within one year of death or take a complete distribution of Contract proceeds within 5 years of death. For Qualified Contracts, if mandatory distributions have begun at the Annuitant's death, the 5 year payout option is not available. SPOUSAL CONTRACT CONTINUANCE (SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY -- DOES NOT APPLY IF A NON-SPOUSE IS A JOINT OWNER) Within one year of your death, if your spouse is named as an owner and/or beneficiary, and you die before the Maturity Date, your spouse may elect to continue the Contract as owner rather than have the death benefit paid to the beneficiary. If you were the Annuitant and your spouse elects to continue the Contract, your spouse will be named the Annuitant as of the Death Report Date. If your spouse elects to continue the Contract as Contract Owner, the death benefit will be calculated as of the Death Report Date. If the Contract Value is less than the calculated death benefit, the Contract Value will be increased to equal the death benefit. This amount is referred to as the adjusted Contract Value. Any difference between the Contract Value and the adjusted Contract Value will be allocated to the funding options in the same proportion as the allocations of the Contract prior to the Death Report Date. Any premium paid before the Death Report Date is no longer subject to a withdrawal charge if your spouse elects to continue the Contract. Purchase Payments made to the Contract after the Death Report Date will be subject to the withdrawal charge. All other Contract fees and charges applicable to the original Contract will also apply to the continued Contract. All other benefits and features of your Contract will be based on your spouse's age on the Death Report Date as if your spouse had purchased the Contract with the adjusted Contract Value on the Death Report Date. This spousal contract continuance is available only once for each Contract. BENEFICIARY CONTRACT CONTINUANCE (NOT PERMITTED FOR NON-NATURAL BENEFICIARIES) If you die before the Maturity Date, and if the value of any beneficiary's portion of the death benefit is between $20,000 and $1,000,000 as of the Death Report Date, (more than $1,000,000 is subject to Home Office approval), your beneficiary(s) may elect to continue his/her portion of the Contract subject to applicable Internal Revenue Code distribution requirements, rather than receive the death benefit in a lump sum. If the beneficiary chooses to continue the Contract, the 35
485BPOS143rd Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 143rd
beneficiary can extend the payout phase of the Contract enabling the beneficiary to "stretch" the death benefit distributions out over his life expectancy as permitted by the Internal Revenue Code. If your beneficiary elects to continue the Contract, the death benefit will be calculated as of the Death Report Date. The initial Contract Value of the continued Contract (the "adjusted Contract Value") will equal the greater of the Contract Value or the death benefit calculated on the Death Report Date and will be allocated to the funding options in the same proportion as prior to the Death Report Date. If the adjusted Contract Value is allocated to the Variable Funding Options, the beneficiary bears the investment risk. The beneficiary who continues the Contract will be granted the same rights as the owner under the original Contract, except the beneficiary cannot: - transfer ownership - take a loan - make additional Purchase Payments The beneficiary may also name his/her own beneficiary ("succeeding beneficiary") and has the right to take withdrawals at any time after the Death Report Date without a withdrawal charge. The E.S.P. option is not available to a beneficiary continuing the Contract under this provision. All other fees and charges applicable to the original Contract will also apply to the continued Contract; the E.S.P. charge no longer applies. All benefits and features of the continued Contract will be based on the beneficiary's age on the Death Report Date as if the beneficiary had purchased the Contract with the adjusted Contract Value on the Death Report Date. PLANNED DEATH BENEFIT You may request that rather than receive a lump-sum death benefit, the beneficiary(ies) receive all or a portion of the death benefit proceeds either: - through an annuity for life or a period that does not exceed the beneficiary's life expectancy or - under the terms of the Beneficiary Continuance provision described above. If the Beneficiary Continuance provision is selected as the planned death benefit, no surrenders will be allowed other than payments meant to satisfy minimum distribution amounts or systematic withdrawal amounts, if greater. You must make the planned death benefit request as well as any revocation of this request in writing. Upon your death, your beneficiary(s) cannot revoke or modify this request. If the death benefit at the time we receive Due Proof of Death is less than $2,000, we will only pay a lump sum to the beneficiary. If periodic payments due under the planned death benefit election are less than $100, we reserve the right to make Annuity Payments at less frequent intervals, resulting in a payment of at least $100 per year. If no beneficiary is alive when death benefits become payable, we will pay the death benefit as provided in your Contract. 36

DEATH PROCEEDS AFTER THE MATURITY DATE If any Contract Owner or the Annuitant dies on or after the Maturity Date, the Company will pay the beneficiary a death benefit consisting of any benefit remaining under the annuity or income option then in effect. THE ANNUITY PERIOD MATURITY DATE Under the Contract, you can receive regular payments ("Annuity Payments"). You can choose the month and the year in which those payments begin (Maturity Date). You can also choose among income payouts (annuity or income options) or elect a lump sum distribution. While the Annuitant is alive, you can change your selection any time up to the Maturity Date. Annuity or income payments will begin on the Maturity Date stated in the Contract unless (1) you fully surrendered the Contract; (2) we paid the proceeds to the beneficiary before that date; or (3) you elected another date. Annuity Payments are a series of periodic payments (a) for life; (b) for life with a minimum number of payments; or (c) for the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and another person, and thereafter during the lifetime of the survivor. Income payments are for a fixed period or amount. We may require proof that the Annuitant is alive before we make Annuity Payments. Not all options may be available in all states. You may choose to annuitize at any time after the first Contract Date anniversary. Unless you elect otherwise, the Maturity Date will be the Annuitant's 70th birthday for Qualified Contracts and the Annuitant's 75th birthday for Non-qualified Contracts or ten years after the effective date of the Contract, if later (this requirement may be changed by us). At least 30 days before the original Maturity Date, you may elect to extend the Maturity Date to any time prior to the Annuitant's 85th birthday for Non-qualified Contracts or, for Qualified Contracts, to a later date with our consent. You may use certain annuity options taken at the Maturity Date to meet the minimum required distribution requirements of federal tax law, or you may use a program of withdrawals instead. These mandatory distribution requirements take effect generally upon the death of the Contract Owner, or with certain Qualified Contracts upon either the later of the Contract Owner's attainment of age 70 1/2 or year of retirement; or the death of the Contract Owner. You should seek independent tax advice regarding the election of minimum required distributions. ALLOCATION OF ANNUITY You may elect to receive your Annuity Payments in the form of a variable annuity, a fixed annuity, or a combination of both. If, at the time Annuity Payments begin, you have not made an election, we will apply your Cash Surrender Value to provide an annuity funded by the same funding options as you have selected during the accumulation period. At least 30 days before the Maturity Date, you may transfer the Contract Value among the funding options in order to change the basis on which we will determine Annuity Payments. (See Transfers.) VARIABLE ANNUITY You may choose an annuity payout that fluctuates depending on the investment experience of the Variable Funding Options. We determine the number of Annuity Units credited to the Contract by dividing the first monthly annuity payment attributable to each Variable Funding Option by the corresponding Accumulation Unit value as of 14 days before the date Annuity Payments begin. We use an Annuity Unit to measure the dollar value of an annuity payment. The number of Annuity Units (but not their value) remains fixed during the annuity period. 37
485BPOS145th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 145th
DETERMINATION OF FIRST ANNUITY PAYMENT. Your Contract contains the tables we use to determine your first monthly annuity payment. If you elect a variable annuity, the amount we apply to it will be the Cash Surrender Value as of 14 days before the date Annuity Payments begin, less any applicable premium taxes not previously deducted. The amount of your first monthly payment depends on the annuity option you elected and the Annuitant's adjusted age. Your Contract contains the formula for determining the adjusted age. We determine the total first monthly annuity payment by multiplying the benefit per $1,000 of value shown in the Contract tables by the number of thousands of dollars of Contract Value you apply to that annuity option. The Contract tables factor in an assumed daily net investment factor of 3.0%. We call this your net investment rate. Your net investment rate of 3% corresponds to an annual interest rate of 3%. This means that if the annualized investment performance, after expenses, of your Variable Funding Options is less than 3%, then the dollar amount of your variable Annuity Payments will decrease. However, if the annualized investment performance, after expenses, of your Variable Funding Options is greater than 3%, then the dollar amount of your variable Annuity Payments will increase. DETERMINATION OF SECOND AND SUBSEQUENT ANNUITY PAYMENTS. The dollar amount of all subsequent Annuity Payments changes from month to month based on the investment experience, as described above, of the applicable funding options. The total amount of each annuity payment will equal the sum of the basic payments in each funding option. We determine the actual amounts of these payments by multiplying the number of Annuity Units we credited to each funding option by the corresponding Annuity Unit value as of the date 14 days before the date the payment is due. FIXED ANNUITY You may choose a fixed annuity that provides payments that do not vary during the annuity period. We will calculate the dollar amount of the first fixed annuity payment as described under Variable Annuity, except that the amount we apply to begin the annuity will be your Cash Surrender Value as of the date Annuity Payments begin. Payout rates will not be lower than that shown in the Contract. If it would produce a larger payment, the first fixed Annuity Payment will be determined using the Life Annuity Tables in effect on the Maturity Date. PAYMENT OPTIONS ELECTION OF OPTIONS While the Annuitant is alive, you can change your annuity or income option selection any time up to the Maturity Date. Once annuity or income payments have begun, no further elections are allowed. During the Annuitant's lifetime, if you do not elect otherwise before the Maturity Date, we will pay you (or another designated payee) the first of a series of monthly annuity or income payments based on the life of the Annuitant, in accordance with Annuity Option 2 (Life Annuity with 120 monthly payments assured). For certain Qualified Contracts, Annuity Option 4 (Joint and Last Survivor Life Annuity -- Annuity Reduced on Death of Primary Payee) will be the automatic option as described in the Contract. The minimum amount that can be placed under an annuity or income option will be $2,000 unless we agree to a lesser amount. If any monthly periodic payment due is less than $100, the Company reserves the right to make payments at less frequent intervals, or to pay the Contract Value in a lump-sum. On the Maturity Date, we will pay the amount due under the Contract in accordance with the Payment Option that you select. You may choose to receive a single lump-sum payment. You must elect an option in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company. Any election made during the lifetime of the Annuitant must be made by the Contract Owner. 38
485BPOS146th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 146th
ANNUITY OPTIONS Subject to the conditions described in "Election of Options" above, we may pay all or any part of the Cash Surrender Value under one or more of the following annuity options. Payments under the annuity options are generally made on a monthly basis. We may offer additional options. Option 1 -- Life Annuity -- No Refund. The Company will make Annuity Payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant ending with the last payment before death. This option offers the maximum periodic payment, since there is no assurance of a minimum number of payments or provision for a death benefit for beneficiaries. Option 2 -- Life Annuity with 120, 180 or 240 Monthly Payments Assured. The Company will make monthly Annuity Payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant, with the agreement that if, at the death of that person, payments have been made for less than 120, 180 or 240 months, as elected, we will continue making payments to the beneficiary during the remainder of the period. Option 3 -- Joint and Last Survivor Life Annuity -- No Refund. The Company will make regular Annuity Payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant and a second person. When either person dies, we will continue making payments to the survivor. No further payments will be made following the death of the survivor. Option 4 -- Joint and Last Survivor Life Annuity -- Annuity Reduced on Death of Primary Payee. The Company will make Annuity Payments during the lifetimes of the Annuitant and a second person. You will designate one as primary payee, and the other will be designated as secondary payee. On the death of the secondary payee, the Company will continue to make monthly Annuity Payments to the primary payee in the same amount that would have been payable during the joint lifetime of the two persons. On the death of the primary payee, the Company will continue to make Annuity Payments to the secondary payee in an amount equal to 50% of the payments, which would have been made during the lifetime of the primary payee. No further payments will be made once both payees have died. Option 5 -- Other Annuity Options. The Company will make any other arrangements for Annuity Payments as may be mutually agreed upon. INCOME OPTIONS Instead of one of the annuity options described above, and subject to the conditions described under "Election of Options," all or part of the Contract's Cash Surrender Value (or, if required by state law, Contract Value) may be paid under one or more of the following income options, provided that they are consistent with federal tax law qualification requirements. Payments under the income options may be elected on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis: Option 1 -- Payments of a Fixed Amount. We will make equal payments of the amount elected until the Cash Surrender Value applied under this option has been exhausted. We will pay the first payment and all later payments from each funding option or the Fixed Account in proportion to the Cash Surrender Value attributable to each funding option and/or Fixed Account. The final payment will include any amount insufficient to make another full payment. Option 2 -- Payments for a Fixed Period. We will make payments for the period selected. The amount of each payment will be equal to the remaining Cash Surrender Value applied under this option divided by the number of remaining payments. Option 3 -- Other Income Options. We will make any other arrangements for income options as may be mutually agreed upon. VARIABLE LIQUIDITY BENEFIT This benefit is only offered with the income option "Payments for a Fixed Period." 39
485BPOS147th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 147th
At any time after annuitization and before death, the Contract Owner may surrender and receive a payment equal to (A) minus (B), where (A) equals the present value of remaining certain payments, and (B) equals a withdrawal charge not to exceed the maximum withdrawal charge rate shown on the specifications page of the Contract multiplied by (A). The interest rate used to calculate the present value is a rate 1% higher than the Assumed (Daily) Net Investment Factor used to calculate the Annuity Payments. The remaining period certain payments are assumed to be level payments equal to the most recent period certain payment prior to the request for this liquidity benefit. A withdrawal charge is not imposed if the surrender is made after the expiration of the withdrawal charge period shown on the specifications page of the Contract. MISCELLANEOUS CONTRACT PROVISIONS RIGHT TO RETURN You may return the Contract for a full refund of the Contract Value plus any Contract charges and premium taxes you paid (but not any fees and charges the Underlying Fund assessed) within twenty days after you receive it (the "right to return period"). You bear the investment risk of investing in the Variable Funding Options during the right to return period; therefore, the Contract Value we return may be greater or less than your Purchase Payment. If you purchase the Contract as an Individual Retirement Annuity, and return it within the first seven days after delivery, or longer if your state law permits, we will refund your Purchase Payment in full; during the remainder of the right to return period, we will refund the Contract Value (including charges). We will determine the Contract Value following the close of the business day on which we receive your Contract and a Written Request for a refund. Where state law requires a different period, or the return of Purchase Payments or other variations of this provision, we will comply. Refer to your Contract for any state-specific information. TERMINATION We reserve the right to terminate the Contract on any business day if your Contract Value as of that date is less than $1,000 and you have not made Purchase Payments for at least two years, unless otherwise specified by state law. Termination will not occur until 31 days after we have mailed notice of termination to your last known address and to any assignee of record. If we terminate the Contract, we will pay you the Cash Surrender Value less any applicable taxes. In certain states, we may be required to pay you the Contract Value. REQUIRED REPORTS As often as required by law, but at least once in each Contract Year before the due date of the first annuity payment, we will furnish a report showing the number of Accumulation Units credited to the Contract and the corresponding Accumulation Unit value(s) as of the report date for each funding option to which the Contract Owner has allocated amounts during the applicable period. The Company will keep all records required under federal and state laws. SUSPENSION OF PAYMENTS The Company reserves the right to suspend or postpone the date of any payment or determination of values on any business day (1) when the New York Stock Exchange ("the Exchange") is closed; (2) when trading on the Exchange is restricted; (3) when an emergency exists as determined by the SEC so that the sale of securities held in the Separate Account may not reasonably occur or so that the Company may not reasonably determine the value the Separate Account's net assets; or (4) during any other period when the SEC, by order, so permits for the protection of security holders. Payments from the Fixed Account may be delayed up to 6 months. 40

THE SEPARATE ACCOUNTS MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and MetLife Life and Annuity Company of Connecticut each sponsor Separate Accounts: Fund ABD and Fund ABD II, respectively. References to "Separate Account" refer either to Fund ABD or Fund ABD II, depending on the issuer of your Contract. Both Fund ABD and Fund ABD II were established on October 17, 1995 and are registered with the SEC as unit investment trusts (Separate Account) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. We will invest Separate Account assets attributable to the Contracts exclusively in the shares of the Variable Funding Options. We hold the assets of Fund ABD and Fund ABD II for the exclusive and separate benefit of the owners of each Separate Account, according to the laws of Connecticut. Income, gains and losses, whether or not realized, from assets allocated to the Separate Account are, in accordance with the Contracts, credited to or charged against the Separate Account without regard to other income, gains and losses of the Company. The assets held by the Separate Account are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business that we may conduct. Obligations under the Contract are obligations of the Company. All investment income and other distributions of the funding options are payable to the Separate Account. We reinvest all such income and/or distributions in shares of the respective funding option at net asset value. Shares of the funding options are currently sold only to life insurance company separate accounts to fund variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts. Certain variable annuity separate accounts and variable life insurance separate accounts may invest in the funding options simultaneously (called "mixed" and "shared" funding). It is conceivable that in the future it may be disadvantageous to do so. Although the Company and the Variable Funding Options do not currently foresee any such disadvantages either to variable annuity contract owners or variable life policy owners, each Underlying Fund's Board of Directors intends to monitor events in order to identify any material conflicts between them and to determine what action, if any, should be taken. If a Board of Directors was to conclude that separate funds should be established for variable life and variable annuity separate accounts, the variable annuity contract owners would not bear any of the related expenses, but variable annuity contract owners and variable life insurance policy owners would no longer have the economies of scale resulting from a larger combined fund. We reserve the right to transfer assets of the Separate Account to another separate account, and to modify the structure or operation of the Separate Account, subject to the necessary regulatory approvals. If we do so, we guarantee that the modification will not affect your Contract Value. PERFORMANCE INFORMATION In advertisements for the Contract, we may include performance figures to show you how a Variable Funding Option has performed in the past. These figures are rates of return or yield quotations shown as a percent. These figures show past performance of a Variable Funding Option and are not an indication of how a Variable Funding Option will perform in the future. Our advertisements may show performance figures assuming that you do not elect any optional features such as the E.S.P. However, if you elect any of these optional features, they involve additional charges that will serve to decrease the performance of your Variable Funding Options. You may wish to speak with your registered representative to obtain performance information specific to the optional features you may wish to select. Performance figures for each Variable Funding Option are based in part on the performance of a corresponding Underlying Fund. In some cases, the Underlying Fund may have existed before the technical inception of the corresponding Variable Funding Option. In those cases, we can create "hypothetical historical performance" of a Variable Funding Option. These figures show the performance that the Variable Funding Option would have achieved had it been available during the entire history of the Underlying Fund. 41

In a low interest rate environment, yields for money market Subaccounts, after deduction of the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, Administrative Expense Charge and the charge for any optional benefit riders (if applicable), may be negative even though the Underlying Fund's yield, before deducting for such charges, is positive. If you allocate a portion of your Contract Value to a money market Subaccount or participate in an asset allocation program where Contract Value is allocated to a money market Subaccount under the applicable asset allocation model, that portion of your Contract Value may decrease in value. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS The following general discussion of the federal income tax consequences related to your investment in this Contract is not intended to cover all situations, and is not meant to provide tax or legal advice. Because of the complexity of the law and the fact that the tax results will vary depending on many factors, you should consult your tax and/or legal adviser regarding the tax implications of purchasing this Contract based upon your individual situation. For further tax information, an additional discussion of certain tax matters is contained in the SAI. GENERAL TAXATION OF ANNUITIES Congress has recognized the value of saving for retirement by providing certain tax benefits, in the form of tax deferral, for premiums paid under an annuity and permitting tax-free transfers between the various investment options offered under the Contract. The Internal Revenue Code ("Code") governs how earnings on your investment in the Contract are ultimately taxed, depending upon the type of contract, qualified or non-qualified, and the manner in which the money is distributed, as briefly described below. In analyzing the benefits of tax deferral it is important to note that the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 amended Code Section 1 to reduce the marginal tax rates on long-term capital gains and dividends to 5% and 15%, respectively. The reduced rates apply during 2003 through 2008, and thereafter will increase to prior levels. Under current federal income tax law, the taxable portion of distributions under variable annuity contracts and qualified plans (including IRAs) is not eligible for the reduced tax rate applicable to long-term capital gains and dividends. Earnings under annuity contracts, like interest payable on fixed investments (notes, bonds, etc.) continue to be taxed as ordinary income (top rate of 35%). STATE AND LOCAL TAXES. The rules for state and local income taxes may differ from the federal income tax rules. Purchasers and prospective purchasers of the Contract should consult their own tax advisors and the law of the applicable taxing jurisdiction to determine what rules and tax benefits apply to the contract. PENALTY TAX FOR PREMATURE DISTRIBUTIONS. For both Qualified and Non-qualified Contracts, taxable distributions taken before the Contract Owner has reached the age of 59-1/2 will be subject to a 10% additional tax penalty unless the distribution is taken in a series of periodic distributions, for life or life expectancy, or unless the distribution follows the death or disability of the Contract Owner. Other exceptions may be available in certain qualified plans. The 10% tax penalty is in addition to any other penalties that may apply under your Contract and the normal income taxes due on the distribution. TAX-FREE EXCHANGES. Code Section 1035 provides that, if certain conditions are met, no gain or loss is recognized when an annuity contract is received in exchange for a life insurance, endowment, or annuity contract. Since different annuity contracts have different expenses, fees and benefits, a tax-free exchange could result in your investment becoming subject to higher or lower fees and/or expenses. FEDERAL ESTATE TAXES. While no attempt is being made to discuss the Federal estate tax implications of the Contract, you should keep 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 42
485BPOS150th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 150th
included in the gross estate may be the value of the lump sum payable to the designated beneficiary or the actuarial value of the payments to be received by the beneficiary. Consult an estate planning advisor 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 the Company to deduct the tax from your Contract or from any applicable payment and pay it directly to the IRS. TYPES OF CONTRACTS: QUALIFIED AND NON-QUALIFIED QUALIFIED ANNUITY CONTRACTS If you purchase your Contract with proceeds of an eligible rollover distribution from any tax-qualified employee pension or retirement savings plan or individual retirement annuity (IRA), your Contract is referred to as a Qualified Contract. Some examples of Qualified Contracts are: IRAs (including Roth IRAs), tax sheltered annuities established by public school systems or certain tax exempt organizations under Code Section 403(b), corporate-sponsored pension, retirement savings and profit sharing plans (including 401(k) plans), Keogh Plans (for self-employed individuals), and certain other qualified deferred compensation plans. The rights and benefits under a Qualified Contract may be limited by the terms of the retirement plan, regardless of the terms and conditions of the Contract. Plan participants making contributions to Qualified Contracts will be subject to the required minimum distribution rules as provided by the Code and described below. All qualified plans (including IRAs) receive tax-deferral under the Code. Although there are no additional tax benefits to funding your qualified plan or IRA with an annuity, it does offer you additional insurance benefits, such as the availability of a guaranteed income for life. TAXATION OF QUALIFIED ANNUITY CONTRACTS Under a qualified annuity, since amounts paid into the Contract generally have not yet been taxed, the full amount of any distributions (including the amount attributable to Purchase Payments), whether paid in the form of lump sum withdrawals or Annuity Payments, are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates unless the distribution is transferred to an eligible rollover account or contract. There are special rules which govern the taxation of Qualified Contracts, including withdrawal restrictions, requirements for mandatory distributions, and contribution limits. Amounts rolled over to the Contract from other qualified funding vehicles generally are not subject to current taxation. HURRICANE RELIEF LOANS. Your plan may provide for increased limits and delayed repayment of participant loans, where otherwise permitted by your plan, pursuant to the Katrina Emergency Tax Relief Act of 2005 and the Gulf Opportunity Zone Act of 2005. An eligible retirement plan other than an IRA may allow a plan loan to delay loan repayment by certain individuals impacted by Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma , whose principal places of abode on certain dates were located in statutorily defined disaster areas and who sustained an economic loss due to the hurricane. Generally, if the due date for any repayment with respect to such loan occurs during a period beginning on September 23, 2005 (for purposes of Hurricane Katrina) or October 23, 2005 (for purposes of Hurricanes Rita and Wilma) and ending on December 31, 2006, then such due date may be delayed for one year. Note: For purposes of these loan rules, an individual cannot be a qualified individual with respect to more than one hurricane. Consult your tax advisor to determine if hurricane relief is available to your particular situation. 43

MANDATORY DISTRIBUTIONS FOR QUALIFIED PLANS Federal tax law requires that minimum annual distributions begin by April 1st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which an IRA owner attains age 70-1/2. Participants in qualified plans and 403(b) annuities may defer minimum distributions until the later of April 1st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which they attain age 70-1/2 or the year of retirement (except for participants who are 5% or more owners of the plan sponsor). If you own more than one individual retirement annuity and/or account, you may satisfy the minimum distribution rules on an aggregate basis (i.e. determine the total amount of required distributions from all IRAs and take the required amount from any one or more IRAs). A similar aggregate approach is available to meet your 403(b) minimum distribution requirements if you have multiple 403(b) annuities. Recently promulgated Treasury regulations changed the distribution requirements; therefore, it is important that you consult your tax adviser as to the impact of these regulations on your personal situation. MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS FOR BENEFICIARIES UPON THE CONTRACT OWNER'S DEATH: Upon the death of the Contract Owner and/or Annuitant of a Qualified Contract, the funds remaining in the Contract must be completely withdrawn within five years from the date of death or minimum distributions may be taken over the life expectancy of the individual beneficiaries (or in the case of certain trusts that are contract beneficiaries, over the life expectancy of the individuals who are the beneficiaries of the trust), provided such distributions are payable at least annually and begin within one year from the date of death. Special rules apply where the beneficiary is the surviving spouse, which allow the spouse to assume the Contract and defer the minimum distribution requirements. Final income tax regulations regarding minimum distribution requirements were released in June 2004. These regulations affect both deferred and income annuities. Under these new rules, effective with respect to minimum distributions required for the 2006 distribution year, in general, the value of all benefits under a deferred annuity (including death benefits in excess of cash value, including the Earnings Preservation Benefit, as well as all living benefits such as GMIB and GMWB) must be added to the account value in computing the amount required to be distributed over the applicable period. We will provide you with additional information as to the amount of your interest in the Contract that is subject to required minimum distributions under this new rule and either compute the required amount for you or offer to do so at your request. The new rules are not entirely clear and you should consult your personal tax advisor as to how these rules affect your Contract. NOTE TO PARTICIPANTS IN QUALIFIED PLANS INCLUDING 401, 403(B), 457 AS WELL AS IRA OWNERS: While annual plan contribution limits may be increased from time to time by Congress and the IRS for federal income tax purposes, these limits must be adopted by each state for any higher limits to be effective at a state income tax level. In other words, the permissible contribution limits for federal and state income tax purposes may be different. Therefore, in certain states, a portion of the contributions may not be excludible or deductible from state income taxes. Please consult your employer or tax adviser regarding this issue. INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITIES To the extent of earned income for the year and not exceeding the applicable limit for the taxable year, an individual may make deductible contributions to an individual retirement annuity (IRA). The applicable limit ($2,000 per year prior to 2002) has been increased by the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 ("EGTRRA"). The limit is $3,000 for calendar years 2002-2004, $4,000 for calendar years 2005-2007, and will be indexed for inflation in years subsequent to 2008. Additional "catch-up contributions" may be made to an IRA by individuals age 50 or over. There are certain limits on the deductible amount based on the adjusted gross income of the individual and spouse and on their participation in a retirement plan. If an individual is married and the spouse is not employed, the individual may establish IRAs for the individual and spouse. Purchase Payments may then be made annually into IRAs for both spouses in the maximum amount of 100% of earned income up to a combined limit based on the individual limits outlined above. Deductible contributions to an IRA and Roth IRA for the year must be aggregated for purposes of the individual Code Section 408A limits and the Code Section 219 limits (age 50+catch-up). Partial or full distributions are treated as ordinary income, except that amounts contributed after 1986 on a non-deductible basis are not includable in income when distributed. An additional tax of 10% will apply to any taxable distribution from the IRA that is received by the participant before the age of 59 1/2 except by reason of death, disability or as part of a series of payments for life or life expectancy. Distributions must commence by April 1st of the calendar year after the close of the calendar year in which the individual attains the age of 70 1/2. Certain other mandatory distribution rules apply on the death of the individual. The individual must maintain personal and tax return records of any non-deductible contributions and distributions. Section 408 (k) of the Code provides for the purchase of a Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) plan. A SEP is funded through an IRA and can accept an annual employer contribution limited to the lesser of $42,000 or 100% of pay for each participant in 2005 ($44,000 for 2006). ROTH IRAs Effective January 1, 1998, Section 408A of the Code permits certain individuals to contribute to a Roth IRA. Eligibility to make contributions is based upon income, and the applicable limits vary based on marital status and/or whether the contribution is a rollover contribution from another IRA or an annual contribution. Contributions to a Roth IRA, which are subject to certain limitations, (similar to the annual limits for traditional IRAs), are not deductible and must be made in cash or as a rollover or transfer from another Roth IRA or other IRA. A conversion of "traditional" IRA to a Roth IRA may be subject to tax and other special rules apply. You should consult a tax adviser before combining any converted amounts with other Roth IRA contributions, including any other conversion amounts from other tax years. Qualified distributions from a Roth IRA are tax-free. A qualified distribution requires that the Roth IRA has been held for at least 5 years, and the distribution is made after age 59 1/2, on death or disability of the owner, or for a limited amount ($10,000) for a qualified first time home purchase for the owner or certain relatives. Income tax and a 10% penalty tax may apply to distributions made (1) before age 59 1/2 (subject to certain exceptions) or (2) during five taxable years starting with the year in which the first contribution is made to the Roth IRA. NON-QUALIFIED ANNUITY CONTRACTS If you purchase the Contract on an individual basis with after-tax dollars and not under one of the programs described above, your Contract is referred to as non-qualified. As the owner of a non-qualified annuity, you do not receive any tax benefit (deduction or deferral of income) on Purchase Payments, but you will not be taxed on increases in the value of your Contract until a distribution occurs -- either as a withdrawal made prior to the Maturity Date or in the form of periodic Annuity Payments. As a general rule, there is income in the Contract (earnings) to the extent the Contract Value exceeds your investment in the Contract. The investment in the Contract equals the total Purchase Payments less any amount received previously which was excludible from gross income. Generally, different tax rules apply to Annuity Payments than to withdrawals and payments received before the annuity starting date. When a withdrawal is made, you are taxed on the amount of the withdrawal that is considered earnings under federal tax laws. 44
485BPOS152nd Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 152nd
Similarly, when you receive an Annuity Payment, part of each periodic payment is considered a return of your Purchase Payments and will not be taxed, but the remaining portion of the Annuity Payment (i.e., any earnings) will be considered ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. Annuity Payments are subject to an "excludable amount" or "exclusion ratio" which determines how much of each payment is treated as: - a non-taxable return of your purchase payment; or - a taxable payment of earnings. We generally will tell you how much of each Annuity Payment is a non-taxable return of your Purchase Payments. However, it is possible that the IRS could conclude that the taxable portion of Annuity 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. Generally, once the total amount treated as a non-taxable return of your Purchase Payments equals your Purchase Payments, then all remaining payments are fully taxable. We will withhold a portion of the taxable amount of your Annuity Payment for income taxes, unless you elect otherwise. The amount we withhold is determined by the Code. Code Section 72(s) requires that non-qualified annuity contracts meet minimum mandatory distribution requirements upon the death of the Contract Owner, including the death of either of the Joint Owners. If these requirements are not met, the Contract will not be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes and earnings under the Contract will be taxable currently, not when distributed. The distribution required depends, among other things, upon whether an annuity option is elected or whether the succeeding Contract Owner is the surviving spouse. We will administer contracts in accordance with these rules and we will notify you when you should begin receiving payments. There is a more complete discussion of these rules in the SAI. If a non-qualified annuity is owned by a non-natural person (e.g., a corporation), increases in the value of the Contract attributable to Purchase Payments made after February 28, 1986 are includable in income annually and taxed at ordinary income tax rates. Furthermore, for contracts issued after April 22, 1987, if the Contract is transferred to another person or entity without adequate consideration, all deferred increases in value will be treated as income for federal income tax purposes at the time of the transfer. PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS: If you make a partial withdrawal of your Contract Value, the distribution generally will be taxed as first coming from earnings (income in the Contract) and then from your Purchase Payments. These withdrawn earnings are includable in your taxable income. (See Penalty Tax for Premature Distributions below.) Any direct or indirect borrowing against the value of the Contract or pledging of the Contract as security for a loan will be treated as a cash distribution under the tax law, and will have tax consequences in the year taken. It should be noted that there is no guidance as to the determination of the amount of income in a Contract if it is issued with a Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (GMWB). Therefore, you should consult with your tax adviser as to the potential tax consequences of a partial surrender if your Contract is issued with a GMWB. PARTIAL ANNUITIZATIONS: At the present time the IRS has not approved the use of an exclusion ratio or exclusion amount when only part of your Contract Value is applied to a payment option. Currently, we will treat the application of less than your entire Contract Value under a Non-qualified Contract to a payment option (i.e. taking Annuity Payments) as a taxable withdrawal for federal income tax purposes (which may also be subject to the 10% penalty tax if you are under age 59-1/2). We will then treat the amount of the withdrawal (after any deductions for taxes) as the purchase price of an income annuity and tax report the income payments received that annuity under the rules for variable income annuities. Consult your tax attorney prior to partially annuitizing your Contract. We will determine the excludable amount for each income payment under the Contract as a whole by using the rules applicable to variable income payments in general (i.e. by dividing your after-tax purchase price, as adjusted for any refund or guarantee feature, by the number of 45
485BPOS153rd Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 153rd
expected income payments from the appropriate IRS table). However, the IRS may determine that the excludable amount is different from our computation. The tax law treats all non-qualified deferred annuities issued after October 21, 1988 by the same company (or its affiliates) to the same owner during any one calendar year as one annuity. This may cause a greater portion of your withdrawals from the Deferred Annuity to be treated as income than would otherwise be the case. Although the law is not clear, the aggregation rule may also adversely affect the tax treatment of payments received under an income annuity where the owner has purchased more than one non-qualified annuity during the same calendar year from the same or an affiliated company after October 21, 1988, and is not receiving income payments from all annuities at the same time. DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR VARIABLE ANNUITIES The Code requires that any non-qualified variable annuity contracts based on a Separate Account must meet specific diversification standards. Non-qualified variable annuity contracts shall not be treated as an annuity for federal income tax purposes if investments made in the account are not adequately diversified. Final tax regulations define how Separate Accounts must be diversified. The Company constantly monitors the diversification of investments and believes that its accounts are adequately diversified. The consequence of any failure to diversify is essentially the loss to the Contract Owner of tax-deferred treatment, requiring the current inclusion of a proportionate share of the income and gains from the Separate Account assets in the income of each Contract Owner. The Company intends to administer all contracts subject to this provision of law in a manner that will maintain adequate diversification. OWNERSHIP OF THE INVESTMENTS In certain circumstances, owners of variable annuity 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 Separate Account assets. There is little guidance in this area, and some features of the Contract, such as the number of funds available and the flexibility of the Contract Owner to allocate premium payments and transfer amounts among the funding options, 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. TAXATION OF DEATH BENEFIT PROCEEDS Amounts may be distributed from a Non-qualified Contract because of the death of an owner or Annuitant. Generally, such amounts are includable in the income of the recipient as follows: (i) if distributed in a lump sum, they are taxed in the same manner as a full surrender of the Contract; or (ii) if distributed under a payment option, they are taxed in the same way as Annuity Payments. OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS TREATMENT OF CHARGES FOR OPTIONAL BENEFITS The Contract may provide one or more optional enhanced death benefits or other minimum guaranteed benefit that in some cases may exceed the greater of purchase price or the Contract Value. It is possible that the Internal Revenue Service may take the position that the charges for the optional enhanced benefit(s) are deemed to be taxable distributions to you. Although we do not believe that a charge under such optional enhanced benefit should be treated as a taxable withdrawal, you should consult with your tax adviser before selecting any rider or endorsement to the Contract. 46
485BPOS154th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 154th
GUARANTEED BENEFITS. If you have purchased a GMWB, 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 amounts guaranteed to be available for withdrawal at the time of the withdrawal if greater than the account balance (prior to surrender charges). This could result in a greater amount of taxable income in certain cases. In general, at the present time, we intend to tax report such withdrawals using the account balance rather than the remaining benefit to determine gain. However, in cases where the maximum permitted withdrawal in any year under any version of the GMWB exceeds the account balance, 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. We reserve the right to change our tax reporting practices where we determine they are not in accordance with IRS guidance (whether formal or informal). PUERTO RICO TAX CONSIDERATIONS The Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 1994 (the "1994 Code") taxes distributions from non-qualified annuity 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 1994 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 (payable over your lifetime) is also calculated differently under the 1994 Code. Since Puerto Rico residents are also subject to U.S. income tax on all income other than income sourced to Puerto Rico and the Internal Revenue Service 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 1994 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. NON-RESIDENT ALIENS Distributions to non resident aliens ("NRAs") are subject to special and complex tax and withholding rules under the Code with respect to U.S. source income, some of which are based upon the particular facts and circumstances of the Contract Owner, the beneficiary and the transaction itself. As stated above, the IRS has taken the position that income from the Contract received by NRAs is considered U.S. source income. In addition, Annuity Payments to NRAs in many countries are exempt from U.S. tax (or subject to lower rates) based upon a tax treaty, provided that the Contract Owner complies with the applicable requirements. NRAs should seek guidance from a tax adviser regarding their personal situation.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financial statements for the Company and its Separate Account are located in the Statement of Additional Information. DISTRIBUTION OF VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACTS DISTRIBUTION AND PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT. MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and MetLife Life and Annuity Company of Connecticut (together the "Company") have appointed MLI Distribution LLC ("MLIDLLC") (formerly, Travelers Distribution LLC) to serve as the principal underwriter and distributor of the securities offered through this Prospectus, pursuant to the terms of a Distribution and Principal Underwriting Agreement. MLIDLLC, which is an affiliate of the Company, also acts as the principal underwriter and distributor of other variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies issued by the Company and its affiliated companies. The Company reimburses MLIDLLC for expenses MLIDLLC incurs in distributing the Contracts (e.g. commissions payable to retail broker-dealers who sell the Contracts). MLIDLLC does not retain any fees under the Contracts; however, MLIDLLC may receive 12b-1 fees from the Underlying Funds. MLIDLLC's principal executive offices are located at One Cityplace, Hartford, Connecticut 06103. MLIDLLC is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as the securities commissions in the states in which it operates, and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"). MLIDLLC and the Company enter into selling agreements with affiliated and unaffiliated broker-dealers who are registered with the SEC and are members of the NASD, and with entities that may offer the Contracts but are exempt from registration. Applications for the Contract are solicited by registered representatives who are associated persons of such broker-dealer firms. Such representatives act as appointed agents of the Company under applicable state insurance law and must be licensed to sell variable insurance products. The Company no longer offers the Contracts to new purchasers, but it continues to accept Purchase Payments from existing Contract Owners. COMPENSATION. Broker-dealers who have selling agreements with MLIDLLC and the Company are paid compensation for the promotion and sale of the Contracts. Registered representatives who solicit sales of the Contract typically receive a portion of the compensation payable to the broker-dealer firm. The amount the registered representative receives depends on the agreement between the firm and the registered representative. This agreement may also provide for the payment of other types of cash and non-cash compensation and other benefits. A broker-dealer firm or registered representative of a firm may receive different compensation for selling one product over another and/or may be inclined to favor one product provider over another product provider due to differing compensation rates. We generally pay compensation as a percentage of Purchase Payments invested in the Contract. Alternatively, we may pay lower compensation on Purchase Payments but pay periodic asset- 48
485BPOS156th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 156th
based compensation based on all or a portion of the Contract Value. The amount and timing of compensation may vary depending on the selling agreement but is not expected to exceed 7.50% of Purchase Payments (if up-front compensation is paid to registered representatives) and up to 1.50% annually of average Contract Value (if asset-based compensation is paid to registered representatives). The Company and MLIDLLC have also entered into preferred distribution arrangements with certain broker-dealer firms. These arrangements are sometimes called "shelf space" arrangements. Under these arrangements, the Company and MLIDLLC pay separate, additional compensation to the broker-dealer firm for services the broker-dealer provides in connection with the distribution of the Company's products. These services may include providing the Company with access to the distribution network of the broker-dealer, the hiring and training of the broker-dealer's sales personnel, the sponsoring of conferences and seminars by the broker-dealer, or general marketing services performed by the broker-dealer. The broker-dealer may also provide other services or incur other costs in connection with distributing the Company's products. These preferred distribution arrangements will not be offered to all broker-dealer firms and the terms of such arrangements may differ between broker-dealer firms. Compensation payable under such arrangements may be based on aggregate, net or anticipated sales of the Contracts, total assets attributable to sales of the Contract by registered representatives of the broker-dealer firm or based on the length of time that a Contract Owner has owned the Contract. Any such compensation payable to a broker-dealer firm will be made by MLIDLLC or the Company out of their own assets and will not result in any additional direct charge to you. Such compensation may cause the broker-dealer firm and its registered representatives to favor the Company's products. The Company and MLIDLLC have entered into a preferred distribution arrangement with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (f/k/a Smith Barney) and Citicorp Investment Services, Inc., the only broker-dealer firms that are authorized by the Company and MLIDLLC to offer the Contracts. See the "Statement of Additional Information--DISTRIBUTION AND PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT" for a list of the broker-dealer firms that received such additional compensation during 2005, as well as the range of additional compensation paid. The Company and MLIDLLC have entered into selling agreements with certain broker-dealer firms that have an affiliate that acts as investment adviser or sub-adviser to one or more Underlying Funds that may be offered under the Contracts. These investment advisory firms include Fidelity Management & Research Company, Morgan Stanley Investment Advisers Inc., Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, L.P., MetLife Investment Funds Management LLC, MetLife Advisers, LLC and Met Investors Advisory LLC. MetLife Investment Funds Management LLC, MetLife Advisers, LLC and Met Investors Advisory LLC are affiliates of the Company. Registered representatives of broker-dealer firms with an affiliated company acting as an adviser or a sub-adviser may favor these Funds when offering the Contracts. 49

CONFORMITY WITH STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS The laws of the state in which we deliver a Contract govern that Contract. Where a state has not approved a Contract feature or funding option, it will not be available in that state. Any paid-up annuity, Cash Surrender Value or death benefits that are available under the Contract are not less than the minimum benefits required by the statutes of the state in which we delivered the Contract. We reserve the right to make any changes, including retroactive changes, in the Contract to the extent that the change is required to meet the requirements of any law or regulation issued by any governmental agency to which the Company, the Contract or the Contract Owner is subject. VOTING RIGHTS The Company is the legal owner of the shares of the Underlying Funds. However, we believe that when an Underlying Fund solicits proxies in conjunction with a vote of shareholders we are required to obtain from you and from other owners instructions on how to vote those shares. We will vote all shares, including those we may own on our own behalf, and those where we have not received instructions from Contract Owners, in the same proportion as shares for which we received voting instructions. Should we determine that we are no longer required to comply with the above, we will vote on the shares in our own right. In certain limited circumstances, and when permitted by law, we may disregard voting instructions. If we do disregard voting instructions, a summary of that action and the reasons for such action would be included in the next annual report to Contract Owners. RESTRICTIONS ON FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS Federal laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering might, in certain circumstances, require us to block a Contract Owner's ability to make certain transactions and thereby refuse to accept any request for transfers, withdrawals, surrenders, or death benefits, until the instructions are received from the appropriate regulator. We may also be required to provide additional information about you and your Contract to government regulators. 50

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In the ordinary course of business, the Company, 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, the Company does not believe any such action or proceeding will have a material adverse effect upon the Separate Account or upon the ability of MLIDLLC to perform its contract with the Separate Account or of the Company to meet its obligations under the Contracts. 51

APPENDIX C THE FIXED ACCOUNT The Fixed Account is part of the Company's general account assets. These general account assets include all assets of the Company other than those held in the Separate Accounts sponsored by the Company or its affiliates. The staff of the SEC does not generally review the disclosure in the prospectus relating to the Fixed Account. Disclosure regarding the Fixed Account and the general account may, however, be subject to certain provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in the prospectus. Under the Fixed Account, the Company assumes the risk of investment gain or loss, guarantees a specified interest rate, and guarantees a specified periodic annuity payment. The investment gain or loss of the Separate Account or any of the funding options does not affect the Fixed Account Contract Value, or the dollar amount of fixed Annuity Payments made under any payout option.

We guarantee that, at any time, the Fixed Account Contract Value will not be less than the amount of the Purchase Payments allocated to the Fixed Account, plus interest credited as described below, less any applicable premium taxes or prior withdrawals. Purchase Payments allocated to the Fixed Account and any transfers made to the Fixed Account become part of the Company's general account, which supports insurance and annuity obligations. Where permitted by state law, we reserve the right to restrict Purchase Payments into the Fixed Account whenever the credited interest rate on the Fixed Account is equal to the minimum guaranteed interest rate specified in your Contract. The general account and any interest therein is not registered under, or subject to the provisions of, the Securities Act of 1933 or Investment Company Act of 1940. We will invest the assets of the Fixed Account at our discretion. Investment income from such Fixed Account assets will be allocated to us and to the Contracts participating in the Fixed Account. Investment income from the Fixed Account allocated to us includes compensation for mortality and expense risks borne by us in connection with Fixed Account Contracts. The amount of such investment income allocated to the Contracts will vary from year to year in our sole discretion at such rate or rates as we prospectively declare from time to time. We guarantee the initial rate for any allocations into the Fixed Account for one year from the date of such allocation. We guarantee subsequent renewal rates for the calendar quarter. We also guarantee that for the life of the Contract we will credit interest at a rate not less than the minimum interest rate allowed by state law. We reserve the right to change the rate subject to applicable state law. We will determine any interest we credit to amounts allocated to the Fixed Account in excess of the minimum guaranteed rate in our sole discretion. You assume the risk that interest credited to the Fixed Account may not exceed the minimum guaranteed rate for any given year. We have no specific formula for determining the interest rate. Some factors we may consider are regulatory and tax requirements, general economic trends and competitive factors. TRANSFERS You may make transfers from the Fixed Account to any available Variable Funding Option(s) twice a year during the 30 days following the semiannual anniversary of the Contract Date. We limit transfers to an amount of up to 15% of the Fixed Account Contract Value on the semiannual Contract Date anniversary. (This restriction does not apply to transfers under the Dollar Cost Averaging Program.) Amounts previously transferred from the Fixed Account to Variable Funding Options may not be transferred back to the Fixed Account for a period of at least six months from the date of transfer. We reserve the right to waive either of these restrictions. Where permitted by state law, we reserve the right to restrict transfers into the Fixed Account whenever the credited interest rate on the Fixed Account is equal to the minimum guaranteed interest rate specified in your Contract.

SUMMARY: PREMIER ADVISERS ANNUITY THIS SUMMARY DETAILS SOME OF THE MORE IMPORTANT POINTS THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW AND CONSIDER BEFORE PURCHASING THE CONTRACT. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE PROSPECTUS CAREFULLY. WHAT COMPANY WILL ISSUE MY CONTRACT? Your issuing company is either MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut or MetLife Life and Annuity Company of Connecticut ("the Company," "We" or "Us"). MetLife Life and Annuity Company of Connecticut does not solicit or issue insurance products in the state of New York. Refer to your Contract for the name of your issuing company. Each company sponsors its own segregated account ("Separate Account"). MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut sponsors the MetLife of CT Fund ABD for Variable Annuities ("Fund ABD"); MetLife Life and Annuity Company of Connecticut sponsors the MetLife of CT Fund ABD II for Variable Annuities ("Fund ABD II"). When we refer to the Separate Account, we are referring to either Fund ABD or Fund ABD II, depending upon your issuing Company. Contracts issued in your state may provide different features and benefits from and impose different costs (such as a waiver of the withdrawal charge on all Annuity Payments) than those described in this prospectus. The Contract is not offered to new purchasers. CAN YOU GIVE ME A GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTRACT? We designed the Contract for retirement savings or other long-term investment purposes. The Contract provides a death benefit as well as guaranteed payout options. You direct your payment(s) to one or more of the Variable Funding Options and/or to the Fixed Account that is part of our general account (the "Fixed Account"). We guarantee money directed to the Fixed Account as to principal and interest. The Variable Funding Options fluctuate with the investment performance of the Underlying Funds and are not guaranteed. You can also lose money in the Variable Funding Options. The Contract, like all deferred variable annuity contracts, has two phases: the accumulation phase and the payout phase (annuity period). During the accumulation phase generally, under a Qualified Contract, your pre-tax contributions accumulate on a tax-deferred basis and are taxed as income when you make a withdrawal, presumably when you are in a lower tax bracket. During the accumulation phase, under a Non-qualified Contract, earnings on your after-tax contributions accumulate on a tax-deferred basis and are taxed as income when you make a withdrawal. The payout phase occurs when you begin receiving payments from your Contract. The amount of money you accumulate in your Contract determines the amount of income ("Annuity Payments") you receive during the payout phase. During the payout phase, you may choose one of a number of annuity options. You may receive income payments in the form of a variable annuity, a fixed annuity, or a combination of both. If you elect variable income payments, the dollar amount of your payments may increase or decrease. Once you choose one of the annuity options or income options and begin to receive payments, it cannot be changed. WHO CAN PURCHASE THIS CONTRACT? The Contract is currently available for use in connection with (1) individual non-qualified purchases; (2) rollovers from Individual Retirement Annuities (IRAs); (3) rollovers from other qualified retirement plans and (4) beneficiary-directed transfers of death proceeds from another contract. Qualified Contracts include Contracts qualifying under Section 401(a), 403(b), or 408(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Purchase of this Contract through a tax qualified retirement plan ("Plan") does not provide any additional tax deferral benefits beyond those provided by the Plan. Accordingly, if you are purchasing this Contract through a Plan, you should consider purchasing this Contract for its Death Benefit, Annuity Option Benefits, and other non-tax-related benefits. You may purchase the Contract with an initial payment of at least $5000. You may make additional payments of at least $500 at any time during the accumulation phase. No additional payments are allowed if this Contract is purchased with a beneficiary-directed transfer of death proceeds. CAN I EXCHANGE MY CURRENT ANNUITY CONTRACT FOR THIS CONTRACT? The Code generally permits you to exchange one annuity contract for another in a "tax-free exchange." Therefore, you can transfer the proceeds from another annuity Contract to purchase this Contract. Before making an exchange to acquire this Contract, you should carefully compare this Contract to your current Contract. You may have to pay a surrender charge under your current Contract to exchange it for this Contract, and this Contract has its own surrender charges that would apply to you. The other fees and charges under this Contract may be higher or lower and the benefits may be different than those of your current Contract. In addition, you may have to pay federal income or penalty taxes on the exchange if it does not qualify for tax-free treatment. You should not 6
485BPOS204th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 204th
exchange another Contract for this Contract unless you determine, after evaluating all the facts, the exchange is in your best interests. Remember that the person selling you the Contract generally will earn a commission on the sale. IS THERE A RIGHT TO RETURN PERIOD? If you cancel the Contract within twenty days after you receive it, you will receive a full refund of your Contract Value plus any Contract charges and premium taxes you paid (but not fees and charges assessed by the Underlying Funds). Where state law requires a different right to return period, or the return of Purchase Payments, the Company will comply. You bear the investment risk on the Purchase Payment allocated to a Variable Funding Option during the right to return period; therefore, the Contract Value we return may be greater or less than your Purchase Payment. If you purchased your Contract as an Individual Retirement Annuity, and you return it within the first seven days after delivery, or longer if your state law permits, we will refund your full Purchase Payment. During the remainder of the right to return period, we will refund your Contract Value (including charges we assessed). We will determine your Contract Value at the close of business on the day we receive a Written Request for a refund. CAN YOU GIVE A GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE VARIABLE FUNDING OPTIONS AND HOW THEY OPERATE? The Variable Funding Options represent Subaccounts of The Separate Account. At your direction, the Separate Account, through its Subaccounts, uses your Purchase Payments to purchase shares of one or more of the Underlying Funds that holds securities consistent with its own investment policy. Depending on market conditions, you may make or lose money in any of these Variable Funding Options. You can transfer among the Variable Funding Options as frequently as you wish without any current tax implications. Currently there is no limit to the number of transfers allowed. We may, in the future, limit the number of transfers allowed. At a minimum, we would always allow one transfer every six months. We reserve the right to restrict transfers that we determine will disadvantage other Contract Owners. You may transfer between the Fixed Account and the Variable Funding Options twice a year (during the 30 days after the six-month Contract Date anniversary), provided the amount is not greater than 15% of the Fixed Account value on that date. Amounts previously transferred from the Fixed Account to variable funding options may not be transferred back to the Fixed Account for a period of at least six months from the date of transfer. WHAT EXPENSES WILL BE ASSESSED UNDER THE CONTRACT? The Contract has insurance features and investment features, and there are costs related to each. We deduct an administrative expense charge and a mortality and expense risk ("M&E") charge daily from amounts you allocate to the Separate Account. We deduct the administrative expense charge at an annual rate of 0.15% and deduct the M&E charge at an annual rate of 1.25%. For Contracts with a value of less than $40,000, we also deduct an annual contract administrative charge of $30. Each Underlying Fund also charges for management costs and other expenses. We will apply a withdrawal charge to withdrawals from the Contract, and will calculate it as a percentage of the Purchase Payments. The maximum percentage is 6%, decreasing to 0% after seven full years. If the Variable Liquidity Benefit is selected, there is a maximum charge of 6% of the amounts withdrawn. Please refer to Payment Options for a description of this benefit. HOW WILL MY PURCHASE PAYMENTS AND WITHDRAWALS BE TAXED? Generally, the payments you make to a Qualified Contract during the accumulation phase are made with before-tax dollars. Generally, you will be taxed on your Purchase Payments and on any earnings when you make a withdrawal or begin receiving Annuity Payments. Under a Non-qualified Contract, payments to the Contract are made with after-tax dollars, and earnings will generally accumulate tax-deferred. You will be taxed on these earnings when they are withdrawn from the Contract. If you are younger than 59 1/2 when you take money out, you may be charged a 10% federal penalty tax on the amount withdrawn. For owners of Qualified Contracts, if you reach a certain age, you may be required by federal tax laws to begin receiving payments from your annuity or risk paying a penalty tax. In those cases, we can calculate and pay you the minimum required distribution amounts. HOW MAY I ACCESS MY MONEY? You can take withdrawals any time during the accumulation phase. Withdrawal charges may apply, as well as income taxes, and/or a penalty tax on amounts withdrawn. WHAT IS THE DEATH BENEFIT UNDER THE CONTRACT? The death benefit applies upon the first death of the Contract Owner, joint owner, or Annuitant. Assuming you are the Annuitant, the death benefit is as follows: If you die before the Contract is in the payout phase, the person you have chosen as your beneficiary will 7
485BPOS205th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 205th
receive a death benefit. We calculate the death benefit value at the close of the business day on which our Home Office receives (1) Due Proof of Death and (2) written payment instructions or the election of spousal contract continuance or beneficiary contract continuance. Please refer to the Death Benefit section in the prospectus for more details. WHERE MAY I FIND OUT MORE ABOUT ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUES? The Condensed Financial Information in Appendix A or Appendix B to this prospectus provides more information about Accumulation Unit values. ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL FEATURES? This Contract has other features you may be interested in. These include: - DOLLAR COST AVERAGING. This is a program that allows you to invest a fixed amount of money in Variable Funding Options each month, theoretically giving you a lower average cost per unit over time than a single one-time purchase. Dollar Cost Averaging requires regular investments regardless of fluctuating price levels, and does not guarantee profits or prevent losses in a declining market. Potential investors should consider their financial ability to continue purchases through periods of low price levels. - SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL OPTION. Before the Maturity Date, you can arrange to have money sent to you at set intervals throughout the year. Of course, any applicable income and penalty taxes will apply on amounts withdrawn. Withdrawals in excess of the annual free withdrawal allowance may be subject to a withdrawal charge. - AUTOMATIC REBALANCING. You may elect to have the Company periodically reallocate the values in your Contract to match the rebalancing allocation selected. - BENEFICIARY CONTRACT CONTINUANCE (NOT PERMITTED FOR NON-NATURAL BENEFICIARIES). If you die before the Maturity Date, and if the value of any beneficiary's portion of the death benefit is between $20,000 and $1,000,000 as of the date of your death, that beneficiary(s) may elect to continue his/her portion of the Contract rather than have the death benefit paid to the beneficiary. 8

EXAMPLE The example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include Contract Owner transaction expenses, Contract fees, separate account annual expenses, and Underlying Fund total annual operating expenses. The example does not represent past or future expenses. Your actual expenses may be more or less than those shown. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated and that your investment has a 5% return each year. The example reflects the annual Contract administrative charge, factoring in that the charge is waived for contracts over a certain value. Additionally, the example is based on the minimum and maximum Underlying Fund total annual operating expenses shown above, and does not reflect any Underlying Fund fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. The example assumes that you have allocated all of your Contract Value to either the Underlying Fund with the maximum total annual operating expenses or the Underlying Fund with the minimum total annual operating expenses.

THE ANNUITY CONTRACT Premier Advisers Annuity is a contract between the Contract Owner ("you") and the Company. This is the prospectus -- it is not the Contract. The prospectus highlights many Contract provisions to focus your attention on the Contract's essential features. Your rights and obligations under the Contract will be determined by the language of the Contract itself. When you receive your Contract, we suggest you read it promptly and carefully. There may be differences in your Contract from the descriptions in this prospectus because of the requirements of the state where we issued your Contract. We will include any such differences in your Contract. The Company offers several different annuities that your investment professional may be authorized to offer to you. Each annuity offers different features and benefits that may be appropriate for you. In particular, the annuities differ based on variations in the standard and optional death benefit protection provided for your beneficiaries, the availability of optional living benefits, the ability to access your Contract Value if necessary and the charges that you will be subject to if you make a withdrawal or surrender the annuity. The separate account charges and other charges may be different between each annuity we offer. Optional death benefits and living benefits are subject to a separate charge for the additional protections they offer to you and your beneficiaries. Furthermore, annuities that offer greater flexibility to access your Contract Value generally are subject to higher separate account charges than annuities that deduct charges if you make a withdrawal or surrender. We encourage you to evaluate the fees, expenses, benefits and features of this annuity against those of other investment products, including other annuity products offered by us and other insurance companies. Before purchasing this or any other investment product you should consider whether the product you purchase is consistent with your risk tolerance, investment objectives, investment time horizon, financial and tax situation, liquidity needs and how you intend to use the annuity. You make Purchase Payments to us and we credit them to your Contract. We promise to pay you an income, in the form of annuity or income payments, beginning on a future date that you choose, the Maturity Date. 14
485BPOS212th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 212th
The Purchase Payments accumulate tax deferred in the funding options of your choice. We offer multiple Variable Funding Options, and one Fixed Account option. The Contract Owner assumes the risk of gain or loss according to the performance of the Variable Funding Options. The Contract Value is the amount of Purchase Payments, plus or minus any investment experience on the amounts you allocate to the Separate Account ("Separate Account Contract Value") or interest on the amounts you allocate to the Fixed Account ("Fixed Account Contract Value"). The Contract Value also reflects all withdrawals made and charges deducted. There is generally no guarantee that at the Maturity Date the Contract Value will equal or exceed the total Purchase Payments made under the Contract. The date the Contract and its benefits become effective is referred to as the Contract Date. Each 12-month period following the Contract Date is called a Contract Year. Certain changes and elections must be made in writing to the Company. Where the term "Written Request" is used, it means that you must send written information to our Home Office in a form and content satisfactory to us. The Contracts are not offered to new purchasers. Purchase of this Contract through a tax qualified retirement plan or IRA does not provide any additional tax deferral benefits beyond those provided by the plan or the IRA. Accordingly, if you are purchasing this Contract through a plan or IRA, you should consider purchasing this Contract for its Death Benefit, Annuity Option Benefits, and other non-tax-related benefits. You should consult with your tax adviser to determine if this Contract is appropriate for you. CONTRACT OWNER INQUIRIES Any questions you have about your Contract should be directed to our Home Office at 1-800-599-9460. PURCHASE PAYMENTS Your initial Purchase Payment is due and payable before the Contract becomes effective. The initial Purchase Payment must be at least $5,000. You may make additional payments of at least $500 at any time. No additional payments are allowed if this Contract is purchased with a beneficiary-directed transfer of death benefit proceeds. Under certain circumstances, we may waive the minimum Purchase Payment requirement. Purchase Payments over $1,000,000 may be made only with our prior consent. We will apply the initial Purchase Payment less any applicable premium tax within two business days after we receive it at our Home Office with a properly completed application or order request. If your request or other information accompanying the initial Purchase Payment is incomplete when received, we will hold the Purchase Payment for up to five business days. If we cannot obtain the necessary information within five business days, we will return the Purchase Payment in full, unless you specifically consent for us to keep it until you provide the necessary information. We will credit any subsequent Purchase Payment to a Contract on the same business day we receive it, if it is received in good order by our Home Office by 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. A business day is any day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for regular trading (except when trading is restricted due to an emergency as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission). ACCUMULATION UNITS The period between the Contract Date and the Maturity Date is the Accumulation Period. During the Accumulation Period, an Accumulation Unit is used to calculate the value of a Contract. Each Variable Funding Option has a corresponding Accumulation Unit value. The Accumulation Units are valued each business day and their values may increase or decrease from day to day. The daily change in value of an Accumulation Unit each day is based on the investment performance of the corresponding Underlying Fund, and the deduction of separate account charges shown in the Fee Table in this prospectus. The number of Accumulation Units we will credit to your Contract once we receive a Purchase Payment is determined by dividing the amount directed to each Variable Funding Option by the value of its Accumulation Unit. Normally, we calculate the value of an Accumulation Unit for each Variable Funding Option as of the close of regular trading (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) each day the New York Stock Exchange is open. After the value is calculated, we credit your Contract. During the Annuity Period (i.e., after the Maturity Date), you are credited with Annuity Units. 15

THE VARIABLE FUNDING OPTIONS You choose the Variable Funding Options to which you allocate your Purchase Payments. From time to time we may make new Variable Funding Options available. These Variable Funding Options are Subaccounts of the Separate Account. The Subaccounts invest in the Underlying Funds. You are not investing directly in the Underlying Fund. Each Underlying Fund is a portfolio of an open-end management investment company that is registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940. These Underlying Funds are not publicly traded and are offered only through variable annuity contracts, variable life insurance policies, and in some instances, certain retirement plans. They are not the same retail mutual funds as those offered outside of a variable annuity or variable life insurance product, although the investment practices and fund names may be similar, and the portfolio managers may be identical. Accordingly, the performance of the retail mutual fund is likely to be different from that of the Underlying Fund, and Contract Owners should not compare the two. We select the Underlying Funds offered through this Contract based on several criteria, including asset class coverage, the strength of the adviser's or sub-adviser'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 Underlying Fund's adviser or sub-adviser is one of our affiliates or whether the Underlying Fund, its adviser, its sub-adviser(s), or an affiliate will compensate us or our affiliates for providing certain administrative, marketing and other support services that would otherwise be provided by the Underlying Fund, the Underlying Fund's investment adviser, or its distributor. In some cases, we have included Underlying Funds based on recommendations made by broker-dealer firms. When we develop a variable product in cooperation with a fund family or distributor (e.g., a "private label" product), we will generally include Underlying Funds based on recommendations made by the fund family or distributor, whose selection criteria may differ from our selection criteria. We review the Underlying Funds periodically and may remove an Underlying Fund or limit its availability to new Purchase Payments and/or transfers of Contract Value if we determine that the Underlying Fund no longer meets one or more of the selection criteria, and/or if the Underlying Fund has not attracted significant allocations from owners. We do not provide investment advice and do not recommend or endorse any particular Underlying Fund. In certain circumstances, our ability to remove or replace an Underlying Fund may be limited by the terms of a five-year agreement between MetLife, Inc. ("MetLife") and Legg Mason, Inc. ("Legg Mason") relating to the use of certain Underlying Funds advised by Legg Mason affiliates. The agreement sets forth the conditions under which we can remove an Underlying Fund, which, in some cases, may differ from our selection criteria. In addition, during the term of the agreement, subject to our fiduciary and other legal duties, we are generally obligated in the first instance to consider Underlying Funds advised by Legg Mason affiliates in seeking to make a substitution for an Underlying Fund advised by a Legg Mason affiliate. The agreement was originally entered into on July 1, 2005 by MetLife and certain affiliates of Citigroup Inc. ("Citigroup") as part of MetLife's acquisition of The Travelers Insurance Company and The Travelers Life and Annuity Company from Citigroup. Legg Mason replaced the Citigroup affiliates as a party to the agreement when Citigroup sold its asset management business to Legg Mason. If investment in the Underlying Funds or a particular Underlying Fund is no longer possible, in our judgment becomes inappropriate for the purposes of the Contract, or for any other reason in our sole discretion, we may substitute another Underlying Fund or Underlying Funds without your consent. The substituted Underlying Fund(s) 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 Underlying Funds to allocations of Purchase Payments or Contract Value, or both, at any time in our sole discretion. You will find detailed information about the Underlying Funds and their inherent risks in the current prospectuses for the Underlying Funds. Since each Variable Funding Option has varying degrees of risk, please read the prospectuses carefully before investing. There is no assurance that any of the Underlying Funds will meet its investment objectives. Contact your registered representative or call 1-800-842-9406 to request additional copies of the prospectuses. ADMINISTRATIVE, MARKETING AND SUPPORT SERVICE FEES. As described above, an investment adviser (other than our affiliates MetLife Advisers, LLC and Met Investors Advisory LLC) or sub-adviser of an Underlying Fund, or its affiliates, may compensate us and/or certain of our affiliates for administrative or other services 16
485BPOS214th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 214th
relating to the Underlying Funds. The amount of this compensation is not deducted from Fund assets and does not decrease the Fund's investment return. The amount of the compensation is based on a percentage of assets of the Underlying Fund attributable to the Contracts and certain other variable insurance products that we and our affiliates issue. These percentages differ and some advisers or sub-advisers (or other affiliates) may pay us more than others. These percentages currently range up to 0.50%. Additionally, an investment adviser or sub-adviser of an Underlying Fund or its affiliates may provide us with wholesaling services that assist in the distribution of the Contracts and may pay the Company and/or certain of our affiliates amounts to participate in sales meetings. These amounts may be significant and may provide the adviser or sub-adviser (or their affiliate) with increased access to persons involved in the distribution of the Contracts. We and/or certain of our affiliated insurance companies are joint members of our affiliated investment advisers MetLife Advisers, LLC and Met Investors Advisory LLC, which are organized as "limited liability companies." Our membership interests entitle us to profit distributions if the adviser makes a profit with respect to the advisory fees it receives from the Underlying Funds. We may benefit accordingly from assets allocated to the Underlying Funds to the extent they result in profits to the advisers. (See "Fee Table -- Underlying Fund Fees and Expenses" for information on the management fees paid by the Underlying Funds and the Statement of Additional Information for information on the management fees paid by the advisers to the sub-advisers.) Certain Underlying Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Distribution Plan is described in more detail in the Underlying Fund's prospectus. (See "Fee Table -- Underlying Fund Fees and Expenses" and "Other Information -- Distribution of Variable Annuity Contracts.") The payments are deducted from the assets of the Underlying Funds and are paid to our distributor, MLI Distribution LLC. These payments decrease the Funds' investment return. The agreement described above between MetLife and Legg Mason also obligates Legg Mason affiliates to continue on their current terms certain arrangements under which we receive payments in connection with our provision of administrative, marketing or other support services to the Underlying Funds advised or sub-advised by Legg Mason affiliates. Each Underlying Fund has different investment objectives and risks. The Underlying Fund prospectuses contain more detailed information on each Underlying Fund's investment strategy, investment adviser and fees. You may obtain an Underlying Fund prospectus by calling 1-800-842-9406 or through your registered representative. We do not guarantee the investment results of the Underlying Funds.

Money Market Portfolio BlackRock Money Market Portfolio FIXED ACCOUNT We offer our Fixed Account as a funding option. Please see Appendix C for more information. CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS GENERAL We deduct the charges described below. The charges are for the service and benefits we provide, costs and expenses we incur, and risks we assume under the Contracts. Services and benefits we provide include: - the ability for you to make withdrawals and surrenders under the Contracts - the death benefit paid on the death of the Contract Owner, Annuitant, or first of the joint owners - the available funding options and related programs (including dollar cost averaging, portfolio rebalancing, and systematic withdrawal programs) - administration of the annuity options available under the Contracts and - the distribution of various reports to Contract Owners Costs and expenses we incur include: - losses associated with various overhead and other expenses associated with providing the services and benefits provided by the Contracts - sales and marketing expenses including commission payments to your sales agent and - other costs of doing business 19
485BPOS217th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 217th
Risks we assume include: - that Annuitants may live longer than estimated when the annuity factors under the Contracts were established - that the amount of the death benefit will be greater than the Contract Value and - that the costs of providing the services and benefits under the Contracts will exceed the charges deducted We may also deduct a charge for taxes. Unless otherwise specified, charges are deducted proportionately from all funding options in which you are invested. The amount of a charge may not necessarily correspond to the costs associated with providing the services or benefits indicated by the designated charge. For example, the withdrawal charge we collect may not fully cover all of the sales and distribution expenses we actually incur. The amount of any fee or charge is not impacted by an outstanding loan. We may also profit on one or more of the charges. We may use any such profits for any corporate purpose, including the payment of sales expenses. WITHDRAWAL CHARGE We do not deduct a sales charge from Purchase Payments when they are made to the Contract. However, a withdrawal charge will apply if Purchase Payments are withdrawn before they have been in the Contract for seven years. We will assess the charge as a percentage of the Purchase Payment withdrawn as follows: [Download Table] YEARS SINCE PURCHASE PAYMENT MADE --------------------------------- GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO BUT LESS THAN WITHDRAWAL CHARGE ------------------------ ------------- ----------------- 0 years 2 years 6% 2 years 4 years 5% 4 years 5 years 4% 5 years 6 years 3% 6 years 7 years 2% 7+ years 0% For purposes of the withdrawal charge calculation, withdrawals are deemed to be taken first from: (a) any Purchase Payment to which no withdrawal charge applies then (b) any remaining free withdrawal allowance (as described below) (after being reduced by (a)), then (c) any remaining Purchase Payment to which a withdrawal charge applies (on a first-in, first-out basis), then (d) any Contract earnings Unless you instruct us otherwise, we will deduct the withdrawal charge from the amount requested. We will not deduct a withdrawal charge if Purchase Payments are distributed: - due to the death of the Contract Owner or the Annuitant (with no Contingent Annuitant surviving) - if an annuity payout has begun - if an income option of at least five year's duration is begun after the first Contract Year - due to a minimum distribution under our minimum distribution rules then in effect FREE WITHDRAWAL ALLOWANCE Beginning in the second Contract Year, you may withdraw up to 10% of the Contract Value annually . We calculate the available withdrawal amount as of the end of the previous Contract Year. The free withdrawal provision applies to partial withdrawals only. 20
485BPOS218th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 218th
Any withdrawal is subject to federal income taxes on the taxable portion. In addition, a 10% federal penalty may be assessed on any withdrawal if the Contract Owner is under age 59-1/2. You should consult with your tax adviser regarding the tax consequences of a withdrawal. ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES There are two administrative charges: the $30 annual Contract administrative charge and the administrative expense charge. We will deduct the annual Contract administrative charge on the fourth Friday of each August. This charge compensates us for expenses incurred in establishing and maintaining the Contract and we will prorate this charge (i.e. calculate) from the date of purchase. We will also prorate this charge if you surrender your Contract, or if we terminate your Contract. We will not deduct a Contract administrative charge from the Fixed Account or: (1) from the distribution of death proceeds (2) after an annuity payout has begun or (3) if the Contract Value on the date of assessment equals or is greater than $40,000 We deduct the administrative expense charge (sometimes called "Subaccount administrative charge") on each business day from amounts allocated to the Variable Funding Options to compensate the Company for certain related administrative and operating expenses. The charge equals, on an annual basis, 0.15% of the daily net asset value allocated to each of the Variable Funding Options, and is reflected in our accumulation and Annuity Unit value calculations. MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE Each business day, we deduct a mortality and expense risk ("M&E") charge from amounts we hold in the Variable Funding Options. We reflect the deduction in our calculation of accumulation and Annuity Unit values. The charges stated are the maximum for this product, and is equal to 1.25% annually. We reserve the right to lower this charge at any time. This charge compensates the Company for risks assumed, benefits provided and expenses incurred, including the payment of commissions to your sales agent. VARIABLE LIQUIDITY BENEFIT CHARGE If the Variable Liquidity Benefit is selected, there is a maximum charge of 6% of the amounts withdrawn. This charge is not assessed during the accumulation phase. We will assess the charge as a percentage of the total benefit received as follows: [Download Table] YEARS SINCE INITIAL PURCHASE PAYMENT GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO BUT LESS THAN WITHDRAWAL CHARGE ------------------------ ------------- ----------------- 0 years 2 years 6% 2 years 4 years 5% 4 years 5 years 4% 5 years 6 years 3% 6 years 7 years 2% 7+ years 0% Please refer to Payment Options for a description of this benefit. VARIABLE FUNDING OPTION EXPENSES We summarized the charges and expenses of the Underlying Funds in the fee table. Please review the prospectus for each Underlying Fund for a more complete description of that fund and its expenses. Underlying Fund expenses are not fixed or guaranteed and are subject to change by the Fund. PREMIUM TAX Certain state and local governments charge premium taxes ranging from 0% to 3.5%, depending upon jurisdiction. We are responsible for paying these taxes and will determine the method used to recover premium tax expenses incurred. We will deduct any applicable premium taxes from your Contract Value 21
485BPOS219th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 219th
either upon death, surrender, annuitization, or at the time you make Purchase Payments to the Contract, but no earlier than when we have a tax liability under state law. CHANGES IN TAXES BASED UPON PREMIUM OR VALUE If there is any change in a law assessing taxes against the Company based upon premiums, Contract gains or value of the Contract, we reserve the right to charge you proportionately for this tax. TRANSFERS Subject to the limitations described below, you may transfer all or part of your Contract Value between Variable Funding Options at any time up to 30 days before the Maturity Date. After the Maturity Date, you may make transfers only if allowed by your Contract or with our consent. Transfer requests received at our Home Office that are in good order before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) will be processed according to the value(s) next computed following the close of business. Transfer requests received on a non-business day or after the close of the NYSE will be processed based on the value(s) next computed on the next business day. Where permitted by state law, we reserve the right to restrict transfers from the Variable Funding Options to the Fixed Account whenever the credited interest rate on the Fixed Account is equal to the minimum guaranteed interest rate specified under the Contract. Since each Underlying Fund may have different overall expenses, a transfer of Contract Values from one Variable Funding Option to another could result in your investment becoming subject to higher or lower expenses. Also, when making transfers, you should consider the inherent risks associated with the Variable Funding Options to which your Contract Value is allocated. MARKET TIMING/EXCESSIVE TRADING Frequent requests from Contract Owners to transfer Contract Value may dilute the value of an Underlying Fund'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 Underlying Fund and the reflection of that change in the Underlying Fund's share price ("arbitrage trading"). Regardless of the existence of pricing inefficiencies, frequent transfers may also increase brokerage and administrative costs of the Underlying Funds and may disrupt management strategy, requiring an Underlying Fund to maintain a high cash position and possibly resulting in lost investment opportunities and forced liquidations ("disruptive trading"). Accordingly, arbitrage trading and disruptive trading activities (referred to collectively as "market timing") may adversely affect the long-term performance of the Underlying Funds, 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 Underlying Funds, i.e., the Janus Aspen Series Worldwide Growth Portfolio, Legg Mason Partners Variable High Yield Bond Portfolio, Legg Mason Partners Variable Small Cap Growth Portfolio, Legg Mason Partners Variable Strategic Bond Portfolio, Universal Institutional Funds Emerging Markets Equity Portfolio and Universal Institutional Funds Global Value Equity Portfolio (the "Monitored Portfolios"), and we monitor transfer activity in those 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 of the Monitored Portfolios, in a three-month period there were two or more "round-trips" of a certain dollar amount or greater. A round-trip is defined as a transfer in followed by a transfer out within the next 10 calendar days, or a transfer out followed by a transfer in within the next 10 calendar days. In the case of a Contract that has been restricted previously, a single round-trip of a certain dollar amount or greater will trigger the transfer restrictions described below. We do not believe that other Underlying Funds present a significant opportunity to engage in arbitrage trading and therefore do not monitor transfer activity in those Underlying Funds. We may change the Monitored Portfolios at any time without notice in our sole discretion. In addition to monitoring transfer activity in certain Underlying Funds, we rely on the Underlying Funds to bring any potential disruptive trading activity they identify to our attention for investigation on a case-by-case basis. We will also investigate other harmful transfer activity that we 22
485BPOS220th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 220th
identify from time to time. We may revise these policies and procedures in our sole discretion at any time without prior notice. Our policies and procedures may result in transfer restrictions being applied to deter market timing. Currently, when we detect transfer activity in the Monitored Portfolios that exceeds our current transfer limits, or other transfer activity that we believe may be harmful to other Owners or other persons who have an interest in the Contracts, we will exercise our contractual right to restrict your number of transfers to one every six months. In addition, we also reserve the right, but do not have the obligation, to further restrict the right to request transfers by any market timing firm or any other third party who has been authorized to initiate transfers on behalf of multiple Contract Owners. We may, among other things: - reject the transfer instructions of any agent acting under a power of attorney on behalf of more than one Owner, or - reject the transfer or exchange instructions of individual Owners who have executed pre-authorized transfer forms which are submitted by market timing firms or other third parties on behalf of more than one Owner. 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 evaluate trading patterns for market timing. The detection and deterrence of harmful transfer activity involves judgments that are inherently subjective, such as the decision to monitor only those Underlying Funds 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 market timing in any Underlying Fund and there are no arrangements in place to permit any Contract Owner to engage in market timing; we apply our policies and procedures without exception, waiver, or special arrangement. The Underlying Funds may have adopted their own policies and procedures with respect to frequent purchases and redemptions of their respective shares, and we reserve the right to enforce these policies and procedures. For example, Underlying Funds may assess a redemption fee (which we reserve the right to collect) on shares held for a relatively short period. The prospectuses for the Underlying Funds describe any such policies and procedures, which may be more or less restrictive than the policies and procedures we have adopted. Contract Owners and other persons with interests in the Contracts should be aware that we currently may not have the contractual obligation or the operational capacity to apply the frequent trading policies and procedures of the Underlying Funds. However, under rules recently adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, effective October 16, 2006 we will be required to (1) enter into a written agreement with each Underlying Fund or its principal underwriter that will obligate us to provide to the Underlying Fund promptly upon request, certain information about trading activity of individual Contract Owners, and (2) execute instructions from the Underlying Funds to restrict or prohibit further Purchase Payments or transfers by specific Contract Owners who violate the frequent trading policies established by the Underlying Fund. In addition, Contract Owners and other persons with interests in the Contracts should be aware that some Underlying Funds may receive "omnibus" purchase and redemption orders from other insurance companies or intermediaries such as retirement plans. 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 Underlying Funds in their ability to apply their frequent trading policies and procedures. In addition, the other insurance companies and/or retirement plans may have different policies and procedures or may not have any such policies and procedures because of contractual limitations. For these reasons, we cannot guarantee that the Underlying Funds (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 Underlying Funds. 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 Underlying Funds, including any refusal or restriction on purchases or redemptions of their shares as a result of their own policies and procedures on market timing activities (even if an entire omnibus 23
485BPOS221st Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 221st
order is rejected due to the market timing activity of a single Contract Owner). You should read the Underlying Fund prospectuses for more details. DOLLAR COST AVERAGING Dollar cost averaging or the pre-authorized transfer program (the "DCA Program") allows you to transfer a set dollar amount to other funding options on a monthly or quarterly basis during the accumulation phase of the Contract. Using this method, you will purchase more Accumulation Units in a funding option if the value per unit is low and will purchase fewer Accumulation Units if the value per unit is high. Therefore, you may achieve a lower-than-average cost per unit in the long run if you have the financial ability to continue the program over a long enough period of time. Dollar cost averaging does not assure a profit or protect against a loss. You may elect the DCA Program through Written Request or other method acceptable to us. You must have a minimum total Contract Value of $5,000 to enroll in the DCA Program. The minimum amount that may be transferred through this program is $400. There is no additional fee to participate in the DCA program. You may establish pre-authorized transfers of Contract Values from the Fixed Account, subject to certain restrictions. Under the DCA Program, automated transfers from the Fixed Account may not deplete your Fixed Account Value in less than twelve months from your enrollment in the DCA Program. In addition to the DCA Program, within the Fixed Account, we may credit increased interest rates to Contract Owners under an administrative Special DCA Program established at our discretion, depending on availability and state law. Under this program, the Contract Owner may pre-authorize level transfers to any of the funding options under either a 6 Month, 12 Month or 24 Month Program. The Programs will generally have different credited interest rates. Under each Program, the interest rate can accrue up to the applicable number of months on the remaining amounts in the Special DCA Program and we must transfer all Purchase Payments and accrued interest on a level basis to the selected funding options in the applicable time period. For example, under the 12 Month Program, the interest rate can accrue up to 12 months on the remaining amounts in the Special DCA Program and we must transfer all Purchase Payments and accrued interest in this Program on a level basis to the selected funding options in 12 months. The pre-authorized transfers will begin after the initial Program Purchase Payment and complete enrollment instructions are received by the Company. If we do not receive complete Program enrollment instructions within 15 days of receipt of the initial Program Purchase Payment, the entire balance in the Program will be credited with the non-Program interest rate then in effect for the Fixed Account. You may start or stop participation in the DCA Program at any time, but you must give the Company at least 30 days' notice to change any automated transfer instructions that are currently in place. If you stop the Special DCA Program and elect to remain in the Fixed Account, we will credit your Contract Value for the remainder of 6 or 12 months with the interest rate for non-Program funds. You may only have one DCA Program or Special DCA Program in place at one time. We will allocate any subsequent Purchase Payments we receive within the Program period selected to the current funding options over the remainder of that Program transfer period, unless you direct otherwise. All provisions and terms of the Contract apply to the DCA and Special DCA Programs, including provisions relating to the transfer of money between funding options. Transfers made under any DCA Program will not be counted for purposes of restrictions we may impose on the number of transfers permitted under the Contract. We reserve the right to suspend or modify transfer privileges at any time and to assess a processing fee for this service. ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY Any time before the Maturity Date, you may redeem all or any portion of the Cash Surrender Value, that is, the Contract Value less any withdrawal charge, outstanding loans, and any premium tax not previously deducted. Unless you submit a Written Request specifying the fixed or Variable Funding Option(s) from which we are to withdraw amounts, we will make the withdrawal on a pro rata basis. We will determine the Cash Surrender Value as of the close of business after we receive your surrender request at our Home Office. The Cash Surrender Value may be more or less than the Purchase Payments you made. You may not make withdrawals during the annuity period. 24
485BPOS222nd Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 222nd
For amounts allocated to the Variable Funding Options, we may defer payment of any Cash Surrender Value for a period of up to five business days after the Written Request is received. For amounts allocated to the Fixed Account, we may defer payment of any Cash Surrender Value for a period up to six months. In either case, it is our intent to pay as soon as possible. We cannot process requests for withdrawals that are not in good order. We will contact you if there is a deficiency causing a delay and will advise what is needed to act upon the withdrawal request. If your Contract is issued as part of a 403(b) plan, there are restrictions on your ability to make withdrawals from your Contract. You may not withdraw contributions or earnings made to your Contract after December 31, 1988 unless you are (a) age 59 1/2, (b) no longer employed, (c) deceased, (d) disabled, or (e) experiencing a financial hardship. Even if you are experiencing a financial hardship, you may only withdraw contributions, not earnings. You should consult with your tax adviser before making a withdrawal from your Contract. SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWALS Before the Maturity Date, you may choose to withdraw a specified dollar amount (at least $100) on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis. We will deduct any applicable premium taxes and withdrawal charge. To elect systematic withdrawals, you must have a Contract Value of at least $15,000 and you must make the election on the form we provide. We will surrender Accumulation Units pro rata from all funding options in which you have an interest, unless you instruct us otherwise. You may begin or discontinue systematic withdrawals at any time by notifying us in writing, but you must give at least 30 days' notice to change any systematic withdrawal instructions that are currently in place. We reserve the right to discontinue offering systematic withdrawals or to assess a processing fee for this service upon 30 days' written notice to Contract Owners (where allowed by state law). Each systematic withdrawal is subject to federal income taxes on the taxable portion. In addition, a 10% federal penalty tax may be assessed on systematic withdrawals if the Contract Owner is under age 59 1/2. There is no additional fee for electing systematic withdrawals. You should consult with your tax adviser regarding the tax consequences of systematic withdrawals. LOANS Loans may be available under your Contract. Loans may only be taken against funds allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account. If available, all loan provisions are described in your Contract or loan agreement. OWNERSHIP PROVISIONS TYPES OF OWNERSHIP CONTRACT OWNER The Contract belongs to the Contract Owner named in the Contract (on the Contract Specifications page), or to any other person to whom you subsequently assign the Contract. You may only make an assignment of ownership or a collateral assignment for Non-qualified Contracts. You have sole power during the Annuitant's lifetime to exercise any rights and to receive all benefits given in the Contract provided you have not named an irrevocable beneficiary and provided you have not assigned the Contract. You receive all payments while the Annuitant is alive unless you direct them to an alternate recipient. An alternate recipient does not become the Contract Owner. If this Contract is purchased by a beneficiary of another contract who directly transferred the death proceeds due under that contract, he/she will be granted the same rights the owner has under the Contract except that he/she cannot transfer ownership, take a loan or make additional Purchase Payments. Joint Owner. For Non-qualified Contracts only, you may name joint owners (e.g., spouses) in a Written Request before the Contract is in effect. Joint owners may independently exercise transfers allowed under the Contract. All other rights of ownership must be exercised by both owners. Joint owners own equal shares of any benefits accruing or payments made to them. 25

BENEFICIARY You name the beneficiary in a Written Request. The beneficiary has the right to receive any death benefit proceeds remaining under the Contract upon the death of the Annuitant or the Contract Owner. If more than one beneficiary survives the Annuitant or Contract Owner, they will share equally in benefits unless you recorded different shares with the Company by Written Request before the death of the Annuitant or Contract Owner. In the case of a non-spousal beneficiary or a spousal beneficiary who has not chosen to assume the Contract, we will not transfer or otherwise remove the death benefit proceeds from either the Variable Funding Options or the Fixed Account, as most recently elected by the Contract Owner, until the Death Report Date. Unless you have named an irrevocable beneficiary you have the right to change any beneficiary by Written Request during the lifetime of the Annuitant and while the Contract continues. ANNUITANT The Annuitant is designated in the Contract (on the Contract Specifications page), and is the individual on whose life the Maturity Date and the amount of the monthly Annuity Payments depend. You may not change the Annuitant after your Contract is in effect. Contingent Annuitant. You may name one individual as a Contingent Annuitant. A Contingent Annuitant may not be changed, deleted or added to the Contract after the Contract Date. If the Annuitant who is not the owner dies prior to the Maturity Date, and the Contingent Annuitant is still living: - the death benefit will not be payable upon the Annuitant's death - the Contingent Annuitant becomes the Annuitant and - all other rights and benefits will continue in effect When a Contingent Annuitant becomes the Annuitant, the Maturity Date remains the same as previously in effect. If the Annuitant is also the owner, a death benefit is paid to the beneficiary regardless of whether or not there is a Contingent Annuitant. DEATH BENEFIT Before the Maturity Date, generally, a death benefit is payable when either the Annuitant or a Contract Owner dies. We calculate the death benefit at the close of the business day on which our Home Office receives (1) Due Proof of Death and (2) written payment instructions or election of spousal contract continuance or beneficiary contract continuance ("Death Report Date"). Note: If the owner dies before the Annuitant, the death benefit is recalculated, replacing all references to "Annuitant" with "owner." DEATH PROCEEDS BEFORE THE MATURITY DATE IF THE ANNUITANT OR AN OWNER IS YOUNGER THAN AGE 80 ON THE CONTRACT DATE: We will pay to the beneficiary a death benefit in an amount equal to the greatest of (1), (2) or (3) below, each reduced by any applicable premium tax or outstanding loans: (1) the Contract Value on the Death Report Date (2) the total Purchase Payments made under the Contract less the total of any withdrawals or (3) the step-up value (if any, as described below) IF THE ANNUITANT OR AN OWNER IS AGE 80 OR OLDER ON THE CONTRACT DATE: We will pay to the beneficiary a death benefit in an amount equal to the greater of (1) or (2) below, each reduced by any applicable premium tax or outstanding loans not previously deducted: (1) the Contract Value on the Death Report Date or (2) the total Purchase Payments made under the Contract less the total of any withdrawals 26

STEP-UP VALUE. We will establish a step-up value on each Contract Date anniversary that occurs on or prior to the Death Report Date. The step-up value will initially equal the Contract Value on that anniversary. When you make an additional Purchase Payment, we will increase the step-up value by the amount of that Purchase Payment. When you make a withdrawal, we will reduce the step-up value by a partial surrender reduction as described below. On each Contract anniversary before the Annuitant's 80th birthday and before the Annuitant's death, if the Contract Value is greater than the step-up value, we will reset the step-up value to equal that greater amount. We will not reduce the step-up value on these anniversary recalculations (provided no withdrawals or surrenders are made on that day). The only changes we will make to the step-up value on or after the Annuitant's 80th birthday will be those related to additional Purchase Payments or withdrawals. PARTIAL SURRENDER REDUCTIONS. If you make a withdrawal, we will reduce the step-up value by a partial surrender reduction which equals (1) the step-up value prior to the withdrawal, multiplied by (2) the amount of the withdrawal, divided by (3) the Contract Value before the withdrawal. For example, assume your current Contract Value is $55,000. If your current step-up value is $50,000, and you decide to make a withdrawal of $10,000, we would reduce the step-up value as follows: $50,000 x ($10,000/$55,000) = $9,090 Your new step-up value would be $50,000 - $9,090, or $40,910. The following example shows what would happen in a declining market. Assume your current Contract Value is $30,000. If your current step-up value is $50,000, and you decide to make a withdrawal of $10,000, we would reduce the step-up value as follows: $50,000 x ($10,000/$30,000) = $16,666 Your new step-up value would be $50,000 - $16,666, or $33,334. 27

PAYMENT OF PROCEEDS We describe the process of paying death benefit proceeds before the Maturity Date in the charts below. The charts do not encompass every situation and are merely intended as a general guide. More detailed information is provided in your Contract. Generally, the person(s) receiving the benefit may request that the proceeds be paid in a lump sum, or be applied to one of the settlement options available under the Contract.

APPLY* OWNER/ANNUITANT The beneficiary (ies), or Unless the beneficiary elects to Yes if none, to the continue the Contract rather than Contract Owner's receive a distribution. estate. BENEFICIARY No death proceeds are N/A payable; Contract continues. CONTINGENT BENEFICIARY No death proceeds are N/A payable; Contract continues. -------------- * Certain payout rules of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) are triggered upon the death of any Owner. Non-spousal beneficiaries (as well as spousal beneficiaries who choose not to assume the Contract) must begin taking distributions based on the beneficiary's life expectancy within one year of death or take a complete distribution of Contract proceeds within 5 years of death. For Qualified Contracts, if mandatory distributions have begun at the death of the Annuitant, the 5 year payout option is not available. BENEFICIARY CONTRACT CONTINUANCE (NOT PERMITTED FOR NON-NATURAL BENEFICIARIES) If you die before the Maturity Date, and if the value of any beneficiary's portion of the death benefit is between $20,000 and $1,000,000 as of the Death Report Date, (more than $1,000,000 is subject to Home Office approval), your beneficiary(s) may elect to continue his/her portion of the Contract subject to applicable Internal Revenue Code distribution requirements, rather than receive the death benefit in a lump sum. If the beneficiary chooses to continue the Contract, the beneficiary can extend the payout phase of the Contract enabling the beneficiary to "stretch" the death benefit distributions out over his life expectancy as permitted by the Internal Revenue Code. If your beneficiary elects to continue the Contract, the death benefit will be calculated as of the Death Report Date. The initial Contract Value of the continued Contract (the "adjusted Contract Value") will equal the greater of the Contract Value or the death benefit calculated on the Death Report Date and will be allocated to the funding options in the same proportion as prior to the Death Report Date. If the adjusted Contract Value is allocated to the Variable Funding Options, the beneficiary bears the investment risk. The beneficiary who continues the Contract will be granted the same rights as the owner under the original Contract, except the beneficiary cannot: - transfer ownership - take a loan - make additional Purchase Payments The beneficiary may also name his/her own beneficiary ("succeeding beneficiary") and has the right to take withdrawals at any time after the Death Report Date without a withdrawal charge. All other fees and charges applicable to the original Contract will also apply to the continued Contract. All benefits and features of the continued Contract will be based on the beneficiary's age on the Death Report Date as if the beneficiary had purchased the Contract with the adjusted Contract Value on the Death Report Date. PLANNED DEATH BENEFIT You may request that rather than receive a lump-sum death benefit, the beneficiary(ies) receive all or a portion of the death benefit proceeds either: - through an annuity for life or a period that does not exceed the beneficiary's life expectancy or - under the terms of the Beneficiary Continuance provision described above. If the Beneficiary Continuance provision is selected as the planned death benefit, no surrenders will be allowed other than payments meant to satisfy minimum distribution amounts or systematic withdrawal amounts, if greater. 29
485BPOS227th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 227th
You must make the planned death benefit request as well as any revocation of this request in writing. Upon your death, your beneficiary(s) cannot revoke or modify this request. If the death benefit at the time we receive Due Proof of Death is less than $2,000, we will only pay a lump sum to the beneficiary. If periodic payments due under the planned death benefit election are less than $100, we reserve the right to make Annuity Payments at less frequent intervals, resulting in a payment of at least $100 per year. If no beneficiary is alive when death benefits become payable, we will pay the death benefit as provided in your Contract. DEATH PROCEEDS AFTER THE MATURITY DATE If any Contract Owner or the Annuitant dies on or after the Maturity Date, the Company will pay the beneficiary a death benefit consisting of any benefit remaining under the annuity or income option then in effect. THE ANNUITY PERIOD MATURITY DATE Under the Contract, you can receive regular payments ("Annuity Payments"). You can choose the month and the year in which those payments begin ("Maturity Date"). You can also choose among income payouts (annuity or income options) or elect a lump sum distribution. While the Annuitant is alive, you can change your selection any time up to the Maturity Date. Annuity or income payments will begin on the Maturity Date stated in the Contract unless (1) you fully surrendered the Contract; (2) we paid the proceeds to the beneficiary before that date; or (3) you elected another date. Annuity payments are a series of periodic payments (a) for life; (b) for life with a minimum number of payments; or (c) for the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and another person, and thereafter during the lifetime of the survivor. Income payments are for a fixed period or amount. We may require proof that the Annuitant is alive before we make Annuity Payments. Not all options may be available in all states. You may choose to annuitize at any time after the first Contract Date anniversary. Unless you elect otherwise, the Maturity Date will be the Annuitant's 70th birthday for Qualified Contracts and the Annuitant's 75th birthday for Non-qualified Contracts or ten years after the effective date of the Contract, if later (this requirement may be changed by us). At least 30 days before the original Maturity Date, you may elect to extend the Maturity Date to any time prior to the Annuitant's 85th birthday for Non-qualified Contracts or, for Qualified Contracts, to a later date with our consent. You may use certain annuity options taken at the Maturity Date to meet the minimum required distribution requirements of federal tax law, or you may use a program of withdrawals instead. These mandatory distribution requirements take effect generally upon the death of the Contract Owner, or with certain Qualified Contracts upon either the later of the Contract Owner's attainment of age 70-1/2 or year of retirement; or the death of the Contract Owner. You should seek independent tax advice regarding the election of minimum required distributions. ALLOCATION OF ANNUITY You may elect to receive your Annuity Payments in the form of a variable annuity, a fixed annuity, or a combination of both. If, at the time Annuity Payments begin, you have not made an election, we will apply your Cash Surrender Value to provide an annuity funded by the same funding options as you have selected during the accumulation period. At least 30 days before the Maturity Date, you may transfer the Contract Value among the funding options in order to change the basis on which we will determine Annuity Payments. (See Transfers.) VARIABLE ANNUITY You may choose an annuity payout that fluctuates depending on the investment experience of the Variable Funding Options. We determine the number of Annuity Units credited to the Contract by dividing the first monthly annuity payment attributable to each Variable Funding Option by the corresponding Accumulation Unit value as of 14 days before the date Annuity Payments begin. We use an Annuity Unit to measure the 30
485BPOS228th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 228th
dollar value of an annuity payment. The number of Annuity Units (but not their value) remains fixed during the annuity period. DETERMINATION OF FIRST ANNUITY PAYMENT. Your Contract contains the tables we use to determine your first monthly annuity payment. If you elect a variable annuity, the amount we apply to it will be the Cash Surrender Value as of 14 days before the date Annuity Payments begin, less any applicable premium taxes not previously deducted. The amount of your first monthly payment depends on the annuity option you elected and the Annuitant's adjusted age. Your Contract contains the formula for determining the adjusted age. We determine the total first monthly annuity payment by multiplying the benefit per $1,000 of value shown in the Contract tables by the number of thousands of dollars of Contract Value you apply to that annuity option. The Contract tables factor in an assumed daily net investment factor of 3.0%. We call this your net investment rate. Your net investment rate of 3% corresponds to an annual interest rate of 3%. This means that if the annualized investment performance, after expenses, of your Variable Funding Options is less than 3%, then the dollar amount of your variable Annuity Payments will decrease. However, if the annualized investment performance, after expenses, of your Variable Funding Options is greater than 3%, then the dollar amount of your variable Annuity Payments will increase. DETERMINATION OF SECOND AND SUBSEQUENT ANNUITY PAYMENTS. The dollar amount of all subsequent Annuity Payments changes from month to month based on the investment experience, as described above, of the applicable funding options. The total amount of each annuity payment will equal the sum of the basic payments in each funding option. We determine the actual amounts of these payments by multiplying the number of Annuity Units we credited to each funding option by the corresponding Annuity Unit value as of the date 14 days before the date the payment is due. FIXED ANNUITY You may choose a fixed annuity that provides payments that do not vary during the annuity period. We will calculate the dollar amount of the first fixed annuity payment as described under Variable Annuity, except that the amount we apply to begin the annuity will be your Cash Surrender Value as of the date Annuity Payments begin. Payout rates will not be lower than that shown in the Contract. If it would produce a larger payment, the first fixed Annuity Payment will be determined using the Life Annuity Tables in effect on the Maturity Date. PAYMENT OPTIONS ELECTION OF OPTIONS While the Annuitant is alive, you can change your annuity or income option selection any time up to the Maturity Date. Once annuity or income payments have begun, no further elections are allowed. During the Annuitant's lifetime, if you do not elect otherwise before the Maturity Date, we will pay you (or another designated payee) the first of a series of monthly annuity or income payments based on the life of the Annuitant, in accordance with Annuity Option 2 (Life Annuity with 120 monthly payments assured). For certain Qualified Contracts, Annuity Option 4 (Joint and Last Survivor Life Annuity -- Annuity Reduced on Death of Primary Payee) will be the automatic option as described in the Contract. The minimum amount that can be placed under an annuity or income option will be $2,000 unless we agree to a lesser amount. If any monthly periodic payment due is less than $100, the Company reserves the right to make payments at less frequent intervals, or to pay the Contract Value in a lump-sum. On the Maturity Date, we will pay the amount due under the Contract in accordance with the Payment Option that you select. You may choose to receive a single lump-sum payment. You must elect an option in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company. Any election made during the lifetime of the Annuitant must be made by the Contract Owner. 31
485BPOS229th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 229th
ANNUITY OPTIONS Subject to the conditions described in "Election of Options" above, we may pay all or any part of the Cash Surrender Value under one or more of the following annuity options. Payments under the annuity options are generally made on a monthly basis. We may offer additional options. Option 1 -- Life Annuity -- No Refund. The Company will make Annuity Payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant ending with the last payment before death. This option offers the maximum periodic payment, since there is no assurance of a minimum number of payments or provision for a death benefit for beneficiaries. Option 2 -- Life Annuity with 120, 180 or 240 Monthly Payments Assured. The Company will make monthly Annuity Payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant, with the agreement that if, at the death of that person, payments have been made for less than 120, 180 or 240 months, as elected, we will continue making payments to the beneficiary during the remainder of the period. Option 3 -- Joint and Last Survivor Life Annuity -- No Refund. The Company will make regular Annuity Payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant and a second person. When either person dies, we will continue making payments to the survivor. No further payments will be made following the death of the survivor. Option 4 -- Joint and Last Survivor Life Annuity -- Annuity Reduced on Death of Primary Payee. The Company will make Annuity Payments during the lifetimes of the Annuitant and a second person. You will designate one as primary payee, and the other will be designated as secondary payee. On the death of the secondary payee, the Company will continue to make monthly Annuity Payments to the primary payee in the same amount that would have been payable during the joint lifetime of the two persons. On the death of the primary payee, the Company will continue to make Annuity Payments to the secondary payee in an amount equal to 50% of the payments, which would have been made during the lifetime of the primary payee. No further payments will be made once both payees have died. Option 5 -- Other Annuity Options. The Company will make any other arrangements for Annuity Payments as may be mutually agreed upon. INCOME OPTIONS Instead of one of the annuity options described above, and subject to the conditions described under "Election of Options," all or part of the Contract's Cash Surrender Value (or, if required by state law, Contract Value) may be paid under one or more of the following income options, provided that they are consistent with federal tax law qualification requirements. Payments under the income options may be elected on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis: Option 1 -- Payments of a Fixed Amount. We will make equal payments of the amount elected until the Cash Surrender Value applied under this option has been exhausted. We will pay the first payment and all later payments from each funding option or the Fixed Account in proportion to the Cash Surrender Value attributable to each funding option and/or Fixed Account. The final payment will include any amount insufficient to make another full payment. Option 2 -- Payments for a Fixed Period. We will make payments for the period selected. Option 3 -- Other Income Options. We will make any other arrangements for income options as may be mutually agreed upon. VARIABLE LIQUIDITY BENEFIT This benefit is only offered with the income option "Payments for a Fixed Period." At any time after annuitization and before death, the Contract Owner may surrender and receive a payment equal to (A) minus (B), where (A) equals the present value of remaining certain payments, and (B) equals a withdrawal charge not to exceed the maximum withdrawal charge rate shown on the specifications page of the Contract multiplied by (A). The interest rate used to calculate the present value is a rate 1% higher than the Assumed (Daily) Net Investment Factor used to calculate the Annuity Payments. The remaining period certain payments are assumed to be level payments equal to the most recent period certain payment prior to the 32
485BPOS230th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 230th
request for this liquidity benefit. A withdrawal charge is not imposed if the surrender is made after the expiration of the withdrawal charge period shown on the specifications page of the Contract. MISCELLANEOUS CONTRACT PROVISIONS RIGHT TO RETURN You may return the Contract for a full refund of the Contract Value plus any Contract charges and premium taxes you paid (but not any fees and charges the Underlying Fund assessed) within twenty days after you receive it (the "right to return period"). You bear the investment risk of investing in the Variable Funding Options during the right to return period; therefore, the Contract Value we return may be greater or less than your Purchase Payment. If you purchase the Contract as an Individual Retirement Annuity, and return it within the first seven days after delivery, or longer if your state law permits, we will refund your Purchase Payment in full; during the remainder of the right to return period, we will refund the Contract Value (including charges). We will determine the Contract Value following the close of the business day on which we receive your Contract and a Written Request for a refund. Where state law requires a different period, or the return of Purchase Payments or other variations of this provision, we will comply. Refer to your Contract for any state-specific information. TERMINATION We reserve the right to terminate the Contract on any business day if your Contract Value as of that date is less than $1,000 and you have not made Purchase Payments for at least two years, unless otherwise specified by state law. Termination will not occur until 31 days after we have mailed notice of termination to your last known address and to any assignee of record. If we terminate the Contract, we will pay you the Cash Surrender Value less any applicable taxes. In some states we may be required to pay you the Contract Value. REQUIRED REPORTS As often as required by law, but at least once in each Contract Year before the due date of the first annuity payment, we will furnish a report showing the number of Accumulation Units credited to the Contract and the corresponding Accumulation Unit value(s) as of the report date for each funding option to which the Contract Owner has allocated amounts during the applicable period. The Company will keep all records required under federal and state laws. SUSPENSION OF PAYMENTS The Company reserves the right to suspend or postpone the date of any payment or determination of values on any business day (1) when the New York Stock Exchange ("the Exchange") is closed; (2) when trading on the Exchange is restricted; (3) when an emergency exists, as determined by the SEC, so that the sale of securities held in the Separate Account may not reasonably occur, or so that the Company may not reasonably determine the value the Separate Account's net assets; or (4) during any other period when the SEC, by order, so permits for the protection of security holders. Payments from the Fixed Account may be delayed up to 6 months. THE SEPARATE ACCOUNTS MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and MetLife Life and Annuity Company of Connecticut each sponsor Separate Accounts: Fund ABD and Fund ABD II, respectively. References to "Separate Account" refer either to Fund ABD or Fund ABD II, depending on the issuer of your Contract. Both Fund ABD and Fund ABD II were established on October 17, 1995 and are registered with the SEC as unit investment trusts under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. We will invest Separate Account assets attributable to the Contracts exclusively in the shares of the Variable Funding Options. We hold the assets of Fund ABD and Fund ABD II for the exclusive and separate benefit of the owners of each Separate Account, according to the laws of Connecticut. Income, gains and losses, whether or not 33
485BPOS231st Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 231st
realized, from assets allocated to the Separate Account are, in accordance with the Contracts, credited to or charged against the Separate Account without regard to other income, gains and losses of the Company. The assets held by the Separate Account are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business that we may conduct. Obligations under the Contract are obligations of the Company. All investment income and other distributions of the funding options are payable to the Separate Account. We reinvest all such income and/or distributions in shares of the respective funding option at net asset value. Shares of the funding options are currently sold only to life insurance company Separate Accounts to fund variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts. Certain variable annuity separate accounts and variable life insurance separate accounts may invest in the funding options simultaneously (called "mixed" and "shared" funding). It is conceivable that in the future it may be disadvantageous to do so. Although the Company and the Variable Funding Options do not currently foresee any such disadvantages either to variable annuity contract owners or variable life policy owners, each Underlying Fund's Board of Directors intends to monitor events in order to identify any material conflicts between them and to determine what action, if any, should be taken. If a Board of Directors was to conclude that separate funds should be established for variable life and variable annuity separate accounts, the variable annuity contract owners would not bear any of the related expenses, but variable annuity contract owners and variable life insurance policy owners would no longer have the economies of scale resulting from a larger combined fund. We reserve the right to transfer assets of the Separate Account to another separate account, and to modify the structure or operation of the Separate Account, subject to the necessary regulatory approvals. If we do so, we guarantee that the modification will not affect your Contract Value. PERFORMANCE INFORMATION In advertisements for the Contract, we may include performance figures to show you how a Variable Funding Option has performed in the past. These figures are rates of return or yield quotations shown as a percent. These figures show past performance of a Variable Funding Option and are not an indication of how a Variable Funding Option will perform in the future. Performance figures for each Variable Funding Option are based in part on the performance of a corresponding Underlying Fund. In some cases, the Underlying Fund may have existed before the technical inception of the corresponding Variable Funding Option. In those cases, we can create "hypothetical historical performance" of a Variable Funding Option. These figures show the performance that the Variable Funding Option would have achieved had it been available during the entire history of the Underlying Fund. In a low interest rate environment, yields for money market Subaccounts, after deduction of the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, Administrative Expense Charge and the charge for any optional benefit riders (if applicable), may be negative even though the Underlying Fund's yield, before deducting for such charges, is positive. If you allocate a portion of your Contract Value to a money market Subaccount or participate in an asset allocation program where Contract Value is allocated to a money market Subaccount under the applicable asset allocation model, that portion of your Contract Value may decrease in value. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS The following general discussion of the federal income tax consequences related to your investment in this Contract is not intended to cover all situations, and is not meant to provide tax or legal advice. Because of the complexity of the law and the fact that the tax results will vary depending on many factors, you should consult your tax and/or legal adviser regarding the tax implications of purchasing this Contract based upon your individual situation. For further tax information, an additional discussion of certain tax matters is contained in the SAI. GENERAL TAXATION OF ANNUITIES Congress has recognized the value of saving for retirement by providing certain tax benefits, in the form of tax deferral, for premiums paid under an annuity and permitting tax-free transfers between the various investment options offered under the Contract. The Internal Revenue Code ("Code") governs how earnings on your investment in the Contract are ultimately taxed, depending upon the type of contract, qualified or non-qualified, and the manner in which the money is distributed, as briefly described below. In analyzing the benefits of tax deferral it is important to note that the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 34
485BPOS232nd Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 232nd
amended Code Section 1 to reduce the marginal tax rates on long-term capital gains and dividends to 5% and 15%, respectively. The reduced rates apply during 2003 through 2008, and thereafter will increase to prior levels. Under current federal income tax law, the taxable portion of distributions under variable annuity contracts and qualified plans (including IRAs) is not eligible for the reduced tax rate applicable to long-term capital gains and dividends. Earnings under annuity contracts, like interest payable on fixed investments (notes, bonds, etc.) continue to be taxed as ordinary income (top rate of 35%). STATE AND LOCAL TAXES. The rules for state and local income taxes may differ from the federal income tax rules. Purchasers and prospective purchasers of the Contract should consult their own tax advisors and the law of the applicable taxing jurisdiction to determine what rules and tax benefits apply to the contract. PENALTY TAX FOR PREMATURE DISTRIBUTIONS. For both Qualified and Non-qualified Contracts, taxable distributions taken before the Contract Owner has reached the age of 59-1/2 will be subject to a 10% additional tax penalty unless the distribution is taken in a series of periodic distributions, for life or life expectancy, or unless the distribution follows the death or disability of the Contract Owner. Other exceptions may be available in certain qualified plans. The 10% tax penalty is in addition to any other penalties that may apply under your Contract and the normal income taxes due on the distribution. TAX-FREE EXCHANGES. Code Section 1035 provides that, if certain conditions are met, no gain or loss is recognized when an annuity contract is received in exchange for a life insurance, endowment, or annuity contract. Since different annuity contracts have different expenses, fees and benefits, a tax-free exchange could result in your investment becoming subject to higher or lower fees and/or expenses. FEDERAL ESTATE TAXES. While no attempt is being made to discuss the Federal estate tax implications of the Contract, you should keep 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 payable to the designated beneficiary or the actuarial value of the payments to be received by the beneficiary. Consult an estate planning advisor 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 the Company to deduct the tax from your Contract or from any applicable payment and pay it directly to the IRS. TYPES OF CONTRACTS: QUALIFIED AND NON-QUALIFIED QUALIFIED ANNUITY CONTRACTS If you purchase your Contract with proceeds of an eligible rollover distribution from any tax-qualified employee pension or retirement savings plan or individual retirement annuity (IRA), your Contract is referred to as a Qualified Contract. Some examples of Qualified Contracts are: IRAs (including Roth IRAs), tax sheltered annuities established by public school systems or certain tax exempt organizations under Code Section 403(b), corporate-sponsored pension, retirement savings and profit sharing plans (including 401(k) plans), Keogh Plans (for self-employed individuals), and certain other qualified deferred compensation plans. The rights and benefits under a Qualified Contract may be limited by the terms of the retirement plan, regardless of the terms and conditions of the Contract. Plan participants making contributions to Qualified Contracts will be subject to the required minimum distribution rules as provided by the Code and described below. All qualified plans (including IRAs) receive tax-deferral under the Code. Although there are no additional tax benefits to funding your qualified plan or IRA with an annuity, it does offer you additional insurance benefits, such as the availability of a guaranteed income for life. TAXATION OF QUALIFIED ANNUITY CONTRACTS Under a qualified annuity, since amounts paid into the Contract generally have not yet been taxed, the full amount of any distributions (including the amount attributable to Purchase Payments), whether paid in the form of lump sum withdrawals or Annuity Payments, are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates unless the distribution is transferred to an eligible rollover account or contract. There are special rules which govern the taxation of Qualified Contracts, including withdrawal restrictions, requirements for mandatory 35

distributions, and contribution limits. Amounts rolled over to the Contract from other qualified funding vehicles generally are not subject to current taxation. HURRICANE RELIEF LOANS. Your plan may provide for increased limits and delayed repayment of participant loans, where otherwise permitted by your plan, pursuant to the Katrina Emergency Tax Relief Act of 2005 and the Gulf Opportunity Zone Act of 2005. An eligible retirement plan other than an IRA may allow a plan loan to delay loan repayment by certain individuals impacted by Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma , whose principal places of abode on certain dates were located in statutorily defined disaster areas and who sustained an economic loss due to the hurricane. Generally, if the due date for any repayment with respect to such loan occurs during a period beginning on September 23, 2005 (for purposes of Hurricane Katrina) or October 23, 2005 (for purposes of Hurricanes Rita and Wilma) and ending on December 31, 2006, then such due date may be delayed for one year. Note: For purposes of these loan rules, an individual cannot be a qualified individual with respect to more than one hurricane. Consult your tax advisor to determine if hurricane relief is available to your particular situation. MANDATORY DISTRIBUTIONS FOR QUALIFIED PLANS Federal tax law requires that minimum annual distributions begin by April 1st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which an IRA owner attains age 70-1/2. Participants in qualified plans and 403(b) annuities may defer minimum distributions until the later of April 1st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which they attain age 70-1/2 or the year of retirement (except for participants who are 5% or more owners of the plan sponsor) . If you own more than one individual retirement annuity and/or account, you may satisfy the minimum distribution rules on an aggregate basis (i.e. determine the total amount of required distributions from all IRAs and take the required amount from any one or more IRAs). A similar aggregate approach is available to meet your 403(b) minimum distribution requirements if you have multiple 403(b) annuities. Recently promulgated Treasury regulations changed the distribution requirements; therefore, it is important that you consult your tax adviser as to the impact of these regulations on your personal situation. MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS FOR BENEFICIARIES UPON THE CONTRACT OWNER'S DEATH: Upon the death of the Contract Owner and/or Annuitant of a Qualified Contract, the funds remaining in the Contract must be completely withdrawn within five years from the date of death or minimum distributions may be taken over the life expectancy of the individual beneficiaries (or in the case of certain trusts that are contract beneficiaries, over the life expectancy of the individuals who are the beneficiaries of the trust), provided such distributions are payable at least annually and begin within one year from the date of death. Special rules apply where the beneficiary is the surviving spouse, which allow the spouse to assume the Contract and defer the minimum distribution requirements. Final income tax regulations regarding minimum distribution requirements were released in June 2004. These regulations affect both deferred and income annuities. Under these new rules, effective with respect to minimum distributions required for the 2006 distribution year, in general, the value of all benefits under a deferred annuity (including death benefits in excess of cash value, including the Earnings Preservation Benefit, as well as all living benefits such as GMIB and GMWB) must be added to the account value in computing the amount required to be distributed over the applicable period. We will provide you with additional information as to the amount of your interest in the Contract that is subject to required minimum distributions under this new rule and either compute the required amount for you or offer to do so at your request. The new rules are not entirely clear and you should consult your personal tax advisor as to how these rules affect your Contract. NOTE TO PARTICIPANTS IN QUALIFIED PLANS INCLUDING 401, 403(B), 457 AS WELL AS IRA OWNERS: While annual plan contribution limits may be increased from time to time by Congress and the IRS for federal income tax purposes, these limits must be adopted by each state for any higher limits to be effective at a state income tax level. In other words, the permissible contribution limits for federal and state income tax purposes may be different. Therefore, in certain states, a portion of the contributions may not be excludible or deductible from state income taxes. Please consult your employer or tax adviser regarding this issue. INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITIES To the extent of earned income for the year and not exceeding the applicable limit for the taxable year, an individual may make deductible contributions to an individual retirement annuity (IRA). The applicable limit ($2,000 per year prior to 2002) has been increased by the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 ("EGTRRA"). The limit is $3,000 for calendar years 2002-2004, $4,000 for calendar years 2005-2007, and will be indexed for inflation in years subsequent to 2008. Additional "catch-up contributions" may be made to an IRA by individuals age 50 or over. There are certain limits on the deductible amount based on the adjusted gross income of the individual and spouse and on their participation in a retirement plan. If an individual is married and the spouse is not employed, the individual may establish IRAs for the individual and spouse. Purchase Payments may then be made annually into IRAs for both spouses in the maximum amount of 100% of earned income up to a combined limit based on the individual limits outlined above. Deductible contributions to an IRA and Roth IRA for the year must be aggregated for purposes of the individual Code Section 408A limits and the Code Section 219 limits (age 50+catch-up). Partial or full distributions are treated as ordinary income, except that amounts contributed after 1986 on a non-deductible basis are not includable in income when distributed. An additional tax of 10% will apply to any taxable distribution from the IRA that is received by the participant before the age of 59 1/2 except by reason of death, disability or as part of a series of payments for life or life expectancy. Distributions must commence by April 1st of the calendar year after the close of the calendar year in which the individual attains the age of 70 1/2. Certain other mandatory distribution rules apply on the death of the individual. The individual must maintain personal and tax return records of any non-deductible contributions and distributions. Section 408 (k) of the Code provides for the purchase of a Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) plan. A SEP is funded through an IRA and can accept an annual employer contribution limited to the lesser of $42,000 or 100% of pay for each participant in 2005 ($44,000 for 2006). ROTH IRAs Effective January 1, 1998, Section 408A of the Code permits certain individuals to contribute to a Roth IRA. Eligibility to make contributions is based upon income, and the applicable limits vary based on marital status and/or whether the contribution is a rollover contribution from another IRA or an annual contribution. Contributions to a Roth IRA, which are subject to certain limitations, (similar to the annual limits for traditional IRAs), are not deductible and must be made in cash or as a rollover or transfer from another Roth IRA or other IRA. A conversion of "traditional" IRA to a Roth IRA may be subject to tax and other special rules apply. You should consult a tax adviser before combining any converted amounts with other Roth IRA contributions, including any other conversion amounts from other tax years. Qualified distributions from a Roth IRA are tax-free. A qualified distribution requires that the Roth IRA has been held for at least 5 years, and the distribution is made after age 59 1/2, on death or disability of the owner, or for a limited amount ($10,000) for a qualified first time home purchase for the owner or certain relatives. Income tax and a 10% penalty tax may apply to distributions made (1) before age 59 1/2 (subject to certain exceptions) or (2) during five taxable years starting with the year in which the first contribution is made to the Roth IRA. 36

NON-QUALIFIED ANNUITY CONTRACTS If you purchase the Contract on an individual basis with after-tax dollars and not under one of the programs described above, your Contract is referred to as non-qualified. As the owner of a non-qualified annuity, you do not receive any tax benefit (deduction or deferral of income) on Purchase Payments, but you will not be taxed on increases in the value of your Contract until a distribution occurs -- either as a withdrawal made prior to the Maturity Date or in the form of periodic Annuity Payments. As a general rule, there is income in the Contract (earnings) to the extent the Contract Value exceeds your investment in the Contract. The investment in the Contract equals the total Purchase Payments less any amount received previously which was excludible from gross income. Generally, different tax rules apply to Annuity Payments than to withdrawals and payments received before the annuity starting date. When a withdrawal is made, you are taxed on the amount of the withdrawal that is considered earnings under federal tax laws. Similarly, when you receive an Annuity Payment, part of each periodic payment is considered a return of your Purchase Payments and will not be taxed, but the remaining portion of the Annuity Payment (i.e., any earnings) will be considered ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. Annuity Payments are subject to an "excludable amount" or "exclusion ratio" which determines how much of each payment is treated as: - a non-taxable return of your purchase payment; or - a taxable payment of earnings. We generally will tell you how much of each Annuity Payment is a non-taxable return of your Purchase Payments. However, it is possible that the IRS could conclude that the taxable portion of Annuity 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. Generally, once the total amount treated as a non-taxable return of your Purchase Payments equals your Purchase Payments, then all remaining payments are fully taxable. We will withhold a portion of the taxable amount of your Annuity Payment for income taxes, unless you elect otherwise. The amount we withhold is determined by the Code. Code Section 72(s) requires that non-qualified annuity contracts meet minimum mandatory distribution requirements upon the death of the Contract Owner, including the death of either of the Joint Owners. If these requirements are not met, the Contract will not be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes and earnings under the Contract will be taxable currently, not when distributed. The distribution required depends, among other things, upon whether an annuity option is elected or whether the succeeding Contract Owner is the surviving spouse. We will administer contracts in accordance with these rules and we will notify you when you should begin receiving payments. There is a more complete discussion of these rules in the SAI. If a non-qualified annuity is owned by a non-natural person (e.g., a corporation), increases in the value of the Contract attributable to Purchase Payments made after February 28, 1986 are includable in income annually and taxed at ordinary income tax rates. Furthermore, for contracts issued after April 22, 1987, if the Contract is transferred to another person or entity without adequate consideration, all deferred increases in value will be treated as income for federal income tax purposes at the time of the transfer. PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS: If you make a partial withdrawal of your Contract Value, the distribution generally will be taxed as first coming from earnings (income in the Contract) and then from your Purchase Payments. These withdrawn earnings are includable in your taxable income. (See Penalty Tax for Premature Distributions below.) Any direct or indirect borrowing against the value of the Contract or pledging of the Contract as security for a loan will be treated as a cash distribution under the tax law, and will have tax consequences in the year taken. It should be noted that there is no guidance as to the determination of the amount of income in a Contract if it is issued with a Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (GMWB). Therefore, you should consult with your tax adviser as to the potential tax consequences of a partial surrender if your Contract is issued with a GMWB. PARTIAL ANNUITIZATION (if available under your Contract): At the present time the IRS has not approved the use of an exclusion ratio or exclusion amount when only part of your Contract Value is applied to a payment option. Currently, we will treat the application of less than your entire Contract Value under a Non-qualified Contract to a payment option (i.e. taking Annuity Payments) as a taxable withdrawal for federal income tax purposes (which may also be subject to the 10% penalty tax if you are under age 59-1/2). We will then treat the amount of the withdrawal (after any deductions for taxes) as the purchase price of an income annuity and tax report the 37
485BPOS235th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 235th
income payments received that annuity under the rules for variable income annuities. Consult your tax attorney prior to partially annuitizing your Contract. We will determine the excludable amount for each income payment under the Contract as a whole by using the rules applicable to variable income payments in general (i.e. by dividing your after-tax purchase price, as adjusted for any refund or guarantee feature, by the number of expected income payments from the appropriate IRS table). However, the IRS may determine that the excludable amount is different from our computation. The tax law treats all non-qualified deferred annuities issued after October 21, 1988 by the same company (or its affiliates) to the same owner during any one calendar year as one annuity. This may cause a greater portion of your withdrawals from the Deferred Annuity to be treated as income than would otherwise be the case. Although the law is not clear, the aggregation rule may also adversely affect the tax treatment of payments received under an income annuity where the owner has purchased more than one non-qualified annuity during the same calendar year from the same or an affiliated company after October 21, 1988, and is not receiving income payments from all annuities at the same time. DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR VARIABLE ANNUITIES The Code requires that any non-qualified variable annuity contracts based on a Separate Account must meet specific diversification standards. Non-qualified variable annuity contracts shall not be treated as an annuity for federal income tax purposes if investments made in the account are not adequately diversified. Final tax regulations define how Separate Accounts must be diversified. The Company constantly monitors the diversification of investments and believes that its accounts are adequately diversified. The consequence of any failure to diversify is essentially the loss to the Contract Owner of tax-deferred treatment, requiring the current inclusion of a proportionate share of the income and gains from the Separate Account assets in the income of each Contract Owner. The Company intends to administer all contracts subject to this provision of law in a manner that will maintain adequate diversification. OWNERSHIP OF THE INVESTMENTS In certain circumstances, owners of variable annuity 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 Separate Account assets. There is little guidance in this area, and some features of the Contract, such as the number of funds available and the flexibility of the Contract Owner to allocate premium payments and transfer amounts among the funding options, 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. TAXATION OF DEATH BENEFIT PROCEEDS Amounts may be distributed from a Non-qualified Contract because of the death of an owner or Annuitant. Generally, such amounts are includable in the income of the recipient as follows: (i) if distributed in a lump sum, they are taxed in the same manner as a full surrender of the Contract; or (ii) if distributed under a payment option, they are taxed in the same way as Annuity Payments. OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS TREATMENT OF CHARGES FOR OPTIONAL BENEFITS The Contract may provide one or more optional enhanced death benefits or other minimum guaranteed benefit that in some cases may exceed the greater of purchase price or the Contract Value. It is possible that the Internal Revenue Service may take the position that the charges for the optional enhanced benefit(s) are deemed to be taxable distributions to you. Although we do not believe that a charge under such optional enhanced benefit should be treated as a taxable withdrawal, you should consult with your tax adviser before selecting any rider or endorsement to the Contract. 38

PUERTO RICO TAX CONSIDERATIONS The Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 1994 (the "1994 Code") taxes distributions from non-qualified annuity 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 1994 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 (payable over your lifetime) is also calculated differently under the 1994 Code. Since Puerto Rico residents are also subject to U.S. income tax on all income other than income sourced to Puerto Rico and the Internal Revenue Service 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 1994 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. NON-RESIDENT ALIENS Distributions to non resident aliens ("NRAs") are subject to special and complex tax and withholding rules under the Code with respect to U.S. source income, some of which are based upon the particular facts and circumstances of the Contract Owner, the beneficiary and the transaction itself. As stated above, the IRS has taken the position that income from the Contract received by NRAs is considered U.S. source income. In addition, Annuity Payments to NRAs in many countries are exempt from U.S. tax (or subject to lower rates) based upon a tax treaty, provided that the Contract Owner complies with the applicable requirements. NRAs should seek guidance from a tax adviser regarding their personal situation.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financial statements for the Company and its Separate Account are located in the Statement of Additional Information. DISTRIBUTION OF VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACTS DISTRIBUTION AND PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT. MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and MetLife Life and Annuity Company of Connecticut (together the "Company") have appointed MLI Distribution LLC ("MLIDLLC") (formerly, Travelers Distribution LLC) to serve as the principal underwriter and distributor of the securities offered through this Prospectus, pursuant to the terms of a Distribution and Principal 39
485BPOS237th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 237th
Underwriting Agreement. MLIDLLC, which is an affiliate of the Company, also acts as the principal underwriter and distributor of other variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies issued by the Company and its affiliated companies. The Company reimburses MLIDLLC for expenses MLIDLLC incurs in distributing the Contracts (e.g. commissions payable to retail broker-dealers who sell the Contracts). MLIDLLC does not retain any fees under the Contracts; however, MLIDLLC may receive 12b-1 fees from the Underlying Funds. MLIDLLC's principal executive offices are located at One Cityplace, Hartford, Connecticut 06103. MLIDLLC is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as the securities commissions in the states in which it operates, and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"). MLIDLLC and the Company enter into selling agreements with affiliated and unaffiliated broker-dealers who are registered with the SEC and are members of the NASD, and with entities that may offer the Contracts but are exempt from registration. Applications for the Contract are solicited by registered representatives who are associated persons of such broker-dealer firms. Such representatives act as appointed agents of the Company under applicable state insurance law and must be licensed to sell variable insurance products. The Company no longer offers the Contract to new purchasers, but it continues to accept Purchase Payments from existing customers. COMPENSATION. Broker-dealers who have selling agreements with MLIDLLC and the Company are paid compensation for the promotion and sale of the Contracts. Registered representatives who solicit sales of the Contract typically receive a portion of the compensation payable to the broker-dealer firm. The amount the registered representative receives depends on the agreement between the firm and the registered representative. This agreement may also provide for the payment of other types of cash and non-cash compensation and other benefits. A broker-dealer firm or registered representative of a firm may receive different compensation for selling one product over another and/or may be inclined to favor one product provider over another product provider due to differing compensation rates. We generally pay compensation as a percentage of Purchase Payments invested in the Contract. Alternatively, we may pay lower compensation on Purchase Payments but pay periodic asset-based compensation based on all or a portion of the Contract Value. The amount and timing of compensation may vary depending on the selling agreement but is not expected to exceed 7.50% of Purchase Payments (if up-front compensation is paid to registered representatives) and up to 1.50% annually of average Contract Value (if asset-based compensation is paid to registered representatives). The Company and MLIDLLC have also entered into preferred distribution arrangements with certain broker-dealer firms. These arrangements are sometimes called "shelf space" arrangements. Under these arrangements, the Company and MLIDLLC pay separate, additional compensation to the broker-dealer firm for services the broker-dealer provides in connection with the distribution of the Company's products. These services may include providing the Company with access to the distribution network of the broker-dealer, the hiring and training of the broker-dealer's sales personnel, the sponsoring of conferences and seminars by the broker-dealer, or general marketing services performed by the broker-dealer. The broker-dealer may also provide other services or incur other costs in connection with distributing the Company's products. These preferred distribution arrangements will not be offered to all broker-dealer firms and the terms of such arrangements may differ between broker-dealer firms. Compensation payable under such arrangements may be based on aggregate, net or anticipated sales of the Contracts, total assets attributable to sales of the Contract by registered representatives of the broker-dealer firm or based on the length of time that a Contract Owner has owned the Contract. Any such compensation payable to a broker-dealer firm will be made by MLIDLLC or the Company out of their own assets and will not result in any additional direct charge to you. Such compensation may cause the broker-dealer firm and its registered representatives to favor the Company's products. The Company and MLIDLLC have entered into a preferred distribution arrangement with Morgan Stanley DW, Inc., the only broker-dealer firm that is authorized by the Company and MLIDLLC to offer the Contracts. See the "Statement of Additional Information DISTRIBUTION AND PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT" for a list of the broker-dealer firms that received such additional compensation during 2005, as well as the range of additional compensation paid. The Company and MLIDLLC have entered into selling agreements with certain broker-dealer firms that have an affiliate that acts as investment adviser or sub-adviser to one or more Underlying Funds that may be offered under the Contracts. These investment advisory firms include Fidelity Management & Research Company, Morgan Stanley Investment Advisers Inc., Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, L.P., MetLife Investment Funds Management LLC, MetLife Advisers, LLC and Met Investors Advisory LLC. MetLife 40
485BPOS238th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 238th
Investment Funds Management LLC, MetLife Advisers, LLC and Met Investors Advisory LLC are affiliates of the Company. Registered representatives of broker-dealer firms with an affiliated company acting as an adviser or a sub-adviser may favor these Funds when offering the Contracts. CONFORMITY WITH STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS The laws of the state in which we deliver a Contract govern that Contract. Where a state has not approved a Contract feature or funding option, it will not be available in that state. Any paid-up annuity, Cash Surrender Value or death benefits that are available under the Contract are not less than the minimum benefits required by the statutes of the state in which we delivered the Contract. We reserve the right to make any changes, including retroactive changes, in the Contract to the extent that the change is required to meet the requirements of any law or regulation issued by any governmental agency to which the Company, the Contract or the Contract Owner is subject. VOTING RIGHTS The Company is the legal owner of the shares of the Underlying Funds. However, we believe that when an Underlying Fund solicits proxies in conjunction with a vote of shareholders we are required to obtain from you and from other owners instructions on how to vote those shares. We will vote all shares, including those we may own on our own behalf, and those where we have not received instructions from Contract Owners, in the same proportion as shares for which we received voting instructions. Should we determine that we are no longer required to comply with the above, we will vote on the shares in our own right. In certain limited circumstances, and when permitted by law, we may disregard voting instructions. If we do disregard voting instructions, a summary of that action and the reasons for such action would be included in the next annual report to Contract Owners. RESTRICTIONS ON FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS Federal laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering might, in certain circumstances, require us to block a Contract Owner's ability to make certain transactions and thereby refuse to accept any request for transfers, withdrawals, surrenders, or death benefits, until the instructions are received from the appropriate regulator. We may also be required to provide additional information about you and your Contract to government regulators. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In the ordinary course of business, the Company, 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, the Company does not believe any such action or proceeding will have a material adverse effect upon the Separate Account or upon the ability of MLIDLLC to perform its contract with the Separate Account or of the Company to meet its obligations under the Contracts. 41

APPENDIX C THE FIXED ACCOUNT The Fixed Account is part of the Company's general account assets. These general account assets include all assets of the Company other than those held in the separate accounts sponsored by the Company or its affiliates. The staff of the SEC does not generally review the disclosure in the prospectus relating to the Fixed Account. Disclosure regarding the Fixed Account and the general account may, however, be subject to certain provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in the prospectus. Under the Fixed Account, the Company assumes the risk of investment gain or loss, guarantees a specified interest rate, and guarantees a specified periodic annuity payment. The investment gain or loss of the Separate Account or any of the funding options does not affect the Fixed Account Contract Value, or the dollar amount of fixed annuity payments made under any payout option. We guarantee that, at any time, the Fixed Account Contract Value will not be less than the amount of the Purchase Payments allocated to the Fixed Account, plus interest credited as described below, less any applicable premium taxes or prior withdrawals. Purchase Payments allocated to the Fixed Account and any transfers made to the Fixed Account become part of the Company's general account, which supports insurance and annuity obligations. The general account and any interest therein is not registered under, or subject to the provisions of, the Securities Act of 1933 or Investment Company Act of 1940. We will invest the assets of the Fixed Account at our discretion. Investment income from such Fixed Account assets will be allocated to us and to the Contracts participating in the Fixed Account. Investment income from the Fixed Account allocated to us includes compensation for mortality and expense risks borne by us in connection with Fixed Account Contracts. The amount of such investment income allocated to the Contracts will vary from year to year in our sole discretion at such rate or rates as we prospectively declare from time to time. We guarantee the initial rate for any allocations into the Fixed Account for one year from the date of such allocation. We guarantee subsequent renewal rates for the calendar quarter. We also guarantee that for the life of the Contract we will credit interest at not less than 3% per year. We will determine any interest we credit to amounts allocated to the Fixed Account in excess of 3% per year in our sole discretion. You assume the risk that interest credited to the Fixed Account may not exceed the minimum guarantee of 3% for any given year. TRANSFERS You may make transfers from the Fixed Account to any available Variable Funding Option(s) twice a year during the 30 days following the semiannual anniversary of the Contract date. We limit transfers to an amount of up to 15% of the Fixed Account Contract Value on the semiannual Contract date anniversary. (This restriction does not apply to transfers under the Dollar Cost Averaging Program.) Amounts previously transferred from the Fixed Account to variable funding options may not be transferred back to the Fixed Account for a period of at least six months from the date of transfer. We reserve the right to waive either of these restrictions. Automated transfers from the Fixed Account to any of the variable funding options may begin at any time. Automated transfers from the Fixed Account may not deplete your Fixed Account value in a period of less than twelve months from your enrollment in the Dollar Cost Averaging Program. C-1

You direct your payment(s) to one or more of the Variable Funding Options and/or to the Fixed Account that is part of our general account (the "Fixed Account"). We guarantee money directed to the Fixed Account as to principal and interest. The Variable Funding Options fluctuate with the investment performance of the Underlying Funds and are not guaranteed. You can also lose money in the Variable Funding Options. The Contract, like all deferred variable annuity Contracts, has two phases: the accumulation phase and the payout phase (annuity period). During the accumulation phase generally, under a Qualified Contract, your pre-tax contributions accumulate on a tax-deferred basis and are taxed as income when you make a withdrawal, presumably when you are in a lower tax bracket. During the accumulation phase, under a Non-qualified Contract, earnings on your after-tax contributions accumulate on a tax-deferred basis and are taxed as income when you make a withdrawal. The payout phase occurs when you begin receiving payments from your Contract. The amount of money you accumulate in your Contract determines the amount of income (Annuity Payments) you receive during the payout phase. During the payout phase, you may choose one of a number of annuity options. You may receive income payments in the form of a variable annuity, a fixed annuity, or a combination of both. If you elect variable income payments, the dollar amount of your payments may increase or decrease. Once you choose one of the annuity options or income options and begin to receive payments, it cannot be changed. WHO CAN PURCHASE THIS CONTRACT? The Contract is currently available for use in connection with (1) individual non-qualified purchases; (2) rollovers from Individual Retirement Annuities (IRAs); (3) rollovers from other qualified retirement plans and (4) beneficiary-directed transfers of death proceeds from another contract. Qualified Contracts include contracts qualifying under Section 401(a), 403(b), or 408(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Purchase of this Contract through a tax qualified retirement plan ("Plan") does not provide any additional tax deferral benefits beyond those provided by the Plan. Accordingly, if you are purchasing this Contract through a Plan, you should consider purchasing this Contract for its Death Benefit, Annuity Option Benefits, and other non-tax-related benefits. The ages of the owner and Annuitant determine if you can purchase this product, and which optional features are available to you. See The Annuity Contract section for more information. CAN I EXCHANGE MY CURRENT ANNUITY CONTRACT FOR THIS CONTRACT? The Code generally permits you to exchange one annuity Contract for another in a "tax-free exchange." Therefore, you can transfer the proceeds from another annuity contract to purchase this Contract. Before making an exchange to acquire this Contract, you should carefully compare this Contract to your current contract. You may have to pay a surrender charge under your current contract to exchange it for this Contract, and this Contract has its own surrender charges that would apply to you. The other fees and charges under this Contract may be higher or lower and the benefits may be different than those of your current contract. In addition, you may have to pay federal income or penalty taxes on the exchange if it does not qualify for tax-free treatment. You should not exchange another contract for this Contract unless you determine, after evaluating all the facts, the 5
485BPOS259th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 259th
exchange is in your best interests. Remember that the person selling you the Contract generally will earn a commission on the sale. You may purchase the Contract with an initial payment of at least $5000. You may make additional payments of at least $500 at any time during the accumulation phase. No additional payments are allowed if this Contract is purchased with a beneficiary-directed transfer of death proceeds. IS THERE A RIGHT TO RETURN PERIOD? If you cancel the Contract within twenty days after you receive it, you will receive a full refund of your Contract Value plus any Contract charges and premium taxes you paid (but not fees and charges assessed by the Underlying Funds). Where state law requires a different right to return period, or the return of Purchase Payments, the Company will comply. You bear the investment risk on the Purchase Payment allocated to a Variable Funding Option during the right to return period; therefore, the Contract Value we return may be greater or less than your Purchase Payment. If you purchased your Contract as an Individual Retirement Annuity, and you return it within the first seven days after delivery, or longer if your state law permits, we will refund your full Purchase Payment. During the remainder of the right to return period, we will refund your Contract Value (including charges we assessed). We will determine your Contract Value at the close of business on the day we receive a Written Request for a refund. CAN YOU GIVE A GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE VARIABLE FUNDING OPTIONS AND HOW THEY OPERATE? The Variable Funding Options represent Subaccounts of The Separate Account. At your direction, the Separate Account, through its Subaccounts, uses your Purchase Payments to purchase shares of one or more of the Underlying Funds that holds securities consistent with its own investment policy. Depending on market conditions, you may make or lose money in any of these Variable Funding Options. You can transfer among the Variable Funding Options as frequently as you wish without any current tax implications. Currently there is no limit to the number of transfers allowed. We may, in the future, limit the number of transfers allowed. At a minimum, we would always allow one transfer every six months. We reserve the right to restrict transfers that we determine will disadvantage other Contract Owners. You may transfer between the Fixed Account and the Variable Funding Options twice a year (during the 30 days after the six-month Contract Date anniversary), provided the amount is not greater than 15% of the Fixed Account value on that date. Amounts previously transferred from the Fixed Account to the Variable Funding Options may not be transferred back to the Fixed Account for a period of at least six months from the date of the transfer. WHAT EXPENSES WILL BE ASSESSED UNDER THE CONTRACT? The Contract has insurance features and investment features, and there are costs related to each. We deduct an administrative expense charge and a mortality and expense risk ("M&E") charge daily from amounts you allocate to the Separate Account. We deduct the administrative expense charge at an annual rate of 0.15% and deduct the M&E charge at an annual rate of 1.25%. For Contracts with a value of less than $40,000, we also deduct an annual Contract administrative charge of $30. Each Underlying Fund also charges for management costs and other expenses. We will apply a withdrawal charge to withdrawals from the Contract, and will calculate it as a percentage of the Purchase Payments. The maximum percentage is 6%, decreasing to 0% after seven full years. If you select the Enhanced Stepped-Up Provision ("E.S.P."), an additional 0.20% annually will be deducted from amounts in the Variable Funding Options. THIS PROVISION IS NOT AVAILABLE TO A CUSTOMER WHEN EITHER THE ANNUITANT OR OWNER IS AGE 76 OR OLDER ON THE RIDER EFFECTIVE DATE. If the Variable Liquidity Benefit is selected, there is a maximum charge of 6% of the amounts withdrawn. Please refer to Payment Options for a description of this benefit. HOW WILL MY PURCHASE PAYMENTS AND WITHDRAWALS BE TAXED? Generally, the payments you make to a Qualified Contract during the accumulation phase are made with before-tax dollars. Generally, you will be taxed on your Purchase Payments and on any earnings when you make a withdrawal or begin receiving Annuity Payments. Under a Non-qualified Contract, payments to the Contract are made with after-tax dollars, and earnings will generally accumulate tax-deferred. You will be taxed on these earnings when they are withdrawn from the Contract. If you are younger than 59 1/2 when you take money out, you may be charged a 10% federal penalty tax on the amount withdrawn. 6

For owners of Qualified Contracts, if you reach a certain age, you may be required by federal tax laws to begin receiving payments from your annuity or risk paying a penalty tax. In those cases, we can calculate and pay you the minimum required distribution amounts. HOW MAY I ACCESS MY MONEY? You can take withdrawals any time during the accumulation phase. Withdrawal charges may apply, as well as income taxes, and/or a penalty tax on amounts withdrawn. WHAT IS THE DEATH BENEFIT UNDER THE CONTRACT? You may choose to purchase the Standard or Enhanced Death Benefit. The death benefit applies upon the first death of the Contract Owner, joint owner, or Annuitant. Assuming you are the Annuitant, the death benefit is as follows: If you die before the Contract is in the payout phase, the person you have chosen as your beneficiary will receive a death benefit. You may also choose to purchase the Enhanced Stepped-Up Provision, which, for a fee, may increase the amount of the death benefit. We calculate the death benefit value at the close of the business day on which our Home Office receives (1) Due Proof of Death and (2) written payment instructions or the election of spousal contract continuance or beneficiary contract continuance. Please refer to the Death Benefit section in the prospectus for more details. WHERE MAY I FIND OUT MORE ABOUT ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUES? The Condensed Financial Information in Appendix A or Appendix B to this prospectus provides more information about Accumulation Unit values. ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL FEATURES? This Contract has other features you may be interested in. These include: - DOLLAR COST AVERAGING. This is a program that allows you to invest a fixed amount of money in Variable Funding Options each month, theoretically giving you a lower average cost per unit over time than a single one-time purchase. Dollar Cost Averaging requires regular investments regardless of fluctuating price levels, and does not guarantee profits or prevent losses in a declining market. Potential investors should consider their financial ability to continue purchases through periods of low price levels. - SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL OPTION. Before the Maturity Date, you can arrange to have money sent to you at set intervals throughout the year. Of course, any applicable income and penalty taxes will apply on amounts withdrawn. Withdrawals in excess of the annual free withdrawal allowance may be subject to a withdrawal charge. - AUTOMATIC REBALANCING. You may elect to have the Company periodically reallocate the values in your Contract to match the rebalancing allocation selected. - ENHANCED STEPPED-UP PROVISION ("E.S.P."). For an additional charge, the total death benefit payable may be increased based on the earnings in your Contract - BENEFICIARY CONTRACT CONTINUANCE (NOT PERMITTED FOR NON-NATURAL BENEFICIARIES). If you die before the Maturity Date, and if the value of any beneficiary's portion of the death benefit is between $20,000 and $1,000,000 as of the date of your death, that beneficiary(s) may elect to continue his/her portion of the Contract rather than have the death benefit paid to the beneficiary. 7

EXAMPLE The example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include Contract Owner transaction expenses, Contract fees, separate account annual expenses, and Underlying Fund total annual operating expenses. The example does not represent past or future expenses. Your actual expenses may be more or less than those shown. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated and that your investment has a 5% return each year. The example reflects the annual Contract administrative charge, factoring in that the charge is waived for contracts over a certain value. Additionally, the example is based on the minimum and maximum Underlying Fund total annual operating expenses shown above, and does not reflect any Underlying Fund fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. The example assumes you have elected the E.S.P. optional benefit and that you have allocated all of your Contract Value to either the Underlying Fund with the maximum total annual operating expenses or the Underlying Fund with the minimum total annual operating expenses. Your actual expenses will be less than those shown if you do not elect the E.S.P. optional benefit.

THE ANNUITY CONTRACT Premier Advisers Annuity is a Contract between the Contract Owner ("you") and the Company. This is the prospectus -- it is not the Contract. The prospectus highlights many Contract provisions to focus your attention on the Contract's essential features. Your rights and obligations under the Contract will be determined by the language of the Contract itself. When you receive your Contract, we suggest you read it promptly and carefully. There may be differences in your Contract from the descriptions in this prospectus because of the requirements of the state where we issued your Contract. We will include any such differences in your Contract. The Company offers several different annuities that your investment professional may be authorized to offer to you. Each annuity offers different features and benefits that may be appropriate for you. In particular, the annuities differ based on variations in the standard and optional death benefit protection provided for your beneficiaries, the availability of optional living benefits, the ability to access your Contract Value if necessary and the charges that you will be subject to if you make a withdrawal or surrender the annuity. The separate account charges and other charges may be different between each annuity we offer. Optional death benefits and living benefits are subject to a separate charge for the additional protections they offer to you and your beneficiaries. Furthermore, annuities that offer greater flexibility to access your Contract Value generally are subject to higher separate account charges than annuities that deduct charges if you make a withdrawal or surrender. We encourage you to evaluate the fees, expenses, benefits and features of this annuity against those of other investment products, including other annuity products offered by us and other insurance companies. Before purchasing this or any other investment product you should consider whether the product you purchase is consistent with your risk tolerance, investment objectives, investment time horizon, financial and tax situation, liquidity needs and how you intend to use the annuity. 12

You make Purchase Payments to us and we credit them to your Contract. We promise to pay you an income, in the form of Annuity Payments, beginning on a future date that you choose, the Maturity Date. The Purchase Payments accumulate tax deferred in the funding options of your choice. We offer multiple Variable Funding Options. We may also offer a Fixed Account option. The Contract Owner assumes the risk of gain or loss according to the performance of the Variable Funding Options. The Contract Value is the amount of Purchase Payments, plus or minus any investment experience on the amounts you allocate to the Separate Account ("Separate Account Contract Value") or interest on the amounts you allocate to the Fixed Account ("Fixed Account Contract Value"). The Contract Value also reflects all withdrawals made and charges deducted. There is generally no guarantee that at the Maturity Date the Contract Value will equal or exceed the total Purchase Payments made under the Contract. The date the Contract and its benefits become effective is referred to as the Contract Date. Each 12-month period following the Contract Date is called a Contract Year. Certain changes and elections must be made in writing to the Company. Where the term "Written Request" is used, it means that you must send written information to our Home Office in a form and content satisfactory to us. The ages of the owner and Annuitant determine whether you can purchase the Contract, and which optional features are available to you. [Enlarge/Download Table] MAXIMUM AGE BASED ON THE OLDER OF THE OWNER AND DEATH BENEFIT/OPTIONAL FEATURE ANNUITANT ON THE CONTRACT DATE -------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- Standard Death Benefit Age 85 Enhanced Stepped-Up Provision (E.S.P.) Age 75 Since optional death benefits carry higher charges, you should consider the ages of the owner and Annuitant when electing these benefits, as the additional value provided by the benefit may be significantly reduced or eliminated depending on the ages of the owner and Annuitant at the time of election. Purchase of this Contract through a tax qualified retirement plan or IRA does not provide any additional tax deferral benefits beyond those provided by the plan or the IRA. Accordingly, if you are purchasing this Contract through a plan or IRA, you should consider purchasing this Contract for its Death Benefit, Annuity Option Benefits, and other non-tax-related benefits. You should consult with your tax adviser to determine if this Contract is appropriate for you. CONTRACT OWNER INQUIRIES Any questions you have about your Contract should be directed to our Home Office at 1-800-599-9460. PURCHASE PAYMENTS Your initial Purchase Payment is due and payable before the Contract becomes effective. The initial Purchase Payment must be at least $5,000. You may make additional payments of at least $500 at any time. No additional payments are allowed if this Contract is purchased with a beneficiary-directed transfer of death benefit proceeds. Under certain circumstances, we may waive the minimum Purchase Payment requirement. Purchase Payments over $1,000,000 may be made only with our prior consent. We will apply the initial Purchase Payment less any applicable premium tax within two business days after we receive it at our Home Office with a properly completed application or order request. If your request or other information accompanying the initial Purchase Payment is incomplete when received, we will hold the Purchase Payment for up to five business days. If we cannot obtain the necessary information within five business days, we will return the Purchase Payment in full, unless you specifically consent for us to keep it until you provide the necessary information. We will credit subsequent Purchase Payments to a Contract on the same business day we receive it, if it is received in good order by our Home Office by 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. A business day is any day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for regular trading (except when trading is restricted due to an emergency as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission). 13
485BPOS267th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 267th
ACCUMULATION UNITS The period between the Contract Date and the Maturity Date is the Accumulation Period. During the Accumulation Period, an Accumulation Unit is used to calculate the value of a Contract. Each Variable Funding Option has a corresponding Accumulation Unit value. The Accumulation Units are valued each business day and their values may increase or decrease from day to day. The daily change in value of an Accumulation Unit each day is based on the investment performance of the corresponding Underlying Fund, and the deduction of separate account charges shown in the Fee Table in this prospectus. The number of Accumulation Units we will credit to your Contract once we receive a Purchase Payment is determined by dividing the amount directed to each Variable Funding Option by the value of its Accumulation Unit. Normally, we calculate the value of an Accumulation Unit for each Variable Funding Option as of the close of regular trading (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time)each day the New York Stock Exchange is open. After the value is calculated, we credit your Contract. During the Annuity Period (i.e., after the Maturity Date), you are credited with Annuity Units. THE VARIABLE FUNDING OPTIONS You choose the Variable Funding Options to which you allocate your Purchase Payments. From time to time we may make new Variable Funding Options available. These Variable Funding Options are Subaccounts of the Separate Account. The Subaccounts invest in the Underlying Funds. You are not investing directly in the Underlying Fund. Each Underlying Fund is a portfolio of an open-end management investment company that is registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940. These Underlying Funds are not publicly traded and are offered only through variable annuity contracts, variable life insurance policies, and in some instances, certain retirement plans. They are not the same retail mutual funds as those offered outside of a variable annuity or variable life insurance product, although the investment practices and fund names may be similar, and the portfolio managers may be identical. Accordingly, the performance of the retail mutual fund is likely to be different from that of the Underlying Fund, and Contract Owners should not compare the two. We select the Underlying Funds offered through this Contract based on several criteria, including asset class coverage, the strength of the adviser's or sub-adviser'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 Underlying Fund's adviser or sub-adviser is one of our affiliates or whether the Underlying Fund, its adviser, its sub-adviser(s), or an affiliate will compensate us or our affiliates for providing certain administrative, marketing and other support services that would otherwise be provided by the Underlying Fund, the Underlying Fund's investment adviser, or its distributor. In some cases, we have included Underlying Funds based on recommendations made by broker-dealer firms. When we develop a variable product in cooperation with a fund family or distributor (e.g., a "private label" product), we will generally include Underlying Funds based on recommendations made by the fund family or distributor, whose selection criteria may differ from our selection criteria. We review the Underlying Funds periodically and may remove an Underlying Fund or limit its availability to new Purchase Payments and/or transfers of Contract Value if we determine that the Underlying Fund no longer meets one or more of the selection criteria, and/or if the Underlying Fund has not attracted significant allocations from owners. We do not provide investment advice and do not recommend or endorse any particular Underlying Fund. In certain circumstances, our ability to remove or replace an Underlying Fund may be limited by the terms of a five-year agreement between MetLife, Inc. ("MetLife") and Legg Mason, Inc. ("Legg Mason") relating to the use of certain Underlying Funds advised by Legg Mason affiliates. The agreement sets forth the conditions under which we can remove an Underlying Fund, which, in some cases, may differ from our selection criteria. In addition, during the term of the agreement, subject to our fiduciary and other legal duties, we are generally obligated in the first instance to consider Underlying Funds advised by Legg Mason affiliates in seeking to make a substitution for an Underlying Fund advised by a Legg Mason affiliate. The agreement was originally entered into on July 1, 2005 by MetLife and certain affiliates of Citigroup Inc. ("Citigroup") as part of MetLife's acquisition of The Travelers Insurance Company and The Travelers Life and Annuity Company from Citigroup. Legg Mason replaced the Citigroup affiliates as a party to the agreement when Citigroup sold its asset management business to Legg Mason. If investment in the Underlying Funds or a particular Underlying Fund is no longer possible, in our judgment becomes inappropriate for the purposes of the Contract, or for any other reason in our sole discretion, we 14
485BPOS268th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 268th
may substitute another Underlying Fund or Underlying Funds without your consent. The substituted Underlying Fund(s) 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 Underlying Funds to allocations of Purchase Payments or Contract Value, or both, at any time in our sole discretion. You will find detailed information about the Underlying Funds and their inherent risks in the current prospectuses for the Underlying Funds. Since each Variable Funding Option has varying degrees of risk, please read the prospectuses carefully before investing. There is no assurance that any of the Underlying Funds will meet its investment objectives. Contact your registered representative or call 1-800-842-9406 to request additional copies of the prospectuses. ADMINISTRATIVE, MARKETING AND SUPPORT SERVICE FEES. As described above, an investment adviser (other than our affiliates MetLife Advisers, LLC and Met Investors Advisory LLC) or sub-adviser of an Underlying Fund, or its affiliates, may compensate us and/or certain of our affiliates for administrative or other services relating to the Underlying Funds. The amount of this compensation is not deducted from Fund assets and does not decrease the Fund's investment return. The amount of the compensation is based on a percentage of assets of the Underlying Fund attributable to the Contracts and certain other variable insurance products that we and our affiliates issue. These percentages differ and some advisers or sub-advisers (or other affiliates) may pay us more than others. These percentages currently range up to 0.50%. Additionally, an investment adviser or sub-adviser of an Underlying Fund or its affiliates may provide us with wholesaling services that assist in the distribution of the Contracts and may pay the Company and/or certain of our affiliates amounts to participate in sales meetings. These amounts may be significant and may provide the adviser or sub-adviser (or their affiliate) with increased access to persons involved in the distribution of the Contracts. We and/or certain of our affiliated insurance companies are joint members of our affiliated investment advisers MetLife Advisers, LLC and Met Investors Advisory LLC, which are organized as "limited liability companies." Our membership interests entitle us to profit distributions if the adviser makes a profit with respect to the advisory fees it receives from the Underlying Funds. We may benefit accordingly from assets allocated to the Underlying Funds to the extent they result in profits to the advisers. (See "Fee Table--Underlying Fund Fees and Expenses" for information on the management fees paid by the Underlying Funds and the Statement of Additional Information for information on the management fees paid by the advisers to the sub-advisers.) Certain Underlying Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Distribution Plan is described in more detail in the Underlying Fund's prospectus. (See "Fee Table--Underlying Fund Fees and Expenses" and "Other Information--Distribution of Variable Annuity Contracts.") The payments are deducted from the assets of the Underlying Funds and are paid to our distributor, MLI Distribution LLC. These payments decrease the Funds' investment return. The agreement described above between MetLife and Legg Mason also obligates Legg Mason affiliates to continue on their current terms certain arrangements under which we receive payments in connection with our provision of administrative, marketing or other support services to the Underlying Funds advised or sub-advised by Legg Mason affiliates. Each Underlying Fund has different investment objectives and risks. The Underlying Fund prospectuses contain more detailed information on each Underlying Fund's investment strategy, investment adviser and fees. You may obtain an Underlying Fund prospectus by calling 1-800-842-9406 or through your registered representative. We do not guarantee the investment results of the Underlying Funds. The current Variable Funding Options are listed below, along with their investment advisers and any subadviser: 15

Money Market Portfolio BlackRock Money Market Portfolio FIXED ACCOUNT We offer our Fixed Account as a funding option. Please see Appendix C for more information. CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS GENERAL We deduct the charges described below. The charges are for the service and benefits we provide, costs and expenses we incur, and risks we assume under the Contracts. Services and benefits we provide include: - the ability for you to make withdrawals and surrenders under the Contracts - the death benefit paid on the death of the Contract Owner, Annuitant, or first of the joint owners - the available funding options and related programs (including dollar cost averaging, portfolio rebalancing, and systematic withdrawal programs) - administration of the annuity options available under the Contracts and - the distribution of various reports to Contract Owners 17
485BPOS271st Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 271st
Costs and expenses we incur include: - losses associated with various overhead and other expenses associated with providing the services and benefits provided by the Contracts - sales and marketing expenses including commission payments to your sales agent and - other costs of doing business Risks we assume include: - that Annuitants may live longer than estimated when the annuity factors under the Contracts were established - that the amount of the death benefit will be greater than the Contract Value and - that the costs of providing the services and benefits under the Contracts will exceed the charges deducted We may also deduct a charge for taxes. Unless otherwise specified, charges are deducted proportionately from all funding options in which you are invested. The amount of a charge may not necessarily correspond to the costs associated with providing the services or benefits indicated by the designated charge. For example, the withdrawal charge we collect may not fully cover all of the sales and distribution expenses we actually incur. The amount of any fee or charge is not impacted by an outstanding loan. We may also profit on one or more of the charges. We may use any such profits for any corporate purpose, including the payment of sales expenses. WITHDRAWAL CHARGE We do not deduct a sales charge from Purchase Payments when they are made to the Contract. However, a withdrawal charge will apply if Purchase Payments are withdrawn before they have been in the Contract for seven years. We will assess the charge as a percentage of the Purchase Payment withdrawn as follows: [Download Table] YEARS SINCE PURCHASE PAYMENT MADE WITHDRAWAL CHARGE --------------------------------- ----------------- GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO BUT LESS THAN ------------------------ ------------- 0 years 2 years 6% 2 years 4 years 5% 4 years 5 years 4% 5 years 6 years 3% 6 years 7 years 2% 7+ years 0% For purposes of the withdrawal charge calculation, withdrawals are deemed to be taken first from: (a) any Purchase Payment to which no withdrawal charge applies then (b) any remaining free withdrawal allowance (as described below) (after being reduced by (a)), then (c) any remaining Purchase Payment to which a withdrawal charge applies (on a first-in, first-out basis), then (d) any Contract earnings Unless you instruct us otherwise, we will deduct the withdrawal charge from the amount requested. We will not deduct a withdrawal charge if Purchase Payments are distributed: - due to the death of the Contract Owner or the Annuitant (with no Contingent Annuitant surviving) - if an annuity payout has begun - if an income option of at least five year's duration is begun - due to a minimum distribution under our minimum distribution rules then in effect 18
485BPOS272nd Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 272nd
FREE WITHDRAWAL ALLOWANCE Beginning in the second Contract Year, you may withdraw up to 10% of the Contract Value annually. We calculate the available withdrawal amount as of the end of the previous Contract Year. The free withdrawal provision applies to partial withdrawals only. Any withdrawal is subject to federal income taxes on the taxable portion. In addition, a 10% federal penalty may be assessed on any withdrawal if the Contract Owner is under age 59 1/2. You should consult with your tax adviser regarding the tax consequences of a withdrawal. ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES There are two administrative charges: the $30 annual Contract administrative charge and the administrative expense charge. We will deduct the annual Contract administrative charge on the fourth Friday of each August. This charge compensates us for expenses incurred in establishing and maintaining the Contract and we will prorate this charge (i.e. calculate) from the date of purchase. We will also prorate this charge if you surrender your Contract, or if we terminate your Contract. We will not deduct a Contract administrative charge from the Fixed Account or: (1) from the distribution of death proceeds (2) after an annuity payout has begun or (3) if the Contract Value on the date of assessment equals or is greater than $40,000 We deduct the administrative expense charge (sometimes called "Subaccount administrative charge") on each business day from amounts allocated to the Variable Funding Options to compensate the Company for certain related administrative and operating expenses. The charge equals, on an annual basis, 0.15% of the daily net asset value allocated to each of the Variable Funding Options, and is reflected in our accumulation and Annuity Unit value calculations. MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE Each business day, we deduct a mortality and expense risk ("M&E") charge from amounts we hold in the Variable Funding Options. We reflect the deduction in our calculation of accumulation and Annuity Unit values. The charges stated are the maximum for this product, and is equal to 1.25% annually. We reserve the right to lower this charge at any time. This charge compensates the Company for risks assumed, benefits provided and expenses incurred, including the payment of commissions to your sales agent. VARIABLE LIQUIDITY BENEFIT CHARGE If the Variable Liquidity Benefit is selected, there is a maximum charge of 6% of the amounts withdrawn. This charge is not assessed during the accumulation phase. We will assess the charge as a percentage of the total benefit received as follows: [Download Table] YEARS SINCE INITIAL PURCHASE PAYMENT ------------------------------------ GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO BUT LESS THAN WITHDRAWAL CHARGE ------------------------ ------------- ----------------- 0 years 2 years 6% 2 years 4 years 5% 4 years 5 years 4% 5 years 6 years 3% 6 years 7 years 2% 7+ years 0% Please refer to Payment Options for a description of this benefit. ENHANCED STEPPED-UP PROVISION CHARGE If the E.S.P. option is selected, a charge is deducted each business day from amounts held in the Variable Funding Options. The charge equals, on an annual basis, 0.20% of the amounts held in each funding option. The E.S.P. option is available if the owner and Annuitant are both under age 76 on the Contract Date. 19

VARIABLE FUNDING OPTION EXPENSES We summarized the charges and expenses of the Underlying Funds in the fee table. Please review the prospectus for each Underlying Fund for a more complete description of that fund and its expenses. Underlying Fund expenses are not fixed or guaranteed and are subject to change by the Fund. PREMIUM TAX Certain state and local governments charge premium taxes ranging from 0% to 3.5%, depending upon jurisdiction. We are responsible for paying these taxes and will determine the method used to recover premium tax expenses incurred. We will deduct any applicable premium taxes from your Contract Value either upon death, surrender, annuitization, or at the time you make Purchase Payments to the Contract, but no earlier than when we have a tax liability under state law. CHANGES IN TAXES BASED UPON PREMIUM OR VALUE If there is any change in a law assessing taxes against the Company based upon premiums, Contract gains or value of the Contract, we reserve the right to charge you proportionately for this tax. TRANSFERS Subject to the limitations described below, you may transfer all or part of your Contract Value between Variable Funding Options at any time up to 30 days before the Maturity Date. After the Maturity Date, you may make transfers only if allowed by your Contract or with our consent. Transfer requests received at our Home Office that are in good order before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) will be processed according to the value(s) next computed following the close of business. Transfer requests received on a non-business day or after the close of the NYSE will be processed based on the value(s) next computed on the next business day. Where permitted by state law, we reserve the right to restrict transfers from the Variable Funding Options to the Fixed Account whenever the credited interest rate on the Fixed Account is equal to the minimum guaranteed interest rate specified under the Contract. Since each Underlying Fund may have different overall expenses, a transfer of Contract Values from one Variable Funding Option to another could result in your investment becoming subject to higher or lower expenses. Also, when making transfers, you should consider the inherent risks associated with the Variable Funding Options to which your Contract Value is allocated. MARKET TIMING/EXCESSIVE TRADING Frequent requests from Contract Owners to transfer Contract Value may dilute the value of an Underlying Fund'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 Underlying Fund and the reflection of that change in the Underlying Fund's share price ("arbitrage trading"). Regardless of the existence of pricing inefficiencies, frequent transfers may also increase brokerage and administrative costs of the Underlying Funds and may disrupt management strategy, requiring an Underlying Fund to maintain a high cash position and possibly resulting in lost investment opportunities and forced liquidations ("disruptive trading"). Accordingly, arbitrage trading and disruptive trading activities (referred to collectively as "market timing") may adversely affect the long-term performance of the Underlying Funds, 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 Underlying Funds, i.e., the Janus Aspen Series Worldwide Growth Portfolio, Legg Mason Partners Variable High Yield Bond Portfolio, Legg Mason Partners Variable Small Cap Growth Portfolio, Legg Mason Partners Variable Strategic Bond Portfolio, Universal Institutional Funds Emerging Markets Equity Portfolio and Universal Institutional Funds Global Value Equity Portfolio (the "Monitored Portfolios"), and we monitor transfer activity in those 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 of the 20
485BPOS274th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 274th
Monitored Portfolios, in a three-month period there were two or more "round-trips" of a certain dollar amount or greater. A round-trip is defined as a transfer in followed by a transfer out within the next 10 calendar days, or a transfer out followed by a transfer in within the next 10 calendar days. In the case of a Contract that has been restricted previously, a single round-trip of a certain dollar amount or greater will trigger the transfer restrictions described below. We do not believe that other Underlying Funds present a significant opportunity to engage in arbitrage trading and therefore do not monitor transfer activity in those Underlying Funds. We may change the Monitored Portfolios at any time without notice in our sole discretion. In addition to monitoring transfer activity in certain Underlying Funds, we rely on the Underlying Funds to bring any potential disruptive trading activity they identify to our attention for investigation on a case-by-case basis. We will also investigate other harmful transfer activity that we identify from time to time. We may revise these policies and procedures in our sole discretion at any time without prior notice. Our policies and procedures may result in transfer restrictions being applied to deter market timing. Currently, when we detect transfer activity in the Monitored Portfolios that exceeds our current transfer limits, or other transfer activity that we believe may be harmful to other Owners or other persons who have an interest in the Contracts, we will exercise our contractual right to restrict your number of transfers to one every six months. In addition, we also reserve the right, but do not have the obligation, to further restrict the right to request transfers by any market timing firm or any other third party who has been authorized to initiate transfers on behalf of multiple Contract Owners. We may, among other things: - reject the transfer instructions of any agent acting under a power of attorney on behalf of more than one Owner, or - reject the transfer or exchange instructions of individual Owners who have executed pre-authorized transfer forms which are submitted by market timing firms or other third parties on behalf of more than one Owner. 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 evaluate trading patterns for market timing. The detection and deterrence of harmful transfer activity involves judgments that are inherently subjective, such as the decision to monitor only those Underlying Funds 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 market timing in any Underlying Fund and there are no arrangements in place to permit any Contract Owner to engage in market timing; we apply our policies and procedures without exception, waiver, or special arrangement. The Underlying Funds may have adopted their own policies and procedures with respect to frequent purchases and redemptions of their respective shares, and we reserve the right to enforce these policies and procedures. For example, Underlying Funds may assess a redemption fee (which we reserve the right to collect) on shares held for a relatively short period. The prospectuses for the Underlying Funds describe any such policies and procedures, which may be more or less restrictive than the policies and procedures we have adopted. Contract Owners and other persons with interests in the Contracts should be aware that we currently may not have the contractual obligation or the operational capacity to apply the frequent trading policies and procedures of the Underlying Funds. However, under rules recently adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, effective October 16, 2006 we will be required to (1) enter into a written agreement with each Underlying Fund or its principal underwriter that will obligate us to provide to the Underlying Fund promptly upon request, certain information about trading activity of individual Contract Owners, and (2) execute instructions from the Underlying Funds to restrict or prohibit further Purchase Payments or transfers by specific Contract Owners who violate the frequent trading policies established by the Underlying Fund. In addition, Contract Owners and other persons with interests in the Contracts should be aware that some Underlying Funds may receive "omnibus" purchase and redemption orders from other insurance companies or intermediaries such as retirement plans. 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 Underlying Funds in their ability to apply their frequent trading policies and 21
485BPOS275th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 275th
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 Underlying Funds (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 Underlying Funds. 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 Underlying Funds, including any refusal or restriction on purchases or redemptions of their shares as a result of their own policies and procedures on market timing activities (even if an entire omnibus order is rejected due to the market timing activity of a single Contract Owner). You should read the Underlying Fund prospectuses for more details. DOLLAR COST AVERAGING Dollar cost averaging or the pre-authorized transfer program (the "DCA Program") allows you to transfer a set dollar amount to other funding options on a monthly or quarterly basis during the accumulation phase of the Contract. Using this method, you will purchase more Accumulation Units in a funding option if the value per unit is low and will purchase fewer Accumulation Units if the value per unit is high. Therefore, you may achieve a lower-than-average cost per unit in the long run if you have the financial ability to continue the program over a long enough period of time. Dollar cost averaging does not assure a profit or protect against a loss. You may elect the DCA Program through Written Request or other method acceptable to us. You must have a minimum total Contract Value of $5,000 to enroll in the DCA Program. The minimum amount that may be transferred through this program is $400. There is no additional fee to participate in the DCA Program. You may establish pre-authorized transfers of Contract Values from the Fixed Account, subject to certain restrictions. Under the DCA Program, automated transfers from the Fixed Account may not deplete your Fixed Account Value in less than twelve months from your enrollment in the DCA Program. In addition to the DCA Program, within the Fixed Account, we may credit increased interest rates to Contract Owners under an administrative Special DCA Program established at our discretion, depending on availability and state law. Under this program, the Contract Owner may pre-authorize level transfers to any of the funding options under a 6 Month, 12 Month or 24 Month Program. The Programs will generally have different credited interest rates. Under each Program, the interest rate can accrue up to the applicable number of months on the remaining amounts in the Special DCA Program and we must transfer all Purchase Payments and accrued interest on a level basis to the selected funding options in the applicable time period. For example, under the 12 Month Program, the interest rate can accrue up to 12 months on the remaining amounts in the Special DCA Program and we must transfer all Purchase Payments and accrued interest in this Program on a level basis to the selected funding options in 12 months. The pre-authorized transfers will begin after the initial Program Purchase Payment and complete enrollment instructions are received by the Company. If we do not receive complete Program enrollment instructions within 15 days of receipt of the initial Program Purchase Payment, the entire balance in the Program will be credited with the non-Program interest rate then in effect for the Fixed Account. You may start or stop participation in the DCA Program at any time, but you must give the Company at least 30 days' notice to change any automated transfer instructions that are currently in place. If you stop the Special DCA Program and elect to remain in the Fixed Account, we will credit your Contract Value for the remainder of 6 or 12 months with the interest rate for non-Program funds. You may only have one DCA Program or Special DCA Program in place at one time. We will allocate any subsequent Purchase Payments we receive within the Program period selected to the current funding options over the remainder of that Program transfer period, unless you direct otherwise. All provisions and terms of the Contract apply to the DCA and Special DCA Programs, including provisions relating to the transfer of money between funding options. Transfers made under any DCA Program will not be counted for purposes of restrictions we may impose on the number of transfers permitted under the Contract. We reserve the right to suspend or modify transfer privileges at any time and to assess a processing fee for this service. 22
485BPOS276th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 276th
ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY Any time before the Maturity Date, you may redeem all or any portion of the Cash Surrender Value, that is, the Contract Value less any withdrawal charge, outstanding loans, and any premium tax not previously deducted. Unless you submit a Written Request specifying the fixed or Variable Funding Option(s) from which we are to withdraw amounts, we will make the withdrawal on a pro rata basis. We will determine the Cash Surrender Value as of the close of business after we receive your surrender request at our Home Office. The Cash Surrender Value may be more or less than the Purchase Payments you made. You may not make withdrawals during the annuity period. For amounts allocated to the Variable Funding Options, we may defer payment of any Cash Surrender Value for a period of up to five business days after the Written Request is received. For amounts allocated to the Fixed Account, we may defer payment of any Cash Surrender Value for a period up to six months. In either case, it is our intent to pay as soon as possible. We cannot process requests for withdrawals that are not in good order. We will contact you if there is a deficiency causing a delay and will advise what is needed to act upon the withdrawal request. If your Contract is issued as part of a 403(b) plan, there are restrictions on your ability to make withdrawals from your Contract. You may not withdraw contributions or earnings made to your Contract after December 31, 1988 unless you are (a) age 59 1/2, (b) no longer employed, (c) deceased, (d) disabled, or (e) experiencing a financial hardship. Even if you are experiencing a financial hardship, you may only withdraw contributions, not earnings. You should consult with your tax adviser before making a withdrawal from your Contract. SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWALS Before the Maturity Date, you may choose to withdraw a specified dollar amount (at least $100) on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis. We will deduct any applicable premium taxes and withdrawal charge. To elect systematic withdrawals, you must have a Contract Value of at least $15,000 and you must make the election on the form we provide. We will surrender Accumulation Units pro rata from all funding options in which you have an interest, unless you instruct us otherwise. You may begin or discontinue systematic withdrawals at any time by notifying us in writing, but you must give at least 30 days' notice to change any systematic withdrawal instructions that are currently in place. We reserve the right to discontinue offering systematic withdrawals or to assess a processing fee for this service upon 30 days' written notice to Contract Owners (where allowed by state law). Each systematic withdrawal is subject to federal income taxes on the taxable portion. In addition, a 10% federal penalty tax may be assessed on systematic withdrawals if the Contract Owner is under age 59 1/2. There is no additional fee for electing systematic withdrawals. You should consult with your tax adviser regarding the tax consequences of systematic withdrawals. LOANS Loans may be available under your Contract. Loans may only be taken against funds allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account. If available, all loan provisions are described in your Contract or loan agreement. OWNERSHIP PROVISIONS TYPES OF OWNERSHIP CONTRACT OWNER The Contract belongs to the Contract Owner named in the Contract (on the Contract Specifications page), or to any other person to whom you subsequently assign the Contract. You may only make an assignment of ownership or a collateral assignment for Non-qualified Contracts. You have sole power during the Annuitant's lifetime to exercise any rights and to receive all benefits given in the Contract provided you have not named an irrevocable beneficiary and provided you have not assigned the Contract. 23
485BPOS277th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 277th
You receive all payments while the Annuitant is alive unless you direct them to an alternate recipient. An alternate recipient does not become the Contract Owner. If this Contract is purchased by a beneficiary of another contract who directly transferred the death proceeds due under that contract, he/she will be granted the same rights the owner has under the Contract except that he/she cannot transfer ownership, take a loan or make additional Purchase Payments. Joint Owner. For Non-qualified Contracts only, you may name joint owners (e.g., spouses) in a Written Request before the Contract is in effect. Joint owners may independently exercise transfers allowed under the Contract. All other rights of ownership must be exercised by both owners. Joint owners own equal shares of any benefits accruing or payments made to them. BENEFICIARY You name the beneficiary in a Written Request. The beneficiary has the right to receive any death benefit proceeds remaining under the Contract upon the death of the Annuitant or the Contract Owner. If more than one beneficiary survives the Annuitant or Contract Owner, they will share equally in benefits unless you recorded different shares with the Company by Written Request before the death of the Annuitant or Contract Owner. In the case of a non-spousal beneficiary or a spousal beneficiary who has not chosen to assume the Contract, we will not transfer or otherwise remove the death benefit proceeds from either the Variable Funding Options or the Fixed Account, as most recently elected by the Contract Owner, until the Death Report Date. Unless you have named an irrevocable beneficiary you have the right to change any beneficiary by Written Request during the lifetime of the Annuitant and while the Contract continues. ANNUITANT The Annuitant is designated in the Contract (on the Contract Specifications page), and is the individual on whose life the Maturity Date and the amount of the monthly Annuity Payments depend. You may not change the Annuitant after your Contract is in effect. Contingent Annuitant. You may name one individual as a Contingent Annuitant. A Contingent Annuitant may not be changed, deleted or added to the Contract after the Contract Date. If the Annuitant who is not the owner dies prior to the Maturity Date, and the Contingent Annuitant is still living: - the death benefit will not be payable upon the Annuitant's death - the Contingent Annuitant becomes the Annuitant and - all other rights and benefits will continue in effect When a Contingent Annuitant becomes the Annuitant, the Maturity Date remains the same as previously in effect. If the Annuitant is also the owner, a death benefit is paid to the beneficiary regardless of whether or not there is a Contingent Annuitant. DEATH BENEFIT Before the Maturity Date, generally, a death benefit is payable when either the Annuitant or a Contract Owner dies. We calculate the death benefit at the close of the business day on which our Home Office receives (1) Due Proof of Death and (2) written payment instructions or election of spousal contract continuance or beneficiary contract continuance ("Death Report Date"). Note: If the owner dies before the Annuitant, the death benefit is recalculated, replacing all references to "Annuitant" with "owner." 24
485BPOS278th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 278th
DEATH PROCEEDS BEFORE THE MATURITY DATE IF THE ANNUITANT OR AN OWNER IS YOUNGER THAN AGE 80 ON THE CONTRACT DATE: We will pay to the beneficiary a death benefit in an amount equal to the greatest of (1), (2) or (3) below, each reduced by any applicable premium tax or outstanding loans: (1) the Contract Value on the Death Report Date (2) the total Purchase Payments made under the Contract less the total of any withdrawals or (3) the step-up value (if any, as described below) STEP-UP VALUE. We will establish a step-up value on each Contract Date anniversary that occurs on or prior to the Death Report Date. The step-up value will initially equal the Contract Value on that anniversary. When you make an additional Purchase Payment, we will increase the step-up value by the amount of that Purchase Payment. When you make a withdrawal, we will reduce the step-up value by a partial surrender reduction as described below. On each Contract anniversary before the Annuitant's 80th birthday and before the Annuitant's death, if the Contract Value is greater than the step-up value, we will reset the step-up value to equal that greater amount. We will not reduce the step-up value on these anniversary recalculations (provided no withdrawals or surrenders are made on that day). The only changes we will make to the step-up value on or after the Annuitant's 80th birthday will be those related to additional Purchase Payments or withdrawals. PARTIAL SURRENDER REDUCTIONS. If you make a withdrawal, we will reduce the step-up value by a partial surrender reduction that equals (1) the step-up value prior to the withdrawal, multiplied by (2) the amount of the withdrawal, divided by (3) the Contract Value before the withdrawal. For example, assume your current Contract Value is $55,000. If your current step-up value is $50,000, and you decide to make a withdrawal of $10,000, we would reduce the step-up value as follows: $50,000 x ($10,000/$55,000) = $9,090 Your new step-up value would be $50,000 - $9,090, or $40,910. The following example shows what would happen in a declining market. Assume your current Contract Value is $30,000. If your current step-up value is $50,000, and you decide to make a withdrawal of $10,000, we would reduce the step-up value as follows: $50,000 x ($10,000/$30,000) = $16,666 Your new step-up value would be $50,000 - $16,666, or $33,334. IF THE ANNUITANT OR AN OWNER IS AGE 80 OR OLDER ON THE CONTRACT DATE: We will pay to the beneficiary a death benefit in an amount equal to the greater of (1) or (2) below, each reduced by any applicable premium tax or outstanding loans not previously deducted: (1) the Contract Value on the Death Report Date or (2) the total Purchase Payments made under the Contract less the total of any withdrawals ENHANCED STEPPED-UP PROVISION ("E.S.P.") THIS PROVISION IS NOT AVAILABLE TO A CUSTOMER WHEN EITHER THE ANNUITANT OR OWNER IS AGE 76 OR OLDER ON THE RIDER EFFECTIVE DATE. The rider effective date is the date the rider is attached to and made a part of the Contract. If you have selected the E.S.P., the total death benefit as of the Death Report Date will equal the death benefit described above plus the greater of zero or the following amount: IF THE ANNUITANT IS YOUNGER THAN AGE 70 ON THE RIDER EFFECTIVE DATE, 40% OF THE LESSER OF: (1) 200% of the modified Purchase Payments excluding Purchase Payments that are both received after the first rider effective date anniversary and within 12 months of the Death Report Date, or (2) your Contract Value minus the modified Purchase Payments, calculated as of the Death Report Date; or IF THE ANNUITANT IS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 70 AND 75 ON THE RIDER EFFECTIVE DATE, 25% OF THE LESSER OF: (1) 200% of the modified Purchase Payments excluding Purchase Payments that are both received after the first 25
485BPOS279th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 279th
rider effective date anniversary and within 12 months of the Death Report Date, or (2) your Contract Value minus the modified Purchase Payments, calculated as of the Death Report Date. THE INITIAL MODIFIED PURCHASE PAYMENT IS EQUAL TO THE CONTRACT VALUE AS OF THE RIDER EFFECTIVE DATE. Whenever a Purchase Payment is made after the rider effective date, the modified Purchase Payment(s) are increased by the amount of the Purchase Payment. Whenever a partial surrender is taken after the rider effective date, the modified Purchase Payment(s) are reduced by a partial surrender reduction as described below. THE PARTIAL SURRENDER REDUCTION IS EQUAL TO: (1) the modified Purchase Payment(s) in effect immediately prior to the reduction for the partial surrender, multiplied by (2) the amount of the partial surrender divided by (3) the Contract Value immediately prior to the partial surrender. For example, assume your current modified Purchase Payment is $50,000 and that your current Contract Value is $55,000. You decide to make a withdrawal of $10,000. We would reduce the modified Purchase Payment as follows: $50,000 x ($10,000/$55,000) = $9,090 Your new modified Purchase Payment would be $50,000 - $9,090 = $40,910. The following example shows what would happen in a declining market. Assume your current Contract Value is $30,000. If your current modified Purchase Payment is $50,000 and you decide to make a withdrawal of $10,000, we would reduce the modified Purchase Payment as follows: $50,000 x ($10,000/$30,000) = $16,666 Your new modified Purchase Payment would be $50,000 - $16,666 = $33,334. 26

PAYMENT OF PROCEEDS We describe the process of paying death benefit proceeds before the Maturity Date in the charts below. The charts do not encompass every situation and are merely intended as a general guide. More detailed information is provided in your Contract. Generally, the person(s) receiving the benefit may request that the proceeds be paid in a lump sum, or be applied to one of the settlement options available under the Contract.

APPLY* ------------------------------ ------------------------ ------------------------------- --------------- OWNER/ANNUITANT The beneficiary (ies), Unless the beneficiary elects Yes or if none, to the to continue the Contract rather Contract Owner's estate. than receive a distribution. BENEFICIARY No death proceeds are N/A payable; Contract continues. CONTINGENT BENEFICIARY No death proceeds are N/A payable; Contract continues. -------------- * Certain payout rules of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) are triggered upon the death of any Owner. Non-spousal beneficiaries (as well as spousal beneficiaries who choose not to assume the Contract) must begin taking distributions based on the beneficiary's life expectancy within one year of death or take a complete distribution of Contract proceeds within 5 years of death. For Qualified Contracts, if mandatory distributions have begun at the death of the Annuitant, the 5 year payout option is not available. BENEFICIARY CONTRACT CONTINUANCE (NOT PERMITTED FOR NON-NATURAL BENEFICIARIES) If you die before the Maturity Date, and if the value of any beneficiary's portion of the death benefit is between $20,000 and $1,000,000 as of the Death Report Date, (more than $1,000,000 is subject to Home Office approval), your beneficiary(s) may elect to continue his/her portion of the Contract subject to applicable Internal Revenue Code distribution requirements, rather than receive the death benefit in a lump sum. If the beneficiary chooses to continue the Contract, the beneficiary can extend the payout phase of the Contract enabling the beneficiary to "stretch" the death benefit distributions out over his life expectancy as permitted by the Internal Revenue Code. If your beneficiary elects to continue the Contract, the death benefit will be calculated as of the Death Report Date. The initial Contract Value of the continued Contract (the "adjusted Contract Value") will equal the greater of the Contract Value or the death benefit calculated on the Death Report Date and will be allocated to the funding options in the same proportion as prior to the Death Report Date. If the adjusted Contract Value is allocated to the Variable Funding Options, the beneficiary bears the investment risk. The beneficiary who continues the Contract will be granted the same rights as the owner under the original Contract, except the beneficiary cannot: - transfer ownership - take a loan or - make additional Purchase Payments. The beneficiary may also name his/her own beneficiary ("succeeding beneficiary") and has the right to take withdrawals at any time after the Death Report Date without a withdrawal charge. All other fees and charges applicable to the original Contract will also apply to the continued Contract. The E.S.P. option is not available to a beneficiary who has continued the Contract under this provision. All benefits and features of the continued Contract will be based on the beneficiary's age on the Death Report Date as if the beneficiary had purchased the Contract with the adjusted Contract Value on the Death Report Date. 28

PLANNED DEATH BENEFIT You may request that rather than receive a lump-sum death benefit, the beneficiary(ies) receive all or a portion of the death benefit proceeds either: - through an annuity for life or a period that does not exceed the beneficiary's life expectancy or - under the terms of the Beneficiary Continuance provision described above. If the Beneficiary Continuance provision is selected as a planned death benefit, no surrenders will be allowed other than payments meant to satisfy minimum distribution amounts or systematic withdrawal amounts, if greater. You must make the planned death benefit request as well as any revocation of this request in writing. Upon your death, your beneficiary(s) cannot revoke or modify this request. If the death benefit at the time we receive Due Proof of Death is less than $2,000, we will only pay a lump sum to the beneficiary. If periodic payments due under the planned death benefit election are less than $100, we reserve the right to make Annuity Payments at less frequent intervals, resulting in a payment of at least $100 per year. If no beneficiary is alive when death benefits become payable, we will pay the death benefit as provided in your Contract. DEATH PROCEEDS AFTER THE MATURITY DATE If any Contract Owner or the Annuitant dies on or after the Maturity Date, the Company will pay the beneficiary a death benefit consisting of any benefit remaining under the annuity or income option then in effect. THE ANNUITY PERIOD MATURITY DATE Under the Contract, you can receive regular payments ("Annuity Payments"). You can choose the month and the year in which those payments begin ("Maturity Date"). You can also choose among income payouts (annuity or income options) or elect a lump sum distribution. While the Annuitant is alive, you can change your selection any time up to the Maturity Date. Annuity or income payments will begin on the Maturity Date stated in the Contract unless (1) you fully surrendered the Contract; (2) we paid the proceeds to the beneficiary before that date; or (3) you elected another date. Annuity payments are a series of periodic payments (a) for life; (b) for life with a minimum number of payments; or (c) for the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and another person, and thereafter during the lifetime of the survivor. Income payments are for a fixed period or amount. We may require proof that the Annuitant is alive before we make Annuity Payments. Not all options may be available in all states. You may choose to annuitize at any time after the first Contract Date anniversary. Unless you elect otherwise, the Maturity Date will be the Annuitant's 70th birthday for Qualified Contracts and the Annuitant's 75th birthday for Non-qualified Contracts or ten years after the effective date of the Contract, if later (this requirement may be changed by us). At least 30 days before the original Maturity Date, you may elect to extend the Maturity Date to any time prior to the Annuitant's 85th birthday for Non-qualified Contracts or, for Qualified Contracts, to a later date with our consent. You may use certain annuity options taken at the Maturity Date to meet the minimum required distribution requirements of federal tax law, or you may use a program of withdrawals instead. These mandatory distribution requirements take effect generally upon the death of the Contract Owner, or with certain Qualified Contracts upon either the later of the Contract Owner's attainment of age 70-1/2 or year of retirement; or the death of the Contract Owner. You should seek independent tax advice regarding the election of minimum required distributions. 29

ALLOCATION OF ANNUITY You may elect to receive your Annuity Payments in the form of a variable annuity, a fixed annuity, or a combination of both. If, at the time Annuity Payments begin, you have not made an election, we will apply your Cash Surrender Value to provide an annuity funded by the same funding options as you have selected during the accumulation period. At least 30 days before the Maturity Date, you may transfer the Contract Value among the funding options in order to change the basis on which we will determine Annuity Payments. (See "Transfers.) VARIABLE ANNUITY You may choose an annuity payout that fluctuates depending on the investment experience of the Variable Funding Options. We determine the number of Annuity Units credited to the Contract by dividing the first monthly annuity payment attributable to each Variable Funding Option by the corresponding Accumulation Unit value as of 14 days before the date Annuity Payments begin. We use an Annuity Unit to measure the dollar value of an annuity payment. The number of Annuity Units (but not their value) remains fixed during the annuity period. DETERMINATION OF FIRST ANNUITY PAYMENT. Your Contract contains the tables we use to determine your first monthly annuity payment. If you elect a variable annuity, the amount we apply to it will be the Cash Surrender Value as of 14 days before the date Annuity Payments begin, less any applicable premium taxes not previously deducted. The amount of your first monthly payment depends on the annuity option you elected and the Annuitant's adjusted age. Your Contract contains the formula for determining the adjusted age. We determine the total first monthly annuity payment by multiplying the benefit per $1,000 of value shown in the Contract tables by the number of thousands of dollars of Contract Value you apply to that annuity option. The Contract tables factor in an assumed daily net investment factor of 3%. We call this your net investment rate. Your net investment rate of 3% corresponds to an annual interest rate of 3%. This means that if the annualized investment performance, after expenses, of your Variable Funding Options is less than 3%, then the dollar amount of your variable Annuity Payments will decrease. However, if the annualized investment performance, after expenses, of your Variable Funding Options is greater than 3%, then the dollar amount of your variable Annuity Payments will increase. DETERMINATION OF SECOND AND SUBSEQUENT ANNUITY PAYMENTS. The dollar amount of all subsequent Annuity Payments changes from month to month based on the investment experience, as described above, of the applicable funding options. The total amount of each annuity payment will equal the sum of the basic payments in each funding option. We determine the actual amounts of these payments by multiplying the number of Annuity Units we credited to each funding option by the corresponding Annuity Unit value as of the date 14 days before the date the payment is due. FIXED ANNUITY You may choose a fixed annuity that provides payments that do not vary during the annuity period. We will calculate the dollar amount of the first fixed annuity payment as described under Variable Annuity, except that the amount we apply to begin the annuity will be your Cash Surrender Value as of the date Annuity Payments begin. Payout rates will not be lower than that shown in the Contract. If it would produce a larger payment, the first fixed Annuity Payment will be determined using the Life Annuity Tables in effect on the Maturity Date. PAYMENT OPTIONS ELECTION OF OPTIONS While the Annuitant is alive, you can change your annuity or income option selection any time up to the Maturity Date. Once annuity or income payments have begun, no further elections are allowed. During the Annuitant's lifetime, if you do not elect otherwise before the Maturity Date, we will pay you (or another designated payee) the first of a series of monthly annuity or income payments based on the life of the Annuitant, in accordance with Annuity Option 2 (Life Annuity with 120 monthly payments assured). For 30
485BPOS284th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 284th
certain Qualified Contracts, Annuity Option 4 (Joint and Last Survivor Life Annuity -- Annuity Reduced on Death of Primary Payee) will be the automatic option as described in the Contract. The minimum amount that can be placed under an annuity or income option will be $2,000 unless we agree to a lesser amount. If any monthly periodic payment due is less than $100, the Company reserves the right to make payments at less frequent intervals, or to pay the Contract Value in a lump-sum. On the Maturity Date, we will pay the amount due under the Contract in accordance with the Payment Option that you select. You may choose to receive a single lump-sum payment. You must elect an option in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company. Any election made during the lifetime of the Annuitant must be made by the Contract Owner. ANNUITY OPTIONS Subject to the conditions described in "Election of Options" above, we may pay all or any part of the Cash Surrender Value under one or more of the following annuity options. Payments under the annuity options are generally made on a monthly basis. We may offer additional options. Option 1 -- Life Annuity -- No Refund. The Company will make Annuity Payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant ending with the last payment before death. This option offers the maximum periodic payment, since there is no assurance of a minimum number of payments or provision for a death benefit for beneficiaries. Option 2 -- Life Annuity with 120, 180 or 240 Monthly Payments Assured. The Company will make monthly Annuity Payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant, with the agreement that if, at the death of that person, payments have been made for less than 120, 180 or 240 months, as elected, we will continue making payments to the beneficiary during the remainder of the period. Option 3 -- Joint and Last Survivor Life Annuity -- No Refund. The Company will make regular Annuity Payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant and a second person. When either person dies, we will continue making payments to the survivor. No further payments will be made following the death of the survivor. Option 4 -- Joint and Last Survivor Life Annuity -- Annuity Reduced on Death of Primary Payee. The Company will make Annuity Payments during the lifetimes of the Annuitant and a second person. You will designate one as primary payee, and the other will be designated as secondary payee. On the death of the secondary payee, the Company will continue to make monthly Annuity Payments to the primary payee in the same amount that would have been payable during the joint lifetime of the two persons. On the death of the primary payee, the Company will continue to make Annuity Payments to the secondary payee in an amount equal to 50% of the payments, which would have been made during the lifetime of the primary payee. No further payments will be made once both payees have died. Option 5 -- Other Annuity Options. The Company will make any other arrangements for Annuity Payments as may be mutually agreed upon. INCOME OPTIONS Instead of one of the annuity options described above, and subject to the conditions described under "Election of Options," all or part of the Contract's Cash Surrender Value (or, if required by state law, Contract Value) may be paid under one or more of the following income options, provided that they are consistent with federal tax law qualification requirements. Payments under the income options may be elected on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis: Option 1 -- Payments of a Fixed Amount. We will make equal payments of the amount elected until the Cash Surrender Value applied under this option has been exhausted. We will pay the first payment and all later payments from each funding option or the Fixed Account in proportion to the Cash Surrender Value attributable to each funding option and/or Fixed Account. The final payment will include any amount insufficient to make another full payment. Option 2 -- Payments for a Fixed Period. We will make payments for the period selected. The amount of each payment will be equal to the remaining Cash Surrender Value applied under this option divided by the number of remaining payments. 31
485BPOS285th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 285th
Option 3 -- Other Income Options. We will make any other arrangements for income options as may be mutually agreed upon. VARIABLE LIQUIDITY BENEFIT This benefit is only offered with the income option "Payments for a Fixed Period." At any time after annuitization and before death, the Contract Owner may surrender and receive a payment equal to (A) minus (B), where (A) equals the present value of remaining certain payments, and (B) equals a withdrawal charge not to exceed the maximum withdrawal charge rate shown on the specifications page of the Contract multiplied by (A). The interest rate used to calculate the present value is a rate 1% higher than the Assumed (Daily) Net Investment Factor used to calculate the Annuity Payments. The remaining period certain payments are assumed to be level payments equal to the most recent period certain payment prior to the request for this liquidity benefit. A withdrawal charge is not imposed if the surrender is made after the expiration of the withdrawal charge period shown on the specifications page of the Contract. MISCELLANEOUS CONTRACT PROVISIONS RIGHT TO RETURN You may return the Contract for a full refund of the Contract Value plus any Contract charges and premium taxes you paid (but not any fees and charges the Underlying Fund assessed) within twenty days after you receive it (the "right to return period"). You bear the investment risk of investing in the Variable Funding Options during the right to return period; therefore, the Contract Value we return may be greater or less than your Purchase Payment. If you purchase the Contract as an Individual Retirement Annuity, and return it within the first seven days after delivery, or longer if your state law permits, we will refund your Purchase Payment in full; during the remainder of the right to return period, we will refund the Contract Value (including charges). We will determine the Contract Value following the close of the business day on which we receive your Contract and a Written Request for a refund. Where state law requires a different period, or the return of Purchase Payments or other variations of this provision, we will comply. Refer to your Contract for any state-specific information. TERMINATION We reserve the right to terminate the Contract on any business day if your Contract Value as of that date is less than $1,000 and you have not made Purchase Payments for at least two years, unless otherwise specified by state law. Termination will not occur until 31 days after we have mailed notice of termination to your last known address and to any assignee of record. If we terminate the Contract, we will pay you the Cash Surrender Value less any applicable taxes. In certain states we may be required to pay you the Contract value. REQUIRED REPORTS As often as required by law, but at least once in each Contract Year before the due date of the first annuity payment, we will furnish a report showing the number of Accumulation Units credited to the Contract and the corresponding Accumulation Unit value(s) as of the report date for each funding option to which the Contract Owner has allocated amounts during the applicable period. The Company will keep all records required under federal and state laws. SUSPENSION OF PAYMENTS The Company reserves the right to suspend or postpone the date of any payment or determination of values on any business day (1) when the New York Stock Exchange ("the Exchange") is closed; (2) when trading on the Exchange is restricted; (3) when an emergency exists, as determined by the SEC, so that the sale of securities held in the Separate Account may not reasonably occur, or so that the Company may not reasonably determine the value the Separate Account's net assets; or (4) during any other period when the 32
485BPOS286th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 286th
SEC, by order, so permits for the protection of security holders. Payments from the Fixed Account may be delayed up to 6 months. THE SEPARATE ACCOUNTS MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and MetLife Life and Annuity Company of Connecticut each sponsor Separate Accounts: Fund ABD and Fund ABD II, respectively. References to "Separate Account" refer either to Fund ABD or Fund ABD II, depending on the issuer of your Contract. Both Fund ABD and Fund ABD II were established on October 17, 1995 and are registered with the SEC as unit investment trusts under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. We will invest Separate Account assets attributable to the Contracts exclusively in the shares of the Variable Funding Options. We hold the assets of Fund ABD and Fund ABD II for the exclusive and separate benefit of the owners of each Separate Account, according to the laws of Connecticut. Income, gains and losses, whether or not realized, from assets allocated to the Separate Account are, in accordance with the Contracts, credited to or charged against the Separate Account without regard to other income, gains and losses of the Company. The assets held by the Separate Account are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business that we may conduct. Obligations under the Contract are obligations of the Company. All investment income and other distributions of the funding options are payable to the Separate Account. We reinvest all such income and/or distributions in shares of the respective funding option at net asset value. Shares of the funding options are currently sold only to life insurance company Separate Accounts to fund variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts. Certain variable annuity separate accounts and variable life insurance separate accounts may invest in the funding options simultaneously (called "mixed" and "shared" funding). It is conceivable that in the future it may be disadvantageous to do so. Although the Company and the Variable Funding Options do not currently foresee any such disadvantages either to variable annuity contract owners or variable life policy owners, each Underlying Fund's Board of Directors intends to monitor events in order to identify any material conflicts between them and to determine what action, if any, should be taken. If a Board of Directors was to conclude that separate funds should be established for variable life and variable annuity separate accounts, the variable annuity contract owners would not bear any of the related expenses, but variable annuity contract owners and variable life insurance policy owners would no longer have the economies of scale resulting from a larger combined fund. We reserve the right to transfer assets of the Separate Account to another separate account, and to modify the structure or operation of the Separate Account, subject to the necessary regulatory approvals. If we do so, we guarantee that the modification will not affect your Contract Value. PERFORMANCE INFORMATION In advertisements for the Contract, we may include performance figures to show you how a Variable Funding Option has performed in the past. These figures are rates of return or yield quotations shown as a percent. These figures show past performance of a Variable Funding Option and are not an indication of how a Variable Funding Option will perform in the future. Our advertisements may show performance figures assuming that you do not elect any optional features such as the E.S.P. However, if you elect any of these optional features, they involve additional charges that will serve to decrease the performance of your Variable Funding Options. You may wish to speak with your registered representative to obtain performance information specific to the optional features you may wish to select. Performance figures for each Variable Funding Option are based in part on the performance of a corresponding Underlying Fund. In some cases, the Underlying Fund may have existed before the technical inception of the corresponding Variable Funding Option. In those cases, we can create "hypothetical historical performance" of a Variable Funding Option. These figures show the performance that the Variable Funding Option would have achieved had it been available during the entire history of the Underlying Fund. In a low interest rate environment, yields for money market Subaccounts, after deduction of the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, Administrative Expense Charge and the charge for any optional benefit riders (if applicable), may be negative even though the Underlying Fund's yield, before deducting for such charges, is positive. If you allocate a portion of your Contract Value to a money market Subaccount or participate in an 33

asset allocation program where Contract Value is allocated to a money market Subaccount under the applicable asset allocation model, that portion of your Contract Value may decrease in value. 34

FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS The following general discussion of the federal income tax consequences related to your investment in this Contract is not intended to cover all situations, and is not meant to provide tax or legal advice. Because of the complexity of the law and the fact that the tax results will vary depending on many factors, you should consult your tax and/or legal adviser regarding the tax implications of purchasing this Contract based upon your individual situation. For further tax information, an additional discussion of certain tax matters is contained in the SAI. GENERAL TAXATION OF ANNUITIES Congress has recognized the value of saving for retirement by providing certain tax benefits, in the form of tax deferral, for premiums paid under an annuity and permitting tax-free transfers between the various investment options offered under the Contract. The Internal Revenue Code ("Code") governs how earnings on your investment in the Contract are ultimately taxed, depending upon the type of contract, qualified or non-qualified, and the manner in which the money is distributed, as briefly described below. In analyzing the benefits of tax deferral it is important to note that the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 amended Code Section 1 to reduce the marginal tax rates on long-term capital gains and dividends to 5% and 15%, respectively. The reduced rates apply during 2003 through 2008, and thereafter will increase to prior levels. Under current federal income tax law, the taxable portion of distributions under variable annuity contracts and qualified plans (including IRAs) is not eligible for the reduced tax rate applicable to long-term capital gains and dividends. Earnings under annuity contracts, like interest payable on fixed investments (notes, bonds, etc.) continue to be taxed as ordinary income (top rate of 35%). STATE AND LOCAL TAXES. The rules for state and local income taxes may differ from the federal income tax rules. Purchasers and prospective purchasers of the Contract should consult their own tax advisors and the law of the applicable taxing jurisdiction to determine what rules and tax benefits apply to the contract. PENALTY TAX FOR PREMATURE DISTRIBUTIONS. For both Qualified and Non-qualified Contracts, taxable distributions taken before the Contract Owner has reached the age of 59 1/2 will be subject to a 10% additional tax penalty unless the distribution is taken in a series of periodic distributions, for life or life expectancy, or unless the distribution follows the death or disability of the Contract Owner. Other exceptions may be available in certain qualified plans. The 10% tax penalty is in addition to any other penalties that may apply under your Contract and the normal income taxes due on the distribution. TAX-FREE EXCHANGES. Code Section 1035 provides that, if certain conditions are met, no gain or loss is recognized when an annuity contract is received in exchange for a life insurance, endowment, or annuity contract. Since different annuity contracts have different expenses, fees and benefits, a tax-free exchange could result in your investment becoming subject to higher or lower fees and/or expenses. FEDERAL ESTATE TAXES. While no attempt is being made to discuss the Federal estate tax implications of the Contract, you should keep 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 payable to the designated beneficiary or the actuarial value of the payments to be received by the beneficiary. Consult an estate planning advisor for more information.

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 the Company to deduct the tax from your Contract or from any applicable payment and pay it directly to the IRS. TYPES OF CONTRACTS: QUALIFIED AND NON-QUALIFIED QUALIFIED ANNUITY CONTRACTS If you purchase your Contract with proceeds of an eligible rollover distribution from any tax-qualified employee pension or retirement savings plan or individual retirement annuity (IRA), your Contract is referred to as a Qualified Contract. Some examples of Qualified Contracts are: IRAs (including Roth IRAs), tax sheltered annuities established by public school systems or certain tax exempt organizations under Code Section 403(b), corporate-sponsored pension, retirement savings and profit sharing plans (including 401(k) plans), Keogh Plans (for self-employed individuals), and certain other qualified deferred compensation plans. The rights and benefits under a Qualified Contract may be limited by the terms of the retirement plan, regardless of the terms and conditions of the Contract. Plan participants making contributions to Qualified Contracts will be subject to the required minimum distribution rules as provided by the Code and described below. All qualified plans (including IRAs) receive tax-deferral under the Code. Although there are no additional tax benefits to funding your qualified plan or IRA with an annuity, it does offer you additional insurance benefits, such as the availability of a guaranteed income for life. TAXATION OF QUALIFIED ANNUITY CONTRACTS Under a qualified annuity, since amounts paid into the Contract generally have not yet been taxed, the full amount of any distributions (including the amount attributable to Purchase Payments), whether paid in the form of lump sum withdrawals or Annuity Payments, are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates unless the distribution is transferred to an eligible rollover account or contract. There are special rules which govern the taxation of Qualified Contracts, including withdrawal restrictions, requirements for mandatory distributions, and contribution limits. Amounts rolled over to the Contract from other qualified funding vehicles generally are not subject to current taxation. HURRICANE RELIEF LOANS. Your plan may provide for increased limits and delayed repayment of participant loans, where otherwise permitted by your plan, pursuant to the Katrina Emergency Tax Relief Act of 2005 and the Gulf Opportunity Zone Act of 2005. An eligible retirement plan other than an IRA may allow a plan loan to delay loan repayment by certain individuals impacted by Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma , whose principal places of abode on certain dates were located in statutorily defined disaster areas and who sustained an economic loss due to the hurricane. Generally, if the due date for any repayment with respect to such loan occurs during a period beginning on September 23, 2005 (for purposes of Hurricane Katrina) or October 23, 2005 (for purposes of Hurricanes Rita and Wilma) and ending on December 31, 2006, then such due date may be delayed for one year. Note: For purposes of these loan rules, an individual cannot be a qualified individual with respect to more than one hurricane. Consult your tax advisor to determine if hurricane relief is available to your particular situation.

MANDATORY DISTRIBUTIONS FOR QUALIFIED PLANS Federal tax law requires that minimum annual distributions begin by April 1st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which an IRA owner attains age 70 1/2. Participants in qualified plans and 403(b) annuities may defer minimum distributions until the later of April 1st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which they attain age 70 1/2 or the year of retirement (except for participants who are 5% or more owners of the plan sponsor). If you own more than one individual retirement annuity and/or account, you may satisfy the minimum distribution rules on an aggregate basis (i.e. determine the total amount of required distributions from all IRAs and take the required amount from any one or more IRAs). A similar aggregate approach is available to meet your 403(b) minimum distribution requirements if you have multiple 403(b) annuities. Recently promulgated Treasury regulations changed the distribution requirements; therefore, it is important that you consult your tax adviser as to the impact of these regulations on your personal situation. MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS FOR BENEFICIARIES UPON THE CONTRACT OWNER'S DEATH: Upon the death of the Contract Owner and/or Annuitant of a Qualified Contract, the funds remaining in the Contract must be completely withdrawn within five years from the date of death or minimum distributions may be taken over the life expectancy of the individual beneficiaries (or in the case of certain trusts that are contract benfeciaries, over the life expectancy of the individuals who are the beneficiaries of the trust), provided such distributions are payable at least annually and begin within one year from the date of death. Special rules apply where the beneficiary is the surviving spouse, which allow the spouse to assume the Contract and defer the minimum distribution requirements. Final income tax regulations regarding minimum distribution requirements were released in June 2004. These regulations affect both deferred and income annuities. Under these new rules, effective with respect to minimum distributions required for the 2006 distribution year, in general, the value of all benefits under a deferred annuity (including death benefits in excess of cash value, including the Earnings Preservation Benefit, as well as all living benefits such as GMIB and GMWB) must be added to the account value in computing the amount required to be distributed over the applicable period. We will provide you with additional information as to the amount of your interest in the Contract that is subject to required minimum distributions under this new rule and either compute the required amount for you or offer to do so at your request. The new rules are not entirely clear and you should consult your personal tax advisor as to how these rules affect your Contract. NOTE TO PARTICIPANTS IN QUALIFIED PLANS INCLUDING 401, 403(b), 457 AS WELL AS IRA OWNERS: While annual plan contribution limits may be increased from time to time by Congress and the IRS for federal income tax purposes, these limits must be adopted by each state for any higher limits to be effective at a state income tax level. In other words, the permissible contribution limits for federal and state income tax purposes may be different. Therefore, in certain states, a portion of the contributions may not be excludible or deductible from state income taxes. Please consult your employer or tax adviser regarding this issue. INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITIES To the extent of earned income for the year and not exceeding the applicable limit for the taxable year, an individual may make deductible contributions to an individual retirement annuity (IRA). The applicable limit ($2,000 per year prior to 2002) has been increased by the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 ("EGTRRA"). The limit is $3,000 for calendar years 2002-2004, $4,000 for calendar years 2005-2007, and will be indexed for inflation in years subsequent to 2008. Additional "catch-up contributions" may be made to an IRA by individuals age 50 or over. There are certain limits on the deductible amount based on the adjusted gross income of the individual and spouse and on their participation in a retirement plan. If an individual is married and the spouse is not employed, the individual may establish IRAs for the individual and spouse. Purchase Payments may then be made annually into IRAs for both spouses in the maximum amount of 100% of earned income up to a combined limit based on the individual limits outlined above. Deductible contributions to an IRA and Roth IRA for the year must be aggregated for purposes of the individual Code Section 408A limits and the Code Section 219 limits (age 50+catch-up). Partial or full distributions are treated as ordinary income, except that amounts contributed after 1986 on a non-deductible basis are not includable in income when distributed. An additional tax of 10% will apply to any taxable distribution from the IRA that is received by the participant before the age of 59 1/2 except by reason of death, disability or as part of a series of payments for life or life expectancy. Distributions must commence by April 1st of the calendar year after the close of the calendar year in which the individual attains the age of 70 1/2. Certain other mandatory distribution rules apply on the death of the individual. The individual must maintain personal and tax return records of any non-deductible contributions and distributions. Section 408 (k) of the Code provides for the purchase of a Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) plan. A SEP is funded through an IRA and can accept an annual employer contribution limited to the lesser of $42,000 or 100% of pay for each participant in 2005 ($44,000 for 2006). ROTH IRAS Effective January 1, 1998, Section 408A of the Code permits certain individuals to contribute to a Roth IRA. Eligibility to make contributions is based upon income, and the applicable limits vary based on marital status and/or whether the contribution is a rollover contribution from another IRA or an annual contribution. Contributions to a Roth IRA, which are subject to certain limitations, (similar to the annual limits for traditional IRAs), are not deductible and must be made in cash or as a rollover or transfer from another Roth IRA or other IRA. A conversion of "traditional" IRA to a Roth IRA may be subject to tax and other special rules apply. You should consult a tax adviser before combining any converted amounts with other Roth IRA contributions, including any other conversion amounts from other tax years. Qualified distributions from a Roth IRA are tax-free. A qualified distribution requires that the Roth IRA has been held for at least 5 years, and the distribution is made after age 59 1/2, on death or disability of the owner, or for a limited amount ($10,000) for a qualified first time home purchase for the owner or certain relatives. Income tax and a 10% penalty tax may apply to distributions made (1) before age 59 1/2 (subject to certain exceptions) or (2) during five taxable years starting with the year in which the first contribution is made to the Roth IRA.

NON-QUALIFIED ANNUITY CONTRACTS If you purchase the Contract on an individual basis with after-tax dollars and not under one of the programs described above, your Contract is referred to as non-qualified. As the owner of a non-qualified annuity, you do not receive any tax benefit (deduction or deferral of income) on Purchase Payments, but you will not be taxed on increases in the value of your Contract until a distribution occurs - either as a withdrawal made prior to the Maturity Date or in the form of periodic Annuity Payments. As a general rule, there is income in the Contract (earnings) to the extent the Contract Value exceeds your investment in the Contract. The investment in the Contract equals the total Purchase Payments less any amount received previously which was excludible from gross income. Generally, different tax rules apply to Annuity Payments than to withdrawals and payments received before the annuity starting date. When a withdrawal is made, you are taxed on the amount of the withdrawal that is considered earnings under federal tax laws. Similarly, when you receive an Annuity Payment, part of each periodic payment is considered a return of your Purchase Payments and will not be taxed, but the remaining portion of the Annuity Payment (i.e., any earnings) will be considered ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. Annuity Payments are subject to an "excludable amount" or "exclusion ratio" which determines how much of each payment is treated as: - a non-taxable return of your purchase payment; or - a taxable payment of earnings. We generally will tell you how much of each Annuity Payment is a non-taxable return of your Purchase Payments. However, it is possible that the IRS could conclude that the taxable portion of Annuity 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. Generally, once the total amount treated as a non-taxable return of your Purchase Payments equals your Purchase Payments, then all remaining payments are fully taxable. We will withhold a portion of the taxable amount of your Annuity Payment for income taxes, unless you elect otherwise. The amount we withhold is determined by the Code. Code Section 72(s) requires that non-qualified annuity contracts meet minimum mandatory distribution requirements upon the death of the Contract Owner, including the death of either of the Joint Owners. If these requirements are not met, the Contract will not be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes and earnings under the Contract will be taxable currently, not when distributed. The distribution required depends, among other things, upon whether an annuity option is elected or whether the succeeding Contract Owner is the surviving spouse. We will administer contracts in accordance with these rules and we will notify you when you should begin receiving payments. There is a more complete discussion of these rules in the SAI. If a non-qualified annuity is owned by a non-natural person (e.g., a corporation), increases in the value of the Contract attributable to Purchase Payments made after February 28, 1986 are includable in income annually and taxed at ordinary income tax rates. Furthermore, for contracts issued after April 22, 1987, if the Contract is transferred to another person or entity without adequate consideration, all deferred increases in value will be treated as income for federal income tax purposes at the time of the transfer. PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS: If you make a partial withdrawal of your Contract Value, the distribution generally will be taxed as first coming from earnings (income in the Contract) and then from your Purchase Payments. These withdrawn earnings are includable in your taxable income. (See Penalty Tax for Premature Distributions below.) Any direct or indirect borrowing against the value of the Contract or pledging of the Contract as security for a loan will be treated as a cash distribution under the tax law, and will have tax consequences in the year taken. It should be noted that there is no guidance as to the determination of the amount of income in a Contract if it is issued with a Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (GMWB). Therefore, you should consult with your tax adviser as to the potential tax consequences of a partial surrender if your Contract is issued with a GMWB. PARTIAL ANNUITIZATIONS (IF AVAILABLE WITH YOUR CONTRACT): At the present time the IRS has not approved the use of an exclusion ratio or exclusion amount when only part of your Contract Value is applied to a payment option. Currently, we will treat the application of less than your entire Contract Value under a Non-qualified Contract to a payment option (i.e. taking Annuity Payments) as a taxable withdrawal for federal income tax purposes (which may also be subject to the 10% penalty tax if you are under age 59 1/2). We will then treat the amount of the withdrawal (after any deductions for taxes) as the purchase price of an income annuity and tax report the income payments received that annuity under the rules for variable income annuities. Consult your tax attorney prior to partially annuitizing your Contract. We will determine the excludable amount for each income payment under the Contract as a whole by using the rules applicable to variable income payments in general (i.e. by dividing your after-tax purchase price, as adjusted for any refund or guarantee feature, by the number of expected income payments from the appropriate IRS table). However, the IRS may determine that the excludable amount is different from our computation. The tax law treats all non-qualified deferred annuities issued after October 21, 1988 by the same company (or its affiliates) to the same owner during any one calendar year as one annuity. This may cause a greater portion of your withdrawals from the Deferred Annuity to be treated as income than would otherwise be the case. Although the law is not clear, the aggregation rule may also adversely affect the tax treatment of payments received under an income annuity where the owner has purchased more than one non-qualified annuity during the same calendar year from the same or an affiliated company after October 21, 1988, and is not receiving income payments from all annuities at the same time. DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR VARIABLE ANNUITIES The Code requires that any non-qualified variable annuity contracts based on a Separate Account must meet specific diversification standards. Non-qualified variable annuity contracts shall not be treated as an annuity for federal income tax purposes if investments made in the account are not adequately diversified. Final tax regulations define how Separate Accounts must be diversified. The Company constantly monitors the diversification of investments and believes that its accounts are adequately diversified. The consequence of any failure to diversify is essentially the loss to the Contract Owner of tax-deferred treatment, requiring the current inclusion of a proportionate share of the income and gains from the Separate Account assets in the income of each Contract Owner. The Company intends to administer all contracts subject to this provision of law in a manner that will maintain adequate diversification. OWNERSHIP OF THE INVESTMENTS In certain circumstances, owners of variable annuity 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 Separate Account assets. There is little guidance in this area, and some features of the Contract, such as the number of funds available and the flexibility of the Contract Owner to allocate premium payments and transfer amounts among the funding options, 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. TAXATION OF DEATH BENEFIT PROCEEDS Amounts may be distributed from a Non-qualified Contract because of the death of an owner or Annuitant. Generally, such amounts are includable in the income of the recipient as follows: (i) if distributed in a lump sum, they are taxed in the same manner as a full surrender of the Contract; or (ii) if distributed under a payment option, they are taxed in the same way as Annuity Payments. OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS TREATMENT OF CHARGES FOR OPTIONAL BENEFITS The Contract may provide one or more optional enhanced death benefits or other minimum guaranteed benefit that in some cases may exceed the greater of purchase price or the Contract Value. It is possible that the Internal Revenue Service may take the position that the charges for the optional enhanced benefit(s) are deemed to be taxable distributions to you. Although we do not believe that a charge under such optional enhanced benefit should be treated as a taxable withdrawal, you should consult with your tax adviser before selecting any rider or endorsement to the Contract.

GUARANTEED BENEFITS. If you have purchased a GMWB, 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 amounts guaranteed to be available for withdrawal at the time of the withdrawal if greater than the account balance (prior to surrender charges). This could result in a greater amount of taxable income in certain cases. In general, at the present time, we intend to tax report such withdrawals using the account balance rather than the remaining benefit to determine gain. However, in cases where the maximum permitted withdrawal in any year under any version of the GMWB exceeds the account balance, 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. We reserve the right to change our tax reporting practices where we determine they are not in accordance with IRS guidance (whether formal or informal). PUERTO RICO TAX CONSIDERATIONS The Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 1994 (the "1994 Code") taxes distributions from non-qualified annuity 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 1994 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 (payable over your lifetime) is also calculated differently under the 1994 Code. Since Puerto Rico residents are also subject to U.S. income tax on all income other than income sourced to Puerto Rico and the Internal Revenue Service 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 1994 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. NON-RESIDENT ALIENS Distributions to non resident aliens ("NRAs") are subject to special and complex tax and withholding rules under the Code with respect to U.S. source income, some of which are based upon the particular facts and circumstances of the Contract Owner, the beneficiary and the transaction itself. As stated above, the IRS has taken the position that income from the Contract received by NRAs is considered U.S. source income. In addition, Annuity Payments to NRAs in many countries are exempt from U.S. tax (or subject to lower rates) based upon a tax treaty, provided that the Contract Owner complies with the applicable requirements. NRAs should seek guidance from a tax adviser regarding their personal situation.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financial statements for the Company and its Separate Account are located in the Statement of Additional Information. DISTRIBUTION OF VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACTS DISTRIBUTION AND PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT. MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and MetLife Life and Annuity Company of Connecticut (together the "Company") have appointed MLI Distribution LLC ("MLIDLLC") (formerly, Travelers Distribution LLC) to serve as the principal underwriter and distributor of the securities offered through this Prospectus, pursuant to the terms of a Distribution and Principal Underwriting Agreement. MLIDLLC, which is an affiliate of the Company, also acts as the principal underwriter and distributor of other variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies issued by the Company and its affiliated companies. The Company reimburses MLIDLLC for expenses MLIDLLC incurs in distributing the Contracts (e.g. commissions payable to retail broker-dealers who sell the Contracts). MLIDLLC does not retain any fees under the Contracts; however, MLIDLLC may receive 12b-1 fees from the Underlying Funds. MLIDLLC's principal executive offices are located at One Cityplace, Hartford, Connecticut 06103. MLIDLLC is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as the securities commissions in the states in which it operates, and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"). MLIDLLC and the Company enter into selling agreements with affiliated and unaffiliated broker-dealers who are registered with the SEC and are members of the NASD, and with entities that may offer the Contracts but are exempt from registration. Applications for the Contract are solicited by registered representatives who are associated persons of such broker-dealer firms. Such representatives act as appointed agents of the Company under applicable state insurance law and must be licensed to sell variable insurance products. The Company no longer offers the Contract to new purchasers, but it continues to accept Purchase Payments from existing customers. COMPENSATION. Broker-dealers who have selling agreements with MLIDLLC and the Company are paid compensation for the promotion and sale of the Contracts. Registered representatives who solicit sales of the Contract typically receive a portion of the compensation payable to the broker-dealer firm. The amount the registered representative receives depends on the agreement between the firm and the registered representative. This agreement may also provide for the payment of other types of cash and non-cash compensation and other benefits. A broker-dealer firm or registered representative of a firm may receive different compensation for selling one product over another and/or may be inclined to favor one product provider over another product provider due to differing compensation rates. We generally pay compensation as a percentage of Purchase Payments invested in the Contract. Alternatively, we may pay lower compensation on Purchase Payments but pay periodic asset-based compensation based on all or a portion of the Contract Value. The amount and timing of compensation may vary depending on the selling agreement but is not expected to exceed 7.50% of Purchase Payments (if up-front compensation is paid to registered representatives) and up to 1.50% annually of average Contract Value (if asset-based compensation is paid to registered representatives). The Company and MLIDLLC have also entered into preferred distribution arrangements with certain broker-dealer firms. These arrangements are sometimes called "shelf space" arrangements. Under these arrangements, the Company and MLIDLLC pay separate, additional compensation to the broker-dealer firm for services the broker-dealer provides in connection with the distribution of the Company's products. These services may include providing the Company with access to the distribution network of the broker-dealer, the hiring and training of the broker-dealer's sales personnel, the sponsoring of conferences and seminars by the broker-dealer, or general marketing services performed by the broker-dealer. The broker-dealer may also provide other services or incur other costs in connection with distributing the Company's products. These preferred distribution arrangements will not be offered to all broker-dealer firms and the terms of such arrangements may differ between broker-dealer firms. Compensation payable under such arrangements 40
485BPOS294th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 294th
may be based on aggregate, net or anticipated sales of the Contracts, total assets attributable to sales of the Contract by registered representatives of the broker-dealer firm or based on the length of time that a Contract Owner has owned the Contract. Any such compensation payable to a broker-dealer firm will be made by MLIDLLC or the Company out of their own assets and will not result in any additional direct charge to you. Such compensation may cause the broker-dealer firm and its registered representatives to favor the Company's products. The Company and MLIDLLC have entered into a preferred distribution arrangement with Morgan Stanley DW, Inc., the only broker-dealer firm that is authorized by the Company and MLIDLLC to offer the Contracts. See the "Statement of Additional Information--DISTRIBUTION AND PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT" for a list of the broker-dealer firms that received such additional compensation during 2005, as well as the range of additional compensation paid. The Company and MLIDLLC have entered into selling agreements with certain broker-dealer firms that have an affiliate that acts as investment adviser or sub-adviser to one or more Underlying Funds that may be offered under the Contracts. These investment advisory firms include Fidelity Management & Research Company, Morgan Stanley Investment Advisers Inc., Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, L.P., MetLife Investment Funds Management LLC, MetLife Advisers, LLC and Met Investors Advisory LLC. MetLife Investment Funds Management LLC, MetLife Advisers, LLC and Met Investors Advisory LLC are affiliates of the Company. Registered representatives of broker-dealer firms with an affiliated company acting as an adviser or a sub-adviser may favor these Funds when offering the Contracts. CONFORMITY WITH STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS The laws of the state in which we deliver a Contract govern that Contract. Where a state has not approved a Contract feature or funding option, it will not be available in that state. Any paid-up annuity, Cash Surrender Value or death benefits that are available under the Contract are not less than the minimum benefits required by the statutes of the state in which we delivered the Contract. We reserve the right to make any changes, including retroactive changes, in the Contract to the extent that the change is required to meet the requirements of any law or regulation issued by any governmental agency to which the Company, the Contract or the Contract Owner is subject. VOTING RIGHTS The Company is the legal owner of the shares of the Underlying Funds. However, we believe that when an Underlying Fund solicits proxies in conjunction with a vote of shareholders we are required to obtain from you and from other owners instructions on how to vote those shares. We will vote all shares, including those we may own on our own behalf, and those where we have not received instructions from Contract Owners, in the same proportion as shares for which we received voting instructions. Should we determine that we are no longer required to comply with the above, we will vote on the shares in our own right. In certain limited circumstances, and when permitted by law, we may disregard voting instructions. If we do disregard voting instructions, a summary of that action and the reasons for such action would be included in the next annual report to Contract Owners. RESTRICTIONS ON FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS Federal laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering might, in certain circumstances, require us to block a Contract Owner's ability to make certain transactions and thereby refuse to accept any request for transfers, withdrawals, surrenders, or death benefits, until the instructions are received from the appropriate regulator. We may also be required to provide additional information about you and your Contract to government regulators. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In the ordinary course of business, the Company, 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, the Company does not believe any such action or proceeding will have a material adverse effect upon the Separate Account or upon the ability of MLIDLLC to perform its contract with the Separate Account or of the Company to meet its obligations under the Contracts. 41

APPENDIX C THE FIXED ACCOUNT The Fixed Account is part of the Company's general account assets. These general account assets include all assets of the Company other than those held in the separate accounts sponsored by the Company or its affiliates. The staff of the SEC does not generally review the disclosure in the prospectus relating to the Fixed Account. Disclosure regarding the Fixed Account and the general account may, however, be subject to certain provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in the prospectus. Under the Fixed Account, the Company assumes the risk of investment gain or loss, guarantees a specified interest rate, and guarantees a specified periodic annuity payment. The investment gain or loss of the Separate Account or any of the funding options does not affect the Fixed Account Contract Value, or the dollar amount of fixed annuity payments made under any payout option. We guarantee that, at any time, the Fixed Account Contract Value will not be less than the amount of the Purchase Payments allocated to the Fixed Account, plus interest credited as described below, less any applicable premium taxes or prior withdrawals. Purchase Payments allocated to the Fixed Account and any transfers made to the Fixed Account become part of the Company's general account, which supports insurance and annuity obligations. The general account and any interest therein is not registered under, or subject to the provisions of, the Securities Act of 1933 or Investment Company Act of 1940. We will invest the assets of the Fixed Account at our discretion. Investment income from such Fixed Account assets will be allocated to us and to the Contracts participating in the Fixed Account. Investment income from the Fixed Account allocated to us includes compensation for mortality and expense risks borne by us in connection with Fixed Account Contracts. The amount of such investment income allocated to the Contracts will vary from year to year in our sole discretion at such rate or rates as we prospectively declare from time to time. We guarantee the initial rate for any allocations into the Fixed Account for one year from the date of such allocation. We guarantee subsequent renewal rates for the calendar quarter. We also guarantee that for the life of the Contract we will credit interest at not less than 3% per year. We will determine any interest we credit to amounts allocated to the Fixed Account in excess of 3% per year in our sole discretion. You assume the risk that interest credited to the Fixed Account may not exceed the minimum guarantee of 3% for any given year. TRANSFERS You may make transfers from the Fixed Account to any available variable funding option(s) twice a year during the 30 days following the semiannual anniversary of the contract date. We limit transfers to an amount of up to 15% of the Fixed Account Contract Value on the semiannual Contract date anniversary. (This restriction does not apply to transfers under the Dollar Cost Averaging Program.) Amounts previously transferred from the Fixed Account to variable funding options may not be transferred back to the Fixed Account for a period of at least six months from the date of transfer. We reserve the right to waive either of these restrictions. Automated transfers from the Fixed Account to any of the variable funding options may begin at any time. Automated transfers from the Fixed Account may not deplete your Fixed Account value in a period of less than twelve months from your enrollment in the Dollar Cost Averaging Program. C-1

The Company is licensed to conduct life insurance business in all states of the United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. and British Virgin Islands and the Bahamas.

MetLife, Inc., through its subsidiaries and affiliates, is a leading provider of insurance and other financial services to individual and institutional customers. The Company's Home Office is located at One Cityplace, Hartford, Connecticut 06103-3415. STATE REGULATION.

MLIDLLC Underwriting Commissions [Download Table] UNDERWRITING COMMISSIONS PAID TO AMOUNT OF UNDERWRITING COMMISSIONS YEAR MLIDLLC BY THE COMPANY RETAINED BY MLIDLLC 2005 $ 132,588,671 $0 2004 $ 132,410,000 $0 2003 $ 73,233,000 $0 The Company and MLIDLLC have also entered into preferred distribution arrangements with certain broker-dealer firms. These arrangements are sometimes called "shelf space" arrangements. Under these arrangements, the Company and MLIDLLC pay separate, additional compensation to the broker-dealer firms for services the broker-dealer firms provide in connection with the distribution of the Company's products. These services may include providing the Company with access to the distribution network of the broker-dealer firms, the hiring and training of the broker-dealer firms' sales personnel, the sponsoring of conferences and seminars by the broker-dealer firms, or general marketing services performed by the broker-dealer firms. The broker-dealer firms may also provide other services or incur other costs in connection with distributing the Company's products. These preferred distribution arrangements will not be offered to all broker-dealer firms and the terms of such arrangements may differ between broker-dealer firms. Compensation payable under such arrangements may be based on aggregate, net or anticipated sales of the Contract, total assets attributable to sales of the Contract by registered representatives of the broker-dealer firms or based on the length of time that a Contract owner has owned the Contract. Any such compensation payable to a broker-dealer firm will be made by MLIDLLC or the Company out of their own assets and will not result in any additional direct charge to you. Such compensation may cause the broker-dealer firms and their registered representatives to favor the Company's products. The amount of additional compensation (non-commission amounts) paid to selected broker-dealer firms during 2005 ranged from $3,366,257 to $8,402. The amount of commissions paid to selected broker-dealer firms during 2005 ranged from $29,851,648 to $438,893. The amount of total compensation (includes non-commission as well as commission amounts) paid to selected broker-dealer firms during 2005 ranged from $33,217,905 to $273,717. The following list sets forth the names of broker-dealer firms that have entered into preferred distribution arrangements with the Company and MLIDLLC under which the broker-dealer firms received additional compensation in 2005 in connection with the sale of our variable annuity contracts, variable life policies and other insurance products (including the Contracts). The broker-dealer firms are listed in alphabetical order: AIG Advisor Group (including Advantage Capital Corporation, FSC Securities Corporation, Royal Alliance Associates, Inc., Sentra Securities Corporation, Spelman & Co., Inc. and SunAmerica Securities, Inc.

REDUCTION OR ELIMINATION OF THE WITHDRAWAL CHARGE. We may reduce or eliminate the withdrawal charge under the Contract when certain sales or administration of the Contract result in savings or reduced expenses and/or risks. We will not reduce or eliminate the withdrawal charge where such reduction or elimination would be unfairly discriminatory to any person. VALUATION OF ASSETS FUNDING OPTIONS. The value of the assets of each Funding Option is determined at 4:00 p.m. eastern time on each business day, unless we need to close earlier due to an emergency. A business day is any day the New York Stock Exchange is open. It is expected that the Exchange will be closed on Saturdays and Sundays and on the observed holidays of New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, President's Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Each security traded on a national securities exchange is valued at the last reported sale price on the business day. If there has been no sale on that day, then the value of the security is taken to be the mean between the reported bid and asked prices on the business day or on the basis of quotations received from a reputable broker or any other recognized source. THE CONTRACT VALUE: The value of an Accumulation Unit on any business day is determined by multiplying the value on the preceding business day by the net investment factor for the valuation period just ended. The net investment factor is used to measure the investment performance of a Funding Option from one valuation period to the next. The net investment factor for a Funding Option for any valuation period is equal to the sum of 1.000000 plus the net investment rate (the gross investment rate less any applicable Funding Option deductions during the valuation period relating to the mortality and expense risk charge and the administrative expense charge). The gross investment rate of a Funding Option is equal to (a) minus (b), divided by (c) where: (a) = investment income plus capital gains and losses (whether realized or unrealized); (b) = any deduction for applicable taxes (presently zero); and (c) = the value of the assets of the funding option at the beginning of the valuation period. The gross investment rate may be either positive or negative. A Funding Option's investment income includes any distribution whose ex-dividend date occurs during the valuation period. ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE. The value of the Accumulation Unit for each Funding Option was initially established at $1.00. The value of an Accumulation Unit on any business day is determined by multiplying the value on the preceding business day by the net investment factor for the valuation period just ended. The net investment factor is calculated for each Funding Option and takes into account the investment performance, expenses and the deduction of certain expenses. ANNUITY UNIT VALUE. The initial Annuity Unit value applicable to each Funding Option was established at $1.00. An Annuity Unit value as of any business day is equal to (a) the value of the Annuity Unit on the preceding business day, multiplied by (b) the corresponding net investment factor for the business day just ended, divided by (c) the assumed net investment factor for the valuation period. (For example, the assumed net investment factor based on an annual assumed net investment rate of 3.0% for a valuation period of one day is 1.000081 and, for a period of two days, is 1.000081 x 1.000081.) CALCULATION OF MONEY MARKET YIELD From time to time, we may quote in advertisements and sales literature the adjusted and unadjusted effective yield for a money market Subaccount for a 7-day period, as described below. On a Contract-specific basis, the effective yield is computed at each month-end according to the following formula: EffectiveYield = ((BaseReturn + 1) to the power of (365 / 7)) - 1 4
485BPOS325th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 325th
Where: BaseReturn = (AUVChange - ContractChargeAdjustment) / PriorAUV. AUVChange = CurrentAUV -- PriorAUV. ContractChargeAdjustment = AverageAUV * Period Charge. AverageAUV = (CurrentAUV + PriorAUV) / 2. PeriodCharge = AnnualContractFee * (7/365). PriorAUV = Unit value as of 7 days prior. CurrentAUV = Unit value as of the reporting period (last day of the month). We may also quote the effective yield of a money market Subaccount for the same 7-day period, determined on an unadjusted basis (which does not deduct Contract-level charges), according to the same formula but where: BaseReturn = AUVChange / PriorAUV Because of the charges and deductions imposed under the Contract, the yield for the Subaccount will be lower than the yield for the corresponding Underlying Fund. The yields on amounts held in the Subaccount normally will fluctuate on a daily basis. Therefore, the disclosed yield for any given past period is not an indication or representation of future yields or rates of return. The actual yield for the Subaccount is affected by changes in interest rates on money market securities, average portfolio maturity of the Underlying Fund, the types and qualities of portfolio securities held by the Underlying Fund, and the Underlying Fund's operating expenses. Yields on amounts held in the Subaccount may also be presented for periods other than a 7-day period. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS The following description of the federal income tax consequences under this Contract is general in nature and is therefore not exhaustive and is not intended to cover all situations. Because of the complexity of the law and the fact that the tax results will vary according to the factual status of the individual involved, a person contemplating purchase of an annuity contract and by a Contract Owner or beneficiary who may make elections under a Contract should consult with a qualified tax or legal adviser. FOREIGN TAX CREDIT To the extent permitted under federal income tax law, the Separate Account may claim the benefit of certain tax credits attributable to taxes paid by certain of the Portfolios to foreign jurisdictions. MANDATORY DISTRIBUTIONS FOR QUALIFIED PLANS Federal tax law requires that minimum annual distributions begin by April 1st of the calendar year following the later of calendar year in which a participant under a qualified plan or a Section 403(b) annuity attains age 70 1/2 or retires. Minimum annual distributions under an IRA must begin by April 1st of the calendar year in which the Contract Owner attains 70 1/2 regardless of when he or she retires. Distributions must also begin or be continued according to the minimum distribution rules under the Code following the death of the Contract Owner or the annuitant. You should note that the U.S. Treasury recently issued regulations clarifying the operation of the required minimum distribution rules. NONQUALIFIED ANNUITY CONTRACTS Individuals may purchase tax-deferred annuities without any limits. The purchase payments receive no tax benefit, deduction or deferral, but taxes on the increases in the value of the contract are generally deferred until distribution and transfers between the various investment options are not subject to tax. Generally, if an annuity contract is owned by other than an individual (or an entity such as a trust or other "look-through" entity which owns for an individual's benefit), the owner will 5
485BPOS326th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 326th
be taxed each year on the increase in the value of the contract. An exception applies for purchase payments made before March 1, 1986. The benefits of tax deferral of income earned under a non-qualified annuity should be compared with the relative federal tax rates on income from other types of investments (dividends and capital gains, taxable at 15% or less) relative to the ordinary income treatment received on annuity income and interest received on fixed instruments (notes, bonds, etc.). If two or more annuity contracts are purchased from the same insurer within the same calendar year, such annuity contract will be aggregated for federal income tax purposes. As a result, distributions from any of them will be taxed based upon the amount of income in all of the same calendar year series of annuities. This will generally have the effect of causing taxes to be paid sooner on the deferred gain in the contracts. Those receiving partial distributions made before the maturity date will generally be taxed on an income-first basis to the extent of income in the contract. If you are exchanging another annuity contract for this annuity, certain pre-August 14, 1982 deposits into an annuity contract that have been placed in the contract by means of a tax-deferred exchange under Section 1035 of the Code may be withdrawn first without income tax liability. This information on deposits must be provided to the Company by the other insurance company at the time of the exchange. There is income in the contract generally to the extent the cash value exceeds the investment in the contract. The investment in the contract is equal to the amount of premiums paid less any amount received previously which was excludable from gross income. Any direct or indirect borrowing against the value of the contract or pledging of the contract as security for a loan will be treated as a cash distribution under the tax law. In order to be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, Section 72(s) of the Code requires any non-qualified contract to contain certain provisions specifying how your interest in the contract will be distributed in the event of the death of an owner of the contract. Specifically, Section 72(s) requires that (a) if an owner dies on or after the annuity starting date, but prior to the time the entire interest in the contract has been distributed, the entire interest in the contract will be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of such owner's death; and (b) if any owner dies prior to the annuity starting date, the entire interest in the contract will be distributed within five years after the date of such owner's death. These requirements will be considered satisfied as to any portion of an owner's interest which is payable to or for the benefit of a designated beneficiary and which is distributed over the life of such designated beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of that beneficiary, provided that such distributions begin within one year of the owner's death. The designated beneficiary refers to a natural person designated by the owner as a beneficiary and to whom ownership of the contract passes by reason of death. However, if the designated beneficiary is the surviving spouse of the deceased owner, the contract may be continued with the surviving spouse as the successor-owner. Contracts will be administered by the Company in accordance with these rules and the Company will make a notification when payments should be commenced. Special rules apply regarding distribution requirements when an annuity is owned by a trust or other entity for the benefit of one or more individuals. INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITIES To the extent of earned income for the year and not exceeding the applicable limit for the taxable year, an individual may make deductible contributions to an individual retirement annuity (IRA). The applicable limit ($2,000 per year prior to 2002) has been increased by the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 ("EGTRRA"). The limit is $3,000 for calendar years 2002 -- 2004, $4,000 for calendar years 2005-2007, and $5,000 for 2008, and will be indexed for inflation in years subsequent to 2008. Additional "catch-up" contributions may be made to an IRA by individuals age 50 or over. There are certain limits on the deductible amount based on the adjusted gross income of the individual and spouse and based on their participation in a retirement plan. If an individual is married and the spouse does not have earned income, the individual may establish IRAs for the individual and spouse. Purchase payments may then be made 6
485BPOS327th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 327th
annually into IRAs for both spouses in the maximum amount of 100% of earned income up to a combined limit based on the individual limits outlined above. The Code provides for the purchase of a Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) plan. A SEP is funded through an IRA with an annual employer contribution limit of up to $40,000 for each participant. The Internal Revenue Services has not reviewed the contract for qualifications as an IRA, and has not addressed in a ruling of general applicability whether a death benefit provision such as the optional enhanced death benefit in the contract comports with IRA qualification requirements. SIMPLE PLAN IRA FORM Effective January 1, 1997, employers may establish a savings incentive match plan for employees ("SIMPLE plan") under which employees can make elective salary reduction contributions to an IRA based on a percentage of compensation of up to the applicable limit for the taxable year. The applicable limit was increased under EGTRRA. The applicable limit was increased under EGTRRA to $7,000 for 2002, $8,000 for 2003, $9,000 in 2004, $10,000 in 2005 (which will be indexed for inflation for years after 2005. (Alternatively, the employer can establish a SIMPLE cash or deferred arrangement under IRS Section 401(k)). Under a SIMPLE plan IRA, the employer must either make a matching contribution or a nonelective contribution based on the prescribed formulas for all eligible employees. Early withdrawals are subject to the 10% early withdrawal penalty generally applicable to IRAs, except that an early withdrawal by an employee under a SIMPLE plan IRA, within the first two years of participation, shall be subject to a 25% early withdrawal tax. ROTH IRAS Effective January 1, 1998, Section 408A of the Code permits certain individuals to contribute to a Roth IRA. Eligibility to make contributions is based upon income, and the applicable limits vary based on marital status and/or whether the contribution is a rollover contribution from another IRA or an annual contribution. Contributions to a Roth IRA, which are subject to certain limitations (similar to the annual limits for the traditional IRA's), are not deductible and must be made in cash or as a rollover or transfer from another Roth IRA or other IRA. A conversion of a "traditional" IRA to a Roth IRA may be subject to tax and other special rules apply. You should consult a tax adviser before combining any converted amounts with other Roth IRA contributions, including any other conversion amounts from other tax years. Qualified distributions from a Roth IRA are tax-free. A qualified distribution requires that the Roth IRA has been held for at least 5 years, and the distribution is made after age 59 1/2, on death or disability of the owner, or for a limited amount ($10,000) for a qualified first time home purchase for the owner or certain relatives. Income tax and a 10% penalty tax may apply to distributions made (1) before age 59 1/2 (subject to certain exceptions) or (2) during five taxable years starting with the year in which the first contribution is made to any Roth IRA of the individual. QUALIFIED PENSION AND PROFIT-SHARING PLANS Like most other contributions made under a qualified pension or profit-sharing plan, purchase payments made by an employer are not currently taxable to the participant and increases in the value of a contract are not subject to taxation until received by a participant or beneficiary. Distributions are generally taxable to the participant or beneficiary as ordinary income in the year of receipt. Any distribution that is considered the participant's "investment in the contract" is treated as a return of capital and is not taxable. Under a qualified plan, the investment in the contract may be zero. The annual limits that apply to the amounts that may be contributed to a defined contribution plan each year were increased by EGTRRA. The maximum total annual limit was increased from $35,000 to $40,000 ($42,000 for 2005). The limit on employee salary reduction deferrals (commonly referred to as "401(k) contributions") increase on a graduated basis; $11,000 in 2002, $12,000 in 2003, $13,000 in 2004, $14,000 in 2005 and $15,000 in 2006. The $15,000 annual limit will be indexed 7
485BPOS328th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 328th
for inflation after 2006. Additional "catch-up contributions" may be made by individuals age 50 or over. Amounts attributable to salary reduction contributions under Code Section 401(k) and income thereon may not be withdrawn prior to severance from employment, death, total and permanent disability, attainment of age 59 1/2, or in the case of hardship. SECTION 403(b) PLANS Under Code section 403(b), payments made by public school systems and certain tax exempt organizations to purchase annuity contracts for their employees are excludable from the gross income of the employee, subject to certain limitations. However, these payments may be subject to FICA (Social Security) taxes. A qualified contract issued as a tax-sheltered annuity under section 403(b) will be amended as necessary to conform to the requirements of the Code. The annual limits under Code Section 403(b) for employee salary reduction deferrals are increased under the same rules applicable to 401(k) plans ($14,000 in 2005). Code section 403(b)(11) restricts this distribution under Code section 403(b) annuity contracts of: (1) elective contributions made in years beginning after December 31, 1998; (2) earnings on those contributions; and (3) earnings in such years on amounts held as of the last year beginning before January 1, 1989. Distribution of those amounts may only occur upon death of the employee, attainment of age 59 1/2, separation from service, disability, or financial hardship. In addition, income attributable to elective contributions may not be distributed in the case of hardship. FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING The portion of a distribution, which is taxable income to the recipient, will be subject to federal income tax withholding as follows: 1. ELIGIBLE ROLLOVER DISTRIBUTION FROM SECTION 403(b) PLANS OR ARRANGEMENTS, FROM QUALIFIED PENSION AND PROFIT-SHARING PLANS, OR FROM 457 PLANS SPONSORED BY GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES There is a mandatory 20% tax withholding for plan distributions that are eligible for rollover to an IRA or to another qualified retirement plan (including a 457 plan sponsored by a governmental entity) but that are not directly rolled over. A distribution made directly to a participant or beneficiary may avoid this result if: (a) a periodic settlement distribution is elected based upon a life or life expectancy calculation, or (b) a term-for-years settlement distribution is elected for a period of ten years or more, payable at least annually, or (c) a minimum required distribution as defined under the tax law is taken after the attainment of the age of 70 1/2 or as otherwise required by law, or (d) the distribution is a hardship distribution. A distribution including a rollover that is not a direct rollover will be subject to the 20% withholding, and the 10% additional tax penalty on premature withdrawals may apply to any amount not added back in the rollover. The 20% withholding may be recovered when the participant or beneficiary files a personal income tax return for the year if a rollover was completed within 60 days of receipt of the funds, except to the extent that the participant or spousal beneficiary is otherwise underwithheld or short on estimated taxes for that year. 2. OTHER NON-PERIODIC DISTRIBUTIONS (FULL OR PARTIAL REDEMPTIONS) To the extent not subject to 20% mandatory withholding as described in 1. above, the portion of a non-periodic distribution, which constitutes taxable income, will be subject to federal income tax withholding, if the aggregate distributions exceed $200 for the year, unless the recipient elects not to have taxes withheld. If no such election is made, 10% of the taxable portion of the distribution 8
485BPOS329th Page of 575TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 329th
will be withheld as federal income tax; provided that the recipient may elect any other percentage. Election forms will be provided at the time distributions are requested. This form of withholding applies to all annuity programs. 3. PERIODIC DISTRIBUTIONS (DISTRIBUTIONS PAYABLE OVER A PERIOD GREATER THAN ONE YEAR) The portion of a periodic distribution, which constitutes taxable income, will be subject to federal income tax withholding under the wage withholding tables as if the recipient were married claiming three exemptions. A recipient may elect not to have income taxes withheld or have income taxes withheld at a different rate by providing a completed election form. Election forms will be provided at the time distributions are requested. This form of withholding applies to all annuity programs. Recipients who elect not to have withholding made are liable for payment of federal income tax on the taxable portion of the distribution. Recipients may also be subject to penalties under the estimated tax payment rules if withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient to cover tax liabilities. Recipients who do not provide a social security number or other taxpayer identification number will not be permitted to elect out of withholding. Additionally, U.S citizens residing outside of the country, or U.S. legal residents temporarily residing outside the country, are subject to different withholding rules and generally cannot elect out of withholding.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Policyholders of The Travelers Fund ABD for Variable Annuities and the Board of Directors of The Travelers Insurance Company: We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the sub-accounts (as disclosed in Appendix A) comprising The Travelers Fund ABD for Variable Annuities (the "Separate Account") of The Travelers Insurance Company ("TIC") as of December 31, 2005, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets for the period in the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Separate Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Separate Account is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Separate Account's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the sub-accounts comprising The Travelers Fund ABD for Variable Annuities of TIC as of December 31, 2005, the results of their operations and the changes in their net assets for the period in the year 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 15, 2006

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued 1. BUSINESS (CONTINUED) [Enlarge/Download Table] New Funds in 2005 included above (continued): Managed Allocation Series: Moderate-Conservative Portfolio The Travelers Series Trust 5/2/2005 Style Focus Series: Small Cap Value Portfolio The Travelers Series Trust 5/2/2005 Not all funds may be available in all states or to all contract owners. This report is prepared for the general information of contract owners and is not an offer of units of The Travelers Fund ABD for Variable Annuities or shares of Fund ABD's underlying funds. It should not be used in connection with any offer except in conjunction with the Prospectus for The Travelers Fund ABD for Variable Annuities product(s) offered by The Company and the Prospectuses of the underlying funds, which collectively contain all pertinent information, including additional information on charges and expenses. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by Fund ABD in the preparation of its financial statements. Investments are valued daily at the net asset values per share of the underlying funds. Short-term investments are reported at fair value based on quoted market prices. Short-term investments, for which there is no reliable quoted market price, are recorded at amortized cost which approximates fair value. Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date and held at average cost. Income from dividends and realized gain (loss) distributions are recorded on the ex-distribution date. Included in "other receipts/(payments)" in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets are primarily contract benefits which have been re-deposited with The Company and distributions for payouts. The operations of Fund ABD 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 Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Under existing federal income tax law, no taxes are payable on the earnings of Fund ABD. Fund ABD is not taxed as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Code. In 2001, Fund ABD adopted the financial highlights disclosure recommended by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Audit Guide ("AICPA Guide") for Investment Companies. The AICPA Guide allows for the prospective application of this disclosure, which will ultimately display a five year period. It is comprised of the units, unit values, investment income ratio, expense ratios and total returns for each sub-account. Since each sub-account offers multiple contract charges, certain information is provided in the form of a range. The range information may reflect varying time periods if assets did not exist with all contract charge options of the sub-account for the entire year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 3. CONTRACT CHARGES The asset-based charges listed below are deducted, as appropriate, each business day and are assessed through the calculation of accumulation and annuity unit values: - Mortality and Expense Risks assumed by The Company (M&E) - Administrative fees paid for administrative expenses (ADM) - Enhanced Stepped-up Provision, if elected by the contract owner (ESP) - Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit, if elected by the contract owner (GMWB) - Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit, if elected by the contract owner (GMAB) -75-

These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that are assessed against contract owner accounts either through reductions in the unit values or the redemption of units. The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the subaccount invests. (2) These amounts represent the annualized contract expenses of the separate account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund have been excluded. -92-

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM The Board of Directors and Stockholder of The Travelers Insurance Company: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of The Travelers Insurance Company and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2005 (SUCCESSOR), and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2005 (SUCCESSOR), and June 30, 2005 (PREDECESSOR). Our audit also included the consolidated financial statement schedules as of December 31, 2005 (SUCCESSOR), and the six months ended December 31, 2005 (SUCCESSOR), and June 30, 2005 (PREDECESSOR), listed in the accompanying index. These consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statement schedules based on our audit. The consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statement schedules of the Company as of December 31, 2004 (PREDECESSOR), and for the years ended December 31, 2004 (PREDECESSOR) and 2003 (PREDECESSOR), were audited by other auditors whose report, dated March 28, 2005, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements and included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company's change of its accounting method for certain non-traditional long duration contracts and separate accounts in 2004 and for variable interest entities in 2003. We conducted our audit 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 audit 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 consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of The Travelers Insurance Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 (SUCCESSOR), and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2005 (SUCCESSOR), and June 30, 2005 (PREDECESSOR), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such consolidated 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 as of December 31, 2005 (SUCCESSOR), and for the six months ended December 31, 2005 (SUCCESSOR), and June 30, 2005 (PREDECESSOR). As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company was acquired by MetLife, Inc. on July 1, 2005. As required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5-J, Push Down Basis of Accounting Required in Certain Limited Circumstances, the purchase method of accounting was applied to the assets and liabilities of the Company, and such assets and liabilities were measured at their fair values as of the acquisition date in conformity with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements for periods prior and subsequent to the acquisition date are labeled "PREDECESSOR" and "SUCCESSOR," respectively. /s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP -------------------------------------- DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP New York, New York March 29, 2006 F-1

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. ACQUISITION OF THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY BY METLIFE, INC. On July 1, 2005 (the "Acquisition Date"), The Travelers Insurance Company ("TIC," together with its subsidiaries, including The Travelers Life and Annuity Company ("TLAC"), the "Company") and other affiliated entities, including substantially all of Citigroup Inc.'s ("Citigroup") international insurance businesses, and excluding Primerica Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries ("Primerica") (collectively, "Travelers"), were acquired by MetLife, Inc. ("MetLife") from Citigroup (the "Acquisition") for $12.0 billion. MetLife is a leading provider of insurance and other financial services to millions of individual and institutional customers throughout the United States. Outside the United States, the MetLife companies have direct insurance operations in Asia Pacific, Latin America and Europe. Consideration paid by MetLife for the purchase consisted of approximately $10.9 billion in cash and 22,436,617 shares of MetLife's common stock with a market value of approximately $1.0 billion to Citigroup and approximately $100 million in other transaction costs. Consideration paid to Citigroup will be finalized subject to review of the June 30, 2005 financial statements of Travelers by both MetLife and Citigroup and interpretation of the provisions of the acquisition agreement, dated as of January 31, 2005 between MetLife and Citigroup (the "Acquisition Agreement"), by both parties. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets , the Acquisition is being accounted for by MetLife using the purchase method of accounting, which requires that the assets and liabilities of the Company be identified and measured at their fair value as of the Acquisition Date. As required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5-J., Push Down Basis of Accounting Required in Certain Limited Circumstances, the purchase method of accounting applied by MetLife to the acquired assets and liabilities associated with the Company has been "pushed down" to the consolidated financial statements of the Company, thereby establishing a new basis of accounting. This new basis of accounting is referred to as the "successor basis," while the historical basis of accounting is referred to as the "predecessor basis." Financial statements included herein for periods prior and subsequent to the Acquisition Date are labeled "predecessor" and "successor," respectively. Purchase Price Allocation and Goodwill -- Preliminary The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using management's best estimate of their fair values as of the Acquisition Date. The computation of the purchase price and the allocation of the purchase price to the net assets acquired based upon their respective fair values as of July 1, 2005, and the resulting goodwill, as revised, are presented below. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company revised the purchase price allocation as a result of reviews of the Company's underwriting criteria performed in order to refine the estimate of fair values of assumed future policy benefit liabilities. As a result of these reviews and actuarial analyses, and to be consistent with MetLife's reserving methodologies, the Company increased its estimate of the fair value of liabilities relating to a specific group of acquired life insurance policies. Consequently, the fair value of future policy benefits assumed increased by $360 million, net of the related deferred tax assets of $126 million, for a net change of $234 million. The Company expects to complete its reviews and, if required, further refine its estimate of the fair value of such liabilities by June 30, 2006. Additionally, the Company received updated information regarding the fair values of certain assets and liabilities such as its investments in other limited partnerships, mortgage and consumer loans, other assets and other liabilities resulting in a change in the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired, net of their related deferred tax effects, of $28 million. These adjustments resulted in a reduction of the total net fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of $262 million from those initially estimated. Based upon MetLife's method of attributing the purchase price to the entities acquired, the portion of Travelers' purchase price attributed to the Company was decreased by $220 million resulting in an increase in goodwill of $42 million.

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The fair value of certain other assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including goodwill, may be further adjusted during the allocation period due to finalization of the purchase price to be paid to Citigroup as noted previously, agreement between Citigroup and MetLife as to the tax basis purchase price to be allocated to the acquired subsidiaries, and receipt of information regarding the estimation of certain fair values.

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) flows from the life insurance and annuity contracts in-force at the Acquisition Date. VOBA is based on actuarially determined projections, by each block of business, of future policy and contract charges, premiums, mortality and morbidity, separate account performance, surrenders, operating expenses, investment returns and other factors. Actual experience on the purchased business may vary from these projections. If estimated gross profits or premiums differ from expectations, the amortization of VOBA is adjusted to reflect actual experience. The value of the other identifiable intangibles reflects the estimated fair value of the Company's distribution agreements and customer relationships acquired at July 1, 2005 and will be amortized in relation to the expected economic benefits of the agreements. If actual experience under the distribution agreements or with customer relationships differs from expectations, the amortization of these intangibles will be adjusted to reflect actual experience. The use of discount rates was necessary to establish the fair value of VOBA, as well as the other identifiable intangible assets. In selecting the appropriate discount rates, management considered the calculated weighted average cost of capital, as well as the weighted average cost of capital required by market participants. A discount rate of 11.5% was used to value these intangible assets. The fair value of business acquired, distribution agreements and customer relationships acquired are as follows: [Enlarge/Download Table] SUCCESSOR ------------- WEIGHTED AVERAGE JULY 1, 2005 AMORTIZATION PERIOD ------------- ------------------- (IN MILLIONS) Value of business acquired............................... $3,490 16 years Value of distribution agreements and customer relationships acquired................................. 73 16 years ------ Total value of intangible assets acquired, excluding goodwill............................................ $3,563 16 years ====== The estimated future amortization of the value of business acquired, distribution agreements and customer relationships acquired from 2006 to 2010 is as follows: [Download Table] (IN MILLIONS) 2006........................................................ $322 2007........................................................ $316 2008........................................................ $300 2009........................................................ $282 2010........................................................ $262 2.

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) contemplation of the Acquisition. Primerica is reported in discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 15. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of (i) the Company; (ii) partnerships and joint ventures in which the Company has control; and (iii) variable interest entities ("VIEs") for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the general account for 2005 and 2004 include amounts related to certain separate accounts previously reported in separate account assets and liabilities. See "-- Application of Recent Accounting Pronouncements." Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Minority interest related to consolidated entities included in other liabilities was $180 million and $216 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. As described more fully in Note 1, the application of purchase accounting resulted in the establishment of a new basis of accounting. Consequently, all periods prior and subsequent to the Acquisition Date are labeled "predecessor" and "successor," respectively. As such periods are not prepared on a consistent basis, the six month period and the years prior to the Acquisition are presented separately from the six month period subsequent to the Acquisition. Certain amounts in the predecessor consolidated financial statements for periods prior to July 1, 2005 have been reclassified to conform with the presentation of the successor. Significant reclassifications to the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 are as follows: (i) securities previously reported in other invested assets are now reported in equity securities; (ii) real estate and real estate joint ventures previously reported in other invested assets are now reported in real estate and real estate joint ventures held-for-investment; (iii) corporate joint ventures that were previously reported in other invested assets are now reported in other limited partnership interests; (iv) positive derivative revaluation previously reported in other assets are now reported in other invested assets; (v) reinsurance recoverables are now reported in premiums and other receivables; (vi) VOBA previously reported in other assets is now reported in deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC"); (vii) policy and contract claim liabilities previously reported in contractholder funds are now reported in other policyholder funds; (viii) balances on investment-type contracts previously reported in contractholder funds are now reported in policyholder account balances; (ix) deferred sales inducements previously reported as part of DAC, are now reported in other assets; (x) trading securities sold and not yet purchased are now reported in other liabilities; and (xi) deferred profits previously reported as other liabilities are now reported in other policyholder funds. Reclassifications to the consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, were primarily related to certain reinsurance and other revenues previously reported in general and administrative expenses which are now reported in other revenues. In addition, amortization of DAC is now reported in other expenses. The consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 have been presented using the indirect method. Reclassifications made to the consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 primarily related to investment-type policy activity previously reported as cash flows from operating activities which are now reported as cash flows from financing activities. In addition, net changes in payables for securities loaned transactions were reclassified from cash flows from investing activities to cash flows from financing activities and accrued withdrawn benefits were reclassified from cash flows from financing activities to cash flows from operating activities. Additionally, the statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2005 has been restated to include the cash flows of discontinued operations, which were previously excluded from that statement.

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) SUMMARY OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to adopt accounting policies and make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. The most critical estimates include those used in determining: (i) investment impairments; (ii) the fair value of investments in the absence of quoted market values; (iii) application of the consolidation rules to certain investments; (iv) the fair value of and accounting for derivatives; (v) the capitalization and amortization of DAC and the establishment and amortization of VOBA; (vi) the measurement of goodwill and related impairment, if any; (vii) the liability for future policyholder benefits; (viii) accounting for reinsurance transactions; and (ix) the liability for litigation and regulatory matters. The application of purchase accounting requires the use of estimation techniques in determining the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed -- the most significant of which relate to the aforementioned critical estimates. In applying these policies, management makes subjective and complex judgments that frequently require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. Many of these policies, estimates and related judgments are common in the insurance and financial services industries; others are specific to the Company's businesses and operations. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Investments The Company's principal investments are in fixed maturities, trading securities, mortgage and consumer loans, other limited partnerships and real estate joint ventures, all of which are exposed to three primary sources of investment risk: credit, interest rate and market valuation. The financial statement risks are those associated with the recognition of impairments and income, as well as the determination of fair values. The assessment of whether impairments have occurred is based on management's case-by-case evaluation of the underlying reasons for the decline in fair value. Management considers a wide range of factors about the security issuer and uses its best judgment in evaluating the cause of the decline in the estimated fair value of the security and in assessing the prospects for near-term recovery. Inherent in management's evaluation of the security are assumptions and estimates about the operations of the issuer and its future earnings potential. Considerations used by the Company in the impairment evaluation process include, but are not limited to: (i) the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been below cost or amortized cost; (ii) the potential for impairments of securities when the issuer is experiencing significant financial difficulties; (iii) the potential for impairments in an entire industry sector or sub-sector; (iv) the potential for impairments in certain economically depressed geographic locations; (v) the potential for impairments of securities where the issuer, series of issuers or industry has suffered a catastrophic type of loss or has exhausted natural resources; (vi) the Company's ability and intent to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of its value to an amount equal to or greater than cost or amortized cost; (vii) unfavorable changes in forecasted cash flows on asset-backed securities; and (viii) other subjective factors, including concentrations and information obtained from regulators and rating agencies. In addition, the earnings on certain investments are dependent upon market conditions, which could result in prepayments and changes in amounts to be earned due to changing interest rates or equity markets. The determination of fair values in the absence of quoted market values is based on: (i) valuation methodologies; (ii) securities the Company deems to be comparable; and (iii) assumptions deemed appropriate given the circumstances. The use of different methodologies and assumptions may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. In addition, the Company enters into certain structured investment transactions, real estate joint ventures and limited partnerships for which the Company may be deemed to be the primary beneficiary and, therefore, may be required to consolidate such investments. The accounting rules for the determination of the primary beneficiary are complex and require evaluation of the contractual rights and obligations associated with each F-14

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) party involved in the entity, an estimate of the entity's expected losses and expected residual returns and the allocation of such estimates to each party. Derivatives The Company enters into freestanding derivative transactions primarily to manage the risk associated with variability in cash flows or changes in fair values related to the Company's financial assets and liabilities. The Company also uses derivative instruments to hedge its currency exposure associated with net investments in certain foreign operations. The Company also purchases investment securities, issues certain insurance policies and engages in certain reinsurance contracts that have embedded derivatives. The associated financial statement risk is the volatility in net income which can result from (i) changes in fair value of derivatives not qualifying as accounting hedges; (ii) ineffectiveness of designated hedges; and (iii) counterparty default. In addition, there is a risk that embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation are not identified and reported at fair value in the consolidated financial statements. Accounting for derivatives is complex, as evidenced by significant authoritative interpretations of the primary accounting standards which continue to evolve, as well as the significant judgments and estimates involved in determining fair value in the absence of quoted market values. These estimates are based on valuation methodologies and assumptions deemed appropriate under the circumstances. Such assumptions include estimated volatility and interest rates used in the determination of fair value where quoted market values are not available. The use of different assumptions may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs and Value of Business Acquired The Company incurs significant costs in connection with acquiring new and renewal insurance business. These costs, which vary with and are primarily related to the production of that business, are deferred. The recovery of DAC and VOBA is dependent upon the future profitability of the related business. The amount of future profit is dependent principally on investment returns in excess of the amounts credited to policyholders, mortality, morbidity, 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 are most likely to impact the rate of amortization of such costs. The aforementioned factors enter into management's estimates of gross profits, which generally are used to amortize such costs. VOBA reflects the estimated fair value of in-force contracts in a life insurance company acquisition and represents the portion of the purchase price that is allocated to the value of the right to receive future cash flows from the insurance and annuity contracts in-force at the acquisition date. VOBA is based on actuarially determined projections, by each block of business, of future policy and contract charges, premiums, mortality and morbidity, separate account performance, surrenders, operating expenses, investment returns and other factors. Actual experience on the purchased business may vary from these projections. Revisions to estimates result in changes to the amounts expensed in the reporting period in which the revisions are made and could result in the impairment of the asset and a charge to income if estimated future gross profits are less than amounts deferred. In addition, the Company utilizes the reversion to the mean assumption, a common industry practice, in its determination of the amortization of DAC and VOBA. This practice assumes that the expectation for long-term appreciation in equity markets is not changed by minor short-term market fluctuations, but that it does change when large interim deviations have occurred. Goodwill Goodwill is the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or circumstances, such as adverse changes in the business climate, indicate that there may be justification for conducting an interim test. Impairment testing is performed using the fair value approach, which requires the use of estimates and judgment, at the "reporting F-15

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) unit" level. A reporting unit is the operating segment, or a business that is one level below the operating segment if discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by management at that level. For purposes of goodwill impairment testing, goodwill within Corporate & Other is allocated to reporting units within the Company's business segments. If the carrying value of a reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its fair value, the excess is recognized as an impairment and recorded as a charge against net income. The fair values of the reporting units are determined using a market multiple or discounted cash flow model. The critical estimates necessary in determining fair value are projected earnings, comparative market multiples and the discount rate. Liability for Future Policy Benefits The Company establishes liabilities for amounts payable under insurance policies, including traditional life insurance, traditional annuities and non-medical health insurance. Generally, amounts are payable over an extended period of time and 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, expenses, persistency, investment returns and inflation. Utilizing these assumptions, liabilities are established on a block of business basis. Differences between actual experience and the assumptions used in pricing these policies and in the establishment of liabilities result in variances in profit and could result in losses. The effects of changes in such estimated liabilities are included in the results of operations in the period in which the changes occur. Reinsurance The Company enters into reinsurance transactions as a purchaser of reinsurance. 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 previously. Additionally, for each of its reinsurance contracts, the Company must determine if the contract provides indemnification against loss or liability relating to insurance risk, in accordance with applicable accounting standards. The Company must review all contractual features, particularly those that may limit the amount of insurance risk to which the reinsurer is subject or features that delay the timely reimbursement of claims. If the Company determines that a reinsurance contract does not expose the reinsurer to a reasonable possibility of a significant loss from insurance risk, the Company records the contract using the deposit method of accounting. Litigation The Company is a party to a number of legal actions and regulatory investigations. Given the inherent unpredictability of these matters, it is difficult to estimate the impact on the Company's consolidated financial position. On a quarterly and annual basis, the Company reviews relevant information with respect to liabilities for litigation, regulatory investigations and litigation-related contingencies to be reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The review includes senior legal and financial personnel. Estimates of possible additional losses or ranges of loss for particular matters cannot in the ordinary course be made with a reasonable degree of certainty. The limitations of available data and uncertainty regarding numerous variables make it difficult to estimate liabilities. Liabilities are established when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. 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 F-16

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) not be estimated as of December 31, 2005. Furthermore, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain of the Company's litigation and regulatory investigations, or the use of different assumptions in the determination of amounts recorded could have a material effect upon the Company's consolidated net income or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Investments The Company's fixed maturity and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at their estimated fair value. Unrealized investment gains and losses on securities are recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income or loss, net of policyholder related amounts and deferred income taxes. The cost of fixed maturity and equity securities is adjusted for impairments in value deemed to be other-than-temporary in the period in which the determination is made. These adjustments are recorded as investment losses. The assessment of whether such impairment has occurred is based on management's case-by-case evaluation of the underlying reasons for the decline in fair value. Management considers a wide range of factors, as described in "--Summary of Critical Accounting Estimates--Investments," 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. The Company's review of its fixed maturities and equity securities for impairments also includes an analysis of the total gross unrealized losses by three categories of securities: (i) securities where the estimated fair value had declined and remained below cost or amortized cost by less than 20%; (ii) securities where the estimated fair value had declined and remained below cost or amortized cost by 20% or more for less than six months; and (iii) securities where the estimated fair value had declined and remained below cost or amortized cost by 20% or more for six months or greater. Investment gains and losses on sales of securities are determined on a specific identification basis. All security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Amortization of premium and accretion of discount on fixed maturity securities is recorded using the effective interest method. Mortgage and consumer loans are stated at amortized cost, net of valuation allowances. Loans are considered to be impaired when it is probable that, based upon current information and events, the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Valuation allowances are established for the excess carrying value of the loan over the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate, the value of the loan's collateral or the loan's market value if the loan is being sold. The Company also establishes allowances for loan loss when a loss contingency exists for pools of loans with similar characteristics, for example, mortgage loans based on similar property types and loan to value risk factors. A loss contingency exists when the likelihood that a future event will occur is probable based on past events. Changes in valuation allowances are included in net investment gains and losses. Interest income earned on impaired loans is accrued on the principal amount of the loan based on the loan's contractual interest rate. However, interest ceases to be accrued for loans on which interest is generally more than 60 days past due and/or where the collection of interest is not considered probable. Cash receipts on impaired loans are recorded as a reduction of the recorded investment. Real estate held-for-investment, including related improvements, is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset (typically 20 to 55 years). Once the Company identifies a property that is expected to be sold within one year and commences a firm plan for marketing the property, the Company, if applicable, classifies the property as held-for-sale and reports the related net investment income and any resulting investment gains and losses as F-17

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) discontinued operations. Real estate held-for-sale is stated at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value less expected disposition costs. Real estate is not depreciated while it is classified as held-for-sale. Cost of real estate held-for-investment is adjusted for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Impaired real estate is written down to estimated fair value with the impairment loss being included in net investment gains and losses. Impairment losses are based upon the estimated fair value of real estate, which is generally computed using the present value of expected future cash flows from the real estate discounted at a rate commensurate with the underlying risks. Real estate acquired upon foreclosure of commercial and agricultural mortgage and consumer loans is recorded at the lower of estimated fair value or the carrying value of the mortgage loan at the date of foreclosure. Policy loans are stated at unpaid principal balances. Short-term investments are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Other invested assets consist primarily of the fair value of the Company's freestanding derivative instruments. In 2004, other invested assets also included the Company's investment in the preferred stock of Citigroup. See Note 10. Prior to the Acquisition, the Company used the equity method of accounting for all real estate joint ventures and other limited partnership interests in which it had an ownership interest but did not control, including those in which it had a minor equity investment or virtually no influence over operations. Subsequent to the Acquisition, the Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments in real estate joint ventures and other limited partnership interests in which it has more than a minor ownership interest or more than minor influence over operations, but does not have a controlling interest and is not the primary beneficiary. The Company uses the cost method of accounting for real estate joint ventures and other limited partnership interests in which it has a minor ownership investment and virtually no influence over operations. Trading Securities Trading securities are recorded at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in net investment income. Derivative Financial Instruments Derivatives are financial instruments whose values are derived from interest rates, foreign exchange rates, or other financial indices. Derivatives may be exchange traded or contracted in the over-the-counter market. The Company uses a variety of derivatives, including swaps, forwards, futures and option contracts, to manage its various risks. Additionally, the Company enters into income generation and replication derivatives as permitted by its Derivatives Use Plans approved by the applicable state insurance departments. Freestanding derivatives are carried on the Company's consolidated balance sheet either as assets within other invested assets or as liabilities within other liabilities at fair value as determined by quoted market prices or through the use of pricing models. Values can be affected by changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, financial indices, credit spreads, market volatility and liquidity. Values can also be affected by changes in estimates and assumptions used in pricing models. If a derivative is not designated as an accounting hedge or its use in managing risk does not qualify for hedge accounting pursuant to SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 133"), as amended, changes in the fair value of the derivative are reported in net investment gains (losses). 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 F-18

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) designation of the hedge as either (i) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment ("fair value hedge"); (ii) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability ("cash flow hedge"); or (iii) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. In this documentation, the Company sets forth how the hedging instrument is expected to hedge the designated risks related to the hedged item and sets forth the method that will be used to retrospectively and prospectively assess the hedging instrument's effectiveness and the method which will be used to measure ineffectiveness. A derivative designated as a hedging instrument must be assessed as being highly effective in offsetting the designated risk of the hedged item. Hedge effectiveness is formally assessed at inception and periodically throughout the life of the designated hedging relationship. Under a fair value hedge, changes in the fair value of the hedging derivative, including amounts measured as ineffectiveness, and changes in the fair value of the hedged item related to the designated risk being hedged, are reported within net investment gains (losses). The fair values of the hedging derivatives are exclusive of any accruals that are separately reported in the consolidated statements of income within interest income or interest expense to match the location of the hedged item. Under a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the hedging derivative measured as effective are reported within other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholder's equity, and the deferred gains or losses on the derivative are reclassified into the consolidated statement of income when the Company's earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the hedged item. Changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument measured as ineffectiveness are reported within net investment gains (losses). The fair values of the hedging derivatives are exclusive of any accruals that are separately reported in the consolidated statement of income within interest income or interest expense to match the location of the hedged item. In a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, changes in the fair value of the hedging derivative that are measured as effective are reported within other comprehensive income (loss) consistent with the translation adjustment for the hedged net investment in the foreign operation. Changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument measured as ineffectiveness are reported within net investment gains (losses). The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when: (i) it is determined that the derivative is no longer highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of a hedged item; (ii) the derivative expires, is sold, terminated, or exercised; (iii) it is no longer probable that the hedged forecasted transaction will occur; (iv) a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment; or (v) the derivative is de-designated as a hedging instrument. When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is determined that the derivative is not highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of a hedged item, the derivative continues to be carried on the consolidated balance sheet at its fair value, with changes in fair value recognized currently in net investment gains (losses). The carrying value of the hedged recognized asset or liability under a fair value hedge is no longer adjusted for changes in its fair value due to the hedged risk, and the cumulative adjustment to its carrying value is amortized into income over the remaining life of the hedged item. Provided the hedged forecasted transaction is still probable of occurrence, the changes in fair value of derivatives recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) related to discontinued cash flow hedges are released into the consolidated statement of income when the Company's earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the hedged item. When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is no longer probable that the forecasted transactions will occur by the end of the specified time period or the hedged item no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment, the derivative continues to be carried on the consolidated balance sheet at its fair value, with changes in fair value recognized currently in net investment gains (losses). Any asset or liability associated F-19

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) with a recognized firm commitment is derecognized from the consolidated balance sheet, and recorded currently in net investment gains (losses). Deferred gains and losses of a derivative recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) pursuant to the cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction are recognized immediately in net investment gains (losses). In all other situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued, the derivative is carried at its fair value on the consolidated balance sheet, with changes in its fair value recognized in the current period as net investment gains (losses). The Company is also a party to financial instruments that contain terms which are deemed to be embedded derivatives. The Company assesses each identified embedded derivative to determine whether it is required to be bifurcated under SFAS 133. If the instrument would not be accounted for in its entirety at fair value and it is determined that the terms of the embedded derivative are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract, and that a separate instrument with the same terms would qualify as a derivative instrument, the embedded derivative is bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for as a freestanding derivative. Such embedded derivatives are carried on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value with the host contract and changes in their fair value are reported currently in net investment gains (losses). If the Company is unable to properly identify and measure an embedded derivative for separation from its host contract, the entire contract is carried on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the current period in net investment gains (losses). Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Certain securities of $208 million were reclassified to cash equivalents from short-term investments due to the revised term to maturity at the Acquisition Date. Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs and Value of Business Acquired DAC represents the costs of acquiring new and renewal insurance business that vary with, and are primarily related to, the production of that business are deferred. Such costs consist principally of commissions and agency and policy issue expenses. VOBA represents the present value of estimated future profits to be generated from existing insurance contracts in-force at the Acquisition Date. Generally, DAC and VOBA are amortized in proportion to the present value of estimated gross profits from investment, mortality, expense margins and surrender charges. Interest rates used to compute the present value of estimated gross profits are based on rates in effect at the inception or acquisition of the contracts. Actual gross profits can vary from management's estimates resulting in increases or decreases in the rate of amortization. Management utilizes the reversion to the mean assumption, a common industry practice, in its determination of the amortization of DAC. This practice assumes that the expectation for long-term equity investment appreciation is not changed by minor short-term market fluctuations, but that it does change when large interim deviations have occurred. Management periodically updates these estimates and evaluates the recoverability of DAC. When appropriate, management revises its assumptions of the estimated gross margins or profits of these contracts, and the cumulative amortization is re-estimated and adjusted by a cumulative charge or credit to current operations. DAC and VOBA for non-participating traditional life, non-medical health and annuity policies with life contingencies are amortized in proportion to anticipated premiums. Assumptions as to anticipated premiums are made at the date of policy issuance or acquisition and are consistently applied during the lives of the contracts. Deviations from estimated experience are included in operations when they occur. For these contracts, the amortization period is typically the estimated life of the policy. F-20

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Prior to the Acquisition, the Company amortized its deferred and payout annuity contracts employing a level effective yield methodology, whereas subsequent to the Acquisition, the Company amortizes DAC for deferred annuity contracts in proportion to anticipated gross profits and payout annuity contracts in proportion to anticipated premiums. Policy acquisition costs related to internally replaced contracts are expensed at the date of replacement. Sales Inducements The Company has two different types of sales inducements which are included in other assets: (i) the policyholder receives a bonus whereby the policyholder's initial account balance is increased by an amount equal to a specified percentage of the customer's deposit; and (ii) the policyholder receives a higher interest rate using a dollar cost averaging method than would have been received based on the normal general account interest rate credited. The Company defers sales inducements and amortizes them over the life of the policy using the same methodology and assumptions used to amortize DAC. Goodwill Goodwill is the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired and is as follows: [Download Table] SUCCESSOR ----------------- DECEMBER 31, 2005 ----------------- (IN MILLIONS) BALANCE, END OF PREVIOUS PERIOD............................. $196 Elimination of historical goodwill.......................... (196) Effect of push down accounting of MetLife's purchase price on TIC's net assets acquired (See Note 1)................. 856 ---- BALANCE, BEGINNING AND END OF PERIOD........................ $856 ==== Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or circumstances, such as adverse changes in the business climate, indicate that there may be justification for conducting an interim test. Impairment testing is performed using the fair value approach, which requires the use of estimates and judgment, at the "reporting unit" level. A reporting unit is the operating segment, or a business one level below that operating segment if discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by management at that level. For purposes of goodwill impairment testing, goodwill within Corporate & Other is allocated to reporting units within the Company's business segments. If the carrying value of a reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its fair value, the excess is recognized as an impairment and recorded as a charge against net income. The fair values of the reporting units are determined using a market multiple or a discounted cash flow model. Liability for Future Policy Benefits and Policyholder Account Balances Overview Future policy benefit liabilities for non-participating traditional life insurance policies are equal to the aggregate of the present value of future benefit payments and related expenses less the present value of future net premiums. Assumptions as to mortality and persistency are based upon the Company's experience when the basis of the liability is established. For contracts in-force at the time of the Acquisition, the Company revalued the liabilities using updated assumptions as to interest rates, mortality, persistency and provisions for adverse deviation which were current as of the time of the Acquisition. The interest rate for future policy benefit liabilities on non-participating traditional life insurance on the successor basis is approximately 4% at F-21

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) December 31, 2005. Interest rates for the future policy benefit liabilities on the predecessor basis ranged from 3% to 7% at December 31, 2004. Future policy benefit liabilities for individual and group traditional fixed annuities after annuitization are equal to the present value of expected future payments. The interest rates used in establishing such liabilities on the successor basis range from 4% to 6% at December 31, 2005. The interest rates for such liabilities on the predecessor basis ranged from 2% to 9% at December 31, 2004. Future policy benefit liabilities for non-medical health insurance are calculated using the net level premium method and assumptions as to future morbidity, withdrawals and interest, which provide a margin for adverse deviation. The interest rate used in establishing such liabilities on the successor basis is approximately 4% at December 31, 2005. The interest rates for such liabilities on the predecessor basis ranged from 7% to 8% at December 31, 2004. Future policy benefit liabilities for disabled lives are estimated using the present value of benefits method and experience assumptions as to claim terminations, expenses and interest. The interest rate used in establishing such liabilities on the successor basis is approximately 4% at December 31, 2005. The interest rates for such liabilities on the predecessor basis ranged from 7% to 8% at December 31, 2004. Liabilities for unpaid claim expenses for the Company's workers' compensation business are included in future policyholder benefits and are estimated based upon the Company's historical experience and other actuarial assumptions that consider the effects of current developments, anticipated trends and risk management programs, reduced for anticipated subrogation. The effects of changes in such estimated liabilities are included in the results of operations in the period in which the changes occur. Policyholder account balances relate to investment-type contracts and universal life-type policies. Investment-type contracts principally include traditional individual fixed annuities in the accumulation phase and non-variable group annuity contracts. Policyholder account balances are equal to (i) policy account values, which consist of an accumulation of gross premium payments; (ii) credited interest, ranging from 0.3% to 13% on the successor basis at December 31, 2005 and 1% to 8% on the predecessor basis at December 31, 2004, less expenses, mortality charges, and withdrawals; and (iii) fair value purchase accounting adjustments relating to the Acquisition. Product Liability Classification Changes Resulting from the Acquisition Prior to the Acquisition, the Company determined the classification of its single premium immediate annuities and structured settlements as investment or insurance contracts at the contract level. As such, single premium immediate annuities and structured settlements with life contingent payments were classified and accounted for as "limited pay" long-duration insurance contracts due to their significant mortality risk. The liability associated with these contracts was reported in future policyholder benefits on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. Contracts without life contingencies were classified as investment contracts and were reported in policyholder account balances. Subsequent to the Acquisition, the Company classifies single premium immediate annuities and structured settlements at the block of business level which combines those contracts with life contingencies and those contracts without life contingencies. In the aggregate, both the single premium immediate annuities and structured settlements contain significant mortality risk. Therefore, the Company accounts for all single premium immediate annuities and structured settlements as long-duration insurance contracts and reports them as future policyholder benefits. With respect to immediate participation guarantee contracts, contracts may have funds associated with future life contingent payments on behalf of specific lives, as well as unallocated funds not yet associated with F-22

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) specific lives or future payments. Prior to the Acquisition, the Company classified and reported funds within a contract that were associated with life contingent payments in future policyholder benefits on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. All other funds held with respect to those contracts were reported in policyholder account balances on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. Subsequent to the Acquisition, the Company evaluates the immediate participation guarantee contracts at the aggregate level. Based upon the Company's current evaluation, all immediate participation guarantee contracts are accounted for as universal life contracts and are being reported in policyholder account balances on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. Prior to the Acquisition, the Company recorded its deferred annuity contracts, including the guaranteed minimum death benefit ("GMDB") features, as investment contracts. Subsequent to the Acquisition, the Company records such contracts as insurance products. As a result, the Company has established a future policyholder benefit liability for GMDBs in accordance with Statement of Position ("SOP") 03-1, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate Accounts ("SOP 03-1"). Guarantees The Company establishes future policy benefit liabilities for minimum death and income benefit guarantees relating to certain annuity contracts and secondary and paid up guarantees relating to certain life policies as follows: - Annuity guaranteed death benefit liabilities are determined by estimating the expected value of death benefits in excess of the projected account balance and recognizing the excess ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments. The Company regularly evaluates estimates used and adjusts the additional liability balance, with a related charge or credit to benefit expense, if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised. The assumptions used in estimating the liabilities are consistent with those used for amortizing DAC, including the mean reversion assumption. The assumptions of investment performance and volatility are consistent with the historical experience of the capital markets. The benefits used in calculating the liabilities are based on the average benefits payable over a range of scenarios. - Liabilities for universal and variable life secondary guarantees and paid-up guarantees are determined by estimating the expected value of death benefits payable when the account balance is projected to be zero and recognizing those benefits ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments. The Company regularly evaluates estimates used and adjusts the additional liability balances, with a related charge or credit to benefit expense, if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised. The assumptions used in estimating the secondary and paid up guarantee liabilities are consistent with those used for amortizing DAC. The assumptions of investment performance and volatility for variable products are consistent with the historical experience of the capital markets. The benefits used in calculating the liabilities are based on the average benefits payable over a range of scenarios. The Company offers certain variable annuity products with guaranteed minimum benefit riders as follows: - Guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit riders ("GMWB"s) guarantee a policyholder return of the purchase payment plus a bonus amount via partial withdrawals, even if the account value is reduced to zero, provided that the policyholder's cumulative withdrawals in a contract year do not exceed a certain limit. The initial guaranteed withdrawal amount is equal to the initial benefit base as defined in the contract. When an additional purchase payment is made, the guaranteed withdrawal amount is set F-23

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) equal to the greater of (i) the guaranteed withdrawal amount before the purchase payment; or (ii) the benefit base after the purchase payment. The benefit base increases by additional purchase payments plus a bonus amount and decreases by benefits paid and/or withdrawal amounts. After a specified period of time, the benefit base may also change as a result of an optional reset as defined in the contract. The benefit base can be reset to the account balance on the date of the reset if greater than the benefit base before the reset. The GMWB is an embedded derivative, which is measured at fair value separately from the host variable annuity product. - Guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit riders ("GMAB"s) provide the contractholder with a minimum accumulation of their purchase payments deposited within a specific time period, adjusted proportionately for withdrawals, after a specified period of time determined at the time of issuance of the variable annuity contract. The GMAB is also an embedded derivative, which is measured at fair value separately from the host variable annuity product. The fair value of the GMWBs and GMABs is calculated based on actuarial and capital market assumptions related to the projected cash flows, including benefits and related contract charges, over the lives of the contracts, incorporating expectations concerning policyholder behavior. In measuring the fair value of GMWBs and GMABs, the Company attributes a portion of the fees collected from the policyholder equal to the present value of expected future guaranteed minimum withdrawal and accumulation benefits. GMWBs and GMABs are reported in policyholder account balances and the changes in fair value are reported in net investment gains (losses). Any additional fees represent "excess" fees and are reported in universal life and investment-type product policy fees. Other Policyholder Funds Other policyholder funds includes policy and contract claims and unearned policy and contract fees. Recognition of Insurance Revenue and Related Benefits Premiums related to traditional life and annuity policies with life contingencies are recognized as revenues when due. Benefits and expenses are provided against such revenues to recognize profits over the estimated lives of the policies. When premiums are due over a significantly shorter period than the period over which benefits are provided, any excess profit is deferred and recognized into operations in a constant relationship to insurance in-force or, for annuities, the amount of expected future policy benefit payments. Premiums related to non-medical health and disability contracts are recognized on a pro rata basis over the applicable contract term. Prior to the Acquisition, deferred revenues on life and annuity policies with life contingencies were reported in other liabilities, whereas subsequent to the Acquisition, these amounts are included in other policyholder funds on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Deposits related to universal life-type and investment-type products are credited to policyholder account balances. Revenues from such contracts consist of amounts assessed against policyholder account balances for mortality, policy administration and surrender charges and are recorded in universal life and investment-type product policy fees in the period in which services are provided. Amounts that are charged to operations include interest credited and benefit claims incurred in excess of related policyholder account balances. Other Revenues Other revenues include fees and broker-dealer commissions. Such fees and commissions are recognized in the period in which services are performed. Other revenues also include changes in account value relating to corporate-owned life insurance ("COLI"). Under certain COLI contracts, if the Company reports certain unlikely adverse results in its consolidated financial statements, withdrawals would not be immediately F-24

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) available and would be subject to market value adjustment, which could result in a reduction of the account value. Federal Income Taxes The future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities are measured at the balance sheet dates and are recorded as deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are established when management assesses, based on available information, that it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be realized. For federal income tax purposes, an election under Internal Revenue Code Section 338 was made by the Company's parent, MetLife. As a result of this election, the income tax bases in the acquired assets and liabilities were adjusted as of the Acquisition Date resulting in a change to the related deferred income taxes. See Notes 1 and 7. Reinsurance The Company has reinsured certain of its life insurance contracts with other insurance companies under various agreements. For reinsurance contracts that transfer sufficient underwriting risk, reinsurance premiums, commissions, expense reimbursements, benefits and liabilities related to reinsured long-duration contracts are accounted for over the life of the underlying reinsured contracts using assumptions consistent with those used to account for the underlying contracts. The cost of reinsurance related to short-duration contracts is accounted for over the reinsurance contract period. Amounts due from reinsurers, for both short- and long-duration arrangements, are estimated based upon assumptions consistent with those used in establishing the liabilities related to the underlying reinsured contracts. Policy and contract liabilities are reported gross of reinsurance credits. DAC and VOBA are reduced by amounts recovered under reinsurance contracts. Amounts received from reinsurers for policy administration are reported in other revenues. 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. Effective with the adoption of SOP 03-1 on January 1, 2004, the Company reports separately, as assets and liabilities, investments held in separate accounts and liabilities of the separate accounts if (i) such separate accounts are legally recognized; (ii) assets supporting the contract liabilities are legally insulated from the Company's general account liabilities; (iii) investments are directed by the contractholder; and (iv) all investment performance, net of contract fees and assessments, is passed through to the contractholder. The Company reports separate account assets meeting such criteria at their fair value. Investment performance (including investment income, net investment gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses)) and the corresponding amounts credited to contractholders of such separate accounts are offset within the same line in the consolidated statements of income. In connection with the adoption of SOP 03-1, separate account assets with a fair value of $500 million were reclassified to general account investments with a corresponding transfer of separate account liabilities to future policy benefits and policyholder account balances. See "-- Application of Recent Accounting Pronouncements." The Company's revenues reflect fees charged to the separate accounts, including mortality charges, risk charges, policy administration fees, investment management fees and surrender charges. Separate accounts F-25

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) not meeting the above criteria are combined on a line-by-line basis with the Company's general account assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Discontinued Operations The results of operations of a component of the Company that either has been disposed of or is classified as held-for-sale are reported in discontinued operations if the operations and cash flows of the component have been or will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Company as a result of the disposal transaction and the Company will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction. APPLICATION OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments ("SFAS 155"). SFAS 155 amends SFAS 133 and SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities ("SFAS 140"). SFAS 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole, eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host, if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. In addition, among other changes, SFAS 155 (i) clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS 133; (ii) establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; (iii) clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and (iv) eliminates the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity ("QSPE") from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial interest. SFAS 155 will be applied prospectively and is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. SFAS 155 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The FASB has issued additional guidance relating to derivative financial instruments as follows: - In June 2005, the FASB cleared SFAS 133 Implementation Issue No. B38, Embedded Derivatives: Evaluation of Net Settlement with Respect to the Settlement of a Debt Instrument through Exercise of an Embedded Put Option or Call Option ("Issue B38") and SFAS 133 Implementation Issue No. B39, Embedded Derivatives: Application of Paragraph 13(b) to Call Options That Are Exercisable Only by the Debtor ("Issue B39"). Issue B38 clarified that the potential settlement of a debtor's obligation to a creditor occurring upon exercise of a put or call option meets the net settlement criteria of SFAS No. 133. Issue B39 clarified that an embedded call option, in which the underlying is an interest rate or interest rate index, that can accelerate the settlement of a debt host financial instrument should not be bifurcated and fair valued if the right to accelerate the settlement can be exercised only by the debtor (issuer/borrower) and the investor will recover substantially all of its initial net investment. Issues B38 and B39, which must be adopted as of the first day of the first fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 2005, did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. - Effective July 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 149"). SFAS 149 amended and clarified the accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. Except for certain previously issued and effective guidance, SFAS 149 was effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The F-26

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Company's adoption of SFAS 149 did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. Effective November 9, 2005, the Company prospectively adopted the guidance in FASB Staff Position ("FSP") 140-2, Clarification of the Application of Paragraphs 40(b) and 40(c) of FAS 140 ("FSP 140-2"). FSP 140-2 clarified certain criteria relating to derivatives and beneficial interests when considering whether an entity qualifies as a QSPE. Under FSP 140-2, the criteria must only be met at the date the QSPE issues beneficial interests or when a derivative financial instrument needs to be replaced upon the occurrence of a specified event outside the control of the transferor. FSP 140-2 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In September 2005, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") issued SOP 05-1, Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection with Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts ("SOP 05-1"). SOP 05-1 provides guidance on accounting by insurance enterprises for deferred acquisition costs on internal replacements of insurance and investment contracts other than those specifically described in SFAS No. 97, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Long-Duration Contracts and For Realized Gains and Losses from the Sale of Investments. SOP 05-1 defines an internal replacement as a modification in product benefits, features, rights, or coverages that occurs by the exchange of a contract for a new contract, or by amendment, endorsement, or rider to a contract, or by the election of a feature or coverage within a contract. Under SOP 05-1, modifications that result in a substantially unchanged contract will be accounted for as a continuation of the replaced contract. A replacement contract that is substantially changed will be accounted for as an extinguishment of the replaced contract resulting in a release of unamortized deferred acquisition costs, unearned revenue and deferred sales inducements associated with the replaced contract. The guidance in SOP 05-1 will be applied prospectively and is effective for internal replacements occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SOP 05-1 and does not expect that the pronouncement will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 29 ("SFAS 153"). SFAS 153 amended prior guidance to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaced it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provisions of SFAS 153 were required to be applied prospectively for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 153 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In June 2005, the FASB completed its review of Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments ("EITF 03-1"). EITF 03-1 provides accounting guidance regarding the determination of when an impairment of debt and marketable equity securities and investments accounted for under the cost method should be considered other-than-temporary and recognized in income. EITF 03-1 also requires certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures for debt and marketable equity securities classified as available-for-sale or held-to- maturity under SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities ("SFAS 115"), that are impaired at the balance sheet date but for which an other-than-temporary impairment has not been recognized. The FASB decided not to provide additional guidance on the meaning of other-than- temporary impairment but has issued FSP 115-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments ("FSP 115-1"), which nullifies the accounting guidance on the determination of whether an investment is other-than-temporarily impaired as set forth in EITF 03-1.

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) FSP 115-1, the Company adopted this guidance on a prospective basis, which had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and has provided the required disclosures. In June 2005, the EITF reached consensus on Issue No. 04-5, Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights ("EITF 04-5"). EITF 04-5 provides a framework for determining whether a general partner controls and should consolidate a limited partnership or a similar entity in light of certain rights held by the limited partners. The consensus also provides additional guidance on substantive rights. EITF 04-5 was effective after June 29, 2005 for all newly formed partnerships and for any pre-existing limited partnerships that modified their partnership agreements after that date. The adoption of this provision of EITF 04-5 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. EITF 04-5 must be adopted by January 1, 2006 for all other limited partnerships through a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle recorded in opening equity or it may be applied retrospectively by adjusting prior period financial statements. The adoption of this provision of EITF 04-5 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 ("SFAS 154"). The statement requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements for a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is deemed impracticable. It also requires that a change in the method of depreciation, amortization, or depletion for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate rather than a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 154 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Effective July 1, 2004, the Company adopted EITF Issue No. 03-16, Accounting for Investments in Limited Liability Companies ("EITF 03-16"). EITF 03-16 provides guidance regarding whether a limited liability company should be viewed as similar to a corporation or similar to a partnership for purposes of determining whether a noncontrolling investment should be accounted for using the cost method or the equity method of accounting. EITF 03-16 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted SOP 03-1 as interpreted by a Technical Practice Aid issued by the AICPA. SOP 03-1 provides guidance on (i) the classification and valuation of long-duration contract liabilities; (ii) the accounting for sales inducements; and (iii) separate account presentation and valuation. The following summarizes the more significant aspects of the Company's adoption of SOP 03-1 prior to the Acquisition, effective January 1, 2004: Separate Account Presentation. SOP 03-1 requires separate account products to meet certain criteria in order to be treated as separate account products. For products not meeting the specified criteria, these assets and liabilities are included in the reporting entity's general account. The Company's adoption of SOP 03-1 resulted in the consolidation on the Company's balance sheet at January 1, 2004 of approximately $500 million of investments previously held in separate and variable account assets and approximately $500 million of contractholder funds previously held in separate and variable account liabilities. Variable Annuity Contracts with Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Features. SOP 03-1 requires the reporting entity to categorize the contract as either an insurance or investment contract based upon the significance of mortality or morbidity risk. SOP 03-1 provides explicit guidance for calculating a liability for insurance contracts, and provides that the reporting entity does not hold liabilities for investment contracts (i.e., there is no significant mortality risk).

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Liabilities for Universal Life and Variable Universal Life Contracts. SOP 03-1 requires that a liability, in addition to the account balance, be established for certain insurance benefit features provided under universal life and variable universal life products if the amounts assessed against the contract holder each period for the insurance benefit feature are assessed in a manner that is expected to result in profits in earlier years and losses in subsequent years from the insurance benefit function. The Company's universal life and variable universal life products were reviewed to determine whether an additional liability is required under SOP 03-1. The Company determined that SOP 03-1 applied to some of its universal life and variable universal life contracts with these features and established an additional liability of approximately $1 million. Sales Inducements to Contractholders. In accordance with SOP 03-1, the Company defers sales inducements and amortizes them over the life of the policy using the same methodology and assumptions used to amortize DAC. These inducements relate to bonuses on certain products offered by the Company. Effective the third quarter of 2003, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation ("FIN") No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities -- An Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 and its December 2003 revision ("FIN 46(r)"), which includes substantial changes from the original FIN 46. Included in these changes, the calculation of expected losses and expected residual returns has been altered to reduce the impact of decision maker and guarantor fees in the calculation of expected residual returns and expected losses. In addition, the definition of a variable interest has been changed in the revised guidance. FIN 46 and FIN 46(r) change the method of determining whether certain entities, including securitization entities, should be consolidated in the Company's financial statements. An entity is subject to FIN 46 and FIN 46(r) and is called a VIE if it has (i) equity that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties; or (ii) equity investors that cannot make significant decisions about the entity's operations or that do not absorb the expected losses or receive the expected returns of the entity. All other entities are evaluated for consolidation under SFAS No. 94, Consolidation of All Majority-Owned Subsidiaries. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the party involved with the VIE that has a majority of the expected losses or a majority of the expected residual returns or both. The adoption of the provisions of FIN 46(r) during the third quarter of 2003 did not require the Company to consolidate any additional VIEs that were not previously consolidated. Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities ("SFAS 146"). SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recorded and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred rather than at the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan as required by EITF Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring ("EITF 94-3"). As required by SFAS 146, the Company adopted this guidance on a prospective basis which had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. F-29

Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities due to the exercise of prepayment options. The Company makes investments in collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs"). CMOs typically have high credit quality, offer good liquidity, and provide a significant advantage in yield and total return compared to U.S. Treasury securities. The Company's investment strategy is to purchase CMO tranches which are protected against prepayment risk, including planned amortization class and last cash flow tranches. Prepayment protected tranches are preferred because they provide stable cash flows in a variety of interest rate scenarios. The Company does invest in other types of CMO tranches if a careful assessment indicates a favorable risk/return tradeoff. The Company does not purchase residual interests in CMOs. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company held CMOs classified as available-for-sale with a fair value of $7,224 million and $2,395 million, respectively. Approximately 55% and 54% of the Company's CMO holdings were fully collateralized by the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") securities at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In addition, the Company held $3,973 million and $2,359 million of GNMA, FNMA or FHLMC mortgage-backed pass-through securities at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. All of these securities are rated AAA by the major rating agencies.

As of December 31, 2004, $59 million of unrealized losses related to securities with an unrealized loss position less than 20% of cost or amortized cost, which represented 1% of the cost or amortized cost of such securities. As of December 31, 2005, $26 million of unrealized losses related to securities with an unrealized loss position greater than 20% of cost or amortized cost, which represented 38% of the cost or amortized cost of such securities. Of such unrealized losses, all have been in an unrealized loss position for a period of less than six months. As of December 31, 2004, there were no unrealized losses related to securities with an unrealized loss position greater than 20% of cost or amortized cost. As described more fully in Note 2, the Company performs a regular evaluation, on a security-by-security basis, of its investment holdings in accordance with its impairment policy in order to evaluate whether such securities are other-than-temporarily impaired. In connection with the Acquisition, the Company's investment portfolio was revalued in accordance with purchase accounting as of July 1, 2005. The increase in the unrealized losses during 2005 is principally driven by an increase in interest rates since the portfolio revaluation at the Acquisition Date. Based upon the Company's evaluation of the securities in accordance with its impairment policy, the cause of the decline being principally attributable to the general rise in rates during the year, and the Company's intent and ability to hold the fixed income and equity securities with unrealized losses for a period of time sufficient for them to recover, the Company has concluded that the aforementioned securities are not other-than-temporarily impaired. SECURITIES LENDING PROGRAM The Company participates in a securities lending program whereby blocks of securities, which are included in fixed maturity securities, are loaned to third parties, primarily major brokerage firms. The Company requires a minimum of 102% of the fair value of the loaned securities to be separately maintained as collateral for the loans. Securities with a cost or amortized cost of $8,478 million and $2,106 million and an estimated fair value of $8,372 million and $1,918 million were on loan under the program at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Interest rate swaps are used by the Company primarily to reduce market risks from changes in interest rates and to alter interest rate exposure arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities (duration mismatches). In an interest rate swap, the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed rate and floating rate interest amounts as calculated by reference to an agreed notional principal amount. These transactions are entered into pursuant to master agreements that provide for a single net payment to be made by the counterparty at each due date. The Company also enters into basis swaps to better match the cash flows from assets and related liabilities. In a basis swap, both legs of the swap are floating with each based on a different index. Generally, no cash is exchanged at the outset of the contract and no principal payments are made by either party. A single net payment is usually made by one counterparty at each due date. Basis swaps are included in interest rate swaps in the preceding table. Interest rate caps are used by the Company primarily to protect its floating rate liabilities against rises in interest rates above a specified level and against interest rate exposure arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities (duration mismatches). In exchange-traded interest rate (Treasury and swap) and equity futures transactions, the Company agrees to purchase or sell a specified number of contracts, the value of which is determined by the different classes of interest rate and equity securities, and to post variation margin on a daily basis in an amount equal to the difference in the daily market values of those contracts. The Company enters into exchange-traded futures with regulated futures commission merchants that are members of the exchange. Exchange-traded interest rate (Treasury and swap) futures are used primarily to hedge mismatches between the duration of assets in a portfolio and the duration of liabilities supported by those assets, to hedge against changes in value of securities the Company owns or anticipates acquiring and to hedge against changes in interest rates on anticipated liability issuances by replicating Treasury or swap curve performance. The value of interest rate futures is substantially impacted by changes in interest rates and they can be used to modify or hedge existing interest rate risk. Exchange-traded equity futures are used primarily to hedge liabilities embedded in certain variable annuity products offered by the Company. Foreign currency derivatives, including foreign currency swaps, foreign currency forwards and currency option contracts, are used by the Company to reduce the risk from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with its assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. The Company also uses foreign currency forwards to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with certain of its net investments in foreign operations. In a foreign currency swap transaction, the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between one currency and another at a forward exchange rate calculated by reference to an agreed upon principal amount. The principal amount of each currency is exchanged at the inception and termination of the currency swap by each party. In a foreign currency forward transaction, the Company agrees with another party to deliver a specified amount of an identified currency at a specified future date. The price is agreed upon at the time of the contract and payment for such a contract is made in a different currency at the specified future date. The Company enters into currency option contracts that give it the right, but not the obligation, to sell the foreign currency amount in exchange for a functional currency amount within a limited time at a contracted price. The contracts may also be net settled in cash, based on differentials in the foreign exchange rate and the strike price. Currency option contracts are included in options in the preceding table. F-42

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 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 time of exercise and the strike price. Equity index options are included in options in the preceding table. Equity variance swaps are used by the Company primarily to hedge minimum guarantees embedded in certain variable annuity products offered by the Company. In an equity variance swap, the Company agrees with another party to exchange amounts in the future, based on changes in equity volatility over a defined period. Equity variance swaps are included in financial forwards in the preceding table. Certain credit default swaps are used by the Company to hedge against credit-related changes in the value of its investments and to diversify its credit risk exposure in certain portfolios. In a credit default swap transaction, the Company agrees with another party, at specified intervals, to pay a premium to insure credit risk. If a credit event, as defined by the contract, occurs, generally the contract will require the swap to be settled gross by the delivery of par quantities of the referenced investment equal to the specified swap notional in exchange for the payment of cash amounts by the counterparty equal to the par value of the investment surrendered. Credit default swaps are used in replication synthetic asset transactions ("RSATs") to synthetically create investments that are either more expensive to acquire or otherwise unavailable in the cash markets. RSATs are a combination of a derivative and usually a U.S. Treasury or Agency security. RSATs that involve the use of credit default swaps are included in such classification in the preceding table.

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.)

For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the cost of carry for financial futures was ($8) million, ($29) million and ($23) million, respectively. There were no instances in which the Company discontinued fair value hedge accounting due to a hedged firm commitment no longer qualifying as a fair value hedge. CASH FLOW HEDGES The Company designates and accounts for the following as cash flow hedges, when they have met the requirements of SFAS 133: (i) interest rate swaps to convert floating rate investments to fixed rate investments; (ii) interest rate swaps to convert floating rate liabilities into fixed rate liabilities; (iii) foreign currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency cash flow exposure of foreign currency denominated investments and liabilities; (iv) interest rate futures to hedge against changes in value of securities to be acquired; and (v) interest rate futures to hedge against changes in interest rates on liabilities to be issued. For the six months ended December 31, 2005, the Company did not recognize any net investment gains (losses) related to the assessment of hedge ineffectiveness. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, and the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company recognized net investment gains (losses) of ($5) million, $6 million and ($3) million, respectively, which represented the ineffective portion of all cash flow hedges. All components of each derivative's gain or loss were included in the assessment of hedge ineffectiveness. For the six months ended December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005 and for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, there were no instances in which the Company discontinued cash flow hedge accounting because the forecasted transactions did not occur on the anticipated date or in the additional time period permitted by SFAS 133. There were no hedged forecasted transactions, other than the receipt or payment of variable interest payments. F-44

HEDGES OF NET INVESTMENTS IN FOREIGN OPERATIONS The Company uses forward exchange contracts, foreign currency swaps and options to hedge portions of its net investment in foreign operations against adverse movements in exchange rates. The Company measures ineffectiveness on the forward exchange contracts based upon the change in forward rates. There was no ineffectiveness recorded in 2005, 2004 or 2003. The Company's consolidated statements of stockholder's equity for the six months ended December 31, 2005 did not include any gains (losses) related to foreign currency contracts used to hedge its net investments in foreign operations. The Company's consolidated statements of stockholder's equity for the six months ended June 30, 2005, and the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, included gains (losses) of $3 million, $1 million and ($6) million, respectively, related to foreign currency contracts used to hedge its net investments in foreign operations. When substantially all of the net investments in foreign operations are sold or liquidated, the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") are reclassified to the consolidated statements of income, while a pro rata portion is reclassified upon partial sale of the net investments in foreign operations. NON-QUALIFYING DERIVATIVES AND DERIVATIVES FOR PURPOSES OTHER THAN HEDGING The Company enters into the following derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133 or for purposes other than hedging: (i) interest rate swaps, purchased caps, and interest rate futures to minimize its exposure to interest rate volatility; (ii) foreign currency forwards, swaps and option contracts to minimize its exposure to adverse movements in exchange rates; (iii) credit default swaps to minimize its exposure to adverse movements in credit; (iv) equity futures, equity index options and equity variance swaps to economically hedge liabilities embedded in certain variable annuity products; (v) RSATs to synthetically create investments; and (vi) basis swaps to better match the cash flows from assets and related liabilities. Effective at the Acquisition Date, the Company's derivative positions which previously qualified for hedge accounting were dedesignated in accordance with SFAS 133. Such derivative positions were not F-45

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) redesignated and were included with the Company's other non-qualifying derivative positions from the Acquisition Date through December 31, 2005. For the six months ended December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, and the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company recognized as net investment gains (losses) changes in fair value of ($1) million, ($10) million, ($33) million and ($96) million, respectively, related to derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting. EMBEDDED DERIVATIVES The Company has certain embedded derivatives that are required to be separated from their host contracts and accounted for as derivatives. These host contracts include guaranteed minimum accumulation and withdrawal benefits. The fair value of the Company's embedded derivative liabilities was $40 million and $181 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The amounts recorded in net investment gains (losses) for the six months ended December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005 and during the year ended December 31, 2004 were gains (losses) of $39 million, ($3) million and $30 million, respectively. There were no investment gains (losses) associated with embedded derivatives during the year ended December 31, 2003. CREDIT RISK The Company may be exposed to credit related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to derivative financial instruments. Generally, the current credit exposure of the Company's derivative contracts is limited to the fair value at the reporting date. The credit exposure of the Company's derivative transactions is represented by the fair value of contracts with a net positive fair value at the reporting date. As noted above, the Company manages its credit risk related to over-the-counter derivatives by entering into transactions with creditworthy counterparties, maintaining collateral arrangements and through the use of master agreements that provide for a single net payment to be made by one counterparty to another at each due date and upon termination. Because exchange traded futures are effected through regulated exchanges, and positions are marked to market on a daily basis, the Company has minimal exposure to credit related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to such derivative instruments. The Company enters into various collateral arrangements, which require both the pledging and accepting of collateral in connection with its derivative instruments. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company was obligated to return cash collateral under its control of $128 million and $229 million, respectively. This unrestricted cash collateral is included in cash and cash equivalents and the obligation to return it is included in payables for collateral under securities loaned and other transactions in the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had also accepted collateral consisting of various securities with a fair market value of $427 million and $584 million, respectively, which is held in separate custodial accounts. The Company is permitted by contract to sell or repledge this collateral, but as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, none of the collateral had been sold or repledged. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had not pledged any collateral related to derivative instruments. F-46

Claims and claim adjustment expenses associated with prior periods increased by $4 million and $5 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In all periods presented, the change was due to differences between actual benefit periods and expected benefit periods for long-term care and disability contracts. GUARANTEES The Company issues annuity contracts which may include contractual guarantees to the contractholder for the highest contract value on a specified anniversary date minus any withdrawals following the contract anniversary, or total deposits made to the contract less any partial withdrawals plus a minimum return ("anniversary contract value" or "minimum return"). These guarantees include benefits that are payable in the event of death. The Company also issues universal and variable life contracts where the Company contractually guarantees to the contractholder a secondary guarantee. F-49

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.)

The net amount at risk is based on the direct amount at risk (excluding reinsurance). The Company's annuity and life contracts with guarantees may offer more than one type of guarantee in each contract. Therefore, the amounts listed above may not be mutually exclusive. Liabilities incurred, relating to annuity contracts, for guaranteed death benefits were $3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005. There were no guaranteed death benefits incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2005 or the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. Liabilities incurred, relating to universal and variable life contracts, for secondary guarantees were $6 million, $5 million and $2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, and the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Account balances of contracts with insurance guarantees are invested in separate account asset classes as follows: [Enlarge/Download Table] SUCCESSOR PREDECESSOR ----------------- ----------------- DECEMBER 31, 2005 DECEMBER 31, 2004 ----------------- ----------------- Mutual Fund Groupings (IN MILLIONS) Equity.............................................. $19,969 $17,611 Bond................................................ 2,434 2,183 Balanced............................................ 2,899 3,250 Money Market........................................ 654 681 Specialty........................................... 621 649 ------- ------- TOTAL............................................. $26,577 $24,374 ======= ======= SEPARATE ACCOUNTS Separate account assets and liabilities include pass-through separate accounts totaling $30,295 million and $28,703 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, for which the policyholder assumes all investment risk, and separate accounts with a minimum return or account value for which the Company contractually guarantees either a minimum return or account value to the policyholder which totaled $943 million and $2,039 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The average interest rates credited on these contracts were 4.5% and 4% at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Fees charged to the separate accounts by the Company (including mortality charges, policy administration fees and surrender charges) are reflected in the Company's revenues as universal life and investment-type product policy fees and totaled $232 million, $203 million, $375 million and $300 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005 and the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company did not have any proportional interest in separate accounts for fixed maturities, equity securities, and cash and cash equivalents reported on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2005. For the six months ended December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2004, there were no investment gains (losses) on transfers of assets from the general account to the separate accounts. 6. REINSURANCE Since 1997, the majority of the Company's universal life business has been reinsured under an 80% ceded/20% retained yearly renewable term ("YRT") quota share reinsurance program, and its term life business has been reinsured under a 90%/10% YRT quota share reinsurance program. Beginning June 1, 2002, COLI business has been reinsured under a 90%/10% quota share reinsurance program. Beginning in September 2002, newly issued term life business has been reinsured under a 90%/10% coinsurance quota share reinsurance program. Subsequently, portions of this term coinsurance have reverted to YRT for new business. Effective May 1, 2005, the Company's quota share program for YRT and coinsurance changed to 70%/30%. Within its normal course of business, the Company may retain up to $5 million per life and reinsures 100% of amounts in excess of the Company's retention limits. Generally, the maximum retention on an ordinary life risk is $2.5 million. Maximum retention of $2.5 million is generally reached on policies in excess of $12.5 million for universal life and $25 million for term insurance. Under certain circumstances, the Company may elect to retain up to $25 million per life. For other plans of insurance, it is the policy of the Company to obtain reinsurance for amounts above certain retention limits on individual life policies, which F-51

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) limits vary with age and underwriting classification. Total in-force business ceded under reinsurance contracts is $78 billion and $74 billion at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company evaluates its reinsurance programs routinely and may increase or decrease its retention at any time. Placement of reinsurance is done primarily on an automatic basis and also on a facultative basis for risks of specific characteristics. In addition to reinsuring mortality risk, the Company reinsures other risks and specific coverages. The Company routinely reinsures certain classes of risks to limit its exposure to particular travel, avocation and lifestyle hazards. The Company uses excess of loss and quota share reinsurance arrangements to limit its maximum loss, provide greater diversification of risk and minimize exposure to larger risks. The Company reinsures its business through a diversified group of reinsurers. No single unaffiliated reinsurer has a material obligation to the Company nor is the Company's business substantially dependent upon any reinsurance contracts. The Company is contingently liable with respect to ceded reinsurance should any reinsurer be unable to meet its obligations under these agreements. Prior to April 1, 2001, the Company reinsured the GMDB rider exposure on its variable annuity products. Total variable annuity account balances with GMDB riders were $32.8 billion, of which $12.0 billion, or 36%, was reinsured, and $26.7 billion, of which $12.0 billion, or 45%, was reinsured at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. GMDBs are payable upon the death of the contractholder. When the benefits payable are greater than the account value of the variable annuity, the difference is called the net amount at risk ("NAR"). NAR totaled $0.9 billion, of which $0.8 billion, or 89%, is reinsured and $1.3 billion, of which $1.1 billion, or 85%, is reinsured at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. TIC's workers' compensation business is reinsured through a 100% quota-share agreement with The Travelers Indemnity Company, an insurance subsidiary of St. Paul Travelers. Effective July 1, 2000, the Company reinsured 90% of its individual long-term care insurance business with General Electric Capital Assurance Company ("GECAC") and its subsidiary in the form of indemnity reinsurance agreements. Written premiums ceded per these agreements were $122 million and $111 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively. Earned premiums ceded were $119 million and $112 million for the six months ended December 31, and June 30, 2005, respectively. Total written premiums ceded were $224 million and $227 million for the years ending December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In accordance with the terms of the reinsurance agreement, GECAC will effect assumption and novation of the reinsured contracts, to the extent permitted by law, no later than July 1, 2008. Effective June 30, 2005, TIC entered into an agreement with CIHC to effectively transfer the remaining results from the long-term care block of business from TIC to CIHC. Under the terms of this agreement, any gains or losses remaining after the terms of the indemnity reinsurance agreement are satisfied, are reimbursable from CIHC for losses, or payable to CIHC for gains. TIC does however retain limited investment exposure related to the reinsured contracts. Citigroup unconditionally guarantees the performance of its subsidiary, CIHC. In 2004, The Travelers Life and Annuity Reinsurance Company ("TLARC") was formed by TIC as a pure captive insurer in order to permit TIC and TLAC to cede 100% of its risk associated with the secondary death benefit guarantee rider on certain universal life contracts. TIC dividended TLARC's stock to CIHC in late 2004. As part of the Acquisition, TLARC became a direct subsidiary of MetLife. See Notes 11 and 16. F-52

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Subsequent to the Acquisition, the Company will file a consolidated tax return with its subsidiary, TLAC. The companies will execute a Tax Sharing Agreement (the "Tax Agreement") prior to the filing of the 2005 consolidated tax return. Under the Tax Agreement, the federal income taxes will be allocated between the companies on a separate return basis and adjusted for credits and other amounts required by the Tax Agreement. For the periods prior to the Acquisition, the Company and its subsidiaries filed a consolidated federal income tax return with Citigroup and were part of a Tax Sharing Agreement with Citigroup (the "Citigroup Tax Agreement"). Under the Citigroup Tax Agreement, the federal income taxes are allocated to each member of the consolidated group on a separate return basis adjusted for credits and other amounts required by the Citigroup Tax Agreement. TIC had $305 million payable to Citigroup at December 31, 2004 related to the Citigroup Tax Agreement. Under the Life Insurance Company Tax Act of 1959, stock life insurance companies were required to maintain a policyholders' surplus account containing the accumulated portion of current income which had not been subject to income tax in the year earned. The Deficit Reduction Act of 1984 required that no future amounts be added after 1983 to the policyholders' surplus account and that any future distributions to shareholders from the account would become subject to income at the general corporate income tax rate then in effect. During 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 ("AJCA") was enacted. The AJCA provides, in part, that distributions from policyholders' surplus accounts during 2005 and 2006 will not be taxed. The amount of policyholders' surplus account at December 31, 2004 was approximately $932 million. If the entire policyholders' surplus account were deemed to be distributed in 2004, there would have been a tax liability of approximately $326 million. No current or deferred taxes have been provided on these amounts in the past because management considered the conditions under which these taxes would be paid remote. For federal income tax purposes, an election under Internal Revenue Code Section 338 was made by MetLife upon Acquisition. The Section 338 election results in a deemed distribution of the Company's policyholders' surplus account in 2005. However, due to the provision of the AJCA, no tax liability will be incurred as a result of this deemed distribution of policyholders' surplus in 2005. 8. CONTINGENCIES, COMMITMENTS AND GUARANTEES CONTINGENCIES LITIGATION The Company is a defendant in a number of litigation matters. In some of the matters, indeterminate amounts, including punitive and treble damages, are sought. Modern pleading practice in the United States permits considerable variation in the assertion of monetary damages or other relief. Jurisdictions may permit claimants not to specify the monetary damages sought or may permit claimants to state only that the amount sought is sufficient to invoke the jurisdiction of the trial court. In addition, jurisdictions may permit plaintiffs to allege monetary damages in amounts well exceeding reasonably possible verdicts in the jurisdiction for similar matters. This variability in pleadings, together with the actual experience of the Company in litigating or resolving through settlement numerous claims over an extended period of time, demonstrate to management that the monetary relief which may be specified in a lawsuit or claim bears little relevance to its merits or disposition value. Thus, unless stated below, the specific monetary relief sought is not noted. Due to the vagaries of litigation, the outcome of a litigation matter and the amount or range of potential loss at particular points in time may normally be inherently impossible to ascertain with any degree of certainty. Inherent uncertainties can include how fact finders will view individually and in their totality documentary evidence, the credibility and effectiveness of witnesses' testimony, and how trial and appellate courts will apply the law in the context of the pleadings or evidence presented, whether by motion practice, or F-55

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 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 is a party to a number of legal actions and regulatory investigations. Given the inherent unpredictability of these matters, it is difficult to estimate the impact on the Company's consolidated financial position. On a quarterly and annual basis, the Company reviews relevant information with respect to liabilities for litigation, regulatory investigations and litigation-related contingencies to be reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The review includes senior legal and financial personnel. Unless stated below, estimates of possible additional losses or ranges of loss for particular matters cannot in the ordinary course be made with a reasonable degree of certainty. The limitations of available data and uncertainty regarding numerous variables make it difficult to estimate liabilities. Liabilities are established when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. It is possible that some of the matters could require the Company to pay damages or make other expenditures or establish accruals in amounts that could not be estimated as of December 31, 2005. Furthermore, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain of the Company's litigation and regulatory investigations, or the use of different assumptions in the determination of amounts recorded, could have a material effect upon the Company's consolidated net income or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods. In August 1999, an amended putative class action complaint was filed in Connecticut state court against TLAC, Travelers Equity Sales, Inc. and certain former affiliates. The amended complaint alleges Travelers Property Casualty Corporation, a former TLAC affiliate, purchased structured settlement annuities from TLAC and spent less on the purchase of those structured settlement annuities than agreed with claimants, and that commissions paid to brokers for the structured settlement annuities, including an affiliate of TLAC, were paid in part to Travelers Property Casualty Corporation. On May 26, 2004, the Connecticut Superior Court certified a nationwide class action involving the following claims against TLAC: (i) violation of the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practice Statute; (ii) unjust enrichment; and (iii) civil conspiracy. On June 15, 2004, the defendants appealed the class certification order. The Company has recently learned that the Connecticut Supreme Court has reversed the trial court's certification of a class. Plaintiff may file a motion with respect to the order and may seek upon remand to the trial court to file another motion for class certification. TLAC and Travelers Equity Sales, Inc. intend to continue to vigorously defend the matter. A former registered representative of Tower Square Securities, Inc. ("Tower Square"), a broker-dealer subsidiary of TIC, is alleged to have defrauded individuals by diverting funds for his personal use. In June 2005, the SEC issued a formal order of investigation with respect to Tower Square and served Tower Square with a subpoena. The Securities and Business Investments Division of the Connecticut Department of Banking and the NASD are also reviewing this matter. Tower Square intends to fully cooperate with the SEC, the NASD and the Connecticut Department of Banking. In the context of the above, two arbitration matters were commenced in 2005 against Tower Square. In one of the matters, defendants include other unaffiliated broker-dealers with whom the registered representative was formerly registered. It is reasonably possible that other actions will be brought regarding this matter. Tower Square intends to defend itself vigorously in all such cases. Regulatory bodies have contacted the Company and have requested information relating to market timing and late trading of mutual funds and variable insurance products and, generally, the marketing of such products. The Company believes that many of these inquiries are similar to those made to many financial services companies as part of industry-wide investigations by various regulatory agencies. In addition, like many insurance companies and agencies, in 2004 and 2005, the Company received inquiries from certain state Departments of Insurance regarding producer compensation and bidding practices.

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) not aware of any systemic problems with respect to such matters that may have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position. In addition, the Company is a defendant or co-defendant in various other litigation matters in the normal course of business. These may include civil actions, arbitration proceedings and other matters arising in the normal course of business out of activities as an insurance company, a broker and dealer in securities or otherwise. Further, state insurance regulatory authorities and other federal and state authorities may make inquiries and conduct investigations concerning the Company's compliance with applicable insurance and other laws and regulations. In the opinion of the Company's management, the ultimate resolution of these legal and regulatory proceedings would not be likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition or liquidity, but, if involving monetary liability, may be material to the Company's operating results for any particular period. INSOLVENCY ASSESSMENTS Most of the jurisdictions in which the Company is admitted to transact business require life insurers doing business within the jurisdiction to participate in guaranty associations, which are organized to pay contractual benefits owed pursuant to insurance policies issued by impaired, insolvent or failed life insurers. These associations levy assessments, up to prescribed limits, on all member insurers in a particular state on the basis of the proportionate share of the premiums written by member insurers in the lines of business in which the impaired, insolvent or failed insurer engaged. Some states permit member insurers to recover assessments paid through full or partial premium tax offsets. Assessments levied against the Company from January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2005 aggregated less than $1 million. The Company maintained a liability of $16 million, and a related asset for premium tax offsets of $9 million, at December 31, 2005, for future assessments in respect of currently impaired, insolvent or failed insurers. In the past five years, none of the aggregate assessments levied against the Company have been material. The Company has established liabilities for guaranty fund assessments that it considers adequate for assessments with respect to insurers that are currently subject to insolvency proceedings. COMMITMENTS LEASES The Company, as lessee, has entered into various lease and sublease agreements for office space. Future sublease income is projected to be insignificant. Future minimum gross rental payments are as follows: [Download Table] GROSS RENTAL PAYMENTS --------------- (IN MILLIONS) 2006........................................................ $17 2007........................................................ $17 2008........................................................ $16 2009........................................................ $10 2010........................................................ $ 8 Thereafter.................................................. $ 8 F-57

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 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 $715 million and $389 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company anticipates that these amounts will be invested in partnerships over the next five years. There are no other obligations or liabilities arising from such arrangements that are reasonably likely to become material. MORTGAGE LOAN COMMITMENTS The Company commits to lend funds under mortgage loan commitments. The amounts of these mortgage loan commitments were $339 million and $213 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. There are no other obligations or liabilities arising from such arrangements that are reasonably likely to become material. OTHER COMMITMENTS TIC is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (the "FHLB of Boston") and holds $70 million of common stock of the FHLB of Boston, which is included in equity securities on the Company's balance sheets. TIC has also entered into several funding agreements with the FHLB of Boston whereby TIC has issued such funding agreements in exchange for cash and for which the FHLB of Boston has been granted a blanket lien on TIC's residential mortgages and mortgage-backed securities to collateralize TIC's obligations under the funding agreements. TIC maintains control over these pledged assets, and may use, commingle, encumber or dispose of any portion of the collateral as long as there is no event of default and the remaining qualified collateral is sufficient to satisfy the collateral maintenance level. The funding agreements and the related security agreement represented by this blanket lien, provide that upon any event of default by TIC, the FHLB of Boston's recovery is limited to the amount of TIC's liability under the outstanding funding agreements. The amount of the Company's liability for funding agreements with the FHLB of Boston as of December 31, 2005 is $1.1 billion, which is included in policyholder account balances. GUARANTEES In the normal course of its business, the Company has provided certain indemnities, guarantees and commitments to third parties pursuant to which it may be required to make payments now or in the future. In the context of acquisition, disposition, investment and other transactions, the Company has provided indemnities and guarantees, including those related to tax, environmental and other specific liabilities, and other indemnities and guarantees that are triggered by, among other things, breaches of representations, warranties or covenants provided by the Company. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Company provides indemnifications to counterparties in contracts with triggers similar to the foregoing, as well as for certain other liabilities, such as third party lawsuits. These obligations are often subject to time limitations that vary in duration, including contractual limitations and those that arise by operation of law, such as applicable statutes of limitation. In some cases, the maximum potential obligation under the indemnities and guarantees is subject to a contractual limitation, such as in the case of MetLife International Insurance Company, Ltd. ("MLII") (formerly Citicorp International Life Insurance Company, Ltd.), an affiliate, discussed below, 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 due under these guarantees in the future. The Company has provided a guarantee on behalf of MLII. This guarantee is triggered if MLII cannot pay claims because of insolvency, liquidation or rehabilitation. The agreement was terminated as of December 31, 2004, but termination does not affect policies previously guaranteed. Life insurance coverage F-58

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) in-force under this guarantee at December 31, 2005 is $447 million. The Company does not hold any collateral related to this guarantee. In addition, the Company indemnifies its directors and officers as provided in its charters and by-laws. Also, the Company indemnifies other of 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 due under these indemnities in the future. In connection with RSATs, the Company writes credit default swap obligations requiring payment of principal due in exchange for the reference credit obligation, depending on the nature or occurrence of specified credit events for the referenced entities. In the event of a specified credit event, the Company's maximum amount at risk, assuming the value of the referenced credits becomes worthless, is $149 million at December 31, 2005. The credit default swaps expire at various times during the next three years. 9. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS Subsequent to the Acquisition, the Company became a participating employer in qualified and non-qualified, noncontributory defined benefit pension plans sponsored by MetLife. Employees were credited with prior service recognized by Citigroup, solely for the purpose of determining eligibility and vesting under the Metropolitan Life Retirement Plan for United States Employees (the "Plan"), a noncontributory qualified defined benefit pension plan, with respect to benefits earned under the Plan subsequent to the closing date of the Acquisition. Net periodic expense related to these plans is based on the employee population as of the valuation date at the beginning of the year; accordingly, no expense related to the MetLife plans was allocated to the Company for the six months ended December 31, 2005. Prior to the Acquisition, the Company participated in qualified and non-qualified, noncontributory defined benefit pension plans and certain other postretirement plans sponsored by Citigroup. The Company's share of expense for these plans was $14 million, $28 million and $28 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The obligation for benefits earned under these plans was retained by Citigroup. 10. RESTRUCTURING TRANSACTIONS As described in Note 1, on July 1, 2005, MetLife acquired the Company from Citigroup. Prior to the Acquisition, certain restructuring transactions were required pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement. All restructuring transactions have been recorded at their historical basis. The following transfers to CIHC occurred on June 30, 2005: 1. All TIC's membership in Keeper Holdings LLC, which holds an interest in CitiStreet LLC; 2. All TIC's shares of Citigroup Series YYY and YY preferred stock, and all dividends with respect thereto; 3. All TIC's shares of American Financial Life Insurance Company stock; 4. All TIC's shares of Primerica stock (See Note 14); 5. All TIC's obligations in the amount of $105 million, the related deferred income tax assets of $37 million and cash in the amount of $68 million associated with the Connecticut River Plaza lease; F-59

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 6. All owned intellectual property and all trademarks used in connection with products offered only by or through the Company. This includes, but is not limited to, the "umbrella" trademark and umbrella design trademark, and any trademarks which include the terms "citi," "Citi," the arc design and the blue wave design; 7. All TIC's net obligations in the amount of $443 million related to non-qualified employee benefit plans (including retiree welfare, pension, long-term disability, workers compensation and deferred compensation obligations) and associated assets consisting of $191 million in cash, and other assets, including a deferred income tax asset, totaling $252 million; 8. All TIC's obligations and rights related to future gains and losses under all policies providing long-term care benefits; 9. All tax liabilities for potential audit liabilities for federal and state income taxes and other taxes of approximately $78 million with respect to pre-Acquisition tax periods as the Acquisition Agreement provides for an indemnification by Citigroup to MetLife for specified tax liabilities incurred prior to the closing date. The Connecticut Insurance Department (the "Department") approved the special dividend of all TIC's ownership interests and obligations as included in items 1 through 6, 8 and 9 as set forth above. Restructuring transaction item 7, as set forth above, was accounted for as an asset/liability transfer, and did not require approval from the Department. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the results of operations related to the aforementioned restructuring transactions through the date of distribution, other than Primerica which has been reported as discontinued operations. 11. EQUITY DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS Under Connecticut State Insurance Law, TIC and TLAC are each permitted, without prior insurance regulatory clearance, to pay shareholder dividends to its parent as long as the amount of such dividend, when aggregated with all other dividends in the preceding twelve months, does not exceed the greater of (i) 10% of its surplus to policyholders as of the immediately preceding calendar year; or (ii) its statutory net gain from operations for the immediately preceding calendar year. TIC and TLAC will each be permitted to pay a cash 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 ("Commissioner") and the Commissioner does not disapprove the payment within 30 days after notice or until the Commissioner has approved the dividend, whichever is sooner. In addition, any dividend that exceeds earned surplus (unassigned funds, 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 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 shareholders. TIC paid cash dividends to its former parent, CIHC, of $675 million in 2005, $773 million in 2004 and $545 million in 2003. A portion of the cash dividend paid in 2005 was considered an extraordinary dividend and was approved by the Department. The Connecticut State Insurance Law requires prior approval for any dividends for a period of two years following a change in control. As a result of the Acquisition, under Connecticut State Insurance Law all dividend payments by TIC and TLAC through June 30, 2007 require prior approval of the Commissioner. TIC and TLAC have not paid any dividends since the Acquisition Date. On December 15, 2004, the Company dividended all of the issued and outstanding shares of TLARC to CIHC. TLARC was valued at $250,000 and was considered to be an ordinary dividend. At Acquisition, TLARC was sold by Citigroup to MetLife. F-60

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) As discussed in Note 1, in connection with the Acquisition Agreement, several restructuring transactions requiring regulatory approval were completed prior to the sale. TIC received regulatory approval from the Commissioner to complete the restructuring transactions via dividend, and to pay its dividends. In connection with the restructuring transactions as discussed in Note 10, the Company's additional paid-in capital ("APIC"), retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income were impacted as follows: [Enlarge/Download Table] PREDECESSOR -------------------------- JUNE 30, 2005 -------------------------- RETAINED APIC EARNINGS AOCI ------- -------- ----- (IN MILLIONS) RESTRUCTURING TRANSACTIONS Keeper Holdings LLC....................................... $ (8) $ (26) $ -- Citigroup Series YYY preferred stock......................

The formulas for determining the amount of RBC specify various weighting factors that are applied to financial balances or various levels of activity based on the perceived degree of risk. Regulatory compliance is determined by a ratio of total adjusted capital, as defined by the NAIC, to authorized control level RBC, as defined by the NAIC. Companies below specific trigger points or ratios are classified within certain levels, each of which requires specified corrective action. TIC and TLAC exceeded the minimum RBC requirements for all periods presented herein. The NAIC adopted the Codification of Statutory Accounting Principles ("Codification") in 2001. Codification was intended to standardize regulatory accounting and reporting to state insurance departments. However, statutory accounting principles ("SAP") continue to be established by individual state laws and permitted practices. The Department has adopted Codification, with certain modifications, for the preparation of statutory financial statements of insurance companies domiciled in Connecticut. Modifications by the Department may impact the effect of Codification on the statutory capital and surplus of TIC and TLAC. SAP differs from GAAP primarily by: (i) charging policy acquisition costs to expense as incurred; (ii) establishing future policy benefit liabilities using different actuarial assumptions; (iii) valuing securities on a different basis; and (iv) maintaining additional reserves associated with credit default and interest related investment gains and losses. In addition, certain assets are not admitted under SAP and are charged directly to surplus. The most significant assets not admitted by TIC and TLAC are net deferred tax assets resulting from temporary differences between SAP basis and tax basis not expected to reverse and become recoverable within a year.

BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION Historically, the Company was organized into two operating segments, Travelers Life and Annuity ("TL&A") and Primerica. On June 30, 2005, in anticipation of the Acquisition, all of the Company's interests in Primerica were distributed via dividend to CIHC. See Notes 10 and 14. As a result, at June 30, 2005, the operations of Primerica were reclassified into discontinued operations and the segment was eliminated, leaving a single operating segment, TL&A. On the Acquisition Date, MetLife reorganized the Company's operations into two operating segments, Institutional and Individual, as well as Corporate & Other, so as to more closely align the acquired business with the manner in which MetLife manages its existing businesses. The Institutional segment includes group life insurance and retirement & savings products and services. The Individual segment includes a wide variety of protection and asset accumulation products, including life insurance, annuities and mutual funds. These segments are managed separately because they either provide different products and services, require different strategies or have different technology requirements. Corporate & Other contains the excess capital not allocated to the business segments and run-off businesses, as well as expenses associated with certain legal proceedings. Corporate & Other also includes the elimination of intersegment transactions. 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 the Company's businesses. As part of the economic capital process, a portion of net investment income is credited to the segments based on the level of allocated equity. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those of the Company, except for the method of capital allocation and the accounting for gains (losses) from intercompany sales, which are eliminated in consolidation. Subsequent to the Acquisition Date, the Company allocates capital to each segment based upon an internal capital allocation system used by MetLife that allows MetLife and the Company to effectively manage its capital. The Company evaluates the performance of each operating segment based upon net income excluding certain net investment gains (losses), net of income taxes, and adjustments related to net investment gains (losses), net of income taxes.

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Set forth in the tables below is certain financial information with respect to the Company's segments, as well as Corporate & Other, for the six months ended December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005 and the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. Segment results for periods prior to the Acquisition Date have been restated to reflect segment results in conformity with MetLife's segment presentation. The revised presentation conforms to the manner in which the Company manages and assesses its business. While the prior period presentations have been prepared using the classification of products in conformity with MetLife's segment presentation, they do not reflect the segment results using MetLife's method of capital allocation which allocates capital to each segment based upon an internal capital allocation system as described in the preceding paragraph. In periods prior to the Acquisition Date, earnings on capital were allocated to segments based upon a statutory risk based capital allocation method which resulted in less capital being allocated to the segments and more being retained at Corporate & Other. As it was impracticable to retroactively reflect the impact of applying MetLife's economic capital model on periods prior to the Acquisition Date, they were not restated for this change.

Revenues derived from any customer did not exceed 10% of consolidated revenues. Substantially all of the Company's revenues originated in the United States. 14. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS As described in Note 1, and in accordance with the Acquisition Agreement, Primerica, a former operating segment of the Company, was distributed in the form of a dividend to CIHC on June 30, 2005. In accordance with SFAS No. 144 the distribution of Primerica by dividend to CIHC qualifies as a disposal by means other than a sale. As such, Primerica was treated as continuing operations until the date of disposal and, upon the date of disposal, the results from the operations were reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

FAIR VALUE INFORMATION The estimated fair values of financial instruments have been determined by using available market information and the valuation methodologies described below. Considerable judgment is often required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value.

THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values of financial instruments are summarized as follows: FIXED MATURITIES, TRADING SECURITIES AND EQUITY SECURITIES The fair value of fixed maturities, trading securities and equity securities are based upon quotations published by applicable stock exchanges or received from other reliable sources. For securities for which the market values were not readily available, fair values were estimated using quoted market prices of comparable investments. MORTGAGE AND CONSUMER LOANS, MORTGAGE LOAN COMMITMENTS AND COMMITMENTS TO FUND PARTNERSHIP INVESTMENTS Fair values for mortgage and consumer loans are estimated by discounting expected future cash flows, using current interest rates for similar loans with similar credit risk. For mortgage loan commitments, the estimated fair value is the net premium or discount of the commitments. Commitments to fund partnership investments have no stated interest rate and are assumed to have a fair value of zero. POLICY LOANS The carrying values for policy loans approximate fair value. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS The carrying values for cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments approximated fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. POLICYHOLDER ACCOUNT BALANCES The fair value of policyholder account balances which have final contractual maturities are estimated by discounting expected future cash flows based upon interest rates currently being offered for similar contracts with maturities consistent with those remaining for the agreements being valued. The fair value of policyholder account balances without final contractual maturities are assumed to equal their current net surrender value. PAYABLES FOR COLLATERAL UNDER SECURITIES LOANED AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS The carrying values for payables for collateral under securities loaned and other transactions approximate fair value. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The fair value of derivative instruments, including financial futures, interest rate, credit default and foreign currency swaps, foreign currency forwards, caps, and options are based upon quotations obtained from dealers or other reliable sources. See Note 4 for derivative fair value disclosures. 16. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS During 1995, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ("Metropolitan Life"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife, acquired 100% of the group life business of TIC. The Company's consolidated balance sheet includes a reinsurance receivable related to this business of $387 million at December 31, 2005 and $409 million at December 31, 2004.

ITEM 28. INDEMNIFICATION The Depositor's parent, MetLife, Inc. has secured a Financial Institutions Bond in the amount of $50,000,000, subject to a $5,000,000 deductible. MetLife, Inc. also maintains a Directors and Officers Liability and Corporate Reimbursement Insurance Policy insurance coverage with limits of $400 million under which the Depositor and Travelers Distribution LLC, the Registrant's underwriter (the "Underwriter"), as well as certain other subsidiaries of MetLife are covered. A provision in MetLife, Inc.'s by-laws provides for the indemnification (under certain circumstances) of individuals serving as directors or officers of certain organizations, including the Depositor and the Underwriter. Sections 33-770 et seq. inclusive of the Connecticut General Statutes ("C.G.S.") regarding indemnification of directors and officers of Connecticut corporations provides in general that Connecticut corporations shall indemnify their officers, directors and certain other defined individuals against judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses actually incurred in connection with proceedings against the corporation. The corporation's obligation to provide such indemnification generally does not apply unless (1) the individual is wholly successful on the merits in the defense of any such proceeding; or (2) a determination is made (by persons specified in the statute) that the individual acted in good faith and in the best interests of the corporation and in all other cases, his conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and in a criminal case he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; or (3) the court, upon application by the individual, determines in view of all of the circumstances that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to be indemnified, and then for such amount as the court shall determine. With respect to proceedings brought by or in the right of the corporation, the statute provides that the corporation shall indemnify its officers, directors and certain other defined individuals, against reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with such proceedings, subject to certain limitations.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant 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 registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant 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 registrant 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. ITEM 29.
