FINANCIAL AND PERFORMANCE INFORMATION [SIDE BAR: All performance numbers are based upon historical earnings. These numbers are not intended to indicate future results. Yields and average annual total returns are determined in accordance with the computation methods required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") in the Form N-4 Registration Statement. These methods are described in detail in the Statement of Additional Information.] PERFORMANCE INFORMATION We periodically advertise Series performance relating to the various Funds. We will calculate performance by determining the percentage change in the value of an accumulation unit by dividing the increase (decrease) for that unit by the value of the accumulation unit at the beginning of the period. This performance number reflects the deduction of the Separate Account product charges and the Fund expenses. It does not reflect the deduction of any applicable transaction or transfer fee or surrender charge. The deduction of these charges would reduce the percentage increase or make greater any percentage decrease. Any advertisement will also include total return figures which reflect the deduction of the Separate Account product charges, account fees, surrender charges and the transaction or transfer expenses. For periods starting prior to the date the Contract was first offered, the performance will be based on the historical performance of the corresponding Funds for the periods commencing from the date on which the particular Fund was made available through the Separate Account. In addition, for certain Funds performance may be shown for the period commencing from the inception date of the Fund. These figures should not be interpreted to reflect actual historical performance of the Separate Account. We may, from time to time, include in our advertising and sales materials, performance information for Funds or Series related to the Funds and/or their investment advisers or subadvisers. Such related performance information also may reflect the deduction of certain Contract charges. We may also include in our advertising and sales materials, tax deferred compounding charts and other hypothetical illustrations, which may include comparisons of currently taxable and tax deferred investment programs, based on selected tax brackets. FINANCIAL INFORMATION Financial Statements of the Separate Account and MetLife Investors USA are contained in the Statement of Additional Information. Please see the section "Additional Information" of this Prospectus for information on how to obtain a copy of the Statement of Additional Information. 13

DESCRIPTION OF METLIFE INVESTORS USA INSURANCE COMPANY, THE GENERAL ACCOUNT, THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT, THE FUNDS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS THE INSURANCE COMPANY MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (MetLife Investors USA) is a stock life insurance company founded on September 13, 1960, and organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. Its principal executive offices are located at 11225 North Community House Road, Charlotte, NC 28277. MetLife Investors USA is authorized to transact the business of life insurance, including annuities, and is currently licensed to do business in all states (except New York) and in the District of Columbia. MetLife Investors USA is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife, Inc. (MetLife), the holding company of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and a listed company on the New York Stock Exchange. MetLife is a leading provider of insurance and financial products and services to individual and group customers. In 2013, MetLife, Inc. announced its plans to merge MetLife Investors USA, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut, MetLife Investors Insurance Company (MetLife Investors), and Exeter Reassurance Company, Ltd. (Exeter Reassurance), to create one larger U.S.-based and U.S.-regulated life insurance company. MetLife Investors, like MetLife Investors USA and MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut, is a U.S. insurance company that issues variable insurance products in addition to other products. Exeter Reassurance is a direct subsidiary of MetLife, Inc. that mainly reinsures guarantees associated with variable annuity products issued by U.S. insurance companies that are direct or indirect subsidiaries of MetLife, Inc. MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut, which is expected to be renamed and domiciled in Delaware, will be the surviving entity. These mergers are expected to occur towards the end of 2014, subject to regulatory approvals. THE GENERAL ACCOUNT All of the assets of MetLife Investors USA, except for those in the Separate Account and other segregated asset accounts, make up the assets of the General Account. You may allocate to the General Account. Amounts allocated to the General Account are credited with interest at an interest rate that is guaranteed by MetLife Investors USA. Instead of you bearing the risk of fluctuations in the value of the assets as is the case for amounts invested in the Separate Account, MetLife Investors USA bears the full investment risk for amounts in the General Account. MetLife Investors USA has sole discretion to invest the assets of the General Account, subject to applicable law. THE GENERAL ACCOUNT PROVISIONS OF THE CONTRACT ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE OFFERED BY THIS PROSPECTUS. Please see the terms of your Certificate for more information. 14
485BPOS16th Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 16th
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT MetLife Investors USA established the Separate Account on May 29, 1980, in accordance with the Delaware Insurance Code. The purpose of the Separate Account is to hold the variable assets that underlie the Contracts and some other variable annuity contracts that MetLife Investors USA offers. The Separate Account is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act. The assets of the Separate Account are held in MetLife Investors USA's name on behalf of the Separate Account and legally belong to MetLife Investors USA. Although the Separate Account, and each of the Series that make up the Separate Account, are considered as part of MetLife Investors USA's general business, the Separate Account's assets are solely for the benefit of those who invest in the Separate Account and no one else, including MetLife Investors USA's creditors. All the income, gains and losses (realized and unrealized) resulting from these assets are credited to or charged against the Contracts issued from this Separate Account without regard to MetLife Investors USA's other business. Under state law and the terms of the Contract, the assets of the Separate Account will not be responsible for liabilities arising out of MetLife Investors USA's other business. Furthermore, MetLife Investors USA is obligated to pay all money it owes under the Contracts even if that amount exceeds the assets in the Separate Account. However, the amount of these payments is guaranteed only to the extent of the level amount calculated at the beginning of each Annuity year. Any obligations that exceed the assets in the Separate Account are payable by the General Account. The amount of the death benefit that exceeds the Contract Value is paid from the General Account. Benefit amounts paid from the General Account are subject to the claims-paying ability of MetLife Investors USA and MetLife Investors USA's long-term ability to make such payments and are not guaranteed by any other party. For other annuity contracts and life insurance policies that MetLife Investors USA issues, all amounts owed under the contracts and policies are paid from the General Account. MetLife Investors USA is regulated as an insurance company under state law, which generally imposes restrictions on the amount and type of investments in the General Account. However, there is no guarantee that MetLife Investors USA will be able to meet all claims-paying obligations. There are risks to purchasing any insurance product. The Separate Account is divided into a number of investment Series of Accumulation and Annuity Units. Over twenty-five of these Series are available under the Contracts as investment choices. Each Series invests in the shares of only one of the Funds. The investment adviser to certain of the Funds offered with the Contracts or with other Variable Annuity contracts issued through the Separate Account may be regulated as Commodity Pool Operators. While it does not concede that the Separate Account is a commodity pool, MetLife Investors USA has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term "commodity pool operator" under the Commodities Exchange Act ("CEA"), and is not subject to registration or regulation as a pool operator under the CEA. 15

[SIDE BAR: While the Series and their comparably named Funds may have names, investment objectives and management which are identical or similar to publicly available mutual funds, these are not those retail mutual funds. The Funds most likely will not have the same performance experience as any retail mutual fund. Moreover, a Series that invests in a retail fund will have lower investment performance than the retail fund due to Contract charges and expenses.] Shares of each Fund are purchased for the corresponding Series. These Funds invest in stocks, bonds and other investments. All dividends declared by the Funds are earned by the Separate Account and reinvested. Therefore, no dividends are distributed to you under the Contract. Instead, dividends generally increase the Accumulation or Annuity Unit Value. You pay no transaction expenses (i.e., front-end or back-end load sales charges) as a result of the Separate Account's purchase or sale of these Fund shares. The Funds listed above other than the T. Rowe Price Growth Stock Fund, Inc. are available only by purchasing annuities and life insurance policies offered by MetLife Investors USA or by other insurance companies and are never sold directly to the public. The shares of each Fund are purchased, without sales charge, for the corresponding Series at the next net asset value per share determined by a Fund after your payment is received by MetLife Investors USA. Fund shares will be redeemed by the Series to the extent necessary for MetLife Investors USA to make annuity or other payments under the Contracts. Each of the Funds is a portfolio or series of an open-end management investment company registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act. Registration does not involve supervision by the SEC of the investment or investment policies of the Funds. There can be no guarantee that a Fund will meet its investment objectives. A Fund's performance may be affected by risks specific to certain types of investments, such as foreign securities, derivative instruments, non-investment grade securities, initial public offerings (IPOs) or companies with relatively small market capitalizations. IPOs and other investment techniques may have a magnified performance impact on a Fund with a small asset base. A Fund may not experience similar performance as its assets grow. [SIDE BAR: The Funds are more fully described in the Fund prospectuses and their Statements of Additional Information.] The Funds are available to other registered separate accounts offering variable annuity and variable life products in addition to MetLife Investors USA's Separate Account. In the future, a conflict may develop between one or more separate accounts invested in the same Fund. The conflict could develop due to change in the law affecting variable annuity products or from differences in voting instructions of owners of the different separate accounts. MetLife Investors USA monitors the Series for this type of conflict and will remedy the situation if such a conflict develops. This may include the withdrawal of amounts invested in the Funds by you and other Participants and Owners. CERTAIN PAYMENTS WE RECEIVE WITH REGARD TO THE FUNDS. An investment adviser (other than our affiliate MetLife Advisers, LLC) or subadviser of a Fund or its affiliates may make payments to us and/or certain of our affiliates. These payments may be used for a variety of purposes, including payment of expenses for certain administrative, marketing, and support services with respect to the Contracts and, in MetLife Investors USA's role as intermediary, with respect to the Funds. MetLife Investors USA and its affiliates may profit from these payments. 17
485BPOS19th Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 19th
These payments may be derived, in whole or in part, from the advisory fee deducted from Fund assets. Contract Owners, through their indirect investment in the Funds, bear the costs of these advisory fees (see the Funds' prospectuses for more information). The amount of the payments we receive is based on a percentage of assets of the Funds attributable to the Contracts and certain other variable insurance products that we and our affiliates issue. These percentages differ and some advisers or subadvisers (or other affiliates) may pay us more than others. These percentages currently range up to 0.50%. Additionally, an investment adviser (other than our affiliate, MetLife Advisers, LLC) or subadviser of a Fund or its affiliates may provide us with wholesaling services that assist in the distribution of the Contracts and may pay us and/or certain affiliates amounts to participate in sales meetings. These amounts may be significant and may provide the adviser or subadviser (or its affiliate) with increased access to persons involved in the distribution of the Contracts. We and/or certain of our affiliated insurance companies have joint ownership interests in our affiliated investment adviser, MetLife Advisers, LLC, which is formed as a "limited liability company." Our ownership interests in MetLife Advisers, LLC entitle us to profit distributions if the adviser makes a profit with respect to the advisory fees it receives from the Funds. We will benefit accordingly from assets allocated to the Funds to the extent they result in profits to the adviser. (See "Fee Tables and Examples - Fund Expenses" for information on the management fees paid by the Funds and the Statement of Additional Information for the Funds for information on the management fees paid by the adviser to the subadvisers.) Certain Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. A Fund's 12b-1 Plan, if any, is described in more detail in the Fund's prospectus. (See "Fee Tables and Examples - Fund Expenses" and "Principal Underwriter.") Any payments we receive pursuant to those 12b-1 Plans are paid to us or to our Distributor. Payments under a Fund's 12b-1 Plan decrease the Fund's investment return. HOW WE SELECT THE FUNDS. We select the Funds offered through the Contract based on a number of 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 Fund's adviser or sub-adviser is one of our affiliates or whether the Fund, its adviser, its sub-adviser(s), or an affiliate will make payment to us or our affiliates. For additional information on these arrangements, see "Certain Payments We Receive with Regard to the Funds" above. In this regard, the profit distributions we receive from our affiliated investment advisers are a component of the total revenue that we consider in configuring the features and investment choices available in the variable insurance products that we and our affiliated insurance companies issue. Since we and our affiliated insurance companies may benefit more from the allocation of assets to Funds advised by our 18
485BPOS20th Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 20th
affiliates than those that are not, we may be more inclined to offer Funds advised by our affiliates in the variable insurance products we issue. In some cases, we have included Funds based on recommendations made by selling firms. These selling firms may receive payments from the Funds they recommend and may benefit accordingly from the allocation of Account value to such Funds. We review the Funds periodically and may remove a Fund or limit its availability to new Purchase Payments and/or transfers of Participant's Account value if we determine that the Fund no longer meets one or more of the selection criteria, and/or if the Fund has not attracted significant allocations from Participants. We make certain payments to American Funds Distributors, Inc., principal underwriter for the American Funds Insurance Series. (See "Principal Underwriter.") WE DO NOT PROVIDE INVESTMENT ADVICE AND DO NOT RECOMMEND OR ENDORSE ANY PARTICULAR FUND. YOU BEAR THE RISK OF ANY DECLINE IN THE ACCOUNT VALUE OF YOUR CONTRACT RESULTING FROM THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS YOU HAVE CHOSEN. SUBSTITUTION OF FUND SHARES. MetLife Investors USA may substitute shares of another fund for Fund shares if the shares of a Fund are no longer available or further investment in such shares is determined to be inappropriate by MetLife Investors USA's management in view of the purposes of the Contracts. The substituted fund may have different fees and expenses. However, no substitution is allowed unless a majority of the Owners entitled to vote (those who have invested in the Series) and the SEC approves the substitution under the 1940 Act. Furthermore, we may close investment portfolios to allocation of purchase payments or Contract value, or both, at any time in our sole discretion. PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER MetLife Investors Distribution Company ("Distributor"), 1095 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10036, a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), an affiliate principal underwriter for the Contracts. FINRA provides background information about broker-dealers and their registered representatives through FINRA BrokerCheck. You may contact the FINRA BrokerCheck Hotline at 1-800-289-9999, or log on to www.finra.org. An investor brochure that includes information describing FINRA BrokerCheck is available through the Hotline or on-line. The Distributor is a Missouri corporation. MetLife Investors USA has entered into a distribution agreement with MetLife Investors Distribution Company, for the distribution of the Certificates. We pay compensation to Distributor for sales of the Contracts and Certificates by the selling firm. We pay amounts to Distributor that may be used for its operating and other expenses, including the following sales expenses: compensation and bonuses for the Distributor's management team, advertising expenses, and other expenses of distributing the contracts. Distributor's management team also may be eligible for non-cash compensation items that we may 19
485BPOS21st Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 21st
provide jointly with Distributor. Non-cash items include conferences, seminars and trips (including travel, lodging and meals in connection therewith), entertainment, merchandise and other similar items. We and Distributor have entered into selling agreements with other affiliated and unaffiliated selling firms for the sale of the Contracts. All selling firms receive commissions and they may receive some form of non-cash compensation. These commissions and other incentives or payments are not charged directly to Participants or the Separate Account. We intend to recoup commissions and other sales expenses through fees and charges deducted under the Contract or from our general account. A portion of the payments made to selling firms may be passed on to their sales representatives in accordance with their internal compensation programs. Those programs may also include other types of cash and non-cash compensation and other benefits. We and Distributor pay compensation to all selling firms in the form of commissions and may provide certain types of non-cash compensation. The maximum commission payable for contract sales and additional purchase payments by selling firms is 8.5% of purchase payments. We also pay commissions when a Participant elects to begin receiving Annuity payments. (See "Annuity Benefits - Variable Annuity Payments.") We pay American Funds Distributors, Inc., principal underwriter for the American Funds Insurance Series, a percentage of all Purchase Payments allocated to the American Funds Global Small Capitalization Fund, the American Funds Growth Fund and the American Funds Growth-Income Fund, for the services it provides in marketing the Funds' shares in connection with the Contracts. SERVICING AGENT MetLife Group, Inc. and Metropolitan Life Insurance Company provide MetLife Investors USA with personnel and administrative services, including: officers, office space, supplies, utilities, office equipment, travel expenses and periodic reports. 20

CONTRACT CHARGES MetLife Investors USA deducts the charges described below, and we may also deduct a charge for taxes, if applicable. Unless otherwise specified, charges are deducted proportionately from all Series, and the General Account in which you are invested. These charges may not be changed under the Contract, and MetLife Investors USA may profit from these charges in the aggregate. PREMIUM AND OTHER TAXES MetLife Investors USA reserves the right to deduct from Purchase Payments, surrenders, death benefits or Annuity payments any taxes relating to the Contracts (including, but not limited to, premium taxes) paid by us to any government entity. Examples of these taxes include, but are not limited to, premium tax, generation-skipping transfer tax or a similar excise tax under federal or state law which is imposed on payments we make to certain persons and income tax withholdings on surrenders and Annuity payments to the extent required by law. Premium taxes generally range from 0 to 3.5%, depending on the state. We will, at out sole discretion, determine when taxes relate to the Contracts. We may, at our sole discretion, pay taxes when due and deduct that amount from the Participant's Account value at a later date. Payment at any earlier date does not waive any right we may have to deduct amounts at a later date. It is our current practice not to charge premium taxes until Annuity payments begin. See Appendix D for more information. SURRENDER CHARGE [SIDE BAR: The surrender charge covers marketing expenses for the sale of Contracts, such as commissions to sales personnel and other promotion and acquisition expenses.] No sales charge is deducted from any Purchase Payment. However, a surrender charge (contingent deferred sales charge) may be imposed on a partial or full surrender of the Participant's Account. During the accumulation phase, you can withdraw part or all of the Participant's Account. For 403(b) Plans only, in the first surrender of each calendar year, you may surrender up to 10% of the value of your interest in the Separate Account without surrender charges, provided that the proceeds are paid solely to the Participant or the Beneficiary. If you withdraw money in excess of 10%, you might have to pay a surrender charge on the excess amount. Withdrawals from 403(b) Plans may be restricted by the Internal Revenue Code. DIVORCE. A withdrawal pursuant to a divorce or separation instrument is subject to the same surrender charge provisions described in this section, if permissible under tax law. In addition, the withdrawal will reduce the Participant's Account and the death benefit. The withdrawal could have a significant negative impact on the death benefit. 21

The following schedule shows the surrender charges that apply during the sixty months following each Purchase Payment: [Download Table] Number of Months Since Purchase Payment Date Surrender Charge --------------------------------------------- 60 months or less 7% More than 60 months 0% The surrender charge is calculated by subtracting from the Series or General Account from which you are withdrawing a Purchase Payment an amount determined as follows: the surrender amount -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 - the percentage surrender charge expressed as a decimal [SIDE BAR: The surrender charge covers marketing expenses for the sale of Contracts, such as commissions to sales personnel and other promotion and acquisition expenses.] If you make a partial surrender, you will receive a check in the amount requested. The surrender charge, if any, will be deducted from the Series from which the partial surrender was taken. If the amount in a particular Series is completely surrendered, the charge will be taken from the remaining Series in which you have an interest. MetLife Investors USA will not deduct any surrender charge once 9 years have elapsed since your Certificate Date. EXCEPTIONS TO SURRENDER CHARGE In some cases, MetLife Investors USA will not charge you the surrender charge when you make a surrender. You do not pay the surrender charge: .. on transfers made within the Contract; .. on withdrawals of Purchase Payments you made over 60 months ago; .. If you die during the pay-in phase. Your Beneficiary(ies) will receive the full death benefit without deduction; .. If you are a 403(b) Plan Participant and you withdraw no more than 10% of your interest in any calendar year (subject to Internal Revenue Code restrictions); .. If you are confined to a hospital for at least 30 consecutive days or a skilled nursing home for at least 90 consecutive days. The withdrawal must be in a lump sum and must be requested within 60 days after termination of confinement. This Contract feature is not available in Massachusetts and South Dakota; .. When you are an officer, director or full time employee of MetLife Investors USA or its affiliates. In this case, the purchase of the Contract is for personal investment purposes only; .. on required minimum distributions from, or excess contributions to, a qualified contract (but only with respect to amounts required to be distributed from this contract); and .. If permitted in your state, if you are the Plan Participant and you make a direct transfer of your Participant's Account to another funding option or annuity contract issued by MetLife Investors USA or one of its affiliates and MetLife Investors USA or its affiliate agrees. 22

ADMINISTRATIVE FEES An administrative fee of $21.50 plus $2.50 for each Series in which you have Accumulation Units is deducted from your Participant's Account on a yearly basis. The fee is prorated between Series in your Account based on their values on the date of the deduction. Contract administration expenses we incur include: .. the cost of Contract issuance; .. rent; .. stationery and postage; .. telephone and travel expenses; .. salaries; .. legal, administrative, actuarial and accounting fees; .. periodic reports; and .. office equipment, and custodial expenses. The administrative fee will be waived for any Certificate Year during which you contribute Purchase Payments of $2,000 or more or your Participant's Account is $10,000 or more at the end of the Certificate Year. [SIDE BAR: Please note that deductions are made and expenses paid out of the underlying Funds' assets, as well. A description of these fees and expenses are described in each Fund's prospectus.] TRANSACTION CHARGES A $10 transaction charge will be deducted from your Account for each transfer from a Series (see "Transfers") and upon annuitizaton of all or a portion of your Participant's Account (see "Annuity Benefits"). When you make a full or partial surrender, a transaction charge will be deducted from your Participant's Account in an amount equal to the lesser of: .. $10 or .. 2% of the amount surrendered. These charges are at cost. MetLife Investors USA does not anticipate profiting from them. Transaction charges for transfers from one Series of the Separate Account to another Series of the Separate Account are currently waived. (See, however, "Description of the Contracts - Restrictions on Transfers.") MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE MetLife Investors USA charges a fee for bearing certain mortality and expense risks under the Contract. You pay the mortality and expense risk charge during the accumulation phase and the income phase. Examples of these risks include a guarantee of annuity rates, the death benefits, and assuming the risk that the expense charges and fees are less than actual administrative and operating expenses. As compensation for assuming these risks, MetLife Investors USA will make a daily deduction from the value of the Separate Account's assets equal to 1.25% per year. If MetLife Investors USA has gains from the receipt of the mortality and expense risk charges over its cost of assuming these risks, it may use the gains as it sees fit. This may include the reduction of expenses incurred in distributing the Contracts. 23
485BPOS25th Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 25th
MetLife Investors USA may voluntarily waive a portion of the mortality and administrative expense risk charges. Any waiver of these expenses may be terminated at any time. DISTRIBUTION EXPENSE CHARGE MetLife Investors USA also assumes the risk that surrender charges described above will be insufficient to cover the actual costs of distribution. These costs include: .. commissions, .. fees, .. registration costs, .. direct and indirect selling expenses (including advertising, sales materials, illustrations, marketing personnel, printing, and related overhead) As compensation for assuming this risk, MetLife Investors USA will make a deduction of .000274% on a daily basis (0.10% per year) from the value of the Separate Account assets funding the Contract (the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission deems this charge a deferred sales charge). The distribution expense charge (sales load), together with any contingent deferred sales charge imposed as described under "Surrender Charge" above, will never exceed 9% of purchase payments. INCOME TAXES We reserve the right to deduct from the Contract for any income taxes which we incur because of the Contract. In general, we believe under current federal income tax law, we are entitled to hold reserves with respect to the Contract that offset Separate Account income. If this should change, it is possible we could incur income tax with respect to the Contract, and in that event we may deduct such tax from the Contract. At the present time, however, we are not incurring any such income tax or making any such deductions. FUND EXPENSES There are deductions from and expenses paid out of the assets of the various Funds, which are described in the fee table in this prospectus and in the Fund prospectuses. These deductions and expenses are not charges under the terms of the Contract but are represented in the share values of the investment options. FREE LOOK PERIOD You may cancel your interest in the Contract within a certain time period. This is known as a "free look." Your Free Look Period is the 20-day period (or longer in certain states) starting when you receive your Certificate. If you decide to cancel your interest in the Contract, MetLife Investors USA must receive your request to cancel in writing at its administrative office within the 20-day period. If the Certificate is mailed to MetLife Investors USA, it will be considered to be received on the 24
485BPOS26th Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 26th
postmark date. If the Certificate is sent by certified or registered mail, the date of certification or registration will be considered the date of its return to MetLife Investors USA. The returned Certificate will be treated as if MetLife Investors USA never issued it, and MetLife Investors USA will refund your Purchase Payments or, if required by state law, the greater of the Purchase Payments or the Participant's Account. Purchase Payments that you make to the Separate Account will be allocated to the Money Market Portfolio for the number of days of the Free Look Period required by the state in which you live. At the end of the Free Look Period, the account value in the Money Market Portfolio will be reallocated to the Series of the Separate Account that you selected in your Contract application. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS For qualified Section 457 deferred compensation Plans, MetLife Investors USA may agree to reduce or waive the administrative fees, transaction charges, and the distribution expense fee. Also, deductions for sales charges may be reduced or waived if a surrender is the result of your: .. death, .. disability, .. retirement, .. termination of employment, .. unforseeable emergency, or .. transfer to another investment provider. 25

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTRACTS GENERAL The Contracts (known as the Flexible Bonus Annuity, Form 226R1) are group contracts designed to provide annuity benefits to employees of the following: .. Public School Systems; .. Churches; .. Certain tax-exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code; .. Employees covered under various types of Section 457 deferred compensation Plans; and .. Retirement plans held by trusts which qualify under Section 401 of the Code. The Contracts are designed to fulfill long-term financial needs. They should not be considered as short-term or temporary investments. A group Contract is issued to an employer or organization which is the Owner. This Contract covers all present and future Participants. After completing an enrollment form and arranging for Purchase Payments to begin, except as provided below, you and all other Participants will receive a Certificate that gives you a summary of the Contract provisions. This Certificate also serves as evidence of your participation in the Plan. NO CERTIFICATES ARE ISSUED TO PARTICIPANTS UNDER DEFERRED COMPENSATION OR QUALIFIED CORPORATE RETIREMENT PLANS. The group Contracts may be restricted by the Plan as to your exercise of certain rights provided under the Contracts. You should refer to the Plan for information concerning these restrictions. Due to IRS regulations affecting 403(b) plans, we will only issue new Certificates where your employer currently permits salary reduction contributions to be made to the Certificate. ASSIGNMENT If permitted by the Plan, you may assign your interest in the Contract by providing MetLife Investors USA with written notice. Where a Contract is issued in connection with a non-governmental deferred compensation plan, all rights and powers under the Contract are vested in the Owner, not you. MetLife Investors USA will not be bound by the assignment until written notice of the assignment is recorded by us. We will not be liable for any payment or other action we take in accordance with the Contract before we record the assignment. AN ASSIGNMENT MAY BE A TAXABLE EVENT. PURCHASE PAYMENTS You may make Purchase Payments yearly, semi-yearly, quarterly, monthly, or in periods agreed to by MetLife Investors USA. You may change when you make Purchase Payments if permitted by the Plan. The minimum Purchase Payment is $20, with a yearly minimum of $240 (or such lesser 26
485BPOS28th Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 28th
amount as is required by federal tax law). Purchase Payments may be allocated to the Separate Account, the General Account, or between them according to your decision. You will periodically receive a confirmation of Purchase Payments which have been received. We accept Purchase Payments made by check or cashier's check. We do not accept cash, money orders or traveler's checks. We reserve the right to refuse Purchase Payments made via a personal check in excess of $100,000. Purchase payments over $100,000 may be accepted in other forms, including but not limited to, EFT/wire transfers, certified checks, corporate checks, and checks written on financial institutions. The form in which we receive a Purchase Payment may determine how soon subsequent disbursement requests may be fulfilled. (See "Payment of Surrender Amount.") If you send a Purchase Payment or transaction request to an address other than the one we have designated for receipt of such Purchase Payments or requests, we may return the Purchase Payment to you, or there may be a delay in applying the Purchase Payment or transaction to your Participant's Account. TRANSFERS ACCUMULATION UNITS Except as otherwise limited under restrictions on transfers, you may transfer Accumulation Units from one Series to another or from a Series to the General Account at any time. You may not make a transfer from the General Account to Accumulation Units of a Series of more than 20% of your interest in the General Account in any one year. It is important to note that it will take over 10 years (assuming no additional purchase payments or transfers into the General Account and discounting any accrued interest) to make a complete transfer of your interest from the General Account to Accumulation Units of a Series because of the transfer allowance restriction indicated above. This is because the 20% transfer allowance is based on a declining interest in the General Account rather than transfers based upon a fixed number of years. For example (based upon the assumptions above), if your initial interest in the General Account is $100, the 20% transfer allowance only allows you to transfer up to $20 the first year. If you transfer the maximum transfer allowance that year, you may only transfer up to $16 the following year based on the 20% transfer allowance of the $80 interest remaining in the General Account for the year. It is important to consider when deciding to invest in the General Account whether this 20% transfer allowance restriction fits your risk tolerance and time horizon. Your transfer instructions must be in writing or, if permitted by MetLife Investors USA, by telephone, Internet or other means approved by MetLife Investors USA. If MetLife Investors USA permits transfers by telephone, you will be required to complete an authorization on the Certificate enrollment or on another form that MetLife Investors USA may require. MetLife Investors USA will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that telephone 27
485BPOS29th Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 29th
or Internet instructions are genuine. This will include a requirement that you provide one or more forms of personal identification when requesting a transfer. MetLife Investors USA will not be liable for following instructions it reasonably believes to be genuine. Because telephone or Internet transactions will be available to anyone who provides certain information about you or your Contract, you should protect that information. We may not be able to verify that you are the person providing telephone or Internet instructions, or that you have authorized any such person to act for you. Telephone or computer systems may not always be available. Any telephone or computer system can experience outages or slowdowns for a variety of reasons. These outages or slowdowns may delay or prevent our processing of your request. Although we have taken precautions to help our systems handle heavy use, we cannot promise complete reliability under all circumstances. If you are experiencing problems, you should make your request in writing to MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company, 11225 North Community House Road, Charlotte, NC 28277. Transfers will be effected on the first Valuation Date after receipt of written, telephone or Internet instructions. Accumulation Unit values are determined as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange. The New York Stock Exchange usually closes at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time but may close earlier or later. If your transfer instructions are received up to that time your transfer will be effected at the value calculated on that Valuation Date. If your instructions are received after the close of trading on a valuation day, your transfer instructions will be carried out at the value next calculated. ANNUITY UNITS You may convert Annuity Units from one Series to another at any time. You may not convert Annuity Units from a Series to the General Account. However, any amounts that you have in the General Account that have not been applied to a fixed annuity income option may be transferred to Annuity Units in one or more Series for Variable Annuity payments. Conversions of Annuity Units may only be requested in writing and will be effective on the first valuation following receipt of the instructions. MINIMUM TRANSFER A minimum of $500 must be transferred from any Series or from the General Account. The value of the Accumulation and Annuity Units transferred will be calculated as of the close of business on the day that the transfer occurs. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERS RESTRICTIONS ON FREQUENT TRANSFERS. Frequent requests from Participants to make transfers may dilute the value of a 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 Fund and the reflection of that change in the 28
485BPOS30th Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 30th
Fund's share price ("arbitrage trading"). Frequent transfers involving arbitrage trading may adversely affect the long-term performance of the Funds, which may in turn adversely affect Participants 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 Funds (i.e., Alger Small Cap Growth Portfolio, American Funds Global Small Capitalization Fund, American Funds Growth Fund, American Funds Growth-Income Fund, DWS International VIP, Fidelity VIP Overseas Portfolio, Lord Abbett Bond Debenture Portfolio, Invesco Small Cap Growth Portfolio, MFS(R) Research International Portfolio, Third Avenue Small Cap Value Portfolio, MSCI EAFE(R) Index Portfolio, Neuberger Berman Genesis Portfolio, Russell 2000(R) Index Portfolio and T. Rowe Price Small Cap Growth Portfolio - (the "Monitored Portfolios") and we monitor transfer activity in those Monitored Portfolios. In addition, as described below, we treat all American Funds Insurance Series portfolios ("American Funds portfolios") as Monitored Portfolios. We employ various means to monitor transfer activity, such as examining the frequency and size of transfers into and out of the Monitored Portfolios within given periods of time. For example, we currently monitor transfer activity to determine if, for each category of international, small-cap, and high-yield Portfolios, in a 12-month period there were, (1) six or more transfers involving the given category; (2) cumulative gross transfers involving the given category that exceed the current Participant's Account value; and (3) two or more "round-trips" involving any Fund in the given category. A round-trip generally is defined as a transfer in followed by a transfer out within the next seven calendar days or a transfer out followed by a transfer in within the next seven calendar days, in either case subject to certain other criteria. WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT OTHER FUNDS PRESENT A SIGNIFICANT OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE IN ARBITRAGE TRADING AND THEREFORE DO NOT MONITOR TRANSFER ACTIVITY IN THOSE FUNDS. We may change the Monitored Portfolios at any time without notice in our sole discretion. As a condition to making their Funds available in our products, American Funds requires us to treat all American Funds portfolios as Monitored Portfolios under our current frequent transfer policies and procedures. Further, American Funds requires us to impose additional specified monitoring criteria for all American Funds portfolios available under the Contract, regardless of the potential for arbitrage trading. We are required to monitor transfer activity in American Funds portfolios to determine if there were two or more transfers in followed by transfers out, in each case of a certain dollar amount or greater, in any 30-day period. A first violation of the American Funds monitoring policy will result in a written notice of violation; each additional violation will result in the imposition of a six-month restriction, during which period we will require all transfer requests to or from an American Funds portfolio to be submitted with an 29
485BPOS31st Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 31st
original signature. Further, as Monitored Portfolios, all American Funds portfolios also will be subject to our current frequent transfer policies, procedures and restrictions (described below), and transfer restrictions may be imposed upon a violation of either monitoring policy. Our policies and procedures may result in transfer restrictions being applied to deter frequent transfers. Currently, when we detect transfer activity in the Monitored Portfolios that exceeds our current transfer limits, we require future transfer requests to or from any Monitored Portfolios under that Contract to be submitted in writing with an original signature. A first occurrence will result in the imposition of this restriction for a six-month period; a second occurrence will result in the permanent imposition of the restriction. The detection and deterrence of harmful transfer activity involves judgments that are inherently subjective, such as the decision to monitor only those 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 Contract 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 Contract Owners and other persons with interests in the Contracts. We do not accommodate frequent transfers in any Fund and there are no arrangements in place to permit any Contract Owner to engage in frequent transfers; we apply our policies and procedures without exception, waiver, or special arrangement. The Funds may have adopted their own policies and procedures with respect to frequent transfers in their respective shares, and we reserve the right to enforce these policies and procedures. For example, 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 Funds describe any such policies and procedures, which may be more or less restrictive than the policies and procedures we have adopted. Although we may not have the contractual authority or the operational capacity to apply the frequent transfer policies and procedures of the Funds, we have entered into a written agreement, as required by SEC regulation, with each Fund or its principal underwriter that obligates us to provide to the Fund promptly upon request certain information about the trading activity of individual Contract Owners, and to execute instructions from the Fund to restrict or prohibit further purchases or transfers by specific Contract Owners who violate the frequent transfer policies established by the Fund. In addition, Contract Owners and other persons with interests in the Contracts should be aware that the purchase and redemption orders received by the Funds generally are "omnibus" orders from intermediaries such as retirement plans or separate accounts funding variable insurance products. The omnibus orders reflect the aggregation and netting of multiple orders from individual owners of variable insurance products 30
485BPOS32nd Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 32nd
and/or individual retirement plan participants. The omnibus nature of these orders may limit the Funds in their ability to apply their frequent transfer policies and procedures. In addition, the other insurance companies and/or retirement plans may have different policies and procedures or may not have any such policies and procedures because of contractual limitations. For these reasons, we cannot guarantee that the Funds (and thus Participants) will not be harmed by transfer activity relating to other insurance companies and/or retirement plans that may invest in the Funds. If a Fund believes that an omnibus order reflects one or more transfer requests from Participants engaged in frequent trading, the Fund may reject the entire omnibus order. In accordance with applicable law, we reserve the right to modify or terminate the transfer privilege at any time. We also reserve the right to defer or restrict the transfer privilege at any time that we are unable to purchase or redeem shares of any of the Funds, including any refusal or restriction on purchases or redemptions of their shares as a result of their own policies and procedures on frequent transfers (even if an entire omnibus order is rejected due to the frequent transfers of a single Participant). You should read the Portfolio prospectuses for more details. RESTRICTIONS ON LARGE TRANSFERS. Large transfers may increase brokerage and administrative costs of the underlying Funds and may disrupt portfolio management strategy, requiring a Fund to maintain a high cash position and possibly resulting in lost investment opportunities and forced liquidations. We do not monitor for large transfers to or from Funds except where the portfolio manager of a particular underlying Portfolio has brought large transfer activity to our attention for investigation on a case-by-case basis. For example, some portfolio managers have asked us to monitor for "block transfers" where transfer requests have been submitted on behalf of multiple Contract Owners by a third party such as an investment adviser. When we detect such large trades, we may impose restrictions similar to those described above where future transfer requests from that third party must be submitted in writing with an original signature. A first occurrence will result in the imposition of this restriction for a six-month period; a second occurrence will result in the permanent imposition of the restriction. LOANS -- 403(B) PLANS ONLY If you are in a 403(b) Plan, you may obtain a loan under the Contract from the value of your Participant's Account allocated to the General Account. Accumulation Units in the Separate Account are taken into account in determining the maximum amount of the loan. You would then be permitted to transfer Accumulation Units from the Separate Account to the General Account before the loan is made. Your Participant's Account serves as the only security for the loan. MetLife Investors USA may terminate a loan at its discretion in the event of a request for surrender. The Internal Revenue Code imposes limits on the amounts, duration, and repayment schedule for all 403(b) plan loans. If the Plan is subject to the requirements of Title 1 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, eligibility for, and the terms and conditions of the loan may be 31
485BPOS33rd Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 33rd
further limited by the terms of the Plan and will be determined by the plan administrator or other designated Plan official. Loan proceeds may cause you to incur tax liability (see "Federal Tax Considerations"). MetLife Investors USA may modify or terminate the granting of loans at any time, provided that any modification or termination will not affect outstanding loans. Fees may be charged for loan set-up and administration. Currently, the loan set-up fee is $50. This amount is deducted from the proceeds. At this time, there is no fee for administration. MODIFICATION OF THE CONTRACTS MetLife Investors USA must make Annuity payments involving life contingencies at no less than the minimum guaranteed Annuity rates incorporated into the Contracts, even if actual mortality experience is different. MetLife Investors USA is legally bound under the Contract to maintain these Annuity purchase rates. MetLife Investors USA must also abide by the Contract's provisions concerning: .. death benefits .. deductions from Purchase Payments .. deductions from Participant's Accounts for transaction charges .. deductions from the Separate Account for actuarial risk and administrative expense risk fees .. guaranteed rates with respect to fixed benefits MetLife Investors USA and the Owner may change the Contract by mutual agreement at any time. No such change may affect any Participant's Account where the Participant's interest is nonforfeitable, without the written consent of that Participant. Changes must be made in writing. Any changes must comply with state laws where the Contract is delivered. MetLife Investors USA may change such provisions without your consent to the extent permitted by the Contract, but only: .. with respect to any Purchase Payments received as a tax free transfer under the Code after the effective date of the change; .. with respect to benefits and values provided by Purchase Payments made after the effective date of the change to the extent that such Purchase Payments in any Certificate Year exceed the first year's Purchase Payments; or .. to the extent necessary to conform the Contract to any Federal or state law, regulation or ruling. 32

If you have any questions about any of the provisions of your Contract, you may write or call: MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company 11225 North Community House Road Charlotte, NC 28277 Phone: (800) 283-4536 CREDITING ACCUMULATION UNITS IN THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT MetLife Investors USA will credit Accumulation Units to a Series upon receipt of your Purchase Payment or transfer. MetLife Investors USA determines the number of Accumulation Units to be credited to a Series by dividing the net amount allocated to a Series out of your Purchase Payment by the value of an Accumulation Unit in the Series next computed following receipt of the Purchase Payment or transfer. SEPARATE ACCOUNT ACCUMULATION UNIT CURRENT VALUES [SIDE BAR: The Net Investment Factor is an index of the percentage change (adjusted for distributions by the Fund and the deduction of the mortality and expense risk and distribution expense charges) in the net asset value of the Fund in which a Series is invested, since the preceding Valuation Date. The net investment factor may be greater or less than 1 depending upon the Fund's investment performance.] The current value of Accumulation Units of a particular Series depends upon the investment experience of the Fund in which the Series invests its assets. Purchase Payments and transfer requests are credited to a Participant's Account on the basis of the Accumulation Unit value next determined after receipt of a Purchase Payment or transfer request. The value of Accumulation Units is determined each Business Day as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (currently 4:00 p.m. Eastern time ). The value is calculated by multiplying the value of an Accumulation Unit in the Series on the immediately preceding Valuation Date by the net investment factor for the period since that day. The NET INVESTMENT FACTOR is determined for any Business Day by dividing (i) the net asset value of a share of the Fund which is represented by such Series at the close of business on such day, plus the per share amount of any distributions made by such Fund on such day by (ii) the net asset value of a share of such Fund determined as of the close of business on the preceding Business Day and then subtracting from the result the daily factors for mortality and expense risks (.003699%) for each calendar day between the preceding Business Day and the end of the current Business Day. You bear the risk that the aggregate current value invested in the Series may at any time be less than, equal to or more than the amount that you originally allocated to the Series. SURRENDER FROM THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT You may surrender all or a portion of the cash value of your Participant's Account at any time prior to the Annuity Date. A surrender may result in adverse Federal income tax consequences to you including current taxation on the distribution and a penalty tax on the early withdrawal and may be restricted by the plan or Federal tax law. These consequences are discussed in more detail under "Federal Tax Considerations." You should consult your tax adviser before making a withdrawal. 33
485BPOS35th Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 35th
The surrender value of your Participant's Account in the Separate Account prior to the Annuity Date is determined by multiplying the number of Accumulation Units for each Series credited to your Contract by the current value of an Accumulation Unit in the Series and subtracting any applicable surrender charges. MetLife Investors USA will determine the value of the number of Accumulation Units withdrawn at the next computed Accumulation Unit value. If you request a partial surrender from more than one Series you must specify the allocation of the partial surrender among the Series. You may not make a partial surrender if the surrender would cause your interest in any Series or the General Account to have an after surrender value of less than $200. However, if you are withdrawing the entire amount allocated to a Series these restrictions do not apply. PAYMENT OF SURRENDER AMOUNT Payment of any amount surrendered from a Series will be made to you within seven days of the date that MetLife Investors USA receives your written request. MetLife Investors USA may suspend surrenders when: .. The SEC restricts trading on the New York Stock Exchange or the Exchange is closed for other than weekends or holidays. .. The SEC permits the suspension of withdrawals. .. The SEC determines that an emergency exists that makes disposal of portfolio securities or valuation of assets of the Funds not reasonably practicable. We may withhold payment of surrender, withdrawal or loan proceeds if any portion of those proceeds would be derived from a Contract Owner's check that has not yet cleared (I.E., that could still be dishonored by your banking institution). We may use telephone, fax, Internet or other means of communications to verify that payment from the Contract Owner's check has been or will be collected. We will not delay payment longer than necessary for us to verify that payment has been or will be collected. Contract Owners may avoid the possibility of delay in the disbursement of proceeds coming from a check that has not yet cleared by providing us with a certified check. ACCOUNT STATEMENTS You will receive a written account statement each calendar quarter in which a transaction occurs before the Annuity Date. Even if you do not engage in any transactions you will receive at least one written account statement per year. The statement shows: .. all transactions for the period being reported .. the number of Accumulation Units that are credited to your Participant's Account in each Series .. the current Accumulation Unit value for each Series 34
485BPOS36th Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 36th
.. your Participant's Account as of the end of the reporting period MetLife Investors USA is careful to ensure the accuracy of calculations and transfers to and within the Separate Account. However, errors may still occur. You should review your statements and confirmations of transactions carefully and promptly advise MetLife Investors USA of any discrepancy. Allocations and transfers reflected in a statement will be considered final at the end of 60 days from the date of the statement. VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS The value of your Participant's Account in each Series may be applied to provide you with Variable Annuity payments. The dollar amount of the Variable Annuity payments that you receive will reflect the investment experience of the Series, but will not be affected by adverse mortality experience which may exceed the mortality risk charge established under the Contract. ASSUMED INVESTMENT RETURN Unless you elect otherwise, the Assumed Investment Return is 4.25% per year. If the laws and regulations of your State allow, you may elect an Assumed Investment Return of 3.50%, 5% or 6%. The Assumed Investment Return does not bear any relationship to the actual net investment experience of the Series. Your choice of Assumed Investment Return affects the pattern of your Annuity payments. Your Annuity payments will vary from the Assumed Investment Return depending on whether the investment experience of the Series in which you have an interest is better or worse than the Assumed Investment Return. The higher your Assumed Investment Return, the higher your first Annuity payment will be. Your next payments will only increase in proportion to the amount by which the investment experience of your chosen Series exceeds the Assumed Investment Return and Separate Account charges. Likewise, your payments will decrease if the investment experience of your chosen Series is less than the Assumed Investment Return and Separate Account charges. A lower Assumed Investment Return will result in a lower initial Annuity payment, but subsequent Annuity payments will increase more rapidly or decline more slowly as changes occur in the investment experience of the Series. Conversely, a higher Assumed Investment Return would result in a higher initial payment than a lower Assumed Investment Return, but later payments will rise more slowly or fall more rapidly. ELECTION OF ANNUITY DATE AND FORM OF ANNUITY You choose the Annuity Date and the form of Annuity payment. ELECTION OF ANNUITY DATE If you do not choose an Annuity Date at least thirty-one days before Annuitization, your Normal Annuity Date automatically will be the later of: .. the month in which you attain age 75, or 35
485BPOS37th Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 37th
.. the date you are required to take a distribution under the terms of the Plan to which the Contract was issued. You may select an optional Annuity Date that is earlier than the Normal Annuity Date described above. This Annuity Date may be the first day of any month before the Normal Annuity Date. Please note that Qualified Contracts may require a different Normal Annuity Date and may prohibit the selection of certain optional Annuity Dates. [SIDE BAR: There are two people who are involved in payments under your Annuity: - you - the Beneficiary] FORM OF ANNUITY Currently, MetLife Investors USA provides you with five forms of Annuity payments. Each Annuity payment option, except Option 5, is available on both a Fixed Annuity payment and Variable Annuity payment basis. Option 5 is available on a Fixed Annuity payment basis only. OPTION 1 -- LIFE ANNUITY You receive Annuity payments monthly during your lifetime. These payments stop with the last payment due before your death. Because MetLife Investors USA does not guarantee a minimum number of payments under this arrangement, this option offers the maximum level of monthly payments, involving a life contingency. OPTION 2 -- LIFE ANNUITY WITH 120, 180, OR 240 MONTHLY PAYMENTS CERTAIN You receive a guaranteed minimum number of monthly Annuity payments during your lifetime. In addition, MetLife Investors USA guarantees that your Beneficiary will receive monthly payments for the remainder of the period certain, if you die during that period. OPTION 3 -- INSTALLMENT REFUND LIFE ANNUITY An Annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of an individual. You receive a guaranteed minimum number of monthly payments which are equal to the amount of your Participant's Account allocated to this option divided by the first monthly payment. If you die before receiving the minimum number of payments, the remaining payments will be made to your Beneficiary. OPTION 4 -- JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR LIFE ANNUITY You receive Annuity payments monthly during the lifetime of you and another payee (the joint payee) and payments are made during the lifetime of the survivor of the two of you. MetLife Investors USA stops making payments with the last payment before the death of the last surviving payee. MetLife Investors USA does not guarantee a minimum number of payments under this arrangement. For example, you or the other payee might receive only one Annuity payment if both of you die before the second Annuity payment. The election of this option is ineffective if either of you dies before Annuitization. In that case, the survivor becomes the sole payee, and MetLife Investors USA does not pay death proceeds because of the death of the other payee. 36
485BPOS38th Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 38th
OPTION 5 -- PAYMENTS FOR A DESIGNATED PERIOD (FIXED ANNUITY ONLY) MetLife Investors USA makes Annuity payments monthly to you or to the Beneficiary at your death, for a selected number of years ranging from five to thirty. The amount of each payment will be based on an interest rate determined by MetLife Investors USA that will not be less than an assumed rate of return of 3.50% per year. You may not commute Fixed Annuity payments to a lump sum under this option. If your Contract is a Qualified Contract, this option may not always satisfy minimum required distribution rules. Consult a tax advisor before electing this option. Due to underwriting, administrative or Internal Revenue Code considerations, there may be limitations on payments to the survivor under Option 4 and/or the duration of the guarantee period under Options 2 and 5. If you do not choose a form of Annuity payment, Option 2, a life annuity with a guaranteed minimum of 120 monthly payments, will automatically be applied under the Contract. You may make changes in the optional form of Annuity payment at any time until 31 days before the Annuity date. The first year's Annuity payment described in Options 1 - 4 is calculated on the basis of: .. the mortality table specified in the Contract .. the age, and where permitted, the sex of the Annuitant .. the type of Annuity payment option selected, and .. the assumed investment return selected. For example, if you select an Annuity Option that guarantees payments for your lifetime and your spouse's lifetime, your payments will be lower than if you selected an Annuity Option with payments over only your lifetime. Annuity Options that guarantee that payments will be made for a certain number of years regardless of whether you are alive (such as a Life Annuity with 120, 180, or 240 Monthly Payments Certain and Installment Life Refund Annuity) result in payments smaller than with Annuity Options without such guarantee (such as Life Annuity and Joint and Last Survivor Life Annuity). In addition, to the extent the Annuity Option has a guarantee period, choosing a shorter guarantee period will result in each payment being larger. If you were issued a certificate before state law mandated unisex annuity rates (if applicable in your state) and that certificate had annuity rates that took the annuitant's sex into account, the annuity rates we use for that certificate will not be less than the guaranteed rates in the certificate when it was issued. The Fixed Annuity payments described in Option 5 are calculated on the basis of: .. the number of years in the payment period, and .. the interest rate guaranteed with respect to the option. 37
485BPOS39th Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 39th
Fixed Annuities are funded through the General Account of MetLife Investors USA. FREQUENCY OF PAYMENT Your payments under all options will be made on a monthly basis unless you and MetLife Investors USA have agreed to a different arrangement (choosing less frequent payments will result in each payment being larger.) Payments from each Series must be at least $50. If a payment from a Series will be less than $50, MetLife Investors USA has the right to decrease the frequency of payments so that each payment from a Series will be at least $50. LEVEL PAYMENTS VARYING ANNUALLY Your Variable Annuity payments are determined yearly rather than monthly. As a result, you will receive a uniform monthly Annuity payment for each Annuity year. The level of payments for each year is based on the investment performance of the Series up to the Valuation Date as of which the payments are determined for the year. As a result, the amounts of the Annuity payments will vary with the investment performance of the Series from year to year rather than from month to month. Your monthly Variable Annuity payments for the first year will be calculated on the last Valuation Date of the second calendar week before the Annuity date. The amount of your monthly Variable Annuity payments will be calculated using a formula described in the Contract. On each anniversary of the Annuity date, MetLife Investors USA will determine the total monthly payments for the year then beginning. These payments will be determined by multiplying the number of Annuity units in each Series from which payments are to be made by the annuity unit value of that Series for the valuation period in which the first payment for that period is due. After calculating the amount due to you, MetLife Investors USA transfers the amount of the year's Variable Annuity payments to a General Account at the beginning of the year. Although the amount in the Separate Account is credited to you and transferred to the General Account, you do not have any property rights in this amount. You do have a contractual right to receive your Annuity payments. The monthly Annuity payments for the year are made from the General Account with interest using the standard assumed investment return of 4.25% or the Assumed Investment Return that you selected. As a result, MetLife Investors USA will experience profits or losses on the amounts placed in the General Account in providing level monthly payments to you during the year that meet the Assumed Investment Return that you selected. For example, if the net investment income and gains in the General Account are lower than the Assumed Investment Return selected, MetLife Investors USA will experience a loss. You will not benefit from any increases or be disadvantaged from any decreases in any Annuity Unit Values during the year because the Annuity payments for that year are set at the beginning of the year. These increases and decreases will be reflected in the calculation of Annuity payments for the following year. 38
485BPOS40th Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 40th
ANNUITY UNIT VALUES This is how MetLife Investors USA calculates the Annuity Unit Value for each Series: .. First, MetLife Investors USA determines the change in investment experience (including any investment-related charge) for the underlying Fund from the previous trading day to the current trading day. .. Next, it subtracts the daily equivalent of your insurance-related charge (general administrative expense and mortality and expense risk charges) for each day since the last day the Annuity Unit Value was calculated. .. Then, it divides the result by the quantity of one plus the weekly equivalent of your Assumed Investment Return. .. Finally, the previous Annuity Unit Value is multiplied by this result. DEATH BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE If you die before the Annuity Date, your Beneficiary(ies) will receive a death benefit that is equal to the Participant's Account. If you are younger than age 65 at the time of your death, your Beneficiary(ies) will be entitled to receive a lump sum settlement equal to the greater of: .. your Purchase Payments less partial withdrawals or amounts already applied to Annuity payments (including any applicable surrender charge); or .. your Participant's Account. Your Beneficiary(ies) receive the death benefit as either: 1) A lump sum that must be made within five (5) years of your death; or 2) Annuity income under Annuity Income Options One, Two or Five described in Article 7 of the Contract. If your Beneficiary(ies) chooses one of the Annuity income options: .. Payments must begin within one year of your death (However, if your spouse is the sole designated beneficiary under a Qualified Contract, your spouse may delay commencement of payments to the date that you would have reached 70 1/2.) .. The guaranteed period under Option Two or the designated period under Option Five may not be longer than the Beneficiary's life expectancy under applicable tables specified by the Internal Revenue Service. .. The Participant's Account on the date of the first Annuity payment will be used to determine the amount of the death benefit. 39
485BPOS41st Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 41st
The death benefit will be determined when MetLife Investors USA receives both due proof of death and an election for the payment method. Note that if MetLife Investors USA is notified of your death before any requested transaction is completed (including transactions under a dollar cost averaging or reallocation program), we will cancel the request. If your spouse is your sole Beneficiary under an IRA, he or she may choose to succeed to your rights as Participant rather than to take the death benefit. If you have more than one Beneficiary living at the time of your death, each will share the proceeds of the death benefit equally unless you elect otherwise. If you outlive all of your Beneficiaries, the death benefit will be paid to your estate in a lump sum. No Beneficiary shall have the right to assign or transfer any future payments under the Options, except as provided in the election or by law. You will also be considered to have outlived your Beneficiary(ies) in the following situations: .. Your Beneficiary(ies) and you die at the same time. .. Your Beneficiary(ies) dies within 15 days of your death and proof of your death is received by MetLife Investors USA before the date due. Proof of death includes a certified death certificate, or attending physician's statement, a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death, or other documents that MetLife Investors USA agrees to accept as proof of death. DEATH AFTER THE ANNUITY DATE If the Annuitant dies on or after the Annuity Date, the amounts payable to the Beneficiary(ies) or other properly designated payees will consist of any continuing payments under the Annuity Payment option in effect. In this case, the Beneficiary will: .. have all the remaining rights and powers under a Contract, and .. be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Contract. If none of your Beneficiaries survive the Annuitant, the value of any remaining payments certain on the death of Annuitant, calculated on the basis of the assumed investment return that you previously chose, will be paid in a lump sum to the Annuitant's estate unless other provisions have been made and approved by MetLife Investors USA. This value is calculated on the next day of payment following receipt of due proof of death. Unless otherwise restricted, a Beneficiary receiving variable payments under Option Two or Three may elect at any time to receive the present value of the remaining number of Annuity payments certain in a lump sum payment after the death of an Annuitant. The present value of the remaining Annuity payments will be calculated on the basis of the 40
485BPOS42nd Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 42nd
assumed investment return previously selected. This lump sum payment election is not available to a Beneficiary receiving Fixed Annuity payments. ABANDONED PROPERTY REQUIREMENTS Every state has unclaimed property laws which generally declare non-ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974) annuity contracts to be abandoned after a period of inactivity of three to five years from the contract's maturity date or the date the death benefit is due and payable. For example, if the payment of a death benefit has been triggered, but, after a thorough search, we are still unable to locate the Beneficiary of the death benefit, or the Beneficiary does not come forward to claim the death benefit in a timely manner, the death benefit will be paid to the abandoned property division or unclaimed property office of the state in which the Beneficiary or you last resided, as shown on our books and records, or to our state of domicile. ("Escheatment" is the formal, legal name for this process.) However, the state is obligated to pay the death benefit (without interest) if your Beneficiary steps forward to claim it with the proper documentation. To prevent your Contract's proceeds from being paid to the state abandoned or unclaimed property office, it is important that you update your Beneficiary designations, including addresses, if and as they change. Please contact us to make such changes. 41

FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS INTRODUCTION The following information on taxes is a general discussion of the subject. It is not intended as tax advice. The Internal Revenue Code ("Code") and the provisions of the Code that govern the Contract are complex and subject to change. The applicability of Federal income tax rules may vary with your particular circumstances. This discussion does not include all the Federal income tax rules that may affect You and your Contract. Nor does this discussion address other Federal tax consequences (such as estate and gift taxes, sales to foreign individuals or entities), or state or local tax consequences, which may affect your investment in the Contract. As a result, You should always consult a tax adviser for complete information and advice applicable to your individual situation. You are responsible for determining whether your purchase of a Contract, withdrawals, income payments and any other transactions under your Contract satisfy applicable tax law. We are not responsible for determining if your employer's plan or arrangement satisfies the requirements of the Code and/or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). We do not expect to incur Federal, state or local income taxes on the earnings or realized capital gains attributable to the Separate Account. However, if we do incur such taxes in the future, we reserve the right to charge amounts allocated to the Separate Account for these taxes. To the extent permitted under Federal tax law, we may claim the benefit of the corporate dividends received deduction and of certain foreign tax credits attributable to taxes paid by certain of the portfolios to foreign jurisdictions. Any Code reference to "spouse" includes those persons who are married spouses under state law, regardless of sex. QUALIFIED ANNUITY CONTRACTS INTRODUCTION The Contract may be purchased through certain types of retirement plans that receive favorable treatment under the Code ("tax qualified plans"). Tax-qualified plans include arrangements described in Code Sections 401(a), 401(k), 403(a), 403(b) or tax sheltered annuities ("TSA"), 408 or "IRAs" (including SEP and SIMPLE IRAs), 408A or "Roth IRAs" or 457 (b) or 457(b) governmental plans. Extensive special tax rules apply to qualified plans and to the annuity Contracts used in connection with these plans. Therefore, the following discussion provides only general information about the use of the Contract with the various types of qualified plans. Adverse tax consequences may result if You do not ensure that contributions, distributions and other transactions with respect to the Contract comply with the law. 42
485BPOS44th Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 44th
The rights to any benefit under the plan will be subject to the terms and conditions of the plan itself as well as the terms and conditions of the Contract. We exercise no control over whether a particular retirement plan or a particular contribution to the plan satisfies the applicable requirements of the Code, or whether a particular individual is entitled to participate or benefit under a plan. All qualified plans and arrangements receive tax deferral under the Code. Since there are no additional tax benefits in funding such retirement arrangements with an annuity, there should be reasons other than tax deferral for acquiring the annuity within the plan. Such non-tax benefits may include additional insurance benefits, such as the availability of a guaranteed income for life. A Contract may also be available in connection with an employer's non-qualified deferred compensation plan and qualified governmental excess benefit arrangement to provide benefits to certain employees in the plan. The tax rules regarding these plans are complex. We do not provide tax advice. Please consult your tax adviser about your particular situation. ACCUMULATION The tax rules applicable to qualified plans vary according to the type of plan and the terms and conditions of the plan itself. Both the amount of the contribution that may be made and the tax deduction or exclusion that You may claim for that contribution are limited under qualified plans. See the SAI for a description of qualified plan types and annual current contribution limitations which are subject to change from year-to-year. Purchase payments or contributions to IRAs or tax qualified retirement plans of an employer may be taken from current income on a before tax basis or after tax basis. Purchase payments made on a "before tax" basis entitle You to a tax deduction or are not subject to current income tax. Purchase payments made on an "after tax" basis do not reduce your taxable income or give You a tax deduction. Contributions may also consist of transfers or rollovers as described below which are not subject to the annual limitations on contributions. The Contract will accept as a single purchase payment a transfer or rollover from another IRA or rollover from an eligible retirement plan of an employer (i.e., 401(a), 401(k), 403(a), 403(b) or governmental 457(b) plan.) It will also accept a rollover or transfer from a SIMPLE IRA after the taxpayer has participated in such arrangement for at least two years. As part of the single purchase payment, the IRA Contract will also accept an IRA contribution subject to the Code limits for the year of purchase. TAXATION OF ANNUITY DISTRIBUTIONS If contributions are made on a "before tax" basis, You generally pay income taxes on the full amount of money You withdraw as well as income earned under the Contract. Withdrawals attributable to any 43
485BPOS45th Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 45th
after-tax contributions are your basis in the Contract and not subject to income tax (except for the portion of the withdrawal allocable to earnings). Under current Federal income tax rules, the taxable portion of distributions under annuity contracts and qualified plans (including IRAs) is not eligible for the reduced tax rate applicable to long-term capital gains and qualifying dividends. If You meet certain requirements, your Roth IRA, Roth 403(b) and Roth 401(k) earnings are free from Federal income taxes. With respect to IRA Contracts, we will withhold a portion of the taxable amount of your withdrawal for income taxes, unless You elect otherwise. The amount we withhold is determined by the Code. WITHDRAWALS PRIOR TO AGE 59 1/2 A taxable withdrawal or distribution from a qualified plan which is subject to income tax may also be subject to a 10% Federal income tax penalty for "early" distribution if taken prior to age 59 1/2, unless an exception described below applies. These exceptions include distributions made: (a) on account of your death or disability, or (b) as part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments payable for your life or joint lives of You and your designated beneficiary and You are separated from employment. If You receive systematic payments that You intend to qualify for the "substantially equal periodic payments" exception noted above, any modifications (except due to death or disability) to your payment before age 59 1/2 or within five years after beginning these payments, whichever is later, will result in the retroactive imposition of the 10% Federal income tax penalty with interest. Such modifications may include additional purchase payments or withdrawals (including tax-free transfers or rollovers of income payments) from the Contract. In addition, a withdrawal or distribution from a qualified annuity Contract other than an IRA (including SEPs and SIMPLEs) will avoid the penalty if: (1) the distribution is on separation from employment after age 55; (2) the distribution is made pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order ("QDRO"); (3) the distribution is to pay deductible medical expenses; or (4) if the distribution is to pay IRS levies (and made after December 31, 1999). The 10% Federal income tax penalty on early distribution does not apply to governmental 457(b) plan Contracts. However, it does apply to distributions from 457(b) plans of employers which are state or local governments to the extent that the distribution is attributable to rollovers accepted from other types of eligible retirement plans. In addition to death, disability and as part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments as indicated above, a withdrawal or distribution from 44
485BPOS46th Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 46th
an IRA (including SEPs and SIMPLEs and Roth IRAs) will avoid the penalty (1) if the distribution is to pay deductible medical expenses; (2) if the distribution is to pay IRS levies (and made after December 31, 1999); (3) if the distribution is used to pay for medical insurance (if You are unemployed), qualified higher education expenses, or for a qualified first time home purchase up to $10,000. Other exceptions may be applicable under certain circumstances and special rules may be applicable in connection with the exceptions enumerated above. ROLLOVERS Your Contract is non-forfeitable (i.e., not subject to the claims of your creditors) and non-transferable (i.e., You may not transfer it to someone else). Nevertheless, Contracts held in certain employer plans subject to ERISA may be transferred in part pursuant to a QDRO. Under certain circumstances, You may be able to transfer amounts distributed from your Contract to another eligible retirement plan or IRA. For 457(b) plans maintained by non-governmental employers, if certain conditions are met, amounts may be transferred into another 457(b) plan maintained by a non-governmental employer. Generally, a distribution may be eligible for rollover. Certain types of distributions cannot be rolled over, such as distributions received on account of: (a) minimum distribution requirements, or (b) financial hardship. 20% WITHHOLDING ON ELIGIBLE ROLLOVER DISTRIBUTIONS For certain qualified employer plans, we are required to withhold 20% of the taxable portion of your withdrawal that constitutes an "eligible rollover distribution" for Federal income taxes. The amount we withhold is determined by the Code. You may avoid withholding if You assign or transfer a withdrawal from this Contract directly into another qualified plan or IRA. Similarly, You may be able to avoid withholding on a transfer into this Contract from an existing qualified plan You may have with another provider by arranging to have the transfer made directly to us. For taxable withdrawals that are not "eligible rollover distributions," the Code requires different withholding rules which determine the withholding amounts. DEATH BENEFITS The death benefit is taxable to the recipient in the same manner as if paid to the Contract owner or plan participant (under the rules for withdrawals or income payments, whichever is applicable). Distributions required from a qualified annuity Contract following your death depend on whether You die before You had converted your Contract to an annuity form and started taking annuity payments (your 45
485BPOS47th Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 47th
Annuity Starting Date). If You die on or after your Annuity Starting Date, the remaining portion of the interest in the Contract must be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of death. If You die before your Annuity Starting Date, the entire interest in the Contract must be distributed within five (5) years after the date of death, or as periodic payments over a period not extending beyond the life or life expectancy of the designated beneficiary (provided such payments begin within one year of your death). Your designated beneficiary is the person to whom benefit rights under the Contract pass by reason of death; the beneficiary must be a natural person in order to elect a periodic payment option based on life expectancy or a period exceeding five years. For required minimum distributions following the death of the annuitant of a qualified Contract, the five-year rule is applied without regard to calendar year 2009. For instance, for a contract owner who died in 2007, the five-year period would end in 2013 instead of 2012. The required minimum distribution rules are complex, so consult your tax adviser because the application of these rules to your particular circumstances may have been impacted by the 2009 required minimum distribution waiver. Additionally, if the annuity is payable to (or for the benefit of) your surviving spouse, that portion of the Contract may be continued with your spouse as the owner. If your spouse is your beneficiary, and your Contract permits, your spouse may delay the start of these payments until December 31 of the year in which You would have reached age 70 1/2. If your spouse is your beneficiary, your spouse may be able to rollover the death proceeds into another eligible retirement plan in which he or she participates, if permitted under the receiving plan. Alternatively, if your spouse is your sole beneficiary, he or she may elect to rollover the death proceeds into his or her own IRA. If your beneficiary is not your spouse and your plan and Contract permit, your beneficiary may be able to rollover the death proceeds via a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer into an inherited IRA. However, a non-spouse beneficiary may not treat the inherited IRA as his or her own IRA. Additionally, for Contracts issued in connection with qualified plans subject to ERISA, the spouse or ex-spouse of the owner may have rights in the Contract. In such a case, the owner may need the consent of the spouse or ex-spouse to change annuity options or make a withdrawal from the Contract. REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS Generally, You must begin receiving retirement plan withdrawals by April 1 following the latter of: (a) the calendar year in which You reach age 70 1/2, or (b) the calendar year You retire, provided You do not own more than 5% of your employer. 46
485BPOS48th Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 48th
For IRAs (including SEPs and SIMPLEs), You must begin receiving withdrawals by April 1 of the year after You reach age 70 1/2 even if You have not retired. A tax penalty of 50% applies to the amount by which the required minimum distribution exceeds the actual distribution. You may not satisfy minimum distributions for one employer's qualified plan (i.e., 401(a), 403(a), 457(b)) with distributions from another qualified plan of the same or a different employer. However, an aggregation rule does apply in the case of IRAs (including SEPs and SIMPLEs) or 403(b) plans. The minimum required distribution is calculated with respect to each IRA, but the aggregate distribution may be taken from any one or more of your IRAs/SEPs. Similarly, the amount of required minimum distribution is calculated separately with respect to each 403(b) arrangement, but the aggregate amount of the required distribution may be taken from any one or more of the your 403(b) plan contracts. Complex rules apply to the calculation of these withdrawals. In general, income tax regulations permit income payments to increase based not only with respect to the investment experience of the portfolios but also with respect to actuarial gains. The regulations also require that the value of benefits under a deferred annuity including certain death benefits in excess of Contract value must be added to the amount credited to your account in computing the amount required to be distributed over the applicable period. We will provide You with additional information regarding the amount that is subject to minimum distribution under this rule. You should consult your own tax adviser as to how these rules affect your own distribution under this rule. If You intend to receive your minimum distributions which are payable over the joint lives of You and a beneficiary who is not your spouse (or over a period not exceeding the joint life expectancy of You and your non-spousal beneficiary), be advised that Federal tax rules may require that payments be made over a shorter period or may require that payments to the beneficiary be reduced after your death to meet the minimum distribution incidental benefit rules and avoid the 50% excise tax. You should consult your own tax adviser as to how these rules affect your own Contract. Required minimum distribution rules that apply to other types of IRAs while You are alive do not apply to Roth IRAs. However, in general, the same rules with respect to minimum distributions required to be made to a beneficiary after your death under other IRAs do apply to Roth IRAs. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING TSA (ERISA AND NON-ERISA) 403(B) SPECIAL RULES REGARDING EXCHANGES In order to satisfy tax regulations, contract exchanges within a 403(b) plan after September 24, 2007, must, at a minimum, meet the following requirements: (1) the plan must allow the exchange; (2) the exchange must 47
485BPOS49th Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 49th
not result in a reduction in a participant's or a beneficiary's accumulated benefit: (3) the receiving contract includes distribution restrictions that are no less stringent than those imposed on the contract being exchanged; and (4) if the issuer receiving the exchanges is not part of the plan, the employer enters into an agreement with the issuer to provide information to enable the contract provider to comply with Code requirements. Such information would include details concerning severance from employment, hardship withdrawals, loans and tax basis. You should consult your tax or legal counsel for any advice relating to Contract exchanges or any other matter relating to these regulations. WITHDRAWALS If You are under age 59 1/2, You generally cannot withdraw money from your TSA Contract unless the withdrawal: 1. Related to purchase payments made prior to 1989 and pre-1989 earnings on those purchase payments; 2. Is exchanged to another permissible investment under your 403(b) plan; 3. Relates to contributions to an annuity contract that are not salary reduction elective deferrals , if your plan allows it; 4. Occurs after You die, leave your job or become disabled (as defined by the Code); 5. Is for financial hardship (but only to the extent of elective deferrals), if your plan allows it; 6. Relates to distributions attributable to certain TSA plan terminations, if the conditions of the Code are met; 7. Relates to rollover or after-tax contributions; or 8. Is for the purchase of permissive service credit under a governmental defined benefit plan. In addition, a Section 403(b) Contract is permitted to distribute retirement benefits attributable to pre-tax contributions other than elective deferrals to the participant no earlier than upon the earlier of the participant's severance from employment or upon the prior occurrence of some event, such as after a fixed number of years, the attainment of a stated age or disability. DISTINCTION FOR PUERTO RICO CODE An annuity Contract may be purchased by an employer for an employee under a qualified pension, profit sharing, stock bonus, annuity, or a "cash or deferred" arrangement plan established pursuant to Section 1081.01 of the 2011 PR Code. To be tax qualified under the 2011 PR Code, a plan must comply with the requirements of Section 1081.01(a) of the 2011 PR Code which includes certain participation requirements, among other requirements. A trust created to hold assets for a qualified plan is exempt from tax on its investment income. 48
485BPOS50th Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 50th
CONTRIBUTIONS The employer is entitled to a current income tax deduction for contributions made to a qualified plan, subject to statutory limitations on the amount that may be contributed each year. The plan contributions by the employer are not required to be included in the current income of the employee. DISTRIBUTIONS Any amount received or made available to the employee under the qualified plan is includible in the gross income of the employee in the taxable year in which received or made available. In such case, the amount paid or contributed by the employer shall not constitute consideration paid by the employee for the Contract for purposes of determining the amount of annuity payments required to be included in the employee's gross income. Thus, amounts actually distributed or made available to any employee under the qualified plan will be included in their entirety in the employee's gross income. Lump-sum proceeds from a Puerto Rico qualified retirement plan due to separation from service will generally be taxed at a 20% capital gain tax rate to be withheld at the source. A special rate of 10% may apply instead, if the plan satisfies the following requirements: (1) the plan's trust is organized under the laws of Puerto Rico, or has a Puerto Rico resident trustee and uses such trustee as paying agent; and (2) 10% of all plan's trust assets (calculated based on the average balance of the investments of the trust) attributable to participants who are Puerto Rico residents must be invested in "property located in Puerto Rico" for a three-year period. If these two requirements are not satisfied, the distribution will generally be subject to the 20% tax rate. The three-year period includes the year of the distribution and the two immediately preceding years. In the case of a defined contribution plan that maintains separate accounts for each participant, the described 10% investment requirement may be satisfied in the accounts of a participant that chooses to invest in such fashion rather than at the trust level. Property located in Puerto Rico includes shares of stock of a Puerto Rico Registered Investment Company (RIC), fixed or variable annuities issued by a domestic insurance company or by a foreign insurance company that derives more than 80% of its gross income from sources within Puerto Rico and bank deposits. The PR 2011 Code does not impose a penalty tax in cases of early (premature) distributions from a qualified plan. ROLLOVER Deferral of the recognition of income continues upon the receipt of a distribution by a participant from a qualified plan, if the distribution is contributed to another qualified retirement plan or traditional individual retirement account for the employee's benefit no later than sixty (60) days after the distribution. 49

ERISA CONSIDERATIONS In the context of a Puerto Rico qualified retirement plan trust, the IRS has recently held that the transfer of assets and liabilities from a qualified retirement plan trust under the Code to that type of plan would generally be treated as a distribution includible in gross income for U.S. income tax purposes even if the Puerto Rico retirement plan is a plan described in ERISA Section 1022(i)(1). By contrast, a transfer from a qualified retirement plan trust under the Code to a Puerto Rico qualified retirement plan trust that has made an election under ERISA Section 1022(i)(2) is not treated as a distribution from the transferor plan for U.S. income tax purposes because a Puerto Rico retirement plan that has made an election under ERISA Section 1022(i)(2) is treated as a qualified retirement plan for purposes Code Section 401(a). The IRS has determined that the above described rules prescribing the inclusion in income of transfers of assets and liabilities to a Puerto Rico retirement plan trust described in ERISA Section 1022(i)(1) would be applicable to transfers taking effect after December 31, 2012. Similar to the IRS Revenue Ruling 2013-17, the U.S. Department of Labor issued DOL Technical Release No. 2013-04 on September 18, 2013 providing that, where the Secretary of Labor has authority to regulate with respect to the provisions of ERISA dealing with the use of the term "spouse", spouse will be read to refer to any individuals who are lawfully married under any state law, including same-sex spouses, and without regard to whether their state of domicile recognizes same-sex marriage. Thus, for ERISA purposes as well as Federal tax purposes, an employee benefit plan participant who marries a person of the same sex in a jurisdiction that recognizes same-sex marriage will continue to be treated as married even if the couple moves to a jurisdiction, like Puerto Rico, that does not recognize same-sex marriage. VOTING RIGHTS As the owner of the Separate Account, MetLife Investors USA is the legal owner of the shares of the Funds. Based upon MetLife Investors USA's current view of applicable law, you have voting interests under the Contract concerning Fund shares and are entitled to vote on Fund proposals at all regular and special shareholders meetings. Therefore, you are entitled to give us instructions for the number of shares which are deemed attributable to your Participant's Account. MetLife Investors USA will vote all shares of the underlying Funds as directed by you and others who have voting interests in the Funds. MetLife Investors USA will send you, at a last known address, all periodic reports, proxy materials and written requests for instructions on how to vote those shares. When MetLife Investors USA receives these instructions, 50
485BPOS52nd Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 52nd
it will vote all of the shares in proportion to the instructions. If MetLife Investors USA does not receive your voting instructions, it will vote your interest in the same proportion as represented by the votes it receives from the other Owners and Participants. The effect of this proportional voting is that a small number of Contract Owners may control the outcome of a vote. If MetLife Investors USA determines that it is permitted to vote the shares in its own right due to changes in the law or in the interpretation of the law it may do so. MetLife Investors USA is under no duty to inquire into voting instructions or into the authority of the person issuing such instructions. All instructions will be valid unless MetLife Investors USA has actual knowledge that they are not. When Annuity payments begin, the Annuitant will have all voting rights in regard to Fund shares. There are certain circumstances under which MetLife Investors USA may disregard voting instructions. However, in this event, a summary of our action and the reasons for such action will appear in the next semiannual report. The number of votes that each person having the right to vote receives is determined on a record date that is set no more than 90 days before the meeting. Voting instructions will be requested at least 10 days before the meeting. Only Owners or Annuitants on the record date may vote. The number of shares to which you are entitled to vote is calculated by dividing the portion of your Participant's Account allocated to that Fund on the record date by the net asset value of a Fund share on the same date. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS MetLife Investors USA, like other life insurance companies, is involved on occasion in lawsuits, including class action lawsuits. In some class action and other lawsuits involving insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement payments have been made. MetLife Investors USA does not believe any such litigation or proceedings will have a material adverse effect upon the Separate Account or upon the ability of MetLife Investors Distribution Company to perform its contract with the Separate Account or of MetLife Investors USA to meet its obligations under the contracts. 51

THE INSURANCE COMPANY MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (MetLife Investors USA) is a stock life insurance company founded on September 13, 1960, and organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. Its principal executive offices are located at 11225 North Community House Road, Charlotte, NC 28277. MetLife Investors USA is authorized to transact the business of life insurance, including annuities, and is currently licensed to do business in all states except New York and in the District of Columbia. MetLife Investors USA is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife, Inc. (MetLife), a listed company on the New York Stock Exchange. MetLife is a leading provider of insurance and financial products and services to individual and group customers. SURRENDER CHARGES Subject to the individual's retirement plan requirements, all or a portion of the Participant's account may be surrendered at any time prior to the annuity date. Unless a certificate has been in effect for more than nine full calendar years after the Certificate Date, a surrender charge (contingent deferred sales charge) will be deducted in the event the Participant requests a full or partial surrender from the Separate Account. The charge is based on a percentage of the amount surrendered. No surrender charge will be applied for that part of the first surrender from the Separate Account in a calendar year that does not exceed 10% of the value of the Participant's Account. The surrender charge amounts to 7% for surrenders attributable to purchase payments received within 60 months prior to the date of the surrender. In no event will the sum of these surrender charges and the distribution expense charge exceed 9% of the purchase payments. NET INVESTMENT FACTOR The Separate Account net investment factor is an index of the percentage change (adjusted for distributions by the Fund and the deduction of the actuarial risk fee) in the net asset value of each Fund in which the Series in invested, since the preceding Business Day. The Separate Account net investment factor for each Series of Accumulation Units is determined for any Business Day by dividing (i) the net asset value of a share of the Fund which is represented by such Series at the close of business on such day, plus the per share amount of any distributions made by such Fund on such day by (ii) the net asset value of a share of such Fund determined as of the close of business on the preceding Business Day and then subtracting from the result the daily factors for mortality and expense risks (.003699%) for each calendar day between the preceding Business Day and the end of the current Business Day. ANNUITY PAYMENTS BASIS OF VARIABLE BENEFITS The Variable Annuity benefits rates used in determining Annuity Payments under the Contracts are based on actuarial assumptions, reflected in tables in the Contracts, as to the expected mortality and adjusted age and the form of Annuity selected. The mortality basis for these tables is Annuity 2000 Mortality Table, projected to the year 2020 on Projection Scale G, with interest at 4.25% for all functions involving life contingencies and the portion of any period certain beyond 10 years, and 3.25% for the first 10 years of any certain period. Adjusted age in those tables means actual age to the nearest birthday at the time the first payment is due, adjusted according to the following table: [Download Table] YEAR OF BIRTH AGE ADJUSTMENT BEFORE 1945 ACTUAL AGE 1946 - 1965 Age Minus 1 Year 1966 - 1985 Age Minus 2 Years 1986 - 2005 Age Minus 3 Years DETERMINATION OF AMOUNT OF MONTHLY VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS FOR FIRST YEAR The Separate Account value used to establish the monthly variable annuity payment for the first year consists of the value of accumulation units of each Series of the Separate Account credited to a Participant on the last valuation date of the second calendar week before the annuity date. The Contract contains tables showing monthly payment factors and annuity premium rates per $1,000 of Separate Account value to be applied under Options 1 through 4. At the beginning of the first payment year, an amount is transferred from the Separate Account to MetLife Investors USA's General Account and level monthly annuity payments for the year are made out of the General Account. The amount to be transferred is determined by multiplying the annuity premium rate per $1,000 set forth in the Contract tables by the number of thousands of 3
485BPOS84th Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 84th
dollars of Separate Account value credited to a Participant. The level monthly payment for the first payment year is then determined by multiplying the amount transferred (the "Annuity Premium") by the monthly payment factor in the same table. In the event the Contract involved has Separate Account accumulation units in more than one Series, the total monthly annuity payment for the first year is the sum of the monthly annuity payments, determined in the same manner as above, for each Series. At the time the first year's monthly payments are determined, a number of annuity units for each Separate Account Series is also established for the annuitant by dividing the first year monthly payment from that series by the Separate Account annuity unit values for the series on the last valuation date of the second calendar week before the first annuity payment is due. The number of annuity units remains fixed during the annuity period unless annuity units are converted to or from another series. DETERMINATION OF AMOUNT OF MONTHLY VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS FOR SECOND AND SUBSEQUENT YEARS As of each anniversary of the annuity date, MetLife Investors USA will determine the amount of the monthly variable annuity payments for the year then beginning. Separate determinations will be made for each Separate Account Series in which the annuitant has annuity units, with the total annuity payment being the sum of the payments derived from the Series. The amount of monthly payments for any Separate Account Series for any year after the first will be determined by multiplying the number of annuity units for that Series by the annuity unit value for that Series for the valuation period in which the first payment for the year is due. It will be MetLife Investor USA's practice to mail variable annuity payments no later than seven days after the last day of the valuation period upon which they are based or the monthly anniversary thereof. The objective of a variable annuity contract is to provide level payments during periods when the economy is relatively stable and to reflect as increased payments only the excess of investment results flowing from inflation or an increase in productivity. The achievement of this objective will depend, in part, upon the validity of the assumption that the net investment return of the Separate Account equals the assumed investment return during periods of stable prices. Subsequent years' payments will be smaller than, equal to or greater than the first year's payments depending on whether the actual net investment return for the Separate Account is smaller than equal to or greater than the Assumed Investment Return. ANNUITY UNIT VALUE The initial value of an Annuity Unit is $5 for each Series for the first Valuation Period as of which the first Variable Annuity Payment from such Series is made. The value of an Annuity Unit for each Series on any later date is determined by multiplying the value of an Annuity Unit at the end of the preceding Valuation Period by the "Annuity change factor" for the second preceding Valuation Period. The Annuity change factor is an adjusted measurement of the investment performance of the Fund since the end of the preceding Valuation Period. The Annuity change factor is determined by dividing the value of an Accumulation Unit at the end of the Valuation Period by the value of an Accumulation Unit at the end of the preceding Valuation Period and multiplying the result by a neutralization factor. Variable Annuity Payments for each year after the first reflect variations in the investment performance of the Separate Account above and below an Assumed Investment Return. This assumed investment rate is included for purposes of actuarial computations and does not relate to the actual investment performance of the underlying Fund. Therefore, the Assumed Investment Return must be "neutralized" in computing the Annuity change factor. For weekly Valuation Periods and a 4.25% Assumed Investment Return, the neutralization factor is 0.9991999. UNDERWRITERS, DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACTS Information about the distribution of the Contracts is contained in the prospectus. (See "Principal Underwriter.") Additional information is provided below. The Contracts are not currently offered for sale. However, new Participants may be added under existing Contracts and, where applicable, we will continue to issue Certificates to new Participants. MetLife Investors Distribution Company ("Distributor") serves as principal underwriter for the Contracts. The Distributor's home office is located at 1095 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10036. Distributor is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife, Inc. Distributor is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities 4
485BPOS85th Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 85th
Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of FINRA. Distributor is not a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Distributor has entered into selling agreements with other broker-dealers ("selling firms") and compensates them for their services. Distributor (including its predecessor) received sales compensation with respect to the Contracts and all other contracts issued from the Separate Account in the following amounts during the periods indicated: [Download Table] Aggregate Amount of Commissions Aggregate Retained by Amount of Distributor Commissions After Payments Paid to to Selling Fiscal Year Distributor Firms ------------------------------------------ 2011 $1,101,222,893 $0 2012 $ 689,121,186 $0 2013 $ 456,083,088 $0 Distributor passes through commissions to selling firms for their sales. In addition we pay compensation to Distributor to offset its expenses, including compensation costs, marketing and distribution expenses, advertising, wholesaling, printing and other expenses of distributing the Contracts. CALCULATION OF PERFORMANCE Average annual total return was computed by finding the average annual compounded rates of return over the 1, 3, 5, and 10 year periods that would equate the initial amount invested to the ending redeemable value, according to the following formula: P(1+T)/(n)/ = ERV Where: P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000 T = average annual total return n = number of years ERV = ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment made at the beginning of the 1, 5, or 10 year periods (or fractional portion thereof). The computation of average annual total returns does take into consideration recurring charges and any non-recurring charges applicable to a Contract which is surrendered in full at the end of the stated holding period. VOTING RIGHTS As the owner of the Separate Account, MetLife Investors USA is the legal owner of the shares of the Funds. Based upon MetLife Investors USA's current view of applicable law, Participants have voting interests under the Contract concerning Fund shares and are entitled to vote on Fund proposals at all regular and special shareholders meetings. Therefore, Participants are entitled to give us instructions for the number of shares which are deemed attributable to his or her Participant's Account. MetLife Investors USA will vote all shares of the underlying Funds as directed by the Participant and others who have voting interests in the Funds. MetLife Investors USA will send, at a last known address, all periodic reports, proxy materials and written requests for instructions on how to vote those shares. When MetLife Investors USA receives these instructions, it will vote of the shares in proportion to the instructions. If MetLife Investors USA does not receive a Participant's voting instructions, it will vote his or her interest in the same proportion as represented by the votes it receives from the other Owners and Participants. If MetLife Investors USA determines that it is permitted to vote the shares in its own right due to changes in the law or in the interpretation of the law it may do so. MetLife Investors USA is under no duty to inquire into voting instructions or into the authority of the person issuing such instructions. All instructions will be valid unless MetLife Investors USA has actual knowledge that they are not. When Annuity payments begin, the Annuitant will have all voting rights in regard to Fund shares. There are certain circumstances under which MetLife Investors USA may disregard voting instructions. However, in this event, a summary of our action and the reasons for such action will appear in the next semiannual report. The number of votes that each person having the right to vote receives is determined on a record date that is set no more than 90 days before the meeting. Voting instructions will be requested at least 30 days before the meeting. Only Owners or Annuitants on the record date may vote. 5
485BPOS86th Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 86th
The number of shares to which a Participant is entitled to vote is calculated by dividing the portion of his or her Participant's Account allocated to that Fund on the record date by the net asset value of a Fund share on the same date. SAFEKEEPING OF SECURITIES Custody of all assets of the Separate Account are held by MetLife Investors USA. The assets of each Separate Account Series will be kept physically segregated by MetLife Investors USA and held separate from the assets of any other firm, person, or corporation. Additional protection for the assets of the Separate Account is afforded by fidelity bonds covering all of MetLife Investors USA's officers and employees. SERVICING AGENT Administrative services agreements have been entered into between MetLife Investors USA and each of MetLife Group, Inc. and Metropolitan Life Insurance Company under which the latter have agreed to perform certain of the personnel and administrative services relating to the Contracts and for the Separate Account. MetLife Investors USA has paid fees to MetLife Group and Metropolitan Life Insurance Company for these services.

ADDITIONAL FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS QUALIFIED ANNUITY CONTRACTS Annuity contracts purchased through tax qualified plans are subject to limitations imposed by the Code and regulations as a condition of tax qualification. There are various types of tax qualified plans which have certain beneficial tax consequences for Contract owners and plan participants. TYPES OF QUALIFIED PLANS The following list includes individual account-type plans which may hold an annuity Contract as described in the Prospectus. Except for Traditional IRAs, they are established by an employer for participation of its employees. 401(K), 401(A) Established by for-profit employers, Section 501(c)(3) tax exempt and non-tax exempt entities, Indian Tribes. 403(B) TAX SHELTERED ANNUITY ("TSA") Established by Section 501(c)(3) tax exempt entities, public schools (K-12), public colleges, universities, churches, synagogues and mosques. 457(B) GOVERNMENTAL SPONSOR Established by state and local governments, public schools (K-12), public colleges and universities. 457(B) NON-GOVERNMENTAL SPONSOR Established by a tax-exempt entity. Under a non-governmental plan, which must be a tax-exempt entity under Section 501(c) of the Code, all such investments of the plan are owned by and are subject to the claims of the general creditors of the sponsoring employer. In general, all amounts received under a non-governmental Section 457(b) plan are taxable and are subject to Federal income tax withholding as wages. Additional information regarding 457(b) plans A 457(b) plan may provide a one-time election to make special one-time "catch-up" contributions in one or more of the participant's last three taxable years ending before the participant's normal retirement age under the plan. Participants in governmental 457(b) plans may not use both the age 50 or older catch-up and the special one-time catch-up contribution in the same taxable year. In general, contribution limits with respect to elective deferral and to age 50 plus catch-up contributions are not aggregated with contributions under the other types of qualified plans for the purposes of determining the limitations applicable to participants. 403(A) If your benefit under the 403(b) plan is worth more than $5,000, the Code requires that your annuity protect your spouse if You die before You receive any payments under the annuity or if You die while payments are being made. You may waive these requirements with the written consent of your spouse. In general, designating a beneficiary other than your spouse is considered a waiver and requires your spouse's written consent. Waiving these requirements may cause your monthly benefit to increase during your lifetime. Special rules apply to the withdrawal of excess contributions. ERISA If your plan is subject to ERISA and You are married, the income payments, withdrawal provisions, and methods of payment of the death benefit under your Contract may be subject to your spouse's rights as described below. Generally, the spouse must give qualified consent whenever You elect to: (a) Choose income payments other than on a qualified joint and survivor annuity basis ("QJSA") (one under which we make payments to You during your lifetime and then make payments reduced by no more than 50% to your spouse for his or her remaining life, if any): or choose to waive the qualified pre-retirement survivor annuity benefit ("QPSA") (the benefit payable to the surviving spouse of a participant who dies with a vested interest in an accrued retirement benefit under the plan before payment of the benefit has begun); (b) Make certain withdrawals under plans for which a qualified consent is required; (c) Name someone other than the spouse as your beneficiary; or (d) Use your accrued benefit as security for a loan exceeding $5,000. Generally, there is no limit to the number of your elections as long as a qualified consent is given each time. The 7
485BPOS88th Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 88th
consent to waive the QJSA must meet certain requirements, including that it be in writing, that it acknowledges the identity of the designated beneficiary and the form of benefit selected, dated, signed by your spouse, witnessed by a notary public or plan representative, and that it be in a form satisfactory to us. The waiver of the QJSA generally must be executed during the 180 day period (90 days for certain loans) ending on the date on which income payments are to commence, or the withdrawal or the loan is to be made, as the case may be. If You die before benefits commence, your surviving spouse will be your beneficiary unless he or she has given a qualified consent otherwise. The qualified consent to waive the QPSA benefit and the beneficiary designation must be made in writing that acknowledges the designated beneficiary, dated, signed by your spouse, witnessed by a notary public or plan representative and in a form satisfactory to us. Generally, there is no limit to the number of beneficiary designations as long as a qualified consent accompanies each designation.

Employer-sponsored individual account plans (other than 457(b) plans) may provide for additional employer contributions not to exceed the greater of $52,000 or 25% of an employee's compensation for 2014. FEDERAL ESTATE TAXES While no attempt is being made to discuss the Federal estate tax implications of the Contract, You should bear in mind that the value of an annuity contract owned by a decedent and payable to a beneficiary by virtue of surviving the decedent is included in the decedent's gross estate. Depending on the terms of the annuity contract, the value of the annuity included in the gross estate may be the value of the lump sum payment payable to the designated beneficiary or the actuarial value of the payments to be received by the beneficiary. Consult an estate planning adviser for more information. GENERATION-SKIPPING TRANSFER TAX Under certain circumstances, the Code may impose a "generation-skipping transfer tax" when all or part of an annuity contract is transferred to, or a death benefit is paid to, an individual two or more generations younger than the contract owner. Regulations issued under the Code may require us to deduct the tax from your contract, or from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the IRS. ANNUITY PURCHASE PAYMENTS BY NONRESIDENT ALIENS AND FOREIGN CORPORATIONS The discussion above provides general information regarding U.S. Federal income tax consequences to annuity purchasers that are U.S. citizens or residents. Purchasers that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally be subject to U.S. Federal withholding tax on taxable distributions from annuity contracts at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, purchasers may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes that may be imposed by the purchaser's country of citizenship or residence. Prospective purchasers are advised to consult with a qualified tax adviser regarding U.S., state and foreign taxation with respect to an annuity contract purchase.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Contract Owners of MetLife Investors USA Separate Account A and Board of Directors of MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of MetLife Investors USA Separate Account A (the "Separate Account") of MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (the "Company") comprising each of the individual Sub-Accounts listed in Note 2 as of December 31, 2013, the related statements of operations for the respective stated period in the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for the respective stated periods in the two years then ended, and the financial highlights in Note 8 for the respective stated periods in the five years then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Separate Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Separate Account is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Separate Account's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of December 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian or mutual fund companies. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Sub-Accounts constituting the Separate Account of the Company as of December 31, 2013, the results of their operations for the respective stated period in the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for the respective stated periods in the two years then ended, and the financial highlights for the respective stated periods in the five years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP Certified Public Accountants Tampa, Florida March 27, 2014

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

METLIFE INVESTORS USA SEPARATE ACCOUNT A OF METLIFE INVESTORS USA INSURANCE COMPANY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 3. PORTFOLIO CHANGES -- (CONCLUDED) MERGERS: [Enlarge/Download Table] Former Portfolio New Portfolio (MIST) American Funds International Portfolio (MSF) Baillie Gifford International Stock Portfolio (MIST) Jennison Large Cap Equity Portfolio (MSF) Jennison Growth Portfolio (MIST) Met/Franklin Mutual Shares Portfolio (MSF) MFS Value Portfolio (MIST) Met/Franklin Templeton Founding Strategy (MIST) MetLife Growth Strategy Portfolio Portfolio (MIST) MLA Mid Cap Portfolio (MSF) Neuberger Berman Genesis Portfolio (MIST) RCM Technology Portfolio (MSF) T.

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

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

METLIFE INVESTORS USA SEPARATE ACCOUNT A OF METLIFE INVESTORS USA INSURANCE COMPANY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- (CONCLUDED) NET TRANSFERS Funds transferred by the contract owner into or out of Sub-Accounts within the Separate Account or into or out of the fixed account, which is part the Company's general account, are recorded on a net basis as net transfers in the statements of changes in net assets of the applicable Sub-Accounts. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported herein. Actual results could differ from these estimates. 5. EXPENSES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The following annual Separate Account charges paid to the Company, are asset-based charges assessed through a daily reduction in unit values, which are recorded as expenses in the accompanying statements of operations of the applicable Sub-Accounts: Mortality and Expense Risk -- The mortality risk assumed by the Company is the risk that those insured may die sooner than anticipated and therefore, the Company will pay an aggregate amount of death benefits greater than anticipated. The expense risk assumed is the risk that expenses incurred in issuing and administering the Contracts will exceed the amounts realized from the administrative charges assessed against the Contracts. In addition, the charge compensates the Company for the risk that the investor may live longer than estimated and the Company would be obligated to pay more in income payments than anticipated. Administrative -- The Company has responsibility for the administration of the Contracts and the Separate Account. Generally, the administrative charge is related to the maintenance, including distribution, of each contract and the Separate Account. Optional Death Benefit Rider -- For an additional charge, the total death benefit payable may be increased based on increases in account value of the Contracts. Distribution Expense -- The risk that surrender charges will be insufficient to cover the actual costs of distribution which includes commissions, fees, registration costs, direct and indirect selling expenses. Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit -- For an additional charge, the Company will guarantee that the contract value will not be less than a guaranteed minimum amount at the end of a specified number of years. Earnings Preservation Benefit -- For an additional charge, the Company will provide this additional death benefit. The table below represents the range of effective annual rates for each respective charge for the year ended December 31, 2013: [Enlarge/Download Table] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mortality and Expense Risk 0.70% - 2.05% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Administrative 0.10% - 0.25% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Optional Death Benefit Rider 0.15% - 0.35% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distribution Expense 0.10% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit 1.50% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Earnings Preservation Benefit 0.25% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The above referenced charges may not necessarily correspond to the costs associated with providing the services or benefits indicated by the designation of the charge or associated with a particular contract.

Enhanced Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit -- For an additional charge, the Company will guarantee that at least the entire amount of purchase payments will be returned through a series of withdrawals without annuitizing. The table below represents the range of effective annual rates for each respective charge for the year ended December 31, 2013: [Enlarge/Download Table] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit 0.75% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lifetime Withdrawal Guarantee 0.50% - 1.80% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit 0.25% - 1.80% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit 0.50% - 1.50% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enhanced Death Benefit 0.60% - 1.50% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enhanced Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit 0.55% - 1.00% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The above referenced charges may not necessarily correspond to the costs associated with providing the services or benefits indicated by the designation of the charge or associated with a particular contract. A contract maintenance fee ranging from $30 to $40 is assessed on an annual basis for Contracts with a value of less than $50,000. A transfer fee ranging from $0 to $25 may be deducted after twelve transfers are made in a contract year or, for certain contracts, 2% of the amount transferred from the contract value, if less. For certain contracts, an administrative charge is also assessed which ranges from $12 to $29.50 for each Sub-Account in which the contract owner invests (waived if purchase payments equal or exceed $2,000 in the year, or if the account value is $10,000 or more at year end). For other Contracts the administrative charge is $21.50 plus $2.50 for each Sub-Account selected, subject to the same waiver terms. In addition, the Contracts impose a surrender charge which ranges from 0% to 9% if the contract is partially or fully surrendered within the specified surrender charge period. For certain contracts, a transaction charge of the lesser of $10 or 2% of the surrender is imposed on surrenders and a $10 charge is assessed for annuitizations. For those contract owners who choose optional living benefit riders or certain optional death benefit riders, these charges range from 0.25% to 1.80% of the benefit base and are charged at each contract anniversary date. These charges are paid to the Company and recorded as contract charges in the accompanying statements of changes in net assets of the applicable Sub-Accounts. MetLife Advisers, LLC, which acts in the capacity of investment adviser to the portfolios of the MIST and MSF Trusts, is an affiliate of the Company. 108

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

485BPOS232nd Page of 351TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 232nd
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company: We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company and its subsidiaries (the "Company"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife, Inc., which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholder's equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors' Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Other Matter Results of the Company may not be indicative of those of a stand-alone entity, as the Company is a member of a controlled group of affiliated companies. /s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP Certified Public Accountants Philadelphia, Pennsylvania April 8, 2014

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Business MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company ("MLI-USA") and its subsidiaries, (the "Company"), a Delaware domiciled life insurance company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut ("MICC"). MICC is a subsidiary of MetLife, Inc. ("MetLife"). The Company markets, administers and insures a broad range of term life, universal and variable life and variable and fixed annuity products. In the second quarter of 2013, MetLife announced its plans to merge three U.S.-based life insurance companies and an offshore reinsurance subsidiary to create one larger U.S.-based and U.S.-regulated life insurance company (the "Mergers"). The companies to be merged consist of MICC, MLI-USA and MetLife Investors Insurance Company, each a U.S. insurance company that issues variable annuity products in addition to other products, and Exeter Reassurance Company, Ltd. ("Exeter"), a reinsurance company that mainly reinsures guarantees associated with variable annuity products. MICC, which is expected to be renamed and domiciled in Delaware, will be the surviving entity. Exeter, formerly a Cayman Islands company, was re-domesticated to Delaware in October 2013. The Mergers are expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2014, subject to regulatory approvals. Basis of Presentation The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to adopt accounting policies and make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. In applying these policies and estimates, management makes subjective and complex judgments that frequently require assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. Many of these policies, estimates and related judgments are common in the insurance and financial services industries; others are specific to the Company's business and operations. Actual results could differ from estimates. Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company and its subsidiary, as well as a partnership in which the Company has control. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Since the Company is a member of a controlled group of affiliated companies, its results may not be indicative of those of a stand-alone entity. Separate Accounts Separate accounts are established in conformity with insurance laws and are generally not chargeable with liabilities that arise from any other business of the Company. Separate account assets are subject to general account claims only to the extent the value of such assets exceeds the separate account liabilities. The Company reports separately, as assets and liabilities, investments held in separate accounts and liabilities of the separate accounts if: . such separate accounts are legally recognized; . assets supporting the contract liabilities are legally insulated from the Company's general account liabilities; 7

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) . investments are directed by the contractholder; and . all investment performance, net of contract fees and assessments, is passed through to the contractholder. The Company reports separate account assets at their fair value, which is based on the estimated fair values of the underlying assets comprising the individual separate account portfolios. Investment performance (including investment income, net investment gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses)) and the corresponding amounts credited to contractholders of such separate accounts are offset within the same line in the statements of operations. The Company's revenues reflect fees charged to the separate accounts, including mortality charges, risk charges, policy administration fees, investment management fees and surrender charges. Such fees are included in universal life and investment-type product policy fees in the statements of operations. Reclassifications Certain amounts in the prior years' consolidated financial statements and related footnotes thereto have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation as discussed throughout the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Adjustments to Prior Periods During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company determined certain prior period results should be adjusted to correct the following: . Certain prior years' acquisition costs related to variable annuity sales were incorrectly allocated to an affiliate. Such costs, net of deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC"), were $65 million, $78 million and $62 million for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. . A DAC recoverability write-off of $111 million associated with term life and universal life secondary guarantees business sold in 2012 was not recorded as of December 31, 2012. . The fair value of a bifurcated embedded derivative associated with a reinsurance agreement was overstated by $23 million for 2011. . Policyholder benefits and claims and other expenses were overstated in 2012 by $6 million and $23 million, respectively, due to an adjustment in the modeling of dynamic lapses in certain variable annuity products. . Adjustments associated with data used in the modeling of certain variable annuity projected benefits in periods prior to 2012. Previously, net derivative gains (losses) was over (understated) by $82 million, ($47) million and ($35) million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and periods prior to 2011, respectively, and DAC amortization was over (understated) by $28 million, ($15) million and ($13) million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and periods prior to 2011, respectively. Management evaluated the materiality of these adjustments quantitatively and qualitatively and concluded that they were not material to any prior periods' annual financial statements; however, unadjusted amounts as of December 31, 2012 would have had a significant effect on the results of operations for 2013 if they were recorded in 2013. Accordingly, the Company has revised its previously reported financial statements for prior annual periods for the items listed above, including the related tax impacts, as detailed below. 8

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Insurance Future Policy Benefit Liabilities and Policyholder Account Balances The Company establishes liabilities for amounts payable under insurance policies. Generally, amounts are payable over an extended period of time and related liabilities are calculated as the present value of future expected benefits to be paid reduced by the present value of future expected premiums. Such liabilities are established based on methods and underlying assumptions in accordance with GAAP and applicable actuarial standards. Principal assumptions used in the establishment of liabilities for future policy benefits are mortality, policy lapse, renewal, disability incidence, disability terminations, investment returns, inflation, expenses and other contingent events as appropriate to the respective product type. These assumptions are established at the time the policy is issued and are intended to estimate the experience for the period the policy benefits are payable. Utilizing these assumptions, liabilities are established on a block of business basis. For long duration insurance contracts, assumptions such as mortality and interest rates are "locked in" upon the issuance of new business. However, significant adverse changes in experience on such contracts may require the establishment of premium deficiency reserves. Such reserves are determined based on the then current assumptions and do not include a provision for adverse deviation. Liabilities for universal and variable life secondary guarantees are determined by estimating the expected value of death benefits payable when the account balance is projected to be zero and recognizing those benefits ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments. The assumptions used in estimating the secondary guarantee liabilities are consistent with those used for amortizing DAC, and are thus subject to the same variability and risk as further discussed herein. The assumptions of investment performance and volatility for variable products are consistent with historical experience of appropriate underlying equity indices, such as the Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("S&P") 500 Index. The benefits used in calculating the liabilities are based on the average benefits payable over a range of scenarios. The Company regularly reviews its estimates of liabilities for future policy benefits and compares them with its actual experience. Differences result in changes to the liability balances with related charges or credits to benefit expenses in the period in which the changes occur. Policyholder account balances ("PABs") relate to contract or contract features where the Company has no significant insurance risk. The Company issues certain variable annuity products with guaranteed minimum benefits that provide the policyholder a minimum return based on their initial deposit (i.e., the benefit base) less withdrawals. These guarantees are accounted for as insurance liabilities or as embedded derivatives depending on how and when the benefit is paid. Specifically, a guarantee is accounted for as an embedded derivative if a guarantee is paid without requiring (i) the occurrence of specific insurable event, or (ii) the policyholder to annuitize. Alternatively, a guarantee is accounted for as an insurance liability if the guarantee is paid only upon either (i) the occurrence of a specific insurable event, or (ii) annuitization. In certain cases, a guarantee may have elements of both an insurance liability and an embedded derivative and in such cases the guarantee is split and accounted for under both models. Guarantees accounted for as insurance liabilities in future policy benefits include guaranteed minimum death benefits ("GMDBs"), the portion of guaranteed minimum income benefits ("GMIBs") that require annuitization, and the life-contingent portion of guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits ("GMWBs"). 11

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Guarantees accounted for as embedded derivatives in PABs include the non life-contingent portion of GMWBs, guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits ("GMABs") and the portion of GMIBs that do not require annuitization. At inception, the Company attributes to the embedded derivative a portion of the projected future guarantee fees to be collected from the policyholder equal to the present value of projected future guaranteed benefits. Any additional fees represent "excess" fees and are reported in universal life and investment-type product policy fees. Other Policy-Related Balances Other policy-related balances include policy and contract claims, unearned revenue liabilities and premiums received in advance. The liability for policy and contract claims generally relates to incurred but not reported death claims, as well as claims which have been reported but not yet settled. The liability for these claims is based on the Company's estimated ultimate cost of settling all claims. The Company derives estimates for the development of incurred but not reported claims principally from analyses of historical patterns of claims by business line. The methods used to determine these estimates are continually reviewed. Adjustments resulting from this continuous review process and differences between estimates and payments for claims are recognized in policyholder benefits and claims expense in the period in which the estimates are changed or payments are made. The unearned revenue liability relates to universal life-type and investment-type products and represents policy charges for services to be provided in future periods. The charges are deferred as unearned revenue and amortized using the product's estimated gross profits, similar to DAC as discussed further herein. Such amortization is recorded in universal life and investment-type product policy fees. The Company accounts for the prepayment of premiums on its individual life contracts as premiums received in advance and applies the cash received to premiums when due. Recognition of Insurance Revenues and Deposits Premiums related to traditional life and annuity policies with life contingencies are recognized as revenues when due from policyholders. Policyholder benefits and expenses are provided to recognize profits over the estimated lives of the insurance policies. When premiums are due over a significantly shorter period than the period over which benefits are provided, any excess profit is deferred and recognized into earnings in a constant relationship to insurance in-force or, for annuities, the amount of expected future policy benefit payments. Deposits related to universal life-type and investment-type products are credited to PABs. Revenues from such contracts consist of fees for mortality, policy administration and surrender charges and are recorded in universal life and investment-type product policy fees in the period in which services are provided. Amounts that are charged to earnings include interest credited and benefit claims incurred in excess of related PABs. Premiums, policy fees, policyholder benefits and expenses are presented net of reinsurance. 12

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs and Other Policy-Related Intangibles The Company incurs significant costs in connection with acquiring new and renewal insurance business. Costs that are related directly to the successful acquisition or renewal of insurance contracts are capitalized as DAC. Such costs include: . incremental direct costs of contract acquisition, such as commissions; . the portion of an employee's total compensation and benefits related to time spent selling, underwriting or processing the issuance of new and renewal insurance business only with respect to actual policies acquired or renewed; . other essential direct costs that would not have been incurred had a policy not been acquired or renewed; and . in limited circumstances, the costs of direct-response advertising, the primary purpose of which is to elicit sales to customers who could be shown to have responded specifically to the advertising and that results in probable future benefits. All other acquisition-related costs, including those related to general advertising and solicitation, market research, agent training, product development, unsuccessful sales and underwriting efforts, as well as all indirect costs, are expensed as incurred. DAC is amortized as follows: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Products: In proportion to the following over estimated lives of the contracts: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- . Nonparticipating and Historic actual and expected future non-dividend-paying traditional gross premiums. contracts (primarily term insurance) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- . Participating, dividend-paying Actual and expected future gross traditional contracts margins. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- . Fixed and variable universal life Actual and expected future gross contracts profits. . Fixed and variable deferred annuity contracts ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- See Note 3 for additional information on DAC amortization. The recovery of DAC is dependent upon the future profitability of the related business. The Company generally has two different types of sales inducements which are included in other assets: (i) the policyholder receives a bonus whereby the policyholder's initial account balance is increased by an amount equal to a specified percentage of the customer's deposit; and (ii) the policyholder receives a higher interest rate using a dollar cost averaging method than would have been received based on the normal general account interest rate credited. The Company defers sales inducements and amortizes them over the life of the policy using the same methodology and assumptions used to amortize DAC. The amortization of sales inducements is included in policyholder benefits and claims. Each year, or more frequently if circumstances indicate a potential recoverability issue exists, the Company reviews deferred sales inducements to determine the recoverability of the asset. 13

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Value of distribution agreements acquired ("VODA") is reported in other assets and represents the present value of expected future profits associated with the expected future business derived from the distribution agreements. The VODA associated with past business combinations contributed to the Company by MetLife is amortized over useful lives ranging from 10 to 30 years and such amortization is included in other expenses. Each year, or more frequently if circumstances indicate a possible impairment exists, the Company reviews VODA to determine whether the asset is impaired. Reinsurance For each of its reinsurance agreements, the Company determines whether the agreement provides indemnification against loss or liability relating to insurance risk in accordance with applicable accounting standards. Cessions under reinsurance agreements do not discharge the Company's obligations as the primary insurer. The Company reviews all contractual features, including those that may limit the amount of insurance risk to which the reinsurer is subject or features that delay the timely reimbursement of claims. For reinsurance of existing in-force blocks of long-duration contracts that transfer significant insurance risk, the difference, if any, between the amounts paid (received), and the liabilities ceded (assumed) related to the underlying contracts is considered the net cost of reinsurance at the inception of the reinsurance agreement. The net cost of reinsurance is recorded as an adjustment to DAC when there is a gain at inception on the ceding entity and to other liabilities when there is a loss at inception. The net cost of reinsurance is recognized as a component of other expenses when there is a gain at inception and as policyholder benefits and claims when there is a loss and is subsequently amortized on a basis consistent with the methodology used for amortizing DAC related to the underlying reinsured contracts. Subsequent amounts paid (received) on the reinsurance of in-force blocks, as well as amounts paid (received) related to new business, are recorded as ceded (assumed) premiums and ceded (assumed) premiums, reinsurance and other receivables (future policy benefits) are established. Amounts currently recoverable under reinsurance agreements are included in premiums, reinsurance and other receivables and amounts currently payable are included in other liabilities. Assets and liabilities relating to reinsurance agreements with the same reinsurer may be recorded net on the balance sheet, if a right of offset exists within the reinsurance agreement. In the event that reinsurers do not meet their obligations to the Company under the terms of the reinsurance agreements, reinsurance recoverable balances could become uncollectible. In such instances, reinsurance recoverable balances are stated net of allowances for uncollectible reinsurance. The funds withheld liability represents amounts withheld by the Company in accordance with the terms of the reinsurance agreements. The Company withholds the funds rather than transferring the underlying investments and, as a result, records funds withheld liability within other liabilities. The Company recognizes interest on funds withheld, included in other expenses, at rates defined by the terms of the agreement which may be contractually specified or directly related to the investment portfolio. Premiums, fees and policyholder benefits and claims include amounts assumed under reinsurance agreements and are net of reinsurance ceded. Amounts received from reinsurers for policy administration are reported in other revenues. With respect to GMIBs, a portion of the directly written GMIBs are accounted for as insurance liabilities, but the associated reinsurance agreements contain embedded derivatives. These embedded derivatives are included in premiums, reinsurance and other receivables with changes in estimated fair value reported in net derivative gains (losses). 14

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) If the Company determines that a reinsurance agreement does not expose the reinsurer to a reasonable possibility of a significant loss from insurance risk, the Company records the agreement using the deposit method of accounting. Deposits received are included in other liabilities and deposits made are included within premiums, reinsurance and other receivables. As amounts are paid or received, consistent with the underlying contracts, the deposit assets or liabilities are adjusted. Interest on such deposits is recorded as other revenues or other expenses, as appropriate. Periodically, the Company evaluates the adequacy of the expected payments or recoveries and adjusts the deposit asset or liability through other revenues or other expenses, as appropriate. Investments Net Investment Income Income on investments is reported within net investment income, unless otherwise stated herein. Fixed Maturity and Equity Securities The Company's fixed maturity and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale ("AFS") and are reported at their estimated fair value. Unrealized investment gains and losses on these securities are recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) ("OCI"), net of policyholder-related amounts and deferred income taxes. All security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Investment gains and losses on sales are determined on a specific identification basis. Interest income on fixed maturity securities is recognized when earned using an effective yield method giving effect to amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Prepayment fees are recognized when earned. Dividends on equity securities are recognized when declared. The Company periodically evaluates fixed maturity and equity securities for impairment. The assessment of whether impairments have occurred is based on management's case-by-case evaluation of the underlying reasons for the decline in estimated fair value, as well as an analysis of the gross unrealized losses by severity and/or age as described in Note 5 "-- Evaluation of AFS Securities for OTTI and Evaluating Temporarily Impaired AFS Securities." For fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position, an other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") is recognized in earnings when it is anticipated that the amortized cost will not be recovered. When either: (i) the Company has the intent to sell the security; or (ii) it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery, the OTTI recognized in earnings is the entire difference between the security's amortized cost and estimated fair value. If neither of these conditions exist, the difference between the amortized cost of the security and the present value of projected future cash flows expected to be collected is recognized as an OTTI in earnings ("credit loss"). If the estimated fair value is less than the present value of projected future cash flows expected to be collected, this portion of OTTI related to other-than-credit factors ("noncredit loss") is recorded in OCI. 15

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) With respect to equity securities, the Company considers in its OTTI analysis its intent and ability to hold a particular equity security for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of its estimated fair value to an amount equal to or greater than cost. If a sale decision is made for an equity security and recovery to an amount at least equal to cost prior to the sale is not expected, the security will be deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired in the period that the sale decision was made and an OTTI loss will be recorded in earnings. The OTTI loss recognized is the entire difference between the security's cost and its estimated fair value. Mortgage Loans The Company disaggregates its mortgage loan investments into two portfolio segments: commercial and agricultural. The accounting policies that are applicable to all portfolio segments are presented below and the accounting policies related to each of the portfolio segments are included in Note 5. Mortgage loans are stated at unpaid principal balance, adjusted for any unamortized premium or discount, deferred fees or expenses, and are net of valuation allowances. Interest income and prepayment fees are recognized when earned. Interest income is recognized using an effective yield method giving effect to amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Policy Loans Policy loans are stated at unpaid principal balances. Interest income on such loans is recorded as earned using the contractual interest rate. Generally, accrued interest is capitalized on the policy's anniversary date. Valuation allowances are not established for policy loans, as they are fully collateralized by the cash surrender value of the underlying insurance policies. Any unpaid principal or interest on the loan is deducted from the cash surrender value or the death benefit prior to settlement of the insurance policy. Real Estate Real estate held-for-investment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset (typically 20 to 55 years). Rental income associated with such real estate is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective leases. The Company periodically reviews its real estate held-for-investment for impairment and tests for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable and exceeds its estimated fair value. Properties whose carrying values are greater than their undiscounted cash flows are written down to their estimated fair value, which is generally computed using the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the underlying risks. Real estate for which the Company commits to a plan to sell within one year and actively markets in its current condition for a reasonable price in comparison to its estimated fair value is classified as held for sale. Real estate held-for-sale is stated at the lower of depreciated cost or estimated fair value less expected disposition costs and is not depreciated. 16

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Real Estate Joint Ventures and Other Limited Partnership Interests The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments in equity securities when it has significant influence or at least 20% interest and for investments in real estate joint ventures and other limited partnership interests ("investees") when it has more than a minor ownership interest or more than a minor influence over the investee's operations, but does not have a controlling financial interest. The Company generally recognizes its share of the investee's earnings on a three-month lag in instances where the investee's financial information is not sufficiently timely or when the investee's reporting period differs from the Company's reporting period. The Company uses the cost method of accounting for investments in which it has virtually no influence over the investee's operations. The Company recognizes distributions on cost method investments as earned or received. Because of the nature and structure of these cost method investments, they do not meet the characteristics of an equity security in accordance with applicable accounting standards. The Company routinely evaluates its equity method and cost method investments for impairment. For equity method investees, the Company considers financial and other information provided by the investee, other known information and inherent risks in the underlying investments, as well as future capital commitments, in determining whether an impairment has occurred. The Company considers its cost method investments for impairment when the carrying value of such investments exceeds the net asset value ("NAV"). The Company takes into consideration the severity and duration of this excess when determining whether the cost method investment is impaired. Short-term Investments Short-term investments include securities and other investments with remaining maturities of one year or less, but greater than three months, at the time of purchase and are stated at estimated fair value or amortized cost, which approximates estimated fair value. Short-term investments also include investments in affiliated money market pools. Other Invested Assets Other invested assets consist of the following: . Loans to affiliates are stated at unpaid principal balance, adjusted for any unamortized premium or discount. . Freestanding derivatives with positive estimated fair values are described in "-- Derivatives" below. . Tax credit and renewable energy partnerships derive their primary source of investment return in the form of income tax credits or other tax incentives. Where tax credits are guaranteed by a creditworthy third party, the investment is accounted for under the effective yield method. Otherwise, the investment is accounted for under the equity method. . Leveraged leases are recorded net of non-recourse debt. Income on leveraged leases is recognized by applying the leveraged lease's estimated rate of return to the net investment in the lease. The Company regularly reviews residual values for impairment. 17

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Securities Lending Program Securities lending transactions, whereby blocks of securities are loaned to third parties, primarily brokerage firms and commercial banks, are treated as financing arrangements and the associated liability is recorded at the amount of cash received. The Company obtains collateral at the inception of the loan, usually cash, in an amount generally equal to 102% of the estimated fair value of the securities loaned, and maintains it at a level greater than or equal to 100% for the duration of the loan. The Company is liable to return to the counterparties the cash collateral received. Security collateral on deposit from counterparties in connection with the securities lending transactions may not be sold or repledged, unless the counterparty is in default, and is not reflected in the financial statements. The Company monitors the estimated fair value of the securities loaned on a daily basis and additional collateral is obtained as necessary. Income and expenses associated with securities lending transactions are reported as investment income and investment expense, respectively, within net investment income. Derivatives Freestanding Derivatives Freestanding derivatives are carried in the Company's balance sheets either as assets within other invested assets or as liabilities within other liabilities at estimated fair value. The Company does not offset the fair value amounts recognized for derivatives executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting agreement. Accruals on derivatives are generally recorded in accrued investment income or within other liabilities. However, accruals that are not scheduled to settle within one year are included with the derivatives carrying value in other invested assets or other liabilities. If a derivative is not designated as an accounting hedge or its use in managing risk does not qualify for hedge accounting, changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative are reported in net derivative gains (losses) except as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Statement of Operations Presentation: Derivative: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net investment income . Economic hedges of equity method investments in joint ventures ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hedge Accounting To qualify for hedge accounting, at the inception of the hedging relationship, the Company formally documents its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedging transaction, as well as its designation of the hedge. Hedge designation and financial statement presentation of changes in estimated fair value of the hedging derivatives are as follows: . Fair value hedge (a hedge of the estimated fair value of a recognized asset or liability) - in net derivative gains (losses), consistent with the change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to the designated risk being hedged. 18

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) . Cash flow hedge (a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability) - effectiveness in OCI (deferred gains or losses on the derivative are reclassified into the statement of operations when the Company's earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the hedged item); ineffectiveness in net derivative gains (losses). The changes in estimated fair values of the hedging derivatives are exclusive of any accruals that are separately reported in the statement of operations within interest income or interest expense to match the location of the hedged item. In its hedge documentation, the Company sets forth how the hedging instrument is expected to hedge the designated risks related to the hedged item and sets forth the method that will be used to retrospectively and prospectively assess the hedging instrument's effectiveness and the method that will be used to measure ineffectiveness. A derivative designated as a hedging instrument must be assessed as being highly effective in offsetting the designated risk of the hedged item. Hedge effectiveness is formally assessed at inception and at least quarterly throughout the life of the designated hedging relationship. Assessments of hedge effectiveness and measurements of ineffectiveness are also subject to interpretation and estimation and different interpretations or estimates may have a material effect on the amount reported in net income. The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when: (i) it is determined that the derivative is no longer highly effective in offsetting changes in the estimated fair value or cash flows of a hedged item; (ii) the derivative expires, is sold, terminated, or exercised; (iii) it is no longer probable that the hedged forecasted transaction will occur; or (iv) the derivative is de-designated as a hedging instrument. When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is determined that the derivative is not highly effective in offsetting changes in the estimated fair value or cash flows of a hedged item, the derivative continues to be carried in the balance sheets at its estimated fair value, with changes in estimated fair value recognized in net derivative gains (losses). The carrying value of the hedged recognized asset or liability under a fair value hedge is no longer adjusted for changes in its estimated fair value due to the hedged risk, and the cumulative adjustment to its carrying value is amortized into income over the remaining life of the hedged item. Provided the hedged forecasted transaction is still probable of occurrence, the changes in estimated fair value of derivatives recorded in OCI related to discontinued cash flow hedges are released into the statements of operations when the Company's earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the hedged item. When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is no longer probable that the forecasted transactions will occur on the anticipated date or within two months of that date, the derivative continues to be carried in the balance sheets at its estimated fair value, with changes in estimated fair value recognized currently in net derivative gains (losses). Deferred gains and losses of a derivative recorded in OCI pursuant to the discontinued cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction that is no longer probable are recognized immediately in net derivative gains (losses). In all other situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued, the derivative is carried at its estimated fair value in the balance sheets, with changes in its estimated fair value recognized in the current period as net derivative gains (losses). 19

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Embedded Derivatives The Company sells variable annuities and issues certain insurance products and investment contracts and is a party to certain reinsurance agreements that have embedded derivatives. The Company assesses each identified embedded derivative to determine whether it is required to be bifurcated. The embedded derivative is bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for as a freestanding derivative if: . the combined instrument is not accounted for in its entirety at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings; . the terms of the embedded derivative are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract; and . a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would qualify as a derivative instrument. Such embedded derivatives are carried in the balance sheets at estimated fair value with the host contract and changes in their estimated fair value are generally reported in net derivative gains (losses). If the Company is unable to properly identify and measure an embedded derivative for separation from its host contract, the entire contract is carried on the balance sheet at estimated fair value, with changes in estimated fair value recognized in the current period in net investment gains (losses) or net investment income. Additionally, the Company may elect to carry an entire contract on the balance sheet at estimated fair value, with changes in estimated fair value recognized in the current period in net investment gains (losses) or net investment income if that contract contains an embedded derivative that requires bifurcation. At inception, the Company attributes to the embedded derivative a portion of the projected future guarantee fees to be collected from the policyholder equal to the present value of projected future guaranteed benefits. Any additional fees represent "excess" fees and are reported in universal life and investment-type product policy fees. Fair Value Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. In most cases, the exit price and the transaction (or entry) price will be the same at initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, fair values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are readily and regularly obtainable. When such quoted prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar but not identical assets or liabilities, or other observable inputs. If these inputs are not available, or observable inputs are not determinable, unobservable inputs and/or adjustments to observable inputs requiring management judgment are used to determine the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities. Employee Benefit Plans Pension, postretirement and postemployment benefits are provided to associates under plans sponsored and administered by MLIC, an affiliate of the Company. The Company's obligation and expense related to these benefits is limited to the amount of associated expense allocated from MLIC. 20

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Income Tax MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company joined with MetLife and its includable subsidiaries in filing a consolidated U.S. life and non-life federal income tax return in accordance with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Current taxes (and the benefits of tax attributes such as losses) are allocated to the Company under the consolidated tax return regulations and a tax sharing agreement. Under the consolidated tax return regulations, MetLife has elected the "percentage method" (and 100 percent under such method) of reimbursing companies for tax attributes such as losses. As a result, 100 percent of tax attributes such as losses are reimbursed by MetLife to the extent that consolidated federal income tax of the consolidated federal tax return group is reduced in a year by tax attributes such as losses. Profitable subsidiaries pay to MetLife each year the federal income tax which such profitable subsidiary would have paid that year based upon that year's taxable income. If the Company has current or prior deductions and credits (including but not limited to losses) which reduce the consolidated tax liability of the consolidated federal tax return group, the deductions and credits are characterized as realized (or realizable) by the Company when those tax attributes are realized (or realizable) by the consolidated federal tax return group, even if the Company would not have realized the attributes on a stand-alone basis under a "wait and see" method. The Company's accounting for income taxes represents management's best estimate of various events and transactions. Deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities are measured at the balance sheet date using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The realization of deferred tax assets depends upon the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carryback or carryforward periods under the tax law in the applicable tax jurisdiction. Valuation allowances are established when management determines, based on available information, that it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be realized. Factors in management's determination include the performance of the business and its ability to generate capital gains. Significant judgment is required in determining whether valuation allowances should be established, as well as the amount of such allowances. When making such determination, consideration is given to, among other things, the following: . future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards; . future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences; . taxable income in prior carryback years; and . tax planning strategies. The Company may be required to change its provision for income taxes in certain circumstances. Examples of such circumstances include when estimates used in determining valuation allowances on deferred tax assets significantly change or when receipt of new information indicates the need for adjustment in valuation allowances. Additionally, future events, such as changes in tax laws, tax regulations, or interpretations of such laws or regulations, could have an impact on the provision for income tax and the effective tax rate. Any such changes could significantly affect the amounts reported in the financial statements in the year these changes occur. The Company determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any part of the benefit can be recorded in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being 21

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) realized upon settlement. Unrecognized tax benefits due to tax uncertainties that do not meet the threshold are included within other liabilities and are charged to earnings in the period that such determination is made. The Company classifies interest recognized as interest expense and penalties recognized as a component of income tax. Litigation Contingencies The Company is a party to a number of legal actions and is involved in a number of regulatory investigations. Given the inherent unpredictability of these matters, it is difficult to estimate the impact on the Company's financial position. Liabilities are established when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs are recognized as incurred. On an annual basis, the Company reviews relevant information with respect to liabilities for litigation, regulatory investigations and litigation-related contingencies to be reflected in the Company's financial statements. Other Accounting Policies Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid securities and other investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at amortized cost, which approximates estimated fair value. Computer Software Computer software, which is included in other assets, is stated at cost, less accumulated amortization. Purchased software costs, as well as certain internal and external costs incurred to develop internal-use computer software during the application development stage, are capitalized. Such costs are amortized generally over a four-year period using the straight-line method. The cost basis of computer software was $122 million and $109 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Accumulated amortization of capitalized software was $35 million and $32 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Related amortization expense was $3 million, $2 million and $12 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Other Revenues Other revenues include fees on reinsurance financing agreements and advisory fees. Such fees are recognized in the period in which services are performed. Foreign Currency The results of foreign investments in other limited partnership interests are recorded based on the functional currency of each investment. Net assets of the foreign investments are translated from the functional currency to U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at each year-end and the proportionate shares of net income from the foreign investments are translated at the average exchange rates during the year. The resulting translation adjustments are charged or credited directly to OCI, net of applicable taxes. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions, including the effect of re-measurement of monetary assets and liabilities to the appropriate functional currency, are reported as part of net investment gains (losses) in the period in which they occur. 22

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements Effective July 17, 2013, the Company adopted new guidance regarding derivatives that permits the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to the United States Treasury and London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). Also, this new guidance removes the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. The new guidance did not have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption, but may impact the selection of benchmark interest rates for hedging relationships in the future. Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted new guidance regarding comprehensive income that requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated OCI ("AOCI") by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The adoption was prospectively applied and resulted in additional disclosures in Note 9. Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted new guidance regarding balance sheet offsetting disclosures which requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements for derivatives, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions, to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effects of those arrangements on its financial position. Entities are required to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The adoption was retrospectively applied and resulted in additional disclosures related to derivatives in Note 6. On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted new guidance regarding accounting for DAC, which was retrospectively applied. The guidance specifies that only costs related directly to successful acquisition of new or renewal contracts can be capitalized as DAC; all other acquisition-related costs must be expensed as incurred. As a result, certain sales manager compensation and administrative costs previously capitalized by the Company will no longer be deferred. On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted new guidance regarding comprehensive income, which was retrospectively applied, that provides companies with the option to present the total of comprehensive income, components of net income, and the components of OCI either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements in annual financial statements. The standard eliminates the option to present components of OCI as part of the statement of changes in stockholder's equity. The Company adopted the two-statement approach for annual financial statements. Effective January 1, 2012, the Company adopted new guidance regarding fair value measurements that establishes common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. Some of the amendments clarify the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") intent on the application of existing 23

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) fair value measurement requirements. Other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements other than the expanded disclosures in Note 7. Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements In February 2013, the FASB issued new guidance regarding liabilities (Accounting Standards Update 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date), effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim periods within those years. The amendments require an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of the guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. In addition, the amendments require an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation, as well as other information about the obligation. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements. 2. Insurance Insurance Liabilities Future policy benefits are measured as follows: Product Type: Measurement Assumptions: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Participating life Aggregate of net level premium reserves for death and endowment policy benefits (calculated based upon the non-forfeiture interest rate of 4%, and mortality rates guaranteed in calculating the cash surrender values described in such contracts). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nonparticipating life Aggregate of the present value of expected future benefit payments and related expenses less the present value of expected future net premiums. Assumptions as to mortality and persistency are based upon the Company's experience when the basis of the liability is established. Interest rate assumptions for the aggregate future policy benefit liabilities range from 3% to 7%. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Traditional fixed annuities after Present value of expected future annuitization payments. Interest rate assumptions used in establishing such liabilities range from 4% to 8%. Participating business represented 3% and 2% of the Company's life insurance in-force at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Participating policies represented 35%, 27% and 12% of gross life insurance premiums for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. PABs are equal to: (i) policy account values, which consist of an accumulation of gross premium payments; and (ii) credited interest, ranging from 1% to 8%, less expenses, mortality charges and withdrawals. 24

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 2. Insurance (continued) Account balances of contracts with insurance guarantees were invested in separate account asset classes as follows at: [Download Table] December 31, ------------------- 2013 2012 --------- --------- (In millions) Fund Groupings: Balanced........ $ 39,626 $ 35,569 Equity.......... 36,676 29,557 Bond............ 3,407 3,749 Money Market.... 448 527 --------- --------- Total.......... $ 80,157 $ 69,402 ========= ========= Based on the type of guarantee, the Company defines net amount at risk ("NAR") as listed below. Variable Annuity Guarantees In the Event of Death Defined as the death benefit less the total contract account value, as of the balance sheet date. It represents the amount of the claim that the Company would incur if death claims were filed on all contracts on the balance sheet date and includes any additional contractual claims associated with riders purchased to assist with covering income taxes payable upon death. At Annuitization Defined as the amount (if any) that would be required to be added to the total contract account value to purchase a lifetime income stream, based on current annuity rates, equal to the minimum amount provided under the guaranteed benefit. This amount represents the Company's potential economic exposure to such guarantees in the event all contractholders were to annuitize on the balance sheet date, even though the contracts contain terms that allow annuitization of the guaranteed amount only after the 10th anniversary of the contract, which not all contractholders have achieved. Universal and Variable Life Contracts Defined as the guarantee amount less the account value, as of the balance sheet date. It represents the amount of the claim that the Company would incur if death claims were filed on all contracts on the balance sheet date. The amounts in the table below include direct business, but exclude offsets from hedging or reinsurance, if any.

Insurance (continued) of Pittsburgh, including residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS"), to collateralize obligations under advances evidenced by funding agreements. The Company is permitted to withdraw any portion of the collateral in the custody of the FHLB of Pittsburgh as long as there is no event of default and the remaining qualified collateral is sufficient to satisfy the collateral maintenance level. Upon any event of default by the Company, the FHLB of Pittsburgh's recovery on the collateral is limited to the amount of the Company's liability to the FHLB of Pittsburgh. (2)Advances are collateralized by mortgage-backed securities. The amount of collateral presented is at estimated fair value. Separate Accounts Separate account assets and liabilities primarily include pass-through separate accounts totaling $81.6 billion and $70.7 billion at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, for which the policyholder assumes all investment risk. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, there were no investment gains (losses) on transfers of assets from the general account to the separate accounts. 3. Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs and Other Policy-Related Intangibles See Note 1 for a description of capitalized acquisition costs. Nonparticipating and Non-Dividend-Paying Traditional Contracts The Company amortizes DAC related to these contracts (primarily term insurance) over the appropriate premium paying period in proportion to the historic actual and expected future gross premiums that were set at contract issue. The expected premiums are based upon the premium requirement of each policy and assumptions for mortality, persistency and investment returns at policy issuance, or policy acquisition, include provisions for adverse deviation, and are consistent with the assumptions used to calculate future policyholder benefit liabilities. These assumptions are not revised after policy issuance or acquisition unless the DAC balance is deemed to be unrecoverable from future expected profits. Absent a premium deficiency, variability in amortization after policy issuance or acquisition is caused only by variability in premium volumes. Participating, Dividend-Paying Traditional Contracts The Company amortizes DAC related to these contracts over the estimated lives of the contracts in proportion to actual and expected future gross margins. The amortization includes interest based on rates in effect at inception or acquisition of the contracts. The future gross margins are dependent principally on investment returns, policyholder dividend scales, mortality, persistency, expenses to administer the business, creditworthiness of reinsurance counterparties and certain economic variables, such as inflation. Of these factors, the Company anticipates that investment returns, expenses, persistency and other factor changes, as well as policyholder dividend scales are reasonably likely to impact significantly the rate of DAC amortization. Each reporting period, the Company updates the estimated gross margins with the actual gross margins for that period. When the actual gross margins change from previously estimated gross margins, the cumulative DAC amortization is re-estimated and adjusted by a cumulative charge or credit to current operations. When actual 29

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs and Other Policy-Related Intangibles (continued) gross margins exceed those previously estimated, the DAC amortization will increase, resulting in a current period charge to earnings. The opposite result occurs when the actual gross margins are below the previously estimated gross margins. Each reporting period, the Company also updates the actual amount of business in-force, which impacts expected future gross margins. When expected future gross margins are below those previously estimated, the DAC amortization will increase, resulting in a current period charge to earnings. The opposite result occurs when the expected future gross margins are above the previously estimated expected future gross margins. Each period, the Company also reviews the estimated gross margins for each block of business to determine the recoverability of DAC balances. Fixed and Variable Universal Life Contracts and Fixed and Variable Deferred Annuity Contracts The Company amortizes DAC related to these contracts over the estimated lives of the contracts in proportion to actual and expected future gross profits. The amortization includes interest based on rates in effect at inception or acquisition of the contracts. The amount of future gross profits is dependent principally upon returns in excess of the amounts credited to policyholders, mortality, persistency, interest crediting rates, expenses to administer the business, creditworthiness of reinsurance counterparties, the effect of any hedges used and certain economic variables, such as inflation. Of these factors, the Company anticipates that investment returns, expenses and persistency are reasonably likely to impact significantly the rate of DAC amortization. Each reporting period, the Company updates the estimated gross profits with the actual gross profits for that period. When the actual gross profits change from previously estimated gross profits, the cumulative DAC amortization is re-estimated and adjusted by a cumulative charge or credit to current operations. When actual gross profits exceed those previously estimated, the DAC amortization will increase, resulting in a current period charge to earnings. The opposite result occurs when the actual gross profits are below the previously estimated gross profits. Each reporting period, the Company also updates the actual amount of business remaining in-force, which impacts expected future gross profits. When expected future gross profits are below those previously estimated, the DAC amortization will increase, resulting in a current period charge to earnings. The opposite result occurs when the expected future gross profits are above the previously estimated expected future gross profits. Each period, the Company also reviews the estimated gross profits for each block of business to determine the recoverability of DAC balances. Factors Impacting Amortization Separate account rates of return on variable universal life contracts and variable deferred annuity contracts affect in-force account balances on such contracts each reporting period, which can result in significant fluctuations in amortization of DAC. Returns that are higher than the Company's long-term expectation produce higher account balances, which increases the Company's future fee expectations and decreases future benefit payment expectations on minimum death and living benefit guarantees, resulting in higher expected future gross profits. The opposite result occurs when returns are lower than the Company's long-term expectation. The Company's practice to determine the impact of gross profits resulting from returns on separate accounts assumes that long-term appreciation in equity markets is not changed by short-term market fluctuations, but is only changed when sustained interim deviations are expected. The Company monitors these events and only changes the assumption when its long-term expectation changes. 30

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 3. Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs and Other Policy-Related Intangibles (continued) The Company also periodically reviews other long-term assumptions underlying the projections of estimated gross margins and profits. These assumptions primarily relate to investment returns, policyholder dividend scales, interest crediting rates, mortality, persistency and expenses to administer business. Management annually updates assumptions used in the calculation of estimated gross margins and profits which may have significantly changed. If the update of assumptions causes expected future gross margins and profits to increase, DAC amortization will decrease, resulting in a current period increase to earnings. The opposite result occurs when the assumption update causes expected future gross margins and profits to decrease. Periodically, the Company modifies product benefits, features, rights or coverages that occur by the exchange of a contract for a new contract, or by amendment, endorsement, or rider to a contract, or by election or coverage within a contract. If such modification, referred to as an internal replacement, substantially changes the contract, the associated DAC is written off immediately through income and any new deferrable costs associated with the replacement contract are deferred. If the modification does not substantially change the contract, the DAC amortization on the original contract will continue and any acquisition costs associated with the related modification are expensed. Amortization of DAC is attributed to net investment gains (losses) and net derivative gains (losses), and to other expenses for the amount of gross margins or profits originating from transactions other than investment gains and losses. Unrealized investment gains and losses represent the amount of DAC that would have been amortized if such gains and losses had been recognized. Information regarding DAC was as follows: [Enlarge/Download Table] Years Ended December 31, -------------------------- 2013 2012 2011 -------- -------- -------- (In millions) DAC Balance at January 1,............................................ $ 2,906 $ 2,918 $ 2,346 Capitalizations.................................................. 476 821 1,274 Amortization related to: Net investment gains (losses) and net derivative gains (losses). 461 (366) (290) Other expenses..................................................

These amounts were previously included in the calculated value of the deposit receivable on this agreement and recorded within premiums, reinsurance and other receivables. 31

Reinsurance The Company enters into reinsurance agreements primarily as a purchaser of reinsurance for its various insurance products and also as a provider of reinsurance for some insurance products issued by an affiliate. The Company participates in reinsurance activities in order to limit losses, minimize exposure to significant risks and provide additional capacity for future growth. Accounting for reinsurance requires extensive use of assumptions and estimates, particularly related to the future performance of the underlying business and the potential impact of counterparty credit risks. The Company periodically reviews actual and anticipated experience compared to the aforementioned assumptions used to establish assets and liabilities relating to ceded and assumed reinsurance and evaluates the financial strength of counterparties to its reinsurance agreements using criteria similar to that evaluated in the security impairment process discussed in Note 5. The Company currently reinsures 100% of the living and death benefit guarantees issued in connection with its variable annuities to affiliated reinsurers. Under these reinsurance agreements, the Company pays a reinsurance premium generally based on fees associated with the guarantees collected from policyholders and receives reimbursement for benefits paid or accrued in excess of account values, subject to certain limitations. The Company also reinsures 90% of its fixed annuities to an affiliated reinsurer. The value of the embedded 32

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 4. Reinsurance (continued) derivatives on the ceded risk is determined using a methodology consistent with the guarantees directly written by the Company with the exception of the input for nonperformance risk that reflects the credit of the reinsurer. For its individual life insurance products, the Company has historically reinsured the mortality risk primarily on an excess of retention basis or on a quota share basis. The Company currently reinsures 100% of the mortality risk in excess of $100,000 per life for most new policies and reinsures up to 100% of the mortality risk for certain other policies. In addition to reinsuring mortality risk as described above, the Company reinsures other risks, as well as specific coverages. Placement of reinsurance is done primarily on an automatic basis and also on a facultative basis for risks with specified characteristics. The Company also reinsures the risk associated with secondary death benefit guarantees on certain universal life insurance policies to affiliates. The Company evaluates its reinsurance programs routinely and may increase or decrease its retention at any time. The Company has exposure to catastrophes, which could contribute to significant fluctuations in the Company's results of operations. The Company uses excess of retention and quota share reinsurance agreements to provide greater diversification of risk and minimize exposure to larger risks. The Company reinsures its business through a diversified group of well-capitalized reinsurers. The Company analyzes recent trends in arbitration and litigation outcomes in disputes, if any, with its reinsurers. The Company monitors ratings and evaluates the financial strength of its reinsurers by analyzing their financial statements. In addition, the reinsurance recoverable balance due from each reinsurer is evaluated as part of the overall monitoring process. Recoverability of reinsurance recoverable balances is evaluated based on these analyses. The Company generally secures large reinsurance recoverable balances with various forms of collateral, including secured trusts and funds withheld accounts. These reinsurance recoverable balances are stated net of allowances for uncollectible reinsurance, which at December 31, 2013 and 2012, were not significant. The Company has secured certain reinsurance recoverable balances with various forms of collateral, including secured trusts and funds withheld accounts. The Company had $475 million and $386 million of unsecured unaffiliated reinsurance recoverable balances at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. At December 31, 2013, the Company had $635 million of net unaffiliated ceded reinsurance recoverables. Of this total, $559 million, or 88%, were with the Company's five largest unaffiliated ceded reinsurers, including $399 million of net unaffiliated ceded reinsurance recoverables which were unsecured. At December 31, 2012, the Company had $541 million of net unaffiliated ceded reinsurance recoverables. Of this total, $478 million, or 88%, were with the Company's five largest unaffiliated ceded reinsurers, including $323 million of net unaffiliated ceded reinsurance recoverables which were unsecured. 33

The agreement covers certain term and certain universal life policies issued in 2012 by the Company and was amended in 2013 to include certain term and universal life policies issued by the Company through December 31, 2013. The agreement transfers risk to MRD and, therefore, is accounted for as reinsurance. As a result of the agreement, affiliated reinsurance recoverables, included in premiums, reinsurance and other receivables, were $917 million and $407 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company also recorded a funds withheld liability and other reinsurance payables, included in other liabilities, which were $798 million and $438 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Certain contractual features of this agreement qualify as embedded derivatives, which are separately accounted for at fair value on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The embedded derivative related to the funds withheld associated with this reinsurance agreement is included within other liabilities and was ($14) million and $6 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company's consolidated statements of operations reflected a loss for this agreement of $50 million and $37 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which included net derivative gains (losses) of $20 million and ($6) million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to the embedded derivative. The Company ceded risks to affiliates related to guaranteed minimum benefit guarantees written directly by the Company. These ceded reinsurance agreements contain embedded derivatives and changes in their fair value are included within net derivative gains (losses). The embedded derivatives associated with the cessions are included within premiums, reinsurance and other receivables and were assets of $642 million and $3.9 billion at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Net derivative gains (losses) associated with the embedded derivatives were ($3.8) billion, $439 million, and $1.7 billion for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company ceded two blocks of business to an affiliate on a 90% coinsurance with funds withheld basis. Certain contractual features of this agreement qualify as embedded derivatives, which are separately accounted for at estimated fair value on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

Net derivative gains (losses) associated with the embedded derivatives were $498 million, ($107) million and ($434) million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company has secured certain reinsurance recoverable balances with various forms of collateral, including secured trusts, funds withheld accounts and irrevocable letters of credit. The Company had $5.4 billion and $6.1 billion of unsecured affiliated reinsurance recoverable balances at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Affiliated reinsurance agreements that do not expose the Company to a reasonable possibility of a significant loss from insurance risk are recorded using the deposit method of accounting. The deposit assets on affiliated reinsurance were $3.9 billion and $4.0 billion, at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. There were no deposit liabilities on affiliated reinsurance at both December 31, 2013 and 2012. 5. Investments See Note 7 for information about the fair value hierarchy for investments and the related valuation methodologies. Investment Risks and Uncertainties Investments are exposed to the following primary sources of risk: credit, interest rate, liquidity, market valuation, currency and real estate risk. The financial statement risks, stemming from such investment risks, are those associated with the determination of estimated fair values, the diminished ability to sell certain investments in times of strained market conditions, the recognition of impairments, the recognition of income on certain investments and the potential consolidation of variable interest entities ("VIEs"). The use of different methodologies, assumptions and inputs relating to these financial statement risks may have a material effect on the amounts presented within the consolidated financial statements. The determination of valuation allowances and impairments is highly subjective and is based upon periodic evaluations and assessments of known and inherent risks associated with the respective asset class. Such evaluations and assessments are revised as conditions change and new information becomes available. The recognition of income on certain investments (e.g. structured securities, including mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities ("ABS") and certain structured investment transactions) is dependent upon certain factors such as prepayments and defaults, and changes in such factors could result in changes in amounts to be earned. 38

Methodology for Amortization of Premium and Accretion of Discount on Structured Securities Amortization of premium and accretion of discount on structured securities considers the estimated timing and amount of prepayments of the underlying loans. Actual prepayment experience is periodically reviewed and effective yields are recalculated when differences arise between the originally anticipated and the actual prepayments received and currently anticipated. Prepayment assumptions for single class and multi-class mortgage-backed and ABS are estimated using inputs obtained from third-party specialists and based on management's knowledge of the current market. For credit-sensitive mortgage-backed and ABS and certain prepayment-sensitive securities, the effective yield is recalculated on a prospective basis. For all other mortgage-backed and ABS, the effective yield is recalculated on a retrospective basis. 39

Inherent in management's evaluation of the security are assumptions and estimates about the operations of the issuer and its future earnings potential. Considerations used in the impairment evaluation process include, but are not limited to: (i) the length of time and the extent to which the estimated fair value has been below cost or amortized cost; (ii) the potential for impairments when the issuer is experiencing significant financial difficulties; (iii) the potential for impairments in an entire industry sector or sub-sector; (iv) the potential for impairments in certain economically depressed geographic locations; (v) the potential for impairments where the issuer, series of issuers or industry has suffered a catastrophic loss or has exhausted natural resources; (vi) with respect to fixed maturity securities, whether the Company has the intent to sell or will more likely than not be required to sell a particular security before the decline in estimated fair value below amortized cost recovers; (vii) with respect to structured securities, changes in forecasted cash flows 41

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 5. Investments (continued) after considering the quality of underlying collateral, expected prepayment speeds, current and forecasted loss severity, consideration of the payment terms of the underlying assets backing a particular security, and the payment priority within the tranche structure of the security; and (viii) other subjective factors, including concentrations and information obtained from regulators and rating agencies. The methodology and significant inputs used to determine the amount of credit loss on fixed maturity securities are as follows: . The Company calculates the recovery value by performing a discounted cash flow analysis based on the present value of future cash flows. The discount rate is generally the effective interest rate of the security prior to impairment. . When determining collectability and the period over which value is expected to recover, the Company applies considerations utilized in its overall impairment evaluation process which incorporates information regarding the specific security, fundamentals of the industry and geographic area in which the security issuer operates, and overall macroeconomic conditions. Projected future cash flows are estimated using assumptions derived from management's best estimates of likely scenario-based outcomes after giving consideration to a variety of variables that include, but are not limited to: payment terms of the security; the likelihood that the issuer can service the interest and principal payments; the quality and amount of any credit enhancements; the security's position within the capital structure of the issuer; possible corporate restructurings or asset sales by the issuer; and changes to the rating of the security or the issuer by rating agencies. . Additional considerations are made when assessing the unique features that apply to certain structured securities including, but not limited to: the quality of underlying collateral, expected prepayment speeds, current and forecasted loss severity, consideration of the payment terms of the underlying loans or assets backing a particular security, and the payment priority within the tranche structure of the security. . When determining the amount of the credit loss for U.S. and foreign corporate securities, foreign government securities and state and political subdivision securities, the estimated fair value is considered the recovery value when available information does not indicate that another value is more appropriate. When information is identified that indicates a recovery value other than estimated fair value, management considers in the determination of recovery value the same considerations utilized in its overall impairment evaluation process as described above, as well as any private and public sector programs to restructure such securities. With respect to securities that have attributes of debt and equity (perpetual hybrid securities), consideration is given in the OTTI analysis as to whether there has been any deterioration in the credit of the issuer and the likelihood of recovery in value of the securities that are in a severe and extended unrealized loss position. Consideration is also given as to whether any perpetual hybrid securities, with an unrealized loss, regardless of credit rating, have deferred any dividend payments. When an OTTI loss has occurred, the OTTI loss is the entire difference between the perpetual hybrid security's cost and its estimated fair value with a corresponding charge to earnings. 42

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 5. Investments (continued) The cost or amortized cost of fixed maturity and equity securities is adjusted for OTTI in the period in which the determination is made. The Company does not change the revised cost basis for subsequent recoveries in value. In periods subsequent to the recognition of OTTI on a fixed maturity security, the Company accounts for the impaired security as if it had been purchased on the measurement date of the impairment. Accordingly, the discount (or reduced premium) based on the new cost basis is accreted over the remaining term of the fixed maturity security in a prospective manner based on the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows. Current Period Evaluation Based on the Company's current evaluation of its AFS securities in an unrealized loss position in accordance with its impairment policy, and the Company's current intentions and assessments (as applicable to the type of security) about holding, selling and any requirements to sell these securities, the Company has concluded that these securities are not other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2013. Future OTTI will depend primarily on economic fundamentals, issuer performance (including changes in the present value of future cash flows expected to be collected), and changes in credit ratings, collateral valuation, interest rates and credit spreads. If economic fundamentals deteriorate or if there are adverse changes in the above factors, OTTI may be incurred in upcoming periods. Gross unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities increased $191 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 from $28 million to $219 million. The increase in gross unrealized losses for the year ended December 31, 2013, was primarily attributable to an increase in interest rates, partially offset by narrowing credit spreads. At December 31, 2013, $2 million of the total $219 million of gross unrealized losses were from two fixed maturity securities with an unrealized loss position of 20% or more of amortized cost for six months or greater. Investment Grade Fixed Maturity Securities All of the $2 million of gross unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities with an unrealized loss of 20% or more of amortized cost for six months or greater are related to gross unrealized losses on one investment grade fixed maturity security. Unrealized losses on investment grade fixed maturity securities are principally related to widening credit spreads and, with respect to fixed-rate fixed maturity securities, rising interest rates since purchase. Below Investment Grade Fixed Maturity Securities Less than $1 million of the $2 million of gross unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities with an unrealized loss of 20% or more of amortized cost for six months or greater, are related to gross unrealized losses on one below investment grade fixed maturity security. 43

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 5.

Specific valuation allowances are established using the same methodology for both portfolio segments as the excess carrying value of a loan over either (i) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate, (ii) the estimated fair value of the loan's underlying collateral if the loan is in the process of foreclosure or otherwise collateral dependent, or (iii) the loan's observable market price. A common evaluation framework is used for establishing non-specific valuation allowances for both loan portfolio segments; however, a separate non-specific valuation allowance is calculated and maintained for each loan portfolio segment that is based on inputs unique to each loan portfolio segment. Non-specific valuation allowances are established for pools of loans with similar risk characteristics where a property-specific or market-specific risk has not been identified, but for which the Company expects to incur a credit loss. These evaluations are based upon several loan portfolio segment-specific factors, including the Company's experience for loan losses, defaults and loss severity, and loss expectations for loans with similar risk characteristics. These evaluations are revised as conditions change and new information becomes available. Commercial and Agricultural Mortgage Loan Portfolio Segments The Company typically uses several years of historical experience in establishing non-specific valuation allowances which captures multiple economic cycles. For evaluations of commercial mortgage loans, in addition to historical experience, management considers factors that include the impact of a rapid change to the economy, which may not be reflected in the loan portfolio, and recent loss and recovery trend experience as compared to historical loss and recovery experience. For evaluations of agricultural mortgage loans, in addition to historical experience, management considers factors that include increased stress in certain sectors, which may be evidenced by higher delinquency rates, or a change in the number of higher risk loans. On a quarterly basis, management incorporates the impact of these current market events and conditions on historical experience in determining the non-specific valuation allowance established for commercial and agricultural mortgage loans. 45

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 5. Investments (continued) All commercial mortgage loans are reviewed on an ongoing basis which may include an analysis of the property financial statements and rent roll, lease rollover analysis, property inspections, market analysis, estimated valuations of the underlying collateral, loan-to-value ratios, debt service coverage ratios, and tenant creditworthiness. All agricultural mortgage loans are monitored on an ongoing basis. The monitoring process focuses on higher risk loans, which include those that are classified as restructured, delinquent or in foreclosure, as well as loans with higher loan-to-value ratios and lower debt service coverage ratios. The monitoring process for agricultural mortgage loans is generally similar to the commercial mortgage loan monitoring process, with a focus on higher risk loans, including reviews on a geographic and property-type basis. Higher risk loans are reviewed individually on an ongoing basis for potential credit loss and specific valuation allowances are established using the methodology described above. Quarterly, the remaining loans are reviewed on a pool basis by aggregating groups of loans that have similar risk characteristics for potential credit loss, and non-specific valuation allowances are established as described above using inputs that are unique to each segment of the loan portfolio. For commercial mortgage loans, the primary credit quality indicator is the debt service coverage ratio, which compares a property's net operating income to amounts needed to service the principal and interest due under the loan. Generally, the lower the debt service coverage ratio, the higher the risk of experiencing a credit loss. The Company also reviews the loan-to-value ratio of its commercial mortgage loan portfolio. Loan-to-value ratios compare the unpaid principal balance of the loan to the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. Generally, the higher the loan-to-value ratio, the higher the risk of experiencing a credit loss. The debt service coverage ratio and loan-to-value ratio, as well as the values utilized in calculating these ratios, are updated annually, on a rolling basis, with a portion of the loan portfolio updated each quarter. For agricultural mortgage loans, the Company's primary credit quality indicator is the loan-to-value ratio. The values utilized in calculating this ratio are developed in connection with the ongoing review of the agricultural mortgage loan portfolio and are routinely updated. 46

Investments (continued) Impaired Mortgage Loans The Company had no impaired mortgage loans at both December 31, 2013 and 2012. The average investment on impaired mortgage loans was $0 and $1 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company did not recognize interest income on impaired mortgage loans during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. Mortgage Loans Modified in a Troubled Debt Restructuring The Company may grant concessions related to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties which are classified as troubled debt restructurings. Generally, the types of concessions include: reduction of the contractual interest rate, extension of the maturity date at an interest rate lower than current market interest rates, and/or a reduction of accrued interest. The amount, timing and extent of the concession granted is considered in determining any impairment or changes in the specific valuation allowance recorded with the restructuring. Through the continuous monitoring process, a specific valuation allowance may have been recorded prior to the quarter when the mortgage loan is modified in a troubled debt restructuring. Accordingly, the carrying value (after specific valuation allowance) before and after modification through a troubled debt restructuring may not change significantly, or may increase if the expected recovery is higher than the pre-modification recovery assessment. There were no mortgage loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. Other Invested Assets Other invested assets is comprised of loans to affiliates (see "-- Related Party Investment Transactions"), freestanding derivatives with positive estimated fair values (see Note 6), tax credit and renewable energy partnerships and leveraged leases.

The payment periods range from two to 19 years. For rental receivables, the primary credit quality indicator is whether the rental receivable is performing or nonperforming, which is assessed monthly. The Company generally defines nonperforming rental receivables as those that are 90 days or more past due. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, all rental receivables were performing. 48

If subsequently, based on current information and events, it is probable that there is a significant increase in cash flows previously expected to be collected or if actual cash flows are significantly greater than cash flows previously expected to be collected, the accretable yield is adjusted prospectively. The excess of the contractually required payments (including interest) as of the acquisition date over the cash flows expected to be collected as of the acquisition date is referred to as the nonaccretable difference, and this amount is not expected to be realized as net investment income.

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 5. Investments (continued) Collectively Significant Equity Method Investments The Company holds investments in real estate joint ventures, real estate funds and other limited partnership interests consisting of leveraged buy-out funds, hedge funds, private equity funds, joint ventures and other funds. The portion of these investments accounted for under the equity method had a carrying value of $972 million at December 31, 2013. The Company's maximum exposure to loss related to these equity method investments is limited to the carrying value of these investments plus unfunded commitments of $472 million at December 31, 2013. Except for certain real estate joint ventures, the Company's investments in real estate funds and other limited partnership interests are generally of a passive nature in that the Company does not participate in the management of the entities. As described in Note 1, the Company generally records its share of earnings in its equity method investments using a three-month lag methodology and within net investment income. Aggregate net investment income from these equity method investments exceeded 10% of the Company's consolidated pre-tax income (loss) for one of the three most recent annual periods: 2013. The Company is providing the following aggregated summarized financial data for such equity method investments, for the most recent annual periods, in order to provide comparative information. This aggregated summarized financial data does not represent the Company's proportionate share of the assets, liabilities, or earnings of such entities. The aggregated summarized financial data presented below reflects the latest available financial information and is as of, and for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. Aggregate total assets of these entities totaled $185.7 billion and $148.5 billion at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Aggregate total liabilities of these entities totaled $8.1 billion and $4.9 billion at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Aggregate net income (loss) of these entities totaled $18.5 billion, $11.8 billion and $5.0 billion for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Aggregate net income (loss) from the underlying entities in which the Company invests is primarily comprised of investment income, including recurring investment income and realized and unrealized investment gains (losses). Variable Interest Entities The Company has invested in certain structured transactions that are VIEs. In certain instances, the Company may hold both the power to direct the most significant activities of the entity, as well as an economic interest in the entity and, as such, it would be deemed the primary beneficiary or consolidator of the entity. The determination of the VIE's primary beneficiary requires an evaluation of the contractual and implied rights and obligations associated with each party's relationship with or involvement in the entity, an estimate of the entity's expected losses and expected residual returns and the allocation of such estimates to each party involved in the entity. The Company generally uses a qualitative approach to determine whether it is the primary beneficiary. However, for VIEs that are investment companies or apply measurement principles consistent with those utilized by investment companies, the primary beneficiary is based on a risks and rewards model and is defined as the entity that will absorb a majority of a VIE's expected losses, receive a majority of a VIE's expected residual returns if no single entity absorbs a majority of expected losses, or both. The Company reassesses its involvement with VIEs on a quarterly basis. The use of different methodologies, assumptions and inputs in the determination of the primary beneficiary could have a material effect on the amounts presented within the consolidated financial statements. 53

The maximum exposure to loss relating to other limited partnership interests is equal to the carrying amounts plus any unfunded commitments of the Company. For its investments in other invested assets, the Company's return is in the form of income tax credits. For such investments, the maximum exposure to loss is equal to the carrying amounts plus any unfunded commitment. Such a maximum loss would be expected to occur only upon bankruptcy of the issuer or investee. (2)For these variable interests, the Company's involvement is limited to that of a passive investor. As described in Note 12, the Company makes commitments to fund partnership investments in the normal course of business. Excluding these commitments, the Company did not provide financial or other support to investees designated as VIEs during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. 54

A loan issued in 2013 for $30 million bears interest at one-month LIBOR + 4.50% with quarterly interest only payments of less than $1 million through January 2017, when the principal balance is due. A loan with a carrying value of $77 million, at both December 31, 2013 and 2012, bears interest at 7.26% due in quarterly principal and interest payments of $2 million through January 2020, when the remaining principal balance is due. A loan with a carrying value of $40 million, at both December 31, 2013 and 2012, bears interest at 7.01% with quarterly interest only payments of $1 million through January 2020, when the principal balance is due. These affiliated loans are secured by interests in the real estate subsidiaries, which own operating real estate with a fair value in excess of the loans. Net investment income from these affiliated loans was $8 million, $8 million and $9 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company has affiliated loans outstanding which are included in other invested assets, totaling $125 million at both December 31, 2013 and 2012.

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 6. Derivatives Accounting for Derivatives See Note 1 for a description of the Company's accounting policies for derivatives and Note 7 for information about the fair value hierarchy for derivatives. Derivative Strategies The Company is exposed to various risks relating to its ongoing business operations, including interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate, credit and equity market. The Company uses a variety of strategies to manage these risks, including the use of derivatives. Derivatives are financial instruments whose values are derived from interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, credit spreads and/or other financial indices. Derivatives may be exchange-traded or contracted in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market. Certain of the Company's OTC derivatives are cleared and settled through central clearing counterparties ("OTC-cleared"), while others are bilateral contracts between two counterparties ("OTC-bilateral"). The types of derivatives the Company uses include swaps, forwards, futures and option contracts. To a lesser extent, the Company uses credit default swaps to synthetically replicate investment risks and returns which are not readily available in the cash market. Interest Rate Derivatives The Company uses a variety of interest rate derivatives to reduce its exposure to changes in interest rates, including interest rate swaps, caps, floors and forwards. Interest rate swaps are used by the Company primarily to reduce market risks from changes in interest rates and to alter interest rate exposure arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities (duration mismatches). In an interest rate swap, the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed rate and floating rate interest amounts as calculated by reference to an agreed notional amount. The Company utilizes interest rate swaps in fair value, cash flow and non-qualifying hedging relationships. The Company purchases interest rate caps and floors primarily to protect its floating rate liabilities against rises in interest rates above a specified level, and against interest rate exposure arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities, as well as to protect its minimum rate guarantee liabilities against declines in interest rates below a specified level, respectively. In certain instances, the Company locks in the economic impact of existing purchased caps and floors by entering into offsetting written caps and floors. The Company utilizes interest rate caps and floors in non-qualifying hedging relationships. The Company enters into interest rate forwards to buy and sell securities. The price is agreed upon at the time of the contract and payment for such a contract is made at a specified future date. The Company utilizes interest rate forwards in cash flow hedging relationships. To a lesser extent, the Company uses interest rate futures in non-qualifying hedging relationships. 59

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 6. Derivatives (continued) Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Derivatives The Company uses foreign currency swaps to reduce the risk from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with its assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. In a foreign currency swap transaction, the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between one currency and another at a fixed exchange rate, generally set at inception, calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional amount. The notional amount of each currency is exchanged at the inception and termination of the currency swap by each party. The Company utilizes foreign currency swaps in cash flow and non-qualifying hedging relationships. To a lesser extent, the Company uses foreign currency forwards in non-qualifying hedging relationships. Credit Derivatives The Company enters into purchased credit default swaps to hedge against credit-related changes in the value of its investments. In a credit default swap transaction, the Company agrees with another party to pay, at specified intervals, a premium to hedge credit risk. If a credit event occurs, as defined by the contract, the contract may be cash settled or it may be settled gross by the delivery of par quantities of the referenced investment equal to the specified swap notional in exchange for the payment of cash amounts by the counterparty equal to the par value of the investment surrendered. Credit events vary by type of issuer but typically include bankruptcy, failure to pay debt obligations, repudiation, moratorium, or involuntary restructuring. In each case, payout on a credit default swap is triggered only after the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee of the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA") deems that a credit event has occurred. The Company utilizes credit default swaps in non-qualifying hedging relationships. The Company enters into written credit default swaps to synthetically create credit investments that are either more expensive to acquire or otherwise unavailable in the cash markets. These transactions are a combination of a derivative and one or more cash instruments, such as U.S. Treasury securities, agency securities or other fixed maturity securities. These credit default swaps are not designated as hedging instruments. Equity Derivatives The Company uses equity index options to reduce its exposure to equity market risk in non-qualifying hedging relationships. 60

The Company's use of derivatives includes (i) derivatives that serve as macro hedges of the Company's exposure to various risks and that generally do not qualify for hedge accounting due to the criteria required under the portfolio hedging rules; (ii) derivatives that economically hedge insurance liabilities that contain mortality or morbidity risk and that generally do not qualify for hedge accounting because the lack of these risks in the derivatives cannot support an expectation of a highly effective hedging relationship; (iii) derivatives that economically hedge embedded derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting because the changes in estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives are already recorded in net income; and (iv) written credit default swaps that are used to synthetically create credit investments and that do not qualify for hedge accounting because they do not involve a hedging relationship. For these non-qualified derivatives, changes in market factors can lead to the recognition of fair value changes in the consolidated statement of operations without an offsetting gain or loss recognized in earnings for the item being hedged. 61

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 6. Derivatives (continued) Fair Value Hedges The Company designates and accounts for interest rate swaps to convert fixed rate assets to floating rate assets as fair value hedges when they have met the requirements of fair value hedging. The amount the Company recognized in net derivative gains (losses) representing the ineffective portion of all fair value hedges was not significant for both years ended December 31, 2013 and 2011, and was ($1) million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Changes in the fair value of the derivatives recognized in net derivative gains (losses) were $2 million and ($2) million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and not significant for the year ended December 31, 2011. Changes in the fair value of the hedged items recognized in net derivative gains (losses) were ($2) million and $1 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and not significant for the year ended December 31, 2011. All components of each derivative's gain or loss were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Cash Flow Hedges The Company designates and accounts for the following as cash flow hedges when they have met the requirements of cash flow hedging: (i) foreign currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency cash flow exposure of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities; (ii) interest rate forwards to lock in the price to be paid for forward purchases of investments; and (iii) interest rate swaps and interest rate forwards to hedge the forecasted purchases of fixed-rate investments. In certain instances, the Company discontinued cash flow hedge accounting because the forecasted transactions were no longer probable of occurring. Because certain of the forecasted transactions also were not probable of occurring within two months of the anticipated date, the Company reclassified certain amounts from AOCI into net derivative gains (losses). These amounts were $0, $0, and $1 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the maximum length of time over which the Company was hedging its exposure to variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions did not exceed six years and seven years, respectively. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the balance in AOCI associated with cash flow hedges was $4 million and $142 million, respectively. 63

At December 31, 2013, ($1) million of deferred net gains (losses) on derivatives in AOCI was expected to be reclassified to earnings within the next 12 months. Credit Derivatives In connection with synthetically created credit investment transactions, the Company writes credit default swaps for which it receives a premium to insure credit risk. Such credit derivatives are included within the non-qualifying derivatives and derivatives for purposes other than hedging table. If a credit event occurs, as defined by the contract, the contract may be cash settled or it may be settled gross by the Company paying the counterparty the specified swap notional amount in exchange for the delivery of par quantities of the referenced credit obligation. The Company's maximum amount at risk, assuming the value of all referenced credit obligations is zero, was $528 million and $624 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company can terminate these contracts at any time through cash settlement with the counterparty at an amount equal to the then current fair value of the credit default swaps. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company would have received $11 million and $5 million, respectively, to terminate all of these contracts. 64

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 6. Derivatives (continued) Credit Risk on Freestanding Derivatives The Company may be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to derivatives. Generally, the current credit exposure of the Company's derivatives is limited to the net positive estimated fair value of derivatives at the reporting date after taking into consideration the existence of master netting or similar agreements and any collateral received pursuant to such agreements. The Company manages its credit risk related to derivatives by entering into transactions with creditworthy counterparties and establishing and monitoring exposure limits. The Company's OTC-bilateral derivative transactions are generally governed by ISDA Master Agreements which provide for legally enforceable set-off and close-out netting of exposures to specific counterparties in the event of early termination of a transaction, which includes, but is not limited to, events of default and bankruptcy. In the event of an early termination, the Company is permitted to set off receivables from the counterparty against payables to the same counterparty arising out of all included transactions. Substantially all of the Company's ISDA Master Agreements also include Credit Support Annex provisions which require both the pledging and accepting of collateral in connection with its OTC-bilateral derivatives. The Company's OTC-cleared derivatives are effected through central clearing counterparties and its exchange-traded derivatives are effected through regulated exchanges. Such positions are marked to market and margined on a daily basis, and the Company has minimal exposure to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to such derivatives. See Note 7 for a description of the impact of credit risk on the valuation of derivatives. 66

Derivatives (continued) sheets. The amount of cash collateral offset in the table above is limited to the net estimated fair value of derivatives after application of netting agreements. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company received excess cash collateral of $5 million and $0, respectively, and provided excess cash collateral of $1 million and $1 million, respectively, which is not included in the table above due to the foregoing limitation. (4)Securities collateral received by the Company is held in separate custodial accounts and is not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. Subject to certain constraints, the Company is permitted by contract to sell or repledge this collateral, but at December 31, 2013 none of the collateral had been sold or repledged. Securities collateral pledged by the Company is reported in fixed maturity securities in the consolidated balance sheets. Subject to certain constraints, the counterparties are permitted by contract to sell or repledge this collateral. The amount of securities collateral offset in the table above is limited to the net estimated fair value of derivatives after application of netting agreements and cash collateral. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company received excess securities collateral with an estimated fair value of $4 million and $12 million, respectively, for its OTC-bilateral derivatives, which are not included in the table above due to the foregoing limitation. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company provided excess securities collateral with an estimated fair value of $0 and $0, respectively, for its OTC-bilateral derivatives and $12 million and $0, respectively, for its OTC-cleared derivatives, which are not included in the table above due to the foregoing limitation. At both December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not pledge any securities collateral for its exchange-traded derivatives. The Company's collateral arrangements for its OTC-bilateral derivatives generally require the counterparty in a net liability position, after considering the effect of netting agreements, to pledge collateral when the fair value of that counterparty's derivatives reaches a pre-determined threshold. Certain of these arrangements also include financial strength-contingent provisions that provide for a reduction of these thresholds (on a sliding scale that converges toward zero) in the event of downgrades in the financial strength ratings of the Company and/or the credit rating of the counterparty. In addition, certain of the Company's netting agreements for derivatives contain provisions that require both the Company and the counterparty to maintain a specific investment grade financial strength or credit rating from each of Moody's and S&P. If a party's financial strength or credit ratings were to fall below that specific investment grade financial strength or credit rating, that party would be in violation of these provisions, and the other party to the derivatives could terminate the transactions and demand immediate settlement and payment based on such party's reasonable valuation of the derivatives. 68

(2)See Note 4 for discussion of affiliated net derivative gains (losses) included in the table above. 7. Fair Value When developing estimated fair values, the Company considers three broad valuation techniques: (i) the market approach, (ii) the income approach, and (iii) the cost approach. The Company determines the most appropriate valuation technique to use, given what is being measured and the availability of sufficient inputs, giving priority to observable inputs. The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value into a three-level hierarchy, based on the significant input with the lowest level in its valuation. The input levels are as follows: Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company defines active markets based on average trading volume for equity securities. The size of the bid/ask spread is used as an indicator of market activity for fixed maturity securities. Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly. These inputs can include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities other than quoted prices in Level 1, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other significant inputs that are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the determination of estimated fair value of the assets or liabilities. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Financial markets are susceptible to severe events evidenced by rapid depreciation in asset values accompanied by a reduction in asset liquidity. The Company's ability to sell securities, or the price ultimately realized for these securities, depends upon the demand and liquidity in the market and increases the use of judgment in determining the estimated fair value of certain securities. 70

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 7. Fair Value (continued) (3)Investment performance related to separate account assets is fully offset by corresponding amounts credited to contractholders whose liability is reflected within separate account liabilities. Separate account liabilities are set equal to the estimated fair value of separate account assets. The following describes the valuation methodologies used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. The description includes the valuation techniques and key inputs for each category of assets or liabilities that are classified within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Investments Valuation Controls and Procedures On behalf of the Company and MetLife, Inc.'s Chief Investment Officer and Chief Financial Officer, a pricing and valuation committee that is independent of the trading and investing functions and comprised of senior management, provides oversight of control systems and valuation policies for securities, mortgage loans and derivatives. On a quarterly basis, this committee reviews and approves new transaction types and markets, ensures that observable market prices and market-based parameters are used for valuation, wherever possible, and determines that judgmental valuation adjustments, when applied, are based upon established policies and are applied consistently over time. This committee also provides oversight of the selection of independent third party pricing providers and the controls and procedures to evaluate third party pricing. Periodically, the Chief Accounting Officer reports to MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut's Audit Committee regarding compliance with fair value accounting standards. The Company reviews its valuation methodologies on an ongoing basis and revises those methodologies when necessary based on changing market conditions. Assurance is gained on the overall reasonableness and consistent application of input assumptions, valuation methodologies and compliance with fair value accounting standards through controls designed to ensure valuations represent an exit price. Several controls are utilized, including certain monthly controls, which include, but are not limited to, analysis of portfolio returns to corresponding benchmark returns, comparing a sample of executed prices of securities sold to the fair value estimates, comparing fair value estimates to management's knowledge of the current market, reviewing the bid/ask spreads to assess activity, comparing prices from multiple independent pricing services and ongoing due diligence to confirm that independent pricing services use market-based parameters. The process includes a determination of the observability of inputs used in estimated fair values received from independent pricing services or brokers by assessing whether these inputs can be corroborated by observable market data. The Company ensures that prices received from independent brokers, also referred to herein as "consensus pricing," represent a reasonable estimate of fair value by considering such pricing relative to the Company's knowledge of the current market dynamics and current pricing for similar financial instruments. While independent non-binding broker quotations are utilized, they are not used for a significant portion of the portfolio. For example, fixed maturity securities priced using independent non-binding broker quotations represent less than 1% of the total estimated fair value of fixed maturity securities and 9% of the total estimated fair value of Level 3 fixed maturity securities. The Company also applies a formal process to challenge any prices received from independent pricing services that are not considered representative of estimated fair value. If prices received from independent pricing services are not considered reflective of market activity or representative of estimated fair value, 73

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 7. Fair Value (continued) independent non-binding broker quotations are obtained, or an internally developed valuation is prepared. Internally developed valuations of current estimated fair value, which reflect internal estimates of liquidity and nonperformance risks, compared with pricing received from the independent pricing services, did not produce material differences in the estimated fair values for the majority of the portfolio; accordingly, overrides were not material. This is, in part, because internal estimates of liquidity and nonperformance risks are generally based on available market evidence and estimates used by other market participants. In the absence of such market-based evidence, management's best estimate is used. Securities and Short-term Investments When available, the estimated fair value of these financial instruments is based on quoted prices in active markets that are readily and regularly obtainable. Generally, these are the most liquid of the Company's securities holdings and valuation of these securities does not involve management's judgment. When quoted prices in active markets are not available, the determination of estimated fair value is based on market standard valuation methodologies, giving priority to observable inputs. The significant inputs to the market standard valuation methodologies for certain types of securities with reasonable levels of price transparency are inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. When observable inputs are not available, the market standard valuation methodologies rely on inputs that are significant to the estimated fair value that are not observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. These unobservable inputs can be based in large part on management's judgment or estimation and cannot be supported by reference to market activity. Even though these inputs are unobservable, management believes they are consistent with what other market participants would use when pricing such securities and are considered appropriate given the circumstances. Level 2 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs: This level includes securities priced principally by independent pricing services using observable inputs. Short-term investments within this level are of a similar nature and class to the Level 2 fixed maturity securities and equity securities. U.S. corporate and foreign corporate securities These securities are principally valued using the market and income approaches. Valuations are based primarily on quoted prices in markets that are not active, or using matrix pricing or other similar techniques that use standard market observable inputs such as benchmark yields, spreads off benchmark yields, new issuances, issuer rating, duration, and trades of identical or comparable securities. Privately-placed securities are valued using matrix pricing methodologies using standard market observable inputs, and inputs derived from, or corroborated by, market observable data including market yield curve, duration, call provisions, observable prices and spreads for similar publicly traded or privately traded issues that incorporate the credit quality and industry sector of the issuer, and in certain cases, delta spread adjustments to reflect specific credit-related issues. 74

Fair Value (continued) U.S. Treasury and agency securities These securities are principally valued using the market approach. Valuations are based primarily on quoted prices in markets that are not active, or using matrix pricing or other similar techniques using standard market observable inputs such as a benchmark U.S. Treasury yield curve, the spread off the U.S. Treasury yield curve for the identical security and comparable securities that are actively traded. Structured securities comprised of RMBS, ABS and CMBS These securities are principally valued using the market and income approaches. Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing, discounted cash flow methodologies or other similar techniques using standard market inputs, including spreads for actively traded securities, spreads off benchmark yields, expected prepayment speeds and volumes, current and forecasted loss severity, rating, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, average delinquency rates, geographic region, debt-service coverage ratios and issuance-specific information, including, but not limited to: collateral type, payment terms of the underlying assets, payment priority within the tranche, structure of the security, deal performance and vintage of loans. State and political subdivision and foreign government securities These securities are principally valued using the market approach. Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing or other similar techniques using standard market observable inputs, including a benchmark U.S. Treasury yield or other yields, issuer ratings, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads and reported trades of similar securities, including those within the same sub-sector or with a similar maturity or credit rating. Non-redeemable preferred and common stock These securities are principally valued using the market approach. Valuations are based principally on observable inputs including quoted prices in markets that are not considered active. Level 3 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs: In general, securities classified within Level 3 use many of the same valuation techniques and inputs as described previously for Level 2. However, if key inputs are unobservable, or if the investments are less liquid and there is very limited trading activity, the investments are generally classified as Level 3. The use of independent non-binding broker quotations to value investments generally indicates there is a lack of liquidity or a lack of transparency in the process to develop the valuation estimates, generally causing these investments to be classified in Level 3. U.S. corporate and foreign corporate securities These securities, including financial services industry hybrid securities classified within fixed maturity securities, are principally valued using the market approach. Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing or other similar techniques that utilize unobservable inputs or inputs that cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data, including illiquidity premium, delta spread 75

Certain valuations are based on matrix pricing that utilize inputs that are unobservable or cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data, including credit spreads. Non-redeemable preferred stock These securities, including privately-held securities and financial services industry hybrid securities classified within equity securities, are principally valued using the market and income approaches. Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing, discounted cash flow methodologies or other similar techniques using inputs such as comparable credit rating and issuance structure. Certain of these securities are valued based on inputs including quoted prices for identical or similar securities that are less liquid and based on lower levels of trading activity than securities classified in Level 2 and independent non-binding broker quotations. Separate Account Assets Separate account assets are carried at estimated fair value and reported as a summarized total on the consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair value of separate account assets is based on the estimated fair value of the underlying assets. Separate account assets include: mutual funds, fixed maturity securities, equity securities, derivatives, short-term investments and cash and cash equivalents. Level 2 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs: These assets are comprised of investments that are similar in nature to the instruments described under "-- Securities and Short-term Investments." Also included are certain mutual funds without readily determinable fair values, as prices are not published publicly. Valuation of the mutual funds is based upon quoted prices or reported NAV provided by the fund managers. 76

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 7. Fair Value (continued) Derivatives The estimated fair value of derivatives is determined through the use of quoted market prices for exchange-traded derivatives or through the use of pricing models for OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives. The determination of estimated fair value, when quoted market values are not available, is based on market standard valuation methodologies and inputs that management believes are consistent with what other market participants would use when pricing such instruments. Derivative valuations can be affected by changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, financial indices, credit spreads, default risk, nonperformance risk, volatility, liquidity and changes in estimates and assumptions used in the pricing models. The valuation controls and procedures for derivatives are described in "-- Investments." The significant inputs to the pricing models for most OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives are inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Significant inputs that are observable generally include: interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rate curves, credit curves and volatility. However, certain OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives may rely on inputs that are significant to the estimated fair value that are not observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Significant inputs that are unobservable generally include references to emerging market currencies and inputs that are outside the observable portion of the interest rate curve, credit curve, volatility or other relevant market measure. These unobservable inputs may involve significant management judgment or estimation. Even though unobservable, these inputs are based on assumptions deemed appropriate given the circumstances and management believes they are consistent with what other market participants would use when pricing such instruments. Most inputs for OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives are mid-market inputs but, in certain cases, liquidity adjustments are made when they are deemed more representative of exit value. Market liquidity, as well as the use of different methodologies, assumptions and inputs, may have a material effect on the estimated fair values of the Company's derivatives and could materially affect net income. The credit risk of both the counterparty and the Company are considered in determining the estimated fair value for all OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives, and any potential credit adjustment is based on the net exposure by counterparty after taking into account the effects of netting agreements and collateral arrangements. The Company values its OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives using standard swap curves which may include a spread to the risk free rate, depending upon specific collateral arrangements. This credit spread is appropriate for those parties that execute trades at pricing levels consistent with similar collateral arrangements. As the Company and its significant derivative counterparties generally execute trades at such pricing levels and hold sufficient collateral, additional credit risk adjustments are not currently required in the valuation process. The Company's ability to consistently execute at such pricing levels is in part due to the netting agreements and collateral arrangements that are in place with all of its significant derivative counterparties. An evaluation of the requirement to make additional credit risk adjustments is performed by the Company each reporting period. 77

Level 3 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs: These derivatives are principally valued using the income approach. Valuations of non-option-based derivatives utilize present value techniques, whereas valuations of option-based derivatives utilize option pricing models. These valuation methodologies generally use the same inputs as described in the corresponding sections above for Level 2 measurements of derivatives. However, these derivatives result in Level 3 classification because one or more of the significant inputs are not observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Interest rate Non-option-based. Significant unobservable inputs may include the extrapolation beyond observable limits of the swap yield curve and basis curves. Credit Non-option-based.

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 7. Fair Value (continued) Embedded Derivatives Embedded derivatives principally include certain direct and ceded variable annuity guarantees and embedded derivatives related to funds withheld on ceded reinsurance. Embedded derivatives are recorded at estimated fair value with changes in estimated fair value reported in net income. The Company issues certain variable annuity products with guaranteed minimum benefits. GMWBs, GMABs and certain GMIBs contain embedded derivatives, which are measured at estimated fair value separately from the host variable annuity contract, with changes in estimated fair value reported in net derivative gains (losses). These embedded derivatives are classified within PABs in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of these embedded derivatives, estimated as the present value of projected future benefits minus the present value of projected future fees using actuarial and capital market assumptions including expectations concerning policyholder behavior, is calculated by the Company's actuarial department. The calculation is based on in-force business, and is performed using standard actuarial valuation software which projects future cash flows from the embedded derivative over multiple risk neutral stochastic scenarios using observable risk free rates. Capital market assumptions, such as risk free rates and implied volatilities, are based on market prices for publicly traded instruments to the extent that prices for such instruments are observable. Implied volatilities beyond the observable period are extrapolated based on observable implied volatilities and historical volatilities. Actuarial assumptions, including mortality, lapse, withdrawal and utilization, are unobservable and are reviewed at least annually based on actuarial studies of historical experience. The valuation of these guarantee liabilities includes nonperformance risk adjustments and adjustments for a risk margin related to non-capital market inputs. The nonperformance adjustment is determined by taking into consideration publicly available information relating to spreads in the secondary market for MetLife's debt, including related credit default swaps. These observable spreads are then adjusted, as necessary, to reflect the priority of these liabilities and the claims paying ability of the issuing insurance subsidiaries compared to MetLife. Risk margins are established to capture the non-capital market risks of the instrument which represent the additional compensation a market participant would require to assume the risks related to the uncertainties of such actuarial assumptions as annuitization, premium persistency, partial withdrawal and surrenders. The establishment of risk margins requires the use of significant management judgment, including assumptions of the amount and cost of capital needed to cover the guarantees. These guarantees may be more costly than expected in volatile or declining equity markets. Market conditions including, but not limited to, changes in interest rates, equity indices, market volatility and foreign currency exchange rates; changes in nonperformance risk; and variations in actuarial assumptions regarding policyholder behavior, mortality and risk margins related to non-capital market inputs, may result in significant fluctuations in the estimated fair value of the guarantees that could materially affect net income. The Company ceded, to an affiliated reinsurance company, the risk associated with certain of the GMIBs, GMABs and GMWBs described above that are also accounted for as embedded derivatives. In addition to ceding risks associated with guarantees that are accounted for as embedded derivatives, the Company also 79

Fair Value (continued) cedes, to the same affiliated reinsurance company, certain directly written GMIBs that are accounted for as insurance (i.e., not as embedded derivatives), but where the reinsurance agreement contains an embedded derivative. These embedded derivatives are included within premiums, reinsurance and other receivables in the consolidated balance sheets with changes in estimated fair value reported in net derivative gains (losses). The value of the embedded derivatives on the ceded risk is determined using a methodology consistent with that described previously for the guarantees directly written by the Company with the exception of the input for nonperformance risk that reflects the credit of the reinsurer. The estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives within funds withheld related to certain ceded reinsurance is determined based on the change in estimated fair value of the underlying assets held by the Company in a reference portfolio backing the funds withheld liability. The estimated fair value of the underlying assets is determined as previously described in "-- Investments -- Securities and Short-term Investments." The estimated fair value of these embedded derivatives is included, along with their funds withheld hosts, in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets with changes in estimated fair value recorded in net derivative gains (losses). Changes in the credit spreads on the underlying assets, interest rates and market volatility may result in significant fluctuations in the estimated fair value of these embedded derivatives that could materially affect net income. Embedded Derivatives Within Asset and Liability Host Contracts Level 3 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs: Direct guaranteed minimum benefits These embedded derivatives are principally valued using the income approach. Valuations are based on option pricing techniques, which utilize significant inputs that may include swap yield curve, currency exchange rates and implied volatilities. These embedded derivatives result in Level 3 classification because one or more of the significant inputs are not observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Significant unobservable inputs generally include: the extrapolation beyond observable limits of the swap yield curve and implied volatilities, actuarial assumptions for policyholder behavior and mortality and the potential variability in policyholder behavior and mortality, nonperformance risk and cost of capital for purposes of calculating the risk margin. Reinsurance ceded on certain guaranteed minimum benefits These embedded derivatives are principally valued using the income approach. The valuation techniques and significant market standard unobservable inputs used in their valuation are similar to those described above in "-- Direct Guaranteed Minimum Benefits" and also include counterparty credit spreads. Transfers between Levels Overall, transfers between levels occur when there are changes in the observability of inputs and market activity. Transfers into or out of any level are assumed to occur at the beginning of the period. 80

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 7. Fair Value (continued) Transfers between Levels 1 and 2: There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 for assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value and still held at December 31, 2013 and 2012. Transfers into or out of Level 3: Assets and liabilities are transferred into Level 3 when a significant input cannot be corroborated with market observable data. This occurs when market activity decreases significantly and underlying inputs cannot be observed, current prices are not available, and/or when there are significant variances in quoted prices, thereby affecting transparency. Assets and liabilities are transferred out of Level 3 when circumstances change such that a significant input can be corroborated with market observable data. This may be due to a significant increase in market activity, a specific event, or one or more significant input(s) becoming observable. Transfers into Level 3 for fixed maturity securities were due primarily to a lack of trading activity, decreased liquidity and credit ratings downgrades (e.g., from investment grade to below investment grade) which have resulted in decreased transparency of valuations and an increased use of independent non-binding broker quotations and unobservable inputs, such as illiquidity premiums, delta spread adjustments, or credit spreads. Transfers out of Level 3 for fixed maturity securities resulted primarily from increased transparency of both new issuances that, subsequent to issuance and establishment of trading activity, became priced by independent pricing services and existing issuances that, over time, the Company was able to obtain pricing from, or corroborate pricing received from, independent pricing services with observable inputs (such as observable spreads used in pricing securities) or increases in market activity and upgraded credit ratings. 81

Fair Value (continued) (3)Significant increases (decreases) in expected default rates in isolation would result in substantially lower (higher) valuations. (4)Range and weighted average are presented in basis points. (5)Range and weighted average are presented in accordance with the market convention for fixed maturity securities of dollars per hundred dollars of par. (6)Changes in the assumptions used for the probability of default is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumptions used for prepayment rates. (7)Ranges represent the rates across different yield curves and are presented in basis points. The swap yield curve is utilized among different types of derivatives to project cash flows, as well as to discount future cash flows to present value. Since this valuation methodology uses a range of inputs across a yield curve to value the derivative, presenting a range is more representative of the unobservable input used in the valuation. (8)Represents the risk quoted in basis points of a credit default event on the underlying instrument. The range being provided is a single quoted spread in the valuation model. Credit derivatives with significant unobservable inputs are primarily comprised of written credit default swaps. (9)Changes are based on long U.S. dollar net asset positions and will be inversely impacted for short U.S. dollar net asset positions. (10)Mortality rates vary by age and by demographic characteristics such as gender. Mortality rate assumptions are based on company experience. A mortality improvement assumption is also applied. For any given contract, mortality rates vary throughout the period over which cash flows are projected for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative. (11)Base lapse rates are adjusted at the contract level based on a comparison of the actuarially calculated guaranteed values and the current policyholder account value, as well as other factors, such as the applicability of any surrender charges. A dynamic lapse function reduces the base lapse rate when the guaranteed amount is greater than the account value as in the money contracts are less likely to lapse. Lapse rates are also generally assumed to be lower in periods when a surrender charge applies. For any given contract, lapse rates vary throughout the period over which cash flows are projected for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative. (12)The utilization rate assumption estimates the percentage of contract holders with a GMIB or lifetime withdrawal benefit who will elect to utilize the benefit upon becoming eligible. The rates may vary by the type of guarantee, the amount by which the guaranteed amount is greater than the account value, the contract's withdrawal history and by the age of the policyholder. For any given contract, utilization rates vary throughout the period over which cash flows are projected for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative. (13)The withdrawal rate represents the percentage of account balance that any given policyholder will elect to withdraw from the contract each year. The withdrawal rate assumption varies by age and duration of the contract, and also by other factors such as benefit type. For any given contract, withdrawal rates vary throughout the period over which cash flows are projected for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative. For GMWBs, any increase (decrease) in withdrawal rates results in an increase (decrease) in the estimated fair value of the guarantees. For GMABs and GMIBs, any increase (decrease) in withdrawal rates results in a decrease (increase) in the estimated fair value. 83

For any given contract, long-term equity volatility rates vary throughout the period over which cash flows are projected for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative. (15)Nonperformance risk spread varies by duration and by currency. For any given contract, multiple nonperformance risk spreads will apply, depending on the duration of the cash flow being discounted for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative. The following is a summary of the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities classified within Level 3 that are not included in the preceding table. Generally, all other classes of securities classified within Level 3, including those within separate account assets and embedded derivatives within funds withheld related to certain ceded reinsurance, use the same valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs as previously described for Level 3 securities. This includes matrix pricing and discounted cash flow methodologies, inputs such as quoted prices for identical or similar securities that are less liquid and based on lower levels of trading activity than securities classified in Level 2, as well as independent non-binding broker quotations. The sensitivity of the estimated fair value to changes in the significant unobservable inputs for these other assets and liabilities is similar in nature to that described in the preceding table. The valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement for the more significant assets measured at estimated fair value on a nonrecurring basis and determined using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) are summarized in "-- Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements." 84

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 7. Fair Value (continued) Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carried at Other Than Fair Value The following tables provide fair value information for financial instruments that are carried on the balance sheet at amounts other than fair value. These tables exclude the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, accrued investment income, payables for collateral under securities loaned and other transactions and those short-term investments that are not securities, such as time deposits, and therefore are not included in the three level hierarchy table disclosed in the "-- Recurring Fair Value Measurements" section. The estimated fair value of the excluded financial instruments, which are primarily classified in Level 2 and, to a lesser extent, in Level 1, approximates carrying value as they are short-term in nature such that the Company believes there is minimal risk of material changes in interest rates or credit quality. All remaining balance sheet amounts excluded from the table below are not considered financial instruments subject to this disclosure. The carrying values and estimated fair values for such financial instruments, and their corresponding placement in the fair value hierarchy, are summarized as follows at: [Enlarge/Download Table] December 31, 2013 -------------------------------------------------- Fair Value Hierarchy ----------------------------- Total Carrying Estimated Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value -------- --------- --------- --------- ----------- (In millions) Assets Mortgage loans.............................. $ 1,826 $ -- $ -- $ 1,940 $ 1,940 Policy loans................................ $ 151 $ -- $ 114 $ 39 $ 153 Real estate joint ventures.................. $ 8 $ -- $ -- $ 10 $ 10 Other limited partnership interests......... $ 11 $ -- $ -- $ 13 $ 13 Other invested assets....................... $ 250 $ -- $ 270 $ -- $ 270 Premiums, reinsurance and other receivables. $ 5,337 $ -- $ -- $ 5,744 $ 5,744 Liabilities PABs........................................ $ 6,203 $ -- $ -- $ 6,576 $ 6,576 Long-term debt.............................. $ 40 $ -- $ 46 $ -- $ 46 Other liabilities........................... $ 191 $ -- $ 30 $ 161 $ 191 Separate account liabilities................ $ 1,196 $ -- $ 1,196 $ -- $ 1,196 [Enlarge/Download Table] December 31, 2012 -------------------------------------------------- Fair Value Hierarchy ----------------------------- Total Carrying Estimated Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value -------- --------- --------- --------- ----------- (In millions) Assets Mortgage loans.............................. $ 1,678 $ -- $ -- $ 1,855 $ 1,855 Policy loans................................ $ 130 $ -- $ 95 $ 38 $ 133 Real estate joint ventures.................. $ 7 $ -- $ -- $ 9 $ 9 Other limited partnership interests......... $ 12 $ -- $ -- $ 13 $ 13 Other invested assets....................... $ 126 $ -- $ 161 $ -- $ 161 Premiums, reinsurance and other receivables. $ 5,387 $ -- $ 2 $ 6,195 $ 6,197 Liabilities PABs........................................ $ 7,497 $ -- $ -- $ 8,237 $ 8,237 Long-term debt.............................. $ 41 $ -- $ 41 $ -- $ 41 Other liabilities........................... $ 169 $ -- $ 13 $ 156 $ 169 Separate account liabilities................ $ 1,030 $ -- $ 1,030 $ -- $ 1,030 91

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 7. Fair Value (continued) The methods, assumptions and significant valuation techniques and inputs used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are summarized as follows: Mortgage Loans For mortgage loans, estimated fair value is primarily determined by estimating expected future cash flows and discounting them using current interest rates for similar mortgage loans with similar credit risk, or is determined from pricing for similar loans. Policy Loans Policy loans with fixed interest rates are classified within Level 3. The estimated fair values for these loans are determined using a discounted cash flow model applied to groups of similar policy loans determined by the nature of the underlying insurance liabilities. Cash flow estimates are developed by applying a weighted-average interest rate to the outstanding principal balance of the respective group of policy loans and an estimated average maturity determined through experience studies of the past performance of policyholder repayment behavior for similar loans. These cash flows are discounted using current risk-free interest rates with no adjustment for borrower credit risk as these loans are fully collateralized by the cash surrender value of the underlying insurance policy. Policy loans with variable interest rates are classified within Level 2 and the estimated fair value approximates carrying value due to the absence of borrower credit risk and the short time period between interest rate resets, which presents minimal risk of a material change in estimated fair value due to changes in market interest rates. Real Estate Joint Ventures and Other Limited Partnership Interests The estimated fair values of these cost method investments are generally based on the Company's share of the NAV as provided in the financial statements of the investees. In certain circumstances, management may adjust the NAV by a premium or discount when it has sufficient evidence to support applying such adjustments. Other Invested Assets These other invested assets are principally comprised of loans to affiliates. The estimated fair value of loans to affiliates is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using market interest rates currently available for instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities. Premiums, Reinsurance and Other Receivables Premiums, reinsurance and other receivables are principally comprised of certain amounts recoverable under reinsurance agreements, which the Company has determined do not transfer significant risk such that they are accounted for using the deposit method of accounting, have been classified as Level 3. The valuation is based on discounted cash flow methodologies using significant unobservable inputs. The estimated fair value is determined using interest rates determined to reflect the appropriate credit standing of the assuming counterparty. 92

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 7. Fair Value (continued) PABs These PABs include investment contracts. Embedded derivatives on investment contracts and certain variable annuity guarantees accounted for as embedded derivatives are excluded from this caption in the preceding tables as they are separately presented in "-- Recurring Fair Value Measurements." The investment contracts primarily include fixed deferred annuities, fixed term payout annuities and total control accounts. The valuation of these investment contracts is based on discounted cash flow methodologies using significant unobservable inputs. The estimated fair value is determined using current market risk-free interest rates adding a spread to reflect the nonperformance risk in the liability. Long-term Debt The Company evaluates the specific terms, facts and circumstances of long-term debt to determine the appropriate estimated fair values, which are not materially different from the carrying values. Other Liabilities Other liabilities consist primarily of amounts due for securities purchased but not yet settled and funds withheld amounts payable, which are contractually withheld by the Company in accordance with the terms of the reinsurance agreements. The Company evaluates the specific terms, facts and circumstances of each instrument to determine the appropriate estimated fair values, which are not materially different from the carrying values. Separate Account Liabilities Separate account liabilities represent those balances due to policyholders under contracts that are classified as investment contracts. Separate account liabilities classified as investment contracts primarily represent variable annuities with no significant mortality risk to the Company such that the death benefit is equal to the account balance and certain contracts that provide for benefit funding. Since separate account liabilities are fully funded by cash flows from the separate account assets which are recognized at estimated fair value as described in the section "-- Recurring Fair Value Measurements," the value of those assets approximates the estimated fair value of the related separate account liabilities. The valuation techniques and inputs for separate account liabilities are similar to those described for separate account assets. 8. Long-term Debt The Company's long-term debt includes senior notes, issued to a third party, maturing in 2030 with a fixed interest rate of 7.03%. Principal and interest on the notes is paid quarterly. The outstanding balance of the notes was $40 million and $41 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The aggregate maturities of long-term debt at December 31, 2013 are $1 million in each of 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017, $2 million in 2018 and $34 million thereafter. 93

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 8. Long-term Debt (continued) Interest expense related to the Company's indebtedness included in other expenses was $3 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. 9. Equity Statutory Equity and Income Each U.S. insurance company's state of domicile imposes risk-based capital ("RBC") requirements that were developed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC"). Regulatory compliance is determined by a ratio of a company's total adjusted capital, calculated in the manner prescribed by the NAIC ("TAC") to its authorized control level RBC, calculated in the manner prescribed by the NAIC ("ACL RBC"). Companies below specific trigger points or ratios are classified within certain levels, each of which requires specified corrective action. The minimum level of TAC before corrective action commences is twice ACL RBC. The RBC ratio for MLI-USA was in excess of 600% for all periods presented. MLI-USA prepares statutory-basis financial statements in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the insurance department of the state of domicile. The NAIC has adopted the Codification of Statutory Accounting Principles ("Statutory Codification"). Statutory Codification is intended to standardize regulatory accounting and reporting to state insurance departments. However, statutory accounting principles continue to be established by individual state laws and permitted practices. Modifications by state insurance departments may impact the effect of Statutory Codification on the statutory capital and surplus of MLI-USA. Statutory accounting principles differ from GAAP primarily by charging policy acquisition costs to expense as incurred, establishing future policy benefit liabilities using different actuarial assumptions, reporting of reinsurance agreements and valuing securities on a different basis. In addition, certain assets are not admitted under statutory accounting principles and are charged directly to surplus. The most significant assets not admitted by MLI-USA are net deferred income tax assets resulting from temporary differences between statutory accounting principles basis and tax basis not expected to reverse and become recoverable within three years. Statutory net income (loss) of MLI-USA, a Delaware domiciled insurer, was $209 million, $84 million and $178 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Statutory capital and surplus was $1.9 billion and $1.7 billion at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. All such amounts are derived from the statutory-basis financial statements as filed with the Delaware Department of Insurance. Dividend Restrictions Under Delaware State Insurance Law, MLI-USA is permitted, without prior insurance regulatory clearance, to pay a stockholder dividend to MICC as long as the amount of the dividend when aggregated with all other dividends in the preceding 12 months does not exceed the greater of: (i) 10% of its surplus to policyholders as of the end of the immediately preceding calendar year; or (ii) its net statutory gain from operations for the immediately preceding calendar year (excluding realized capital gains). MLI-USA will be permitted to pay a dividend to MICC in excess of the greater of such two amounts only if it files notice of the declaration of such a dividend and the amount thereof with the Delaware Commissioner of Insurance (the "Delaware Commissioner") and the Delaware Commissioner either approves the distribution of the dividend or does not disapprove the distribution within 30 days of its filing. In addition, any dividend that exceeds earned surplus (defined as 94

Equity (continued) "unassigned funds (surplus)") as of the immediately preceding calendar year requires insurance regulatory approval. Under Delaware State Insurance Law, the Delaware Commissioner has broad discretion in determining whether the financial condition of a stock life insurance company would support the payment of such dividends to its stockholders. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, MLI-USA did not pay dividends to MICC. Because MLI-USA's statutory unassigned funds (surplus) were negative at December 31, 2013, MLI-USA cannot pay any dividends in 2014 without prior regulatory approval.

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 11. Income Tax (continued) Tax credit carryforwards of $84 million at December 31, 2013 will expire beginning in 2017. The Company participates in a tax sharing agreement with MetLife, as described in Note 1. Pursuant to this tax sharing agreement, the amounts due from affiliates included $105 million, $138 million and $92 million at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company files income tax returns with the U.S. federal government and various state and local jurisdictions. The Company is under continuous examination by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and other tax authorities in jurisdictions in which the Company has significant business operations. The income tax years under examination vary by jurisdiction. With a few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations in major taxing jurisdictions for years prior to 2003. The IRS audit cycle for the years January 1, 2003 through October 11, 2006, which began in April 2010, is expected to conclude in 2014. In 2012, the Company and the IRS completed and substantially settled the audit period October 12, 2006 through December 31, 2006. One issue not settled is under review at the IRS Appeals Division. It is not expected that there will be a material change in the Company's liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits was as follows: [Enlarge/Download Table] Year Ended December 31, 2013 ---------------------------- (In millions) Balance at January 1,......................................................... $ -- Additions for tax positions of prior years.................................... 14 Reductions for tax positions of prior years...................................

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 11. Income Tax (continued) There was no interest recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. There was no interest included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2012. The Company had no penalties for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. The U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS have indicated that they intend to address through regulations the methodology to be followed in determining the dividends received deduction ("DRD"), related to variable life insurance and annuity contracts. The DRD reduces the amount of dividend income subject to tax and is a significant component of the difference between the actual tax expense and expected amount determined using the federal statutory tax rate of 35%. Any regulations that the IRS ultimately proposes for issuance in this area will be subject to public notice and comment, at which time insurance companies and other interested parties will have the opportunity to raise legal and practical questions about the content, scope and application of such regulations. As a result, the ultimate timing and substance of any such regulations are unknown at this time. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $70 million and $52 million, respectively, related to the separate account DRD. The 2013 benefit included a benefit of $11 million related to a true-up of the 2012 tax return. The 2012 benefit included a benefit of $4 million related to a true-up of the 2011 tax return. 12. Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees Contingencies Litigation Unclaimed Property Inquiries In April 2012, MetLife, for itself and on behalf of entities including MLI-USA, reached agreements with representatives of the U.S. jurisdictions that were conducting audits of MetLife and certain of its affiliates for compliance with unclaimed property laws, and with state insurance regulators directly involved in a multistate targeted market conduct examination relating to claim-payment practices and compliance with unclaimed property laws. On November 14, 2012, the West Virginia Treasurer filed an action against MLI-USA, alleging that MLI-USA violated the West Virginia Uniform Unclaimed Property Act, seeking to compel compliance with the Act, and seeking payment of unclaimed property, interest, and penalties West Virginia ex rel. John D. Perdue v. MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company, Circuit Court of Putnam County, Civil Action No. 12-C-363). On December 30, 2013, the court granted defendants' motion to dismiss the West Virginia Treasurer's action. The Treasurer has filed a notice to appeal the dismissal order. At least one other jurisdiction is pursuing a similar market conduct examination. It is possible that other jurisdictions may pursue similar examinations, audits, or lawsuits and that such actions may result in additional payments to beneficiaries, additional escheatment of funds deemed abandoned under state laws, administrative penalties, interest, and/or further changes to the Company's procedures. The Company is not currently able to estimate these additional possible costs. 100

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 12. Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees (continued) Sales Practices Claims Over the past several years, the Company has faced claims and regulatory inquiries and investigations, alleging improper marketing or sales of individual life insurance policies, annuities, mutual funds or other products. The Company continues to vigorously defend against the claims in these matters. The Company believes adequate provision has been made in its consolidated financial statements for all probable and reasonably estimable losses for sales practices matters. Summary Various litigation, claims and assessments against the Company, in addition to those discussed previously and those otherwise provided for in the Company's consolidated financial statements, have arisen in the course of the Company's business, including, but not limited to, in connection with its activities as an insurer, employer, investor, investment advisor, and taxpayer. Further, state insurance regulatory authorities and other federal and state authorities regularly make inquiries and conduct investigations concerning the Company's compliance with applicable insurance and other laws and regulations. It is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of all pending investigations and legal proceedings. In some of the matters, very large and/or indeterminate amounts, including punitive and treble damages, are sought. Although, in light of these considerations it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain cases could have a material effect upon the Company's financial position, based on information currently known by the Company's management, in its opinion, the outcomes of such pending investigations and legal proceedings are not likely to have such an effect. However, given the large and/or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these matters and the inherent unpredictability of litigation, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material effect on the Company's consolidated net income or cash flows in particular annual periods. Insolvency Assessments Most of the jurisdictions in which the Company is admitted to transact business require insurers doing business within the jurisdiction to participate in guaranty associations, which are organized to pay contractual benefits owed pursuant to insurance policies issued by impaired, insolvent or failed insurers. These associations levy assessments, up to prescribed limits, on all member insurers in a particular state on the basis of the proportionate share of the premiums written by member insurers in the lines of business in which the impaired, insolvent or failed insurer engaged. Some states permit member insurers to recover assessments paid through full or partial premium tax offsets. 101

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 12.

The amounts of these unfunded commitments were $483 million and $446 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company anticipates that these amounts will be invested in partnerships over the next five years. Mortgage Loan Commitments The Company commits to lend funds under mortgage loan commitments. The amounts of these mortgage loan commitments were $61 million and $59 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Commitments to Fund Private Corporate Bond Investments The Company commits to lend funds under private corporate bond investments. The amounts of these unfunded commitments were $38 million and $72 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Guarantees In the normal course of its business, the Company has provided certain indemnities, guarantees and commitments to third parties such that it may be required to make payments now or in the future. In the context of acquisition, disposition, investment and other transactions, the Company has provided indemnities and guarantees, including those related to tax, environmental and other specific liabilities, and other indemnities and guarantees that are triggered by, among other things, breaches of representations, warranties or covenants provided by the Company. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Company provides indemnifications to counterparties in contracts with triggers similar to the foregoing, as well as for certain other liabilities, such as third-party lawsuits. These obligations are often subject to time limitations that vary in duration, including contractual limitations and those that arise by operation of law, such as applicable statutes of limitation. In some cases, the maximum potential obligation under the indemnities and guarantees is subject to a contractual limitation, while in other cases such limitations are not specified or applicable. Since certain of these obligations 102

MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 12. Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees (continued) are not subject to limitations, the Company does not believe that it is possible to determine the maximum potential amount that could become due under these guarantees in the future. Management believes that it is unlikely the Company will have to make any material payments under these indemnities, guarantees, or commitments. In addition, the Company indemnifies its directors and officers as provided in its charters and by-laws. Also, the Company indemnifies its agents for liabilities incurred as a result of their representation of the Company's interests. Since these indemnities are generally not subject to limitation with respect to duration or amount, the Company does not believe that it is possible to determine the maximum potential amount that could become due under these indemnities in the future. The Company had no liability for indemnities, guarantees and commitments at both December 31, 2013 and 2012. 13. Related Party Transactions Service Agreements The Company has entered into various agreements with affiliates for services necessary to conduct its activities. Typical services provided under these agreements include management, policy administrative functions, personnel, investment advice and distribution services. For certain agreements, charges are based on various performance measures or activity-based costing. The bases for such charges are modified and adjusted by management when necessary or appropriate to reflect fairly and equitably the actual incidence of cost incurred by the Company and/or affiliate. Expenses incurred with affiliates related to these agreements, recorded in other expenses, were $1.4 billion, $1.5 billion and $1.7 billion for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Revenues received from affiliates related to these agreements, recorded in universal life and investment-type product policy fees, were $182 million, $150 million and $115 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Revenues received from affiliates related to these agreements, recorded in other revenues, were $153 million, $133 million and $97 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company had net payables to affiliates, related to the items discussed above, of $235 million and $129 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. See Notes 4 and 5 for additional information on related party transactions. 14. Subsequent Event The Company has evaluated events subsequent to December 31, 2013, through April 8, 2014, which is the date these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, and has determined there are no material subsequent events requiring adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements. 103

ITEM 27. NUMBER OF CONTRACT OWNERS As of January 31, 2014, there were 415,286 owners of qualified contracts and 185,826 owners of non-qualified contracts offered by the Registrant (MetLife Investors USA Separate Account A). ITEM 28. INDEMNIFICATION The Depositor's parent, MetLife, Inc. has secured a Financial Institution 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 with limits of $400 million under which the Depositor and MetLife Investors Distribution Company, 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. A director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which would involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit. The foregoing sentence notwithstanding, if the Delaware General Corporation Law hereafter is amended to authorized further limitations of the liability of a director of a corporation, then a director of the corporation, in addition to the circumstances in which a director is not personally liable as set forth in the preceding sentence, shall be held free from liability to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law as so amended. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article 7 by the stockholders of the corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification. Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors and officers or controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
