Article 4 — Vesting and Payment of Benefits

4.1 Company Contributions.

(a) In General. Except as provided in subsection (b), for each Plan Year, the Company shall contribute to this Plan, on behalf of each Participant, the amount of Company contributions equal to the amount of Company matching contributions that would have been made to the Savings and Investment Plan had the limitations of Sections 401(a)(17) and/or 415(c) of the Code not applied to the Participant’s account under the Savings and Investment Plan.

(b) Suspension for Savings and Investment Plan Withdrawals. Notwithstanding subsection (a), no Company Contributions shall be made for the six-month period beginning on the first day of the second month following the date that the Participant receives (1) a hardship withdrawal of his or her 401(k) contributions under the provisions of the Savings and Investment Plan or (2) a withdrawal of Company matching contributions under the provisions of the Savings and Investment Plan.

4.2. Vesting of Company Contributions. Company Contributions under this Plan shall vest in accordance with the vesting schedule applicable to Company matching contributions under the Savings and Investment Plan.

4.3 Elections and Tracking of Investment Performance. Subject to the Company’s consent, a Participant may make an election with respect to the investment allocation of future Company contributions as well as existing balances. Such allocation shall be pegged to the performance of one or more of the Core Funds under the Savings and Investment Plan (other than the NEF Frozen Accumulation Account). No investment allocation election shall represent an actual investment in any such fund, but shall merely reflect the performance of such fund. Thus, the Participant’s account balance under this Plan shall be adjusted for income, gains and losses in the same manner as if such Participant had directed the investment of his or her account balance among one or more of the aforementioned funds under the Savings and Investment Plan. The Participant’s ability to change the investment allocation of future contributions and existing balances shall be subject to the same rules and restrictions as apply under the Savings and Investment Plan; however, no Participant shall have the right to: (i) exercise voting, tender or exchange rights with respect to amounts treated as if they were invested in the MetLife Company Stock Fund or (ii) receive any distribution from the Plan in a form other than cash. If a Participant fails to specify the investment allocation of contributions to this Plan, then earnings, gains and/or losses on such contributions shall be determined using the returns from the Fixed Income Fund until changed by the Participant, Beneficiary or alternate payee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it will be within the discretion of the Company whether contributions are actually invested according to each Participant’s stated preferences.

4.4 Optional Modes of Payment Available.

(a) Modes of Payment Generally Available. The Participant may elect to receive a distribution of his or her vested account balance under this Plan in the following Modes of Payment:

(1) A single sum; or

(2) A specified number of annual installments (but not less than two nor more than fifteen).

The Participant’s Mode of Payment Election shall specify the number of full years over which his or her vested account balance shall be distributed to him or her. If the Participant inserts one, she or he will be deemed to have elected to receive a distribution of his or her vested account balance in the form of a single sum. If a Participant has failed to make a Mode of Payment Election, she or he will be deemed to have elected to receive a distribution of his or her vested account balance in the Default Mode of Payment. If the Participant has elected to receive his or her vested account balance in the form of annual installments, the first such installment shall be calculated by dividing his or her vested account balance by the number of installments elected. Each subsequent year’s installment shall be calculated by dividing the Participant’s vested account balance by the number of remaining installments (i.e., the number of installments contained in the Participant’s Mode of Payment Election, reduced by one for each year that has elapsed since the first year).

(b) Cash-out of a Participant’s Vested Account Balance. Notwithstanding any election that a Participant has made under Sections 4.6(b), 4.7(b) or 4.9(b) or was deemed to have made under Sections 4.6(a), 4.7(a) or 4.9(a), if such Participant’s vested account balance under this Plan does not exceed $20,000 as of the date of such Participant’s Termination of Employment, such Participant’s vested account balance will be distributed in a single sum as

soon as administratively practicable following his or her Termination of Employment (six months after the date of his or her Termination of Employment, with respect to a Participant who is a Specified Employee as of the date of his or her Termination of Employment).

(c) Minimum Distribution. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, a Participant who commenced minimum distributions of his or her vested account balance on or before December 31, 2007, will continue to have such distributions calculated as provided under the Savings and Investment Plan and paid to them in accordance with the existing schedule. For all other Participants, payment of the vested account balance under this Plan will not be affected by, or subject to, minimum distributions as described under section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the treasury regulations thereunder.

4.5. Deferral Periods Available under the Plan. The Participant may elect a Deferral Period equal to a specified number of years, in full one-year increments with the minimum equal to the Minimum Deferral Period and a maximum of ten years, except as otherwise provided in Sections 4.8(b) and 4.10(b). If a Participant has made one or more prior elections, whether under the provisions of the Plan as in effect prior to 2007, or in accordance with Section 4.6(b), 4.7(b), 4.8(b), 4.9(b) or 4.10(b), and the sum of the Deferral Period Elections under all of such prior elections, applied in the aggregate and the Minimum Deferral Period (that would apply if such Participant were able to make a new election) would exceed ten years from the Default Commencement Date, such Participant shall not be permitted to make any further elections under this Plan.

4.6. Participant’s Election of Time and Form of Benefit Distribution Prior to 2008.

(a) Distribution of Vested Account Balance if No Election in Force. Unless a Participant made an election under the provisions of this Plan as in effect prior to 2007, or makes an election in accordance with subsection (b) on or after January 1, 2007 and prior to January 1, 2008, a Participant will be deemed to have elected to receive his or her vested account balance in the Default Mode of Payment, payable as of the Default Commencement Date following the expiration of the Minimum Deferral Period.

Article 5 — Unfunded Plan

The Plan is completely unfunded, and payment of benefits is supported only by the general assets of each Company. This Plan is entirely separate from the Savings and Investment Plan and participation in this Plan gives a Participant no right to any funds or assets of the Savings and Investment Plan. The fact that contracts or certificates of the Company may be distributed to recipients of benefits under the Savings and Investment Plan in discharge of the Company’s obligations thereunder shall in no way entitle a Participant in this Plan to receive any such contract or certificate in discharge of the Company’s obligations hereunder.

Article 6 — Nontransferability of Participant’s Interest

Except for any payments to a person other than the Participant, to the extent of an election by such person which is reflected in, or made in accordance with the provisions of a domestic relations order, as defined in Code § 414(p)(1)(B), no Participant shall have any power or right to transfer, assign, mortgage, commute or otherwise encumber any of the benefits payable hereunder, nor shall such benefits be subject to seizure for the payment of any debts or judgments, or be transferable by operation of law in the event of bankruptcy, insolvency or otherwise.

Article 7 — Effect of Taxes

In making payments under this Plan, the Company shall withhold any Federal, state or local income or other taxes it determines that it is legally obligated to withhold. In the event the payments received by the Participant result in greater tax burdens (whether income, estate or other tax burdens) than they would if such payments had been able to be received under the Savings and Investment Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to reimburse the Participant for such greater tax burdens.

Article 8 — Administration of the Plan

8.1. Plan Administrator’s Interpretation Binding

The Plan Administrator is empowered to take all actions it deems appropriate in administering this Plan. In the event of a difference of opinion between a Participant or Beneficiary(ies) and the Plan Administrator with respect to the meaning or application of the provisions of the Plan, the Plan Administrator’s final interpretation shall be set forth in writing to the Participant and shall be binding and conclusive. However, once a Change of Control (as defined in Article 11) has occurred, this Article 8 shall no longer apply to differences of opinion between the Plan Administrator and a Participant regarding the application of Article 11 of this Plan to a Participant or with regard to any rights or benefits protected under Article 11 of this Plan or otherwise accrued prior to the Change of Control including the vesting thereof.

8.2. Claims and Review Procedure; Limitations of Time for Submitting Claims and Suits Challenging Denial of Claims.

(a) Claims and Review Procedure. Claims for benefits and appeals of denied claims under the Plan shall be administered in accordance with Section 503 of ERISA, the regulations thereunder (and any other law that amends, supplements or supersedes said Section of ERISA), and the procedures adopted by the Plan Administrator, or its delegate, as appropriate. The claims procedures referenced above are incorporated herein by reference. The Plan shall provide adequate notice to any claimant whose claim for benefits under the Plan has been denied, setting forth the reasons for such denial, and afford a reasonable opportunity to such claimant for a full and fair review by the Plan Administrator of the decision denying the claim. Benefits will be paid under the Plan only if the Plan Administrator, or its delegate, determines in its discretion that the applicant is entitled to them.

(b) Limitations of Time for Submitting Claims and Suits Challenging Denial of Claims. No suit to recover benefits under this Plan shall be brought more than six months following the expiration of the claims and review procedures described in subsection (a).

To the extent not inconsistent with Federal law, the validity of the Plan and its provisions shall be construed and governed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

Article 10 — Amendment and Termination of Plan

10.1 Amendment of the Plan. Except to the extent required by law, the Plan Administrator may amend this Plan at any time without the consent of any Participant or of any other person. However, any such amendment will not affect adversely the benefit entitlements of:

(b) Any employee who is a Participant in the Savings and Investment Plan to the extent of the account balance under this Plan prior to the time of such amendment. However, amendments may be made to all other aspects of this Plan including, but not limited to:

Notwithstanding the above, any amendment or group of amendments made effective on the same date, which would increase or decrease the annual cost of Plan benefits for active Plan Participants and former Plan Participants by ten million dollars or more in the aggregate, as determined in good faith by the Plan Administrator, shall take effect only after the action is authorized or ratified by the Board of Directors of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company.
