Not a Short-Term
Investment
The Policy is designed to provide lifetime insurance protection. It
should not be used as a short-term investment or if you need ready
access to cash because you will be charged when you make Premium
payments. In addition, withdrawals may be subject to ordinary
income tax and tax penalties.
Principal Risks
Risks Associated with
Investment Options
An investment in this Policy is subject to the risk of poor investment
performance and can vary depending on the performance of the
Portfolios available under the Policy. Each investment option
(including any Fixed Account investment option) has its own unique
risks. You should review the investment options before making an
investment decision.

Risks
An investment in this Policy is subject to the risks related to
Metropolitan Life, including any obligations (including under any
Fixed Account investment option), guarantees, and benefits of the
Policy, including any death benefit, that are subject to the claims
paying ability of Metropolitan Life. If Metropolitan Life experiences

Principal Risks
Contract Lapse
Your Policy may lapse if you have paid an insufficient amount of
Premiums or if the investment experience of the Portfolios is poor,
you have taken partial withdrawals, and the Cash Surrender Value
under your Policy is insufficient to cover the monthly deduction.
Lapse of a Policy on which there is an outstanding loan may have
adverse tax consequences. If the Policy lapses, no death benefit will
be paid. A Policy may be reinstated if the conditions for
reinstatement are met including the payment of required Premiums.

GLOSSARY
Age - The age of an Insured refers to the Insured's age at his or her nearest birthday.
Attained Age - The Insured's Issue Age plus the number of completed Policy years.
Base Policy - The Policy without riders.
Beneficiary - The beneficiary is the person or persons designated by the Policy owner to receive insurance proceeds upon the death of the Insured. A beneficiary may be changed as set forth in the Policy and this Prospectus. Unless otherwise stated in the Policy, the beneficiary has no rights in the Policy before the death of the Insured. If there is more than one beneficiary at the death of the Insured, each will receive equal payments unless otherwise provided by the Policy owner.
Cash Surrender Value - The amount You receive if You surrender the Policy. It is equal to the Policy's Cash Value reduced by any outstanding Policy loan and accrued and unpaid interest.
Cash Value - A Policy's cash value includes the amount of its cash value held in the Separate Account, the amount held in the Fixed Account, and if there is an outstanding Policy loan, the amount of its cash value held in the Loan Account.
Date of Policy - The date on which coverage under the Policy and monthly deductions begin. If you make a Premium payment with the application, unless you request otherwise, the date of policy is generally the date the Policy application is approved. If you choose to pay the initial Premium upon delivery of the Policy, unless you request otherwise, the date of policy is generally the date on which we receive your initial payment. The date of policy is used to measure Policy years, Policy months, and Policy anniversaries.
Designated Office - Our Designated Office varies based on the type of service request or transaction that you are making. For the most recent Designated Office address, please call (877) 638-3932 or contact us at [email protected].
Division - A sub-account of the Separate Account that invests in shares of an open-ended management investment company or other pools of investment assets.
Fixed Account  - The fixed account is a part of our General Account to which you may allocate Net Premiums. It provides guarantees of principal and interest. Aspects of the fixed account are briefly summarized in order to give a better understanding of how the Policy functions.
Fund - An underlying mutual fund in which the Separate Account assets are invested.
General Account - The assets of Metropolitan Life other than those allocated to the Separate Account.
Indebtedness - The total of any unpaid Policy loan and loan interest.

Loan Account - The account to which Cash Value from the Separate and/or Fixed Accounts is transferred when a Policy loan is taken.
Monthly Anniversary - The same date in each month as the policy date. For purposes of the Separate Account, whenever the monthly anniversary date falls on a date other than a valuation date, the next valuation date will be deemed to be the monthly anniversary.
Net Premium - The net premium is equal to the Premium payment minus the sales charge, state tax charge and federal tax charge, administrative charges and any rider charges.
Planned Premium - The planned premium is the Premium payment schedule you choose to help meet your future goals under the Policy. The planned premium consists of a first-year Premium amount and an amount for Premium payments in subsequent Policy years. It is subject to certain limits under the Policy.
Portfolio - A portfolio represents a class (or series) of a Fund in which a Division's assets are invested.
Premiums - Premiums include all payments under the Policy, whether a Planned Premium or an unscheduled payment.
Separate Account - Metropolitan Life Separate Account UL, a separate account established by MetLife to receive and invest Premiums paid under the Policies and certain other variable life insurance policies, and to provide variable benefits.
Target Premium - We use the target premium to determine the amount of Mortality and Expense Risk Charge imposed on the Separate Account and the amount of sales charge imposed on Premium payments. The target premium varies by Issue Age, sex (except for unisex Policies), smoking status and any flat extras and substandard rating of the Insured, and the Policy's base face amount, with additional amounts for most riders.
You - "You" refers to the Policy owner.
