(c) Each Underwriter will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, AIG and the Selling Stockholder, the directors and officers of the Company who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company, AIG or the Selling Stockholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) to which the Company, AIG or the Selling Stockholder may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, Pricing Prospectus, the Registration Statement, or the Final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement (when considered together with the document to which such supplement relates) thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, Pricing Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Final Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through the

Representatives expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company, AIG or the Selling Stockholder, as the case may be, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company, AIG or the Selling Stockholder, as the case may be, in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under such subsection, to the extent the indemnifying party is actually materially prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party or any other indemnified party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless (i) the indemnifying party and such indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary, (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party or (iii) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and such indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying party be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified

parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same allegations or circumstances.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, other than due to the express provisions thereof, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and AIG and the Selling Stockholder on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the applicable Securities to which any such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof) relates. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and AIG and the Selling Stockholder on the one hand and the Underwriters of the applicable Securities on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and AIG and the Selling Stockholder on the one hand and such Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from such offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Stockholder bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Final Prospectus relating to the applicable Securities. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and AIG and the Selling Stockholder on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, AIG and the Selling Stockholder and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this subsection (e) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in

connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), (i) no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the applicable Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (ii) AIG and the Selling Stockholder shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which (A) the net proceeds received by the Selling Stockholder from the sale of Securities exceeds (B) the amount of any damages which AIG and the Selling Stockholder have otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the Underwriters of the applicable Securities in this subsection (e) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations with respect to such Securities and not joint.

(f) The obligations of the Company, AIG and the Selling Stockholder under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company, AIG and the Selling Stockholder may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act. The obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company (including any person who, with his consent, is named in the Registration Statement as about to become a director of the Company) and to each person, if any, who controls the Company, AIG or the Selling Stockholder within the meaning of the Act.

9. Defaulting Underwriters.

(a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the Securities which it has agreed to purchase under the Pricing Agreement relating to such Securities, the Representatives may in their discretion arrange for themselves or another party or other parties to purchase such Securities on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter the Representatives do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company and the Selling Stockholder (acting on its own or through AIG) shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to the Representatives to purchase such Securities on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed

periods, the Representatives notify the Company and the Selling Stockholder that the Representatives have so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, or the Company or the Selling Stockholder (acting on its own or through AIG) notifies the Representatives that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, the Representatives, the Company or the Selling Stockholder (acting on its own or through AIG) shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date for such Securities for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus as amended or supplemented, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendments to the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus which in the opinion of the Representatives may thereby be made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to the Pricing Agreement with respect to such Securities.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of any defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the Representatives, the Company and the Selling Stockholder as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of shares of such Securities which remains unpurchased does not exceed ten percent of the aggregate number of shares of such Securities to be purchased on such Closing Date, then the Company and the Selling Stockholder shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the aggregate number of shares of such Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase under the Pricing Agreement relating to such Securities and, in addition, to require each nondefaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on the aggregate number of shares of such Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase under such Pricing Agreement) of the Securities of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the Representatives, the Company and the Selling Stockholder as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of shares of such Securities which remains unpurchased exceeds ten percent of the aggregate number of shares of such Securities as referred to in subsection (b) above, or if the Company and the Selling Stockholder (acting on its own or through AIG) shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then the Pricing Agreement relating to such Securities shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any nondefaulting Underwriter, the Company or the Selling

Stockholder, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company, AIG, the Selling Stockholder and the Underwriters as provided in Section 6 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 8 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

10. Offering and Allocation Restrictions. Each Underwriter acknowledges, represents and agrees that it has not offered, sold or delivered and it will not offer, sell or deliver, any of the Securities, in or from any jurisdiction except under circumstances that are reasonably designed to result in compliance with the applicable securities laws and regulations thereof. In particular, each Underwriter acknowledges, represents and agrees as set forth in Annex IX to this Agreement. The Underwriters agree (x) that they will not sell the Securities purchased by them hereunder to any purchaser if the number of Securities sold to such purchaser, together with the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under any Equity Units sold to such purchaser in the Concurrent Offering (for the purpose of this determination, giving effect to the conversion of such Equity Units into the minimum number of underlying shares of Common Stock), would exceed 22 million shares, unless approved by the Company, and (y) that, if fewer than 146,809,712 of the Securities are purchased hereunder by the Underwriters, the number of Securities to be purchased by the Underwriters will be purchased first from the Securities that the Company is selling and second from the Securities that the Selling Stockholder is selling.

11. Survival. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, AIG, the Selling Stockholder and the several Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any Underwriter, the Company, AIG or the Selling Stockholder or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.

12. Effect of Termination of Pricing Agreement or Nondelivery of Securities. If any Pricing Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the Company, AIG and the Selling Stockholder shall not then be under any liability to any Underwriter with respect to the Securities covered by such Pricing Agreement except as provided in Section 6 and Section 8 hereof; but, if for any other reason, Securities are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company or the Selling Stockholder, as the case may be, as provided herein, the Company, AIG and the Selling Stockholder, jointly and severally, will reimburse the Underwriters through the Representatives for all out-of-pocket expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of such Securities, but the Company, AIG and the Selling Stockholder shall then be under no further liability to any Underwriter in respect of such Securities except as provided in Section 6 and Section 8 hereof, it being understood that AIG and the Selling Stockholder

shall be treated as one entity for purposes of such reimbursement and that the Company, on the one hand, and AIG and the Selling Stockholder, on the other hand, shall be responsible for no more than their pro rata share of such expenses based on the number of shares that the Company, on the one hand, and AIG and the Selling Stockholder, on the other hand, propose to sell under the Pricing Agreement.

13. Reliance upon Representatives. In all dealings hereunder, the Representatives shall act on behalf of the Underwriters of Securities and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by such of the Representatives, if any, as may be designated for such purpose in the applicable Pricing Agreements.

14. Notices. All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication; notices to the Underwriters shall be directed to the address of the respective Representatives as set forth in the applicable Pricing Agreements with a copy to Debevoise & Xxxxxxxx LLP, 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 (facsimile: 212-909-6836), attention of Xxxxx X.

XxXxXxxxx, Esq. Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect at the time of receipt thereof.

15. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and each Pricing Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Underwriters, the Company, AIG, the Selling Stockholder and, to the extent provided in Sections 8 and 11 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company and each person who controls the Company, AIG, the Selling Stockholder or any Underwriter, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement or any such Pricing Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

16. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH PRICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.

17. Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the Company, AIG and the Selling Stockholder agrees that any legal suit, action or proceeding against the Company, AIG or Selling Stockholder brought by any Underwriter or by any person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in any state or federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding, and irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any suit, action or proceeding.

18. Counterparts. This Agreement and each Pricing Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto and thereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

19. No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship. Each of the Company, AIG and Selling Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the public offering price of the Securities and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, AIG and the Selling Stockholder, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other hand, (b) in connection with any offering contemplated by this Agreement and any Pricing Agreement and the process leading to any such transaction each Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Company, AIG or the Selling Stockholder, or any of their respective stockholders, creditors, employees or any other party, (c) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company, AIG or the Selling Stockholder with respect to any such offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company, AIG or the Selling Stockholder on other matters) and no Underwriter has any obligation to the Company, AIG or the Selling Stockholder with respect to such offering contemplated hereby except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and any relevant Pricing Agreement, (d) the Underwriters and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company, AIG and the Selling Stockholder, (e) each of the Company, AIG and the Selling Stockholder agrees that it will not claim that the Underwriters, or any of them, has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, AIG or the Selling Stockholder, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto and (f) the Underwriters have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering contemplated hereby and each of the Company, AIG and the Selling Stockholder has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate.

20. Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company, AIG, the Selling Stockholder and the Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

21. Waiver of Jury Trial. The Company and each of the Underwriters hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

22. No Voting. Without limiting the applicability of Sections 3 and 4 hereof or any other provision of this Agreement, the Underwriters will purchase any Securities purchased hereunder in the ordinary course of their activities as broker-dealers and not with the purpose or intent, directly or indirectly through any affiliate, of exercising control over the Company or any of its subsidiaries. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Underwriter agrees that for so long as it owns any of the Securities purchased by it hereunder (a) it, directly or indirectly through any affiliate, will not exercise any voting rights associated with the Securities purchased by it hereunder, to the extent such exercise would give rise to a presumption of control under any applicable insurance law or regulation or trigger any other regulatory approval requirement, without first having obtained any required regulatory approval; (b) to the extent it, directly or indirectly through any affiliate, exercises any voting rights associated with the Securities purchased by it hereunder, it and any such affiliates will vote all such Securities in the same proportion as the shares of Common Stock or other voting securities of the Company voted by all other holders of Common Stock or such other voting securities; and (c) it will not sell the Securities purchased by it hereunder to any purchaser if the number of Securities sold to such purchaser, together with the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under any Equity Units sold to such purchaser in the Concurrent Offering (for the purpose of this determination, giving effect to the conversion of such Equity Units into the minimum number of underlying shares of Common Stock), would exceed 22 million shares, unless approved by the Company.

23. Patriot Act. In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L., 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

MetLife, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), American International Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AIG”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ALICO Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Selling Stockholder”), propose, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein (this “Agreement”) and in the Underwriting Agreement, dated March 2, 2011 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), to issue and sell, in the case of the Company, and to sell, in the case of the Selling Stockholder, to the Underwriters named in Schedule I hereto (the “Underwriters”) the respective total number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share specified in Schedule I hereto (the “Securities”) at the purchase price per share specified in Schedule II hereto.

Each of the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and shall be deemed to be a part of this Agreement to the same extent as if such provisions had been set forth in full herein; and each of the representations and warranties set forth therein shall be deemed to have been made at and as of the date of this Agreement, the Applicable Time and the Closing Date. Each reference to the Representatives herein and in the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement so incorporated by reference shall be deemed to refer to you. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Underwriting Agreement are used herein as therein defined. The Securities shall be considered Securities under the Underwriting Agreement. The Representatives designated to act on behalf of the Representatives and

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Underwriting Agreement incorporated herein by reference, the Company agrees to issue, sell and deliver, and the Selling Stockholder agrees to sell and deliver, to each of the Underwriters, and each of the Underwriters agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company and the Selling Stockholder, at the time and place and at the purchase price to the Underwriters set forth in Schedule II hereto, the number of Securities set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule I hereto.

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and return to us counterparts hereof, and upon acceptance hereof by you, on behalf of each of the Underwriters, this letter and such acceptance hereof, including the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement incorporated herein by reference, shall constitute a binding agreement between each of the Underwriters, the Company, AIG and the Selling Stockholder.

Dear Sirs:

As an inducement to the Underwriters (as defined in the Underwriting Agreements referred to herein) to enter into Underwriting Agreements with MetLife, Inc. and any successor (by merger or otherwise) thereto (the “Company”) pursuant to which an offering by the Company and ALICO Holdings LLC of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), and an offering by ALICO Holdings LLC of the Company’s common equity units with an initial stated value of $75.00 (the “Equity Units” and, together with the Common Stock, the “Securities”) is proposed to be made that is intended to result in an orderly market for the Securities, the undersigned hereby agrees that during the period specified in the following paragraph (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any Securities, enter into a transaction which would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Securities, whether any such aforementioned transaction is to be settled by delivery of the Securities or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any such transaction, swap, hedge or other

VIII-1

arrangement, without, in each case, the prior written consent of Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co. (“Xxxxxxx Sachs”). In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, it will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Securities or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for the Securities.

The Lock-Up Period will commence on the date of this Lock-Up Agreement and continue through and include the date 60 days after the public offering date set forth on the final prospectus used to sell the Securities (the “Public Offering Date”) pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, to which you are or expect to become parties.

A transfer of Securities to a family member, trust or charitable organization may be made, provided that (i) the transferee agrees to be bound in writing by the terms of this Agreement prior to such transfer, (ii) such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value and (iii) no filing by any party (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with such transfer (other than a filing on a Form 5 made after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period).

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (a) if the undersigned has entered into a written trading plan established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act prior to the commencement of the Lock-Up Period, the undersigned may sell any Securities pursuant to such plan during the Lock-Up Period without any notice to Xxxxxxx Sachs, (b) the undersigned may enter into one or more written trading plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act during the Lock-Up Period, but may not sell any Securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any Securities pursuant to such plan during the Lock-Up Period, and (c) the undersigned may exercise stock options or otherwise receive Securities from the Company during the Lock-Up Period. Any Securities received upon exercise of options granted to the undersigned or otherwise received by the undersigned from the Company will also be subject to this Agreement.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its transfer agent and registrar are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of Securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement.

VIII-2

This Agreement shall be binding on the undersigned and the successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns of the undersigned. This Agreement shall lapse and become null and void if the Public Offering Date shall not have occurred on or before April 30, 2011. This agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.


		Very truly yours,

ANNEX IX

OFFERING RESTRICTIONS

European Economic Area

In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a Relevant Member State), with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State, it has not made and will not make an offer of common stock which is the subject of the offering contemplated by this prospectus supplement to the public in that Relevant Member State other than:

(a) to any legal entity which is a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive;

(b) to fewer than 100 or, if the Relevant Member State has implemented the relevant provision of the 2010 PD Amending Directive, 150, natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive), as permitted under the Prospectus Directive, subject to obtaining the prior consent of the representatives for any such offer; or

provided that no such offer of common stock shall require MetLife, Inc. or any representative to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive.

For the purposes of this provision, the expression an “offer to the public” in relation to any common stock in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and any common stock to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the common stock, as the same may be varied in that Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member State, the expression “Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC (and amendments thereto, including the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member State) and includes any relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State and the expression “2010 PD Amending Directive” means Directive 2010/73/EU.

(a) It has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the Financial Services

XX-0

xxx Xxxxxx Xxx 0000, or FSMA) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of the common stock in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to MetLife, Inc. or any representative; and

(b) It has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to the common stock in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.

Switzerland

This prospectus supplement (and the accompanying prospectus), as well as any other material relating to the common stock which is the subject of the offering contemplated by this prospectus supplement (and the accompanying prospectus), do not constitute an issue prospectus pursuant to Article 652a or Article 1156 of the Swiss Code of Obligations. The common stock will not be listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange and, therefore, the documents relating to the common stock, including, but not limited to, this prospectus supplement (and the accompanying prospectus) may not comply with the disclosure standards of the listing rules (including any additional listing rules or prospectus schemes) of the SIX Swiss Exchange. The common stock is being offered in Switzerland by way of a private placement, i.e., to a small number of selected investors only, without any public offer and only to investors who do not purchase the common stock with the intention to distribute it to the public. The investors will be individually approached by the issuer from time to time. This prospectus supplement (and the accompanying prospectus) as well as any other material relating to the common stock, is personal and confidential and does not constitute an offer to any other person. This prospectus supplement (and the accompanying prospectus) may only be used by those investors to whom it has been handed out in connection with the offering described herein and may neither directly nor indirectly be distributed or made available to other persons without express consent of the issuer. It may not be used in connection with any other offer and shall in particular not be copied and/or distributed to the public in (or from) Switzerland.

Dubai International Financial Centre

This prospectus supplement (and the accompanying prospectus) relates to an exempt offer in accordance with the Offered Securities Rules of the Dubai Financial Services Authority. This prospectus supplement (and the accompanying prospectus) is intended for distribution only to persons of a type specified in those rules. It must not be delivered to, or relied on by, any other person. The Dubai Financial Services Authority has no responsibility for reviewing or verifying any documents in connection with exempt offers. The Dubai Financial Services Authority has not approved this prospectus supplement (and the accompanying prospectus) nor taken steps to verify the information set out in it, and has no responsibility for it. The common stock which is the subject of the offering contemplated by this prospectus supplement may be illiquid and/or subject to

IX-2

restrictions on their resale. Prospective purchasers of the common stock offered should conduct their own due diligence on the common stock. If you do not understand the contents of this prospectus supplement (and the accompanying prospectus) you should consult an authorized financial adviser.

Australia

This prospectus supplement (and the accompanying prospectus) is not a formal disclosure document and has not been, nor will be, lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. This prospectus supplement (and the accompanying prospectus) does not purport to contain all information that investors or their professional advisers would expect to find in a prospectus or other disclosure document (as defined in the Corporations Xxx 0000 (Australia)) for the purposes of Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Xxx 0000 (Australia) or in a product disclosure statement for the purposes of Part 7.9 of the Corporations Xxx 0000 (Australia), in either case, in relation to the common stock.

The common stock is not being offered in Australia to “retail clients” as defined in sections 761G and 761GA of the Corporations Xxx 0000 (Australia). This offering is being made in Australia solely to “wholesale clients” for the purposes of section 761G of the Corporations Act 2001 (Australia) and, as such, no prospectus, product disclosure statement or other disclosure document in relation to the common stock has been, or will be, prepared.

This prospectus supplement (and the accompanying prospectus) does not constitute an offer in Australia other than to wholesale clients. By submitting an application for the common stock, you represent and warrant to us that you are a wholesale client for the purposes of section 761G of the Corporations Xxx 0000 (Australia). If any recipient of this prospectus supplement (and the accompanying prospectus) is not a wholesale client, no offer of, or invitation to apply for, the common stock shall be deemed to be made to such recipient and no applications for the common stock will be accepted from such recipient. Any offer to a recipient in Australia, and any agreement arising from acceptance of such offer, is personal and may only be accepted by the recipient. In addition, by applying the common stock you undertake to us that, for a period of 12 months from the date of issue of the common stock, you will not transfer any interest in the common stock to any person in Australia other than to a wholesale client.

Hong Kong

The common stock may not be offered or sold by means of any document other than (i) in circumstances which do not constitute an offer to the public within the meaning of the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 32, Laws of Hong Kong), or (ii) to “professional investors” within the meaning of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571, Laws of Hong Kong) and any rules made thereunder, or (iii) in other

IX-3

circumstances which do not result in this prospectus supplement (and the accompanying prospectus) being a “prospectus” within the meaning of the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 32, Laws of Hong Kong), and no advertisement, invitation or document relating to the common stock may be issued or may be in the possession of any person for the purpose of issue (in each case, whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere), which is directed at, or the contents of which are likely to be accessed or read by, the public in Hong Kong (except if permitted to do so under the laws of Hong Kong) other than with respect to the common stock which is or is intended to be disposed of only to persons outside Hong Kong or only to “professional investors” within the meaning of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571, Laws of Hong Kong) and any rules made thereunder.

Japan

The common stock has not been and will not be registered under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law of Japan (the “Financial Instruments and Exchange Law”) and each underwriter has agreed that it will not offer or sell any common stock, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to, or for the benefit of, any resident of Japan (which term as used herein means any person resident in Japan, including any corporation or other entity organized under the laws of Japan), or to others for re-offering or resale, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to a resident of Japan, except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of, and otherwise in compliance with, the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law and any other applicable laws, regulations and ministerial guidelines of Japan.

Singapore

Neither this prospectus supplement nor the accompanying prospectus has been registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore. Accordingly, this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or any other document or material in connection with the offer or sale, or invitation for subscription or purchase, of the common stock may not be circulated or distributed, nor may the common stock be offered or sold, or be made the subject of an invitation for subscription or purchase, whether directly or indirectly, to persons in Singapore other than (i) to an institutional investor under Section 274 of the Securities and Futures Act, Chapter 289 of Singapore (the “SFA”), (ii) to a relevant person, or any person pursuant to Section 275(1A), and in accordance with the conditions, specified in Section 275 of the SFA or (iii) otherwise pursuant to, and in accordance with the conditions of, any other applicable provision of the SFA.

Where the common stock is subscribed or purchased under Section 275 by a relevant person which is: (a) a corporation (which is not an accredited investor) the sole business of which is to hold investments and the entire share capital of which is owned by one or more individuals, each of whom is an accredited investor; or (b) a trust (where the trustee is not an accredited investor) whose sole purpose is to hold investments and each

IX-4

beneficiary is an accredited investor, common stock, debentures and units of common stock and debentures of that corporation or the beneficiaries’ rights and interest in that trust shall not be transferable for 6 months after that corporation or that trust has acquired the common stock under Section 275 except: (1) to an institutional investor under Section 274 of the SFA or to a relevant person, or any person pursuant to Section 275(1A), and in accordance with the conditions, specified in Section 275 of the SFA; (2) where no consideration is given for the transfer; or (3) by operation of law.
