Item 33. Indemnification

As described in their respective governing documents, MetLife, Inc. (the ultimate parent of the Depositor and MetLife Investors Distribution Company, the Registrant’s principal underwriter (the “Underwriter”)), which is incorporated in the state of Delaware, and the Depositor, which is incorporated in the state of New York, shall indemnify any person who is made or is threatened to be made a party to any civil or criminal suit, or any administrative or investigative proceeding, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the respective company, under certain circumstances, against liabilities and expenses incurred by such person.

MetLife, Inc. also has adopted a policy to indemnify employees (“MetLife Employees”) of MetLife, Inc. or its affiliates (“MetLife”), including any MetLife Employees serving as directors or officers of the Depositor or the Underwriter. Under the policy, MetLife, Inc. will, under certain circumstances, indemnify MetLife Employees for losses and expenses incurred in connection with legal actions threatened or brought against them as a result of their service to MetLife. The policy excludes MetLife directors and others who are not MetLife Employees, whose rights to indemnification, if any, are as described in the charter, bylaws or other arrangement of the relevant company.

MetLife, Inc. also maintains a Directors and Officers Liability and Corporate Reimbursement Insurance Policy under which the Depositor and the Underwriter, as well as certain other subsidiaries of MetLife, are covered. MetLife, Inc. also has secured a Financial Institutions Bond.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company, pursuant to the foregoing provisions, 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.

AMENDMENT TO PARTICIPATION AGREEMENTS

METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY (the “Company”) on behalf of itself and certain of its separate accounts (the “Accounts”); BRIGHTHOUSE FUNDS TRUST I (the “Fund”); BRIGHTHOUSE INVESTMENT ADVISERS, LLC (the “Adviser”) and BRIGHTHOUSE SECURITIES, LLC (the “Underwriter”) entered into a participation agreement dated March 6, 2017, as amended, (the “Agreement”). This Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Agreements is entered into as of January 1, 2021 by and among the Company on its own behalf and on behalf of each Account of the Company as set forth in the Agreement, the Fund, the Adviser and the Underwriter (“the Parties”). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agreements, the Accounts invest in shares of certain of the portfolios (“Portfolios”) that constitute separate portfolios of the Fund and that serve as funding vehicles for the Accounts offered under variable annuity and/or life insurance contracts issued by the Company (the “Contracts”) to persons that are registered owners of such Contracts on the books and records of the Company (the “Contract Owners”); and

WHEREAS, the Fund maintains on its books and records one or more account(s) that hold and record ownership of shares of the Funds; and

WHEREAS, the Accounts are registered as unit investment trusts under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”); and

WHEREAS, Rule 30e-1 under the 1940 Act requires the Fund to deliver copies of its shareholder reports to the Accounts as the record owners of shares of such Portfolios; and

WHEREAS, Rule 30e-2 under the 1940 Act requires the Accounts to deliver such applicable Fund shareholder reports to Contract Owners, and

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to amend the Agreements to reflect and implement the requirements, terms and conditions of Rule 30e-3 under the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time “Rule 30e-3”), to permit (i) the Fund to no longer deliver copies of Fund shareholder reports to the Accounts as would otherwise be required by Rule 30e-1, and (ii) the Accounts to deliver Fund shareholder reports to Contract Owners using the “notice and access” provisions of Rule 30e-3 including the website hosting of certain Fund materials required by Rule 30e-3 rather than the delivery methods that would otherwise be required by Rule 30e-2; and

WHEREAS, the Company cannot host such website in a manner consistent with the conditions of Rule 30e-3 unless the Fund prepares and provides certain Fund documents and materials that are specified in Rule 30e-3;

WHEREAS, Section 5(b)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) may require that a Statutory Prospectus (as defined in rule 498A under the 1933 Act; “Rule 498A”) for the Funds be delivered to Contract Owners under certain circumstances; and

Page 1 of 7

(d)

the Company shall make reasonable efforts to comply with the “safe harbor” provisions, terms and conditions of paragraph (b)(5) of Rule 30e-3 paragraph (h)(4) of Rule 498A, which shall constitute compliance with subsections (a) through (c) of Section 1 of this Amendment (for the avoidance of doubt, for this purpose, the “Company” referred to in said paragraph (b)(5)) and “Registrant” referred to in said paragraph (h)(4) of Rule 498A of Rule 30e-3 means the Company on behalf of the Accounts).
