                    SUPPLEMENT DATED APRIL 30, 2018 TO THE
                PROSPECTUS DATED MAY 1, 2000 (AS SUPPLEMENTED)

       This supplement updates certain information contained in the last full
prospectus for the above-referenced variable life insurance policy (the
"Policy"), as annually and periodically supplemented (the "Prospectus") and
consists of two parts: PART 1 and PART 2. Part 1 of the supplement describes
the recent merger involving General American Life Insurance Company, the
insurer that issued your Policy, and what it means for you. Part 2 of the
supplement provides additional information regarding your Policy, including
information regarding the separate account, the funds available, and the
underlying fund fees and expenses.

       Please read this supplement and keep it with your Prospectus for future
reference. You may obtain a copy of the Prospectus for your Policy, free of
charge, by writing to our Administrative Office, or by calling 1-800-638-9294,
or by accessing the Securities and Exchange Commission's website at
http://www.sec.gov.

       PART 1.       INFORMATION REGARDING THE MERGER

       Effective following the close of business on April 27, 2018, General
American Life Insurance Company was merged into Metropolitan Tower Life
Insurance Company ("Met Tower Life"). Simultaneously, Met Tower Life changed
its domicile from the state of Delaware to Nebraska. Accordingly, all
references in the Prospectus to General American Life Insurance Company or the
Company are deemed to refer to Met Tower Life.

       As a result of the merger, Met Tower Life assumed legal ownership of all
of the assets of General American Life Insurance Company, including General
American Separate Account Eleven (the "Separate Account") and the assets held
in the Separate Account. Met Tower Life is now responsible for administering
your Policy and paying any benefits due to you under the Policy. In other
words, you are now a Policy Owner of Met Tower Life. Nevertheless, the transfer
of your Policy to Met Tower Life will not impact the administration of your
Policy. In particular:

     .      There are no changes in our obligations or your rights and benefits
            under your Policy as a result of the merger.

     .      None of the underlying funds previously available to you under your
            Policy have been substituted or terminated by virtue of the merger.
            The underlying funds currently available are listed below in Part 2
            of this supplement under "THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT."

     .      Met Tower Life will continue to service and maintain your Policy in
            accordance with its terms and there has been no change in the
            contact information for the administrative offices for your Policy.

     .      Your cash value is not affected by the merger and no charges have
            been or will be imposed in connection with the merger.

     .      The merger did not result in any federal income tax consequences to
            you.

THE FOLLOWING REPLACES THE FIRST PARAGRAPH OF THE DISCLOSURE IN YOUR PROSPECTUS
UNDER THE CAPTION "THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT," IN THE SECTION OF THE PROSPECTUS
TITLED "THE COMPANY AND THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT," AND SUPERSEDES ANY OTHER
DISCLOSURE IN THE PROSPECTUS (INCLUDING ANY AND ALL INTERIM SUPPLEMENTS
THERETO) TO THE CONTRARY:

       General American Life Insurance Company Separate Account Eleven ("the
Separate Account") was established by General American as a separate investment
account on January 24, 1985 to hold the assets that underlie the Policy. The
Separate Account will receive and invest the Net Premiums paid



under the Policy and allocated to it. In addition, the Separate Account
currently receives and invests Net Premiums for other classes of flexible
premium variable life insurance policies and might do so for additional classes
in the future. On April 27, 2018, following the close of business, General
American merged into Met Tower Life and the Separate Account became a separate
account of Met Tower Life.

THE FOLLOWING REPLACES THE DISCLOSURE IN YOUR PROSPECTUS UNDER THE SECTION OF
THE PROSPECTUS TITLED "DISTRIBUTION OF THE POLICIES," AND SUPERSEDES ANY OTHER
DISCLOSURE IN THE PROSPECTUS (INCLUDING ANY AND ALL INTERIM SUPPLEMENTS
THERETO) TO THE CONTRARY:

       The Policies are no longer offered for sale. Existing Policy Owners may
continue to make additional purchase payments to their Policies.

       MetLife Investors Distribution Company ("MLIDC") is the principal
underwriter and distributor of the Policies. MLIDC, which is our affiliate,
also acts as the principal underwriter and distributor of other variable life
insurance policies and variable annuity contracts that we, or affiliated
companies issue. We pay compensation to MLIDC for sales of the Policies by
selling firms. We also pay amounts to MLIDC that may be used for its operating
other expenses, including sales distribution expenses.

       MLIDC is a Missouri corporation organized in 2000 and its principal
executive offices are located at 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166. MLIDC is
registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a broker-dealer and is
a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). 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.

       MLIDC has entered into selling agreements with other broker-dealers
("selling firms") for the sale of the Policies. The Company pays commissions to
these selling firms for the sale of the Policies, and these selling firms
compensate their registered representative agents. Commissions are payable on
net collected premiums received by the Company. A portion of the payments made
to selling firms may be passed on to their registered representatives in
accordance with their internal compensation programs. Those programs may also
include other types of cash and non-cash compensation and other benefits. Ask
your registered representative for further information about what your
registered representative and the selling firm for which he or she works may
receive in connection with your purchase of a Policy.


       MLIDC received sales compensation with respect to the Policies in the
following amounts during the periods indicated: $2,895,144 for 2017, $2,424,979
for 2016, and $2,368,157 for 2015.


       These commissions and other incentives or payments are not charged
directly to Policy Owners or the Separate Account. We intend to recoup
commissions and other sales expenses through fees and charges deducted under
the Policy.

       The information shown in the table above was provided by the Funds.
Certain Funds and their investment adviser have entered into expense
reimbursement and/or fee waiver arrangements that will continue from April 30,
2018 through April 30, 2019. These arrangements can be terminated with respect
to these Funds only with the approval of the Fund's board of directors or
trustees. Please see the Funds' prospectuses for additional information
regarding these arrangements.


       Certain Funds that have "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses" are "funds of
funds." A fund of funds invests substantially all of its assets in other
underlying funds. Because the Fund invests in other funds, it will bear its pro
rata portion of the operating expenses of those underlying funds, including the
management fee.


CERTAIN PAYMENTS WE RECEIVE WITH REGARD TO THE FUNDS

       An investment adviser 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 Policies
and, in our role as an intermediary, with respect to the Funds. We and our
affiliates may profit from these payments. These payments may be derived, in
whole or in part, from the advisory fee deducted from Fund assets. Policy
Owners, through their indirect investment in the Funds, bear the costs of these
advisory fees (see the prospectuses for the Funds for more information). The
amount of the payments



we receive is based on a percentage of assets of the Funds attributable to the
Policies and certain other variable insurance products that we and our
affiliates issue. These percentages differ and some advisers or subadvisers (or
their affiliates) may pay us more than others. These percentages currently
range up to 0.50%. Additionally, an investment adviser or subadviser of a Fund
or its affiliates may provide us with wholesaling services that assist in the
distribution of the Policies and may pay us and/or certain of our 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 Policies.

       On August 4, 2017, MetLife, Inc. completed the separation of Brighthouse
Financial, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Brighthouse") where MetLife, Inc.
retained an ownership interest of 19.2% common stock outstanding of Brighthouse
Financial, Inc. Brighthouse subsidiaries include Brighthouse Investment
Advisers, LLC, which serves as the investment adviser for the Brighthouse Funds
Trust I and Brighthouse Funds Trust II. We and our affiliated companies have
entered into agreements with Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC, Brighthouse
Funds Trust I and Brighthouse Funds Trust II whereby we receive payments for
certain administrative, marketing and support services described in the
previous paragraph. Currently, the Funds in Brighthouse Funds Trust I and
Brighthouse Funds Trust II are only available in annuity contracts and variable
life insurance policies issued by Met Tower Life and its affiliates, as well as
Brighthouse Life Insurance Company and its affiliates. As of December 31, 2017,
approximately 85% of Fund assets held in separate accounts of Met Tower Life
and its affiliates were allocated to Funds in Brighthouse Funds Trust I and
Brighthouse Funds Trust II. Should we or Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC
decide to terminate the agreements, we could be required to find alternative
Funds which could have higher or lower costs to Policy Owners. In addition, the
amount of payments we receive could cease or be substantially reduced which
would have a material impact on our financial statements.

       We select the Funds offered through this Policy based on a number of
criteria, including asset class coverage, the strength of the adviser's or
subadviser'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
subadviser is one of our affiliates or whether the Fund, its adviser, its
subadviser(s), or an affiliate will make payments to us or our affiliates. In
this regard, the profit distributions we receive from our affiliated investment
adviser 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 portfolios advised by our affiliate than those that are not, we may be more
inclined to offer portfolios advised by our affiliate in the variable insurance
products we issue. We review the Funds periodically and may remove a Fund or
limit its availability to new purchase payments and/or transfers of Policy
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 Policy owners. 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 Policy value to such Funds.

       WE DO NOT PROVIDE ANY INVESTMENT ADVICE AND DO NOT RECOMMEND OR ENDORSE
ANY PARTICULAR FUND. YOU BEAR THE RISK OF ANY DECLINE IN THE POLICY VALUE OF
YOUR POLICY RESULTING FROM THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS YOU HAVE CHOSEN.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Policy Owners of
General American Separate Account Eleven
and Board of Directors of
General American Life Insurance Company

OPINION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of
General American Separate Account Eleven (the "Separate Account") of General
American Life Insurance Company (the "Company") comprising each of the
individual Divisions listed in Note 2 as of December 31, 2017, the related
statements of operations and changes in net assets for the respective stated
periods in the three years then ended, the financial highlights in Note 8 for
the respective stated periods in the five years then ended, and the related
notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the
Divisions constituting the Separate Account of the Company as of December 31,
2017, the results of their operations and changes in net assets for the
respective stated periods in the three 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.

BASIS FOR OPINION

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of
the Separate Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on the Separate Account's financial statements and financial highlights based
on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to
be independent with respect to the Separate Account in accordance with the U.S.
federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. The Separate
Account is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of
its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are
required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial
reporting 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.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due
to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such
procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our
audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included
confirmation of investments owned as of December 31, 2017, by correspondence
with the custodian or mutual fund companies. We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

               NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.  ORGANIZATION


General American Separate Account Eleven (the "Separate Account"), a separate
account of General American Life Insurance Company (the "Company"), was
established by the Company's Board of Directors on January 30, 1985 to support
operations of the Company with respect to certain variable life insurance
policies (the "Policies"). The Company is a direct 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 Missouri Department of
Insurance.

The Separate Account is divided into Divisions, each of which is treated as an
individual accounting entity for financial reporting purposes. Each Division
invests in shares of the corresponding fund or portfolio (with the same name)
of registered investment management companies (the "Trusts"), which are
presented below:


                                                        
American Funds Insurance Series ("American Funds")         JPMorgan Insurance Trust ("JP Morgan")
Brighthouse Funds Trust I ("BHFTI")                        Russell Investment Funds ("Russell")
Brighthouse Funds Trust II ("BHFTII")                      VanEck VIP Trust ("VanEck VIP")
Fidelity Variable Insurance Products ("Fidelity VIP")

The assets of each of the Divisions 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 Policies cannot be used for liabilities
arising out of any other business conducted by the Company.

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 life separate accounts registered as unit investment
trusts, which follow the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial
Accounting Standards Board ACCOUNTING STANDARDS CODIFICATION TOPIC 946,
INVESTMENT COMPANIES.



                                     81



            GENERAL AMERICAN SEPARATE ACCOUNT ELEVEN
           OF GENERAL AMERICAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
        NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)



4.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- (CONCLUDED)


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 Division's investment in shares of a fund or portfolio 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 Divisions.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. Each Division 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.


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 Policies. 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 Policies.


PREMIUM PAYMENTS
The Company deducts a sales charge for certain policies and a state premium tax
charge from premiums before amounts are allocated to the Separate Account. In
the case of certain Policies, the Company also deducts a federal income tax
charge before amounts are allocated to the Separate Account. This federal
income tax charge is imposed in connection with certain Policies to recover a
portion of the federal income tax adjustment attributable to Policy acquisition
expenses. Net premiums are reported as premium payments received from Policy
owners on the statements of changes in net assets of the applicable Divisions
and are credited as units.


NET TRANSFERS
Funds transferred by the policy owner into or out of Divisions within the
Separate Account or into or out of the fixed account, which is part of 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 Divisions.


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


The following annual Separate Account charge paid to the Company is an
asset-based charge assessed through a daily reduction in unit values, which is
recorded as an expense in the accompanying statements of operations of the
applicable Divisions:

     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 Policies will exceed the amounts realized
     from the administrative charges assessed against the Policies.

5.  EXPENSES -- (CONCLUDED)


      The table below represents the range of effective annual rates for the
      charge for the year ended December 31, 2017:


                                                                                                          
     -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Mortality and Expense Risk                                                                              0.00% - 0.90%
     -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      The above referenced charge 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 Policy.

For some Policies, a Mortality and Expense Risk charge ranging from 0.15% to
0.75% is assessed on a monthly basis through the redemption of units. Other
Policy charges that are assessed through the redemption of units generally
include: cost of insurance ("COI") charges, administrative charges, a Policy
fee, and charges for benefits provided by rider, if any. The COI charge is the
primary charge under the Policy for the death benefit provided by the Company.
Policy administrative charges range from $.03 to $.38 for every $1,000 of the
Policy face amount and are assessed per month for the first 10 Policy years.

Policy fees range from $4 to $25 and are assessed monthly depending on the
Policy and the Policy year. In addition, a surrender charge is imposed if the
Policy is partially or fully surrendered within the specified surrender charge
period that ranges from 0% to 45% of the Policy's target premium. Most Policies
offer optional benefits that can be added to the Policy by rider. The charge
for riders that provide life insurance benefits can range from $.01 to $83.33
per $1,000 of coverage and the charge for riders providing benefits in the
event of disability can range from $2.40 to $61.44 per $100 of the benefit
provided. These charges are paid to the Company and are recorded as Policy
charges in the accompanying statements of changes in net assets of the
applicable Divisions for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015.

1 These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital
  gains, received by the Division from the underlying fund or portfolio, net of
  management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net
  assets, regardless of share class, if any. These ratios exclude those
  expenses, such as mortality and expense risk charges, that are assessed
  against policy 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 Division is affected by
  the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund or
  portfolio in which the Division invests. The investment income ratio is
  calculated as a weighted average ratio since the Division may invest in two
  or more share classes, within the underlying fund or portfolio of the Trusts
  which may have unique investment income ratios.

2 These amounts represent annualized policy expenses of each of the applicable
  Divisions, 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 policy owner
  accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund
  or portfolio have been excluded.

3 These amounts represent the total return for the period indicated, including
  changes in the value of the underlying fund or portfolio, 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 Division.

Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries

Consolidated Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 and for the Years Ended December 31, 2017,
2016 and 2015 and Independent Auditors' Report






                     [THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]






                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of
Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of
Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries (a wholly-owned
subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) (the "Company") which comprise the consolidated
balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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,
2017, 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 audit. We conducted our audit 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 Metropolitan Tower
Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017 and 2016,
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2017, in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Emphasis of Matter

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, 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. Our opinion is not
modified with respect to this matter.

                Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies

Business

   Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company ("MTL") and its subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Company") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife, Inc. The
Company is domiciled in the state of Delaware ("Delaware"), and is licensed to
transact insurance business in, and is subject to regulation by all 50 states
and the District of Columbia. The Company is actively selling structured
settlement annuities, as well as term life insurance sold through the Company's
direct to consumer channel. The Company is no longer actively selling
traditional fixed annuities, variable and universal life insurance, and whole
life insurance.

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 on 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 these
estimates.

  Consolidation

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
  MTL and its subsidiaries, including partnerships 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.
  Generally, the assets of the separate accounts cannot be used to settle the
  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;

   .   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 on 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 on 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.

  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, morbidity, policy lapse, renewal, 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, morbidity 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 life paid-up 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 paid-up guarantee liabilities are consistent with
   those used for amortizing deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC"), and are
   thus subject to the same variability and risk as further discussed herein.
   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 relate to contracts or contract features
   where the Company has no significant insurance risk.

   Other Policy-Related Balances

      Other policy-related balances primarily include obligations assumed under
   structured settlement assignments as described in Note 2.

   Recognition of Insurance Revenues and Deposits

      Premiums related to traditional life and annuity contracts 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 policyholder account balances. 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 policyholder account balances.

      All revenues and expenses are presented net of reinsurance, as applicable.

  Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

     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 and
  reported in other assets on the balance sheet. 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; and

   .   other essential direct costs that would not have been incurred had a
       policy not been acquired or renewed.

     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               Actual and expected future gross
     non-dividend-paying traditional    premiums.
     contracts (primarily term
     insurance)
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 .   Fixed and variable universal life  Actual and expected future gross
     contracts                          profits.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

     See Note 3 for additional information on DAC amortization. Amortization of
  DAC is included in other expenses.

     The recovery of DAC is dependent upon the future profitability of the
  related business.

  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.

                                      10

         Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (continued)

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies (continued)


     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.

     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.

     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 and Net Investment Gains (Losses)

      Income from investments is reported within net investment income, unless
   otherwise stated herein. Gains and losses on sales of investments,
   impairment losses and changes in valuation allowances are reported within
   net investment gains (losses), 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
   policy-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 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, and is based on the
   estimated economic life of the securities, which for mortgage-backed and
   asset-backed securities considers the estimated timing and amount of
   prepayments of the underlying loans. See Note 5 "-- Fixed Maturity and
   Equity Securities AFS -- Methodology for Amortization of Premium and
   Accretion of Discount on Structured Securities." The amortization of premium
   and accretion of discount of fixed maturity securities also takes into
   consideration call and maturity dates. 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 "-- Fixed
   Maturity and Equity Securities AFS -- Evaluation of AFS Securities for OTTI
   and Evaluating Temporarily Impaired AFS Securities."

                                      11



          Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
                 (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.)

         Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (continued)

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies (continued)


      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 exists, 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.

      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 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 and accrued interest 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 recorded on a straight-line basis over the
   estimated useful life of the asset (typically 20 to 55 years). Rental income
   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.

   Real Estate Joint Ventures

      The Company uses the equity method of accounting for equity securities
   when it has significant influence or at least 20% interest and for real
   estate joint ventures ("investees") when it has more than a minor ownership
   interest or more than a minor influence over the investee's operations. 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.

                                      12



          Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries

         Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (continued)

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies (continued)


      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 when such distributions
   become payable 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.

   Annuities Funding Structured Settlement Claims

      Annuities funding structured settlement claims represent annuities
   funding claims assumed by the Company in its capacity as a structured
   settlements assignment company. The annuities are stated at their contract
   value, which represents the present value of the future periodic claim
   payments to be provided. The net investment income recognized reflects the
   amortization of discount of the annuity at its implied effective interest
   rate. See Note 2.

   Other Invested Assets

      Other invested assets consist principally of the following:

   .   Leveraged leases which are recorded net of non-recourse debt. Income is
       recognized by applying the leveraged lease's estimated rate of return to
       the net investment in the lease. Leveraged leases derive investment
       returns in part from their income tax treatment. The Company regularly
       reviews residual values for impairment.

   .   Freestanding derivatives with positive estimated fair values which are
       described in "-- Derivatives" below.

   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. Securities
   loaned under such transactions may be sold or re-pledged by the transferee.
   The Company is liable to return to the counterparties the cash collateral
   received. Security collateral on deposit from counterparties in connection
   with securities lending transactions may not be sold or re-pledged, unless
   the counterparty is in default, and is not reflected on the Company's
   financial statements. The Company monitors the estimated fair value of the
   securities loaned on a daily basis and additional collateral is obtained as
   necessary throughout the duration of the loan. 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 on the Company's balance sheet
   either as assets within other invested assets or as liabilities within other
   liabilities at estimated fair value. The Company does not offset the
   estimated 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 derivative's carrying value
   in other invested assets or other liabilities.

                                      13



          Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries

         Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (continued)

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies (continued)


      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).

   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 estimated fair value of the hedged item attributable to the
      designated risk being hedged.

  .   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 on 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 on the balance sheet 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 statement 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 on
   the balance sheet 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 on the balance sheet, with
   changes in its estimated fair value recognized in the current period as net
   derivative gains (losses).

 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.

         Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (continued)

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies (continued)


    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's judgment are used to determine the estimated fair value
 of assets and liabilities.

 Income Tax

   Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company and its includable subsidiaries
join with MetLife, Inc. and its includable subsidiaries in filing a
consolidated U.S. life insurance and non-life insurance 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 Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries
under the consolidated tax return regulations and a tax sharing agreement.
Under the consolidated tax return regulations, MetLife, Inc. has elected the
"percentage method" (and 100% under such method) of reimbursing companies for
tax attributes, e.g., net operating losses. As a result, 100% of tax attributes
are reimbursed by MetLife, Inc. to the extent that consolidated federal income
tax of the consolidated federal tax return group is reduced in a year by tax
attributes. On an annual basis, each of the profitable subsidiaries pays to
MetLife, Inc. the federal income tax which it would have paid based upon that
year's taxable income. If Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company or its
includable subsidiaries 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 Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance
Company and its includable subsidiaries when those tax attributes are realized
(or realizable) by the consolidated federal tax return group, even if
Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company or its includable subsidiaries 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 against deferred tax assets when management determines, based on
 available information, that it is more likely than not that deferred income
 tax assets will not be realized. Significant judgment is required in
 determining whether valuation allowances should be established, as well as the
 amount of such allowances. When making such determination the Company
 considers many factors, including:

  .   the nature, frequency, and amount of cumulative financial reporting
      income and losses in recent years;

  .   the jurisdiction in which the deferred tax asset was generated;

  .   the length of time that carryforward can be utilized in the various
      taxing jurisdictions;

  .   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 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, the effect of changes in tax
 laws, tax regulations, or interpretations of such laws or regulations, is
 recognized in net income tax expense (benefit) in the period of change.

    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 on the financial
 statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that
 is greater than 50% likely of being 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.

Policies (continued)


    The Company classifies interest recognized as interest expense and
 penalties recognized as a component of income tax expense.

    On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law H.R.1, commonly
 referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("U.S. Tax Reform"). See Note
 10 for additional information on U.S. Tax Reform and related Staff Accounting
 Bulletin ("SAB") 118 provisional amounts.

 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
 on 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.

   Property and Equipment

      Property and equipment, which is included in other assets, is stated at
   cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is determined using the
   straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as
   appropriate. The estimated life is generally 40 years for company occupied
   real estate property and from three to seven years for property and
   equipment. The cost basis was $37 million and $36 million at December 31,
   2017 and 2016, respectively. Accumulated depreciation was $15 million and
   $16 million at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Related
   depreciation expense was $3 million, $3 million and $2 million for the years
   ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. During the year ended
   December 31, 2015, an impairment of $21 million was recognized on company
   owned property. As of December 31, 2017, total minimum rental payments to be
   received in the future under non-cancelable leases was $6 million,
   $7 million, $7 million, $7 million, $1 million and $3 million for the years
   ended December 31, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and years thereafter,
   respectively. See Note 12 for information on rental revenues related to a
   lease agreement with an affiliate.

   Other Revenues

      Other revenues include fees on reinsurance financing agreements, as well
   as, rental income with affiliates. Such fees are recognized in the period in
   which services are performed.

   Employee Benefit Plans

      Pension, postretirement and postemployment benefits are provided to
   associates under plans sponsored and administered by Metropolitan Life
   Insurance Company ("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.

   Foreign Currency

      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.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

   Effective January 1, 2017, the Company early adopted guidance relating to
business combinations. The new guidance clarifies the definition of a business
and requires that an entity apply certain criteria in order to determine when a
set of assets and activities qualifies as a business. The adoption of this
standard will result in fewer acquisitions qualifying as businesses and,
accordingly, acquisition costs for those acquisitions that do not qualify as
businesses will be capitalized rather than expensed. The adoption did not have
a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Policies (continued)


   Effective January 1, 2017, the Company retrospectively adopted guidance
relating to consolidation. The new guidance does not change the characteristics
of a primary beneficiary under current GAAP. It changes how a reporting entity
evaluates whether it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity
("VIE") by changing how a reporting entity that is a single decisionmaker of a
VIE handles indirect interests in the entity held through related parties that
are under common control with the reporting entity. The adoption did not have a
material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

   Effective January 1, 2016, the Company retrospectively adopted guidance
relating to short-duration contracts. The new guidance requires insurance
entities to provide users of financial statements with more transparent
information about initial claim estimates and subsequent adjustments to these
estimates, including information on: (i) reconciling from the claim development
table to the balance sheet liability, (ii) methodologies and judgments in
estimating claims, and (iii) the timing, and frequency of claims. The adoption
did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements other
than expanded disclosures in Note 2.

   Effective January 1, 2016, the Company retrospectively adopted new guidance
relating to the consolidation of certain entities. The objective of the new
standard is to improve targeted areas of the consolidation guidance and to
reduce the number of consolidation models. The new consolidation standard
provides guidance on how a reporting entity (i) evaluates whether the entity
should consolidate limited partnerships and similar entities, (ii) assesses
whether the fees paid to a decisionmaker or service provider are variable
interests in a VIE, and (iii) assesses the variable interests in a VIE held by
related parties of the reporting entity. The new guidance also eliminates the
VIE consolidation model based on majority exposure to variability that applied
to certain investment companies and similar entities. The adoption of the new
guidance did not impact which entities are consolidated by the Company. The
consolidated VIE assets and liabilities and unconsolidated VIE carrying amounts
and maximum exposure to loss as of December 31, 2016, disclosed in Note 5,
reflect the application of the new guidance.

Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

   In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
new guidance on reporting comprehensive income (Accounting Standards Update
("ASU") 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220):
Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from AOCI). The new guidance is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim
periods within those fiscal years and should be applied either in the period of
adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of
the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate or law in U.S. Tax
Reform is recognized. Early adoption is permitted. Current GAAP guidance
requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates on deferred tax
liabilities or assets to be included in income from continuing operations in
the reporting period that includes the enactment date, even if the related
income tax effects were originally charged or credited directly to accumulated
OCI ("AOCI"). The new guidance allows a reclassification of AOCI to retained
earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from U.S. Tax Reform. Also, the new
guidance requires certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. The Company
will early adopt the new guidance in the first quarter of 2018. The Company
expects the impact of the new guidance at adoption will be a decrease to
retained earnings as of January 1, 2018 of $32 million with a corresponding
increase to AOCI.

   In August 2017, the FASB issued new guidance on hedging activities
(ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to
Accounting for Hedging Activities). The new guidance is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal
years and should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a
cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. Early adoption is permitted.
The new guidance simplifies the application of hedge accounting in certain
situations and amends the hedge accounting model to enable entities to better
portray the economics of their risk management activities in the financial
statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance
on its consolidated financial statements.

   In March 2017, the FASB issued new guidance on purchased callable debt
securities (ASU 2017-08, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs
(Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt
Securities). The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years and should be
applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect
adjustment to retained earnings. Early adoption is permitted. The ASU shortens
the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium
and requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. However,
the new guidance does not require an accounting change for securities held at a
discount whose discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated
financial statements.

Policies (continued)


   In February 2017, the FASB issued new guidance on derecognition of
nonfinancial assets (ASU 2017-05, Other Income-Gains and Losses from the
Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of
Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial
Assets). The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption
is permitted for interim or annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2016. The guidance may be applied retrospectively for all periods
presented or retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained
earnings at the date of adoption. The new guidance clarifies the scope and
accounting of a financial asset that meets the definition of an "in-substance
nonfinancial asset" and defines the term, "in-substance nonfinancial asset."
The ASU also adds guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The
adoption of the new guidance will not have a material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

   In November 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on restricted cash
(ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): A consensus of the FASB
Emerging Issues Task Force). The new guidance is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal
years, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is
permitted. The new guidance requires that a statement of cash flows explain the
change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts
generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. As a
result, the new guidance requires that amounts generally described as
restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash
and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period
total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The new guidance does not
provide a definition of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The
adoption of the new guidance will not have a material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

   In October 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on tax accounting for
intra-entity transfers of assets (ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740):
Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory). The new guidance is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim
periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied on a modified
retrospective basis. The Company will apply the guidance as of January 1, 2018.
Current guidance prohibits the recognition of current and deferred income taxes
for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset has been sold to an outside
party. The new guidance requires an entity to recognize the income tax
consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when
the transfer occurs. Based on the Company's assessment of the intra-entity
asset transfers and related deferred income taxes that are in scope, the
Company expects the adoption of the new guidance will not have a material
impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

   In August 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on cash flow statement
presentation (ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification
of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments). The new guidance is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those
fiscal years, and should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented.
Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period. The new guidance
addresses diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are
presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The adoption of the
new guidance will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.

   In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on measurement of credit losses
on financial instruments (ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses
(Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments). The new
guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019,
including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is
permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years,
beginning after December 15, 2018. This ASU replaces the incurred loss
impairment methodology with one that reflects expected credit losses. The
measurement of expected credit losses should be based on historical loss
information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The
new guidance requires that an OTTI on a debt security will be recognized as an
allowance going forward, such that improvements in expected future cash flows
after an impairment will no longer be reflected as a prospective yield
adjustment through net investment income, but rather a reversal of the previous
impairment and recognized through realized investment gains and losses. The
guidance also requires enhanced disclosures. The Company has assessed the asset
classes impacted by the new guidance and is currently assessing the accounting
and reporting system changes that will be required to comply with the new
guidance. The Company believes that the most significant impact upon adoption
will be to its mortgage loan investments. The Company is continuing to evaluate
the overall impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

   In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on leasing transactions
(ASU 2016-02, Leases - Topic 842). The new guidance is effective for the fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those
fiscal years, and requires a modified retrospective transition approach. Early
adoption is permitted. The new guidance requires a lessee to recognize assets
and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Leases
would be classified as finance or operating leases and both types of leases
will be recognized on the balance sheet. Lessor accounting will remain largely
unchanged from current guidance except for certain targeted changes. The new
guidance will also require new qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The
Company's implementation efforts are primarily focused on the review of its
existing lease contracts, identification of other contracts that may fall under
the scope of the new guidance, and performing a gap analysis on the current
state of lease-related activities compared with the future state of
lease-related activities. The Company is currently evaluating the overall
impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

   In January 2016, the FASB issued new guidance (ASU 2016-01, Financial
Instruments-Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities, as amended by ASU 2018-03, Financial
Instruments-Overall: Technical Corrections and Improvements, issued in February
2018) on the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The new
guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017,
including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is
permitted for the instrument-specific credit risk provision. The new guidance
changes the current accounting guidance related to (i) the classification and
measurement of certain equity investments, (ii) the presentation of changes in
the fair value of financial liabilities measured under the fair value option
("FVO") that are due to instrument-specific credit risk, and (iii) certain
disclosures associated with the fair value of financial instruments.
Additionally, there will no longer be a requirement to assess equity securities
for impairment since such securities will be measured at fair value through net
income. The adoption of the new guidance will not have a material impact on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.

   In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition
standard (ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Topic 606),
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim
periods within those fiscal years. The Company will apply the guidance
retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of January 1, 2018. The
new guidance supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under
U.S. GAAP. However, it does not impact the accounting for insurance and
investment contracts within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification
(ASC) Topic 944, Financial Services - Insurance, leases, financial instruments
and certain guarantees. For those contracts that are impacted, the new guidance
requires an entity to recognize revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or
services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the
entity expects to be entitled, in exchange for those goods or services. The
Company did not identify any material revenue streams within the scope of the
guidance. The modified retrospective adoption as of January 1, 2018, did not
have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position and the
Company has not identified any material prospective changes in the recognition
and measurement of other revenue.

(2)Defined as the guarantee amount less the account value, as of the balance

   incur if death claims were filed on all contracts on the balance sheet date.

Obligations Assumed Under Structured Settlement Assignments

   The Company assumed structured settlement claim obligations when operating
solely as an assignment company. These liabilities are measured at the present
value of the periodic claims to be provided and reported as other
policy-related balances. The Company received a fee for assuming these claim
obligations and, as the assignee of the claim, is legally obligated to ensure
periodic payments are made to the claimant. The Company purchased annuities

   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
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, morbidity, persistency and investment returns at
policy issuance, 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 unless the DAC balance
is deemed to be unrecoverable from future expected profits. Absent a premium
deficiency, variability in amortization after policy issuance is caused only by
variability in premium volumes.

3. Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs (continued)

Fixed and Variable Universal Life 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 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, and the effect of
certain economic variables, such as inflation. Of these factors, the Company
anticipates that investment returns, expenses and persistency are reasonably
likely to significantly impact 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 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.

   The Company also periodically reviews other long-term assumptions underlying
the projections of estimated gross profits. These assumptions primarily relate
to investment returns, interest crediting rates, mortality, persistency,
policyholder behavior and expenses to administer business. Management annually
updates assumptions used in the calculation of estimated gross profits which
may have significantly changed. If the update of assumptions causes expected
future gross 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 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
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.

4. 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 affiliated and unaffiliated
companies. The Company participates in reinsurance activities in order to limit
losses and minimize exposure to significant risks.

   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.

   For its individual life insurance products, the Company has historically
reinsured the mortality risk on new individual life insurance policies
primarily on an excess of retention basis. In addition, the Company has
reinsured a significant portion of the mortality risk on its individual
universal life insurance policies. Placement of reinsurance is done primarily
on an automatic basis and also on a facultative basis for risks with specified
characteristics. The Company evaluates its reinsurance programs routinely and
may increase or decrease its retention at any time.

   The Company has reinsured certain of its annuity and supplementary contract
business to an affiliate.

   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 remaining 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. These reinsurance recoverable balances are stated net of
allowances for uncollectible reinsurance, which at both December 31, 2017 and
2016, were not significant.

   The Company had $234 million and $228 million of net unsecured unaffiliated
ceded reinsurance recoverable balances at December 31, 2017 and 2016,
respectively. Of these totals, 100% were with the Company's five largest
unaffiliated ceded reinsurers at both December 31, 2017 and 2016.

possibility of a significant loss from insurance risk are recorded using the
deposit method of accounting. The deposit assets on reinsurance are the result
of affiliated reinsurance transactions. See "-- Related Party Reinsurance
Transactions." The deposit liabilities on reinsurance were $2 million and
$1 million at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Related Party Reinsurance Transactions

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 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.

  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 Structured Securities are estimated using inputs
 obtained from third-party specialists and based on management's knowledge of
 the current market. For credit-sensitive Structured Securities and certain
 prepayment-sensitive securities, the effective yield is recalculated on a
 prospective basis. For all other Structured Securities, the effective yield is
 recalculated on a retrospective basis.

  Maturities of Fixed Maturity Securities

    The amortized cost and estimated fair value of fixed maturity securities,
 by contractual maturity date, were as follows at December 31, 2017:



                                                                    Due After Five

    Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities due to the
 exercise of call or prepayment options. Fixed maturity securities not due at a
 single maturity date have been presented in the year of final contractual
 maturity. Structured Securities are shown separately, as they are not due at a
 single maturity.

 losses of fixed maturity securities AFS in an unrealized loss position,

   Evaluation and Measurement Methodologies

      Management considers a wide range of factors about the security issuer
   and uses its best judgment in evaluating the cause of the decline in the
   estimated fair value of the security and in assessing the prospects for
   near-term recovery. 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 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;
   (viii) the potential for impairments due to weakening of foreign currencies
   on non-functional currency denominated fixed maturity securities that are
   near maturity; and (ix) 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, state and political subdivision securities and
       foreign government 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.

      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 concluded that these securities were not
   other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2017. Future OTTI will
   depend primarily on economic fundamentals, issuer performance (including
   changes in the present value of future cash flows expected to be collected),
   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 decreased
   $11 million during the year ended December 31, 2017 to $16 million. The
   decrease in gross unrealized losses for the year ended December 31, 2017,
   was primarily attributable to narrowing credit spreads and strengthening
   foreign currencies on non-functional currency denominated fixed maturity
   securities.

      At December 31, 2017, $1 million of the total $16 million of gross
   unrealized losses were from three below investment grade fixed maturity
   securities with an unrealized loss position of 20% or more of amortized cost
   for six months or greater. Unrealized losses on below investment grade fixed
   maturity securities are principally related to foreign corporate securities
   (primarily industrial securities) and non-agency RMBS (primarily alternative
   residential mortgage loans) and are the result of significantly wider credit
   spreads resulting from higher risk premiums since purchase, in part due to
   economic and market uncertainties. Management evaluates foreign corporate
   securities based on factors such as expected cash flows and the financial
   condition and near-term and long-term prospects of the issuers and evaluates
   non-agency RMBS based on actual and projected cash flows 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.

     The Company purchases unaffiliated mortgage loans under a master
  participation agreement, from an affiliate, simultaneously with the
  affiliate's origination or acquisition of mortgage loans. The aggregate
  amount of unaffiliated mortgage loan participation interests purchased by the
  Company from an affiliate during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and
  2015 were $118 million, $59 million and $15 million, respectively. In
  connection with the mortgage loan participations, the affiliate collected
  mortgage loan principal and interest payments on the Company's behalf and the
  affiliate remitted such payments to the Company in the amount of $43 million,
  $81 million and $71 million during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016
  and 2015, respectively.

  Mortgage Loans, Valuation Allowance and Impaired Loans by Portfolio Segment

     At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had no impaired mortgage loans,
  all mortgage loans were evaluated collectively for credit losses and the
  related valuation allowances were maintained primarily for the commercial
  mortgage loans. For both the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the
  change in valuation allowance relating to provision (release) was less than
  $1 million.

   Valuation Allowance Methodology

      Mortgage loans are considered to be impaired when it is probable that,
   based upon current information and events, the Company will be unable to
   collect all amounts due under the loan agreement. 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 capture 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.

      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. 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. All
   agricultural mortgage loans are monitored on an ongoing basis. 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 the values utilized in calculating the ratio
   are updated annually on a rolling basis, with a portion of the portfolio
   updated each quarter. In addition, the loan-to-value ratio is routinely
   updated for all but the lowest risk loans as part of the Company's ongoing
   review of its commercial mortgage loan portfolio.

      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.

  Past Due and Nonaccrual Mortgage Loans

     The Company has a high quality, well performing mortgage loan portfolio,
  with all mortgage loans classified as performing at both December 31, 2017
  and 2016. The Company defines delinquency consistent with industry practice,
  when mortgage loans are past due as follows: commercial mortgage loans -- 60
  days and agricultural mortgage loans -- 90 days. The Company had no mortgage
  loans past due and no nonaccrual mortgage loans at December 31, 2017 and 2016.

  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 concessions granted are 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. There were no
  mortgage loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring for both the years
  ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Real Estate

   Real estate investments consisted of traditional real estate at December 31,
2017 and 2016.

   The Company classifies within traditional real estate its investment in
income-producing real estate, which is comprised primarily of wholly-owned real
estate and joint ventures with interest in single property income-producing
real estate.

   The wholly-owned real estate within traditional real estate is net of
accumulated depreciation of $47 million and $39 million at December 31, 2017
and 2016, respectively. Related depreciation expense on wholly-owned real
estate was $9 million, $6 million and $10 million for the year ended
December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

   There were no real estate impairments recognized for both the year ended
December 31, 2017 and 2016.

   As of December 31, 2017, total minimum rental payments to be received in the
future under non-cancelable leases was $17 million, $22 million, $23 million,
$23 million, $23 million and $89 million for the years ended December 31, 2018,
2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and years thereafter, respectively.

Other Invested Assets

   Other invested assets is comprised primarily of leveraged leases and
freestanding derivatives with positive estimated fair values (see Note 6).

     Rental receivables are generally due in periodic installments. The payment
  periods range from one to four 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.
  Rental receivables, which were less than $1 million at both December 31, 2017
  and 2016, were performing.

     The deferred income tax liability related to leveraged leases was
  $58 million and $102 million at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

     The components of income from investments in leveraged leases, excluding
  net investment gains (losses), were as follows:

(1)The related loaned security could be returned to the Company on the next
   business day, which would require the Company to immediately return the cash
   collateral.

   If the Company is required to return significant amounts of cash collateral
on short notice and is forced to sell securities to meet the return obligation,
it may have difficulty selling such collateral that is invested in securities
in a timely manner, be forced to sell securities in a volatile or illiquid
market for less than what otherwise would have been realized under normal
market conditions, or both. The estimated fair value of the securities on loan
related to the cash collateral on open at December 31, 2017 was $72 million,
all of which were U.S. government and agency securities which, if put back to
the Company, could be immediately sold to satisfy the cash requirement.

   The reinvestment portfolio acquired with the cash collateral consisted
principally of fixed maturity securities (including agency RMBS, ABS, CMBS,
foreign corporate securities) and cash equivalents with 44% invested in agency
RMBS, cash equivalents, U.S. government and agency securities or held in cash.
If the securities on loan or the reinvestment portfolio become less liquid, the
Company has the liquidity resources of most of its general account available to
meet any potential cash demands when securities on loan are put back to the
Company.

Variable Interest Entities

   The Company has invested in legal entities 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, 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.

  Consolidated VIEs

     There were no VIEs for which the Company has concluded that it is the
  primary beneficiary and which are consolidated at December 31, 2017 and 2016.

  Unconsolidated VIEs

     The carrying amount and maximum exposure to loss relating to VIEs in which
  the Company holds a significant variable interest but is not the primary
  beneficiary and which have not been consolidated were as follows at:

5. Investments (continued)

(1)The maximum exposure to loss relating to fixed maturity securities AFS is
   equal to their carrying amounts or the carrying amounts of retained
   interests. The maximum exposure to loss relating to other limited
   partnership interests and real estate joint ventures is equal to the
   carrying amounts plus any unfunded commitments. 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 in mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities issued
   by trusts that do not have substantial equity.

Related Party Investment Transactions

   The Company transfers invested assets, primarily consisting of fixed
maturity securities, to and from affiliates. The estimated fair value of
invested assets transferred from affiliates was $113 million for the year ended
December 31, 2017.

   As a structured settlements assignment company, the Company purchased
annuities from an affiliate to fund the periodic structured settlement claim
payment obligations it assumed. Each annuity purchased is contractually
designated to the assumed claim obligation it funds. The aggregate contract
values of annuities funding structured settlement claims are recorded as an
asset for which the Company has also recorded an unpaid claim obligation of
equal amount. Such aggregated contract values were $4.3 billion and
$4.4 billion at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The related net
investment income and corresponding policyholder benefits and claims recognized
were $277 million, $276 million and $288 million for the years ended
December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 respectively.

   The Company receives investment administrative services from an affiliate.
The related investment administrative service charges were $6 million,
$6 million and $5 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015,
respectively.

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 with values 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 and option contracts. To a lesser extent, the Company uses credit
default swaps and structured interest rate swaps to synthetically replicate
investment risks and returns which are not readily available in the cash
markets.

  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 and
  floors.

     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 hedging relationships.

     The Company purchases interest rate 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 floors by entering into offsetting written floors. The
  Company utilizes interest rate floors in nonqualifying hedging relationships.

     A synthetic guaranteed interest contract ("GIC") is a contract that
  simulates the performance of a traditional GIC through the use of financial
  instruments. Under a synthetic GIC, the policyholder owns the underlying
  assets. The Company guarantees a rate return on those assets for a premium.
  Synthetic GICs are not designated as hedging instruments.

  Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Derivatives

     The Company uses foreign currency swaps and foreign currency forwards to
  reduce the risk from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates
  associated with its assets 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
  fair value, cash flow and nonqualifying hedging relationships.

     In a foreign currency forward transaction, the Company agrees with another
  party to deliver a specified amount of an identified currency at a specified
  future date. The price is agreed upon at the time of the contract and payment
  for such a contract is made at the specified future date. The Company
  utilizes foreign currency forwards in nonqualifying hedging relationships.

         Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (continued)

6. Derivatives (continued)

  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 amount 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 and involuntary restructuring for corporate obligors, as well
as repudiation, moratorium or governmental intervention for sovereign obligors.
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 nonqualifying 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. government and agency
securities, or other fixed maturity securities. These credit default swaps are
not designated as hedging instruments.

6. Derivatives (continued)


   Based on gross notional amounts, a substantial portion of the Company's
derivatives was not designated or did not qualify as part of a hedging
relationship at both December 31, 2017 and 2016. 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; and (iii) 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 nonqualified derivatives, changes in market
factors can lead to the recognition of fair value changes on the statement of
operations without an offsetting gain or loss recognized in earnings for the
item being hedged.

Fair Value Hedges

   The Company designates and accounts for the following as fair value hedges
when they have met the requirements of fair value hedging: (i) interest rate
swaps to convert fixed rate assets to floating rate; and (ii) foreign currency
swaps to hedge the foreign currency fair value exposure of foreign currency
denominated assets.

   The amounts the Company recognized in net derivative gains (losses)
representing the ineffective portion of all fair value hedges were less than
$1 million and ($1) million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016,
respectively. The amounts recognized in net derivative gains (losses)
representing the ineffective portion of all fair value hedges was not
significant for the year ended December 31, 2015. Changes in the estimated fair
value of the derivatives recognized in net derivative gains (losses) were ($2)
million, $3 million and $1 million for each of the years ended December 31,
2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Changes in the estimated fair value of the
hedged items recognized in net derivative gains (losses) were $2 million, ($4)
million, and ($1) million for each of the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016
and 2015, respectively.

   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 foreign currency swaps to hedge the
foreign currency cash flow exposure of foreign currency denominated assets, as
cash flow hedges, when they have met the requirements of cash flow hedging.

   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). For both the
years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no amounts reclassified into
net derivative gains (losses) related to such discontinued cash flow hedges.
For the year ended December 31, 2015, the amount reclassified into net
derivative gains (losses) related to such discontinued cash flow hedges was not
significant.

   There were no hedged forecasted transactions, other than the receipt or
payment of variable interest payments, for each of the years ended December 31,
2017, 2016 and 2015.

   At December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, the balance in AOCI associated with
foreign currency swaps designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges were
($1) million, $7 million, and $6 million, respectively .

   For the year ended December 31, 2017, there were ($10) million of gains
(losses) deferred in AOCI related to foreign currency swaps. For both the years
ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, there were $4 million of gains (losses)
deferred in AOCI related to foreign currency swaps. For the years ended
December 31, 2017 and 2016, the amounts reclassified to net derivative gains
(losses) related to foreign currency swaps were ($2) million and $3 million,
respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the amounts reclassified to
net derivative gains (losses) related to foreign currency swaps were not
significant. For the year ended December 31, 2017, there were no amounts
reclassified to net investment income related to foreign currency swaps. For
both the years ended December 31, 2016, and 2015 the amounts reclassified to
net investment income related to foreign currency swaps were not significant.
For the year ended December 31, 2017 the amount recognized in net derivative
gains (losses) which represented the ineffective portion of all cash flow
hedges was less than $1 million. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015
the amounts recognized in net derivative gains (losses) which represented the
ineffective portion of all cash flow hedges were not significant.

   All components of each derivative's gain or loss were included in the
assessment of hedge effectiveness.

   At December 31, 2017, the amounts of deferred net gains (losses) on
derivatives in AOCI that were expected to be reclassified to earnings within
the next 12 months were less than $1 million.

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 nonqualifying
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 $87 million at both
December 31, 2017 and 2016. The Company can terminate these contracts at any
time through cash settlement with the counterparty at an amount equal to the
then current estimated fair value of the credit default swaps. At December 31,
2017 and 2016, the Company would have received $2 million and $1 million,
respectively, to terminate all of these contracts.

   The following table presents the estimated fair value, maximum amount of
future payments and weighted average years to maturity of written credit
default swaps at:

Credit Risk on Freestanding Derivatives

   The Company may be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of
nonperformance by its 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
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. Such positions are marked to market and margined on a daily
basis (both initial margin and variation margin), 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.

   The estimated fair values of the Company's net derivative assets and net
derivative liabilities after the application of master netting agreements and
collateral were as follows at:



                                                                                                December 31,

6. Derivatives (continued)

(1)Derivative liabilities included (income) or expense accruals reported in
   accrued investment income or in other liabilities were less than $1 million
   and $1 million at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. At December 31,
   2017, the derivative assets included in income or (expense) accruals
   reported in accrued investment income or other liabilities were less than
   $1 million. At December 31, 2016, there were no derivative assets included
   in income or (expense) accruals reported in accrued investment income or
   other liabilities.

(2)Estimated fair value of derivatives is limited to the amount that is subject
   to set-off and includes income or expense accruals.

(3)Cash collateral received by the Company for OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared
   derivatives is included in cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments
   or in fixed maturity securities, and the obligation to return it is included
   in payables for collateral under securities loaned and other transactions on
   the balance sheet. The receivable for the return of cash collateral provided
   by the Company is inclusive of initial margin on OTC-cleared derivatives and
   is included in premiums, reinsurance and other receivables on the balance
   sheet. 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, 2017 and 2016, the Company received excess cash
   collateral of $5 million and $1 million, respectively. At December 31, 2017
   and 2016, the Company did not provide excess cash collateral.

(4)Securities collateral received by the Company is held in separate custodial
   accounts and is not recorded on the balance sheet. Subject to certain
   constraints, the Company is permitted by contract to sell or re-pledge this
   collateral, but at December 31, 2017 and 2016, none of the collateral had
   been sold or re-pledged. Securities collateral pledged by the Company is
   reported in fixed maturity securities on the balance sheet. Subject to
   certain constraints, the counterparties are permitted by contract to sell or
   re-pledge 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, 2017,
   the Company did not receive excess securities collateral, and provided
   excess securities collateral with an estimated fair value of $4 million for
   its OTC-bilateral derivatives. At December 31, 2016, the Company did not
   receive or provide excess securities collateral for its OTC-bilateral
   derivatives. At both December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not receive
   excess securities collateral, and provided excess securities collateral with
   an estimated fair value of $2 million, for its OTC-cleared derivatives,
   which are not included in the table above due to the foregoing limitation.

   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
collateral amount owed by that counterparty reaches a minimum transfer amount.
In addition, certain of the Company's netting agreements for derivatives
contain provisions that require both MTL and the counterparty to maintain a
specific investment grade credit rating from each of Moody's and S&P. If a
party's credit or financial strength rating, as applicable, were to fall below
that specific investment grade 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.

   At December 31, 2017 , the estimated fair value of the Company's
OTC-bilateral derivatives that are in a net liability position after
considering the effect of netting arrangements were $1 million and was not
significant at December 31, 2016. At December 31, 2017, the estimated fair
value of the collateral pledged was less than $1 million and was not
significant at December 31, 2016. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, there was no
incremental collateral that MTL would be required to provide if there was a

7. Fair Value

   When developing estimated fair values, the Company considers three broad
valuation approaches: (i) the market approach, (ii) the income approach, and
(iii) the cost approach. The Company determines the most appropriate valuation
approach 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.

   Considerable judgment is often required in interpreting market data to
develop estimates of fair value, and the use of different assumptions or
valuation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value
amounts.

   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 the Audit Committee of MetLife, Inc.'s Board
   of Directors 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 at December 31, 2016. Independent non-binding
   broker quotations were not utilized at December 31, 2017.

      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, 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.

--------
(1)Estimated fair value equals carrying value, based on the value of the
   underlying assets, including mutual funds.

 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. 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. 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.

   Freestanding Derivatives Valuation Approaches and Key Inputs

     Level 2

        This level includes all types of derivatives utilized by the Company.
     These derivatives are principally valued using the income approach.

        Freestanding 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. Key inputs are as follows:



             Instrument                        Interest Rate                Foreign Currency              Credit

  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.

   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 both December 31, 2017
   and 2016.

   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.

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 and payables for collateral under
securities loaned and other transactions. The estimated fair value of the
excluded financial instruments, which are primarily classified in Level 2,
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 tables
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

   The methods, assumptions and significant valuation techniques and inputs
used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are summarized as
follows:

  Mortgage Loans

     The estimated fair value of mortgage loans 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.

7. Fair Value (continued)


 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.

 Premiums, Reinsurance and Other Receivables

    Premiums, reinsurance and other receivables are comprised of certain
 amounts recoverable under reinsurance agreements.

    Amounts recoverable under ceded 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.

 Policyholder Account Balances

    These policyholder account balances include investment contracts which
 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.

 Other Liabilities

    Other liabilities consist primarily of amounts due for securities purchased
 but not yet settled. 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.

8. Equity

Statutory Equity and Income

   The state of domicile of MTL 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"), based on the statutory-based filed financial statements.
Companies below specific trigger levels or ratios are classified by their
respective levels, each of which requires specified corrective action. The
minimum level of TAC before corrective action commences is twice ACL RBC ("CAL
RBC"). The CAL RBC ratios for MTL were in excess of 400% at both December 31,
2017 and 2016.

   MTL prepares statutory-basis financial statements in accordance with
statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Delaware
Department of Insurance. 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
the state insurance department may impact the effect of Statutory Codification
on the statutory capital and surplus of MTL.

   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 surplus
notes as surplus instead of debt, 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 MTL 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.

(1)Reflects dividend amounts that may be paid during 2018 without prior
   regulatory approval. However, because dividend tests may be based on
   dividends previously paid over a rolling 12-month period, if paid before a
   specified date during 2018, some or all of such dividends may require
   regulatory approval.

   Under Delaware Insurance Code, MTL is permitted, without prior insurance
regulatory clearance, to pay a stockholder dividend to MetLife, Inc. 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), not including pro rata
distributions of each insurer's own securities. MTL will be permitted to pay a
dividend to MetLife, Inc. 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 "unassigned funds
(surplus)") as of the immediately preceding calendar year requires insurance
regulatory approval. Under Delaware Insurance Code, 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.

   Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
year presentation, which has been revised to align the expense categories with
the Company's businesses. The reclassifications did not result in a change to
total other expenses.

10. Income Tax

   On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law U.S. Tax Reform. U.S.
Tax Reform includes numerous changes in tax law, including a permanent
reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, which took
effect for

   In accordance with SAB 118 issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") in December 2017, the Company has recorded provisional
amounts for certain items for which the income tax accounting is not complete.
For these items, the Company has recorded a reasonable estimate of the tax
effects of U.S. Tax Reform. The estimates will be reported as provisional
amounts during a measurement period, which will not exceed one year from the
date of enactment of U.S. Tax Reform. The Company may reflect adjustments to
its provisional amounts upon obtaining, preparing, or analyzing additional
information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the enactment date
that, if known, would have affected the income tax effects initially reported
as provisional amounts.

   The following item is considered a provisional estimate due to complexities
and ambiguities in U.S. Tax Reform which resulted in incomplete accounting for
the tax effects of these provisions. Further guidance, either legislative or
interpretive, and analysis will be required to complete the accounting for this
item:

   .   Alternative Minimum Tax Credits - U.S. Tax Reform eliminates the
       corporate alternative minimum tax and allows for minimum tax credit
       carryforwards to be used to offset future regular tax or to be refunded
       over the next few years. However, pursuant to the requirements of the
       Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended,
       refund payments issued for corporations claiming refundable prior year
       alternative minimum tax credits are subject to a sequestration rate of
       6.9%. The application of this fee to refunds in future years is subject
       to further guidance. Additionally, the sequestration reduction rate in
       effect at the time is subject to uncertainty. The Company has recorded a
       less than $1 million tax charge included within the deferred tax
       revaluation.

   The provision for income tax was as follows:

   common stock of MetLife Reinsurance Company of Delaware ("MRD"), a
   wholly-owned subsidiary, to MetLife, Inc. in the form of a dividend and
   deferred the related tax benefit. In August 2017, MetLife, Inc. distributed
   MRD to third parties and the Company recognized the deferred tax benefit
   related to the dividend of MRD.

   Deferred income tax represents the tax effect of the differences between the
book and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Net deferred income tax assets

   Tax credit carryforwards of $7 million at December 31, 2017 will expire

   The Company participates in a tax sharing agreement with MetLife, Inc., as
described in Note 1. Pursuant to this tax sharing agreement, the amounts due
from affiliates included $21 million and $1 million for the years ended
December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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 and subsidiary. The
Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, or local income tax
examinations for years prior to 2007.

10. Income Tax (continued)


   The Company's liability for unrecognized tax benefits may increase or
decrease in the next 12 months. For example, federal tax legislation could
impact unrecognized tax benefits. A reasonable estimate of the increase or
decrease cannot be made at this time. However, the Company continues to believe
that the ultimate resolution of the pending issues will not result in a
material change to its consolidated financial statements, although the
resolution of income tax matters could impact the Company's effective tax rate
for a particular future period. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits
for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015.

   The Company classifies interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits
in interest expense, included within other expenses, while penalties are
included in income tax expense. The Company had no interest or penalties for
the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015.

11. Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees

Contingencies

  Litigation

   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 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, investor 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.

Commitments

  Mortgage Loan Commitments

     The Company commits to lend funds under mortgage loan commitments. The
  amounts of these mortgage loan commitments were $6 million at both
  December 31, 2017 and 2016.

  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 $129 million and
  $3 million at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

11. Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees (continued)


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 ranging from
less than $1 million to $1 million, with a cumulative maximum of $2 million,
while in other cases such limitations are not specified or applicable. Since
certain of these obligations 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's recorded liabilities were less than $1 million at both
December 31, 2017 and 2016 for indemnities, guarantees and commitments.

12. 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 personnel and policy administrative functions. The bases for
such charges are modified and adjusted by management when necessary or
appropriate to reflect fairly and equitably the actual cost incurred by the
Company and/or affiliate. Expenses and fees incurred with affiliates related to
these agreements, recorded in other expenses, were $25 million, $13 million and
$13 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Revenues related to a lease agreement with an affiliate, recorded in other
revenues, were $5 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016
and 2015.

   The Company had net receivables (payables) to affiliates, related to the
items discussed above, of $3 million and ($1) million at December 31, 2017 and
2016 respectively.

   See Notes 4 and 5 for additional information on related party transactions.

13. Subsequent Events

   The Company has evaluated events subsequent to December 31, 2017, through
April 13, 2018, which is the date these consolidated financial statements were
available to be issued.

Merger

   In February 2018, the Company's Board of Directors approved the merger of
MTL and General American Life Insurance Company ("GALIC"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of MetLife, Inc. MTL will be the surviving entity and expects to
redomicile to Nebraska. The Company expects the completion of the merger in the
first half of 2018, subject to certain regulatory approvals. At December 31,
2017, GALIC's total stockholder's equity was $2.0 billion.

Consolidated Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 and for the Years Ended December 31, 2017, 2016
and 2015 and Independent Auditors' Report



                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of
General American Life Insurance Company:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of General
American Life Insurance Company and its subsidiary (a wholly-owned subsidiary
of MetLife, Inc.) (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated balance
sheets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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,
2017, 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 General American
Life Insurance Company and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2017, in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Emphasis of Matter

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, 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. Our opinion is not
modified with respect to this matter.

            General American Life Insurance Company and Subsidiary
                 (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.)

                Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies

Business

   General American Life Insurance Company ("General American") and its
subsidiary (collectively, the "Company") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
MetLife, Inc. General American is a Missouri corporation incorporated in 1933.
In December 2016, the Company was distributed as a non-cash extraordinary
dividend from Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ("MLIC") to MetLife, Inc.

   The Company is licensed to conduct business in 49 states, the District of
Columbia and Puerto Rico. The Company provides annuities and universal,
variable and traditional life insurance, although not marketing these products.
The Company actively sells separate account contracts for the investment
management of defined benefit and contribution plan assets. This business
includes certain products to fund corporate-owned life insurance used to
finance nonqualified benefit programs for executives.

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 on 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 these
estimates.

  Consolidation

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
  General American and its subsidiary. 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.
  Generally, the assets of the separate accounts cannot be used to settle the
  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;

   .  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 on 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 on 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.

  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, morbidity, policy lapse, renewal, retirement,
   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, morbidity 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.

      Premium deficiency reserves may also be established for short-duration
   contracts to provide for expected future losses. These reserves are based on
   actuarial estimates of the amount of loss inherent in that period, including
   losses incurred for which claims have not been reported. The provisions for
   unreported claims are calculated using studies that measure the historical
   length of time between the incurred date of a claim and its eventual
   reporting to the Company. Anticipated investment income is considered in the
   calculation of premium deficiency losses for short-duration contracts.

      Liabilities for universal 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 deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC"), and are
   thus subject to the same variability and risk as further discussed herein.
   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 relate to contracts or contract features
   where the Company has no significant insurance risk.

Policies (continued)


   Other Policy-Related Balances

      Other policy-related balances include policy and contract claims,
   policyholder dividends left on deposit, unearned revenue liabilities,
   policyholder dividends due and unpaid and premiums received in advance.

      The liability for policy and contract claims generally relates to
   incurred but not reported ("IBNR") death and disability 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 IBNR 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 and health 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 contracts 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.

      Premiums related to non-medical health and disability contracts are
   recognized on a pro rata basis over the applicable contract term.

      Deposits related to universal life-type and investment-type products are
   credited to policyholder account balances. 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 policyholder account balances.

      All revenues and expenses are presented net of reinsurance, as applicable.

  Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs and Value of Business Acquired

     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; and

   .  other essential direct costs that would not have been incurred had a
      policy not been acquired or renewed.

     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.

     Value of business acquired ("VOBA") is an intangible asset resulting from
  a business combination that represents the excess of book value over the
  estimated fair value of acquired insurance, annuity, and investment-type
  contracts in-force at the acquisition date. The estimated fair value of the
  acquired liabilities is based on projections, by

  each block of business, of future policy and contract charges, premiums,
  mortality and morbidity, separate account performance, surrenders, operating
  expenses, investment returns, nonperformance risk adjustment and other
  factors. Actual experience on the purchased business may vary from these
  projections.

     DAC and VOBA are amortized as follows:

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                        In proportion to the following over
 Products:                              estimated lives of the contracts:
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 .  Nonparticipating and                  Actual and expected future gross
    non-dividend-paying   traditional     premiums.
    contracts:
  . Term insurance
  . Nonparticipating whole life
    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 and VOBA amortization.
  Amortization of DAC and VOBA is included in other expenses.

     The recovery of DAC and VOBA is dependent upon the future profitability of
  the related business. DAC and VOBA are aggregated on the financial statements
  for reporting purposes.

  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.

     For prospective reinsurance of short-duration contracts that meet the
  criteria for reinsurance accounting, amounts paid (received) are recorded as
  ceded (assumed) premiums and ceded (assumed) unearned premiums. Unearned
  premiums are reflected as a component of premiums, reinsurance and other
  receivables (future policy benefits). Such amounts are amortized through
  earned premiums over the remaining contract period in proportion to the
  amount of insurance protection provided. For retroactive reinsurance of
  short-duration contracts that meet the criteria of reinsurance accounting,
  amounts paid (received) in excess of the related insurance liabilities
  ceded (assumed) are recognized immediately as a loss and are reported in the
  appropriate line item within the statement of operations. Any gain on such
  retroactive agreement is deferred and is amortized as part of DAC, primarily
  using the recovery method.

     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.

Policies (continued)


     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.

     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 and Net Investment Gains (Losses)

      Income from investments is reported within net investment income, unless
   otherwise stated herein. Gains and losses on sales of investments,
   impairment losses and changes in valuation allowances are reported within
   net investment gains (losses), 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
   policy-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 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, and is based on the
   estimated economic life of the securities, which for mortgage-backed and
   asset-backed securities considers the estimated timing and amount of
   prepayments of the underlying loans. See Note 5 "-- Fixed Maturity and
   Equity Securities AFS -- Methodology for Amortization of Premium and
   Accretion of Discount on Structured Securities." The amortization of premium
   and accretion of discount of fixed maturity securities also takes into
   consideration call and maturity dates. 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 "-- Fixed
   Maturity and Equity Securities AFS -- 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 exists, 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.

                                      13

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 both 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 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 and accrued interest 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 recorded on a straight-line basis over the
   estimated useful life of the asset (typically 20 to 55 years). Rental income
   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.

   Real Estate Joint Ventures and Other Limited Partnership Interests

      The Company uses the equity method of accounting for equity securities
   when it has significant influence or at least 20% interest and for 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. 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 routinely evaluates its equity 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.

   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.

Policies (continued)


   Other Invested Assets

      Other invested assets consist principally of the following:

   .   Loans to affiliates, which are stated at unpaid principal balance and
       adjusted for any unamortized premium or discount.

   .   Freestanding derivatives with positive estimated fair values which are
       described in "-- Derivatives" below.

   .   Tax credit partnerships which derive a significant 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. See Note 11.

   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. Securities
   loaned under such transactions may be sold or re-pledged by the transferee.
   The Company is liable to return to the counterparties the cash collateral
   received. Security collateral on deposit from counterparties in connection
   with securities lending transactions may not be sold or re-pledged, unless
   the counterparty is in default, and is not reflected on the Company's
   financial statements. The Company monitors the estimated fair value of the
   securities loaned on a daily basis and additional collateral is obtained as
   necessary throughout the duration of the loan. 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 on the Company's balance sheet
   either as assets within other invested assets or as liabilities within other
   liabilities at estimated fair value. The Company does not offset the
   estimated 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 derivative's 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).

   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 estimated fair value of the hedged item attributable to
       the designated risk being hedged.

   .   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).

                                      15



            General American Life Insurance Company and Subsidiary
                 (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.)

         Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (continued)

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies (continued)


      The changes in estimated fair values of the hedging derivatives are
   exclusive of any accruals that are separately reported on 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 on the balance sheet 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 statement 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 transaction will occur on the anticipated date or within
   two months of that date, the derivative continues to be carried on the
   balance sheet 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 on the balance sheet, with
   changes in its estimated fair value recognized in the current period as net
   derivative gains (losses).

   Embedded Derivatives

      The Company 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
       estimated fair value with changes in estimated 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 on the balance sheet 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

                                      16



            General American Life Insurance Company and Subsidiary
                 (A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.)

         Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (continued)

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies (continued)

   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.

  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's judgment are used to determine the estimated
  fair value of assets and liabilities.

  Income Tax

     General American joins with MetLife, Inc. and its includable subsidiaries
  in filing a consolidated U.S. life insurance and non-life insurance 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 General American under the consolidated tax
  return regulations and a tax sharing agreement. Under the consolidated tax
  return regulations, MetLife, Inc. has elected the "percentage method" (and
  100% under such method) of reimbursing companies for tax attributes, e.g.,
  net operating losses. As a result, 100% of tax attributes are reimbursed by
  MetLife, Inc. to the extent that consolidated federal income tax of the
  consolidated federal tax return group is reduced in a year by tax attributes.
  On an annual basis, each of the profitable subsidiaries pays to MetLife, Inc.
  the federal income tax which it would have paid based upon that year's
  taxable income. If General American 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 General American
  when those tax attributes are realized (or realizable) by the consolidated
  federal tax return group, even if General American 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 against deferred tax assets when management determines, based on
  available information, that it is more likely than not that deferred income
  tax assets will not be realized. Significant judgment is required in
  determining whether valuation allowances should be established, as well as
  the amount of such allowances. When making such determination, the Company
  considers many factors, including:

    .  the nature, frequency, and amount of cumulative financial reporting
       income and losses in recent years;

    .  the jurisdiction in which the deferred tax asset was generated;

    .  the length of time that carryforward can be utilized in the various
       taxing jurisdictions;

    .  future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and
       carryforwards;

    .  future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences;

                                      17

Policies (continued)


    .  taxable income in prior carryback years; and

    .  tax planning strategies.

     The Company may be required to change its provision for income taxes 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, the effect of changes
  in tax laws, tax regulations, or interpretations of such laws or regulations,
  is recognized in net income tax expense (benefit) in the period of change.

     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 on the financial
  statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that
  is greater than 50% likely of being 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 expense.

     On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law H.R.1, commonly
  referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("U.S. Tax Reform"). See
  Note 11 for additional information on U.S. Tax Reform and related Staff
  Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 118 provisional amounts.

  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 on 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.

   Policyholder Dividends

      Policyholder dividends are approved annually by General American's board
   of directors. The aggregate amount of policyholder dividends is related to
   actual interest, mortality, morbidity and expense experience for the year,
   as well as management's judgment as to the appropriate level of statutory
   surplus to be retained by General American.

   Foreign Currency

      Assets, liabilities and operations of foreign affiliates are recorded
   based on the functional currency of each entity. The determination of the
   functional currency is made based on the appropriate economic and management
   indicators. The local currencies of foreign operations are the functional
   currencies. Assets and liabilities of foreign affiliates are translated from
   the functional currency to U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at
   each year-end and revenues and expenses 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.

   Employee Benefit Plans

      Eligible employees and retirees of the Company are provided pension,
   postretirement and postemployment benefits under plans sponsored and
   administered by MLIC. The Company's obligation and expense related to these
   benefits is limited to the amount of associated expense allocated from MLIC.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

   Effective January 1, 2017, the Company early adopted guidance relating to
business combinations. The new guidance clarifies the definition of a business
and requires that an entity apply certain criteria in order to determine when a
set of assets and activities qualifies as a business. The adoption of this
standard will result in fewer acquisitions qualifying as businesses and,
accordingly, acquisition costs for those acquisitions that do not qualify as
businesses will be capitalized rather than expensed. The adoption did not have
a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

   Effective January 1, 2017, the Company retrospectively adopted guidance
relating to consolidation. The new guidance does not change the characteristics
of a primary beneficiary under current GAAP. It changes how a reporting entity
evaluates whether it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity
("VIE") by changing how a reporting entity that is a single decisionmaker of a
VIE handles indirect interests in the entity held through related parties that
are under common control with the reporting entity. The adoption did not have a
material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

   Effective January 1, 2016, the Company retrospectively adopted guidance
relating to short-duration contracts. The new guidance requires insurance
entities to provide users of financial statements with more transparent
information about initial claim estimates and subsequent adjustments to these
estimates, including information on: (i) reconciling from the claim development
table to the balance sheet liability, (ii) methodologies and judgments in
estimating claims, and (iii) the timing, and frequency of claims. The adoption
did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements other
than expanded disclosures in Note 2.

   Effective January 1, 2016, the Company retrospectively adopted new guidance
relating to the consolidation of certain entities. The objective of the new
standard is to improve targeted areas of the consolidation guidance and to
reduce the number of consolidation models. The new consolidation standard
provides guidance on how a reporting entity (i) evaluates whether the entity
should consolidate limited partnerships and similar entities, (ii) assesses
whether the fees paid to a decisionmaker or service provider are variable
interests in a VIE, and (iii) assesses the variable interests in a VIE held by
related parties of the reporting entity. The new guidance also eliminates the
VIE consolidation model based on majority exposure to variability that applied
to certain investment companies and similar entities. The adoption did not
impact which entities are consolidated by the Company. The consolidated VIE
assets and liabilities and unconsolidated VIE carrying amounts and maximum
exposure to loss as of December 31, 2016, disclosed in Note 5, reflect the
application of the new guidance.

   Effective January 3, 2017, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange ("CME") amended
its rulebook, resulting in the characterization of variation margin transfers
as settlement payments, as opposed to adjustments to collateral. These
amendments impacted the accounting treatment of the Company's centrally cleared
derivatives for which the CME serves as the central clearing party. As of the
effective date, the application of the amended rulebook did not have a material
impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

   In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
new guidance on reporting comprehensive income (Accounting Standards Update
("ASU") 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220):
Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from AOCI). The new guidance is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim
periods within those fiscal years and should be applied either in the period of
adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of
the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate or law in U.S. Tax
Reform is recognized. Early adoption is permitted. Current GAAP guidance
requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates on deferred tax
liabilities or assets to be included in income from

continuing operations in the reporting period that includes the enactment date,
even if the related income tax effects were originally charged or credited
directly to accumulated OCI ("AOCI"). The new guidance allows a
reclassification of AOCI to retained earnings for stranded tax effects
resulting from U.S. Tax Reform. Also, the new guidance requires certain
disclosures about stranded tax effects. The Company will early adopt the new
guidance in 2018. The Company expects the impact of the new guidance at
adoption will be a decrease to retained earnings as of January 1, 2018 of
$79 million with a corresponding increase to AOCI.

   In August 2017, the FASB issued new guidance on hedging activities
(ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to
Accounting for Hedging Activities). The new guidance is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal
years and should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a
cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. Early adoption is permitted.
The new guidance simplifies the application of hedge accounting in certain
situations and amends the hedge accounting model to enable entities to better
portray the economics of their risk management activities in the financial
statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance
on its consolidated financial statements.

   In March 2017, the FASB issued new guidance on purchased callable debt
securities (ASU 2017-08, Receivables -Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs
(Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities).
The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years and should be applied on a
modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained
earnings. Early adoption is permitted. The ASU shortens the amortization period
for certain callable debt securities held at a premium and requires the premium
to be amortized to the earliest call date. However, the new guidance does not
require an accounting change for securities held at a discount whose discount
continues to be amortized to maturity. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

   In February 2017, the FASB issued new guidance on derecognition of
nonfinancial assets (ASU 2017-05, Other Income -Gains and Losses from the
Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of
Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial
Assets). The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption
is permitted for interim or annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2016. The guidance may be applied retrospectively for all periods
presented or retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained
earnings at the date of adoption. The new guidance clarifies the scope and
accounting of a financial asset that meets the definition of an "in-substance
nonfinancial asset" and defines the term, "in-substance nonfinancial asset."
The ASU also adds guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The
adoption of the new guidance will not have a material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

   In November 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on restricted cash
(ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): A consensus of the FASB
Emerging Issues Task Force). The new guidance is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal
years, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is
permitted. The new guidance requires that a statement of cash flows explain the
change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts
generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. As a
result, the new guidance requires that amounts generally described as
restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash
and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period
total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The new guidance does not
provide a definition of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The
adoption of the new guidance will not have a material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

   In October 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on tax accounting for
intra-entity transfers of assets (ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740):
Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory). The new guidance is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim
periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied on a modified
retrospective basis. The Company will apply the guidance as of January 1, 2018.
Current guidance prohibits the recognition of current and deferred income taxes
for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset has been sold to an outside
party. The new guidance requires an entity to recognize the income tax
consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when
the transfer occurs. Based on the Company's assessment of the intra-entity
asset transfers and related deferred income taxes that are in scope, the
Company expects the adoption of the new guidance will not have a material
impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Policies (continued)


   In August 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on cash flow statement
presentation (ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification
of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments). The new guidance is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those
fiscal years, and should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented.
Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period. The new guidance
addresses diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are
presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The adoption of the
new guidance will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.

   In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on measurement of credit losses
on financial instruments (ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses
(Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments). The new
guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019,
including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is
permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years,
beginning after December 15, 2018. This ASU replaces the incurred loss
impairment methodology with one that reflects expected credit losses. The
measurement of expected credit losses should be based on historical loss
information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The
new guidance requires that an OTTI on a debt security will be recognized as an
allowance going forward, such that improvements in expected future cash flows
after an impairment will no longer be reflected as a prospective yield
adjustment through net investment income, but rather a reversal of the previous
impairment and recognized through realized investment gains and losses. The
guidance also requires enhanced disclosures. The Company has assessed the asset
classes impacted by the new guidance and is currently assessing the accounting
and reporting system changes that will be required to comply with the new
guidance. The Company believes that the most significant impact upon adoption
will be to its mortgage loan investments. The Company is continuing to evaluate
the overall impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

   In January 2016, the FASB issued new guidance (ASU 2016-01, Financial
Instruments-Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities, as amended by ASU 2018-03, Financial Instruments
Overall: Technical Corrections and Improvements, issued in February 2018) on
the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The new guidance is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim
periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for the
instrument-specific credit risk provision. The new guidance changes the current
accounting guidance related to (i) the classification and measurement of
certain equity investments, (ii) the presentation of changes in the fair value
of financial liabilities measured under the fair value option that are due to
instrument-specific credit risk, and (iii) certain disclosures associated with
the fair value of financial instruments. Additionally, there will no longer be
a requirement to assess equity securities for impairment since such securities
will be measured at fair value through net income. The Company has assessed the
population of financial instruments that are subject to the new guidance and
has determined that the most significant impact will be the requirement to
report changes in fair value in net income each reporting period for all equity
securities currently classified as AFS. The Company will utilize a modified
retrospective approach to adopt the new guidance effective January 1, 2018. The
expected impact related to the change in accounting for equity securities AFS
will be $2 million of net unrealized investment gains, net of income tax, which
will be reclassified from AOCI to retained earnings.

   In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition
standard (ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Topic 606),
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim
periods within those fiscal years. The Company will apply the guidance
retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of January 1, 2018. The
new guidance supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under
U.S. GAAP. However, it does not impact the accounting for insurance and
investment contracts within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification
(ASC) Topic 944, Financial Services - Insurance, leases, financial instruments
and certain guarantees. For those contracts that are impacted, the new guidance
requires an entity to recognize revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or
services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the
entity expects to be entitled, in exchange for those goods or services. The
Company identified revenue streams within the scope of the guidance that are
all included within other revenues in the consolidated statements of operations
and evaluated the related contracts, primarily consisting of distribution and
administrative services fees. As other revenues represents less than 1% of
consolidated total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2017, the modified
retrospective adoption as of January 1, 2018, did not have a material impact on
the Company's consolidated financial position and the Company has not
identified any material prospective changes in the recognition and measurement
of other revenue.

Guarantees

   The Company issued annuity contracts that apply a lower rate on funds
deposited if the contractholder elects to surrender the contract for cash and a
higher rate if the contractholder elects to annuitize. These guarantees include
benefits that are payable in the event of death, maturity or at annuitization.
Additionally, the Company issued universal life contracts where the Company
contractually guarantees to the contractholder a secondary guarantee benefit.

(2)During 2017, 2016 and 2015, as a result of changes in estimates of insured
   events in the respective prior year, claims and claim adjustment expenses
   associated with prior years increased due to events incurred in prior years,
   but reported during the current year.

Separate Accounts

   Separate account assets and liabilities include two categories of account
types: pass-through separate accounts totaling $1.7 billion and $737 million at
December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, for which the policyholder assumes
all investment risk, and separate accounts for which the Company contractually
guarantees either a minimum return or account value to the policyholder which
totaled $127 million and $87 million at December 31, 2017 and 2016,
respectively. The latter category consisted primarily of bank-owned life
insurance. The average interest rate credited on these contracts was 3.72% and
1.88% at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

   For each of the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, there were no
investment gains (losses) on transfers of assets from the general account to
the separate accounts.

3. Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs and Value of Business Acquired

   See Note 1 for a description of capitalized acquisition costs.

Nonparticipating and Non-Dividend-Paying Traditional Contracts

   The Company amortizes DAC and VOBA related to these contracts (term
insurance and nonparticipating whole life insurance) over the appropriate
premium paying period in proportion to the 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
(as it relates to VOBA), 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 or VOBA 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 and VOBA 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
and VOBA 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 and VOBA amortization is re-estimated and adjusted by a cumulative charge
or credit to current operations. When actual gross margins exceed those
previously estimated, the DAC and VOBA 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 and VOBA 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 and VOBA balances.

3. Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs and Value of Business Acquired (continued)


Fixed and Variable Universal Life Contracts and Fixed and Variable Deferred
Annuity Contracts

   The Company amortizes DAC and VOBA 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 significantly impact the rate of DAC and
VOBA 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 and VOBA 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 and VOBA 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 and VOBA
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 and VOBA 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 and VOBA. 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.

   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, policyholder behavior 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 and VOBA 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 or VOBA 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 or VOBA amortization on the original
contract will continue and any acquisition costs associated with the related
modification are expensed.

   Amortization of DAC and VOBA 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 and VOBA that would have been amortized if such gains and losses had
been recognized.

4. Reinsurance

   The Company enters into reinsurance agreements as a purchaser of reinsurance
for its various insurance products and also as a provider of reinsurance for
some insurance products issued by affiliated and unaffiliated companies. The
Company participates in reinsurance activities in order to limit losses and
minimize exposure to significant risks.

   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.

   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. 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
portions of certain level premium term and universal life policies with
secondary death benefit guarantees to a former affiliate. 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, funds
withheld accounts and irrevocable letters of credit. These reinsurance
recoverable balances are stated net of allowances for uncollectible
reinsurance, which at both December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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 $398 million and $369 million of unsecured
unaffiliated reinsurance recoverable balances at December 31, 2017 and 2016,
respectively.

   At December 31, 2017, the Company had $656 million of net unaffiliated ceded
reinsurance recoverables. Of this total, $526 million, or 80%, were with the
Company's five largest unaffiliated ceded reinsurers, including $269 million of
net unaffiliated ceded reinsurance recoverables which were unsecured. At
December 31, 2016, the Company had $582 million of net unaffiliated ceded
reinsurance recoverables. Of this total, $478 million, or 82%, were with the
Company's five largest unaffiliated ceded reinsurers, including $266 million of
net unaffiliated ceded reinsurance recoverables which were unsecured.

4. Reinsurance (continued)


   The Company may secure certain reinsurance recoverable balances with various
forms of collateral, including secured trusts, funds withheld accounts and
irrevocable letters of credit. The Company had $346 million and $2.1 billion of
unsecured affiliated reinsurance recoverable balances at December 31, 2017 and
2016, 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 $326 million and $324 million at December 31, 2017 and 2016,
respectively. There were no deposit liabilities on affiliated reinsurance at
both December 31, 2017 and 2016.

   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 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.

         Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (continued)

5. Investments (continued)


(1) Noncredit OTTI losses included in AOCI in an unrealized gain position are
    due to increases in estimated fair value subsequent to initial recognition
    of noncredit losses on such securities. See also "-- Net Unrealized
    Investment Gains (Losses)."

     The Company held non-income producing fixed maturity securities with an
  estimated fair value of $1 million and less than $1 million with unrealized
  gains (losses) of ($1) million and less than ($1) million at December 31,
  2017 and 2016, respectively.

  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 Structured Securities are estimated using inputs
  obtained from third-party specialists and based on management's knowledge of
  the current market. For credit-sensitive Structured Securities and certain
  prepayment-sensitive securities, the effective yield is recalculated on a
  prospective basis. For all other Structured Securities, the effective yield
  is recalculated on a retrospective basis.

  Maturities of Fixed Maturity Securities

     The amortized cost and estimated fair value of fixed maturity securities,
  by contractual maturity date, were as follows at December 31, 2017:



                                                    Due After Five

     Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities due to the
  exercise of call or prepayment options. Fixed maturity securities not due at
  a single maturity date have been presented in the year of final contractual
  maturity. Structured Securities are shown separately, as they are not due at
  a single maturity.

  Evaluation of AFS Securities for OTTI and Evaluating Temporarily Impaired AFS
  Securities

   Evaluation and Measurement Methodologies

      Management considers a wide range of factors about the security issuer
   and uses its best judgment in evaluating the cause of the decline in the
   estimated fair value of the security and in assessing the prospects for
   near-term recovery. 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

         Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (continued)

      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.

      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 concluded that these securities were not
   other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2017. Future OTTI will
   depend primarily on economic fundamentals, issuer performance (including
   changes in the present value of future cash flows expected to be collected),
   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 decreased
   $120 million during the year ended December 31, 2017 to $56 million. The
   decrease in gross unrealized losses for the year ended December 31, 2017,
   was primarily attributable to narrowing credit spreads and strengthening
   foreign currencies on non-functional currency denominated fixed maturity
   securities.

      At December 31, 2017, $1 million of the total $56 million of gross
   unrealized losses were from three below investment grade fixed maturity
   securities with an unrealized loss position of 20% or more of amortized cost
   for six months or greater. Unrealized losses on below investment grade fixed
   maturity securities are principally related to state and political
   subdivision securities and U.S. corporate securities (primarily financial
   industry securities) and are the result of significantly wider credit
   spreads resulting from higher risk premiums since purchase, in part due to
   economic and market uncertainties. Management evaluates state and political
   subdivision securities and U.S. corporate securities based on factors such
   as expected cash flows and the financial condition and near-term and
   long-term prospects of the issuers.

   Valuation Allowance Methodology

      Mortgage loans are considered to be impaired when it is probable that,
   based upon current information and events, the Company will be unable to
   collect all amounts due under the loan agreement. 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 capture 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.

      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. 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. All
   agricultural mortgage loans are monitored on an ongoing basis. 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 the values utilized in calculating the ratio
   are updated annually on a rolling basis, with a portion of the portfolio
   updated each quarter. In addition, the loan-to-value ratio is routinely
   updated for all but the lowest risk loans as part of the Company's ongoing
   review of its commercial mortgage loan portfolio.

      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.

  Past Due and Nonaccrual Mortgage Loans

     The Company has a high quality, well performing mortgage loan portfolio,
  with all mortgage loans classified as performing at both December 31, 2017
  and 2016. The Company defines delinquency consistent with industry practice,
  when mortgage loans are past due as follows: commercial mortgage loans - 60
  days and agricultural mortgage loans - 90 days. The Company had no mortgage
  loans past due and no nonaccrual mortgage loans at both December 31, 2017 and
  2016.

  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 concessions granted are 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. There were no
  mortgage loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring for both the years
  ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Cash Equivalents

   The carrying value of cash equivalents, which includes securities and other
investments with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at
the time of purchase, was $136 million and $39 million at December 31, 2017 and
2016, respectively.

(1) The related loaned security could be returned to the Company on the next
    business day, which would require the Company to immediately return the
    cash collateral.

   If the Company is required to return significant amounts of cash collateral
on short notice and is forced to sell securities to meet the return obligation,
it may have difficulty selling such collateral that is invested in securities
in a timely manner, be forced to sell securities in a volatile or illiquid
market for less than what otherwise would have been realized under normal
market conditions, or both. The estimated fair value of the securities on loan
related to the cash collateral on open at December 31, 2017 was $155 million,
all of which were U.S. government and agency securities which, if put back to
the Company, could be immediately sold to satisfy the cash requirement.

   The reinvestment portfolio acquired with the cash collateral consisted
principally of fixed maturity securities (including U.S. government and agency
securities, agency RMBS, ABS) short-term investments and cash equivalents with
66% invested in cash equivalents, U.S. government and agency securities, agency
RMBS, short-term investments, or held in cash. If the securities on loan or the
reinvestment portfolio become less liquid, the Company has the liquidity
resources of most of its general account available to meet any potential cash
demands when securities on loan are put back to the Company.

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 $273 million at December 31, 2017. 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 $95 million at
December 31, 2017. 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 two of the three most recent annual periods: 2017 and 2016. 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, 2017, 2016 and 2015. Aggregate total assets of these entities
totaled $119.9 billion and $113.8 billion at December 31, 2017 and 2016,
respectively. Aggregate total liabilities of these entities totaled
$11.1 billion and $8.4 billion at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Aggregate net income (loss) of these entities totaled $11.4 billion,
$7.4 billion and $10.0 billion for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and
2015, 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 legal entities 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, 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.

  Consolidated VIEs

     There were no VIEs for which the Company has concluded that it is the
  primary beneficiary and which are consolidated at both December 31, 2017 and
  2016.

    equal to their carrying amounts or the carrying amounts of retained
    interests. The maximum exposure to loss relating to other limited
    partnership interests and real estate joint ventures is equal to the
    carrying amounts plus any unfunded commitments. For certain of its
    investments in other invested assets, the Company's return is in the form
    of income tax credits which are guaranteed by creditworthy third parties.
    For such investments, the maximum exposure to loss is equal to the carrying
    amounts plus any unfunded commitments, reduced by income tax credits
    guaranteed by third parties of less than $1 million at both December 31,
    2017 and 2016. 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 in mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities issued
    by trusts that do not have substantial equity.

    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 each of the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and
  2015.

         Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (continued)

6. Derivatives (continued)


   Derivatives are financial instruments with values 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 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 markets.

  Interest Rate Derivatives

     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 and nonqualifying hedging
  relationships.

  Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Derivatives

     The Company uses foreign currency exchange rate derivatives, including
  foreign currency swaps and foreign currency forwards, 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
  fair value, cash flow and nonqualifying hedging relationships.

     In a foreign currency forward transaction, the Company agrees with another
  party to deliver a specified amount of an identified currency at a specified
  future date. The price is agreed upon at the time of the contract and payment
  for such a contract is made at the specified future date. The Company
  utilizes foreign currency forwards in nonqualifying 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 amount 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 and involuntary restructuring for
  corporate obligors, as well as repudiation, moratorium or governmental
  intervention for sovereign obligors. 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 nonqualifying 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. government and agency securities or other fixed maturity securities.
  These credit default swaps are not designated as hedging instruments.

  Equity Derivatives

     To a lesser extent, the Company uses equity index options in nonqualifying
  hedging relationships.

   Based on gross notional amounts, a substantial portion of the Company's
derivatives was not designated or did not qualify as part of a hedging
relationship at both December 31, 2017 and 2016. 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; and (iii) 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 nonqualified derivatives, changes in market
factors can lead to the recognition of fair value changes on the statement of
operations without an offsetting gain or loss recognized in earnings for the
item being hedged.

   The components of net derivative gains (losses) were as follows:

Fair Value Hedges

   The Company designates and accounts for the following as fair value hedges
when they have met the requirements of fair value hedging: (i) interest rate
swaps to convert fixed rate assets to floating rate assets; and (ii) foreign
currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency fair value exposure of foreign
currency denominated assets.

   The amounts recognized in net derivative gains (losses) representing the
ineffective portion of all fair value hedges were less than $1 million for both
the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. The amount recognized in net
derivative gains (losses) representing the ineffective portion of all fair
value hedges was ($1) million for the year ended December 31, 2015. Changes in
the estimated fair value of the derivatives were less than ($1) million, less
than $1 million and less than ($1) million for the years ended December 31,
2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Changes in the estimated fair value of the
hedged items were less than $1 million for both the years ended December 31,
2017 and 2016. Change in the estimated fair value of the hedged items was ($1)
million for the year ended December 31, 2015.

   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 foreign currency swaps to hedge the
foreign currency cash flow exposure of foreign currency denominated assets, as
cash flow hedges, when they have met the requirements of cash flow hedging.

         Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (continued)

6. Derivatives (continued)


   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
amounts from AOCI into net derivative gains (losses). For both the years ended
December 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no amounts reclassified into net
derivative gains (losses) related to discontinued cash flow hedges. For the
year ended December 31, 2015, the amounts reclassified into net derivative
gains (losses) related to such discontinued cash flow hedges were not
significant.

   There were no hedged forecasted transactions, other than the receipt or
payment of variable interest payments, for each of the years ended December 31,
2017, 2016 and 2015.

   At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the balance in AOCI associated with foreign
currency swaps designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges was ($12) million
and $28 million, respectively.

   For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, there were ($42)
million, $7 million and $18 million of gains (losses) deferred in AOCI related
to foreign currency swaps, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2017,
the amount reclassified to net derivative gains (losses) related to foreign
currency swaps was ($2) million. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and
2015, the amounts reclassified to net derivative gains (losses) related to
foreign currency swaps were not significant. For the years ended December 31,
2017, 2016 and 2015, there were no amounts reclassified to net investment
income related to foreign currency swaps and the amount of net derivative gains
(losses) which represented the ineffective portion of all cash flow hedges were
not significant.

   All components of each derivative's gain or loss were included in the
assessment of hedge effectiveness.

   At December 31, 2017, the Company expected to reclassify ($1) million of
deferred net gains (losses) on derivatives in AOCI 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 nonqualifying
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 $193 million at
both December 31, 2017 and 2016. The Company can terminate these contracts at
any time through cash settlement with the counterparty at an amount equal to
the then current estimated fair value of the credit default swaps. At
December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company would have received $5 million and
$3 million, respectively, to terminate all of these contracts.

   The following table presents the estimated fair value, maximum amount of
future payments and weighted average years to maturity of written credit
default swaps at:

Credit Risk on Freestanding Derivatives

   The Company may be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of
nonperformance by its 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
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. Such positions are marked to market and margined on a daily
basis (both initial margin and variation margin), 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.

   The estimated fair values of the Company's net derivative assets and net
derivative liabilities after the application of master netting agreements and
collateral were as follows at:

6. Derivatives (continued)


(2) Estimated fair value of derivatives is limited to the amount that is
    subject to set-off and includes income or expense accruals.

(3) Cash collateral received is included in cash and cash equivalents,
    short-term investments or in fixed maturity securities, and the obligation
    to return it is included in payables for collateral under securities loaned
    and other transactions on the balance sheet. The receivable for the return
    of cash collateral provided by the Company is inclusive of initial margin
    on OTC-cleared derivatives and is included in premiums, reinsurance and
    other receivables on the balance sheet. 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, 2017
    and 2016, the Company received excess cash collateral of $2 million and
    $6 million, respectively, which is not included in the table above due to
    the foregoing limitation. At both December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company
    did not provide any excess cash collateral.

(4) Securities collateral received by the Company is held in separate custodial
    accounts and is not recorded on the balance sheet. Subject to certain
    constraints, the Company is permitted by contract to sell or re-pledge this
    collateral, but at December 31, 2017, none of the collateral had been sold
    or re-pledged. Securities collateral pledged by the Company is reported in
    fixed maturity securities on the balance sheet. Subject to certain
    constraints, the counterparties are permitted by contract to sell or
    re-pledge 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, 2017 and 2016, the Company received excess securities
    collateral with an estimated fair value of $5 million and $8 million,
    respectively, for its OTC-bilateral derivatives, which are not included in
    the table above due to the foregoing limitation. At December 31, 2017 and
    2016, the Company provided excess securities collateral with an estimated
    fair value of $3 million and $0, respectively, for its OTC-bilateral
    derivatives. At both December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company provided
    excess securities collateral with an estimated fair value of $5 million,
    for its OTC-cleared derivatives, which are not included in the table above
    due to the foregoing limitation.

(5) Effective January 3, 2017, the CME amended its rulebook, resulting in the
    characterization of variation margin transfers as settlement payments, as
    opposed to adjustments to collateral. See Note 1 for further information on
    the CME amendments.

   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
estimated 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 General American and/or the credit ratings of
the counterparty. In addition, certain of the Company's netting agreements for
derivatives contain provisions that require both General American 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.

   The following table presents the estimated fair value of the Company's
OTC-bilateral derivatives that were in a net liability position after
considering the effect of netting agreements, together with the estimated fair
value and balance sheet location of the collateral pledged. The table also
presents the incremental collateral that General American would be required to
provide if there was a one-notch downgrade in its financial strength rating at
the reporting date or if its financial strength rating sustained a downgrade to
a level that triggered full overnight collateralization or termination of the
derivative position. OTC-bilateral derivatives that are not subject to
collateral agreements are excluded from this table.

         Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (continued)


7. Fair Value

   When developing estimated fair values, the Company considers three broad
valuation approaches: (i) the market approach, (ii) the income approach, and
(iii) the cost approach. The Company determines the most appropriate valuation
approach 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.

   Considerable judgment is often required in interpreting market data to
develop estimates of fair value, and the use of different assumptions or
valuation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value
amounts.

    other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

(2) 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.

(3) Embedded derivatives within liability host contracts are presented within
    other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

7. Fair Value (continued)


   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 the Audit Committee of MetLife, Inc.'s Board
   of Directors 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 at December 31, 2017.

      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, 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.

         Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (continued)

7. Fair Value (continued)


      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.

7. Fair Value (continued)

    (1)Estimated fair value equals carrying value, based on the value of the
       underlying assets, including: mutual fund interests, fixed maturity
       securities, equity securities, derivatives, hedge funds, short-term
       investments and cash and cash equivalents.

  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.
  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. 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.

   Freestanding Derivatives Valuation Approaches and Key Inputs:

      Level 2 includes all types of derivatives utilized by the Company.

      Freestanding derivatives are principally valued using the income
   approach. Valuations of non-option-based derivatives utilize present value
   techniques. Key inputs are as follows:



                                                                                    Foreign Currency

  Embedded Derivatives

     Embedded derivatives are included within funds withheld on ceded
  reinsurance. Embedded derivatives are recorded at estimated fair value with
  changes in estimated fair value reported in net income.

         Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (continued)

7. Fair Value (continued)


     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 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 on 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 Liability Host Contracts

     Level 3 Valuation Approaches and Key Inputs:

       Embedded derivatives within funds withheld on ceded reinsurance

          These embedded derivatives are principally valued using the income
       approach. The valuations are based on present value techniques, which
       utilize significant inputs that may include the swap yield curves and
       the fair value of assets within the reference portfolio. 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 fair value of
       certain assets within the reference portfolio which are not observable
       in the market and cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated
       by, observable market data.

  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.

   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 both December 31, 2017
   and 2016.

   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.

  Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value Using Significant Unobservable
  Inputs (Level 3)

     The following table presents certain quantitative information about the
  significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, and the
  sensitivity of the estimated fair value to changes in those inputs, for the

7. Fair Value (continued)

(1)  The weighted average for fixed maturity securities is determined based on
     the estimated fair value of the securities.

(2)  The impact of a decrease in input would have the opposite impact on
     estimated fair value.

(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 accordance with the market
     convention for fixed maturity securities of dollars per hundred dollars of
     par.

(5)  Changes in the assumptions used for the probability of default are
     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.

     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 embedded derivatives within funds withheld on 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.

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 and payables for collateral under
securities loaned and other transactions. The estimated fair value of the
excluded financial instruments, which are primarily classified in Level 2,
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 tables
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:

   The methods, assumptions and significant valuation techniques and inputs
used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are summarized as
follows:

  Mortgage Loans

     The estimated fair value of mortgage loans 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.

  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 and amounts
  receivable for securities sold but not yet settled.

     Amounts recoverable under ceded 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.

     The amounts due for securities sold, classified within Level 2, are
  generally received over short periods such that the estimated fair value
  approximates carrying value.

7. Fair Value (continued)


  Policyholder Account Balances

     These policyholder account balances include investment contracts which
  primarily include certain funding agreements, fixed deferred 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 estimated fair value of long-term debt is principally determined using
  market standard valuation methodologies. Valuations of instruments are based
  primarily on quoted prices in markets that are not active or using matrix
  pricing that use standard market observable inputs such as quoted prices in
  markets that are not active and observable yields and spreads in the market.
  Instruments valued using discounted cash flow methodologies use standard
  market observable inputs including market yield curve, duration, observable
  prices and spreads for similar publicly traded or privately traded issues.

  Other Liabilities

     Other liabilities consist primarily of interest payable and amounts due
  for securities purchased but not yet settled. 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 outstanding is comprised of a surplus note due
in January 2024, which bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.63%. The outstanding
balance of the surplus note was $104 million at both December 31, 2017 and 2016.

   Payments of interest and principal on the Company's surplus note are
subordinate to all other obligations and may be made only with the prior
approval of the insurance department of the state of domicile.

   Interest expense related to the surplus note, included in other expenses,
was $9 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015.

Letters of Credit

   The Company had access to credit facilities from various banks indirectly
through letters of credit available to MetLife, Inc. for the benefit of the
Company and certain other affiliates of MetLife, Inc. These facilities were
used for collateral for certain of the Company's affiliated reinsurance
liabilities. Total fees associated with letters of credit were $3 million,
$2 million and $2 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015,
respectively, and were included in other expenses. At December 31, 2017, the
Company had $25 million in letters of credit outstanding.

9. Equity

Statutory Equity and Income

   The state of domicile of General American 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"), based on the statutory-based filed
financial statements. Companies below specific trigger levels or ratios are
classified by their respective levels, each of which requires specified
corrective action. The minimum level of TAC before corrective action commences
is twice ACL RBC ("CAL RBC"). The CAL RBC ratio for General American was in
excess of 500% for all periods presented.

   General American prepares statutory-basis financial statements in accordance
with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Missouri
Department of Insurance. 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
the state insurance department may impact the effect of Statutory Codification
on the statutory capital and surplus of General American.

   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 surplus
notes as surplus instead of debt, 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 General American 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.

   The tables below present amounts from General American, which are derived
from the statutory-basis financial statements as filed with the Missouri
Department of Insurance.

   Statutory net income (loss) was as follows:

-----------

(1) Reflects dividend amounts that may be paid during 2018 without prior
    regulatory approval. However, because dividend tests may be based on
    dividends previously paid over a rolling 12-month period, if paid before a
    specified date during 2017, some or all of such dividends may require
    regulatory approval.

   Under Missouri State Insurance Law, General American is permitted, without
prior insurance regulatory clearance, to pay a stockholder dividend to MetLife,
Inc. as long as the amount of such 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 statutory net gain from operations for the
immediately preceding calendar year (excluding net realized capital gains).
General American will be permitted to pay a dividend to MetLife, Inc. 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 Missouri Director of
Insurance (the "Missouri Director") and the Missouri Director 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 by the Company as "unassigned funds (surplus)") as of the last filed
annual statutory statement requires insurance regulatory approval. Under
Missouri State Insurance Law, the Missouri Director 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.

11. Income Tax

   On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law U.S. Tax Reform. U.S.
Tax Reform includes numerous changes in tax law, including a permanent
reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, which took
effect for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, and a
territorial international tax system which generally eliminates U.S. federal
income tax on dividends received from foreign subsidiaries.

11. Income Tax (continued)


   In accordance with SAB 118 issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") in December 2017, the Company has recorded provisional
amounts for certain items for which the income tax accounting is not complete.
For these items, the Company has recorded a reasonable estimate of the tax
effects of U.S. Tax Reform. The estimates will be reported as provisional
amounts during a measurement period, which will not exceed one year from the
date of enactment of U.S. Tax Reform. The Company may reflect adjustments to
its provisional amounts upon obtaining, preparing, or analyzing additional
information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the enactment date
that, if known, would have affected the income tax effects initially reported
as provisional amounts.

   The following item is considered a provisional estimate due to complexities
and ambiguities in U.S. Tax Reform which resulted in incomplete accounting for
the tax effects of these provisions. Further guidance, either legislative or
interpretive, and analysis will be required to complete the accounting for this
item:

   .  Alternative Minimum Tax Credits - U.S. Tax Reform eliminates the
      corporate alternative minimum tax and allows for minimum tax credit
      carryforwards to be used to offset future regular tax or to be refunded
      over the next few years. However, pursuant to the requirements of the
      Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended,
      refund payments issued for corporations claiming refundable prior year
      alternative minimum tax credits are subject to a sequestration rate of
      6.6%. The application of this fee to refunds in future years is subject
      to further guidance. Additionally, the sequestration reduction rate in
      effect at the time is subject to uncertainty. The Company has recorded a
      less than $1 million tax charge included within the deferred tax
      revaluation.

   The provision for income tax was as follows:

   Deferred income tax represents the tax effect of the differences between the
book and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Net deferred income tax assets
and liabilities consisted of the following at:

   Tax credit carryforwards of $28 million at December 31, 2017 will expire
beginning in 2022.

   The Company participates in a tax sharing agreement with MetLife, Inc., as
described in Note 1. Pursuant to this tax sharing agreement, the amounts due
from affiliates included $26 million and $1 million for the years ended
December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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. The Company is no
longer subject to U.S. federal, state, or local income tax examinations in
major taxing jurisdictions for years prior to 2007, except for 2006 where the
IRS disallowance relates to policyholder liability deductions and the Company
is engaged with IRS Appeals. Management believes it has established adequate
tax liabilities and final resolution for the year 2006 is not expected to have
a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

   The Company's liability for unrecognized tax benefits may increase or
decrease in the next 12 months. For example, federal tax legislation could
impact unrecognized tax benefits. A reasonable estimate of the increase or
decrease cannot be made at this time. However, the Company continues to believe
that the ultimate resolution of the pending issues will not result in a
material change to its consolidated financial statements, although the
resolution of income tax matters could impact the Company's effective tax rate
for a particular future period.

   The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits for the year ended December 31,
2017. Unrecognized tax benefits were $7 million for both of the years ended
December 31, 2016 and 2015. Unrecognized tax benefits, that if recognized,
would impact the effective tax rate were $7 million for both of the years ended
December 31, 2016 and 2015.

   The Company classifies interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits
in interest expense, included within other expenses, while penalties are
included in income tax expense.

11. Income Tax (continued)


   Interest recognized on the consolidated statements of operations was
($2) million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company had no interest
recognized on the consolidated statements of operations for both of the years
ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. There was no interest included in other
liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2017. The Company
had $2 million of interest included in other liabilities on the consolidated
balance sheet at December 31, 2016.

   The Company had no penalties for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and
2015.

   Prior to U.S. Tax Reform, the dividends received deduction ("DRD") related
to variable life insurance and annuity contracts was generally based on a
company specific percentage referred to as the company's share. The calculation
of this amount was subject to significant dispute between taxpayers and the
IRS. U.S. Tax Reform eliminated this dispute by fixing the calculation to a
specific percentage subsequent to 2017.

   The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $1 million related to the
separate account DRD for each of the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and
2015.

12. Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees

Contingencies

  Litigation

   Sales Practices Claims

      The Company and certain of its affiliates have faced numerous claims,
   including class action lawsuits, alleging improper marketing or sales of
   individual life insurance policies, annuities, mutual funds or other
   products. Regulatory authorities in a small number of states and the
   Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and occasionally the SEC, have also
   conducted investigations or inquiries relating to sales of individual life
   insurance policies or annuities or other products issued by the Company.
   These investigations often focus on the conduct of particular financial
   services representatives and the sale of unregistered or unsuitable products
   or the misuse of client assets. Over the past several years, these and a
   number of investigations by other regulatory authorities were resolved for
   monetary payments and certain other relief, including restitution payments.
   The Company may continue to resolve investigations in a similar manner.

   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, investor, 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.

   Assets and liabilities held for insolvency assessments were as follows:

Commitments

  Mortgage Loan Commitments

     The Company commits to lend funds under mortgage loan commitments. The
  amounts of these mortgage loan commitments were $4 million and $19 million at
  December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

  Commitments to Fund Partnership Investments, Bank Credit Facilities and
  Private Corporate Bond Investments

     The Company commits to fund partnership investments and to lend funds
  under bank credit facilities and private corporate bond investments. The
  amounts of these unfunded commitments were $112 million and $160 million at
  December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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 of less than
$1 million, with a cumulative maximum of less than $1 million, while in other
cases such limitations are not specified or applicable. Since certain of these
obligations 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, 2017 and 2016.

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 personnel, policy administrative functions and distribution
services. The bases for such charges are modified and adjusted by management
when necessary or appropriate to reflect fairly and equitably the actual cost
incurred by the Company and/or affiliate. Expenses and fees incurred with
affiliates related to these agreements, recorded in other expenses, were
$36 million, $29 million and $31 million for the years ended December 31, 2017,
2016 and 2015, respectively. Revenues received from affiliates related to these
agreements, recorded in universal life and investment-type product policy fees,
were $1 million, $1 million and $2 million for the years ended
December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Revenues received from
affiliates related to these agreements, recorded in other revenues, were $0,
$1 million and $2 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015,
respectively.

   The Company had net receivables from affiliates, related to the items
discussed above, of $4 million and $5 million at December 31, 2017 and 2016,
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, 2017, through
April 12, 2018, which is the date these consolidated financial statements were
available to be issued.

Merger

   In February 2018, the Company's Board of Directors approved the merger of
General American and Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company ("MTL"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife, Inc. MTL will be the surviving entity and
expects to redomicile from Delaware to Nebraska. The Company expects the
completion of the merger in the first half of 2018, subject to certain
regulatory approvals.

               Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statement Narrative
                As of and for the Year Ended December 31, 2017

On April 27, 2018, Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company ("MTL") merged
with General American Life Insurance Company ("General American"), both of
which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of MetLife, Inc. The surviving entity of
the merger is MTL. The merger represents a transaction among entities under
common control, which will be accounted for in a manner similar to the
pooling-of-interests method and presented as if the transaction occurred at the
beginning of the earliest date for which the financial statements are presented
and prior periods will be retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative
information.

Had the transaction occurred on December 31, 2017, the unaudited pro forma
consolidated balance sheet combines the audited historical consolidated balance
sheet of Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries (the
"Company") and the audited historical consolidated balance sheet of General
American and its subsidiary. There are no pro forma balance sheet adjustments.
As of December 31, 2017, pro forma total assets and total stockholder's equity
would have been $28,062 million and $3,097 million, respectively.

Had the transaction occurred on January 1, 2015, the unaudited pro forma
consolidated statement of operations combines the audited historical
consolidated statement of operations of the Company and the audited historical
consolidated statement of operations of General American and its subsidiary.
The Company's unaudited pro forma statement of operations would have reflected
a pro forma adjustment to eliminate $12 million for non-recurring expenses
recorded during 2017 in connection with completing the merger. The Company's
pro forma net income (loss) would have been $341 million, $11 million and $210
million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The unaudited pro forma narrative description of the Merger of MTL and GALIC
(i) is presented based on information currently available, (ii) is intended for
informational purposes only, and (iii) is not intended to reflect the results
of operations or the financial position of the Company that would have resulted
had the Merger been effective as of and during the periods presented or the
results that may be obtained by the Company in the future. There are no
estimates that need to be made.

       Transactions and Inquiries

   You may request a transfer or reallocation of future premiums by written
request (which may be telecopied) to our Administrative Office, by telephoning
us, or over the Internet . To request a transfer or reallocation by telephone,
you should contact your registered representative, or contact us at (800)
638-9294. To request a transfer or reallocation over the Internet, you may log
on to our website at www.genamerica.com. We use reasonable procedures to
confirm that instructions communicated by telephone, facsimile or Internet are
genuine. Any telephone, facsimile or Internet instructions that we reasonably
believe to be genuine will be your responsibility, including losses arising
from any errors in the communication of instructions. However, because
telephone and Internet transactions may be available to anyone who provides
certain information about you and your Policy, 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, facsimile, and computer systems (including the Internet) may not
always be available. Any telephone, facsimile, or computer system, whether it
is yours, your service provider's, your registered representative's, or ours,
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 by writing to our Administrative Office.

   If you send premium payments or transaction requests to an address other
than the one we have designated for receipt of such payments or requests, we
may return the premium payment to you, or there may be a delay in applying the
payment or transaction to your Policy.

THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT

   The separate account consists of divisions, each of which corresponds to an
underlying Fund. Each division may either make money or lose money. Therefore
if you invest in a division of the separate account, you may either make money
or lose money, depending on the investment experience of that division. There
is no guaranteed rate of return in the separate account.

   The following chart shows the Funds that are available under the Policy
along with the name of the investment adviser, sub-adviser (where applicable)
and investment objective of each Fund. The Funds have different investment
goals and strategies. You should review the prospectus of each Fund carefully
before investing, or seek professional guidance in determining which Fund(s)
best meet your objectives.

NOTE: The Russell Investment Funds are not available to Destiny or Executive
Benefit Policies. For all other Policies, the Russell Investment Funds are only

CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS

   Charges will be deducted in connection with the Policy to compensate the
Company for providing the insurance benefits set forth in the Policy and any
additional benefits added by rider, administering the Policies, incurring
expenses in distributing the Policies, and assuming certain risks in connection
with the Policy. We may profit from one or more of the charges deducted under
the Policy, including the cost of insurance charge. We may use these profits
for any corporate purpose.

   The information shown in the table above was provided by the Funds. Certain
Funds and their investment adviser have entered into expense reimbursement
and/or fee waiver arrangements that will continue from May 1, 2017 through
April 30, 2018. These arrangements can be terminated with respect to these
Funds only with the approval of the Fund's board of directors or trustees.
Please see the Funds' prospectuses for additional information regarding these
arrangements.




CERTAIN PAYMENTS WE RECEIVE WITH REGARD TO THE FUNDS
   An investment adviser (other than Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC) or
subadviser of a Fund, or its affiliates, may make payments to us and/or certain
of our affiliates. Prior to March 6, 2017, Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC
was known as MetLife Advisers, LLC and as of the date of this prospectus, our
affiliate. 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 Policies and, in our role as an intermediary, with respect
to the Funds. We and our affiliates may profit from these payments.

These payments may be derived, in whole or in part, from the advisory fee
deducted from Fund assets. Policy Owners, through their indirect investment in
the Funds, bear the costs of these advisory fees (see the prospectuses for the
Funds for more information). The amount of the payments we receive is based on
a percentage of assets of the Funds attributable to the Policies and certain
other variable insurance products that we and our affiliates issue. These
percentages differ and some advisers or subadvisers (or their affiliates) may
pay us more than others. These percentages currently range up to 0.50%.

   Additionally, an investment adviser (other than Brighthouse Investment
Advisers, LLC) or subadviser of a Fund or its affiliates may provide us with
wholesaling services that assist in the distribution of the Policies and may
pay us and/or certain of our 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 Policies.

   As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we and/or certain of our
affiliated insurance companies have joint ownership interests in our affiliated
investment adviser, Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC, which is formed as a
"limited liability company." Our ownership interests in Brighthouse Investment
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 -- Fund Fees and Expenses" for
information on the management fees paid by the Funds and the Statements of
Additional Information for the Funds for information on the management fees
paid by the adviser to the subadvisers.) In 2016, MetLife, Inc. announced plans
to pursue the separation, through one or more transactions, of a substantial
portion of its U.S. retail business, including Brighthouse Investment Advisers,
LLC, then known as MetLife Advisers, LLC. The new separate retail business will
be organized under a holding company named Brighthouse Financial, Inc.
("Brighthouse"). Following these transactions, Brighthouse Investment Advisers,
LLC will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brighthouse and will no longer be
affiliated with MetLife, Inc., and it is expected that MetLife, Inc. and/or
certain of its affiliates will receive payments from Brighthouse Investment
Advisers and/or its affiliates of the type described in the second preceding
paragraph. Additionally, it is expected that MetLife, Inc. and/or certain of
its affiliates will receive payments from Brighthouse Investment Advisers
and/or its affiliates in an amount approximately equal to the profit
distributions they would have received had these transactions not occurred.

                                 POLICY RIGHTS

TRANSFERS

   We have modified the fourth paragraph in the RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERS
subsection in TRANSFERS to read as follows:

   Our policies and procedures may result in transfer restrictions being
applied to deter frequent transfers. Currently, when we detect transfer
activity in the Monitored Funds that exceeds our current transfer limits, we
require future transfer requests to or from any Monitored Funds under that
Policy to be submitted in writing with an original signature. A first
occurrence will result in a warning letter; the second occurrence will result
in imposition of this restriction for a six-month period; a third occurrence
will result in the permanent imposition of the restriction.

   We have also modified the Restrictions on LARGE TRANSFERS subsection in
TRANSFERS to read as follows:

   RESTRICTIONS ON LARGE TRANSFERS. Large transfers may increase brokerage and
administrative costs of the underlying Funds and may disrupt fund 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 fund manager of a
particular underlying Fund has brought large transfer activity to our attention
for investigation on a case-by-case basis. For example, some fund managers have
asked us to monitor for "block transfers" where transfer requests have been
submitted on behalf of multiple 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 a warning letter; a second occurrence will result in the
imposition of this restriction for a six-month period; a third occurrence will
result in the permanent imposition of the restriction.




SEPARATE ACCOUNT CHARGES
   We will waive the following amount of the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge:
the amount, if any, equal to the underlying fund expenses that are in excess of
0.68% for the Division investing in the Jennison Growth Portfolio, and that are
in excess of 0.88% for the Division investing in the MFS(R) Research
International Portfolio.

                              FEDERAL TAX MATTERS

INTRODUCTION

   The following summary provides a general description of the Federal income
tax considerations associated with the Policy and does not purport to be
complete or to cover all tax situations. The summary does not address state,
local or foreign tax issues related to the Policy. This discussion is not
intended as tax advice. Counsel or other competent tax advisers should be
consulted for more complete information. This discussion is based upon General
American's understanding of the present Federal income tax laws. No
representation is made as to the likelihood of continuation of the present
Federal income tax laws or as to how they may be interpreted by the Internal
Revenue Service. It should be further understood that the following discussion
is not exhaustive and that special rules not described herein may be applicable
in certain situations.

TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY

   In order to qualify as a life insurance contract for Federal income tax
purposes and to receive the tax treatment normally accorded life insurance
contracts under Federal tax law, a Policy must satisfy certain requirements
which are set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. Guidance as to how these
requirements are to be applied is limited. Nevertheless, we anticipate that the
Policy should be deemed to be a life insurance contract under Federal tax law.
However, if your Policy is issued on a substandard or guaranteed issue basis,
there is additional uncertainty. We may take appropriate steps to bring the
Policy into compliance with applicable requirements, and we reserve the right
to restrict Policy transactions in order to do so. The insurance proceeds
payable on the death of the insured will never be less than the minimum amount
required for the Policy to be treated as life insurance under section 7702 of
the Internal Revenue Code, as in effect on the date the Policy was issued.

   In some circumstances, owners of variable contracts who retain excessive
control over the investment of the underlying separate account assets may be
treated as the owners of those assets. Although published guidance in this area
does not address certain aspects of the Policies, we believe that the Owner of
a Policy should not be treated as the owner of the Separate Account assets. We
reserve the right to modify the Policies to bring them into conformity with
applicable standards should such modification be necessary to prevent Owners of
the Policies from being treated as the owners of the underlying Separate
Account assets.

   In addition, the Code requires that the investments of the Separate Account
be "adequately diversified" in order for the Policies to be treated as life
insurance contracts for Federal income tax purposes. It is intended that the
Separate Account, through the Funds, will satisfy these diversification
requirements. If Fund shares are sold directly to either non-qualified plans or
to tax-qualified retirement plans that later lose their tax qualified status,
there may be adverse consequences under the diversification rules.

   The following discussion assumes that the Policy will qualify as a life
insurance contract for Federal income tax purposes.

   TAX TREATMENT OF POLICY BENEFITS. The death benefit under the Policy should
generally be excludable from the gross income of the Beneficiary to the extent
provided in Section 101 of the Code. In the case of employer-owned life
insurance as defined in Section 101(j), the amount of the death benefit
excludable from gross income is limited to premiums paid unless the Policy
falls within certain specified exceptions and a notice and consent requirement
is satisfied before the Policy is issued. Certain specified exceptions are
based on the status of an employee as highly compensated, a director or
recently employed. There are also exceptions for Policy proceeds paid to an
employee's heirs. These exceptions only apply if proper notice is given to the
insured employee and consent is received from the insured employee before the
issuance of the Policy. These rules apply to Policies issued August 18, 2006
and later and also apply to policies issued before August 18, 2006 after a
material increase in the death benefit or other material change. An IRS
reporting requirement applies to employer-owned life insurance subject to these
rules. Because these rules are complex and will affect the tax treatment of
death benefits, it is advisable to consult tax counsel. The death benefit will
also be taxable in the case of a transfer-for-value unless certain exceptions
apply.

   Many changes or transactions involving a Policy may have tax consequences,
depending on the circumstances. Such changes include, but are not limited to,
the exchange of the Policy, a change of the Policy's Face Amount, a Policy
Loan, an additional premium payment, a Policy lapse with an outstanding Policy




Loan, a partial withdrawal, or a surrender of the Policy. The transfer of the
Policy or designation of a Beneficiary may have Federal, state, and/or local
transfer and inheritance

tax consequences, including the imposition of gift, estate, and
generation-skipping transfer taxes. For example, the transfer of the Policy to,
or the designation as a Beneficiary of, or the payment of proceeds to, a person
who is assigned to a generation which is two or more generations below the
generation assignment of the Owner may have generation skipping transfer tax
consequences under Federal tax law. The individual situation of each Owner or
Beneficiary will determine the extent, if any, to which Federal, state, and
local transfer and inheritance taxes may be imposed and how ownership or
receipt of Policy proceeds will be treated for purposes of Federal, state and
local estate, inheritance, generation skipping and other taxes.

   A Policy may also be used in various arrangements, including non-qualified
deferred compensation or salary continuation plans, split dollar insurance
plans, executive bonus plans, retiree medical benefit plans and others. The tax
consequences of such plans may vary depending on the particular facts and
circumstances of each individual arrangement. If you are contemplating a change
to an existing Policy or using a Policy in any arrangement the value of which
depends in part on its tax consequences, you should be sure to consult a
qualified tax adviser regarding the tax attributes of the particular
arrangement.

   Generally, the Owner will not be deemed to be in constructive receipt of the
Policy's Cash Value, including increments thereof, under the Policy until there
is a distribution or a deemed distribution. Under a complete surrender or lapse
of any Policy, if the amount received plus the amount of outstanding
Indebtedness exceeds the total investments in the Policy, the excess will
generally be treated as ordinary income subject to tax. The tax consequences of
other distributions from, and Policy Loans taken from or secured by, a Policy
depend upon whether the Policy is classified as a "modified endowment contract".

   Ownership of the Policy by a corporation, trust or other non-natural person
could jeopardize some (or all) of such entity's interest deduction under Code
section 264, even where such entity's indebtedness is in no way connected to
the Policy. In addition, under section 264(f)(5), if a business (other than a
sole proprietorship) is directly or indirectly a beneficiary of the Policy, the
Policy could be treated as held by the business for purposes of the section
264(f) entity-holder rules. Therefore, it would be advisable to consult with a
qualified tax adviser before any non-natural person is made a Policy Owner or
holder of the Policy or before a business (other than a sole proprietorship) is
made a beneficiary of the Policy.

   MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS. A Policy may be treated as a modified
endowment contract depending upon the amount of premiums paid in relation to
the death benefit provided under such Policy. The premium limitation rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are extremely
complex. In general, however, a Policy will be a modified endowment contract if
the accumulated premiums paid at any time during the first seven Policy Years
exceed the sum of the level premiums which would have been paid on or before
such time if the Policy provided for paid-up future benefits after the payment
of seven level annual premiums.

   In addition, if a Policy is "materially changed" it may cause such Policy to
be treated as a modified endowment contract. The material change rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are also
extremely complex. In general, however, the determination of whether a Policy
will be a modified endowment contract after a material change generally depends
upon the relationship among the death benefit at the time of such change, the
Cash Value at the time of the change and the additional premiums paid in the
seven Policy Years starting with the date on which the material change occurs.

   Moreover, a life insurance contract received in exchange for a life
insurance contract classified as a modified endowment contract will also be
treated as a modified endowment contract. A reduction in a Policy's benefits
may also cause such Policy to become a modified endowment contract.

   Accordingly, a prospective Owner should contact a competent tax adviser
before purchasing a Policy to determine the circumstances under which the
Policy would be a modified endowment contract. In addition, an Owner should
contact a competent tax adviser before paying any additional premiums or making
any other change to, including an exchange of, a Policy to determine whether
such premium or change would cause the Policy (or the new Policy in the case of
an exchange) to be treated as a modified endowment contract.

NOTE: MOST DESTINY POLICIES WERE MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTACTS FROM THE DATE OF
ISSUE, THEREFORE, DISTRIBUTIONS FROM MOST DESTINY POLICIES ARE TAXED AS FOLLOWS:

   DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT.
Policies classified as modified endowment contracts will be subject to the
following tax rules: First, all distributions, including distributions upon
surrender,




from such a Policy are treated as ordinary income subject to tax up to the
amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Cash Value immediately before the
distribution over the investment in the Policy (described below) at such time.
Second, Policy Loans taken from, or secured by, such a Policy, as well as due
but unpaid interest thereon, are treated as distributions from such a Policy
and taxed accordingly. Third, a 10 percent additional income tax is imposed on
the portion of any distribution from, or Policy Loan taken from or secured by,
such a Policy that is included in income, except where the distribution or
Policy Loan (a) is made on or after the Owner attains age 59 1/2, (b) is
attributable to the Owner's becoming disabled, or (c) is part of a series of
substantially equal periodic payments for the life (or life expectancy) of the
Owner or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the Owner and the
Owner's Beneficiary. The foregoing exceptions to the 10 percent additional
income tax will generally not apply to a Policy Owner that is a non-natural
person, such as a corporation.

   DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES NOT CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT.
Distributions from Policies not classified as a modified endowment contract are
generally treated first as a non-taxable recovery of the investment in the
Policy (described below) and then, only after the return of all such investment
in the Policy, as gain taxable as ordinary income. An exception to this general
rule occurs in the case of a decrease in the Policy's death benefit (possibly
including a partial withdrawal) or any other change that reduces benefits under
the Policy in the first 15 years after the Policy is issued and that results in
cash distribution to the Owner in order for the Policy to continue to qualify
as a life insurance contract for Federal income tax purposes. Such a cash
distribution will be subject to different tax rules and may be treated in whole
or in part as taxable income.

   Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment
contract should generally not be treated as distributions. Instead, such loans
should generally be treated as indebtedness of the Owner. However, because the
tax consequences associated with Policy Loans are not always clear, in
particular, with respect to Policy Loans outstanding after the tenth Policy
year, you should consult a tax adviser prior to taking any Policy Loan.

   Upon a complete surrender or lapse of a Policy that is not a modified
endowment contract, if the amount received plus the amount of indebtedness
exceeds the total investment in the Policy, the excess will generally be
treated as ordinary income subject to tax.

   Neither distributions (including distributions upon surrender or lapse) nor
Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment
contract are subject to the 10 percent additional income tax.

   If a Policy which is not a modified endowment contract subsequently becomes
a modified endowment contract, then any distribution made from the Policy
within two years prior to the date of such change in status may become taxable.

   POLICY LOANS. Generally, interest paid on any loan under a life insurance
Policy is not deductible. AN OWNER SHOULD CONSULT A COMPETENT TAX ADVISER IF
THE DEDUCTIBILITY OF LOAN INTEREST IS A CONSIDERATION IN THE PURCHASE OF A
POLICY. If a Policy Loan is outstanding when a Policy is canceled or lapses,
the amount of the outstanding Indebtedness will be added to the amount
distributed and will be taxed accordingly.

   INVESTMENT IN THE POLICY. Investment in the Policy means (i) the aggregate
amount of any premiums or other consideration paid for a Policy, minus (ii) the
aggregate amount received under the Policy which is excluded from gross income
of the Owner (except that the amount of any Policy Loan from, or secured by, a
Policy that is a modified endowment contract, to the extent such amount is
excluded from gross income, will be disregarded), plus (iii) the amount of any
Policy Loan from, or secured by, a Policy that is a modified endowment contract
to the extent that such amount is included in the gross income of the Owner.

   MULTIPLE POLICIES. All modified endowment contracts that are issued by
General American (or its affiliates) to the same Owner during any calendar year
are treated as one modified endowment contract for purposes of determining the
amount includible in gross income under Section 72(e) of the Code.

   LIFE INSURANCE PURCHASES BY NONRESIDENT ALIENS AND FOREIGN CORPORATIONS.
Policy Owners that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally be subject
to U.S. Federal withholding tax on taxable distributions from life insurance
policies at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, Policy
Owners may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes that may be
imposed by the Policy Owner's country of citizenship or residence.

   WITHHOLDING. To the extent that Policy distributions are taxable, they are
generally subject to withholding for the recipient's Federal income tax
liability. Recipients can generally elect, however, not to have tax withheld
from distributions.

   ESTATE, GIFT AND GENERATION-SKIPPING TRANSFER TAXES. The transfer of the
Policy or the designation of a beneficiary may have Federal, state, and/or
local transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of
gift, estate, and




generation-skipping transfer taxes. When the insured dies, the death proceeds
will generally be includable in the Policy Owner's estate for purposes of the
Federal estate tax if the Policy Owner was the insured, retained incidents of
ownership at death, or made a gift transfer of the Policy within 3 years of
death. If the Policy Owner was not the insured, the fair market value of the
Policy would be included in the Policy Owner's estate upon the Policy Owner's
death.

   Moreover, under certain circumstances, the Internal Revenue Code may impose
a "generation-skipping transfer tax" when all or part of a life insurance
policy is transferred to, or a death benefit is paid to, an individual two or
more generations younger than the Policy Owner. Regulations issued under the
Internal Revenue Code may require us to deduct the tax from your Policy, or
from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the IRS.

   Qualified tax advisers should be consulted concerning the estate and gift
tax consequences of Policy ownership and distributions under Federal, state and
local law. The individual situation of each Policy Owner or beneficiary will
determine the extent, if any, to which Federal, state, and local transfer and
inheritance taxes may be imposed and how ownership or receipt of Policy
proceeds will be treated for purposes of Federal, state and local estate,
inheritance, generation-skipping and other taxes.

   In general, current rules provide for a $5 million estate, gift and
generation-skipping transfer tax exemption (as indexed for inflation) and a top
tax rate of 40 percent.

   The complexity of the tax law, along with uncertainty as to how it might be
modified in coming years, underscores the importance of seeking guidance from a
qualified adviser to help ensure that your estate plan adequately addresses
your needs and those of your beneficiaries under all possible scenarios.

   CONTINUATION OF POLICY BEYOND ATTAINED AGE 100. The tax consequences of
continuing the Policy beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100 birthday are
unclear. You should consult a tax adviser if you intend to keep the Policy in
force beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100.

   GUIDANCE ON SPLIT DOLLAR PLANS. The IRS has issued guidance on split dollar
insurance plans. A tax adviser should be consulted with respect to this
guidance if your Policy is, or may become, subject to a split dollar insurance
plan. If your Policy is part of an equity split dollar arrangement taxed under
the economic benefit regime, there is a risk that some portion of the Policy
cash value may be taxed prior to any Policy distribution.

   In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act"), which was signed
into law on July 30, 2002, prohibits, with limited exceptions, publicly-traded
companies, including non-U.S. companies that have securities listed on U.S.
exchanges, from extending, directly or indirectly or through a subsidiary, many
types of personal loans to their directors or executive officers. It is
possible that this prohibition may be interpreted to apply to split-dollar life
insurance arrangements for directors and executive officers of such companies,
since such arrangements can arguably be viewed as involving a loan from the
employer for at least some purposes.

   Any affected business contemplating the payment of a premium on an existing
Policy or the purchase of new Policy in connection with a split-dollar life
insurance arrangement should consult legal counsel.

   Split dollar insurance plans that provide deferred compensation may be
subject to specific tax rules governing deferred compensation arrangements.
Failure to adhere to these rules will result in adverse tax consequences.

   CORPORATE ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX. There may also be an indirect tax upon
the income in the Policy or the proceeds of a Policy under the Federal
corporate alternative minimum tax, if the Policy Owner is subject to that tax.

   PUERTO RICO. We believe that Policies subject to Puerto Rican tax law will
generally receive treatment similar, with certain modifications, to that
described above. Among other differences, Policies governed by Puerto Rican tax
law are not currently subject to the rules described above regarding Modified
Endowment Contracts. You should consult your tax adviser with respect to Puerto
Rican tax law governing the Policies.

   POSSIBLE TAX LAW CHANGES. Although the likelihood of legislative changes is
uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the Policy
could change by legislation or otherwise. Consult a tax adviser with respect to
legislative developments and their effect on the Policy.

   FOREIGN TAX CREDITS. To the extent permitted under Federal tax law, we may
claim the benefit of certain foreign tax credits attributable to taxes paid by
certain Eligible Funds to foreign jurisdictions.

   POSSIBLE CHARGE FOR TAXES. At the present time, General American makes no
charge to the Separate Account for any Federal, state, or local taxes (as
opposed to Premium Tax Charges which are deducted from premium payments) that
it incurs




which may be attributable to such Separate Account or to the Policies. General
American, however, reserves the right in the future to make a charge for any
such tax or other economic burden resulting from the application of the tax
laws that it determines to be properly attributable to the Separate Account or
to the Policies.

                         DISTRIBUTION OF THE POLICIES

   The principal executive offices of MetLife Investors Distribution Company,
the principal underwriter and distributor of the Policies, are located at 200
Park Avenue, New York, New York 10166.

                    RESTRICTIONS ON FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS

   Applicable laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering
might, in certain circumstances, require us to reject a premium payment and/or
block or "freeze" your Policy. If these laws apply in a particular situation,
we would not be allowed to process any request for withdrawals, surrenders,
loans or death benefits, make transfers or continue making payments under your
death benefit option until instructions are received from the appropriate
regulator. We also may be required to provide additional information about you
or your Policy to government regulators.

                               LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

   In the ordinary course of business, General American, similar to other life
insurance companies, is involved in lawsuits (including class action lawsuits),
arbitrations and other legal proceedings. Also, from time to time, state and
federal regulators or other officials conduct formal and informal examinations
or undertake other actions dealing with various aspects of the financial
services and insurance industries. In some legal proceedings involving
insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement
payments have been made. It is not possible to predict with certainty the
ultimate outcome of any pending legal proceeding or regulatory action. However,
General American does not believe any such action or proceeding 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 General American to meet its obligations under the
Contracts.

                             FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   The financial statements of General American which are included in this
prospectus supplement should be distinguished from the financial statements of
the Separate Account, which are also included in this prospectus supplement,
and should be considered only as bearing on the ability of General American to
meet its obligations under the Policy. They should not be considered as bearing
on the investment performance of the assets held in the Separate Account.

THE COMPANY

   General American is principally engaged in writing individual life insurance
policies and annuity contracts. It is admitted to do business in 49 states, the
District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and in four Canadian provinces. The
principal offices (Home Office) of General American are located at 13045 Tesson
Ferry Road, St. Louis, Missouri 63128.

   On January 12, 2016, MetLife, Inc. announced its plan to pursue the




separation of a substantial portion of its retail segment and is currently
evaluating structural alternatives for such a separation. Any separation
transaction that might occur will be subject to the satisfaction of various
conditions and approvals, including approval of any transaction by the MetLife,
Inc. Board of Directors, satisfaction of any applicable requirements of the
SEC, and receipt of insurance and other regulatory approvals and other
anticipated conditions. Because the form of a separation has not yet been set,
MetLife, Inc. cannot currently provide a specific potential completion date or
information about the potential impact on the financial strength of any company
that issues variable insurance products. No assurance can be given regarding
the form that a separation transaction may take or the specific terms thereof,
or that a separation will in fact occur. However, any separation transaction
will not affect the terms or conditions of your Policy, and General American
Life Insurance Company will remain fully responsible for its respective
contractual obligations to Policy owners.

   Transactions and Inquiries

   You may request a transfer or reallocation of future premiums by written
request (which may be telecopied) to our Administrative Office, by telephoning
us, or over the Internet . To request a transfer or reallocation by telephone,
you should contact your registered representative, or contact us at (800)
638-9294. To request a transfer or reallocation over the Internet, you may log
on to our website at www.genamerica.com. We use reasonable procedures to
confirm that instructions communicated by telephone, facsimile or Internet are
genuine. Any telephone, facsimile or Internet instructions that we reasonably
believe to be genuine will be your responsibility, including losses arising
from any errors in the communication of instructions. However, because
telephone and Internet transactions may be available to anyone who provides
certain information about you and your Policy, 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, facsimile, and computer systems (including the Internet) may not
always be available. Any telephone, facsimile, or computer system, whether it
is yours, your service provider's, your registered representative's, or ours,
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 by writing to our Administrative Office.

   If you send premium payments or transaction requests to an address other
than the one we have designated for receipt of such payments or requests, we
may return the premium payment to you, or there may be a delay in applying the
payment or transaction to your Policy.

THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT

   The separate account consists of divisions, each of which corresponds to an
underlying Fund. Each division may either make money or lose money. Therefore
if you invest in a division of the separate account, you may either make money
or lose money, depending on the investment experience of that division. There
is no guaranteed rate of return in the separate account.

   The following chart shows the Funds that are available under the Policy
along with the name of the investment adviser, sub-adviser (where applicable)
and investment objective of each Fund. The Funds have different investment
goals and strategies. You should review the prospectus of each Fund, or seek
professional guidance in determining which Fund(s) best meet your objectives.




NOTE: The Russell Investment Funds are not available to Destiny or Executive
Benefit Policies. For all other Policies, the Russell Investment Funds are only
available for Policies with an issue date prior to January 1, 2000.

Expenses shown in the table reflect any current fee waiver or expense
reimbursement arrangement that will remain in effect for a period of at least
one year from the date of the Fund's 2016 prospectus. "0.00%" in the Fee Waiver
and/or Expense Reimbursement column indicates that there is such an arrangement
in effect for the Fund, but that the expenses of the Fund are below the level
that would trigger the waiver or reimbursement. Fee waiver and expense
reimbursement arrangements with a duration of less than one year, or
arrangements that may be terminated without the consent of the Fund's board of
directors or trustees, are not shown.

                              FEDERAL TAX MATTERS

INTRODUCTION

   The following summary provides a general description of the Federal income
tax considerations associated with the Policy and does not purport to be
complete or to cover all tax situations. The summary does not address state,
local or foreign tax issues related to the Policy. This discussion is not
intended as tax advice. Counsel or other competent tax advisers should be
consulted for more complete information. This discussion is based upon General
American's understanding of the present Federal income tax laws. No
representation is made as to the likelihood of continuation of the present
Federal income tax laws or as to how they may be interpreted by the Internal
Revenue Service. It should be further understood that the following discussion
is not exhaustive and that special rules not described herein may be applicable
in certain situations.

TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY

   In order to qualify as a life insurance contract for Federal income tax
purposes and to receive the tax treatment normally accorded life insurance
contracts under Federal tax law, a Policy must satisfy certain requirements
which are set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. Guidance as to how these
requirements are to be applied is limited. Nevertheless, we anticipate that the
Policy should be deemed to be a life insurance contract under Federal tax law.
However, if your Policy is issued on a substandard or guaranteed issue basis,
there is additional uncertainty. We may take appropriate steps to bring the
Policy into compliance with applicable requirements, and we reserve the right
to restrict Policy transactions in order to do so. The insurance proceeds
payable on the death of the insured will never be less than the minimum amount
required for the Policy to be treated as life insurance under section 7702 of
the Internal Revenue Code, as in effect on the date the Policy was issued.

   In some circumstances, owners of variable contracts who retain excessive
control over the investment of the underlying separate account assets may be
treated as the owners of those assets. Although published guidance in this area
does not address certain aspects of the Policies, we believe that the Owner of
a Policy should not be treated as the owner of the Separate Account assets. We
reserve the right to modify the Policies to bring them into conformity with
applicable standards should such modification be necessary to prevent Owners of
the Policies from being treated as the owners of the underlying Separate
Account assets.

   In addition, the Code requires that the investments of the Separate Account
be "adequately diversified" in order for the Policies to be treated as life
insurance contracts for Federal income tax purposes. It is intended that the
Separate Account, through the Funds, will satisfy these diversification
requirements. If Fund shares are sold directly to either non-qualified plans or
to tax-qualified retirement plans that later lose their tax qualified status,
there may be adverse consequences under the diversification rules.

   The following discussion assumes that the Policy will qualify as a life
insurance contract for Federal income tax purposes.

   TAX TREATMENT OF POLICY BENEFITS. The death benefit under the Policy should
generally be excludable from the gross income of the Beneficiary to the extent
provided in Section 101 of the Code. In the case of employer-owned life




insurance as defined in Section 101(j), the amount of the death benefit
excludable from gross income is limited to premiums paid unless the Policy
falls within certain specified exceptions and a notice and consent requirement
is satisfied before the Policy is issued. Certain specified exceptions are
based on the status of an employee as highly compensated, a director or
recently employed. There are also exceptions for Policy proceeds paid to an
employee's heirs. These exceptions only apply if proper notice is given to the
insured employee and consent is received from the insured employee before the
issuance of the Policy. These rules apply to Policies issued August 18, 2006
and later and also apply to policies issued before August 18, 2006 after a
material increase in the death benefit or other material change. An IRS
reporting requirement applies to employer-owned

life insurance subject to these rules. Because these rules are complex and will
affect the tax treatment of death benefits, it is advisable to consult tax
counsel. The death benefit will also be taxable in the case of a
transfer-for-value unless certain exceptions apply.

   Many changes or transactions involving a Policy may have tax consequences,
depending on the circumstances. Such changes include, but are not limited to,
the exchange of the Policy, a change of the Policy's Face Amount, a Policy
Loan, an additional premium payment, a Policy lapse with an outstanding Policy
Loan, a partial withdrawal, or a surrender of the Policy. The transfer of the
Policy or designation of a Beneficiary may have Federal, state, and/or local
transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of gift,
estate, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. For example, the transfer of
the Policy to, or the designation as a Beneficiary of, or the payment of
proceeds to, a person who is assigned to a generation which is two or more
generations below the generation assignment of the Owner may have generation
skipping transfer tax consequences under Federal tax law. The individual
situation of each Owner or Beneficiary will determine the extent, if any, to
which Federal, state, and local transfer and inheritance taxes may be imposed
and how ownership or receipt of Policy proceeds will be treated for purposes of
Federal, state and local estate, inheritance, generation skipping and other
taxes.

   A Policy may also be used in various arrangements, including non-qualified
deferred compensation or salary continuation plans, split dollar insurance
plans, executive bonus plans, retiree medical benefit plans and others. The tax
consequences of such plans may vary depending on the particular facts and
circumstances of each individual arrangement. If you are contemplating a change
to an existing Policy or using a Policy in any arrangement the value of which
depends in part on its tax consequences, you should be sure to consult a
qualified tax adviser regarding the tax attributes of the particular
arrangement.

   Generally, the Owner will not be deemed to be in constructive receipt of the
Policy's Cash Value, including increments thereof, under the Policy until there
is a distribution or a deemed distribution. Under a complete surrender or lapse
of any Policy, if the amount received plus the amount of outstanding
Indebtedness exceeds the total investments in the Policy, the excess will
generally be treated as ordinary income subject to tax. The tax consequences of
other distributions from, and Policy Loans taken from or secured by, a Policy
depend upon whether the Policy is classified as a "modified endowment contract".

   Ownership of the Policy by a corporation, trust or other non-natural person
could jeopardize some (or all) of such entity's interest deduction under Code
section 264, even where such entity's indebtedness is in no way connected to
the Policy. In addition, under section 264(f)(5), if a business (other than a
sole proprietorship) is directly or indirectly a beneficiary of the Policy, the
Policy could be treated as held by the business for purposes of the section
264(f) entity-holder rules. Therefore, it would be advisable to consult with a
qualified tax adviser before any non-natural person is made a Policy Owner or
holder of the Policy or before a business (other than a sole proprietorship) is
made a beneficiary of the Policy.

   MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS. A Policy may be treated as a modified
endowment contract depending upon the amount of premiums paid in relation to
the death benefit provided under such Policy. The premium limitation rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are extremely
complex. In general, however, a Policy will be a modified endowment contract if
the accumulated premiums paid at any time during the first seven Policy Years
exceed the sum of the level premiums which would have been paid on or before
such time if the Policy provided for paid-up future benefits after the payment
of seven level annual premiums.

   In addition, if a Policy is "materially changed" it may cause such Policy to
be treated as a modified endowment contract. The material change rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are also
extremely complex. In general, however, the determination of whether a Policy
will be a modified endowment contract after a material change generally depends
upon the relationship among the death benefit at the time of such change, the
Cash Value at the time of the change and the additional premiums paid in the
seven Policy Years starting with the date on which the material change occurs.




   Moreover, a life insurance contract received in exchange for a life
insurance contract classified as a modified endowment contract will also be
treated as a modified endowment contract. A reduction in a Policy's benefits
may also cause such Policy to become a modified endowment contract.

   Accordingly, a prospective Owner should contact a competent tax adviser
before purchasing a Policy to determine the circumstances under which the
Policy would be a modified endowment contract. In addition, an Owner should
contact a competent tax adviser before paying any additional premiums or making
any other change to, including an exchange of, a

Policy to determine whether such premium or change would cause the Policy (or
the new Policy in the case of an exchange) to be treated as a modified
endowment contract.

NOTE: MOST DESTINY POLICIES WERE MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTACTS FROM THE DATE OF
ISSUE, THEREFORE, DISTRIBUTIONS FROM MOST DESTINY POLICIES ARE TAXED AS FOLLOWS:

         DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT.
 Policies classified as modified endowment contracts will be subject to the
following tax rules: First, all distributions, including distributions
upon surrender, from such a Policy are treated as ordinary income subject to
tax up to the amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Cash Value immediately
before the distribution over the investment in the Policy (described below) at
such time. Second, Policy Loans taken from, or secured by, such a Policy, as
well as due but unpaid interest thereon, are treated as distributions from such
a Policy and taxed accordingly. Third, a 10 percent additional income tax is
imposed on the portion of any distribution from, or Policy Loan taken from or
secured by, such a Policy that is included in income, except where the
distribution or Policy Loan (a) is made on or after the Owner attains age 59
1/2, (b) is attributable to the Owner's becoming disabled, or (c) is part of a
series of substantially equal periodic payments for the life (or life
expectancy) of the Owner or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the
Owner and the Owner's Beneficiary. The foregoing exceptions to the 10 percent
additional income tax will generally not apply to a Policy Owner that is a
non-natural person, such as a corporation.

   DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES NOT CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT.
Distributions from Policies not classified as a modified endowment contract are
generally treated first as a non-taxable recovery of the investment in the
Policy (described below) and then, only after the return of all such investment
in the Policy, as gain taxable as ordinary income. An exception to this general
rule occurs in the case of a decrease in the Policy's death benefit (possibly
including a partial withdrawal) or any other change that reduces benefits under
the Policy in the first 15 years after the Policy is issued and that results in
cash distribution to the Owner in order for the Policy to continue to qualify
as a life insurance contract for Federal income tax purposes. Such a cash
distribution will be subject to different tax rules and may be treated in whole
or in part as taxable income.

   Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment
contract should generally not be treated as distributions. Instead, such loans
should generally be treated as indebtedness of the Owner. However, because the
tax consequences associated with Policy Loans are not always clear, in
particular, with respect to Policy Loans outstanding after the tenth Policy
year, you should consult a tax adviser prior to taking any Policy Loan.

   Upon a complete surrender or lapse of a Policy that is not a modified
endowment contract, if the amount received plus the amount of indebtedness
exceeds the total investment in the Policy, the excess will generally be
treated as ordinary income subject to tax.

   Neither distributions (including distributions upon surrender or lapse) nor
Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment
contract are subject to the 10 percent additional income tax.

   If a Policy which is not a modified endowment contract subsequently becomes
a modified endowment contract, then any distribution made from the Policy
within two years prior to the date of such change in status may become taxable.

   POLICY LOANS. Generally, interest paid on any loan under a life insurance
Policy is not deductible. AN OWNER SHOULD CONSULT A COMPETENT TAX ADVISER IF
THE DEDUCTIBILITY OF LOAN INTEREST IS A CONSIDERATION IN THE PURCHASE OF A
POLICY. If a Policy Loan is outstanding when a Policy is canceled or lapses,
the amount of the outstanding Indebtedness will be added to the amount
distributed and will be taxed accordingly.

   INVESTMENT IN THE POLICY. Investment in the Policy means (i) the aggregate
amount of any premiums or other consideration paid for a Policy, minus (ii) the
aggregate amount received under the Policy which is excluded from gross income
of the Owner (except that the amount of any Policy Loan from, or secured by, a
Policy that is a modified endowment contract, to the extent such amount is
excluded from gross income, will be disregarded), plus (iii) the amount of any
Policy Loan from, or secured by, a Policy that is a modified endowment contract




to the extent that such amount is included in the gross income of the Owner.
   MULTIPLE POLICIES. All modified endowment contracts that are issued by
General American (or its affiliates) to the same Owner during any calendar year
are treated as one modified endowment contract for purposes of determining the
amount includible in gross income under Section 72(e) of the Code.

   LIFE INSURANCE PURCHASES BY NONRESIDENT ALIENS AND FOREIGN
CORPORATIONS. Policy Owners that are not U.S. citizens or residents will
generally be subject to U.S. Federal withholding tax on taxable distributions
from life insurance policies at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies.
In addition, Policy Owners may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and
taxes that may be imposed by the Policy Owner's country of citizenship or
residence.

   WITHHOLDING. To the extent that Policy distributions are taxable, they are
generally subject to withholding for the recipient's Federal income tax
liability. Recipients can generally elect, however, not to have tax withheld
from distributions.

   ESTATE, GIFT AND GENERATION-SKIPPING TRANSFER TAXES. The transfer of the
Policy or the designation of a beneficiary may have Federal, state, and/or
local transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of
gift, estate, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. When the insured dies,
the death proceeds will generally be includable in the Policy Owner's estate
for purposes of the Federal estate tax if the Policy Owner was the insured,
retained incidents of ownership at death, or made a gift transfer of the Policy
within 3 years of death. If the Policy Owner was not the insured, the fair
market value of the Policy would be included in the Policy Owner's estate upon
the Policy Owner's death.

   Moreover, under certain circumstances, the Internal Revenue Code may impose
a "generation-skipping transfer tax" when all or part of a life insurance
policy is transferred to, or a death benefit is paid to, an individual two or
more generations younger than the Policy Owner. Regulations issued under the
Internal Revenue Code may require us to deduct the tax from your Policy, or
from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the IRS.

   Qualified tax advisers should be consulted concerning the estate and gift
tax consequences of Policy ownership and distributions under Federal, state and
local law. The individual situation of each Policy Owner or beneficiary will
determine the extent, if any, to which Federal, state, and local transfer and
inheritance taxes may be imposed and how ownership or receipt of Policy
proceeds will be treated for purposes of Federal, state and local estate,
inheritance, generation-skipping and other taxes.

   In general, current rules provide for a $5 million estate, gift and
generation-skipping transfer tax exemption (as indexed for inflation) and a top
tax rate of 40 percent.

   The complexity of the tax law, along with uncertainty as to how it might be
modified in coming years, underscores the importance of seeking guidance from a
qualified adviser to help ensure that your estate plan adequately addresses
your needs and those of your beneficiaries under all possible scenarios.

   CONTINUATION OF POLICY BEYOND ATTAINED AGE 100. The tax consequences of
continuing the Policy beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100 birthday are
unclear. You should consult a tax adviser if you intend to keep the Policy in
force beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100.

   GUIDANCE ON SPLIT DOLLAR PLANS. The IRS has issued guidance on split dollar
insurance plans. A tax adviser should be consulted with respect to this
guidance if your Policy is, or may become, subject to a split dollar insurance
plan. If your Policy is part of an equity split dollar arrangement taxed under
the economic benefit regime, there is a risk that some portion of the Policy
cash value may be taxed prior to any Policy distribution.

   In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act"), which was signed
into law on July 30, 2002, prohibits, with limited exceptions, publicly-traded
companies, including non-U.S. companies that have securities listed on U.S.
exchanges, from extending, directly or indirectly or through a subsidiary, many
types of personal loans to their directors or executive officers. It is
possible that this prohibition may be interpreted to apply to split-dollar life
insurance arrangements for directors and executive officers of such companies,
since such arrangements can arguably be viewed as involving a loan from the
employer for at least some purposes.

   Any affected business contemplating the payment of a premium on an existing
Policy or the purchase of new Policy in connection with a split-dollar life
insurance arrangement should consult legal counsel.

   Split dollar insurance plans that provide deferred compensation may be
subject to specific tax rules governing deferred compensation arrangements.
Failure to adhere to these rules will result in adverse tax consequences.




   CORPORATE ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX. There may also be an indirect tax upon
the income in the Policy or the proceeds of a Policy under the Federal
corporate alternative minimum tax, if the Policy Owner is subject to that tax.

   PUERTO RICO. We believe that Policies subject to Puerto Rican tax law will
generally receive treatment similar, with certain modifications, to that
described above. Among other differences, Policies governed by Puerto Rican tax
law are not currently subject to the rules described above regarding Modified
Endowment Contracts. You should consult your tax adviser with respect to Puerto
Rican tax law governing the Policies.

   POSSIBLE TAX LAW CHANGES. Although the likelihood of legislative changes is
uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the Policy
could change by legislation or otherwise. Consult a tax adviser with respect to
legislative developments and their effect on the Policy.

   FOREIGN TAX CREDITS. To the extent permitted under Federal tax law, we may
claim the benefit of certain foreign tax credits attributable to taxes paid by
certain Eligible Funds to foreign jurisdictions.

   POSSIBLE CHARGE FOR TAXES. At the present time, General American makes no
charge to the Separate Account for any Federal, state, or local taxes (as
opposed to Premium Tax Charges which are deducted from premium payments) that
it incurs which may be attributable to such Separate Account or to the
Policies. General American, however, reserves the right in the future to make a
charge for any such tax or other economic burden resulting from the application
of the tax laws that it determines to be properly attributable to the Separate
Account or to the Policies.

                    RESTRICTIONS ON FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS

   Applicable laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering
might, in certain circumstances, require us to reject a premium payment and/or
block or "freeze" your Policy. If these laws apply in a particular situation,
we would not be allowed to process any request for withdrawals, surrenders,
loans or death benefits, make transfers or continue making payments under your
death benefit option until instructions are received from the appropriate
regulator. We also may be required to provide additional information about you
or your Policy to government regulators.

                               LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

   In the ordinary course of business, General American, similar to other life
insurance companies, is involved in lawsuits (including class action lawsuits),
arbitrations and other legal proceedings. Also, from time to time, state and
federal regulators or other officials conduct formal and informal examinations
or undertake other actions dealing with various aspects of the financial
services and insurance industries. In some legal proceedings involving
insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement
payments have been made. It is not possible to predict with certainty the
ultimate outcome of any pending legal proceeding or regulatory action. However,
General American does not believe any such action or proceeding 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 General American to meet its obligations under the
Contracts.

                             FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   The financial statements of General American which are included in this
prospectus supplement should be distinguished from the financial statements of
the Separate Account, which are also included in this prospectus supplement,
and should be considered only as bearing on the ability of General American to
meet its obligations under the Policy. They should not be considered as bearing
on the investment performance of the assets held in the Separate Account.

 Transactions and Inquiries

   You may request an account transfer or reallocation of future premiums by
written request (which may be telecopied) to our Administrative Office, by
telephoning us, or over the Internet. To request a transfer or reallocation by
telephone, you should contact your registered representative, or contact us at
(800) 638-9294. To request a transfer or reallocation over the Internet, you
may log on to our website at www.genamerica.com. We use reasonable procedures
to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone, facsimile or Internet
are genuine. Any telephone, facsimile or Internet instructions that we
reasonably believe to be genuine will be your responsibility, including losses
arising from any errors in the communication of instructions. However, because
telephone and Internet transactions may be available to anyone who provides
certain information about you and your Policy, 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, facsimile, and computer systems (including the Internet) may not
always be available. Any telephone, facsimile, or computer system, whether it
is yours, your service provider's, your registered representative's, or ours,
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 by writing to our Administrative Office.

   If you send premium payments or transaction requests to an address other
than the one we have designated for receipt of such payments or requests, we
may return the premium payment to you, or there may be a delay in applying the
payment or transaction to your Policy.

CYBERSECURITY

   Our variable insurance products business is largely conducted through
digital communications and data storage networks and systems operated by us and
our service providers or other business partners (e.g., the Funds and the firms
involved in the distribution and sale of our variable life insurance policies).
For example, many routine operations, such as processing owners' requests and
elections and day-to-day record keeping, are all executed through computer
networks and systems.

   We have established administrative and technical controls and a business
continuity plan to protect our operations against cybersecurity breaches.
Despite these protocols, a cybersecurity breach could have a material, negative
impact on General American and the separate account, as well as individual
policy owners and their policies. Our operations also could be negatively
affected by a cybersecurity breach at a third party, such as a governmental or
regulatory authority or another participant in the financial markets.




   Cybersecurity breaches can be intentional or unintentional events, and can
occur through unauthorized access to computer systems, networks or devices;
infection from computer viruses or other malicious software code; or attacks
that shut down, disable, slow or otherwise disrupt operations, business
processes or website access or functionality. Cybersecurity breaches can
interfere with our processing of policy transactions, including the processing
of transfer orders from our website or with the Funds; impact our ability to
calculate accumulation unit values; cause the release and possible destruction
of confidential policy owner or business information; or impede order
processing or cause other operational issues. Although we continually make
efforts to identify and reduce our exposure to cybersecurity risk, there is no
guarantee that we will be able to successfully manage this risk at all times.

THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT

   The separate account consists of divisions, each of which corresponds to an
underlying Fund. Each division may either make money or lose money. Therefore
if you invest in a division of the separate account, you may either make money
or lose money, depending on the investment experience of that division. There
is no guaranteed rate of return in the separate account.

   The following chart shows the Funds that are available under the policy
along with the name of the investment adviser, sub-adviser (where applicable)
and investment objective of each Fund. The Funds have different investment
goals and strategies. You should review the prospectus of each Fund, or seek
professional guidance in determining which Fund(s) best meet your objectives.

                              FEDERAL TAX MATTERS

INTRODUCTION

   The following summary provides a general description of the Federal income
tax considerations associated with the Policy and does not purport to be
complete or to cover all situations. The summary does not address state, local
or foreign tax issues related to the Policy. This discussion is not intended as
tax advice. Counsel or other competent tax advisers should be consulted for
more complete information. This discussion is based upon General American's
understanding of the present Federal income tax laws. No representation is made
as to the likelihood of continuation of the present Federal income tax laws or
as to how they may be interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service. It should be
further understood that the following discussion is not exhaustive and that
special rules not described herein may be applicable in certain situations.

TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY

   In order to qualify as a life insurance contract for Federal income tax
purposes and to receive the tax treatment normally accorded life insurance




contracts under Federal tax law, a Policy must satisfy certain requirements
which are set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. Guidance as to how these
requirements are to be applied is limited. Nevertheless, we believe that the
Policies should satisfy the applicable requirements. However, the rules are not
entirely clear with respect to Policies issued on a substandard or guaranteed
issue basis. We may take appropriate steps to bring the Policy into compliance
with applicable requirements, and we reserve the right to restrict Policy
transactions in order to do so. The insurance proceeds payable on the death of
the insured will never be less than the minimum amount required for the Policy
to be treated as life insurance under section 7702 of the Internal Revenue
Code, as in effect on the date the Policy was issued.

   In some circumstances, owners of variable contracts who retain excessive
control over the investment of the underlying separate account assets may be
treated as the owners of those assets. Although published guidance in this area
does not address certain aspects of the Policies, we believe that the Owner of
a Policy should not be treated as the owner of the Separate Account assets. We
reserve the right to modify the Policies to bring them into conformity with
applicable standards should such modification be necessary to prevent Owners of
the Policies from being treated as the owners of the underlying Separate
Account assets.

   In addition, the Code requires that the investments of the Separate Account
be "adequately diversified" in order for the Policies to be treated as life
insurance contracts for Federal income tax purposes. It is intended that the
Separate Account, through the Eligible Funds, will satisfy these
diversification requirements. If Eligible Fund shares are sold directly to
either non-qualified plans or to tax-qualified retirement plans that later lose
their tax qualified status, there may be adverse consequences under the
diversification rules.

   The following discussion assumes that the Policy will qualify as a life
insurance contract for Federal income tax purposes.

   TAX TREATMENT OF POLICY BENEFITS. The death benefit under the Policy should
generally be excludable from the gross income of the Beneficiary to the extent
provided in under Section 101 of the Code. In the case of employer-owned life
insurance as defined in Section 101(j), the amount of the death benefit
excludable from gross income is limited to premiums paid unless the Policy
falls within certain specified exceptions and a notice and consent requirement
is satisfied before the Policy is issued. Certain specified exceptions are
based on the status of an employee as highly compensated, a director or
recently employed. There are also exceptions for Policy proceeds paid to an
employee's heirs. These exceptions only apply if proper notice is given to the
insured employee and consent is received from the insured employee before the
issuance of the Policy. These rules apply to Policies issued August 18, 2006
and later and also apply to policies issued before August 18, 2006 after a
material increase in the death benefit or other material change. An IRS
reporting requirement applies to employer-owned life insurance subject to these
rules. Because these rules are complex and will affect the tax treatment of
death benefits, it is advisable to consult tax counsel. The death benefit will
also be taxable in the case of a transfer-for-value unless certain exceptions
apply.

   Many changes or transactions involving a Policy may have tax consequences,
depending on the circumstances. Such changes include, but are not limited to,
the exchange of the Policy, a change of the Policy's Face Amount, a Policy
Loan, an additional premium payment, a Policy lapse with an outstanding Policy
Loan, a partial withdrawal, or a surrender of the Policy. The transfer of the
Policy or designation of a Beneficiary may have Federal, state, and/or local
transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of gift,
estate, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. For example, the transfer of
the Policy to, or the designation as a Beneficiary of, or the payment of
proceeds to, a person who is assigned to a generation which is two or more
generations below the generation assignment of the Owner may have generation
skipping transfer tax consequences under Federal tax law. The individual
situation of each Owner or Beneficiary will determine the extent, if any, to
which Federal, state, and local transfer and inheritance taxes may be imposed
and how ownership or receipt of Policy proceeds will be treated for purposes of
Federal, state and local estate, inheritance, generation skipping and other
taxes.

   A Policy may also be used in various arrangements, including non-qualified
deferred compensation or salary continuation plans, split dollar insurance
plans, executive bonus plans, retiree medical benefit plans and others. The tax
consequences of such plans may vary depending on the particular facts and
circumstances of each individual arrangement. Therefore, if you are
contemplating a change to an existing Policy or using a Policy in any




arrangement the value of which depends in part on its tax consequences, you
should be sure to consult a qualified tax adviser regarding the tax attributes
of the particular arrangement.

   Generally, the Owner will not be deemed to be in constructive receipt of the
Policy's Cash Value, including increments thereof, under the Policy until there
is a distribution. Under a complete surrender or lapse of any Policy, if the
amount received plus the amount of outstanding Indebtedness exceeds the total
investments in the Policy, the excess will generally be treated as ordinary
income subject to tax. The tax consequences of other distributions from, and
Policy Loans taken from or secured by, a Policy depend upon whether the Policy
is classified as a "modified endowment contract".

   MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS. A policy may be treated as a modified
endowment contract depending upon the amount of premiums paid in relation to
the death benefit provided under such Policy. The premium limitation rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are extremely
complex. In general, however, a Policy will be a modified endowment contract if
the accumulated premiums paid at any time during the first seven Policy Years
exceed the sum of the level premiums which would have been paid on or before
such time if the Policy provided for paid-up future benefits after the payment
of seven level annual premiums.

   In addition, if a Policy is "materially changed" it may cause such Policy to
be treated as a modified endowment contract. The material change rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are also
extremely complex. In general, however, the determination of whether a Policy
will be a modified endowment contract after a material change generally depends
upon the relationship among the death benefit at the time of such change, the
Cash Value at the time of the change and the additional premiums paid in the
seven Policy Years starting with the date on which the material change occurs.

   Moreover, a life insurance contract received in exchange for a life
insurance contract classified as a modified endowment contract will also be
treated as a modified endowment contract. A reduction in a Policy's benefits
may also cause such Policy to become a modified endowment contract.

   Accordingly, a prospective Owner should contact a competent tax adviser
before purchasing a Policy to determine the circumstances under which the
Policy would be a modified endowment contract. In addition, an Owner should
contact a competent tax adviser before paying any additional premiums or making
any other change to, including an exchange of, a Policy to determine whether
such premium or change would cause the Policy (or the new Policy in the case of
an exchange) to be treated as a modified endowment contract.

NOTE: MOST DESTINY POLICIES WERE MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTACTS FROM THE DATE OF
ISSUE, THEREFORE, DISTRIBUTIONS FROM MOST DESTINY POLICIES ARE TAXED AS FOLLOWS:

   DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT.
Policies classified as modified endowment contracts will be subject
to the following tax rules: First, all distributions, including distributions
upon surrender, from such a Policy are treated as ordinary income subject to
tax up to the amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Cash Value immediately
before the distribution over the investment in the Policy (described below) at
such time. Second, Policy Loans taken from, or secured by, such a Policy, as
well as due but unpaid interest thereon, are treated as distributions from such
a Policy and taxed accordingly. Third, a 10 percent additional income tax is
imposed on the portion of any distribution from, or Policy Loan taken from or
secured by, such a Policy that is included in income, except where the
distribution or Policy Loan (a) is made on or after the Owner attains age 59
1/2, (b) is attributable to the Owner's becoming disabled, or (c) is part of
a series of substantially equal periodic payments for the life (or life
expectancy) of the Owner or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the
Owner and the Owner's Beneficiary. The foregoing exceptions to the 10 percent
additional income tax will generally not apply to a Policy Owner that is a
non-natural person, such as a corporation.

   DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES NOT CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT
CONTRACT. Distributions from Policies not classified as a modified endowment
contract are generally treated first as a non-taxable recovery of the
investment in the Policy (described below) and then, only after the return of
all such investment in the Policy, as gain taxable as ordinary income. An
exception to this general rule occurs in the case of a decrease in the Policy's
death benefit (possibly including a partial withdrawal) or any other change
that reduces benefits under the Policy in the first 15 years after the Policy
is issued and that results in cash distribution to the Owner in order for the
Policy to continue to qualify as a life insurance contract for Federal income
tax purposes. Such a cash distribution will be subject to different tax rules




and may be treated in whole or in part as taxable income.
   Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment
contract should generally not be treated as distributions. Instead, such loans
should generally be treated as indebtedness of the Owner. However, because the
tax consequences associated with Policy Loans are not always clear, in
particular, with respect to Policy Loans outstanding after the tenth Policy
year, you should consult a tax adviser prior to taking any Policy Loan.

   Upon a complete surrender or lapse of a Policy that is not a modified
endowment contract, if the amount received plus the amount of indebtedness
exceeds the total investment in the Policy, the excess will generally be
treated as ordinary income subject to tax.

   Neither distributions (including distributions upon surrender or lapse) nor
Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment
contract are subject to the 10 percent additional income tax.

   If a Policy which is not a modified endowment contract subsequently becomes
a modified endowment contract, then any distribution made from the Policy
within two years prior to the date of such change in status may become taxable.

   POLICY LOANS. Generally, interest paid on any loan under a life insurance
Policy is not deductible. AN OWNER SHOULD CONSULT A COMPETENT TAX ADVISER IF
THE DEDUCTIBILITY OF LOAN INTEREST IS A CONSIDERATION IN THE PURCHASE OF A
POLICY. If a Policy Loan is outstanding when a Policy is canceled or lapses,
the amount of the outstanding Indebtedness will be added to the amount
distributed and will be taxed accordingly.

   INVESTMENT IN THE POLICY. Investment in the Policy means (i) the aggregate
amount of any premiums or other consideration paid for a Policy, minus (ii) the
aggregate amount received under the Policy which is excluded from gross income
of the Owner (except that the amount of any Policy Loan from, or secured by, a
Policy that is a modified endowment contract, to the extent such amount is
excluded from gross income, will be disregarded), plus (iii) the amount of any
Policy Loan from, or secured by, a Policy that is a modified endowment contract
to the extent that such amount is included in the gross income of the Owner.

   MULTIPLE POLICES. All modified endowment contracts that are issued by the
Company (or its affiliates) to the same Owner during any calendar year are
treated as one modified endowment contract for purposes of determining the
amount includible in gross income under Section 72(e) of the Code.

   LIFE INSURANCE PURCHASES BY NONRESIDENT ALIENS AND FOREIGN

CORPORATIONS. Policy Owners that are not U.S. citizens or residents will
generally be subject to U.S. Federal withholding tax on taxable distributions
from life insurance policies at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies.
In addition, Policy Owners may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and
taxes that may be imposed by the Policy Owner's country of citizenship or
residence.

   WITHHOLDING. To the extent that Policy distributions are taxable, they are
generally subject to withholding for the recipient's Federal income tax
liability. Recipients can generally elect, however, not to have tax withheld
from distributions.

   ESTATE, GIFT AND GENERATION-SKIPPING TRANSFER TAXES. The transfer of the
Policy or the designation of a beneficiary may have Federal, state, and/or
local transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of
gift, estate, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. When the insured dies,
the death proceeds will generally be includable in the Policy Owner's estate
for purposes of the Federal estate tax if the Policy Owner was the insured,
retained incidents of ownership at death, or made a gift transfer of the Policy
within 3 years of death. If the Policy Owner was not the insured, the fair
market value of the Policy would be included in the Policy Owner's estate upon
the Policy Owner's death.

   Moreover, under certain circumstances, the Internal Revenue Code may impose
a "generation-skipping transfer tax" when all or part of a life insurance
policy is transferred to, or a death benefit is paid to, an individual two or
more generations younger than the Policy Owner. Regulations issued under the
Internal Revenue Code may require us to deduct the tax from your Policy, or
from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the IRS.

   Qualified tax advisers should be consulted concerning the estate and gift
tax consequences of Policy ownership and distributions under Federal, state and
local law. The individual situation of each Policy Owner or beneficiary will
determine the extent, if any, to which Federal, state, and local transfer and




inheritance taxes may be imposed and how ownership or receipt of Policy
proceeds will be treated for purposes of Federal, state and local estate,
inheritance, generation-skipping and other taxes.

   In general, current rules provide for a $5 million estate, gift and
generation-skipping transfer tax exemption (as indexed for inflation) and a top
tax rate of 40 percent.

   The complexity of the tax law, along with uncertainty as to how it might be
modified in coming years, underscores the importance of seeking guidance from a
qualified adviser to help ensure that your estate plan adequately addresses
your needs and those of your beneficiaries under all possible scenarios.

   CONTINUATION OF POLICY BEYOND ATTAINED AGE 100. The tax consequences of
continuing the Policy beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100 birthday are
unclear. You should consult a tax adviser if you intend to keep the Policy in
force beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100.

   GUIDANCE ON SPLIT DOLLAR PLANS. The IRS has issued guidance on split dollar
insurance plans. A tax adviser should be consulted with respect to this
guidance if your Policy is, or may become, subject to a split dollar insurance
plan. If your Policy is part of an equity split dollar arrangement taxed under
the economic benefit regime, there is a risk that some portion of the Policy
cash value may be taxed prior to any Policy distribution.

   In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act") which was signed
into law on July 30, 2002, prohibits, with exceptions, publicly-traded
companies, including non-U.S. companies that have securities listed on U.S.
exchanges, from extending, directly or indirectly or through a subsidiary, many
types of personal loans to their directors or executive officers. It is
possible that this prohibition may be interpreted to apply to split-dollar life
insurance arrangements for directors and executive officers of such companies,
since such arrangements can arguably be viewed as involving a loan from the
employer for at least some purposes.

   Any affected business contemplating the payment of a premium on an existing
Policy or the purchase of new Policy in connection with a split-dollar life
insurance arrangement should consult legal counsel.

   Split dollar insurance plans that provide deferred compensation may be
subject to specific tax rules governing deferred compensation arrangements.
Failure to adhere to these rules will result in adverse tax consequences.

   CORPORATE ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX. There may also be an indirect tax upon
the income in the Policy or the proceeds of a Policy under the Federal
corporate alternative minimum tax, if the Owner is subject to that tax.

   PUERTO RICO. We believe that Policies subject to Puerto Rican tax law will
generally receive treatment similar, with certain modifications, to that
described above. Among other differences, Policies governed by Puerto Rican tax
law are not currently subject to the rules described above regarding Modified
Endowment Contracts. You should consult your tax adviser with respect to Puerto
Rican tax law governing the Policies.

   POSSIBLE TAX LAW CHANGES. Although the likelihood of legislative changes is
uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the Policy
could change by legislation or otherwise. Consult a tax adviser with respect to
legislative developments and their effect on the Policy.

   FOREIGN TAX CREDITS. To the extent permitted under Federal tax law, we may
claim the benefit of certain foreign tax credits attributable to taxes paid by
certain Eligible Funds to foreign jurisdictions.

   POSSIBLE CHARGE FOR TAXES. At the present time, the Company makes no charge
to the Separate Account for any Federal, state, or local taxes (as opposed to
Premium Tax Charges which are deducted from premium payments) that it incurs
which may be attributable to such Separate Account or to the Policies. The
Company, however, reserves the right in the future to make a charge for any
such tax or other economic burden resulting from the application of the tax
laws that it determines to be properly attributable to the Separate Account or
to the Policies.

                    RESTRICTIONS ON FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS

   Applicable laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering
might, in certain circumstances, require us to reject a premium payment and/or
block or "freeze" your Policy. If these laws apply in a particular situation,
we would not be allowed to process any request for withdrawals, surrenders,




loans or death benefits, make transfers or continue making payments under your
death benefit option until instructions are received from the appropriate
regulator. We also may be required to provide additional information about you
or your Policy to government regulators.

                               LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

   In the ordinary course of business, General American, similar to other life
insurance companies, is involved in lawsuits (including class action lawsuits),
arbitrations and other legal proceedings. Also, from time to time, state and
federal regulators or other officials conduct formal and informal examinations
or undertake other actions dealing with various aspects of the financial
services and insurance industries. In some legal proceedings involving
insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement
payments have been made. It is not possible to predict with certainty the
ultimate outcome of any pending legal proceeding or regulatory action. However,
General American does not believe any such action or proceeding 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 General American to meet its obligations under the
Contracts.

                             FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   The financial statements of General American which are included in this
prospectus supplement should be distinguished from the financial statements of
the Separate Account, which are also included in this prospectus supplement,
and should be considered only as bearing on the ability of General American to
meet its obligations under the Policy. They should not be considered as bearing
on the investment performance of the assets held in the Separate Account.

       All Telephone Transactions  (800) 638-9294
       and Inquiries

   You may request an account transfer or reallocation of future premiums by
written request (which may be telecopied) to our Administrative Office, by
telephoning us, or over the Internet. To request a transfer or reallocation by
telephone, you should contact your registered representative, or contact us at
(800) 638-9294. To request a transfer or reallocation over the Internet, you
may log on to our website at www.genamerica.com. We use reasonable procedures
to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone, facsimile or Internet
are genuine. Any telephone, facsimile or Internet instructions that we
reasonably believe to be genuine will be your responsibility, including losses
arising from any errors in the communication of instructions. However, because
telephone and Internet transactions may be available to anyone who provides
certain information about you and your Policy, 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, facsimile, and computer systems (including the Internet) may not
always be available. Any telephone, facsimile, or computer system, whether it
is yours, your service provider's, your registered representative's, or ours,
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 by writing to our Administrative Office.

   If you send premium payments or transaction requests to an address other
than the one we have designated for receipt of such payments or requests, we
may return the premium payment to you, or there may be a delay in applying the
payment or transaction to your Policy.

THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT

   The separate account consists of divisions, each of which corresponds to an
underlying Fund. Each division may either make money or lose money. Therefore
if you invest in a division of the separate account, you may either make money
or lose money, depending on the investment experience of that division. There
is no guaranteed rate of return in the separate account.

   The following chart shows the Funds that are available under the policy
along with the name of the investment adviser, sub-adviser (where applicable)
and investment objective of each Fund. The Funds have different investment
goals and strategies. You should review the prospectus of each Fund, or seek
professional guidance in determining which Fund(s) best meet your objectives.

   of the Division investing in the BlackRock Money Market Portfolio may become
   extremely low and possibly negative.

tax considerations associated with the Policy and does not purport to be
complete or to cover all situations. The summary does not address state, local
or foreign tax issues related to the Policy. This discussion is not intended as
tax advice. Counsel or other competent tax advisers should be consulted for
more complete information. This discussion is based upon General American's
understanding of the present Federal income tax laws as they are currently
interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service. No representation is made as to
the likelihood of continuation of the present Federal income tax laws or of the
current interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service. It should be further
understood that the following discussion is not exhaustive and that special
rules not described herein may be applicable in certain situations.

   IRS CIRCULAR 230 NOTICE: The tax information contained herein is not
intended to (and cannot) be used by anyone to avoid IRS penalties. It is
intended to support the sale of the Policy. The Policy Owner should seek tax
advice based on the Policy Owner's particular circumstances from an independent
tax adviser.

TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY

   In order to qualify as a life insurance contract for Federal income tax
purposes and to receive the tax treatment normally accorded life insurance
contracts under Federal tax law, a Policy must satisfy certain requirements
which are set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. Guidance as to how these
requirements are to be applied is limited, in particular, with respect to joint
and last survivor life insurance policies. Nevertheless, we believe that the
Policies should satisfy the applicable requirements. However, the rules are not
entirely clear with respect to Policies issued on a substandard or guaranteed
issue basis. We may take appropriate steps to bring the Policy into compliance
with applicable requirements, and we reserve the right to restrict Policy
transactions in order to do so. The insurance proceeds payable on the death of
the insured will never be less than the minimum amount required for the Policy
to be treated as life insurance under section 7702 of the Internal Revenue
Code, as in effect on the date the Policy was issued.

   In some circumstances, owners of variable contracts who retain excessive
control over the investment of the underlying separate account assets may be
treated as the owners of those assets. Although published guidance in this area
does not address certain aspects of the Policies, we believe that the Owner of
a Policy should not be treated as the owner of the Separate Account assets. We
reserve the right to modify the Policies to bring them into conformity with
applicable standards should such modification be necessary to prevent Owners of
the Policies from being treated as the owners of the underlying Separate
Account assets.

   In addition, the Code requires that the investments of the Separate Account
be "adequately diversified" in order for the Policies to be treated as life
insurance contracts for Federal income tax purposes. It is intended that the
Separate Account, through the Eligible Funds, will satisfy these
diversification requirements. If Eligible Fund shares are sold directly to
either non-qualified plans or to tax-qualified retirement plans that later lose
their tax qualified status, there may be adverse consequences under the
diversification rules.

   The following discussion assumes that the Policy will qualify as a life
insurance contract for Federal income tax purposes.

   TAX TREATMENT OF POLICY BENEFITS. In general, the proceeds and Cash Value
increases of a Policy should be treated in a manner consistent with a
fixed-benefit life insurance policy for Federal income tax purposes. Thus, the
death benefit under the Policy should be excludable from the gross income of
the Beneficiary to the extent provided in under Section 101 of the Code. In the




case of employer-owned life insurance as defined in Section 101(j), the amount
of the death benefit excludable from gross income is limited to premiums paid
unless the Policy falls within certain specified exceptions and a notice and
consent requirement is satisfied before the Policy is issued. Certain specified
exceptions are based on the status of an employee as highly compensated, a
director or recently employed. There are also exceptions for Policy proceeds
paid to an employee's heirs. These exceptions only apply if proper notice is
given to the insured employee and consent is received from the insured employee
before the issuance of the Policy. These rules apply to Policies issued
August 18, 2006 and later and also apply to policies issued before August 18,
2006 after a material increase in the death benefit or other material change.
An IRS reporting requirement applies to employer-owned life insurance subject
to these rules. Because these rules are complex and will affect the tax
treatment of death benefits, it is advisable to consult tax counsel. The death
benefit will also be taxable in the case of a transfer-for-value unless certain
exceptions apply.

   Many changes or transactions involving a Policy may have tax consequences,
depending on the circumstances. Such changes include, but are not limited to,
the exchange of the Policy, a change of the Policy's Face Amount, a Policy
Loan, an additional premium payment, a Policy lapse with an outstanding Policy
Loan, a partial withdrawal, or a surrender of the Policy. The transfer of the
Policy or designation of a Beneficiary may have Federal, state, and/or local
transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of gift,
estate, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. For example, the transfer of
the Policy to, or the designation as a Beneficiary of, or the payment of
proceeds to, a person who is assigned to a generation which is two or more
generations below the generation assignment of the Owner may have generation
skipping transfer tax consequences under Federal tax law. The individual
situation of each Owner or Beneficiary will determine the extent, if any, to
which Federal, state, and local transfer and inheritance taxes may be imposed
and how ownership or receipt of Policy proceeds will be treated for purposes of
Federal, state and local estate, inheritance, generation skipping and other
taxes.

   A Policy may also be used in various arrangements, including non-qualified
deferred compensation or salary continuation plans, split dollar insurance
plans, executive bonus plans, retiree medical benefit plans and others. The tax
consequences of such plans may vary depending on the particular facts and
circumstances of each individual arrangement. Therefore, if you are
contemplating the use of a Policy in any arrangement the value of which depends
in part on its tax consequences, you should be sure to consult a qualified tax
adviser regarding the tax attributes of the particular arrangement.

   Generally, the Owner will not be deemed to be in constructive receipt of the
Policy's Cash Value, including increments thereof, under the Policy until there
is a distribution. Under a complete surrender or lapse of any Policy, if the
amount received plus the amount of outstanding Indebtedness exceeds the total
investments in the Policy, the excess will generally be treated as ordinary
income subject to tax. The tax consequences of other distributions from, and
Policy Loans taken from or secured by, a Policy depend upon whether the Policy
is classified as a "modified endowment contract".

   MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS. A policy may be treated as a modified
endowment contract depending upon the amount of premiums paid in relation to
the death benefit provided under such Policy. The premium limitation rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are extremely
complex. In general, however, a Policy will be a modified endowment contract if
the accumulated premiums paid at any time during the first seven Policy Years
exceed the sum of the net level premiums which would have been paid on or
before such time if the Policy provided for paid-up future benefits after the
payment of seven level annual premiums.

   In addition, if a Policy is "materially changed" it may cause such Policy to
be treated as a modified endowment contract. The material change rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are also
extremely complex. In general, however, the determination of whether a Policy
will be a modified endowment contract after a material change generally depends
upon the relationship among the death benefit at the time of such change, the
Cash Value at the time of the change and the additional premiums paid in the
seven Policy Years starting with the date on which the material change occurs.

   Moreover, a life insurance contract received in exchange for a life
insurance contract classified as a modified endowment contract will also be
treated as a modified endowment contract. A reduction in a Policy's benefits
may also cause such Policy to become a modified endowment contract.

   Accordingly, a prospective Owner should contact a competent tax adviser
before purchasing a Policy to determine the circumstances under which the
Policy would be a modified endowment contract. In addition, an Owner should
contact a competent tax adviser before paying any additional premiums or making
any other change to, including an exchange of, a Policy to determine whether
such premium or change would cause the Policy (or the new Policy in the case of
an exchange) to be treated as a modified endowment contract.

NOTE: MOST DESTINY POLICIES WERE MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTACTS FROM THE DATE OF





ISSUE, THEREFORE, DISTRIBUTIONS FROM MOST DESTINY POLICIES ARE TAXED AS FOLLOWS:
DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT. Policies
classified as modified endowment contracts will be subject to the following tax
rules: First, all distributions, including distributions upon surrender, from
such a Policy are treated as ordinary income subject to tax up to the amount
equal to the excess (if any) of the Cash Value immediately before the
distribution over the investment in the Policy (described below) at such time.
Second, Policy Loans taken from, or secured by, such a Policy, as well as due
but unpaid interest thereon, are treated as distributions from such a Policy and
taxed accordingly. Third, a 10 percent additional income tax is imposed on the
portion of any distribution from, or Policy Loan taken from or secured by, such
a Policy that is included in income, except where the distribution or Policy
Loan (a) is made on or after the Owner attains age 59 1/2, (b) is attributable
to the Owner's becoming disabled, or (c) is part of a series of substantially
equal periodic payments for the life (or life expectancy) of the Owner or the
joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the Owner and the Owner's
Beneficiary. The foregoing exceptions to the 10 percent additional income tax
will generally not apply to a corporate Policy Owner.

   DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES NOT CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT.
Distributions from Policies not classified as a modified endowment contracts
are generally treated as first recovering the investment in the Policy
(described below) and then, only after the return of all such investment in the
Policy, as distributing taxable income. An exception to this general rule
occurs in the case of a decrease in the Policy's death benefit (possibly
including a partial withdrawal) or any other change that reduces benefits under
the Policy in the first 15 years after the Policy is issued and that results in
cash distribution to the Owner in order for the Policy to continue complying
with the Section 7702 definitional limits. Such a cash distribution will be
taxed in whole or in part as ordinary income (to the extent of any gain in the
Policy) under rules prescribed in Section 7702.

   Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment
contract should generally not be treated as distributions. Instead, such loans
should generally be treated as indebtedness of the Owner. However, because the
tax consequences associated with Policy Loans are not always clear, in
particular, with respect to Policy Loans outstanding after the tenth Policy
year, you should consult a tax adviser prior to taking any Policy Loan.

   Upon a complete surrender or lapse of a Policy that is not a modified
endowment contract, if the amount received plus the amount of indebtedness
exceeds the total investment in the Policy, the excess will generally be
treated as ordinary income subject to tax.

   Neither distributions (including distributions upon surrender or lapse) nor
Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment
contract are subject to the 10 percent additional income tax.

   If a Policy which is not a modified endowment contract subsequently becomes
a modified endowment contract, then any distribution made from the Policy
within two years prior to the date of such change in status may become taxable.

   POLICY LOANS. Generally, interest paid on any loan under a life insurance
Policy is not deductible. AN OWNER SHOULD CONSULT A COMPETENT TAX ADVISER IF
THE DEDUCTIBILITY OF LOAN INTEREST IS A CONSIDERATION IN THE PURCHASE OF A
POLICY. If a Policy Loan is outstanding when a Policy is canceled or lapses,
the amount of the outstanding Indebtedness will be added to the amount
distributed and will be taxed accordingly.

   INVESTMENT IN THE POLICY. Investment in the Policy means (i) the aggregate
amount of any premiums or other consideration paid for a Policy, minus (ii) the
aggregate amount received under the Policy which is excluded from gross income
of the Owner (except that the amount of any Policy Loan from, or secured by, a
Policy that is a modified endowment contract, to the extent such amount is
excluded from gross income, will be disregarded), plus (iii) the amount of any
Policy Loan from, or secured by, a Policy that is a modified endowment contract
to the extent that such amount is included in the gross income of the Owner.

   MULTIPLE POLICES. All modified endowment contracts that are issued by the
Company (or its affiliates) to the same Owner during any calendar year are
treated as one modified endowment contract for purposes of determining the
amount includible in gross income under Section 72(e) of the Code.

   LIFE INSURANCE PURCHASES BY NONRESIDENT ALIENS AND FOREIGN CORPORATIONS.
Policy Owners that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally be subject
to U.S. Federal withholding tax on taxable distributions from life insurance
policies at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, Policy
Owners may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes that may be
imposed by the Policy Owner's country of citizenship or residence.

   WITHHOLDING. To the extent that Policy distributions are taxable, they are
generally subject to withholding for the recipient's Federal income tax
liability. Recipients can generally elect, however, not to have tax withheld
from distributions.




   ESTATE, GIFT AND GENERATION-SKIPPING TRANSFER TAXES. The transfer of the
Policy or the designation of a beneficiary may have Federal, state, and/or
local transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of
gift, estate, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. When the insured dies,
the death proceeds will generally be includable in the Policy Owner's estate
for purposes of the Federal estate tax if the Policy Owner was the insured,
retained incidents of ownership at death, or made a gift transfer of the Policy
within 3 years of death. If the Policy Owner was not the insured, the fair
market value of the Policy would be included in the Policy Owner's estate upon
the Policy Owner's death.

   Moreover, under certain circumstances, the Internal Revenue Code may impose
a "generation-skipping transfer tax" when all or part of a life insurance
policy is transferred to, or a death benefit is paid to, an individual two or
more generations younger than the Policy Owner. Regulations issued under the
Internal Revenue Code may require us to deduct the tax from your Policy, or
from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the IRS.

   Qualified tax advisers should be consulted concerning the estate and gift
tax consequences of Policy ownership and distributions under Federal, state and
local law. The individual situation of each Policy Owner or beneficiary will
determine the extent, if any, to which Federal, state, and local transfer and
inheritance taxes may be imposed and how ownership or receipt of Policy
proceeds will be treated for purposes of Federal, state and local estate,
inheritance, generation-skipping and other taxes.

   In general, current rules provide for a $5 million estate, gift and
generation-skipping transfer tax exemption (as indexed for inflation) and a top
tax rate of 40 percent.

   The complexity of the tax law, along with uncertainty as to how it might be
modified in coming years, underscores the importance of seeking guidance from a
qualified adviser to help ensure that your estate plan adequately addresses
your needs and those of your beneficiaries under all possible scenarios.

   CONTINUATION OF POLICY BEYOND ATTAINED AGE 100. The tax consequences of
continuing the Policy beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100 birthday are
unclear. You should consult a tax adviser if you intend to keep the Policy in
force beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100.

   GUIDANCE ON SPLIT DOLLAR PLANS. The IRS has issued guidance on split dollar
insurance plans. A tax adviser should be consulted with respect to this
guidance if your Policy is, or may become, subject to a split dollar insurance
plan. If your Policy is part of an equity split dollar arrangement taxed under
the economic benefit regime, there is a risk that some portion of the Policy
cash value may be taxed prior to any Policy distribution.

   In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act") which was signed
into law on July 30, 2002, prohibits, with exceptions, publicly-traded
companies, including non-U.S. companies that have securities listed on U.S.
exchanges, from extending, directly or indirectly or through a subsidiary, many
types of personal loans to their directors or executive officers. It is
possible that this prohibition may be interpreted to apply to split-dollar life
insurance arrangements for directors and executive officers of such companies,
since such arrangements can arguably be viewed as involving a loan from the
employer for at least some purposes.

   Any affected business contemplating the payment of a premium on an existing
Policy or the purchase of new Policy in connection with a split-dollar life
insurance arrangement should consult legal counsel.

   Split dollar insurance plans that provide deferred compensation may be
subject to recently enacted rules governing deferred compensation arrangements.
Failure to adhere to these rules will result in adverse tax consequences. A tax
adviser should be consulted with respect to such plans.

   CORPORATE ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX. There may also be an indirect tax upon
the income in the Policy or the proceeds of a Policy under the Federal
corporate alternative minimum tax, if the Owner is subject to that tax.

   PUERTO RICO. We believe that Policies subject to Puerto Rican tax law will
generally receive treatment similar, with certain modifications, to that
described above. Among other differences, Policies governed by Puerto Rican tax
law are not currently subject to the rules described above regarding Modified
Endowment Contracts. You should consult your tax adviser with respect to Puerto
Rican tax law governing the Policies.

   POSSIBLE TAX LAW CHANGES. Although the likelihood of legislative changes is
uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the Policy
could change by legislation or otherwise. Consult a tax adviser with respect to
legislative developments and their effect on the Policy.

   FOREIGN TAX CREDITS. To the extent permitted under Federal tax law, we may
claim the benefit of certain foreign tax credits attributable to taxes paid by
certain Eligible Funds to foreign jurisdictions.




   POSSIBLE CHARGE FOR TAXES. At the present time, the Company makes no charge
to the Separate Account for any Federal, state, or local taxes (as opposed to
Premium Tax Charges which are deducted from premium payments) that it incurs
which may be attributable to such Separate Account or to the Policies. The
Company, however, reserves the right in the future to make a charge for any
such tax or other economic burden resulting from the application of the tax
laws that it determines to be properly attributable to the Separate Account or
to the Policies.

                    RESTRICTIONS ON FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS

   Applicable laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering
might, in certain circumstances, require us to reject a premium payment and/or
block or "freeze" your Policy. If these laws apply in a particular situation,
we would not be allowed to process any request for withdrawals, surrenders,
loans or death benefits, make transfers or continue making payments under your
death benefit option until instructions are received from the appropriate
regulator. We also may be required to provide additional information about you
or your Policy to government regulators.

                               LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

   In the ordinary course of business, General American, similar to other life
insurance companies, is involved in lawsuits (including class action lawsuits),
arbitrations and other legal proceedings. Also, from time to time, state and
federal regulators or other officials conduct formal and informal examinations
or undertake other actions dealing with various aspects of the financial
services and insurance industries. In some legal proceedings involving
insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement
payments have been made. It is not possible to predict with certainty the
ultimate outcome of any pending legal proceeding or regulatory action. However,
General American does not believe any such action or proceeding 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 General American to meet its obligations under the Contracts.

                             FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   The financial statements of General American which are included in this
prospectus supplement should be distinguished from the financial statements of
the Separate Account, which are also included in this prospectus supplement,
and should be considered only as bearing on the ability of General American to
meet its obligations under the Policy. They should not be considered as bearing
on the investment performance of the assets held in the Separate Account.

   You may request an account transfer or reallocation of future premiums by
written request (which may be telecopied) to our Administrative Office, by
telephoning us, or over the Internet. To request a transfer or reallocation by
telephone, you should contact your registered representative, or contact us at
(800) 638-9294. To request a transfer or reallocation over the Internet, you
may log on to our website at www.genamerica.com. We use reasonable procedures
to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone, facsimile or Internet
are genuine. Any telephone, facsimile or Internet instructions that we
reasonably believe to be genuine will be your responsibility, including losses
arising from any errors in the communication of instructions. However, because
telephone and Internet transactions may be available to anyone who provides
certain information about you and your Policy, you should protect that

complete reliability under all circumstances. If you are experiencing problems,
you should make your request by writing to our Administrative Office.

   If you send premium payments or transaction requests to an address other
than the one we have designated for receipt of such payments or requests, we
may return the premium payment to you, or there may be a delay in applying the
payment or transaction to your Policy.

THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT

   The separate account consists of divisions, each of which corresponds to an
underlying Fund. Each division may either make money or lose money. Therefore
if you invest in a division of the separate account, you may either make money
or lose money, depending on the investment experience of that division. There
is no guaranteed rate of return in the separate account.

   The following chart shows the Funds that are available under the policy
along with the name of the investment adviser, sub-adviser (where applicable)
and investment objective of each Fund. The Funds have different investment
goals and strategies. You should review the prospectus of each Fund, or seek
professional guidance in determining which Fund(s) best meet your objectives.

                                 POLICY RIGHTS

TRANSFERS

   RESTRICTIONS ON FREQUENT TRANSFERS. Frequent requests from Owners to
transfer cash value 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 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 Owners
and other persons who may have an interest in the Policies (e.g.,
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., the American Funds Global
Small Capitalization Fund, JPMorgan Insurance Trust Small Cap Core Portfolio,
Clarion Global Real Estate Portfolio, Harris Oakmark International Portfolio,
Invesco Small Cap Growth Portfolio, Lord Abbett Bond Debenture Portfolio, MFS
Research International Portfolio, Baillie Gifford International Stock
Portfolio, MSCI EAFE Index Portfolio, Neuberger Berman Genesis Portfolio,
Russell 2000 Index Portfolio, T. Rowe Price Small Cap Growth Portfolio, Van Eck
Global Natural Resources Portfolio, Russell Aggressive Equity Fund, Russell
Non-U.S. Fund and Van Eck VIP Emerging Markets Fund--the "Monitored Funds") and
we monitor transfer activity in those Monitored Funds. In addition, as
described below, we treat all American Funds Insurance Series portfolios
("American Funds portfolios") as Monitored Funds. We employ various means to
monitor transfer activity, such as examining the frequency and size of
transfers into and out of the Monitored Funds 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 Funds, 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 cash 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 Funds at
any time without notice in our sole discretion.

   As a condition to making their portfolios available in our products,
American Funds requires us to treat all American Funds portfolios as Monitored
Funds 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 Policy, 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 original signature. Further,
as Monitored Funds, 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 Funds that exceeds our current transfer limits, we
require future transfer requests to or from any Monitored Funds under that
Policy 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 Owners to avoid such detection.
Our ability to restrict such transfer activity also may be limited by
provisions of the Policy. Accordingly, there is no assurance that we will
prevent all transfer activity that may adversely affect Owners and other
persons with interests in the Policies. We do not accommodate frequent
transfers in any Fund and there are no arrangements in place to permit any
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 Owners, and to
execute instructions from the Fund to restrict or prohibit further purchases or
transfers by specific Owners who violate the frequent transfer policies
established by the Fund.

   In addition, Owners and other persons with interests in the Policies 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 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 Owners) 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
Owners 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 Owner). You should
read the Fund prospectuses for more details.

   RESTRICTIONS ON LARGE TRANSFERS. Large transfers may increase brokerage and
administrative costs of the underlying Funds and may disrupt fund 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 fund manager of a
particular underlying Fund has brought large transfer activity to our attention
for investigation on a case-by-case basis. For example, some fund managers have
asked us to monitor for "block transfers" where transfer requests have been
submitted on behalf of multiple 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.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT CHARGES

   We will waive the following amount of the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge:
the amount, if any, equal to the underlying fund expenses that are in excess of
0.68% for the Division investing in the Jennison Growth Portfolio, and that are




in excess of 0.88% for the Division investing in the MFS Research International
Portfolio.

                                GENERAL MATTERS

BENEFICIARY

   The following is added to this section:

   Every state has unclaimed property laws which generally declare life
insurance policies to be abandoned after a period of inactivity of three to
five years from the date any death benefit is due and payable. For example, if
the payment of a death benefit has been triggered, and after a thorough search,
we are still unable to locate the beneficiary of the death benefit, the death
benefit will be paid to the abandoned property division or unclaimed property
office of the state in which the beneficiary or the policy owner last resided,
as shown on our books and records. ("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 Policy's death benefit from being paid to
the state's abandoned or unclaimed property office, it is important that you
update your beneficiary designation--including complete names and complete
address--if and as they change. You should contact our Administrative Office in
order to make a change to your beneficiary designation. (See "The Company.")

                              FEDERAL TAX MATTERS

INTRODUCTION

   The following summary provides a general description of the Federal income
tax considerations associated with the Policy and does not purport to be
complete or to cover all situations. The summary does not address state, local
or foreign tax issues related to the Policy. This discussion is not intended as
tax advice. Counsel or other competent tax advisers should be consulted for
more complete information. This discussion is based upon General American's
understanding of the present Federal income tax laws as they are currently
interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service. No representation is made as to
the likelihood of continuation of the present Federal income tax laws or of the
current interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service.

   IRS CIRCULAR 230 NOTICE: The tax information contained herein is not
intended to (and cannot) be used by anyone to avoid IRS penalties. It is
intended to support the sale of the Policy. The Policy Owner should seek tax
advice based on the Policy Owner's particular circumstances from an independent
tax adviser.

TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY

   In order to qualify as a life insurance contract for Federal income tax
purposes and to receive the tax treatment normally accorded life insurance
contracts under Federal tax law, a Policy must satisfy certain requirements
which are set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. Guidance as to how these
requirements are to be applied is limited, in particular, with respect to joint
and last survivor life insurance policies. Nevertheless, we believe that the
Policies should satisfy the applicable requirements. However, the rules are not
entirely clear with respect to Policies issued on a substandard or guaranteed
issue basis. We may take appropriate steps to bring the Policy into compliance
with applicable requirements, and we reserve the right to restrict Policy
transactions in order to do so. The insurance proceeds payable on the death of
the insured will never be less than the minimum amount required for the Policy
to be treated as life insurance under section 7702 of the Internal Revenue
Code, as in effect on the date the Policy was issued.

   In some circumstances, owners of variable contracts who retain excessive
control over the investment of the underlying separate account assets may be
treated as the owners of those assets. Although published guidance in this area
does not address certain aspects of the Policies, we believe that the Owner of
a Policy should not be treated as the owner of the Separate Account assets. We
reserve the right to modify the Policies to bring them into conformity with
applicable standards should such modification be necessary to prevent Owners of
the Policies from being treated as the owners of the underlying Separate
Account assets.

   In addition, the Code requires that the investments of the Separate Account
be "adequately diversified" in order for the Policies to be treated as life
insurance contracts for Federal income tax purposes. It is intended that the
Separate Account, through the Eligible Funds, will satisfy these
diversification requirements. If Eligible Fund shares are sold directly to
either non-qualified plans or to tax-qualified retirement plans that later lose
their tax qualified status, there may be adverse consequences under the
diversification rules.

   The following discussion assumes that the Policy will qualify as a life
insurance contract for Federal income tax purposes.

   TAX TREATMENT OF POLICY BENEFITS. In general, the proceeds and Cash Value




increases of a Policy should be treated in a manner consistent with a
fixed-benefit life insurance policy for Federal income tax purposes. Thus, the
death benefit under the Policy should be excludable from the gross income of
the Beneficiary to the extent provided in under Section 101 of the Code. In the
case of employer-owned life insurance as defined in Section 101(j), the amount
of the death benefit excludable from gross income is limited to premiums paid
unless the Policy falls within certain specified exceptions and a notice and
consent requirement is satisfied before the Policy is issued. Certain specified
exceptions are based on the status of an employee as highly compensated or
recently employed. There are also exceptions for Policy proceeds paid to an
employee's heirs. These exceptions only apply if proper notice is given to the
insured employee and consent is received from the insured employee before the
issuance of the Policy. These rules apply to Policies issued August 18, 2006
and later and also apply to policies issued before August 18, 2006 after a
material increase in the death benefit or other material change. An IRS
reporting requirement applies to employer-owned life insurance subject to these
rules. Because these rules are complex and will affect the tax treatment of
death benefits, it is advisable to consult tax counsel. The death benefit will
also be taxable in the case of a transfer-for-value unless certain exceptions
apply.

   Many changes or transactions involving a Policy may have tax consequences,
depending on the circumstances. Such changes include, but are not limited to,
the exchange of the Policy, a change of the Policy's Face Amount, a Policy
Loan, an additional premium payment, a Policy lapse with an outstanding Policy
Loan, a partial withdrawal, or a surrender of the Policy. The transfer of the
Policy or designation of a Beneficiary may have Federal, state, and/or local
transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of gift,
estate, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. For example, the transfer of
the Policy to, or the designation as a Beneficiary of, or the payment of
proceeds to, a person who is assigned to a generation which is two or more
generations below the generation assignment of the Owner may have generation
skipping transfer tax consequences under Federal tax law. The individual
situation of each Owner or Beneficiary will determine the extent, if any, to
which Federal, state, and local transfer and inheritance taxes may be imposed
and how ownership or receipt of Policy proceeds will be treated for purposes of
Federal, state and local estate, inheritance, generation skipping and other
taxes.

   A Policy may also be used in various arrangements, including non-qualified
deferred compensation or salary continuation plans, split dollar insurance
plans, executive bonus plans, retiree medical benefit plans and others. The tax
consequences of such plans may vary depending on the particular facts and
circumstances of each individual arrangement. Therefore, if you are
contemplating the use of a Policy in any arrangement the value of which depends
in part on its tax consequences, you should be sure to consult a qualified tax
adviser regarding the tax attributes of the particular arrangement.

   Generally, the Owner will not be deemed to be in constructive receipt of the
Policy's Cash Value, including increments thereof, under the Policy until there
is a distribution. Under a complete surrender or lapse of any Policy, if the
amount received plus the amount of outstanding Indebtedness exceeds the total
investments in the Policy, the excess will generally be treated as ordinary
income subject to tax. The tax consequences of other distributions from, and
Policy Loans taken from or secured by, a Policy depend upon whether the Policy
is classified as a "modified endowment contract".

   MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS. A policy may be treated as a modified
endowment contract depending upon the amount of premiums paid in relation to
the death benefit provided under such Policy. The premium limitation rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are extremely
complex. In general, however, a Policy will be a modified endowment contract if
the accumulated premiums paid at any time during the first seven Policy Years
exceed the sum of the net level premiums which would have been paid on or
before such time if the Policy provided for paid-up future benefits after the
payment of seven level annual premiums.

   In addition, if a Policy is "materially changed" it may cause such Policy to
be treated as a modified endowment contract. The material change rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are also
extremely complex. In general, however, the determination of whether a Policy
will be a modified endowment contract after a material change generally depends
upon the relationship among the death benefit at the time of such change, the
Cash Value at the time of the change and the additional premiums paid in the
seven Policy Years starting with the date on which the material change occurs.

   Moreover, a life insurance contract received in exchange for a life
insurance contract classified as a modified endowment contract will also be
treated as a modified endowment contract. A reduction in a Policy's benefits
may also cause such Policy to become a modified endowment contract.

   Accordingly, a prospective Owner should contact a competent tax adviser
before purchasing a Policy to determine the circumstances under which the
Policy would be a modified endowment contract. In addition, an Owner should
contact a competent tax adviser before paying any additional premiums or making
any other change to, including an exchange of, a Policy to determine whether




such premium or change would cause the Policy (or the new Policy in the case of
an exchange) to be treated as a modified endowment contract.

NOTE: MOST DESTINY POLICIES WERE MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTACTS FROM THE DATE OF
ISSUE, THEREFORE, DISTRIBUTIONS FROM MOST DESTINY POLICIES ARE TAXED AS FOLLOWS:

   DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT
CONTRACT. Policies classified as modified endowment contracts will be subject
to the following tax rules: First, all distributions, including distributions
upon surrender, from such a Policy are treated as ordinary income subject to
tax up to the amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Cash Value immediately
before the distribution over the investment in the Policy (described below) at
such time. Second, Policy Loans taken from, or secured by, such a Policy, as
well as due but unpaid interest thereon, are treated as distributions from such
a Policy and taxed accordingly. Third, a 10 percent additional income tax is
imposed on the portion of any distribution from, or Policy Loan taken from or
secured by, such a Policy that is included in income, except where the
distribution or Policy Loan (a) is made on or after the Owner attains age
59 1/2, (b) is attributable to the Owner's becoming disabled, or (c) is part of
a series of substantially equal periodic payments for the life (or life
expectancy) of the Owner or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the
Owner and the Owner's Beneficiary. The foregoing exceptions to the 10 percent
additional income tax will generally not apply to a corporate Policy Owner.

   DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES NOT CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT
CONTRACT. Distributions from Policies not classified as a modified endowment
contracts are generally treated as first recovering the investment in the
Policy (described below) and then, only after the return of all such investment
in the Policy, as distributing taxable income. An exception to this general
rule occurs in the case of a decrease in the Policy's death benefit (possibly
including a partial withdrawal) or any other change that reduces benefits under
the Policy in the first 15 years after the Policy is issued and that results in
cash distribution to the Owner in order for the Policy to continue complying
with the Section 7702 definitional limits. Such a cash distribution will be
taxed in whole or in part as ordinary income (to the extent of any gain in the
Policy) under rules prescribed in Section 7702.

   Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment
contract should generally not be treated as distributions. Instead, such loans
should generally be treated as indebtedness of the Owner. However, because the
tax consequences associated with Policy Loans are not always clear, in
particular, with respect to Policy Loans outstanding after the tenth Policy
year, you should consult a tax adviser prior to taking any Policy Loan.

   Upon a complete surrender or lapse of a Policy that is not a modified
endowment contract, if the amount received plus the amount of indebtedness
exceeds the total investment in the Policy, the excess will generally be
treated as ordinary income subject to tax.

   Neither distributions (including distributions upon surrender or lapse) nor
Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment
contract are subject to the 10 percent additional income tax.

   If a Policy which is not a modified endowment contract subsequently becomes
a modified endowment contract, then any distribution made from the Policy
within two years prior to the date of such change in status may become taxable.

   POLICY LOANS. Generally, interest paid on any loan under a life insurance
Policy is not deductible. AN OWNER SHOULD CONSULT A COMPETENT TAX ADVISER IF
THE DEDUCTIBILITY OF LOAN INTEREST IS A CONSIDERATION IN THE PURCHASE OF A
POLICY. If a Policy Loan is outstanding when a Policy is canceled or lapses,
the amount of the outstanding Indebtedness will be added to the amount
distributed and will be taxed accordingly.

   INVESTMENT IN THE POLICY. Investment in the Policy means (i) the aggregate
amount of any premiums or other consideration paid for a Policy, minus (ii) the
aggregate amount received under the Policy which is excluded from gross income
of the Owner (except that the amount of any Policy Loan from, or secured by, a
Policy that is a modified endowment contract, to the extent such amount is
excluded from gross income, will be disregarded), plus (iii) the amount of any
Policy Loan from, or secured by, a Policy that is a modified endowment contract
to the extent that such amount is included in the gross income of the Owner.

   MULTIPLE POLICES. All modified endowment contracts that are issued by the
Company (or its affiliates) to the same Owner during any calendar year are
treated as one modified endowment contract for purposes of determining the
amount includible in gross income under Section 72(e) of the Code.

   LIFE INSURANCE PURCHASES BY NONRESIDENT ALIENS AND FOREIGN
CORPORATIONS. Policy Owners that are not U.S. citizens or residents will
generally be subject to U.S. Federal withholding tax on taxable distributions
from life insurance policies at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies.
In addition, Policy Owners may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and
taxes that may be imposed by the Policy Owner's country of citizenship or
residence.




   WITHHOLDING. To the extent that Policy distributions are taxable, they are
generally subject to withholding for the recipient's Federal income tax
liability. Recipients can generally elect, however, not to have tax withheld
from distributions.

   ESTATE, GIFT AND GENERATION-SKIPPING TRANSFER TAXES. The transfer of the
Policy or the designation of a beneficiary may have Federal, state, and/or
local transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of
gift, estate, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. When the insured dies,
the death proceeds will generally be includable in the Policy Owner's estate
for purposes of the Federal estate tax if the Policy Owner was the insured,
retained incidents of ownership at death, or made a gift transfer of the Policy
within 3 years of death. If the Policy Owner was not the insured, the fair
market value of the Policy would be included in the Policy Owner's estate upon
the Policy Owner's death.

   Moreover, under certain circumstances, the Internal Revenue Code may impose
a "generation-skipping transfer tax" when all or part of a life insurance
policy is transferred to, or a death benefit is paid to, an individual two or
more generations younger than the Policy Owner. Regulations issued under the
Internal Revenue Code may require us to deduct the tax from your Policy, or
from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the IRS.

   Qualified tax advisers should be consulted concerning the estate and gift
tax consequences of Policy ownership and distributions under Federal, state and
local law. The individual situation of each Policy Owner or beneficiary will
determine the extent, if any, to which Federal, state, and local transfer and
inheritance taxes may be imposed and how ownership or receipt of Policy
proceeds will be treated for purposes of Federal, state and local estate,
inheritance, generation-skipping and other taxes.

   In general, current rules provide for a $5 million estate, gift and
generation-skipping transfer tax exemption (as indexed for inflation) and a top
tax rate of 40 percent.

   The complexity of the tax law, along with uncertainty as to how it might be
modified in coming years, underscores the importance of seeking guidance from a
qualified adviser to help ensure that your estate plan adequately addresses
your needs and those of your beneficiaries under all possible scenarios.
   CONTINUATION OF POLICY BEYOND ATTAINED AGE 100. The tax consequences of
continuing the Policy beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100 birthday are
unclear. You should consult a tax adviser if you intend to keep the Policy in
force beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100.

   GUIDANCE ON SPLIT DOLLAR PLANS. The IRS has issued guidance on split dollar
insurance plans. A tax adviser should be consulted with respect to this
guidance if your Policy is, or may become, subject to a split dollar insurance
plan. If your Policy is part of an equity split dollar arrangement taxed under
the economic benefit regime, there is a risk that some portion of the Policy
cash value may be taxed prior to any Policy distribution.

   In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act") which was signed
into law on July 30, 2002, prohibits, with exceptions, publicly-traded
companies, including non-U.S. companies that have securities listed on U.S.
exchanges, from extending, directly or indirectly or through a subsidiary, many
types of personal loans to their directors or executive officers. It is
possible that this prohibition may be interpreted to apply to split-dollar life
insurance arrangements for directors and executive officers of such companies,
since such arrangements can arguably be viewed as involving a loan from the
employer for at least some purposes.

   Any affected business contemplating the payment of a premium on an existing
Policy or the purchase of new Policy in connection with a split-dollar life
insurance arrangement should consult legal counsel.

   Split dollar insurance plans that provide deferred compensation may be
subject to recently enacted rules governing deferred compensation arrangements.
Failure to adhere to these rules will result in adverse tax consequences. A tax
adviser should be consulted with respect to such plans.

   ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX. There may also be an indirect tax upon the income
in the Policy or the proceeds of a Policy under the Federal corporate
alternative minimum tax, if the Owner is subject to that tax.

   PUERTO RICO. We believe that Policies subject to Puerto Rican tax law will
generally receive treatment similar, with certain modifications, to that
described above. Among other differences, Policies governed by Puerto Rican tax
law are not currently subject to the rules described above regarding Modified
Endowment Contracts. You should consult your tax adviser with respect to Puerto
Rican tax law governing the Policies.

   POSSIBLE TAX LAW CHANGES. Although the likelihood of legislative changes is
uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the Policy
could change by legislation or otherwise. Consult a tax adviser with respect to
legislative developments and their effect on the Policy.




   FOREIGN TAX CREDITS. To the extent permitted under Federal tax law, we may
claim the benefit of certain foreign tax credits attributable to taxes paid by
certain Eligible Funds to foreign jurisdictions.

   POSSIBLE CHARGE FOR TAXES. At the present time, the Company makes no charge
to the Separate Account for any Federal, state, or local taxes (as opposed to
Premium Tax Charges which are deducted from premium payments) that it incurs
which may be attributable to such Separate Account or to the Policies. The
Company, however, reserves the right in the future to make a charge for any
such tax or other economic burden resulting from the application of the tax
laws that it determines to be properly attributable to the Separate Account or
to the Policies.

block or "freeze" your Policy. If these laws apply in a particular situation,
we would not be allowed to process any request for withdrawals, surrenders,
loans or death benefits, make transfers or continue making payments under your
death benefit option until instructions are received from the appropriate
regulator. We also may be required to provide additional information about you
or your Policy to government regulators.

                               LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

   In the ordinary course of business, General American, similar to other life
insurance companies, is involved in lawsuits (including class action lawsuits),
arbitrations and other legal proceedings. Also, from time to time, state and
federal regulators or other officials conduct formal and informal examinations
or undertake other actions dealing with various aspects of the financial
services and insurance industries. In some legal proceedings involving
insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement
payments have been made. It is not possible to predict with certainty the
ultimate outcome of any pending legal proceeding or regulatory action. However,
General American does not believe any such action or proceeding 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 General American to meet its obligations under the
Contracts.

                             FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   The financial statements of General American which are included in this
prospectus supplement should be distinguished from the financial statements of
the Separate Account, which are also included in this prospectus supplement,
and should be considered only as bearing on the ability of General American to
meet its obligations under the Policy. They should not be considered as bearing
on the investment performance of the assets held in the Separate Account.

       Transactions and Inquiries

   You may request an account transfer or reallocation of future premiums by
written request (which may be telecopied) to our Administrative Office, by
telephoning us, or over the Internet. To request a transfer or reallocation by
telephone, you should contact your registered representative, or contact us at
(800) 638-9294. To request a transfer or reallocation over the Internet, you
may log on to our website at www.genamerica.com. We use reasonable procedures
to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone, facsimile or Internet
are genuine. Any telephone, facsimile or Internet instructions that we
reasonably believe to be genuine will be your responsibility, including losses
arising from any errors in the communication of instructions. However, because
telephone and Internet transactions may be available to anyone who provides
certain information about you and your Policy, 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, facsimile, and computer systems (including the Internet) may not
always be available. Any telephone, facsimile, or computer system, whether it
is yours, your service provider's, your registered representative's, or ours,
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 by writing to our Administrative Office.

   If you send premium payments or transaction requests to an address other
than the one we have designated for receipt of such payments or requests, we
may return the premium payment to you, or there may be a delay in applying the
payment or transaction to your Policy.

THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT

   The separate account consists of divisions, each of which corresponds to an
underlying Fund. Each division may either make money or lose money. Therefore
if you invest in a division of the separate account, you may either make money
or lose money, depending on the investment experience of that division. There
is no guaranteed rate of return in the separate account.

   The following chart shows the Funds that are available under the policy
along with the name of the investment adviser, sub-adviser (where applicable)
and investment objective of each Fund. The Funds have different investment
goals and strategies. You should review the prospectus of each Fund, or seek
professional guidance in determining which Fund(s) best meet your objectives.

   The Net Total Annual Operating Expenses shown in the table reflect
contractual arrangements currently in effect under which the investment
advisers of certain Funds have agreed to waive fees and/or pay expenses of the
Funds until at least April 30, 2013. In the table, "0.00%" in the Contractual
Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement column indicates that there is a
contractual arrangement in effect for that Fund, but the expenses of the Fund
are below the level that would trigger the waiver or reimbursement. The Net
Total Annual Operating Expenses shown do not reflect voluntary waiver or
expense reimbursement arrangements or arrangements that terminate prior to
April 30, 2013. The Funds provided the information on their expenses, and we
have not independently verified the information.

                                 POLICY RIGHTS

TRANSFERS

   The following paragraphs in this section have been revised.

   The Funds may have adopted their own policies and procedures with respect to
market timing transactions in their respective shares, and we reserve the right
to enforce these policies and procedures. For example, the 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 market timing
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 owners, and to execute instructions
from the Fund to restrict or prohibit further purchases or transfers by
specific owners who violate the frequent trading policies established by the
Fund.

   In addition, owners and other persons with interests in the Policies 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 contracts. The omnibus orders
reflect the aggregation and netting of multiple orders from individual owners
of variable insurance contracts and/or individual retirement plan participants.
The omnibus nature of these orders may limit the Funds in their ability to
apply their market timing 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 owners) 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
owners engaged in disruptive trading activity, 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 market timing and disruptive trading activities
(even if an entire omnibus order is rejected due to the market timing or
disruptive trading activity of a single owner). You should read the Fund
prospectuses for more details.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT CHARGES

   We will waive the following amount of the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge:
the amount, if any, equal to the underlying fund expenses that are in excess of
0.68% for the Division investing in the Jennison Growth Portfolio, and that are
in excess of 0.88% for the Division investing in the MFS Research International

TRANSFERS, SURRENDERS, PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS AND POLICY LOANS

   The following is added to this section:

   Although we are not currently limiting transfers from the General Account to
the greater of 25% of the Policy's Cash Surrender Value in the General Account
or the previous Policy Year's Maximum Amount, it is important to note that if
we impose this limit, it could take a number of years to fully transfer a
current balance from the General Account to the Divisions of the Separate
Account. You should keep this in mind when considering whether an allocation of
Cash Value to the General Account is consistent with your risk tolerance and
time horizon.

                              FEDERAL TAX MATTERS

INTRODUCTION

   The following summary provides a general description of the Federal income
tax considerations associated with the Policy and does not purport to be
complete or to cover all situations. The summary does not address state, local
or foreign tax issues related to the Policy. This discussion is not intended as
tax advice. Counsel or other competent tax advisers should be consulted for
more complete information. This discussion is based upon General American's
understanding of the present Federal income tax laws as they are currently
interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service. No representation is made as to
the likelihood of continuation of the present Federal income tax laws or of the
current interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service.

   IRS CIRCULAR 230 NOTICE: The tax information contained herein is not
intended to (and cannot) be used by anyone to avoid IRS penalties. It is
intended to support the sale of the Policy. The Policy Owner should seek tax
advice based on the Policy Owner's particular circumstances from an independent
tax adviser.

TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY

   In order to qualify as a life insurance contract for Federal income tax
purposes and to receive the tax treatment normally accorded life insurance
contracts under Federal tax law, a Policy must satisfy certain requirements
which are set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. Guidance as to how these
requirements are to be applied is limited, in particular, with respect to joint
and last survivor life insurance policies. Nevertheless, we believe that the
Policies should satisfy the applicable requirements. However, the rules are not
entirely clear with respect to Policies issued on a substandard or guaranteed
issue basis. We may take appropriate steps to bring the Policy into compliance
with applicable requirements, and we reserve the right to restrict Policy
transactions in order to do so. The insurance proceeds payable on the death of
the insured will never be less than the minimum amount required for the Policy
to be treated as life insurance under section 7702 of the Internal Revenue
Code, as in effect on the date the Policy was issued.

   In some circumstances, owners of variable contracts who retain excessive
control over the investment of the underlying separate account assets may be
treated as the owners of those assets. Although published guidance in this area
does not address certain aspects of the Policies, we believe that the Owner of
a Policy should not be treated as the owner of the Separate Account assets. We
reserve the right to modify the Policies to bring them into conformity with
applicable standards should such modification be necessary to prevent Owners of
the Policies from being treated as the owners of the underlying Separate
Account assets.

   In addition, the Code requires that the investments of the Separate Account
be "adequately diversified" in order for the Policies to be treated as life
insurance contracts for Federal income tax purposes. It is intended that the
Separate Account, through the Eligible Funds, will satisfy these
diversification requirements. If Eligible Fund shares are sold directly to
either non-qualified plans or to tax-qualified retirement plans that later lose
their tax qualified status, there may be adverse consequences under the
diversification rules.

   The following discussion assumes that the Policy will qualify as a life
insurance contract for Federal income tax purposes.

   TAX TREATMENT OF POLICY BENEFITS. In general, the proceeds and Cash Value
increases of a Policy should be treated in a manner consistent with a
fixed-benefit life insurance policy for Federal income tax purposes. Thus, the
death benefit under the Policy should be excludable from the gross income of
the Beneficiary to the extent provided in under Section 101 of the Code. In the
case of employer-owned life insurance as defined in Section 101(j), the amount
of the death benefit excludable from gross income is limited to premiums paid
unless the Policy falls within certain specified exceptions and a notice and
consent requirement is satisfied before the Policy is issued. Certain specified
exceptions are based on the status of an employee as highly compensated or




recently employed. There are also exceptions for Policy proceeds paid to an
employee's heirs. These exceptions only apply if proper notice is given to the
insured employee and consent is received from the insured employee before the
issuance of the Policy. These rules apply to Policies issued August 18, 2006
and later and also apply to policies issued before August 18, 2006 after a
material increase in the death benefit or other material change. An IRS
reporting requirement applies to employer-owned life insurance subject to these
rules. Because these rules are complex and will affect the tax treatment of
death benefits, it is advisable to consult tax counsel. The death benefit will
also be taxable in the case of a transfer-for-value unless certain exceptions
apply.

   Many changes or transactions involving a Policy may have tax consequences,
depending on the circumstances. Such changes include, but are not limited to,
the exchange of the Policy, a change of the Policy's Face Amount, a Policy
Loan, an additional premium payment, a Policy lapse with an outstanding Policy
Loan, a partial withdrawal, or a surrender of the Policy. The transfer of the
Policy or designation of a Beneficiary may have Federal, state, and/or local
transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of gift,
estate, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. For example, the transfer of
the Policy to, or the designation as a Beneficiary of, or the payment of
proceeds to, a person who is assigned to a generation which is two or more
generations below the generation assignment of the Owner may have generation
skipping transfer tax consequences under Federal tax law. The individual
situation of each Owner or Beneficiary will determine the extent, if any, to
which Federal, state, and local transfer and inheritance taxes may be imposed
and how ownership or receipt of Policy proceeds will be treated for purposes of
Federal, state and local estate, inheritance, generation skipping and other
taxes.

   A Policy may also be used in various arrangements, including non-qualified
deferred compensation or salary continuation plans, split dollar insurance
plans, executive bonus plans, retiree medical benefit plans and others. The tax
consequences of such plans may vary depending on the particular facts and
circumstances of each individual arrangement. Therefore, if you are
contemplating the use of a Policy in any arrangement the value of which depends
in part on its tax consequences, you should be sure to consult a qualified tax
adviser regarding the tax attributes of the particular arrangement.

   Generally, the Owner will not be deemed to be in constructive receipt of the
Policy's Cash Value, including increments thereof, under the Policy until there
is a distribution. Under a complete surrender or lapse of any Policy, if the
amount received plus the amount of outstanding Indebtedness exceeds the total
investments in the Policy, the excess will generally be treated as ordinary
income subject to tax. The tax consequences of other distributions from, and
Policy Loans taken from or secured by, a Policy depend upon whether the Policy
is classified as a "modified endowment contract".

   MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS. A policy may be treated as a modified
endowment contract depending upon the amount of premiums paid in relation to
the death benefit provided under such Policy. The premium limitation rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are extremely
complex. In general, however, a Policy will be a modified endowment contract if
the accumulated premiums paid at any time during the first seven Policy Years
exceed the sum of the net level premiums which would have been paid on or
before such time if the Policy provided for paid-up future benefits after the
payment of seven level annual premiums.

   In addition, if a Policy is "materially changed" it may cause such Policy to
be treated as a modified endowment contract. The material change rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are also
extremely complex. In general, however, the determination of whether a Policy
will be a modified endowment contract after a material change generally depends
upon the relationship among the death benefit at the time of such change, the
Cash Value at the time of the change and the additional premiums paid in the
seven Policy Years starting with the date on which the material change occurs.

   Moreover, a life insurance contract received in exchange for a life
insurance contract classified as a modified endowment contract will also be
treated as a modified endowment contract. A reduction in a Policy's benefits
may also cause such Policy to become a modified endowment contract.

   Accordingly, a prospective Owner should contact a competent tax adviser
before purchasing a Policy to determine the circumstances under which the
Policy would be a modified endowment contract. In addition, an Owner should
contact a competent tax adviser before paying any additional premiums or making
any other change to, including an exchange of, a Policy to determine whether
such premium or change would cause the Policy (or the new Policy in the case of
an exchange) to be treated as a modified endowment contract.

NOTE: MOST DESTINY POLICIES WERE MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTACTS FROM THE DATE OF
ISSUE, THEREFORE, DISTRIBUTIONS FROM MOST DESTINY POLICIES ARE TAXED AS FOLLOWS:

   DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT




CONTRACT. Policies classified as modified endowment contracts will be subject
to the following tax rules: First, all distributions, including distributions
upon surrender, from such a Policy are treated as ordinary income subject to
tax up to the amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Cash Value immediately
before the distribution over the investment in the Policy (described below) at
such time. Second, Policy Loans taken from, or secured by, such a Policy, as
well as due but unpaid interest thereon, are treated as distributions from such
a Policy and taxed accordingly. Third, a 10 percent additional income tax is
imposed on the portion of any distribution from, or Policy Loan taken from or
secured by, such a Policy that is included in income, except where the
distribution or Policy Loan (a) is made on or after the Owner attains age 59
1/2, (b) is attributable to the Owner's becoming disabled, or (c) is part of a
series of substantially equal periodic payments for the life (or life
expectancy) of the Owner or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the
Owner and the Owner's Beneficiary. The foregoing exceptions to the 10 percent
additional income tax will generally not apply to a corporate Policy Owner.

   DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES NOT CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT.
Distributions from Policies not classified as a modified endowment contracts
are generally treated as first recovering the investment in the Policy
(described below) and then, only after the return of all such investment in the
Policy, as distributing taxable income. An exception to this general rule
occurs in the case of a decrease in the Policy's death benefit (possibly
including a partial withdrawal) or any other change that reduces benefits under
the Policy in the first 15 years after the Policy is issued and that results in
cash distribution to the Owner in order for the Policy to continue complying
with the Section 7702 definitional limits. Such a cash distribution will be
taxed in whole or in part as ordinary income (to the extent of any gain in the
Policy) under rules prescribed in Section 7702.

   Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment
contract should generally not be treated as distributions. Instead, such loans
should generally be treated as indebtedness of the Owner. However, because the
tax consequences associated with Policy Loans are not always clear, in
particular, with respect to Policy Loans outstanding after the tenth Policy
year, you should consult a tax adviser prior to taking any Policy Loan.

   Upon a complete surrender or lapse of a Policy that is not a modified
endowment contract, if the amount received plus the amount of indebtedness
exceeds the total investment in the Policy, the excess will generally be
treated as ordinary income subject to tax.

   Neither distributions (including distributions upon surrender or lapse) nor
Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment
contract are subject to the 10 percent additional income tax.

   If a Policy which is not a modified endowment contract subsequently becomes
a modified endowment contract, then any distribution made from the Policy
within two years prior to the date of such change in status may become taxable.

   POLICY LOANS. Generally, interest paid on any loan under a life insurance
Policy is not deductible. AN OWNER SHOULD CONSULT A COMPETENT TAX ADVISER IF
THE DEDUCTIBILITY OF LOAN INTEREST IS A CONSIDERATION IN THE PURCHASE OF A
POLICY. If a Policy Loan is outstanding when a Policy is canceled or lapses,
the amount of the outstanding Indebtedness will be added to the amount
distributed and will be taxed accordingly.

   INVESTMENT IN THE POLICY. Investment in the Policy means (i) the aggregate
amount of any premiums or other consideration paid for a Policy, minus (ii) the
aggregate amount received under the Policy which is excluded from gross income
of the Owner (except that the amount of any Policy Loan from, or secured by, a
Policy that is a modified endowment contract, to the extent such amount is
excluded from gross income, will be disregarded), plus (iii) the amount of any
Policy Loan from, or secured by, a Policy that is a modified endowment contract
to the extent that such amount is included in the gross income of the Owner.

   MULTIPLE POLICES. All modified endowment contracts that are issued by the
Company (or its affiliates) to the same Owner during any calendar year are
treated as one modified endowment contract for purposes of determining the
amount includible in gross income under Section 72(e) of the Code.

   LIFE INSURANCE PURCHASES BY NONRESIDENT ALIENS AND FOREIGN CORPORATIONS.
Policy Owners that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally be subject
to U.S. Federal withholding tax on taxable distributions from life insurance
policies at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, Policy
Owners may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes that may be
imposed by the Policy Owner's country of citizenship or residence.

   WITHHOLDING. To the extent that Policy distributions are taxable, they are
generally subject to withholding for the recipient's Federal income tax
liability. Recipients can generally elect, however, not to have tax withheld
from distributions.

   ESTATE, GIFT AND GENERATION-SKIPPING TRANSFER TAXES. The transfer of the
Policy or the designation of a beneficiary may have Federal, state, and/or




local transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of
gift, estate, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. When the insured dies,
the death proceeds will generally be includable in the Policy Owner's estate
for purposes of the Federal estate tax if the Policy Owner was the insured,
retained incidents of ownership at death, or made a gift transfer of the Policy
within 3 years of death. If the Policy Owner was not the insured, the fair
market value of the Policy would be included in the Policy Owner's estate upon
the Policy Owner's death.

   Moreover, under certain circumstances, the Internal Revenue Code may impose
a "generation-skipping transfer tax" when all or part of a life insurance
policy is transferred to, or a death benefit is paid to, an individual two or
more generations younger than the Policy Owner. Regulations issued under the
Internal Revenue Code may require us to deduct the tax from your Policy, or
from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the IRS.

   Qualified tax advisers should be consulted concerning the estate and gift
tax consequences of Policy ownership and distributions under Federal, state and
local law. The individual situation of each Policy Owner or beneficiary will
determine the extent, if any, to which Federal, state, and local transfer and
inheritance taxes may be imposed and how ownership or receipt of Policy
proceeds will be treated for purposes of Federal, state and local estate,
inheritance, generation-skipping and other taxes.

   Under previous law, the estate tax applicable exclusion gradually rose to
$3.5 million per person in 2009 and was repealed in 2010 with a modified
carryover basis for heirs. The Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance
Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 (the "2010 Act") has reinstated
the estate and generation-skipping transfer taxes through the end of 2012 with
lower top rates and larger exemptions. The 2010 Act raises the applicable
exclusion amount to $5,000,000. The top tax rate is set at 35%. A special
irrevocable election was provided for estates of decedents who died in 2010.
These estates may generally choose between the reinstated estate tax and the
carryover basis rules which were in effect in 2010.

   It is not known if Congress will make the temporary changes of the 2010 Act
permanent, enact permanent repeal of the estate and the generation-skipping
transfer taxes or otherwise modify the estate tax or generation-skipping
transfer tax rules for years after 2012. Absent Congressional action, the law
governing estate, gift and generation-skipping transfer taxes will revert on
January 1, 2013 to the law that was in place on June 7, 2001.

   The complexity of the tax law, along with uncertainty as to how it might be
modified in coming years, underscores the importance of seeking guidance from a
qualified adviser to help ensure that your estate plan adequately addresses
your needs and those of your beneficiaries under all possible scenarios.

   CONTINUATION OF POLICY BEYOND ATTAINED AGE 100. The tax consequences of
continuing the Policy beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100 birthday are
unclear. You should consult a tax adviser if you intend to keep the Policy in
force beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100.

   GUIDANCE ON SPLIT DOLLAR PLANS. The IRS has issued guidance on split dollar
insurance plans. A tax adviser should be consulted with respect to this
guidance if your Policy is, or may become, subject to a split dollar insurance
plan. If your Policy is part of an equity split dollar arrangement taxed under
the economic benefit regime, there is a risk that some portion of the Policy
cash value may be taxed prior to any Policy distribution.

   In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act") which was signed
into law on July 30, 2002, prohibits, with exceptions, publicly-traded
companies, including non-U.S. companies that have securities listed on U.S.
exchanges, from extending, directly or indirectly or through a subsidiary, many
types of personal loans to their directors or executive officers. It is
possible that this prohibition may be interpreted to apply to split-dollar life
insurance arrangements for directors and executive officers of such companies,
since such arrangements can arguably be viewed as involving a loan from the
employer for at least some purposes.

   Any affected business contemplating the payment of a premium on an existing
Policy or the purchase of new Policy in connection with a split-dollar life
insurance arrangement should consult legal counsel.

   Split dollar insurance plans that provide deferred compensation may be
subject to recently enacted rules governing deferred compensation arrangements.
Failure to adhere to these rules will result in adverse tax consequences. A tax
adviser should be consulted with respect to such plans.

   ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX. There may also be an indirect tax upon the income
in the Policy or the proceeds of a Policy under the Federal corporate
alternative minimum tax, if the Owner is subject to that tax.

   PUERTO RICO. We believe that Policies subject to Puerto Rican tax law will
generally receive treatment similar, with certain modifications, to that
described above. Among other differences, Policies governed by Puerto Rican tax
law are not currently subject to the rules described above regarding Modified




Endowment Contracts. You should consult your tax adviser with respect to Puerto
Rican tax law governing the Policies.

   POSSIBLE TAX LAW CHANGES. Although the likelihood of legislative changes is
uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the Policy
could change by legislation or otherwise. Consult a tax adviser with respect to
legislative developments and their effect on the Policy.

   FOREIGN TAX CREDITS. To the extent permitted under Federal tax law, we may
claim the benefit of certain foreign tax credits attributable to taxes paid by
certain Eligible Funds to foreign jurisdictions.

   POSSIBLE CHARGE FOR TAXES. At the present time, the Company makes no charge
to the Separate Account for any Federal, state, or local taxes (as opposed to
Premium Tax Charges which are deducted from premium payments) that it incurs
which may be attributable to such Separate Account or to the Policies. The
Company, however, reserves the right in the future to make a charge for any
such tax or other economic burden resulting from the application of the tax
laws that it determines to be properly attributable to the Separate Account or
to the Policies.

                    RESTRICTIONS ON FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS

   Applicable laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering
might, in certain circumstances, require us to reject a premium payment and/or
block or "freeze" your Policy. If these laws apply in a particular situation,
we would not be allowed to process any request for withdrawals, surrenders,
loans or death benefits, make transfers or continue making payments under your
death benefit option until instructions are received from the appropriate
regulator. We also may be required to provide additional information about you
or your Policy to government regulators.

                               LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

   In the ordinary course of business, General American, similar to other life
insurance companies, is involved in lawsuits (including class action lawsuits),
arbitrations and other legal proceedings. Also, from time to time, state and
federal regulators or other officials conduct formal and informal examinations
or undertake other actions dealing with various aspects of the financial
services and insurance industries. In some legal proceedings involving
insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement
payments have been made. It is not possible to predict with certainty the
ultimate outcome of any pending legal proceeding or regulatory action. However,
General American does not believe any such action or proceeding 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 General American to meet its obligations under the
Contracts.

                             FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   The financial statements of General American which are included in this
prospectus supplement should be distinguished from the financial statements of
the Separate Account, which are also included in this prospectus supplement,
and should be considered only as bearing on the ability of General American to
meet its obligations under the Policy. They should not be considered as bearing
on the investment performance of the assets held in the Separate Account.

   You may request an account transfer or reallocation of future premiums by
written request (which may be telecopied) to our Administrative Office, by
telephoning us, or over the Internet. To request a transfer or reallocation by
telephone, you should contact your registered representative, or contact us at
(800) 638-9294. To request a transfer or reallocation over the Internet, you
may log on to our website at www.genamerica.com. We use reasonable procedures
to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone, facsimile or Internet
are genuine. Any telephone, facsimile or Internet instructions that we
reasonably believe to be genuine will be your responsibility, including losses
arising from any errors in the communication of instructions. However, because
telephone and Internet transactions may be available to anyone who provides
certain information about you and your Policy, 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, facsimile, and computer systems (including the Internet) may not
always be available. Any telephone, facsimile, or computer system, whether it
is yours, your service provider's, your registered representative's, or ours,
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 by writing to our Administrative Office.

   If you send premium payments or transaction requests to an address other
than the one we have designated for receipt of such payments or requests, we
may return the premium payment to you, or there may be a delay in applying the
payment or transaction to your Policy.

   THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT. The separate account consists of divisions, each of
which corresponds to an underlying Fund. Each division may either make money or
lose money. Therefore if you invest in a division of the separate account, you
may either make money or lose money, depending on the investment experience of
that division. There is no guaranteed rate of return in the separate account.

   The following chart shows the Funds that are available under the policy
along with the name of the investment adviser, sub-adviser (where applicable)
and investment objective of each Fund. The Funds have different investment
goals and strategies. You should review the prospectus of each Fund, or seek
professional guidance in determining which Fund(s) best meet your objectives.

                                 POLICY RIGHTS

TRANSFERS

   The following paragraph is revised.

   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., the Artio International
Stock Portfolio, Morgan Stanley EAFE(R) Index Portfolio, Neuberger Berman
Genesis Portfolio, Russell 2000(R) Index Portfolio, T. Rowe Price Small Cap
Growth Portfolio, Harris Oakmark International Portfolio, Lord Abbett Bond




Debenture Portfolio, Invesco Small Cap Growth Portfolio, MFS(R) Research
International Portfolio, Clarion Global Real Estate Portfolio, American Funds
Global Small Capitalization Fund, JPMorgan Insurance Trust Small Cap Core
Portfolio, Russell Aggressive Equity Fund, Russell Non-U.S. Fund, Van Eck VIP
Emerging Markets Fund and Van Eck Global Natural Resources Portfolio) and we
monitor transfer activity in those Funds (the "Monitored Portfolios"). In
addition, as described below, we intend to 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
Monitored 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 Cash Value; and (3) two or
more "round-trips" involving any Monitored Portfolio 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.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT CHARGES

   We will waive the following amount of the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge:
the amount, if any, equal to the underlying fund expenses that are in excess of
0.68% for the Division investing in the Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation
Portfolio, and that are in excess of 0.88% for the Division investing in the
MFS Research International Portfolio.

                              FEDERAL TAX MATTERS

INTRODUCTION

   The following summary provides a general description of the Federal income
tax considerations associated with the Policy and does not purport to be
complete or to cover all situations. This discussion is not intended as tax
advice. Counsel or other competent tax advisers should be consulted for more
complete information. This discussion is based upon General American's
understanding of the present Federal income tax laws as they are currently
interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service. No representation is made as to
the likelihood of continuation of the present Federal income tax laws or of the
current interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service.

   IRS CIRCULAR 230 NOTICE: The tax information contained herein is not
intended to (and cannot) be used by anyone to avoid IRS penalties. It is
intended to support the sale of the Policy. The Policy Owner should seek tax
advice based on the Policy Owner's particular circumstances from an independent
tax adviser.

TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY

   In order to qualify as a life insurance contract for Federal income tax
purposes and to receive the tax treatment normally accorded life insurance
contracts under Federal tax law, a Policy must satisfy certain requirements
which are set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. Guidance as to how these
requirements are to be applied is limited, in particular, with respect to joint
and last survivor life insurance policies. Nevertheless, we believe that the
Policies should satisfy the applicable requirements. However, the rules are not
entirely clear with respect to Policies issued on a substandard or guaranteed
issue basis. We may take appropriate steps to bring the Policy into compliance
with applicable requirements, and we reserve the right to restrict Policy
transactions in order to do so. The insurance proceeds payable on the death of
the insured will never be less than the minimum amount required for the Policy
to be treated as life insurance under section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code,
as in effect on the date the Policy was issued.

   In some circumstances, owners of variable contracts who retain excessive
control over the investment of the underlying separate account assets may be
treated as the owners of those assets. Although published guidance in this area
does not address certain aspects of the Policies, we believe that the Owner of
a Policy should not be treated as the owner of the Separate Account assets. We
reserve the right to modify the Policies to bring them into conformity with
applicable standards should such modification be necessary to prevent Owners of
the Policies from being treated as the owners of the underlying Separate
Account assets.

   In addition, the Code requires that the investments of the Separate Account
be "adequately diversified" in order for the Policies to be treated as life
insurance contracts for Federal income tax purposes. It is intended that the
Separate Account, through the Eligible Funds, will satisfy these
diversification requirements. If Eligible Fund shares are sold directly to
either non-qualified plans or to tax-qualified retirement plans that later lose
their tax qualified status, there may be adverse consequences under the
diversification rules.

   The following discussion assumes that the Policy will qualify as a life
insurance contract for Federal income tax purposes.




   1. TAX TREATMENT OF POLICY BENEFITS. In general, the Company believes that
the proceeds and Cash Value increases of a Policy should be treated in a manner
consistent with a fixed-benefit life insurance policy for Federal income tax
purposes. Thus, the death benefit under the Policy should be excludable from
the gross income of the Beneficiary to the extent provided in under Section 101
of the Code. In the case of employer-owned life insurance as defined in
Section 101(j), the amount of the death benefit excludable from gross income is
limited to premiums paid unless the Policy falls within certain specified
exceptions and a notice and consent requirement is satisfied before the Policy
is issued. Certain specified exceptions are based on the status of an employee
as highly compensated or recently employed. There are also exceptions for
Policy proceeds paid to an employee's heirs. These exceptions only apply if
proper notice is given to the insured employee and consent is received from the
insured employee before the issuance of the Policy. These rules apply to
Policies issued August 18, 2006 and later and also apply to policies issued
before August 18, 2006 after a material increase in the death benefit or other
material change. An IRS reporting requirement applies to employer-owned life
insurance subject to these rules. Because these rules are complex and will
affect the tax treatment of death benefits, it is advisable to consult tax
counsel. The death benefit will also be taxable in the case of a
transfer-for-value unless certain exceptions apply.

   Many changes or transactions involving a Policy may have tax consequences,
depending on the circumstances. Such changes include, but are not limited to,
the exchange of the Policy, a change of the Policy's Face Amount, a Policy
Loan, an additional premium payment, a Policy lapse with an outstanding Policy
Loan, a partial withdrawal, or a surrender of the Policy. The transfer of the
Policy or designation of a Beneficiary may have Federal, state, and/or local
transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of gift,
estate, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. For example, the transfer of
the Policy to, or the designation as a Beneficiary of, or the payment of
proceeds to, a person who is assigned to a generation which is two or more
generations below the generation assignment of the Owner may have generation
skipping transfer tax consequences under Federal tax law. The individual
situation of each Owner or Beneficiary will determine the extent, if any, to
which Federal, state, and local transfer and inheritance taxes may be imposed
and how ownership or receipt of Policy proceeds will be treated for purposes of
Federal, state and local estate, inheritance, generation skipping and other
taxes.

   A Policy may also be used in various arrangements, including non-qualified
deferred compensation or salary continuation plans, split dollar insurance
plans, executive bonus plans, retiree medical benefit plans and others. The tax
consequences of such plans may vary depending on the particular facts and
circumstances of each individual arrangement. Therefore, if you are
contemplating the use of a Policy in any arrangement the value of which depends
in part on its tax consequences, you should be sure to consult a qualified tax
adviser regarding the tax attributes of the particular arrangement.

   Generally, the Owner will not be deemed to be in constructive receipt of the
Policy's Cash Value, including increments thereof, under the Policy until there
is a distribution. Under a complete surrender or lapse of any Policy, if the
amount received plus the amount of outstanding Indebtedness exceeds the total
investments in the Policy, the excess will generally be treated as ordinary
income subject to tax. The tax consequences of other distributions from, and
Policy Loans taken from or secured by, a Policy depend upon whether the Policy
is classified as a "modified endowment contract".

   2. MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS. A policy may be treated as a modified
endowment contract depending upon the amount of premiums paid in relation to
the death benefit provided under such Policy. The premium limitation rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are extremely
complex. In general, however, a Policy will be a modified endowment contract if
the accumulated premiums paid at any time during the first seven Policy Years
exceed the sum of the net level premiums which would have been paid on or
before such time if the Policy provided for paid-up future benefits after the
payment of seven level annual premiums.

   In addition, if a Policy is "materially changed" it may cause such Policy to
be treated as a modified endowment contract. The material change rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are also
extremely complex. In general, however, the determination of whether a Policy
will be a modified endowment contract after a material change generally depends
upon the relationship among the death benefit at the time of such change, the
Cash Value at the time of the change and the additional premiums paid in the
seven Policy Years starting with the date on which the material change occurs.

   Moreover, a life insurance contract received in exchange for a life
insurance contract classified as a modified endowment contract will also be
treated as a modified endowment contract. A reduction in a Policy's benefits
may also cause such Policy to become a modified endowment contract.

   Accordingly, a prospective Owner should contact a competent tax adviser
before purchasing a Policy to determine the circumstances under which the
Policy would be a modified endowment contract. In addition, an Owner should
contact a




competent tax adviser before paying any additional premiums or making any other
change to, including an exchange of, a Policy to determine whether such premium
or change would cause the Policy (or the new Policy in the case of an exchange)
to be treated as a modified endowment contract.

NOTE: MOST DESTINY POLICIES WERE MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTACTS FROM THE DATE OF
ISSUE, THEREFORE, DISTRIBUTIONS FROM MOST DESTINY POLICIES ARE TAXED AS FOLLOWS:

   3. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT.
Policies classified as modified endowment contracts will be subject to the
following tax rules: First, all distributions, including distributions upon
surrender, from such a Policy are treated as ordinary income subject to tax up
to the amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Cash Value immediately before
the distribution over the investment in the Policy (described below) at such
time. Second, Policy Loans taken from, or secured by, such a Policy, as well as
due but unpaid interest thereon, are treated as distributions from such a
Policy and taxed accordingly. Third, a 10 percent additional income tax is
imposed on the portion of any distribution from, or Policy Loan taken from or
secured by, such a Policy that is included in income, except where the
distribution or Policy Loan (a) is made on or after the Owner attains age 59
1/2, (b) is attributable to the Owner's becoming disabled, or (c) is part of a
series of substantially equal periodic payments for the life (or life
expectancy) of the Owner or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the
Owner and the Owner's Beneficiary. The foregoing exceptions to the 10 percent
additional income tax will generally not apply to a corporate Policy Owner.

   4. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES NOT CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT
CONTRACT. Distributions from Policies not classified as a modified endowment
contracts are generally treated as first recovering the investment in the
Policy (described below) and then, only after the return of all such investment
in the Policy, as distributing taxable income. An exception to this general
rule occurs in the case of a decrease in the Policy's death benefit (possibly
including a partial withdrawal) or any other change that reduces benefits under
the Policy in the first 15 years after the Policy is issued and that results in
cash distribution to the Owner in order for the Policy to continue complying
with the Section 7702 definitional limits. Such a cash distribution will be
taxed in whole or in part as ordinary income (to the extent of any gain in the
Policy) under rules prescribed in Section 7702.

   Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment
contract should generally not be treated as distributions. Instead, such loans
should generally be treated as indebtedness of the Owner. However, because the
tax consequences associated with Policy Loans are not always clear, in
particular, with respect to Policy Loans outstanding after the tenth Policy
year, you should consult a tax adviser prior to taking any Policy Loan.

   Upon a complete surrender or lapse of a Policy that is not a modified
endowment contract, if the amount received plus the amount of indebtedness
exceeds the total investment in the Policy, the excess will generally be
treated as ordinary income subject to tax.

   Neither distributions (including distributions upon surrender or lapse) nor
Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment
contract are subject to the 10 percent additional income tax.

   If a Policy which is not a modified endowment contract subsequently becomes
a modified endowment contract, then any distribution made from the Policy
within two years prior to the date of such change in status may become taxable.

   5. POLICY LOANS. Generally, interest paid on any loan under a life insurance
Policy is not deductible. AN OWNER SHOULD CONSULT A COMPETENT TAX ADVISER IF
THE DEDUCTIBILITY OF LOAN INTEREST IS A CONSIDERATION IN THE PURCHASE OF A
POLICY. If a Policy Loan is outstanding when a Policy is canceled or lapses,
the amount of the outstanding Indebtedness will be added to the amount
distributed and will be taxed accordingly.

   6. INTEREST EXPENSE ON UNRELATED INDEBTEDNESS. Under provisions added to the
Code in 1997 for policies issued after June 8, 1997, if a business taxpayer
owns or is the beneficiary of a Policy on the life of any individual who is not
an officer, director, employee, or 20 percent owner of the business, and the
taxpayer also has debt unrelated to the Policy, a portion of the taxpayer's
unrelated interest expense deductions may be lost. No business taxpayer should
purchase, exchange, or increase the death benefit under a Policy on the life of
any individual who is not an officer, director, employee, or 20 percent owner
of the business without first consulting a competent tax adviser.

   7. INVESTMENT IN THE POLICY. Investment in the Policy means (i) the
aggregate amount of any premiums or other consideration paid for a Policy,
minus (ii) the aggregate amount received under the Policy which is excluded
from gross income of the Owner (except that the amount of any Policy Loan from,
or secured by, a Policy that is a modified endowment contract, to the extent
such amount is excluded from gross income, will be disregarded), plus (iii) the
amount of any Policy Loan from, or secured by, a Policy that is a modified
endowment contract to the extent that such amount is included in the gross
income of the Owner.

   8. MULTIPLE POLICES. All modified endowment contracts that are issued by




the Company (or its affiliates) to the same Owner during any calendar year are
treated as one modified endowment contract for purposes of determining the
amount includible in gross income under Section 72(e) of the Code.

   9. LIFE INSURANCE PURCHASES BY NONRESIDENT ALIENS AND FOREIGN CORPORATIONS.
Policy Owners that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally be subject
to U.S. Federal withholding tax on taxable distributions from life insurance
policies at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, Policy
Owners may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes that may be
imposed by the Policy Owner's country of citizenship or residence.

   10. WITHHOLDING. To the extent that Policy distributions are taxable, they
are generally subject to withholding for the recipient's Federal income tax
liability. Recipients can generally elect, however, not to have tax withheld
from distributions.

   11. ESTATE, GIFT AND GENERATION-SKIPPING TRANSFER TAXES. The transfer of the
Policy or the designation of a beneficiary may have Federal, state, and/or
local transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of
gift, estate, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. When the insured dies,
the death proceeds will generally be includable in the Policy Owner's estate
for purposes of the Federal estate tax if the Policy Owner was the insured. If
the Policy Owner was not the insured, the fair market value of the Policy would
be included in the Policy Owner's estate upon the Policy Owner's death. The
Policy would not be includable in the insured's estate if the insured neither
retained incidents of ownership at death nor had given up ownership within
three years before death.

   Moreover, under certain circumstances, the Internal Revenue Code may impose
a "generation-skipping transfer tax" when all or part of a life insurance
policy is transferred to, or a death benefit is paid to, an individual two or
more generations younger than the Policy Owner. Regulations issued under the
Internal Revenue Code may require us to deduct the tax from your Policy, or
from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the IRS.

   Qualified tax advisers should be consulted concerning the estate and gift
tax consequences of Policy ownership and distributions under Federal, state and
local law. The individual situation of each Policy Owner or beneficiary will
determine the extent, if any, to which Federal, state, and local transfer and
inheritance taxes may be imposed and how ownership or receipt of Policy
proceeds will be treated for purposes of Federal, state and local estate,
inheritance, generation-skipping and other taxes.

   Under previous law, the estate tax applicable exclusion gradually rose to
$3.5 million per person in 2009 and was repealed in 2010 with a modified
carryover basis for heirs. The Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance
Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 (the "2010 Act") has reinstated
the estate and generation-skipping transfer taxes through the end of 2012 with
lower top rates and larger exemptions. The 2010 Act raises the applicable
exclusion amount to $5,000,000. The top tax rate is set at 35%. A special
irrevocable election was provided for estates of decedents who died in 2010.
These estates may generally choose between the reinstated estate tax and the
carryover basis rules which were in effect in 2010.

   It is not known if Congress will make the temporary changes of the 2010 Act
permanent, enact permanent repeal of the estate and the generation-skipping
transfer taxes or otherwise modify the estate tax or generation-skipping
transfer tax rules for years after 2012.

   The complexity of the tax law, along with uncertainty as to how it might be
modified in coming years, underscores the importance of seeking guidance from a
qualified adviser to help ensure that your estate plan adequately addresses
your needs and those of your beneficiaries under all possible scenarios.

   12. CONTINUATION OF POLICY BEYOND ATTAINED AGE 100. The tax consequences of
continuing the Policy beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100 birthday are
unclear. You should consult a tax adviser if you intend to keep the Policy in
force beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100.

   13. GUIDANCE ON SPLIT DOLLAR PLANS. The IRS has issued guidance on split
dollar insurance plans. A tax adviser should be consulted with respect to this
guidance if your Policy is, or may become, subject to a split dollar insurance
plan. If your Policy is part of an equity split dollar arrangement taxed under
the economic benefit regime, there is a risk that some portion of the Policy
cash value may be taxed prior to any Policy distribution.

   In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act") which was signed
into law on July 30, 2002, prohibits, with exceptions, publicly-traded
companies, including non-U.S. companies that have securities listed on U.S.
exchanges, from extending, directly or indirectly or through a subsidiary, many
types of personal loans to their directors or executive officers. It is
possible that this prohibition may be interpreted to apply to split-dollar life
insurance arrangements for directors and executive officers of such companies,
since such arrangements can arguably be viewed as involving a loan from the
employer for at




least some purposes.
   Any affected business contemplating the payment of a premium on an existing
Policy or the purchase of new Policy in connection with a split-dollar life
insurance arrangement should consult legal counsel.

   Split dollar insurance plans that provide deferred compensation may be
subject to recently enacted rules governing deferred compensation arrangements.
Failure to adhere to these rules will result in adverse tax consequences. A tax
adviser should be consulted with respect to such plans.

   14. ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX. There may also be an indirect tax upon the
income in the Policy or the proceeds of a Policy under the Federal corporate
alternative minimum tax, if the Owner is subject to that tax.

   15. PUERTO RICO. We believe that Policies subject to Puerto Rican tax law
will generally receive treatment similar, with certain modifications, to that
described above. Among other differences, Policies governed by Puerto Rican tax
law are not currently subject to the rules described above regarding Modified
Endowment Contracts. You should consult your tax adviser with respect to Puerto
Rican tax law governing the Policies.

   16. POSSIBLE TAX LAW CHANGES. Although the likelihood of legislative changes
is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the
Policy could change by legislation or otherwise. Consult a tax adviser with
respect to legislative developments and their effect on the Policy.

   17. FOREIGN TAX CREDITS. To the extent permitted under Federal tax law, we
may claim the benefit of certain foreign tax credits attributable to taxes paid
by certain Eligible Funds to foreign jurisdictions.

   18. POSSIBLE CHARGE FOR TAXES. At the present time, the Company makes no
charge to the Separate Account for any Federal, state, or local taxes (as
opposed to Premium Tax Charges which are deducted from premium payments) that
it incurs which may be attributable to such Separate Account or to the
Policies. The Company, however, reserves the right in the future to make a
charge for any such tax or other economic burden resulting from the application
of the tax laws that it determines to be properly attributable to the Separate
Account or to the Policies.

                    RESTRICTIONS ON FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS

   Applicable laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering
might, in certain circumstances, require us to reject a premium payment and/or
block or "freeze" your Policy. If these laws apply in a particular situation,
we would not be allowed to process any request for withdrawals, surrenders,
loans or death benefits, make transfers or continue making payments under your
death benefit option until instructions are received from the appropriate
regulator. We also may be required to provide additional information about you
or your Policy to government regulators.

                               LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

   In the ordinary course of business, General American, similar to other life
insurance companies, is involved in lawsuits (including class action lawsuits),
arbitrations and other legal proceedings. Also, from time to time, state and
federal regulators or other officials conduct formal and informal examinations
or undertake other actions dealing with various aspects of the financial
services and insurance industries. In some legal proceedings involving
insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement
payments have been made. It is not possible to predict with certainty the
ultimate outcome of any pending legal proceeding or regulatory action. However,
General American does not believe any such action or proceeding 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 General American to meet its obligations under the
Contracts.

                             FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   The financial statements of General American which are included in this
prospectus supplement should be distinguished from the financial statements of
the Separate Account, which are also included in this prospectus supplement,
and should be considered only as bearing on the ability of General American to
meet its obligations under the Policy. They should not be considered as bearing
on the investment performance of the assets held in the Separate Account.

                      Supplement dated December 16, 2010
            To the Prospectuses Dated May 1, 2000 (as supplemented)

   Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (the "Company") has filed an application
with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") requesting an order to
allow the Company to remove a variable investment option ("Existing Fund") and
substitute a new option ("Replacement Fund") as shown below. The Replacement
Fund is a portfolio of Metropolitan Series Fund, Inc. To the extent that the
Replacement Fund is not currently available as an investment option under your
Policy, such Replacement Fund will be added as an investment option on or
before the date of the substitution. Please retain this supplement and keep it
with the prospectus.

   To the extent required by law, approval of the proposed substitution is
being obtained from the state insurance regulators in certain jurisdictions.

   The Company believes that the proposed substitution is in the best interest
of policyholders. The Replacement Fund will have at least similar investment
objectives and policies as the Existing Fund. The Company will bear all
expenses related to the substitution, and it will have no tax consequences for
you. The Company anticipates that, if such order is granted, the proposed
substitution will occur on or about May 1, 2011.

   The proposed substitution and advisers and/or sub-advisers for the
above-listed policies are:

 EXISTING FUND AND CURRENT ADVISER
 (WITH CURRENT SUB-ADVISER AS NOTED)      REPLACEMENT FUND AND SUB-ADVISER
 -----------------------------------    -------------------------------------
 Van Eck VIP Global Hard Assets Fund    Van Eck Global Natural Resources
 (Initial Class)                        Portfolio (Class A)
 Van Eck Associates Corporation         Van Eck Associates Corporation

Please note that:

    -  No action is required on your part at this time. You will not need to
       file a new election or take any immediate action if the SEC approves the
       substitutions.

    -  The elections you have on file for allocating your cash value, premium
       payments and deductions will be redirected to the Replacement Fund
       unless you change your elections and transfer your funds before the
       substitution takes place.

    -  You may transfer amounts in your policy among the variable investment
       options and the fixed option as usual. The substitution itself will not
       be treated as a transfer for purposes of the transfer provisions of your
       policy, subject to the Company's restrictions on transfers to




       prevent or limit "market timing" activities by policy owners or agents
       of policy owners.

    -  If you make one transfer from an Existing Fund into one or more other
       subaccounts before the substitution, or from a Replacement Fund after
       the substitution, any transfer charge that might otherwise be imposed
       will be waived from the date of this Notice through the date that is 30
       days after the substitution. In addition, if you make one transfer from
       an Existing Fund into a subaccount before the substitution or from a
       Replacement Fund within 30 days after the substitution, the transfer
       will not be treated as one of a limited number of transfers (or
       exchanges) permitted under your policy.

    -  On the effective date of the substitution, your cash value in the
       variable investment option will be the same as before the substitution.
       However, the number of units you receive in the Replacement Fund will be
       different from the number of units in your Existing Fund, due to the
       difference in unit values.

    -  There will be no tax consequences to you.

   In connection with the substitution, we will send you a prospectus for the
Replacement Fund as well as notice of the actual date of the substitution and
confirmation of transfer.

   Please contact your registered representative if you have any questions.

THIS SUPPLEMENT SHOULD BE READ AND RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

 Transactions and Inquiries

   You may request an account transfer or reallocation of future premiums by
written request (which may be telecopied) to our Administrative Office, by
telephoning us, or over the Internet. To request a transfer or reallocation by
telephone, you should contact your registered representative, or contact us at
(800) 638-9294. To request a transfer or reallocation over the Internet, you
may log on to our website at www.genamerica.com. We use reasonable procedures
to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone, facsimile or Internet
are genuine. Any telephone, facsimile or Internet instructions that we
reasonably believe to be genuine will be your responsibility, including losses
arising from any errors in the communication of instructions. However, because
telephone and Internet transactions may be available to anyone who provides
certain information about you and your Policy, 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, facsimile, and computer systems (including the Internet) may not
always be available. Any telephone, facsimile, or computer system, whether it
is yours, your service provider's, your registered representative's, or ours,
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 by writing to our Administrative Office.

   If you send premium payments or transaction requests to an address other
than the one we have designated for receipt of such payments or requests, we
may return the premium payment to you, or there may be a delay in applying the
payment or transaction to your Policy.

   THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT. The separate account consists of divisions, each of
which corresponds to an underlying Fund. Each division may either make money or
lose money. Therefore if you invest in a division of the separate account, you
may either make money or lose money, depending on the investment experience of
that division. There is no guaranteed rate of return in the separate account.

   The following chart shows the Funds that are available under the policy
along with the name of the investment adviser, sub-adviser (where applicable)
and investment objective of each Fund. The Funds have different investment
goals and strategies. You should review the prospectus of each Fund, or seek
professional guidance in determining which Fund(s) best meet your objectives.

                                 POLICY RIGHTS

TRANSFERS

The following paragraph is revised.

   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., the Artio International
Stock Portfolio, Morgan Stanley EAFE Index Portfolio, Neuberger Berman Genesis
Portfolio, Russell 2000 Index Portfolio, T. Rowe Price Small Cap Growth
Portfolio, Harris Oakmark International Portfolio, Lord Abbett Bond Debenture
Portfolio, Invesco Small Cap Growth Portfolio, MFS Research International
Portfolio, Clarion Global Real Estate Portfolio, American Funds Global Small
Capitalization Fund, JPMorgan Insurance Trust Small Cap Core Portfolio, Russell
Aggressive Equity Fund, Russell Non-U.S. Fund, Van Eck VIP Emerging Markets
Fund and Van Eck VIP Global Hard Assets Fund) and we monitor transfer activity
in those Funds (the "Monitored Portfolios"). In addition, as described below,
we intend to 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 Monitored 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 Cash Value; and (3) two or more "round-trips" involving any Monitored
Portfolio 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.




SEPARATE ACCOUNT CHARGES
   We will waive the following amount of the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge:
the amount, if any, equal to the underlying fund expenses that are in excess of
0.68% for the Division investing in the Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation
Portfolio, and that are in excess of 0.88% for the Division investing in the
MFS Research International Portfolio.

                              FEDERAL TAX MATTERS

INTRODUCTION

   The following summary provides a general description of the Federal income
tax considerations associated with the Policy and does not purport to be
complete or to cover all situations. This discussion is not intended as tax
advice. Counsel or other competent tax advisers should be consulted for more
complete information. This discussion is based upon General American's
understanding of the present Federal income tax laws as they are currently
interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service. No representation is made as to
the likelihood of continuation of the present Federal income tax laws or of the
current interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service.

   IRS CIRCULAR 230 NOTICE: The tax information contained herein is not
intended to (and cannot) be used by anyone to avoid IRS penalties. It is
intended to support the sale of the Policy. The Policy Owner should seek tax
advice based on the Policy Owner's particular circumstances from an independent
tax adviser.

TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY

   In order to qualify as a life insurance contract for Federal income tax
purposes and to receive the tax treatment normally accorded life insurance
contracts under Federal tax law, a Policy must satisfy certain requirements
which are set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. Guidance as to how these
requirements are to be applied is limited, in particular, with respect to joint
and last survivor life insurance policies. Nevertheless, we believe that the
Policies should satisfy the applicable requirements. However, the rules are not
entirely clear with respect to Policies issued on a substandard or guaranteed
issue basis. We may take appropriate steps to bring the Policy into compliance
with applicable requirements, and we reserve the right to restrict Policy
transactions in order to do so. The insurance proceeds payable on the death of
the insured will never be less than the minimum amount required for the Policy
to be treated as life insurance under section 7702 of the Internal Revenue
Code, as in effect on the date the Policy was issued.

   In some circumstances, owners of variable contracts who retain excessive
control over the investment of the underlying separate account assets may be
treated as the owners of those assets. Although published guidance in this area
does not address certain aspects of the Policies, we believe that the Owner of
a Policy should not be treated as the owner of the Separate Account assets. We
reserve the right to modify the Policies to bring them into conformity with
applicable standards should such modification be necessary to prevent Owners of
the Policies from being treated as the owners of the underlying Separate
Account assets.

   In addition, the Code requires that the investments of the Separate Account
be "adequately diversified" in order for the Policies to be treated as life
insurance contracts for Federal income tax purposes. It is intended that the
Separate Account, through the Eligible Funds, will satisfy these
diversification requirements. If Eligible Fund shares are sold directly to
either non-qualified plans or to tax-qualified retirement plans that later lose
their tax qualified status, there may be adverse consequences under the
diversification rules.

   The following discussion assumes that the Policy will qualify as a life
insurance contract for Federal income tax purposes.

   1. TAX TREATMENT OF POLICY BENEFITS. In general, the Company believes that
the proceeds and Cash Value increases of a Policy should be treated in a manner
consistent with a fixed-benefit life insurance policy for Federal income tax
purposes. Thus, the death benefit under the Policy should be excludable from
the gross income of the Beneficiary to the extent provided in under Section 101
of the Code. In the case of employer-owned life insurance as defined in
Section 101(j), the amount of the death benefit excludable from gross income is
limited to premiums paid unless the Policy falls within certain specified
exceptions and a notice and consent requirement is satisfied before the Policy
is issued. Certain specified exceptions are based on the status of an employee
as highly compensated or recently employed. There are also exceptions for
Policy proceeds paid to an employee's heirs. These exceptions only apply if
proper notice is given to the




insured employee and consent is received from the insured employee before the
issuance of the Policy. These rules apply to Policies issued August 18, 2006
and later and also apply to policies issued before August 18, 2006 after a
material increase in the death benefit or other material change. An IRS
reporting requirement applies to employer-owned life insurance subject to these
rules. Because these rules are complex and will affect the tax treatment of
death benefits, it is advisable to consult tax counsel. The death benefit will
also be taxable in the case of a transfer-for-value unless certain exceptions
apply.

   Many changes or transactions involving a Policy may have tax consequences,
depending on the circumstances. Such changes include, but are not limited to,
the exchange of the Policy, a change of the Policy's Face Amount, a Policy
Loan, an additional premium payment, a Policy lapse with an outstanding Policy
Loan, a partial withdrawal, or a surrender of the Policy. The transfer of the
Policy or designation of a Beneficiary may have Federal, state, and/or local
transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of gift,
estate, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. For example, the transfer of
the Policy to, or the designation as a Beneficiary of, or the payment of
proceeds to, a person who is assigned to a generation which is two or more
generations below the generation assignment of the Owner may have generation
skipping transfer tax consequences under Federal tax law. The individual
situation of each Owner or Beneficiary will determine the extent, if any, to
which Federal, state, and local transfer and inheritance taxes may be imposed
and how ownership or receipt of Policy proceeds will be treated for purposes of
Federal, state and local estate, inheritance, generation skipping and other
taxes.

   A Policy may also be used in various arrangements, including non-qualified
deferred compensation or salary continuation plans, split dollar insurance
plans, executive bonus plans, retiree medical benefit plans and others. The tax
consequences of such plans may vary depending on the particular facts and
circumstances of each individual arrangement. Therefore, if you are
contemplating the use of a Policy in any arrangement the value of which depends
in part on its tax consequences, you should be sure to consult a qualified tax
adviser regarding the tax attributes of the particular arrangement.

   Generally, the Owner will not be deemed to be in constructive receipt of the
Policy's Cash Value, including increments thereof, under the Policy until there
is a distribution. Under a complete surrender or lapse of any Policy, if the
amount received plus the amount of outstanding Indebtedness exceeds the total
investments in the Policy, the excess will generally be treated as ordinary
income subject to tax. The tax consequences of other distributions from, and
Policy Loans taken from or secured by, a Policy depend upon whether the Policy
is classified as a "modified endowment contract".

   2. MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS. A policy may be treated as a modified
endowment contract depending upon the amount of premiums paid in relation to
the death benefit provided under such Policy. The premium limitation rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are extremely
complex. In general, however, a Policy will be a modified endowment contract if
the accumulated premiums paid at any time during the first seven Policy Years
exceed the sum of the net level premiums which would have been paid on or
before such time if the Policy provided for paid-up future benefits after the
payment of seven level annual premiums.

   In addition, if a Policy is "materially changed" it may cause such Policy to
be treated as a modified endowment contract. The material change rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are also
extremely complex. In general, however, the determination of whether a Policy
will be a modified endowment contract after a material change generally depends
upon the relationship among the death benefit at the time of such change, the
Cash Value at the time of the change and the additional premiums paid in the
seven Policy Years starting with the date on which the material change occurs.

   Moreover, a life insurance contract received in exchange for a life
insurance contract classified as a modified endowment contract will also be
treated as a modified endowment contract. A reduction in a Policy's benefits
may also cause such Policy to become a modified endowment contract.

   Accordingly, a prospective Owner should contact a competent tax adviser
before purchasing a Policy to determine the circumstances under which the
Policy would be a modified endowment contract. In addition, an Owner should
contact a competent tax adviser before paying any additional premiums or making
any other change to, including an exchange of, a Policy to determine whether
such premium or change would cause the Policy (or the new Policy in the case of
an exchange) to be treated as a modified endowment contract.

NOTE: MOST DESTINY POLICIES WERE MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTACTS FROM THE DATE OF
ISSUE, THEREFORE, DISTRIBUTIONS FROM MOST DESTINY POLICIES ARE TAXED AS FOLLOWS:

   3. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT.
Policies classified as modified endowment contracts will be subject to the
following tax rules: First, all distributions, including distributions upon
surrender, from such a Policy are treated as ordinary income subject to tax up
to the amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Cash Value immediately before
the distribution over the investment in the Policy (described below) at such
time. Second, Policy Loans taken from, or secured by, such a Policy, as




well as due but unpaid interest thereon, are treated as distributions from such
a Policy and taxed accordingly. Third, a 10 percent additional income tax is
imposed on the portion of any distribution from, or Policy Loan taken from or
secured by, such a Policy that is included in income, except where the
distribution or Policy Loan (a) is made on or after the Owner attains age 59
1/2, (b) is attributable to the Owner's becoming disabled, or (c) is part of a
series of substantially equal periodic payments for the life (or life
expectancy) of the Owner or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the
Owner and the Owner's Beneficiary. The foregoing exceptions to the 10 percent
additional income tax will generally not apply to a corporate Policy Owner.

   4. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES NOT CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT
CONTRACT. Distributions from Policies not classified as a modified endowment
contracts are generally treated as first recovering the investment in the
Policy (described below) and then, only after the return of all such investment
in the Policy, as distributing taxable income. An exception to this general
rule occurs in the case of a decrease in the Policy's death benefit (possibly
including a partial withdrawal) or any other change that reduces benefits under
the Policy in the first 15 years after the Policy is issued and that results in
cash distribution to the Owner in order for the Policy to continue complying
with the Section 7702 definitional limits. Such a cash distribution will be
taxed in whole or in part as ordinary income (to the extent of any gain in the
Policy) under rules prescribed in Section 7702.

   Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment
contract should generally not be treated as distributions. Instead, such loans
should generally be treated as indebtedness of the Owner. However, because the
tax consequences associated with Policy Loans are not always clear, in
particular, with respect to Policy Loans outstanding after the tenth Policy
year, you should consult a tax adviser prior to taking any Policy Loan.

   Upon a complete surrender or lapse of a Policy that is not a modified
endowment contract, if the amount received plus the amount of indebtedness
exceeds the total investment in the Policy, the excess will generally be
treated as ordinary income subject to tax.

   Neither distributions (including distributions upon surrender or lapse) nor
Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment
contract are subject to the 10 percent additional income tax.

   If a Policy which is not a modified endowment contract subsequently becomes
a modified endowment contract, then any distribution made from the Policy
within two years prior to the date of such change in status may become taxable.

   5. POLICY LOANS. Generally, interest paid on any loan under a life insurance
Policy is not deductible. AN OWNER SHOULD CONSULT A COMPETENT TAX ADVISER IF
THE DEDUCTIBILITY OF LOAN INTEREST IS A CONSIDERATION IN THE PURCHASE OF A
POLICY. If a Policy Loan is outstanding when a Policy is canceled or lapses,
the amount of the outstanding Indebtedness will be added to the amount
distributed and will be taxed accordingly.

   6. INTEREST EXPENSE ON UNRELATED INDEBTEDNESS. Under provisions added to the
Code in 1997 for policies issued after June 8, 1997, if a business taxpayer
owns or is the beneficiary of a Policy on the life of any individual who is not
an officer, director, employee, or 20 percent owner of the business, and the
taxpayer also has debt unrelated to the Policy, a portion of the taxpayer's
unrelated interest expense deductions may be lost. No business taxpayer should
purchase, exchange, or increase the death benefit under a Policy on the life of
any individual who is not an officer, director, employee, or 20 percent owner
of the business without first consulting a competent tax adviser.

   7. INVESTMENT IN THE POLICY. Investment in the Policy means (i) the
aggregate amount of any premiums or other consideration paid for a Policy,
minus (ii) the aggregate amount received under the Policy which is excluded
from gross income of the Owner (except that the amount of any Policy Loan from,
or secured by, a Policy that is a modified endowment contract, to the extent
such amount is excluded from gross income, will be disregarded), plus (iii) the
amount of any Policy Loan from, or secured by, a Policy that is a modified
endowment contract to the extent that such amount is included in the gross
income of the Owner.

   8. MULTIPLE POLICES. All modified endowment contracts that are issued by the
Company (or its affiliates) to the same Owner during any calendar year are
treated as one modified endowment contract for purposes of determining the
amount includible in gross income under Section 72(e) of the Code.

   9. LIFE INSURANCE PURCHASES BY NONRESIDENT ALIENS AND FOREIGN CORPORATIONS.
Policy Owners that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally be subject
to U.S. Federal withholding tax on taxable distributions from life insurance
policies at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, Policy
Owners may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes that may be
imposed by the Policy Owner's country of citizenship or residence.

   10. WITHHOLDING. To the extent that Policy distributions are taxable, they
are generally subject to withholding for the recipient's Federal income tax
liability. Recipients can generally elect, however, not to have tax withheld




from distributions.
   11. ESTATE, GIFT AND GENERATION-SKIPPING TRANSFER TAXES. The transfer of the
Policy or the designation of a beneficiary may have Federal, state, and/or
local transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of
gift, estate, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. When the insured dies,
the death proceeds will generally be includable in the Policy Owner's estate
for purposes of the Federal estate tax if the Policy Owner was the insured. If
the Policy Owner was not the insured, the fair market value of the Policy would
be included in the Policy Owner's estate upon the Policy Owner's death. The
Policy would not be includable in the insured's estate if the insured neither
retained incidents of ownership at death nor had given up ownership within
three years before death.

   Moreover, under certain circumstances, the Internal Revenue Code may impose
a "generation-skipping transfer tax" when all or part of a life insurance
policy is transferred to, or a death benefit is paid to, an individual two or
more generations younger than the Policy Owner. Regulations issued under the
Internal Revenue Code may require us to deduct the tax from your Policy, or
from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the IRS.

   Qualified tax advisers should be consulted concerning the estate and gift
tax consequences of Policy ownership and distributions under Federal, state and
local law. The individual situation of each Policy Owner or beneficiary will
determine the extent, if any, to which Federal, state, and local transfer and
inheritance taxes may be imposed and how ownership or receipt of Policy
proceeds will be treated for purposes of Federal, state and local estate,
inheritance, generation-skipping and other taxes.

   The Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 ("EGTRRA")
repeals the Federal estate tax and replaces it with a carryover basis income
tax regime effective for estates of decedents dying after December 31, 2009.
EGTRRA also repeals the generation-skipping transfer tax, but not the gift tax,
for transfers made after December 31, 2009. EGTRRA contains a sunset provision,
which essentially returns the Federal estate, gift and generation-skipping
transfer taxes to their pre-EGTRRA form, beginning in 2011.

   During the period prior to 2010, EGTRRA provides for periodic decreases in
the maximum estate tax rate coupled with periodic increases in the estate tax
exemption. The maximum estate tax rate for 2007-2009 is 45%. The estate tax
exemption is $2,000,000 for 2006-2008 and $3,500,000 in 2009.

   In general, the estate tax has been repealed for estates of decedents dying
in 2010, but is scheduled to be reinstated in 2011 with an exemption of
$1 million and a maximum rate of 55%. The generation-skipping transfer (GST)
tax has also been repealed for 2010, and is scheduled to return in 2011, with
an exemption of $1 million, plus inflation-indexed increases.

   During the repeal of the estate tax in 2010, the basis of assets received
from a decedent generally will carry over from the decedent, rather than being
stepped-up to date-of-death value.

   It is not known if Congress will enact permanent repeal of the estate and
GST tax or will reinstate the estate tax or GST tax for 2010, and, if so,
whether the reinstatement will be made retroactive to January 1, 2010. Please
consult your tax adviser.

   The complexity of the tax law, along with uncertainty as to how it might be
modified in 2010 and in coming years, underscores the importance of seeking
guidance from a qualified adviser to help ensure that your estate plan
adequately addresses your needs and those of your beneficiaries under all
possible scenarios.

   12. CONTINUATION OF POLICY BEYOND ATTAINED AGE 100. The tax consequences of
continuing the Policy beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100 birthday are
unclear. You should consult a tax adviser if you intend to keep the Policy in
force beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100.

   13. GUIDANCE ON SPLIT DOLLAR PLANS. The IRS has issued guidance on split
dollar insurance plans. A tax adviser should be consulted with respect to this
guidance if your Policy is, or may become, subject to a split dollar insurance
plan. If your Policy is part of an equity split dollar arrangement taxed under
the economic benefit regime, there is a risk that some portion of the Policy
cash value may be taxed prior to any Policy distribution.

   In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act") which was signed




into law on July 30, 2002, prohibits, with exceptions, publicly-traded
companies, including non-U.S. companies that have securities listed on U.S.
exchanges, from extending, directly or indirectly or through a subsidiary, many
types of personal loans to their directors or executive officers. It is
possible that this prohibition may be interpreted to apply to split-dollar life
insurance arrangements for directors and executive officers of such companies,
since such arrangements can arguably be viewed as involving a loan from the
employer for at least some purposes.

   Any affected business contemplating the payment of a premium on an existing
Policy or the purchase of new Policy in connection with a split-dollar life
insurance arrangement should consult legal counsel.

   Split dollar insurance plans that provide deferred compensation may be
subject to recently enacted rules governing deferred compensation arrangements.
Failure to adhere to these rules will result in adverse tax consequences. A tax
adviser should be consulted with respect to such plans.

   14. ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX. There may also be an indirect tax upon the
income in the Policy or the proceeds of a Policy under the Federal corporate
alternative minimum tax, if the Owner is subject to that tax.

   15. PUERTO RICO. We believe that Policies subject to Puerto Rican tax law
will generally receive treatment similar, with certain modifications, to that
described above. Among other differences, Policies governed by Puerto Rican tax
law are not currently subject to the rules described above regarding Modified
Endowment Contracts. You should consult your tax adviser with respect to Puerto
Rican tax law governing the Policies.

   16. POSSIBLE TAX LAW CHANGES. Although the likelihood of legislative changes
is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the
Policy could change by legislation or otherwise. Consult a tax adviser with
respect to legislative developments and their effect on the Policy.

   17. FOREIGN TAX CREDITS. To the extent permitted under Federal tax law, we
may claim the benefit of certain foreign tax credits attributable to taxes paid
by certain Eligible Funds to foreign jurisdictions.

   18. POSSIBLE CHARGE FOR TAXES. At the present time, the Company makes no
charge to the Separate Account for any Federal, state, or local taxes (as
opposed to Premium Tax Charges which are deducted from premium payments) that
it incurs which may be attributable to such Separate Account or to the
Policies. The Company, however, reserves the right in the future to make a
charge for any such tax or other economic burden resulting from the application
of the tax laws that it determines to be properly attributable to the Separate
Account or to the Policies.

                    RESTRICTIONS ON FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS

   Applicable laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering




might, in certain circumstances, require us to reject a premium payment and/or
block or "freeze" your Policy. If these laws apply in a particular situation,
we would not be allowed to process any request for withdrawals, surrenders,
loans or death benefits, make transfers or continue making payments under your
death benefit option until instructions are received from the appropriate
regulator. We also may be required to provide additional information about you
or your Policy to government regulators.

                               LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

   In the ordinary course of business, General American, similar to other life
insurance companies, is involved in lawsuits (including class action lawsuits),
arbitrations and other legal proceedings. Also, from time to time, state and
federal regulators or other officials conduct formal and informal examinations
or undertake other actions dealing with various aspects of the financial
services and insurance industries. In some legal proceedings involving
insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement
payments have been made. It is not possible to predict with certainty the
ultimate outcome of any pending legal proceeding or regulatory action. However,
General American does not believe any such action or proceeding 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 General American to meet its obligations under the
Contracts.

                             FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   The financial statements of General American which are included in this
prospectus supplement should be distinguished from the financial statements of
the Separate Account, which are also included in this prospectus supplement,
and should be considered only as bearing on the ability of General American to
meet its obligations under the Policy. They should not be considered as bearing
on the investment performance of the assets held in the Separate Account.

 Transactions and Inquiries

   You may request an account transfer or reallocation of future premiums by
written request (which may be telecopied) to our Administrative Office, by
telephoning us, or over the Internet. To request a transfer or reallocation by
telephone, you should contact your registered representative, or contact us at
(800) 638-9294. To request a transfer or reallocation over the Internet, you
may log on to our website at www.genamerica.com. We use reasonable procedures
to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone, facsimile or Internet
are genuine. Any telephone, facsimile or Internet instructions that we
reasonably believe to be genuine will be your responsibility, including losses
arising from any errors in the communication of instructions. However, because
telephone and Internet transactions may be available to anyone who provides
certain information about you and your Policy, 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, facsimile, and computer systems (including the Internet) may not
always be available. Any telephone, facsimile, or computer system, whether it
is yours, your service provider's, your registered representative's, or ours,
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 by writing to our Administrative Office.

   If you send premium payments or transaction requests to an address other
than the one we have designated for receipt of such payments or requests, we
may return the premium payment to you, or there may be a delay in applying the
payment or transaction to your Policy.

   THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT. The separate account consists of divisions, each of
which corresponds to an underlying Fund. Each division may either make money or
lose money. Therefore if you invest in a division of the separate account, you
may either make money or lose money, depending on the investment experience of
that division. There is no guaranteed rate of return in the separate account.

   The following chart shows the Funds that are available under the policy
along with the name of the investment adviser, sub-adviser (where applicable)
and investment objective of each Fund. The Funds have different investment
goals and strategies. You should review the prospectus of each Fund, or seek
professional guidance in determining which Fund(s) best meet your objectives.

    a portfolio as a result of investing in shares of one or more underlying
    portfolios.
**  Net Total Annual Operating Expenses do not reflect: (1) voluntary waivers of
     fees or expenses; (2) contractual waivers that are in effect for less than
    one year from the date of this prospectus supplement; or (3) expense
    reductions resulting from custodial fee credits or directed brokerage

CERTAIN PAYMENTS WE RECEIVE WITH REGARD TO THE FUNDS

   An investment adviser (other than our affiliate, MetLife Advisers, LLC) or
sub-adviser or its affiliates may make payments to us and/or certain
affiliates. These payments may be used for a variety of purposes, including
payment for expenses for certain administrative, marketing and support services
with respect to the Policies and, in our role as intermediary, with respect to
the Funds. We and our affiliates may profit from these payments. These payments
may be derived, in whole or in part, from the advisory fee deducted from
Portfolio assets. Policy owners, through their indirect investment in the
Portfolios, bear the costs of these advisory fees (see the Fund prospectuses
for more information). The amount of the payments we receive is based on a
percentage of assets of the Fund attributable to the Policies and certain other
variable insurance products that we and our affiliates issue. These percentages
differ and some advisers or sub-advisers (or other affiliates) may pay us more
than others. These percentages currently range up to 0.50%. Additionally, an
investment adviser or sub-adviser of a Fund or its affiliates may provide us
with wholesaling services that assist in the distribution of the Policies 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 sub-adviser (or
other affiliate) with increased access to persons involved in the distribution
of the Policies.

   We and certain of our affiliated insurance companies have joint ownership
interests in our affiliated investment adviser, MetLife Advisers, LLC, which is
organized 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 management fees it receives from a Fund. We will benefit
accordingly from assets allocated to the Funds to the extent they result in
profits to the adviser. (See "Charges and Deductions -- Annual Fund Operating
Expenses" for information on the management fees paid to the adviser and the
Statement of Additional Information for the Funds for information on the
management fees paid by the adviser to sub-advisers.)

   The American Funds Global Small Capitalization Fund, the American Funds
Growth Fund and the American Funds Growth-Income Fund have adopted a
Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. A
Fund's 12b-1 Plan, if any, is described in more detail in each Fund's
prospectus. (See also "Charges and Deductions -- Annual Fund Operating
Expenses.") Any payments we receive pursuant to a Fund's 12b-1 Plan are paid to
us or our Distributor. Payments under a Fund's 12b-1 Plan decrease the Fund's
investment return.

   We pay American Funds Distributors, Inc., principal underwriter for the
American Funds Insurance Series, a percentage of all premiums 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 Policies.

                                POLICY BENEFITS

DEATH BENEFIT

   The following paragraphs are added.

   TOTAL CONTROL ACCOUNT. Unless otherwise requested, the Policy's death
proceeds may be paid to your beneficiary through an account called the Total
Control Account. The Total Control Account is an interest-bearing account
through which the beneficiary has complete access to the proceeds, with
unlimited check writing privileges. We credit interest to the account at a rate
that will not be less than a minimum guaranteed rate. You may also elect to
have any Policy surrender proceeds paid into a Total Control Account
established for you.

   Assets backing the Total Control Accounts are maintained in our general
account and are subject to the claims of our creditors. We will bear the
Investment experience of such assets; however, regardless of the investment
experience of such assets, the interest credited to the Total Control Account
will never fall below the applicable guaranteed minimum rate. Because we bear
the investment experience of the assets backing the Total Control




Accounts, we may receive a profit from these assets. The Total Control Account
is not insured by the FDIC or any other governmental agency.

                                 POLICY RIGHTS

TRANSFERS

   The following paragraph is revised.

   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., the BlackRock Strategic
Value Portfolio, Artio International Stock Portfolio, Morgan Stanley EAFE Index
Portfolio, Russell 2000 Index Portfolio, T. Rowe Price Small Cap Growth
Portfolio, Harris Oakmark International Portfolio, Lord Abbett Bond Debenture
Portfolio, Met/AIM Small Cap Growth Portfolio, MFS Research International
Portfolio, Clarion Global Real Estate Portfolio, American Funds Global Small
Capitalization Fund, JPMorgan Insurance Trust Small Cap Core Portfolio, Russell
Aggressive Equity Fund, Russell Non-U.S. Fund, Van Eck Worldwide Emerging
Markets Fund and Van Eck Worldwide Hard Assets Fund) and we monitor transfer
activity in those Funds (the "Monitored Portfolios"). In addition, as described
below, we intend to 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 Monitored 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 Cash Value; and (3) two or more "round-trips" involving any
Monitored Portfolio 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.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT CHARGES

   We will waive the following amount of the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge:
the amount, if any, equal to the underlying fund expenses that are in excess of
0.68% for the Division investing in the Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation
Portfolio, and that are in excess of 0.88% for the Division investing in the
MFS Research International Portfolio.

                              FEDERAL TAX MATTERS

INTRODUCTION

   The following summary provides a general description of the Federal income
tax considerations associated with the Policy and does not purport to be
complete or to cover all situations. This discussion is not intended as tax
advice. Counsel or other competent tax advisers should be consulted for more
complete information. This discussion is based upon General American's
understanding of the present Federal income tax laws as they are currently
interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service. No representation is made as to
the likelihood of continuation of the present Federal income tax laws or of the
current interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service.

   IRS CIRCULAR 230 NOTICE: The tax information contained herein is not
intended to (and cannot) be used by anyone to avoid IRS penalties. It is
intended to support the sale of the Policy. The Policy Owner should seek tax
advice based on the Policy Owner's particular circumstances from an independent
tax adviser.

TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY

   In order to qualify as a life insurance contract for Federal income tax
purposes and to receive the tax treatment normally accorded life insurance
contracts under Federal tax law, a Policy must satisfy certain requirements
which are set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. Guidance as to how these
requirements are to be applied is limited, in particular, with respect to joint
and last survivor life insurance policies. Nevertheless, we believe that the
Policies should satisfy the applicable requirements. However, the rules are not
entirely clear with respect to Policies issued on




a substandard or guaranteed issue basis. We may take appropriate steps to bring
the Policy into compliance with applicable requirements, and we reserve the
right to restrict Policy transactions in order to do so. The insurance proceeds
payable on the death of the insured will never be less than the minimum amount
required for the Policy to be treated as life insurance under section 7702 of
the Internal Revenue Code, as in effect on the date the Policy was issued.

   In some circumstances, owners of variable contracts who retain excessive
control over the investment of the underlying separate account assets may be
treated as the owners of those assets. Although published guidance in this area
does not address certain aspects of the Policies, we believe that the Owner of
a Policy should not be treated as the owner of the Separate Account assets. We
reserve the right to modify the Policies to bring them into conformity with
applicable standards should such modification be necessary to prevent Owners of
the Policies from being treated as the owners of the underlying Separate
Account assets.

   In addition, the Code requires that the investments of the Separate Account
be "adequately diversified" in order for the Policies to be treated as life
insurance contracts for Federal income tax purposes. It is intended that the
Separate Account, through the Eligible Funds, will satisfy these
diversification requirements. If Eligible Fund shares are sold directly to
either non-qualified plans or to tax-qualified retirement plans that later lose
their tax qualified status, the variable account investing in the Eligible Fund
may fail the diversification requirements of Section 817(h) of the Internal
Revenue Code. This could have adverse tax consequences for variable life
insurance owners, including losing the benefit of tax deferral.

   The following discussion assumes that the Policy will qualify as a life
insurance contract for Federal income tax purposes.

   1. TAX TREATMENT OF POLICY BENEFITS. In general, the Company believes that
the proceeds and Cash Value increases of a Policy should be treated in a manner
consistent with a fixed-benefit life insurance policy for Federal income tax
purposes. Thus, the death benefit under the Policy should be excludable from
the gross income of the Beneficiary to the extent provided in under Section 101
of the Code. In the case of employer-owned life insurance as defined in
Section 101(j), the amount of the death benefit excludable from gross income is
limited to premiums paid unless the Policy falls within certain specified
exceptions and a notice and consent requirement is satisfied before the Policy
is issued. Certain specified exceptions are based on the status of an employee
as highly compensated or recently employed. There are also exceptions for
Policy proceeds paid to an employee's heirs. These exceptions only apply if
proper notice is given to the insured employee and consent is received from the
insured employee before the issuance of the Policy. These rules apply to
Policies issued August 18, 2006 and later and also apply to policies issued
before August 18, 2006 after a material increase in the death benefit or other
material change. An IRS reporting requirement applies to employer-owned life
insurance subject to these rules. Because these rules are complex and will
affect the tax treatment of death benefits, it is advisable to consult tax
counsel. The death benefit will also be taxable in the case of a
transfer-for-value unless certain exceptions apply.

   Many changes or transactions involving a Policy may have tax consequences,
depending on the circumstances. Such changes include, but are not limited to,
the exchange of the Policy, a change of the Policy's Face Amount, a Policy
Loan, an additional premium payment, a Policy lapse with an outstanding Policy
Loan, a partial withdrawal, or a surrender of the Policy. The transfer of the
Policy or designation of a Beneficiary may have Federal, state, and/or local
transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of gift,
estate, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. For example, the transfer of
the Policy to, or the designation as a Beneficiary of, or the payment of
proceeds to, a person who is assigned to a generation which is two or more
generations below the generation assignment of the Owner may have generation
skipping transfer tax consequences under Federal tax law. The individual
situation of each Owner or Beneficiary will determine the extent, if any, to
which Federal, state, and local transfer and inheritance taxes may be imposed
and how ownership or receipt of Policy proceeds will be treated for purposes of
Federal, state and local estate, inheritance, generation skipping and other
taxes.

   A Policy may also be used in various arrangements, including non-qualified
deferred compensation or salary continuation plans, split dollar insurance
plans, executive bonus plans, retiree medical benefit plans and others. The tax
consequences of such plans may vary depending on the particular facts and
circumstances of each individual arrangement. Therefore, if you are
contemplating the use of a Policy in any arrangement the value of which depends
in part on its tax consequences, you should be sure to consult a qualified tax
adviser regarding the tax attributes of the particular arrangement.

   Generally, the Owner will not be deemed to be in constructive receipt of the
Policy's Cash Value, including increments thereof, under the Policy until there
is a distribution. Under a complete surrender or lapse of any Policy, if the
amount received plus the amount of outstanding Indebtedness exceeds the total
investments in the Policy, the excess will generally be treated as ordinary
income subject to tax. The tax consequences of other distributions from, and
Policy Loans taken from or secured by, a Policy depend upon whether the Policy
is classified as a "modified endowment contract".




   2. MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS. A policy may be treated as a modified
endowment contract depending upon the amount of premiums paid in relation to
the death benefit provided under such Policy. The premium limitation rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are extremely
complex. In general, however, a Policy will be a modified endowment contract if
the accumulated premiums paid at any time during the first seven Policy Years
exceed the sum of the net level premiums which would have been paid on or
before such time if the Policy provided for paid-up future benefits after the
payment of seven level annual premiums.

   In addition, if a Policy is "materially changed" it may cause such Policy to
be treated as a modified endowment contract. The material change rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are also
extremely complex. In general, however, the determination of whether a Policy
will be a modified endowment contract after a material change generally depends
upon the relationship among the death benefit at the time of such change, the
Cash Value at the time of the change and the additional premiums paid in the
seven Policy Years starting with the date on which the material change occurs.

   Moreover, a life insurance contract received in exchange for a life
insurance contract classified as a modified endowment contract will also be
treated as a modified endowment contract. A reduction in a Policy's benefits
may also cause such Policy to become a modified endowment contract.

   Accordingly, a prospective Owner should contact a competent tax adviser
before purchasing a Policy to determine the circumstances under which the
Policy would be a modified endowment contract. In addition, an Owner should
contact a competent tax adviser before paying any additional premiums or making
any other change to, including an exchange of, a Policy to determine whether
such premium or change would cause the Policy (or the new Policy in the case of
an exchange) to be treated as a modified endowment contract.

NOTE:  MOST DESTINY POLICIES WERE MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTACTS FROM THE DATE OF
ISSUE, THEREFORE, DISTRIBUTIONS FROM MOST DESTINY POLICIES ARE TAXED AS FOLLOWS:

   3. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT.
Policies classified as modified endowment contracts will be subject to the
following tax rules: First, all distributions, including distributions upon
surrender, from such a Policy are treated as ordinary income subject to tax up
to the amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Cash Value immediately before
the distribution over the investment in the Policy (described below) at such
time. Second, Policy Loans taken from, or secured by, such a Policy, as well as
due but unpaid interest thereon, are treated as distributions from such a
Policy and taxed accordingly. Third, a 10 percent additional income tax is
imposed on the portion of any distribution from, or Policy Loan taken from or
secured by, such a Policy that is included in income, except where the
distribution or Policy Loan (a) is made on or after the Owner attains age 59
1/2, (b) is attributable to the Owner's becoming disabled, or (c) is part of a
series of substantially equal periodic payments for the life (or life
expectancy) of the Owner or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the
Owner and the Owner's Beneficiary. The foregoing exceptions to the 10 percent
additional income tax will generally not apply to a corporate Policy Owner.

   4. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES NOT CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT
CONTRACT. Distributions from Policies not classified as a modified endowment
contracts are generally treated as first recovering the investment in the
Policy (described below) and then, only after the return of all such investment
in the Policy, as distributing taxable income. An exception to this general
rule occurs in the case of a decrease in the Policy's death benefit (possibly
including a partial withdrawal) or any other change that reduces benefits under
the Policy in the first 15 years after the Policy is issued and that results in
cash distribution to the Owner in order for the Policy to continue complying
with the Section 7702 definitional limits. Such a cash distribution will be
taxed in whole or in part as ordinary income (to the extent of any gain in the
Policy) under rules prescribed in Section 7702.

   Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment
contract should generally not be treated as distributions. Instead, such loans
should generally be treated as indebtedness of the Owner. However, because the
tax consequences associated with Policy Loans are not always clear, in
particular, with respect to Policy Loans outstanding after the tenth Policy
year, you should consult a tax adviser prior to taking any Policy Loan.

   Upon a complete surrender or lapse of a Policy that is not a modified
endowment contract, if the amount received plus the amount of indebtedness
exceeds the total investment in the Policy, the excess will generally be
treated as ordinary income subject to tax.

   Neither distributions (including distributions upon surrender or lapse) nor
Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment
contract are subject to the 10 percent additional income tax.

   If a Policy which is not a modified endowment contract subsequently becomes
a modified endowment contract, then any distribution made from the Policy within




two years prior to the date of such change in status may become taxable.
   5. POLICY LOANS. Generally, interest paid on any loan under a life insurance
Policy is not deductible. AN OWNER SHOULD CONSULT A COMPETENT TAX ADVISER IF
THE DEDUCTIBILITY OF LOAN INTEREST IS A CONSIDERATION IN THE PURCHASE OF A
POLICY. If a Policy Loan is outstanding when a Policy is canceled or lapses,
the amount of the outstanding Indebtedness will be added to the amount
distributed and will be taxed accordingly.

   6. INTEREST EXPENSE ON UNRELATED INDEBTEDNESS. Under provisions added to the
Code in 1997 for policies issued after June 8, 1997, if a business taxpayer
owns or is the beneficiary of a Policy on the life of any individual who is not
an officer, director, employee, or 20 percent owner of the business, and the
taxpayer also has debt unrelated to the Policy, a portion of the taxpayer's
unrelated interest expense deductions may be lost. No business taxpayer should
purchase, exchange, or increase the death benefit under a Policy on the life of
any individual who is not an officer, director, employee, or 20 percent owner
of the business without first consulting a competent tax adviser.

   7. INVESTMENT IN THE POLICY. Investment in the Policy means (i) the
aggregate amount of any premiums or other consideration paid for a Policy,
minus (ii) the aggregate amount received under the Policy which is excluded
from gross income of the Owner (except that the amount of any Policy Loan from,
or secured by, a Policy that is a modified endowment contract, to the extent
such amount is excluded from gross income, will be disregarded), plus (iii) the
amount of any Policy Loan from, or secured by, a Policy that is a modified
endowment contract to the extent that such amount is included in the gross
income of the Owner.

   8. MULTIPLE POLICES. All modified endowment contracts that are issued by the
Company (or its affiliates) to the same Owner during any calendar year are
treated as one modified endowment contract for purposes of determining the
amount includible in gross income under Section 72(e) of the Code.

   9. LIFE INSURANCE PURCHASES BY NONRESIDENT ALIENS AND FOREIGN CORPORATIONS.
Policy Owners that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally be subject
to U.S. Federal withholding tax on taxable distributions from life insurance
policies at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, Policy
Owners may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes that may be
imposed by the Policy Owner's country of citizenship or residence.

   10. WITHHOLDING. To the extent that Policy distributions are taxable, they
are generally subject to withholding for the recipient's Federal income tax
liability. Recipients can generally elect, however, not to have tax withheld
from distributions.

   11. ESTATE, GIFT AND GENERATION-SKIPPING TRANSFER TAXES. The transfer of the
Policy or the designation of a beneficiary may have Federal, state, and/or
local transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of
gift, estate, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. When the insured dies,
the death proceeds will generally be includable in the Policy Owner's estate
for purposes of the Federal estate tax if the Policy Owner was the insured. If
the Policy Owner was not the insured, the fair market value of the Policy would
be included in the Policy Owner's estate upon the Policy Owner's death. The
Policy would not be includable in the insured's estate if the insured neither
retained incidents of ownership at death nor had given up ownership within
three years before death.

   Moreover, under certain circumstances, the Internal Revenue Code may impose
a "generation-skipping transfer tax" when all or part of a life insurance
policy is transferred to, or a death benefit is paid to, an individual two or
more generations younger than the Policy Owner. Regulations issued under the
Internal Revenue Code may require us to deduct the tax from your Policy, or
from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the IRS.

   Qualified tax advisers should be consulted concerning the estate and gift
tax consequences of Policy ownership and distributions under Federal, state and
local law. The individual situation of each Policy Owner or beneficiary will
determine the extent, if any, to which Federal, state, and local transfer and
inheritance taxes may be imposed and how ownership or receipt of Policy
proceeds will be treated for purposes of Federal, state and local estate,
inheritance, generation-skipping and other taxes.

   The Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 ("EGTRRA")
repeals the Federal estate tax and replaces it with a carryover basis income
tax regime effective for estates of decedents dying after December 31, 2009.
EGTRRA also repeals the generation-skipping transfer tax, but not the gift tax,
for transfers made after December 31, 2009. EGTRRA contains a sunset provision,
which essentially returns the Federal estate, gift and generation-skipping
transfer taxes to their pre-EGTRRA form, beginning in 2011. Congress may or may
not enact permanent repeal between now and then.

   During the period prior to 2010, EGTRRA provides for periodic decreases in
the maximum estate tax rate coupled with periodic increases in the estate tax
exemption. The maximum estate tax rate for 2007-2009 is 45%. The estate tax
exemption is $2,000,000 for 2006-2008 and $3,500,000 in 2009.




   The complexity of the new tax law, along with uncertainty as to how it might
be modified in coming years, underscores the importance of seeking guidance
from a qualified adviser to help ensure that your estate plan adequately
addresses your needs and those of your beneficiaries under all possible
scenarios.

   12. CONTINUATION OF POLICY BEYOND ATTAINED AGE 100. The tax consequences of
continuing the Policy beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100 birthday are
unclear. You should consult a tax adviser if you intend to keep the Policy in
force beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100.

   13. GUIDANCE ON SPLIT DOLLAR PLANS. The IRS has issued guidance on split
dollar insurance plans. A tax adviser should be consulted with respect to this
guidance if your Policy is, or may become, subject to a split dollar insurance
plan. If your Policy is part of an equity split dollar arrangement taxed under
the economic benefit regime, there is a risk that some portion of the Policy
cash value may be taxed prior to any Policy distribution.

   In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act") which was signed
into law on July 30, 2002, prohibits, with exceptions, publicly-traded
companies, including non-U.S. companies that have securities listed on U.S.
exchanges, from extending, directly or indirectly or through a subsidiary, many
types of personal loans to their directors or executive officers. It is
possible that this prohibition may be interpreted to apply to split-dollar life
insurance arrangements for directors and executive officers of such companies,
since such arrangements can arguably be viewed as involving a loan from the
employer for at least some purposes.

   Any affected business contemplating the payment of a premium on an existing
Policy or the purchase of new Policy in connection with a split-dollar life
insurance arrangement should consult legal counsel.

   Split dollar insurance plans that provide deferred compensation may be
subject to recently enacted rules governing deferred compensation arrangements.
Failure to adhere to these rules will result in adverse tax consequences. A tax
adviser should be consulted with respect to such plans.

   14. ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX. There may also be an indirect tax upon the
income in the Policy or the proceeds of a Policy under the Federal corporate
alternative minimum tax, if the Owner is subject to that tax.

   15. PUERTO RICO. We believe that Policies subject to Puerto Rican tax law
will generally receive treatment similar, with certain modifications, to that
described above. Among other differences, Policies governed by Puerto Rican tax
law are not currently subject to the rules described above regarding Modified
Endowment Contracts. You should consult your tax adviser with respect to Puerto
Rican tax law governing the Policies.

   16. POSSIBLE TAX LAW CHANGES. Although the likelihood of legislative changes
is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the
Policy could change by legislation or otherwise. Consult a tax adviser with
respect to legislative developments and their effect on the Policy.

   17. FOREIGN TAX CREDITS. To the extent permitted under Federal tax law, we
may claim the benefit of certain foreign tax credits attributable to taxes paid
by certain Eligible Funds to foreign jurisdictions.

   18. POSSIBLE CHARGE FOR TAXES. At the present time, the Company makes no
charge to the Separate Account for any Federal, state, or local taxes (as
opposed to Premium Tax Charges which are deducted from premium payments) that

                    RESTRICTIONS ON FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS

   Applicable laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering
might, in certain circumstances, require us to reject a premium payment and/or
block or "freeze" your Policy. If these laws apply in a particular situation,
we would not be allowed to process any request for withdrawals, surrenders,
loans or death benefits, make transfers or continue making payments under your
death benefit option until instructions are received from the appropriate
regulator. We also may be required to provide additional information about you
or your Policy to government regulators.

                               LEGAL PROCEEDINGS




   In the ordinary course of business, General American, similar to other life
insurance companies, is involved in lawsuits (including class action lawsuits),
arbitrations and other legal proceedings. Also, from time to time, state and
federal regulators or other officials conduct formal and informal examinations
or undertake other actions dealing with various aspects of the financial
services and insurance industries. In some legal proceedings involving
insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement
payments have been made. It is not possible to predict with certainty the
ultimate outcome of any pending legal proceeding or regulatory action. However,
General American does not believe any such action or proceeding 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 General American to meet its obligations under the
Contracts.

invested in the Acquired Portfolios will be transferred to the Acquiring

(under a dollar cost averaging or portfolio re-balancing program) to the
Acquired Portfolios, these allocations will automatically be re-directed to the

Transactions and Inquiries

   You may request an account transfer or reallocation of future premiums by
written request (which may be telecopied) to our Administrative Office, by
telephoning us, or over the Internet. To request a transfer or reallocation by
telephone, you should contact your registered representative, or contact us at
(800) 638-9294. To request a transfer or reallocation over the Internet, you
may log on to our website at www.genamerica.com. We use reasonable procedures
to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone, facsimile or Internet
are genuine. Any telephone, facsimile or Internet instructions that we
reasonably believe to be genuine will be your responsibility, including losses
arising from any errors in the communication of instructions. However, because
telephone and Internet transactions may be available to anyone who provides
certain information about you and your Policy, 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, facsimile, and computer systems (including the Internet) may not
always be available. Any telephone, facsimile, or computer system, whether it
is yours, your service provider's, your registered representative's, or ours,
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 by writing to our Administrative Office.

   If you send premium payments or transaction requests to an address other
than the one we have designated for receipt of such payments or requests, we
may return the premium payment to you, or there may be a delay in applying the
payment or transaction to your Policy.

   THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT. The separate account consists of divisions, each of
which corresponds to an underlying Fund. Each division may either make money or
lose money. Therefore if you invest in a division of the separate account, you
may either make money or lose money, depending on the investment experience of
that division. There is no guaranteed rate of return in the separate account.

   The following chart shows the Funds that are available under the policy
along with the name of the investment adviser, sub-adviser (where applicable)

goals and strategies. You should review the prospectus of each Fund, or seek
professional guidance in determining which Fund(s) best meet your objectives.

CERTAIN PAYMENTS WE RECEIVE WITH REGARD TO THE FUNDS

   An investment adviser (other than our affiliate, MetLife Advisers, LLC and
Met Investors Advisory LLC) or sub-adviser or its affiliates may make payments
to us and/or certain affiliates. These payments may be used for a variety of
purposes, including payment for expenses for certain administrative, marketing
and support services with respect to the Policies and, in our role as
intermediary, with respect to the Funds. We and our affiliates may profit from
these payments. These payments may be derived, in whole or in part, from the
advisory fee deducted from Portfolio assets. Policy owners, through their
indirect investment in the Portfolios, bear the costs of these advisory fees
(see the Fund prospectuses for more information). The amount of the payments we
receive is based on a percentage of assets of the Fund attributable to the
Policies and certain other variable insurance products that we and our
affiliates issue. These percentages differ and some advisers or sub-advisers
(or other affiliates) may pay us more than others. These percentages currently
range up to 0.50%. Additionally, an investment adviser or sub-adviser of a Fund
or its affiliates may provide us with wholesaling services that assist in the
distribution of the Policies 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 sub-adviser (or other affiliate) with increased access
to persons involved in the distribution of the Policies.

   We and certain of our affiliated insurance companies have joint ownership
interests in our affiliated investment advisers, MetLife Advisers, LLC and Met
Investors Advisory LLC, which are organized as limited liability companies.

Our owner interests in MetLife Advisers, LLC and Met Investors Advisory LLC
entitle us to profit distributions if the adviser makes a profit with respect
to the management fees it receives from a Fund. We will benefit accordingly
from assets allocated to the Funds to the extent they result in profits to the
advisers. (See "Charges and Deductions -- Annual Fund Operating Expenses" for
information on the management fees paid to the advisers and the Statement of
Additional Information for the Funds for information on the management fees
paid by the adviser to sub-advisers.)

   The American Funds Global Small Capitalization Fund, the American Funds
Growth Fund and the American Funds Growth-Income Fund have adopted a
Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. A
Fund's 12b-1 Plan, if any, is described in more detail in each Fund's
prospectus. (See also "Charges and Deductions -- Annual Fund Operating
Expenses.") Any payments we receive pursuant to a Fund's 12b-1 Plan are paid to
us or our Distributor. Payments under a Fund's 12b-1 Plan decrease the Fund's
investment return.

   We pay American Funds Distributors, Inc., principal underwriter for the
American Funds Insurance Series, a percentage of all premiums 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 Policies.

SELECTION OF THE FUNDS

   We select the Funds offered through the Policy 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 payments 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 portfolios advised by our
affiliates than those that are not, we may be more inclined to offer portfolios
advised by our affiliates in the variable insurance products we issue. We
review the Funds periodically and may remove a Fund or limit its availability
to new premium payments and/or transfers of cash 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 Policy Owners.

   WE DO NOT PROVIDE INVESTMENT ADVICE AND DO NOT RECOMMEND OR ENDORSE ANY
PARTICULAR FUND. YOU BEAR THE RISK OF ANY DECLINE IN THE CASH VALUE OF YOUR
POLICY RESULTING FROM THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS YOU HAVE CHOSEN.




                                 POLICY RIGHTS
TRANSFERS

   Frequent requests from Policy Owners to transfer cash value 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 Fund's share price ("arbitrage trading"). Regardless of the existence of
pricing inefficiencies, frequent transfers may also 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
("disruptive trading"). Accordingly, arbitrage trading and disruptive trading
activities (referred to collectively as "market timing") may adversely affect
the long-term performance of the Funds, which may in turn adversely affect
Policy Owners and other persons who may have an interest in the Policies (e.g.,
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., the BlackRock Strategic
Value Portfolio, Julius Baer International Stock Portfolio, Morgan Stanley EAFE
Index Portfolio, Russell 2000 Index Portfolio, T. Rowe Price Small Cap Growth
Portfolio, Harris Oakmark International Portfolio, Lord Abbett Bond Debenture
Portfolio, Met/AIM Small Cap Growth Portfolio, MFS Research International
Portfolio, Clarion Global Real Estate Portfolio, American Funds Global Small
Capitalization Fund, JPMorgan Small Company Portfolio, Russell Aggressive Equity
Fund, Russell Non-U.S. Fund, Van Eck Worldwide Emerging Markets Fund and Van Eck
Worldwide Hard Assets Fund) and we monitor transfer activity in those Funds (the
"Monitored Portfolios"). In addition, as described below, we intend to 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 Monitored 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 Cash Value; and
(3) two or more "round-trips" involving any Monitored Portfolio 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. In addition to monitoring transfer activity in certain
Funds, we rely on the underlying Funds to bring any potential disruptive
trading activity they identify to our attention for investigation on a
case-by-case basis. We will also investigate any other harmful transfer
activity that we identify from time to time. We may revise these policies and
procedures in our sole discretion at any time without prior notice.

   AMERICAN FUNDS MONITORING POLICY. As a condition to making their portfolios
available in our products, American Funds requires us to treat all American
Funds portfolios as Monitored Portfolios under our current market timing and
excessive trading policies and procedures. Further, American Funds requires us
to impose additional specified monitoring criteria for all American Funds
portfolios available under the Policy, 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 original signature. Further, as Monitored Portfolios, all
American Funds portfolios also will be subject to our current market timing and
excessive trading 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 market timing. Currently, when we detect transfer activity in
the Monitored Portfolios that exceeds our current transfer limits, or other
transfer activity that we believe may be harmful to other Policy Owners or
other persons who have an interest in the Policies, we require all future
transfer requests to or from any Monitored Portfolios or other identified
Portfolios under that Policy to be submitted either (i) in writing with an
original signature or (ii) by telephone prior to 10:00 a.m.

   Transfers made under the dollar cost averaging program or the portfolio
rebalancing program are not treated as transfers when we evaluate trading
patterns for market timing.

   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 Policy Owners to avoid
such detection. Our ability to restrict such transfer activity may also be
limited by provisions of the Policy. Accordingly, there is no assurance that we
will prevent all transfer activity that may adversely affect Policy Owners and
other persons with interests in the Policies. We do not accommodate market
timing in any Funds and there are no arrangements in place to permit any Policy
Owner to engage in market timing; 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 purchases and redemptions of 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 trading
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 Policy Owners, and to execute
instructions from the Fund to restrict or prohibit further purchases or
transfers by specific Policy Owners who violate the frequent trading policies
established by the Fund.

   In addition, Policy Owners and other persons with interests in the Policies
should be aware that the purchase and redemption orders received by the Funds
are generally "omnibus" orders from intermediaries such as retirement plans or
separate accounts funding variable insurance contracts. The omnibus orders
reflect the aggregation and netting of multiple orders from individual owners
of variable insurance policies and/or individual retirement plan participants.
The omnibus nature of these orders may limit the Funds in their ability to
apply their frequent trading 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 Policy Owners) will not be harmed by transfer activity relating to
the 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 Contract Owners engaged in disruptive trading activity, 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 market timing activities (even if an entire
omnibus order is rejected due to the market timing activity of a single Policy
Owner). You should read the Fund prospectuses for more details.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT CHARGES

   We will waive the following amount of the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge:
the amount, if any, equal to the underlying fund expenses that are in excess of
0.68% for the Division investing in the Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation
Portfolio, and that are in excess of 0.88% for the Division investing in the
MFS Research International Portfolio.

                              FEDERAL TAX MATTERS

INTRODUCTION

   The following summary provides a general description of the Federal income
tax considerations associated with the Policy and does not purport to be
complete or to cover all situations. This discussion is not intended as tax
advice. Counsel or other competent tax advisers should be consulted for more
complete information. This discussion is based upon General American's
understanding of the present Federal income tax laws as they are currently
interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service. No representation is made as to
the likelihood of continuation of the present Federal income tax laws or of the
current interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service.

   IRS CIRCULAR 230 NOTICE: The tax information contained herein is not
intended to (and cannot) be used by anyone to avoid IRS penalties. It is
intended to support the sale of the Policy. The Policy Owner should seek tax
advice based on the Policy Owner's particular circumstances from an independent
tax adviser.

TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY

   In order to qualify as a life insurance contract for Federal income tax
purposes and to receive the tax treatment normally accorded life insurance
contracts under Federal tax law, a Policy must satisfy certain requirements
which are set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. Guidance as to how these
requirements are to be applied is limited, in particular, with respect to joint
and last survivor life insurance policies. Nevertheless, we believe that the




Policies should satisfy the applicable requirements. However, the rules are not
entirely clear with respect to Policies issued on a substandard or guaranteed
issue basis. We may take appropriate steps to bring the Policy into compliance
with applicable requirements, and we reserve the right to restrict Policy
transactions in order to do so. The insurance proceeds payable on the death of
the insured will never be less than the minimum amount required for the Policy
to be treated as life insurance under section 7702 of the Internal Revenue
Code, as in effect on the date the Policy was issued.

   In some circumstances, owners of variable contracts who retain excessive
control over the investment of the underlying separate account assets may be
treated as the owners of those assets. Although published guidance in this area
does not address certain aspects of the Policies, we believe that the Owner of
a Policy should not be treated as the owner of the Separate Account assets. We
reserve the right to modify the Policies to bring them into conformity with
applicable standards should such modification be necessary to prevent Owners of
the Policies from being treated as the owners of the underlying Separate
Account assets.

   In addition, the Code requires that the investments of the Separate Account
be "adequately diversified" in order for the Policies to be treated as life
insurance contracts for Federal income tax purposes. It is intended that the
Separate Account, through the Eligible Funds, will satisfy these
diversification requirements. If Eligible Fund shares are sold directly to
either non-qualified plans or to tax-qualified retirement plans that later lose
their tax qualified status, the variable account investing in the Eligible Fund
may fail the diversification requirements of Section 817(h) of the Internal
Revenue Code. This could have adverse tax consequences for variable life
insurance owners, including losing the benefit of tax deferral.

   The following discussion assumes that the Policy will qualify as a life
insurance contract for Federal income tax purposes.

   1. TAX TREATMENT OF POLICY BENEFITS. In general, the Company believes that
the proceeds and Cash Value increases of a Policy should be treated in a manner
consistent with a fixed-benefit life insurance policy for Federal income tax
purposes. Thus, the death benefit under the Policy should be excludable from
the gross income of the Beneficiary to the extent provided in under Section 101
of the Code. In the case of employer-owned life insurance as defined in
Section 101(j), the amount of the death benefit excludable from gross income is
limited to premiums paid unless the Policy falls within certain specified
exceptions and a notice and consent requirement is satisfied before the Policy
is issued. Certain specified exceptions are based on the status of an employee
as highly compensated or recently employed. There are also exceptions for
Policy proceeds paid to an employee's heirs. These exceptions only apply if
proper notice is given to the insured employee and consent is received from the
insured employee before the issuance of the Policy. These rules apply to
Policies issued August 18, 2006 and later and also apply to policies issued
before August 18, 2006 after a material increase in the death benefit or other
material change. An IRS reporting requirement applies to employer-owned life
insurance subject to these rules. Because these rules are complex and will
affect the tax treatment of death benefits, it is advisable to consult tax
counsel. The death benefit will also be taxable in the case of a
transfer-for-value unless certain exceptions apply.

   Many changes or transactions involving a Policy may have tax consequences,
depending on the circumstances. Such changes include, but are not limited to,
the exchange of the Policy, a change of the Policy's Face Amount, a Policy
Loan, an additional premium payment, a Policy lapse with an outstanding Policy
Loan, a partial withdrawal, or a surrender of the Policy. The transfer of the
Policy or designation of a Beneficiary may have Federal, state, and/or local
transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of gift,
estate, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. For example, the transfer of
the Policy to, or the designation as a Beneficiary of, or the payment of
proceeds to, a person who is assigned to a generation which is two or more
generations below the generation assignment of the Owner may have generation
skipping transfer tax consequences under Federal tax law. The individual
situation of each Owner or Beneficiary will determine the extent, if any, to
which Federal, state, and local transfer and inheritance taxes may be imposed
and how ownership or receipt of Policy proceeds will be treated for purposes of
Federal, state and local estate, inheritance, generation skipping and other
taxes.

   A Policy may also be used in various arrangements, including non-qualified
deferred compensation or salary continuation plans, split dollar insurance
plans, executive bonus plans, retiree medical benefit plans and others. The tax
consequences of such plans may vary depending on the particular facts and
circumstances of each individual arrangement. Therefore, if you are
contemplating the use of a Policy in any arrangement the value of which depends
in part on its tax consequences, you should be sure to consult a qualified tax
adviser regarding the tax attributes of the particular arrangement.

   Generally, the Owner will not be deemed to be in constructive receipt of the
Policy's Cash Value, including increments thereof, under the Policy until there
is a distribution. Under a complete surrender or lapse of any Policy, if




the amount received plus the amount of outstanding Indebtedness exceeds the
total investments in the Policy, the excess will generally be treated as
ordinary income subject to tax. The tax consequences of other distributions
from, and Policy Loans taken from or secured by, a Policy depend upon whether
the Policy is classified as a "modified endowment contract".

   2. MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS. A policy may be treated as a modified
endowment contract depending upon the amount of premiums paid in relation to
the death benefit provided under such Policy. The premium limitation rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are extremely
complex. In general, however, a Policy will be a modified endowment contract if
the accumulated premiums paid at any time during the first seven Policy Years
exceed the sum of the net level premiums which would have been paid on or
before such time if the Policy provided for paid-up future benefits after the
payment of seven level annual premiums.

   In addition, if a Policy is "materially changed" it may cause such Policy to
be treated as a modified endowment contract. The material change rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are also
extremely complex. In general, however, the determination of whether a Policy
will be a modified endowment contract after a material change generally depends
upon the relationship among the death benefit at the time of such change, the
Cash Value at the time of the change and the additional premiums paid in the
seven Policy Years starting with the date on which the material change occurs.

   Moreover, a life insurance contract received in exchange for a life
insurance contract classified as a modified endowment contract will also be
treated as a modified endowment contract. A reduction in a Policy's benefits
may also cause such Policy to become a modified endowment contract.

   Accordingly, a prospective Owner should contact a competent tax adviser
before purchasing a Policy to determine the circumstances under which the
Policy would be a modified endowment contract. In addition, an Owner should
contact a competent tax adviser before paying any additional premiums or making
any other change to, including an exchange of, a Policy to determine whether
such premium or change would cause the Policy (or the new Policy in the case of
an exchange) to be treated as a modified endowment contract.

NOTE: MOST DESTINY POLICIES WERE MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTACTS FROM THE DATE OF
ISSUE, THEREFORE, DISTRIBUTIONS FROM MOST DESTINY POLICIES ARE TAXED AS FOLLOWS:

   3. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT.
Policies classified as modified endowment contracts will be subject to the
following tax rules: First, all distributions, including distributions upon
surrender, from such a Policy are treated as ordinary income subject to tax up
to the amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Cash Value immediately before
the distribution over the investment in the Policy (described below) at such
time. Second, Policy Loans taken from, or secured by, such a Policy, as well as
due but unpaid interest thereon, are treated as distributions from such a
Policy and taxed accordingly. Third, a 10 percent additional income tax is
imposed on the portion of any distribution from, or Policy Loan taken from or
secured by, such a Policy that is included in income, except where the
distribution or Policy Loan (a) is made on or after the Owner attains age 59
1/2, (b) is attributable to the Owner's becoming disabled, or (c) is part of a
series of substantially equal periodic payments for the life (or life
expectancy) of the Owner or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the
Owner and the Owner's Beneficiary.

   4. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES NOT CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT
CONTRACT. Distributions from Policies not classified as a modified endowment
contracts are generally treated as first recovering the investment in the
Policy (described below) and then, only after the return of all such investment
in the Policy, as distributing taxable income. An exception to this general
rule occurs in the case of a decrease in the Policy's death benefit (possibly
including a partial withdrawal) or any other change that reduces benefits under
the Policy in the first 15 years after the Policy is issued and that results in
cash distribution to the Owner in order for the Policy to continue complying
with the Section 7702 definitional limits. Such a cash distribution will be
taxed in whole or in part as ordinary income (to the extent of any gain in the
Policy) under rules prescribed in Section 7702.

   Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment
contract should generally not be treated as distributions. Instead, such loans
should generally be treated as indebtedness of the Owner. However, because the
tax consequences associated with Policy Loans are not always clear, in
particular, with respect to Policy Loans outstanding after the tenth Policy
year, you should consult a tax adviser prior to taking any Policy Loan.

   Upon a complete surrender or lapse of a Policy that is not a modified
endowment contract, if the amount received plus the amount of indebtedness
exceeds the total investment in the Policy, the excess will generally be
treated as ordinary income subject to tax.

   Neither distributions (including distributions upon surrender or lapse) nor
Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment
contract are subject to the 10 percent additional income tax.

   If a Policy which is not a modified endowment contract subsequently becomes
a modified endowment contract, then any distribution made from the Policy within




two years prior to the date of such change in status may become taxable.
   5. POLICY LOANS. Generally, interest paid on any loan under a life insurance
Policy is not deductible. AN OWNER SHOULD CONSULT A COMPETENT TAX ADVISER IF
THE DEDUCTIBILITY OF LOAN INTEREST IS A CONSIDERATION IN THE PURCHASE OF A
POLICY. If a Policy Loan is outstanding when a Policy is canceled or lapses,
the amount of the outstanding Indebtedness will be added to the amount
distributed and will be taxed accordingly.

   6. INTEREST EXPENSE ON UNRELATED INDEBTEDNESS. Under provisions added to the
Code in 1997 for policies issued after June 8, 1997, if a business taxpayer
owns or is the beneficiary of a Policy on the life of any individual who is not
an officer, director, employee, or 20 percent owner of the business, and the
taxpayer also has debt unrelated to the Policy, a portion of the taxpayer's
unrelated interest expense deductions may be lost. No business taxpayer should
purchase, exchange, or increase the death benefit under a Policy on the life of
any individual who is not an officer, director, employee, or 20 percent owner
of the business without first consulting a competent tax adviser.

   7. INVESTMENT IN THE POLICY. Investment in the Policy means (i) the
aggregate amount of any premiums or other consideration paid for a Policy,
minus (ii) the aggregate amount received under the Policy which is excluded
from gross income of the Owner (except that the amount of any Policy Loan from,
or secured by, a Policy that is a modified endowment contract, to the extent
such amount is excluded from gross income, will be disregarded), plus (iii) the
amount of any Policy Loan from, or secured by, a Policy that is a modified
endowment contract to the extent that such amount is included in the gross
income of the Owner.

   8. MULTIPLE POLICES. All modified endowment contracts that are issued by the
Company (or its affiliates) to the same Owner during any calendar year are
treated as one modified endowment contract for purposes of determining the
amount includible in gross income under Section 72(e) of the Code.

   9. LIFE INSURANCE PURCHASES BY NONRESIDENT ALIENS AND FOREIGN CORPORATIONS.
Policy Owners that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally be subject
to U.S. Federal withholding tax on taxable distributions from life insurance
policies at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, Policy
Owners may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes that may be
imposed by the Policy Owner's country of citizenship or residence.

   10. WITHHOLDING. To the extent that Policy distributions are taxable, they
are generally subject to withholding for the recipient's Federal income tax
liability. Recipients can generally elect, however, not to have tax withheld
from distributions.

   11. ESTATE, GIFT AND GENERATION-SKIPPING TRANSFER TAXES. The transfer of the
Policy or the designation of a beneficiary may have Federal, state, and/or
local transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of
gift, estate, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. When the insured dies,
the death proceeds will generally be includable in the Policy Owner's estate
for purposes of the Federal estate tax if the Policy Owner was the insured. If
the Policy Owner was not the insured, the fair market value of the Policy would
be included in the Policy Owner's estate upon the Policy Owner's death. The
Policy would not be includable in the insured's estate if the insured neither
retained incidents of ownership at death nor had given up ownership within
three years before death.

   Moreover, under certain circumstances, the Internal Revenue Code may impose
a "generation-skipping transfer tax" when all or part of a life insurance
policy is transferred to, or a death benefit is paid to, an individual two or
more generations younger than the Policy Owner. Regulations issued under the
Internal Revenue Code may require us to deduct the tax from your Policy, or
from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the IRS.

   Qualified tax advisers should be consulted concerning the estate and gift tax
consequences of Policy ownership and distributions under Federal, state and
local law. The individual situation of each Policy Owner or beneficiary will
determine the extent, if any, to which Federal, state, and local transfer and
inheritance taxes may be imposed and how ownership or receipt of Policy proceeds
will be treated for purposes of Federal, state and local estate, inheritance,
generation-skipping and other taxes.

   The Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 ("EGTRRA")
repeals the Federal estate tax and replaces it with a carryover basis income
tax regime effective for estates of decedents dying after December 31, 2009.
EGTRRA also repeals the generation-skipping transfer tax, but not the gift tax,
for transfers made after December 31, 2009. EGTRRA contains a sunset provision,
which essentially returns the Federal estate, gift and generation-skipping
transfer taxes to their pre-EGTRRA form, beginning in 2011. Congress may or may
not enact permanent repeal between now and then.

   During the period prior to 2010, EGTRRA provides for periodic decreases in
the maximum estate tax rate coupled with periodic increases in the estate tax
exemption. The maximum estate tax rate for 2007-2009 is 45%. The estate tax
exemption is $2,000,000 for 2006-2008 and $3,500,000 in 2009.




   The complexity of the new tax law, along with uncertainty as to how it might
be modified in coming years, underscores the importance of seeking guidance
from a qualified adviser to help ensure that your estate plan adequately
addresses your needs and those of your beneficiaries under all possible
scenarios.

   12. CONTINUATION OF POLICY BEYOND ATTAINED AGE 100. The tax consequences of
continuing the Policy beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100 birthday are
unclear. You should consult a tax adviser if you intend to keep the Policy in
force beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100.

   13. Ownership of the Policy by a corporation, trust or other non-natural
person could jeopardize some (or all) of such entity's interest deduction under
Internal Revenue Code Section 264, even where such entity's indebtedness is in
no way connected to the Policy. In addition, under Section 264(f)(5), if a
business (other than a sole proprietorship) is directly or indirectly a
beneficiary of the Policy, the Policy could be treated as held by the business
for purposes of the Section 264(f) entity-holder rules. Therefore, it would be
advisable to consult with a qualified tax adviser before any non-natural person
is made an owner or holder of the Policy, or before a business (other than a
sole proprietorship) is made a beneficiary of the Policy.

   14. GUIDANCE ON SPLIT DOLLAR PLANS. The IRS has issued guidance on split
dollar insurance plans. A tax adviser should be consulted with respect to this
guidance if your Policy is, or may become, subject to a split dollar insurance
plan. If your Policy is part of an equity split dollar arrangement taxed under
the economic benefit regime, there is a risk that some portion of the Policy
cash value may be taxed prior to any Policy distribution.

   In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act") which was signed
into law on July 30, 2002, prohibits, with exceptions, publicly-traded
companies, including non-U.S. companies that have securities listed on U.S.
exchanges, from extending, directly or indirectly or through a subsidiary, many
types of personal loans to their directors or executive officers. It is
possible that this prohibition may be interpreted to apply to split-dollar life
insurance arrangements for directors and executive officers of such companies,
since such arrangements can arguably be viewed as involving a loan from the
employer for at least some purposes.

   Any affected business contemplating the payment of a premium on an existing
Policy or the purchase of new Policy in connection with a split-dollar life
insurance arrangement should consult legal counsel.

   Split dollar insurance plans that provide deferred compensation may be
subject to recently enacted rules governing deferred compensation arrangements.
Failure to adhere to these rules will result in adverse tax consequences. A tax
adviser should be consulted with respect to such plans.

   15. ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX. There may also be an indirect tax upon the
income in the Policy or the proceeds of a Policy under the Federal corporate
alternative minimum tax, if the Owner is subject to that tax.

   16. PUERTO RICO. We believe that Policies subject to Puerto Rican tax law
will generally receive treatment similar, with certain modifications, to that
described above. Among other differences, Policies governed by Puerto Rican tax
law are not currently subject to the rules described above regarding Modified
Endowment Contracts. You should consult your tax adviser with respect to Puerto
Rican tax law governing the Policies.

   17. POSSIBLE TAX LAW CHANGES. Although the likelihood of legislative changes
is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the
Policy could change by legislation or otherwise. Consult a tax adviser with
respect to legislative developments and their effect on the Policy.

   18. FOREIGN TAX CREDITS. To the extent permitted under Federal tax law, we
may claim the benefit of certain foreign tax credits attributable to taxes paid
by certain Eligible Funds to foreign jurisdictions.

   19. POSSIBLE CHARGE FOR TAXES. At the present time, the Company makes no
charge to the Separate Account for any Federal, state, or local taxes (as
opposed to Premium Tax Charges which are deducted from premium payments) that
it incurs which may be attributable to such Separate Account or to the
Policies. The Company, however, reserves the right in the future to make a
charge for any such tax or other economic burden resulting from the application
of the tax laws that it determines to be properly attributable to the Separate
Account or to the Policies.

                                 VOTING RIGHTS

   Based on its understanding of current applicable legal requirements, the
Company will vote the shares of the Funds held in the Separate Account at
regular and special shareholder meetings of the mutual funds in accordance with
the instructions received from persons having voting interests in the
corresponding Divisions of the Separate Account. If, however, the 1940 Act or
any regulation thereunder should be amended or if the present interpretation
thereof should change, and as a result the Company determines that it is
permitted to vote shares of the Fund in its own right, it may elect to do so.
No voting privileges apply to the Policies with respect to Cash Value removed
from the Separate Account as a result of a Policy Loan.

   The number of votes which an Owner has the right to instruct will be
calculated separately for each Division. Voting rights reflect the dollar value
of the total number of units of each Division of the Separate Account credited
to the Owner at the record date, rather than the number of units alone.
Fractional shares will be counted. The number of votes of the Fund which the
Owner has the right to instruct will be determined as of the date coincident
with the date established by that Fund for determining shareholders eligible.
Voting instructions will be solicited by written communications prior to such
meeting in accordance with procedures established by the mutual funds.

   The company will vote shares of a Fund for which no timely instructions are
received in proportion to the voting instructions which are received with
respect to that Fund. The Company will also vote any shares of the Funds which
are not attributable to Policies in the same proportion. The effect of this
proportional voting is that a smaller number of Policy Owners may control the
outcome of a vote.

   Each person having a voting interest in a Division will receive any proxy
material, reports, and other materials relating to the appropriate Fund.




   DISREGARD OF VOTING INSTRUCTIONS. The Company may, when required by state
insurance regulatory authorities, disregard voting instructions if the
instructions require that the shares be voted so as to cause a change in the
subclassification or investment objective of the Fund or to approve or
disapprove an investment Advisory contract for a Fund. In addition, the Company
itself may disregard voting instructions in favor of changes initiated by an
Owner in the investment policy or the investment adviser or sub-adviser of a
Fund if the Company reasonably disapproves of such changes. A proposed change
would be disapproved only if the proposed change is contrary to state law or
prohibited by state regulatory authorities, or the Company determined that the
change would have an adverse effect on its General Account in that the proposed
investment policy for a Fund may result in overly speculative or unsound
investments. If the Company disregards voting instructions, a summary of that
action and the reasons for such action will be included in the next annual
report to Owners.

                    RESTRICTIONS ON FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS

   Applicable laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering
might, in certain circumstances, require us to reject a premium payment and/or
block or "freeze" your Policy. If these laws apply in a particular situation,
we would not be allowed to process any request for withdrawals, surrenders,
loans or death benefits, make transfers or continue making payments under your
death benefit option until instructions are received from the appropriate
regulator. We also may be required to provide additional information about you
or your Policy to government regulators.

                               LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

   In the ordinary course of business, General American, similar to other life
insurance companies, is involved in lawsuits (including class action lawsuits),
arbitrations and other legal proceedings. Also, from time to time, state and
federal regulators or other officials conduct formal and informal examinations
or undertake other actions dealing with various aspects of the financial
services and insurance industries. In some legal proceedings involving
insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement
payments have been made. In addition, in May 2004, General American received a
Wells Notice stating that the SEC staff was considering recommending that the
SEC bring a civil action alleging violations of the U.S. securities laws
against General American with respect to market timing and late trading in a
limited number of privately-placed variable insurance contracts that were sold
through General American. General American responded to the SEC staff and
cooperated with the investigation. On August 9, 2007, the SEC announced that it
had settled an enforcement action regarding late trading against General
American with, among other things, General American agreeing to pay a civil
penalty and to comply with certain undertakings. General American consented to
the SEC's order without admitting or denying the findings. It is not possible
to predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of any pending legal proceeding
or regulatory action. However, General American does not believe any such
action or proceeding 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 General American to meet
its obligations under the Contracts.

               SUPPLEMENT TO THE PROSPECTUS DATED APRIL 30, 2007

                               DECEMBER 27, 2007

General American Life Insurance Company (the "Company") has filed an
application with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") requesting an
order to allow the Company to remove certain variable investment options
("Existing Funds") and substitute new options ("Replacement Funds") as shown
below. The Replacement Funds are portfolios of the Met Investors Series Trust.
To the extent that a Replacement Fund is not currently available as an
investment option under your Policy, such Replacement Fund will be added as an
investment option on or before the date of the substitution. Please retain this
supplement and keep it with the prospectus.

To the extent required by law, approval of the proposed substitution is being
obtained from the state insurance regulators in certain jurisdictions.

The Company believes that the proposed substitutions are in the best interest
of Policy owners. In each case, the Replacement Fund will have at least similar
investment objectives and policies as the Existing Fund. The Company will bear
all expenses related to the substitutions, and they will have no tax
consequences for you. The Company anticipates that, if such order is granted,
the proposed substitutions will occur on or about April 28, 2008.

The proposed substitutions and respective advisers and/or sub-advisers for the
above-listed Policies are:

Please note that:

    .  No action is required on your part at this time. You will not need to
       file a new election or take any immediate action if the SEC approves the
       substitution.

    .  The elections you have on file for allocating your cash value, premium
       payments and deductions will be redirected to the Replacement Fund
       unless you change your elections and transfer your funds before the
       substitution takes place.

    .  You may transfer amounts in your Policy among the variable investment
       options and the fixed option as usual. The substitution itself will not
       be treated as a transfer for purposes of the transfer provisions of your
       Policy, subject to the Company's restrictions on transfers to prevent or
       limit "market timing" activities by Policy owners or agents of Policy
       owners.

    .  If you make one transfer from one of the above Existing Funds into one
       or more other subaccounts before the substitution, or from the
       Replacement Fund after the substitution, any transfer charge that might
       otherwise be imposed will be waived from the date of this Notice through
       the date that is 30 days after the substitution.

    .  On the effective date of the substitution, your cash value in the
       variable investment option will be the same as before the substitution.
       However, the number of units you receive in the Replacement Fund will be
       different from the number of units in your Existing Fund, due to the
       difference in unit values.

    .  There will be no tax consequences to you.

In connection with the substitutions, we will send you a prospectus for Met
Investors Series Trust, as well as notice of the actual date of the
substitutions and confirmation of transfers.

Please contact your registered representative if you have any questions.

Transactions and Inquiries

   You may request an account transfer or reallocation of future premiums by
written request (which may be telecopied) to our Administrative Office, by
telephoning us, or over the Internet. To request a transfer or reallocation by
telephone, you should contact your registered representative, or contact us at
(800) 638-9294. To request a transfer or reallocation over the Internet, you
may log on to our website at www.genamerica.com. We use reasonable procedures
to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone, facsimile or Internet
are genuine. Any telephone, facsimile or Internet instructions that we
reasonably believe to be genuine will be your responsibility, including losses
arising from any errors in the communication of instructions. However, because
telephone and Internet transactions may be available to anyone who provides
certain information about you and your Policy, 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, facsimile, and computer systems (including the Internet) may not
always be available. Any telephone, facsimile, or computer system, whether it
is yours, your service provider's, your registered representative's, or ours,
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 by writing to our Administrative Office.

   THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT. The separate account consists of divisions, each of
which corresponds to an underlying Fund. Each division may either make money or
lose money. Therefore if you invest in a division of the separate account, you
may either make money or lose money, depending on the investment experience of
that division. There is no guaranteed rate of return in the separate account.

   The following chart shows the Funds that are available under the policy
along with the name of the investment adviser, sub-adviser (where applicable)
and investment objective of each Fund. The Funds have different investment
goals and strategies. You should review the prospectus of each Fund, or seek
professional guidance in determining which Fund(s) best meet your objectives.

(14) Other Expenses include 0.02% of "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses," which
     are fees and expenses attributable to underlying portfolios in which the
     Portfolio invested during the preceding fiscal year.

(15) The Fund's Manager has contractually agreed to waive, at least until April
     30, 2008, a portion of its management fee, up to the full amount of that
     fee, and to then reimburse the Fund for all remaining expenses, after fee
     waivers, in order to prevent total operating expenses, excluding "Acquired
     Fund Fees and Expenses," from exceeding 1.05% of the Fund's average daily
     net assets on an annual basis.

(16) The Fund's Manager has contractually agreed to waive, at least until April
     30, 2008, a portion of its management fee, up to the full amount of that
     fee, and to then reimburse the Fund for all remaining expenses, after fee
     waivers, in order to prevent total operating expenses, excluding "Acquired
     Fund Fees and Expenses," from exceeding 0.70% of the Fund's average daily
     net assets on an annual basis.

(17) The Fund's Manager has contractually agreed to waive, at least until April

     waivers, in order to prevent total operating expenses, excluding "Acquired
     Fund Fees and Expenses," from exceeding 0.87% of the Fund's average daily
     net assets on an annual basis.

CERTAIN PAYMENTS WE RECEIVE WITH REGARD TO THE FUNDS

   An investment adviser (other than our affiliate, MetLife Advisers, LLC and
Met Investors Advisory LLC) or sub-adviser or its affiliates may make payments
to us and/or certain affiliates. These payments may be used for a variety of
purposes, including payment for expenses for certain administrative, marketing
and support services with respect to the Policies and, in our role as
intermediary, with respect to the Funds. We and our affiliates may profit from
these payments. These payments may be derived, in whole or in part, from the
advisory fee deducted from Portfolio assets. Policy owners, through their
indirect investment in the Portfolios, bear the costs of these advisory fees
(see the Fund prospectuses for more information). The amount of the payments we
receive is based on a percentage of assets of the Fund attributable to the
Policies and certain other variable insurance products that we and our
affiliates issue. These percentages differ and some advisers or sub-advisers
(or other affiliates) may pay us more than others. These percentages currently
range up to 0.50%. Additionally, an investment adviser or sub-adviser of a Fund
or its affiliates may provide us with wholesaling services that assist in the
distribution of the Policies 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 sub-adviser (or other affiliate) with increased access
to persons involved in the distribution of the Policies.

   We and certain of our affiliated insurance companies have joint ownership
interests in our affiliated investment advisers, MetLife Advisers, LLC and Met
Investors Advisory LLC, which are organized as limited liability companies. Our
owner interests in MetLife Advisers, LLC and Met Investors Advisory LLC entitle
us to profit distributions if the adviser makes a profit with respect to the
management fees it receives from a Fund. We will benefit accordingly from
assets allocated to the Funds to the extent they result in profits to the
advisers. (See "Charges and Deductions -- Annual Fund Operating Expenses" for
information on the management fees paid to the advisers and the Statement of
Additional Information for the Funds for information on the management fees
paid by the adviser to sub-advisers.)

   The American Funds Global Small Capitalization Fund, the American Funds
Growth Fund and the American Funds Growth-Income Fund have adopted a
Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. A
Fund's 12b-1 Plan, if any, is described in more detail in each Fund's
prospectus. (See also "Charges and Deductions -- Annual Fund Operating
Expenses.") Any payments we receive pursuant to a Fund's 12b-1 Plan are paid to
us or our Distributor. Payments under a Fund's 12b-1 Plan decrease the Fund's
investment return.




   We pay American Funds Distributors, Inc., principal underwriter for the
American Funds Insurance Series, a percentage of all premiums 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 Policies.

SELECTION OF THE FUNDS

   We select the Funds offered through the Policy based on several 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 payments 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 portfolios advised by our affiliates than those
that are not, we may be more inclined to offer portfolios advised by our
affiliates in the variable insurance products we issue. We review the Funds
periodically and may remove a Fund or limit its availability to new premium
payments and/or transfers of cash 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 Policy Owners.

   WE DO NOT PROVIDE INVESTMENT ADVICE AND DO NOT RECOMMEND OR ENDORSE ANY
PARTICULAR FUND. YOU BEAR THE RISK OF ANY DECLINE IN THE CASH VALUE OF YOUR
POLICY RESULTING FROM THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS YOU HAVE CHOSEN.

                                 POLICY RIGHTS

TRANSFERS

   Frequent requests from Policy Owners to transfer cash value 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 Fund's share price ("arbitrage trading"). Regardless of the existence of
pricing inefficiencies, frequent transfers may also 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
("disruptive trading"). Accordingly, arbitrage trading and disruptive trading
activities (referred to collectively as "market timing") may adversely affect
the long-term performance of the Funds, which may in turn adversely affect
Policy Owners and other persons who may have an interest in the Policies (e.g.,
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., the BlackRock Strategic
Value Portfolio, FI International Stock Portfolio, Morgan Stanley EAFE Index
Portfolio, Russell 2000 Index Portfolio, T. Rowe Price Small Cap Growth
Portfolio, Harris Oakmark International Portfolio, Lord Abbett Bond Debenture
Portfolio, Met/AIM Small Cap Growth Portfolio, Fidelity VIP Overseas Portfolio,
American Funds Global Small Capitalization Fund, JPMorgan Small Company Stock
Portfolio, Russell Aggressive Equity Fund, Russell Non-U.S. Fund, Van Eck
Worldwide Emerging Markets Fund and Van Eck Worldwide Hard Assets Fund) and we
monitor transfer activity in those Funds (the "Monitored Portfolios"). In
addition, as described below, we intend to 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
Monitored 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 Cash Value; and (3) two or more "round-trips"
involving any Monitored Portfolio 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. In addition to monitoring transfer activity in certain
Funds, we rely on the underlying Funds to bring any potential disruptive
trading activity they identify to our attention for investigation on a
case-by-case basis. We will also investigate any other harmful transfer
activity that we identify from time to time. We may revise these policies and
procedures in our sole discretion at any time without prior notice.

   AMERICAN FUNDS MONITORING POLICY. As a condition to making their portfolios
available in our products, American Funds requires us to treat all American
Funds portfolios as Monitored Portfolios under our current market timing and
excessive trading policies and procedures. Further, American Funds requires us
to impose additional specified monitoring criteria for all American Funds
portfolios available under the Policy, 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 original signature. Further, as Monitored Portfolios, all
American Funds portfolios also will be subject to our current market timing and
excessive trading policies, procedures and restrictions (described below), and
transfer restrictions may be imposed upon a violation of either monitoring
policy. Although we do not have the operational or systems capability at this
time to impose the American Funds monitoring policy and/or to treat all of the
American Funds portfolios as Monitored Portfolios under our policy, we intend
to do so in the future.

   Our policies and procedures may result in transfer restrictions being
applied to deter market timing. Currently, when we detect transfer activity in
the Monitored Portfolios that exceeds our current transfer limits, or other
transfer activity that we believe may be harmful to other Policy Owners or
other persons who have an interest in the Policies, we require all future
transfer requests to or from any Monitored Portfolios or other identified
Portfolios under that Policy to be submitted either (i) in writing with an
original signature or (ii) by telephone prior to 10:00 a.m.

   Transfers made under the dollar cost averaging program or the portfolio
rebalancing program are not treated as transfers when we evaluate trading
patterns for market timing.

   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 Policy Owners to avoid such
detection. Our ability to restrict such transfer activity may also be limited
by provisions of the Policy. Accordingly, there is no assurance that we will
prevent all transfer activity that may adversely affect Policy Owners and other
persons with interests in the Policies. We do not accommodate market timing in
any Funds and there are no arrangements in place to permit any Policy Owner to
engage in market timing; 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 purchases and redemptions of 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 trading
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 Policy Owners, and to execute
instructions from the Fund to restrict or prohibit further purchases or
transfers by specific Policy Owners who violate the frequent trading policies
established by the Fund.

   In addition, Policy Owners and other persons with interests in the Policies
should be aware that the purchase and redemption orders received by the Funds
are generally "omnibus" orders from intermediaries such as retirement plans or
separate accounts funding variable insurance contracts. The omnibus orders
reflect the aggregation and netting of multiple orders from individual owners
of variable insurance policies and/or individual retirement plan participants.
The omnibus nature of these orders may limit the Funds in their ability to
apply their frequent trading 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
Policy Owners) will not be harmed by transfer activity relating to the 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
Contract Owners engaged in disruptive trading activity, 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 market timing activities (even if an entire
omnibus order is rejected due to the market timing activity of a single Policy
Owner). You should read the Fund prospectuses for more details.

                                GENERAL MATTERS

POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENTS FROM THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT

   We may withhold payment of surrender, withdrawal or loan proceeds if any
portion of those proceeds would be derived from a Policy 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 Policy 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. Policy 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.

                              FEDERAL TAX MATTERS

INTRODUCTION

   The following summary provides a general description of the Federal income
tax considerations associated with the Policy and does not purport to be
complete or to cover all situations. This discussion is not intended as tax
advice. Counsel or other competent tax advisers should be consulted for more
complete information. This discussion is based upon General American's
understanding of the present Federal income tax laws as they are currently
interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service. No representation is made as to
the likelihood of continuation of the present Federal income tax laws or of the
current interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service.

   IRS CIRCULAR 230 NOTICE: The tax information contained herein is not
intended to (and cannot) be used by anyone to avoid IRS penalties. It is
intended to support the sale of the Policy. The Policy Owner should seek tax
advice based on the Policy Owner's particular circumstances from an independent
tax adviser.

TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY

   In order to qualify as a life insurance contract for Federal income tax
purposes and to receive the tax treatment normally accorded life insurance
contracts under Federal tax law, a Policy must satisfy certain requirements
which are set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. Guidance as to how these
requirements are to be applied is limited, in particular, with respect to joint
and last survivor life insurance policies. Nevertheless, we believe that the
Policies should satisfy the applicable requirements. There is less guidance,
however, with respect to Policies issued on a substandard or guaranteed issue
basis and Policies with term riders added, and it is not clear whether such
policies will in all cases satisfy the applicable requirements, particularly if
the owner pay the full amount of premiums under the Policy. We may take
appropriate steps to bring the Policy into compliance with applicable
requirements, and we reserve the right to restrict Policy transactions in order
to do so. The insurance proceeds payable on the death of the insured will never
be less than the minimum amount required for the Policy to be treated as life
insurance under section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code, as in effect on the
date the Policy was issued.

   In some circumstances, owners of variable contracts who retain excessive
control over the investment of the underlying separate account assets may be
treated as the owners of those assets. Although published guidance in this area
does not address certain aspects of the Policies, we believe that the Owner of
a Policy should not be treated as the owner of the Separate Account assets. We
reserve the right to modify the Policies to bring them into conformity with
applicable standards should such modification be necessary to prevent Owners of
the Policies from being treated as the owners of the underlying Separate
Account assets.

   In addition, the Code requires that the investments of the Separate Account
be "adequately diversified" in order for the Policies to be treated as life




insurance contracts for Federal income tax purposes. It is intended that the
Separate Account, through the Eligible Funds, will satisfy these
diversification requirements.

   The following discussion assumes that the Policy will qualify as a life
insurance contract for Federal income tax purposes.

   1. TAX TREATMENT OF POLICY BENEFITS. In general, the Company believes that
the proceeds and Cash Value increases of a Policy should be treated in a manner
consistent with a fixed-benefit life insurance policy for Federal income tax
purposes. Thus, the death benefit under the Policy should be excludable from
the gross income of the Beneficiary to the extent provided in under Section 101
of the Code. In the case of employer-owned life insurance as defined in
Section 101(j), the amount of the death benefit excludable from gross income is
limited to premiums paid unless the Policy falls within certain specified
exceptions and a notice and consent requirement is satisfied before the Policy
is issued. Certain specified exceptions are based on the status of an employee
as highly compensated or recently employed. There are also exceptions for
Policy proceeds paid to an employee's heirs. These exceptions only apply if
proper notice is given to the insured employee and consent is received from the
insured employee before the issuance of the Policy. These rules apply to
Policies issued August 18, 2006 and later and also apply to policies issued
before August 18, 2006 after a material increase in the death benefit or other
material change. An IRS reporting requirement applies to employer-owned life
insurance subject to these rules. Because these rules are complex and will
affect the tax treatment of death benefits, it is advisable to consult tax
counsel. The death benefit will also be taxable in the case of a
transfer-for-value unless certain exceptions apply.

   Many changes or transactions involving a Policy may have tax consequences,
depending on the circumstances. Such changes include, but are not limited to,
the exchange of the Policy, a change of the Policy's Face Amount, a Policy
Loan, an additional premium payment, a Policy lapse with an outstanding Policy
Loan, a partial withdrawal, or a surrender of the Policy. The transfer of the
Policy or designation of a Beneficiary may have Federal, state, and/or local
transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of gift,
estate, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. For example, the transfer of
the Policy to, or the designation as a Beneficiary of, or the payment of
proceeds to, a person who is assigned to a generation which is two or more
generations below the generation assignment of the Owner may have generation
skipping transfer tax consequences under Federal tax law. The individual
situation of each Owner or Beneficiary will determine the extent, if any, to
which Federal, state, and local transfer and inheritance taxes may be imposed
and how ownership or receipt of Policy proceeds will be treated for purposes of
Federal, state and local estate, inheritance, generation skipping and other
taxes.

   A Policy may also be used in various arrangements, including non-qualified
deferred compensation or salary continuation plans, split dollar insurance
plans, executive bonus plans, retiree medical benefit plans and others. The tax
consequences of such plans may vary depending on the particular facts and
circumstances of each individual arrangement. Therefore, if you are
contemplating the use of a Policy in any arrangement the value of which depends
in part on its tax consequences, you should be sure to consult a qualified tax
adviser regarding the tax attributes of the particular arrangement.

   Generally, the Owner will not be deemed to be in constructive receipt of the
Policy's Cash Value, including increments thereof, under the Policy until there
is a distribution. Under a complete surrender or lapse of any Policy, if the
amount received plus the amount of outstanding Indebtedness exceeds the total
investments in the Policy, the excess will generally be treated as ordinary
income subject to tax. The tax consequences of other distributions from, and
Policy Loans taken from or secured by, a Policy depend upon whether the Policy
is classified as a "modified endowment contract".

   2. MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS. A policy may be treated as a modified
endowment contract depending upon the amount of premiums paid in relation to
the death benefit provided under such Policy. The premium limitation rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are extremely
complex. In general, however, a Policy will be a modified endowment contract if
the accumulated premiums paid at any time during the first seven Policy Years
exceed the sum of the net level premiums which would have been paid on or
before such time if the Policy provided for paid-up future benefits after the
payment of seven level annual premiums.

   In addition, if a Policy is "materially changed" it may cause such Policy to
be treated as a modified endowment contract. The material change rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are also
extremely complex. In general, however, the determination of whether a Policy
will be a modified endowment contract after a material change generally depends
upon the relationship among the death benefit at the time of such change, the
Cash Value at the time of the change and the additional premiums paid in the
seven Policy Years starting with the date on which the material change occurs.

   Moreover, a life insurance contract received in exchange for a life




insurance contract classified as a modified endowment contract will also be
treated as a modified endowment contract. A reduction in a Policy's benefits
may also cause such Policy to become a modified endowment contract.

   Accordingly, a prospective Owner should contact a competent tax adviser
before purchasing a Policy to determine the circumstances under which the
Policy would be a modified endowment contract. In addition, an Owner should
contact a competent tax adviser before paying any additional premiums or making
any other change to, including an exchange of, a Policy to determine whether
such premium or change would cause the Policy (or the new Policy in the case of
an exchange) to be treated as a modified endowment contract.

NOTE: MOST DESTINY POLICIES WERE MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTACTS FROM THE DATE OF
ISSUE, THEREFORE, DISTRIBUTIONS FROM MOST DESTINY POLICIES ARE TAXED AS FOLLOWS:

   3. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT.
Policies classified as modified endowment contracts will be subject to the
following tax rules: First, all distributions, including distributions upon
surrender, from such a Policy are treated as ordinary income subject to tax up
to the amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Cash Value immediately before
the distribution over the investment in the Policy (described below) at such
time. Second, Policy Loans taken from, or secured by, such a Policy, as well as
due but unpaid interest thereon, are treated as distributions from such a
Policy and taxed accordingly. Third, a 10 percent additional income tax is
imposed on the portion of any distribution from, or Policy Loan taken from or
secured by, such a Policy that is included in income, except where the
distribution or Policy Loan (a) is made on or after the Owner attains age 59
1/2, (b) is attributable to the Owner's becoming disabled, or (c) is part of a
series of substantially equal periodic payments for the life (or life
expectancy) of the Owner or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the
Owner and the Owner's Beneficiary.

   4. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES NOT CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT
CONTRACT. Distributions from Policies not classified as a modified endowment
contracts are generally treated as first recovering the investment in the
Policy (described below) and then, only after the return of all such investment
in the Policy, as distributing taxable income. An exception to this general
rule occurs in the case of a decrease in the Policy's death benefit (possibly
including a partial withdrawal) or any other change that reduces benefits under
the Policy in the first 15 years after the Policy is issued and that results in
cash distribution to the Owner in order for the Policy to continue complying
with the Section 7702 definitional limits. Such a cash distribution will be
taxed in whole or in part as ordinary income (to the extent of any gain in the
Policy) under rules prescribed in Section 7702.

   Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment
contract should generally not be treated as distributions. Instead, such loans
should generally be treated as indebtedness of the Owner. However, because the
tax consequences associated with Policy Loans are not always clear, in
particular, with respect to Policy Loans outstanding after the tenth Policy
year, you should consult a tax adviser prior to taking any Policy Loan.

   Upon a complete surrender or lapse of a Policy that is not a modified
endowment contract, if the amount received plus the amount of indebtedness
exceeds the total investment in the Policy, the excess will generally be
treated as ordinary income subject to tax.

   Neither distributions (including distributions upon surrender or lapse) nor
Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment
contract are subject to the 10 percent additional income tax.

   If a Policy which is not a modified endowment contract subsequently becomes
a modified endowment contract, then any distribution made from the Policy
within two years prior to the date of such change in status may become taxable.

   5. POLICY LOANS. Generally, interest paid on any loan under a life insurance
Policy is not deductible. AN OWNER SHOULD CONSULT A COMPETENT TAX ADVISER IF
THE DEDUCTIBILITY OF LOAN INTEREST IS A CONSIDERATION IN THE PURCHASE OF A
POLICY. If a Policy Loan is outstanding when a Policy is canceled or lapses,
the amount of the outstanding Indebtedness will be added to the amount
distributed and will be taxed accordingly.

   6. INTEREST EXPENSE ON UNRELATED INDEBTEDNESS. Under provisions added to the
Code in 1997 for policies issued after June 8, 1997, if a business taxpayer
owns or is the beneficiary of a Policy on the life of any individual who is not
an officer, director, employee, or 20 percent owner of the business, and the
taxpayer also has debt unrelated to the Policy, a portion of the taxpayer's
unrelated interest expense deductions may be lost. No business taxpayer should
purchase, exchange, or increase the death benefit under a Policy on the life of
any individual who is not an officer, director, employee, or 20 percent owner
of the business without first consulting a competent tax adviser.

   7. INVESTMENT IN THE POLICY. Investment in the Policy means (i) the
aggregate amount of any premiums or other consideration paid for a Policy, minus




(ii) the aggregate amount received under the Policy which is excluded from
gross income of the Owner (except that the amount of any Policy Loan from, or
secured by, a Policy that is a modified endowment contract, to the extent such
amount is excluded from gross income, will be disregarded), plus (iii) the
amount of any Policy Loan from, or secured by, a Policy that is a modified
endowment contract to the extent that such amount is included in the gross
income of the Owner.

   8. MULTIPLE POLICES. All modified endowment contracts that are issued by the
Company (or its affiliates) to the same Owner during any calendar year are
treated as one modified endowment contract for purposes of determining the
amount includible in gross income under Section 72(e) of the Code.

   9. LIFE INSURANCE PURCHASES BY NONRESIDENT ALIENS AND FOREIGN CORPORATIONS.
Policy Owners that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally be subject
to U.S. Federal withholding tax on taxable distributions from life insurance
policies at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, Policy
Owners may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes that may be
imposed by the Policy Owner's country of citizenship or residence.

   10. WITHHOLDING. To the extent that Policy distributions are taxable, they
are generally subject to withholding for the recipient's Federal income tax
liability. Recipients can generally elect, however, not to have tax withheld
from distributions.

   11. ESTATE, GIFT AND GENERATION-SKIPPING TRANSFER TAXES. The transfer of the
Policy or the designation of a beneficiary may have Federal, state, and/or
local transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of
gift, estate, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. When the insured dies,
the death proceeds will generally be includable in the Policy Owner's estate
for purposes of the Federal estate tax if the Policy Owner was the insured. If
the Policy Owner was not the insured, the fair market value of the Policy would
be included in the Policy Owner's estate upon the Policy Owner's death. The
Policy would not be includable in the insured's estate if the insured neither
retained incidents of ownership at death nor had given up ownership within
three years before death.

   Moreover, under certain circumstances, the Internal Revenue Code may impose
a "generation-skipping transfer tax" when all or part of a life insurance
policy is transferred to, or a death benefit is paid to, an individual two or
more generations younger than the Policy Owner. Regulations issued under the
Internal Revenue Code may require us to deduct the tax from your Policy, or
from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the IRS.

   Qualified tax advisers should be consulted concerning the estate and gift
tax consequences of Policy ownership and distributions under Federal, state and
local law. The individual situation of each Policy Owner or beneficiary will
determine the extent, if any, to which Federal, state, and local transfer and
inheritance taxes may be imposed and how ownership or receipt of Policy
proceeds will be treated for purposes of Federal, state and local estate,
inheritance, generation-skipping and other taxes.

   The Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 ("EGTRRA")
repeals the Federal estate tax and replaces it with a carryover basis income
tax regime effective for estates of decedents dying after December 31, 2009.
EGTRRA also repeals the generation-skipping transfer tax, but not the gift tax,
for transfers made after December 31, 2009. EGTRRA contains a sunset provision,
which essentially returns the Federal estate, gift and generation-skipping
transfer taxes to their pre-EGTRRA form, beginning in 2011. Congress may or may
not enact permanent repeal between now and then.

   During the period prior to 2010, EGTRRA provides for periodic decreases in
the maximum estate tax rate coupled with periodic increases in the estate tax
exemption. The maximum estate tax rate for 2007-2009 is 45%. The estate tax
exemption is $2,000,000 for 2006-2008 and $3,500,000 in 2009.

   The complexity of the new tax law, along with uncertainty as to how it might
be modified in coming years, underscores the importance of seeking guidance
from a qualified adviser to help ensure that your estate plan adequately
addresses your needs and those of your beneficiaries under all possible
scenarios.

   12. CONTINUATION OF POLICY BEYOND ATTAINED AGE 100. The tax consequences of
continuing the Policy beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100 birthday are
unclear. You should consult a tax adviser if you intend to keep the Policy in
force beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100.

   13. Ownership of the Policy by a corporation, trust or other non-natural
person could jeopardize some (or all) of such entity's interest deduction under
Internal Revenue Code Section 264, even where such entity's indebtedness is in
no way connected to the Policy. In addition, under Section 264(f)(5), if a
business (other than a sole proprietorship) is directly or indirectly a




beneficiary of the Policy, the Policy could be treated as held by the business
for purposes of the Section 264(f) entity-holder rules. Therefore, it would be
advisable to consult with a qualified tax adviser before any non-natural person
is made an owner or holder of the Policy, or before a business (other than a
sole proprietorship) is made a beneficiary of the Policy.

   14. GUIDANCE ON SPLIT DOLLAR PLANS. The IRS has issued guidance on split
dollar insurance plans. A tax adviser should be consulted with respect to this
guidance if your Policy is, or may become, subject to a split dollar insurance
plan. If your Policy is part of an equity split dollar arrangement, there is a
risk that some portion of the Policy cash value may be taxed prior to any
Policy distribution.

   In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act") which was signed
into law on July 30, 2002, prohibits, with exceptions, publicly-traded
companies, including non-U.S. companies that have securities listed on U.S.
exchanges, from extending, directly or indirectly or through a subsidiary, many
types of personal loans to their directors or executive officers. It is
possible that this prohibition may be interpreted to apply to split-dollar life
insurance arrangements for directors and executive officers of such companies,
since such arrangements can arguably be viewed as involving a loan from the
employer for at least some purposes.

   Although the prohibition on loans generally took effect as of July 30, 2002,
there is an exception for loans outstanding as of the date of enactment, so
long as there is no material modification to the loan terms and the loan is not
renewed after July 30, 2002. Any affected business contemplating the payment of
a premium on an existing Policy or the purchase of new Policy in connection
with a split-dollar life insurance arrangement should consult legal counsel.

   Split dollar insurance plans that provide deferred compensation may be
subject to recently enacted rules governing deferred compensation arrangements.
Failure to adhere to these rules will result in adverse tax consequences. A tax
adviser should be consulted with respect to such plans.

   15. ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX. There may also be an indirect tax upon the
income in the Policy or the proceeds of a Policy under the Federal corporate
alternative minimum tax, if the Owner is subject to that tax.

   16. PUERTO RICO. We believe that Policies subject to Puerto Rican tax law
will generally receive treatment similar, with certain modifications, to that
described above. Among other differences, Policies governed by Puerto Rican tax
law are not currently subject to the rules described above regarding Modified
Endowment Contracts. You should consult your tax adviser with respect to Puerto
Rican tax law governing the Policies.

   17. POSSIBLE TAX LAW CHANGES. Although the likelihood of legislative changes
is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the
Policy could change by legislation or otherwise. Consult a tax adviser with
respect to legislative developments and their effect on the Policy.

   18. FOREIGN TAX CREDITS. To the extent permitted under Federal tax law, we
may claim the benefit of certain foreign tax credits attributable to taxes paid
by certain Eligible Funds to foreign jurisdictions.

   19. POSSIBLE CHARGE FOR TAXES. At the present time, the Company makes no
charge to the Separate Account for any Federal, state, or local taxes (as
opposed to Premium Tax Charges which are deducted from premium payments) that
it incurs which may be attributable to such Separate Account or to the
Policies. The Company, however, reserves the right in the future to make a
charge for any such tax or other economic burden resulting from the application
of the tax laws that it determines to be properly attributable to the Separate
Account or to the Policies.

                                 VOTING RIGHTS

   Based on its understanding of current applicable legal requirements, the
Company will vote the shares of the Funds held in the Separate Account at
regular and special shareholder meetings of the mutual funds in accordance with
the instructions received from persons having voting interests in the
corresponding Divisions of the Separate Account. If, however, the 1940 Act or
any regulation thereunder should be amended or if the present interpretation
thereof should change, and as a result the Company determines that it is
permitted to vote shares of the Fund in its own right, it may elect to do so.
No voting privileges apply to the Policies with respect to Cash Value removed
from the Separate Account as a result of a Policy Loan.

   The number of votes which an Owner has the right to instruct will be
calculated separately for each Division. Voting rights reflect the dollar value
of the total number of units of each Division of the Separate Account credited
to the Owner at the record date, rather than the number of units alone.
Fractional shares will be counted. The number of votes of the Fund which the
Owner has the right to instruct will be determined as of the date coincident
with the date established by that Fund for determining shareholders eligible.
Voting instructions will be solicited by written communications prior to such
meeting in accordance with procedures established by the mutual funds.

   The company will vote shares of a Fund for which no timely instructions are
received in proportion to the voting instructions which are received with
respect to that Fund. The Company will also vote any shares of the Funds which




are not attributable to Policies in the same proportion. The effect of this
proportional voting is that a smaller number of Policy Owners may control the
outcome of a vote.

   Each person having a voting interest in a Division will receive any proxy
material, reports, and other materials relating to the appropriate Fund.

   DISREGARD OF VOTING INSTRUCTIONS. The Company may, when required by state
insurance regulatory authorities, disregard voting instructions if the
instructions require that the shares be voted so as to cause a change in the
subclassification or investment objective of the Fund or to approve or
disapprove an investment Advisory contract for a Fund. In addition, the Company
itself may disregard voting instructions in favor of changes initiated by an
Owner in the investment policy or the investment adviser or sub-adviser of a
Fund if the Company reasonably disapproves of such changes. A proposed change
would be disapproved only if the proposed change is contrary to state law or
prohibited by state regulatory authorities, or the Company determined that the
change would have an adverse effect on its General Account in that the proposed
investment policy for a Fund may result in overly speculative or unsound
investments. If the Company disregards voting instructions, a summary of that
action and the reasons for such action will be included in the next annual
report to Owners.

                    RESTRICTIONS ON FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS

   Applicable laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering
might, in certain circumstances, require us to reject a premium payment and/or
block or "freeze" your Policy. If these laws apply in a particular situation,
we would not be allowed to process any request for withdrawals, surrenders,
loans or death benefits, make transfers or continue making payments under your
death benefit option until instructions are received from the appropriate
regulator. We also may be required to provide additional information about you
or your Policy to government regulators.

                               LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

   General American, like other insurance companies, is involved in lawsuits,
including class action lawsuits. In some class action lawsuits involving
insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement
payments have been made. In addition, on May 14, 2004, MetLife, Inc. announced
that General American had received a "Wells Notice" from the Securities and
Exchange Commission in connection with an SEC investigation regarding market
timing and late trading in a limited number of its privately-placed variable
insurance contracts. The Wells Notice provides notice that the SEC staff is
considering recommending that the SEC bring a civil action alleging violations
of U.S. securities laws. Under SEC procedures, General American can avail
itself of the opportunity to respond to the SEC staff before it makes a formal
recommendation regarding whether any action alleging violations of the U.S.
securities laws should be considered. General American has responded to the
Wells Notice. General American continues to cooperate fully with the SEC in its
investigation and is not aware of any systemic problems with respect to such
matters. Although the outcome of any litigation or administrative or other
proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, General American does not
believe any such litigation or proceedings will have a materially adverse
impact upon the Separate Account, or upon the ability of MetLife Investors
Distribution Company to perform its contract with the Separate Account, or of
General American to meet its obligations under the Policies.

                 INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

   The financial statements of General American Separate Account Eleven and the

new accounting guidance which the Company adopted on December 31, 2006, and
January 1, 2004, respectively), included in this Prospectus Supplement have been

   The financial statements of General American which are included in this
prospectus supplement should be distinguished from the financial statements of
the Separate Account, and should be considered only as bearing on the ability
of General American to meet its obligations under the Policy. They should not
be considered as bearing on the investment performance of the assets held in
the Separate Account.

The following is added under TAX TREATMENT OF POLICY BENEFITS in the TAX
CONSIDERATIONS section of the American Vision Series VUL 2002 prospectus and in
the FEDERAL TAX MATTERS section of all other prospectuses:

   Employer-Owned Life Insurance. In the case of employer-owned life insurance
   as defined in Section 101(j) of the Internal Revenue Code, the amount
   excludable from gross income is limited to premiums paid unless the Policy
   falls within certain specified exceptions and a notice and consent
   requirement is satisfied before the Policy is issued. Certain specified
   exceptions are based on the status of an employee as highly compensated or
   recently employed. There are also exceptions for policy proceeds paid to an
   employee's heirs. These exceptions only apply if proper notice is given to
   the insured employee and consent is received from the insured employee
   before the issuance of the Policy. These rules apply to Policies issued
   August 18, 2006 and later and also apply to Policies issued before
   August 18, 2006 after a material increase in the death benefit or other
   material change. An IRS reporting requirement applies to employer-owned life
   insurance subject to these rules. Because these rules are complex and will
   affect the tax treatment of death benefits, it is advisable to consult tax
   counsel. The death benefit will also be taxable in the case of a
   transfer-for-value unless certain exceptions apply.

   THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT. The separate account consists of divisions, each of
which corresponds to an underlying Fund. Each division may either make money or
lose money. Therefore if you invest in a division of the separate account, you
may either make money or lose money, depending on the investment experience of
that division. There is no guaranteed rate of return in the separate account.

   The following chart shows the Funds that are available under the policy
along with the name of the investment adviser, sub-adviser (where applicable)
and investment objective of each Fund. The Funds have different investment
goals and strategies. You should review the prospectus of each Fund, or seek

(1) Net Total Annual Expenses do not reflect any voluntary waivers of fees and
    expenses, or any expense reductions resulting from directed brokerage
    arrangements.

(2) Net Total Annual Expenses reflect a written agreement pursuant to which JP
    Morgan Funds Management, Inc. agrees that it will reimburse the Portfolios
    to the extent total annual operating expenses of the Portfolios' shares
    (excluding dividend expenses on securities sold short, interest, taxes and
    extraordinary expenses) exceed .75% for the JP Morgan Bond Portfolio and
    1.15% for the JP Morgan Small Company Portfolio through April 30, 2007.

(3) Our affiliate, Met Investors Advisory LLC ("Met Investors Advisory"), and
    Met Investors Series Trust have entered into an Expense Limitation Agreement
    under which Met Investors Advisory has agreed to waive or limit its fees and
    to assume other expenses so that Net Total Annual Expenses of each Portfolio
    (other than interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures which
    are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
    and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of each
    Portfolio's business) will not exceed, at any time prior to April 30, 2007,
    the following percentages: 1.10% for the Harris Oakmark International
    Portfolio, .90% for the Janus Aggressive Growth Portfolio, .80% for the
    Lazard Mid-Cap Portfolio, 1.05% for the Met/AIM Small Cap Growth Portfolio,

    circumstances, any fees waived or expenses reimbursed by Met Investors
    Advisory may, with the approval of the Trust's Board of Trustees, be repaid
    to Met Investors Advisory. Due to certain brokerage commission recaptures
    not shown in the table, actual Net Total Annual Expenses for the RCM Global
    Technology Portfolio were 1.10% for the year ended December 31, 2005.

(4) Management Fees have been restated to reflect a new management fee schedule
    that became effective on December 19, 2005 for the Lazard Mid-Cap Portfolio
    and January 1, 2006 for the Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio.

(5) Other Expenses reflect the repayment of fees previously waived and/or

    next $500 million of assets for the BlackRock Money Market Portfolio and
    .015% on the first $50 million of assets for the T. Rowe Price Large Cap
    Growth Portfolio.

(7) The Management Fee for the MFS Total Return Portfolio has been restated to




    reflect a new management fee schedule that became effective on May 1, 2006.

(8) The Funds' Manager, Frank Russell Investment Company (FRIMCo) has
    contractually agreed to waive, at least until April 30, 2006, a portion of
    its management fee, up to the full amount of that fee, equal to the amount
    by which the funds' operating expenses exceed 1.05% for the Aggressive
    Equity Fund, .70% for the Core Bond Fund, .87% for the Multi-Style Equity
    Fund and 1.15% for the Non-U.S. Fund, and to reimburse the Funds for all
    remaining expenses, after fee waivers, that exceed these amounts for each
    Fund.

CERTAIN PAYMENTS WE RECEIVE WITH REGARD TO THE FUNDS

   An investment adviser (other than our affiliate Met Life Advisers and Met
Investors Advisory) or sub-adviser or its affiliates may compensate us and/or
certain affiliates for administrative or other services relating to the Funds.
The amount of the compensation is not deducted from Fund assets and does not
decrease the Fund's investment return. The amount of the compensation is based
on a percentage of assets of the Fund attributable to the Policies and certain
other variable insurance products that we and our affiliates issue. These
percentages differ and some advisers or sub-advisers (or other affiliates) may
pay us more than others. These percentages currently range up to 0.50%.
Additionally, an investment adviser or sub-adviser of a Fund or its affiliates
may provide us with wholesaling services that assist in the distribution of the
Policies 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
sub-adviser (or other affiliate) with increased access to persons involved in
the distribution of the Policies.

   We and certain of our affiliated insurance companies have membership
interests in our affiliated investment advisers, MetLife Advisers and Met
Investors Advisory, which are formed as limited liability companies. Our
membership interests entitle us to profit distributions if the adviser makes a
profit with respect to the management fees it receives from a Fund. We may
benefit accordingly from assets allocated to the Funds to the extent they
result in profits to the advisers. (See "Charges and Deductions -- Annual Fund
Operating Expenses" for information on the management fees paid to the advisers
and the Statement of Additional Information for the Funds for information on
the management fees paid by the adviser to sub-advisers.)

   The American Funds Global Small Capitalization Fund, the American Funds
Growth Fund and the American Funds Growth-Income Fund have adopted a
Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 under
which the Funds make payments to our Distributor, MetLife Investors
Distribution Company, in consideration of services provided and expenses
incurred by our Distributor in distributing the Funds' shares. The payments,
which are equal to 0.25% of the Separate Account assets invested in Funds, are
deducted from the assets of the Funds and decrease the Funds' investment
return. The Distribution Plan is described in more detail in each Fund's
prospectus. (See also "Charges and Deductions -- Annual Fund Operating
Expenses.")

   We pay American Funds Distributors, Inc., principal underwriter for the
American Funds Insurance Series, a percentage of all premiums 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 Policies.

SELECTION OF THE FUNDS

   We select the Funds offered through the Policy based on several 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 compensate us or our affiliates for providing certain
administrative and other services, as described above. We review the Funds
periodically and may remove a Fund or limit its availability to new premium
payments and/or transfers of cash 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 Policy Owners. We do not provide
investment advice and do not recommend or endorse any particular Fund.

                                 POLICY RIGHTS

TRANSFERS

   Frequent requests from Policy Owners to transfer cash value 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 Fund's share price ("arbitrage trading"). Regardless of the existence of
pricing inefficiencies, frequent transfers may also 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
("disruptive trading"). Accordingly, arbitrage trading and disruptive trading
activities (referred to collectively as "market timing") may adversely affect
the long-term performance of the Funds, which may in turn adversely affect
Policy Owners and other persons who may have an interest in the Policies (e.g.,
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., the BlackRock Strategic
Value Portfolio, FI International Stock Portfolio, Morgan Stanley EAFE Index
Portfolio, Russell 2000 Index Portfolio, T. Rowe Price Small Cap Growth
Portfolio, Harris Oakmark International Portfolio, Lord Abbett Bond Debenture
Portfolio, Met/AIM Small Cap Growth Portfolio, VIP Overseas Portfolio, American
Funds Global Small Capitalization Fund, JPMorgan Small Company Stock Portfolio,
Russell Aggressive Equity Fund, Russell Non-U.S. Fund, Van Eck Worldwide
Emerging Markets Fund and Van Eck Worldwide Hard Assets Fund) and we monitor
transfer activity in those Funds (the "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 Monitored
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 Cash Value; and (3) two or more "round-trips" involving
any Monitored Portfolio 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.

   Our policies and procedures may result in transfer restrictions being
applied to deter market timing. Currently, when we detect transfer activity in
the Monitored Portfolios that exceeds our current transfer limits, or other
transfer activity that we believe may be harmful to other Policy Owners or
other persons who have an interest in the Policies, we require all future
transfer requests to or from any Monitored Portfolios or other identified
Portfolios under that Policy to be submitted either (i) in writing with an
original signature or (ii) by telephone prior to 10:00 a.m.

   Transfers made under the dollar cost averaging program or the portfolio
rebalancing program are not treated as transfers when we evaluate trading
patterns for market timing.

   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 Policy Owners to avoid such
detection. Our ability to restrict such transfer activity may also be limited
by provisions of the Policy. Accordingly, there is no assurance that we will
prevent all transfer activity that may adversely affect Policy Owners and other
persons with interests in the Policies. We do not accommodate market timing in
any Funds and there are no arrangements in place to permit any Policy Owner to
engage in market timing; 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 purchases and redemptions of 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. Policy Owners and other persons with
interests in the Policies should be aware that we may not have the contractual
obligation or the operational capacity to apply the frequent trading policies
and procedures of the Funds. However, under rules recently adopted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, effective October 16, 2006 we will be
required to (1) enter into a written agreement with each Fund or its principal
underwriter that will obligate us to provide to the Fund promptly upon request
certain information about the trading activity of individual Policy Owners, and
(2) execute instructions from the Fund to restrict or prohibit further
purchases or transfers by specific Policy Owners who violate the frequent
trading policies established by the Fund.

   In addition, Policy Owners and other persons with interests in the Policies
should be aware that some Funds may receive "omnibus" purchase and redemption
orders from other insurance companies or intermediaries such as retirement




plans. The omnibus orders reflect the aggregation and netting of multiple
orders from individual owners of variable insurance policies and/or individual
retirement plan participants. The omnibus nature of these orders may limit the
Funds in their ability to apply their frequent trading 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 Policy Owners) will not be harmed by
transfer activity relating to the other insurance companies and/or retirement
plans that may invest in the Funds.

   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 market timing activities (even if an entire
omnibus order is rejected due to the market timing activity of a single Policy
Owner). You should read the Fund prospectuses for more details.

                              FEDERAL TAX MATTERS

INTRODUCTION

   The following summary provides a general description of the Federal income
tax considerations associated with the Policy and does not purport to be
complete or to cover all situations. This discussion is not intended as tax
advice. Counsel or other competent tax advisers should be consulted for more
complete information. This discussion is based upon General American's
understanding of the present Federal income tax laws as they are currently
interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service. No representation is made as to
the likelihood of continuation of the present Federal income tax laws or of the
current interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service.

TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY

   In order to qualify as a life insurance contract for Federal income tax
purposes and to receive the tax treatment normally accorded life insurance
contracts under Federal tax law, a Policy must satisfy certain requirements
which are set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. Guidance as to how these
requirements are to be applied is limited, in particular, with respect to joint
and last survivor life insurance policies. Nevertheless, we believe that the
Policies should satisfy the applicable requirements. There is less guidance,
however, with respect to Policies issued on a substandard or guaranteed issue
basis and Policies with term riders added, and it is not clear whether such
policies will in all cases satisfy the applicable requirements, particularly if
the owner pay the full amount of premiums under the Policy. We may take
appropriate steps to bring the Policy into compliance with applicable
requirements, and we reserve the right to restrict Policy transactions in order
to do so. The insurance proceeds payable on the death of the insured will never
be less than the minimum amount required for the Policy to be treated as life
insurance under section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code, as in effect on the
date the Policy was issued.

   In some circumstances, owners of variable contracts who retain excessive
control over the investment of the underlying separate account assets may be
treated as the owners of those assets. Although published guidance in this area
does not address certain aspects of the Policies, we believe that the Owner of
a Policy should not be treated as the owner of the Separate Account assets. We
reserve the right to modify the Policies to bring them into conformity with
applicable standards should such modification be necessary to prevent Owners of
the Policies from being treated as the owners of the underlying Separate
Account assets.

   In addition, the Code requires that the investments of the Separate Account
be "adequately diversified" in order for the Policies to be treated as life
insurance contracts for Federal income tax purposes. It is intended that the
Separate Account, through the Eligible Funds, will satisfy these
diversification requirements.

   The following discussion assumes that the Policy will qualify as a life
insurance contract for Federal income tax purposes.

   1. TAX TREATMENT OF POLICY BENEFITS. In general, the Company believes that
the proceeds and Cash Value increases of a Policy should be treated in a manner
consistent with a fixed-benefit life insurance policy for Federal income tax




purposes. Thus, the death benefit under the Policy should be excludable from
the gross income of the Beneficiary under Section 101(a)(1) of the Code, unless
a transfer for value (generally a sale of the policy) has occurred. Many
changes or transactions involving a Policy may have tax consequences, depending
on the circumstances. Such changes include, but are not limited to, the
exchange of the Policy, a change of the Policy's Face Amount, a Policy Loan, an
additional premium payment, a Policy lapse with an outstanding Policy Loan, a
partial withdrawal, or a surrender of the Policy. The transfer of the Policy or
designation of a Beneficiary may have Federal, state, and/or local transfer and
inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of gift, estate, and
generation-skipping transfer taxes. For example, the transfer of the Policy to,
or the designation as a Beneficiary of, or the payment of proceeds to, a person
who is assigned to a generation which is two or more generations below the
generation assignment of the Owner may have generation skipping transfer tax
consequences under Federal tax law. The individual situation of each Owner or
Beneficiary will determine the extent, if any, to which Federal, state, and
local transfer and inheritance taxes may be imposed and how ownership or
receipt of Policy proceeds will be treated for purposes of Federal, state and
local estate, inheritance, generation skipping and other taxes.

   A Policy may also be used in various arrangements, including non-qualified
deferred compensation or salary continuation plans, split dollar insurance
plans, executive bonus plans, retiree medical benefit plans and others. The tax
consequences of such plans may vary depending on the particular facts and
circumstances of each individual arrangement. Therefore, if you are
contemplating the use of a Policy in any arrangement the value of which depends
in part on its tax consequences, you should be sure to consult a qualified tax
adviser regarding the tax attributes of the particular arrangement.

   Generally, the Owner will not be deemed to be in constructive receipt of the
Policy's Cash Value, including increments thereof, under the Policy until there
is a distribution. Under a complete surrender or lapse of any Policy, if the
amount received plus the amount of outstanding Indebtedness exceeds the total
investments in the Policy, the excess will generally be treated as ordinary
income subject to tax. The tax consequences of other distributions from, and
Policy Loans taken from or secured by, a Policy depend upon whether the Policy
is classified as a "modified endowment contract".

   2. MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS. A policy may be treated as a modified
endowment contract depending upon the amount of premiums paid in relation to
the death benefit provided under such Policy. The premium limitation rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are extremely
complex. In general, however, a Policy will be a modified endowment contract if
the accumulated premiums paid at any time during the first seven Policy Years
exceed the sum of the net level premiums which would have been paid on or
before such time if the Policy provided for paid-up future benefits after the
payment of seven level annual premiums.

   In addition, if a Policy is "materially changed" it may cause such Policy to
be treated as a modified endowment contract. The material change rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are also
extremely complex. In general, however, the determination of whether a Policy
will be a modified endowment contract after a material change generally depends
upon the relationship among the death benefit at the time of such change, the
Cash Value at the time of the change and the additional premiums paid in the
seven Policy Years starting with the date on which the material change occurs.

   Moreover, a life insurance contract received in exchange for a life
insurance contract classified as a modified endowment contract will also be
treated as a modified endowment contract. A reduction in a Policy's benefits
may also cause such Policy to become a modified endowment contract.

   Accordingly, a prospective Owner should contact a competent tax adviser
before purchasing a Policy to determine the circumstances under which the
Policy would be a modified endowment contract. In addition, an Owner should
contact a competent tax adviser before paying any additional premiums or making
any other change to, including an exchange of, a Policy to determine whether
such premium or change would cause the Policy (or the new Policy in the case of
an exchange) to be treated as a modified endowment contract.

NOTE: MOST DESTINY POLICIES WERE MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTACTS FROM THE DATE OF
ISSUE, THEREFORE, DISTRIBUTIONS FROM MOST DESTINY POLICIES ARE TAXED AS FOLLOWS:

   3. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT.
Policies classified as modified endowment contracts will be subject to the
following tax rules: First, all distributions, including distributions upon
surrender, from such a Policy are treated as ordinary income subject to tax up
to the amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Cash Value immediately before
the distribution over the investment in the Policy (described below) at such
time. Second, Policy Loans taken from, or secured by, such a Policy, as well as
due but unpaid interest thereon, are treated as distributions from such a
Policy and taxed accordingly. Third, a 10 percent additional income tax is
imposed on the portion of any distribution from, or Policy Loan taken from or
secured by, such a Policy that is included in income, except where the
distribution or Policy Loan (a) is made on or after the Owner attains age 59
1/2, (b) is attributable to the Owner's becoming disabled, or (c) is part of a
series of substantially equal periodic payments for the life (or life
expectancy) of the Owner or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the
Owner and the Owner's Beneficiary.




   4. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES NOT CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT
CONTRACT. Distributions from Policies not classified as a modified endowment
contracts are generally treated as first recovering the investment in the
Policy (described below) and then, only after the return of all such investment
in the Policy, as distributing taxable income. An exception to this general
rule occurs in the case of a decrease in the Policy's death benefit (possibly
including a partial withdrawal) or any other change that reduces benefits under
the Policy in the first 15 years after the Policy is issued and that results in
cash distribution to the Owner in order for the Policy to continue complying
with the Section 7702 definitional limits. Such a cash distribution will be
taxed in whole or in part as ordinary income (to the extent of any gain in the
Policy) under rules prescribed in Section 7702.

   Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment
contract should generally not be treated as distributions. Instead, such loans
should generally be treated as indebtedness of the Owner. However, because the
tax consequences associated with Policy Loans are not always clear, in
particular, with respect to Policy Loans outstanding after the tenth Policy
year, you should consult a tax adviser prior to taking any Policy Loan.

   Upon a complete surrender or lapse of a Policy that is not a modified
endowment contract, if the amount received plus the amount of indebtedness
exceeds the total investment in the Policy, the excess will generally be
treated as ordinary income subject to tax.

   Neither distributions (including distributions upon surrender or lapse) nor
Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment
contract are subject to the 10 percent additional income tax.

   If a Policy which is not a modified endowment contract subsequently becomes
a modified endowment contract, then any distribution made from the Policy
within two years prior to the date of such change in status may become taxable.

   5. POLICY LOANS. Generally, interest paid on any loan under a life insurance
Policy is not deductible. AN OWNER SHOULD CONSULT A COMPETENT TAX ADVISER IF
THE DEDUCTIBILITY OF LOAN INTEREST IS A CONSIDERATION IN THE PURCHASE OF A
POLICY. If a Policy Loan is outstanding when a Policy is canceled or lapses,
the amount of the outstanding Indebtedness will be added to the amount
distributed and will be taxed accordingly.

   6. INTEREST EXPENSE ON UNRELATED INDEBTEDNESS. Under provisions added to the
Code in 1997 for policies issued after June 8, 1997, if a business taxpayer
owns or is the beneficiary of a Policy on the life of any individual who is not
an officer, director, employee, or 20 percent owner of the business, and the
taxpayer also has debt unrelated to the Policy, a portion of the taxpayer's
unrelated interest expense deductions may be lost. No business taxpayer should
purchase, exchange, or increase the death benefit under a Policy on the life of
any individual who is not an officer, director, employee, or 20 percent owner
of the business without first consulting a competent tax adviser.

   7. INVESTMENT IN THE POLICY. Investment in the Policy means (i) the
aggregate amount of any premiums or other consideration paid for a Policy,
minus (ii) the aggregate amount received under the Policy which is excluded
from gross income of the Owner (except that the amount of any Policy Loan from,
or secured by, a Policy that is a modified endowment contract, to the extent
such amount is excluded from gross income, will be disregarded), plus (iii) the
amount of any Policy Loan from, or secured by, a Policy that is a modified
endowment contract to the extent that such amount is included in the gross
income of the Owner.

   8. MULTIPLE POLICES. All modified endowment contracts that are issued by the
Company (or its affiliates) to the same Owner during any calendar year are
treated as one modified endowment contract for purposes of determining the
amount includible in gross income under Section 72(e) of the Code.

   9. LIFE INSURANCE PURCHASES BY NONRESIDENT ALIENS AND FOREIGN CORPORATIONS.
Policy Owners that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally be subject
to U.S. Federal withholding tax on taxable distributions from life insurance
policies at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, Policy
Owners may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes that may be
imposed by the Policy Owner's country of citizenship or residence.

   10. WITHHOLDING. To the extent that Policy distributions are taxable, they
are generally subject to withholding for the recipient's Federal income tax
liability. Recipients can generally elect, however, not to have tax withheld
from distributions.

   11. ESTATE, GIFT AND GENERATION-SKIPPING TRANSFER TAXES. The transfer of the
Policy or the designation of a beneficiary may have Federal, state, and/or
local transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of
gift, estate, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. When the insured dies,
the death proceeds will generally be includable in the Policy Owner's estate
for purposes of the Federal estate tax if the Policy Owner was the insured. If
the Policy Owner was not the insured, the fair market value of the Policy would
be included in the Policy Owner's estate upon the Policy Owner's death. The
Policy would not be includable in the insured's estate if the insured neither
retained incidents of ownership at death nor had given up ownership within
three years before death.

   Moreover, under certain circumstances, the Internal Revenue Code may impose
a "generation-skipping transfer tax" when all or part of a life insurance
policy is transferred to, or a death benefit is paid to, an individual two or
more




generations younger than the Policy Owner. Regulations issued under the
Internal Revenue Code may require us to deduct the tax from your Policy, or
from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the IRS.

   Qualified tax advisers should be consulted concerning the estate and gift
tax consequences of Policy ownership and distributions under Federal, state and
local law. The individual situation of each Policy Owner or beneficiary will
determine the extent, if any, to which Federal, state, and local transfer and
inheritance taxes may be imposed and how ownership or receipt of Policy
proceeds will be treated for purposes of Federal, state and local estate,
inheritance, generation-skipping and other taxes.

   The Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 ("EGTRRA")
repeals the Federal estate tax and replaces it with a carryover basis income
tax regime effective for estates of decedents dying after December 31, 2009.
EGTRRA also repeals the generation-skipping transfer tax, but not the gift tax,
for transfers made after December 31, 2009. EGTRRA contains a sunset provision,
which essentially returns the Federal estate, gift and generation-skipping
transfer taxes to their pre-EGTRRA form, beginning in 2011. Congress may or may
not enact permanent repeal between now and then.

   During the period prior to 2010, EGTRRA provides for periodic decreases in
the maximum estate tax rate coupled with periodic increases in the estate tax
exemption. For 2006, the maximum estate tax rate is 46% and the maximum rate
for 2007-2009 is 45%. The estate tax exemption is $2,000,000 for 2006-2008 and
$3,500,000 in 2009.

   The complexity of the new tax law, along with uncertainty as to how it might
be modified in coming years, underscores the importance of seeking guidance
from a qualified adviser to help ensure that your estate plan adequately
addresses your needs and those of your beneficiaries under all possible
scenarios.

   12. CONTINUATION OF POLICY BEYOND ATTAINED AGE 100. The tax consequences of
continuing the Policy beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100 birthday are
unclear. You should consult a tax adviser if you intend to keep the Policy in
force beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100.

   13. Ownership of the Policy by a corporation, trust or other non-natural
person could jeopardize some (or all) of such entity's interest deduction under
Internal Revenue Code Section 264, even where such entity's indebtedness is in
no way connected to the Policy. In addition, under Section 264(f)(5), if a
business (other than a sole proprietorship) is directly or indirectly a
beneficiary of the Policy, the Policy could be treated as held by the business
for purposes of the Section 264(f) entity-holder rules. Therefore, it would be
advisable to consult with a qualified tax adviser before any non-natural person
is made an owner or holder of the Policy, or before a business (other than a
sole proprietorship) is made a beneficiary of the Policy.

   14. GUIDANCE ON SPLIT DOLLAR PLANS. The IRS has issued guidance on split
dollar insurance plans. A tax adviser should be consulted with respect to this
guidance if your Policy is, or may become, subject to a split dollar insurance
plan. If your Policy is part of an equity split dollar arrangement, there is a
risk that some portion of the Policy cash value may be taxed prior to any
Policy distribution.

   In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act") which was signed
into law on July 30, 2002, prohibits, with exceptions, publicly-traded
companies, including non-U.S. companies that have securities listed on U.S.
exchanges, from extending, directly or indirectly or through a subsidiary, many
types of personal loans to their directors or executive officers. It is
possible that this prohibition may be interpreted to apply to split-dollar life
insurance arrangements for directors and executive officers of such companies,
since such arrangements can arguably be viewed as involving a loan from the
employer for at least some purposes.

   Although the prohibition on loans generally took effect as of July 30, 2002,
there is an exception for loans outstanding as of the date of enactment, so
long as there is no material modification to the loan terms and the loan is not
renewed after July 30, 2002. Any affected business contemplating the payment of
a premium on an existing Policy or the purchase of new Policy in connection
with a split-dollar life insurance arrangement should consult legal counsel.

   Split dollar insurance plans that provide deferred compensation may be
subject to recently enacted rules governing deferred compensation arrangements.
Failure to adhere to these rules will result in adverse tax consequences. A tax
adviser should be consulted with respect to such plans.

   15. ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX. There may also be an indirect tax upon the
income in the Policy or the proceeds of a Policy under the Federal corporate
alternative minimum tax, if the Owner is subject to that tax.

   16. PUERTO RICO. We believe that Policies subject to Puerto Rican tax law
will generally receive treatment similar, with certain modifications, to that




described above. Among other differences, Policies governed by Puerto Rican tax
law are not currently subject to the rules described above regarding Modified
Endowment Contracts. You should consult your tax adviser with respect to Puerto
Rican tax law governing the Policies.

   17. POSSIBLE TAX LAW CHANGES. Although the likelihood of legislative changes
is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the
Policy could change by legislation or otherwise. Consult a tax adviser with
respect to legislative developments and their effect on the Policy.

   18. FOREIGN TAX CREDITS. To the extent permitted under Federal tax law, we
may claim the benefit of certain foreign tax credits attributable to taxes paid
by certain Eligible Funds to foreign jurisdictions.

   19. POSSIBLE CHARGE FOR TAXES. At the present time, the Company makes no
charge to the Separate Account for any Federal, state, or local taxes (as
opposed to Premium Tax Charges which are deducted from premium payments) that
it incurs which may be attributable to such Separate Account or to the
Policies. The Company, however, reserves the right in the future to make a
charge for any such tax or other economic burden resulting from the application
of the tax laws that it determines to be properly attributable to the Separate
Account or to the Policies.

                                 VOTING RIGHTS

   Based on its understanding of current applicable legal requirements, the
Company will vote the shares of the Funds held in the Separate Account at
regular and special shareholder meetings of the mutual funds in accordance with
the instructions received from persons having voting interests in the
corresponding Divisions of the Separate Account. If, however, the 1940 Act or
any regulation thereunder should be amended or if the present interpretation
thereof should change, and as a result the Company determines that it is
permitted to vote shares of the Fund in its own right, it may elect to do so.
No voting privileges apply to the Policies with respect to Cash Value removed
from the Separate Account as a result of a Policy Loan.

   The number of votes which an Owner has the right to instruct will be
calculated separately for each Division. Voting rights reflect the dollar value
of the total number of units of each Division of the Separate Account credited
to the Owner at the record date, rather than the number of units alone.
Fractional shares will be counted. The number of votes of the Fund which the
Owner has the right to instruct will be determined as of the date coincident
with the date established by that Fund for determining shareholders eligible.
Voting instructions will be solicited by written communications prior to such
meeting in accordance with procedures established by the mutual funds.

   The company will vote shares of a Fund for which no timely instructions are
received in proportion to the voting instructions which are received with
respect to that Fund. The Company will also vote any shares of the Funds which
are not attributable to Policies in the same proportion.

   Each person having a voting interest in a Division will receive any proxy
material, reports, and other materials relating to the appropriate Fund.

   DISREGARD OF VOTING INSTRUCTIONS. The Company may, when required by state
insurance regulatory authorities, disregard voting instructions if the
instructions require that the shares be voted so as to cause a change in the
subclassification or investment objective of the Fund or to approve or
disapprove an investment Advisory contract for a Fund. In addition, the Company
itself may disregard voting instructions in favor of changes initiated by an
Owner in the investment policy or the investment adviser or sub-adviser of a
Fund if the Company reasonably disapproves of such changes. A proposed change
would be disapproved only if the proposed change is contrary to state law or
prohibited by state regulatory authorities, or the Company determined that the
change would have an adverse effect on its General Account in that the proposed
investment policy for a Fund may result in overly speculative or unsound
investments. If the Company disregards voting instructions, a summary of that
action and the reasons for such action will be included in the next annual
report to Owners.

                    RESTRICTIONS ON FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS

   Applicable laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering
might, in certain circumstances, require us to reject a premium payment and/or
block or "freeze" your Policy. If these laws apply in a particular situation,
we would not be allowed to process any request for withdrawals, surrenders,
loans or death benefits, make transfers or continue making payments under your
death benefit option until instructions are received from the appropriate
regulator. We also may be required to provide additional information about you
or your Policy to government regulators.

                               LEGAL PROCEEDINGS




   General American, like other insurance companies, is involved in lawsuits,
including class action lawsuits. In some class action lawsuits involving
insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement
payments have been made. In addition, on May 14, 2004, MetLife, Inc. announced
that General American had received a "Wells Notice" from the Securities and
Exchange Commission in connection with an SEC investigation regarding market
timing and late trading in a limited number of its privately-placed variable
insurance contracts. The Wells Notice provides notice that the SEC staff is
considering recommending that the SEC bring a civil action alleging violations
of U.S. securities laws. Under SEC procedures, General American can avail
itself of the opportunity to respond to the SEC staff before it makes a formal
recommendation regarding whether any action alleging violations of the U.S.
securities laws should be considered. General American has responded to the
Wells Notice. General American continues to cooperate fully with the SEC in its
investigation and is not aware of any systemic problems with respect to such
matters. Although the outcome of any litigation or administrative or other
proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, General American does not
believe any such litigation or proceedings will have a materially adverse
impact upon the Separate Account, or upon the ability of MetLife Investors
Distribution Company to perform its contract with the Separate Account, or of
General American to meet its obligations under the Policies.

   You may request an account transfer or reallocation of future premiums by
written request (which may be telecopied) to our Administrative Office, by
telephoning us, or over the Internet. To request a transfer or reallocation by
telephone, you should contact your registered representative, or contact us at

to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone, facsimile or Internet
are genuine. Any telephone, facsimile or Internet instructions that we
reasonably believe to be genuine will be your responsibility, including losses
arising from any errors in the communication of instructions. However, because
telephone and Internet transactions may be available to anyone who provides
certain information about you and your Policy, you should protect that

telephone or Internet instructions, or that you have authorized any such person
to act for you.

   Telephone, facsimile, and computer systems (including the Internet) may not

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 by writing to our Administrative Office.

   THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT. The separate account consists of divisions, each of
which corresponds to an underlying Fund. Each division may either make money or
lose money. Therefore if you invest in a division of the separate account, you
may either make money or lose money, depending on the investment experience of
that division. There is no guaranteed rate of return in the separate account.




   The following chart shows the Funds that are available under the policy
along with the name of the investment adviser, sub-adviser (where applicable)
and investment objective of each Fund. The Funds have different investment
goals and strategies. You should review the prospectus of each Fund, or seek
professional guidance in determining which Fund(s) best meet your objectives.

(1) Net Total Annual Expenses do not reflect any voluntary waivers of fees and
    expenses, or any expense reductions resulting from directed brokerage
    arrangements.




(2) Our affiliate, Met Investors Advisory LLC ("Met Investors Advisory"), and
    Met Investors Series Trust have entered into an Expense Limitation Agreement
    under which Met Investors Advisory has agreed to waive or limit its fees and
    to assume other expenses so that Net Total Annual Expenses of each Portfolio
    (other than interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures which
    are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
    and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of each
    Portfolio's business) will not exceed, at any time prior to April 30, 2006,
    the following percentages: 1.10% for the Harris Oakmark International
    Portfolio, .90% for the Janus Aggressive Growth Portfolio, .90% for the
    Met/AIM Mid Cap Core Equity Portfolio, 1.05% for the Met/AIM Small Cap
    Growth Portfolio, 1.00% for the MFS Research International Portfolio, .90%
    for the Neuberger Berman Real Estate Portfolio, 1.10% for the RCM Global
    Technology Portfolio and .90% for the T. Rowe Price Mid-Cap Growth
    Portfolio. Under certain circumstances, any fees waived or expenses
    reimbursed by Met Investors Advisory may, with the approval of the Trust's
    Board of Trustees, be repaid to Met Investors Advisory. Expenses of the MFS
    Research International Portfolio have been restated to reflect the terms of
    the Expense Limitation Agreement. Expenses of the Janus Aggressive Growth
    Portfolio, the Lord Abbett Bond Debenture Portfolio and the RCM Global
    Technology Portfolio have been restated to reflect management fee reductions
    that became effective May 1, 2005.

(3) Other Expenses reflect the repayment of fees previously waived and/or
    expenses previously paid by Met Investors Advisory under the terms of prior
    expense limitation agreements in the following amounts: .01% for the Harris

    and/or pay expenses (other than brokerage costs, interest, taxes or
    extraordinary expenses) ("Expenses") attributable to the Class A shares of
    certain Portfolios of the Met Series Fund, so that Net Total Annual Expenses
    will not exceed, at any time prior to April 30, 2006, .95% for the BlackRock
    Large Cap Value Portfolio. Under the agreement, if certain conditions are
    met, the Portfolio may reimburse MetLife Advisers for fees waived and
    Expenses paid if, in the future, actual Expenses are less than this expense
    limit. Under the Expense Agreement, MetLife Advisers will also waive the
    management fee payable by certain Portfolios in the following percentage
    amounts: .006% for the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio, .007%
    for the MetLife Stock Index Portfolio, .007% for the MetLife Mid Cap Stock

    by which the funds' operating expenses exceed 1.05% for the Aggressive
    Equity Fund, .70% for the Core Bond Fund, .87% for the Multi-Style Equity
    Fund and 1.15% for the Non-U.S. Fund, and to reimburse the Funds for all
    remaining expenses, after fee waivers, that exceed these amounts for each
    Fund.

    Worldwide Emerging Markets Fund has contractually agreed to waive fees and
    reimburse certain operating expenses (excluding brokerage fees and expenses,
    transaction fees, interest, dividends paid on securities sold short, taxes
    and extraordinary expenses) to the extent total annual operating expenses
    exceed 1.40% of average daily net assets.

(7) Net Total Annual Expenses reflect a written agreement pursuant to which
    JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. agrees that it will reimburse the Portfolios
    to the extent total annual operating expenses of the Portfolios' Shares
    (excluding interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses) exceed .75% for the
    JP Morgan Bond Portfolio and 1.15% for the JP Morgan Small Company Portfolio
    through April 30, 2006.




CERTAIN PAYMENTS WE RECEIVE WITH REGARD TO THE FUNDS
   An investment adviser (other than our affiliate Met Life Advisers and Met
Investors Advisory) or sub-adviser or its affiliates may compensate us and/or
certain affiliates for administrative or other services relating to the Funds.
The amount of the compensation is not deducted from Fund assets and does not
decrease the Fund's investment return. The amount of the compensation is based
on a percentage of assets of the Fund attributable to the Policies and certain
other variable insurance products that we and our affiliates issue. These
percentages differ and some advisers or sub-advisers (or other affiliates) may
pay us more than others. These percentages currently range up to .11%.
Additionally, an investment adviser or sub-adviser of a Fund or its affiliates
may provide us with wholesaling services that assist in the distribution of the
Policies 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
sub-adviser (or other affiliate) with increased access to persons involved in
the distribution of the Policies.

   We and certain of our affiliated insurance companies are joint owners of our
affiliated investment advisers, MetLife Advisers and Met Investors Advisory,
which are formed as limited liability companies. Our ownership interests
entitle us to profit distributions if the adviser makes a profit with respect
to the management fees it receives from a Fund. We may benefit accordingly from
assets allocated to the Funds to the extent they result in profits to the
advisers. (See "Charges and Deductions -- Annual Fund Operating Expenses" for
information on the management fees paid to the advisers and the Statement of
Additional Information for the Funds for information on the management fees
paid by the adviser to sub-advisers.)

   The American Funds Global Small Capitalization Fund, the American Funds
Growth Fund and the American Funds Growth-Income Fund have adopted a
Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 under
which the Funds make payments to our Distributor, MetLife Investors
Distribution Company, in consideration of services provided and expenses
incurred by our Distributor in distributing the Funds' shares. The payments,
which are equal to 0.25% of the Separate Account assets invested in Funds, are
deducted from the assets of the Funds and decrease the Funds' investment
return. The Distribution Plan is described in more detail in each Fund's
prospectus. (See also "Charges and Deductions -- Annual Fund Operating
Expenses.")

   We pay American Funds Distributors, Inc., principal underwriter for the
American Funds Insurance Series, a percentage of all premiums 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 Policies.

SELECTION OF THE FUNDS

   We select the Funds offered through the Policy based on several 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 compensate us or our affiliates for providing certain
administrative and other services, as described above. We review the Funds
periodically and may remove a Fund or limit its availability to new premium
payments and/or transfers of cash 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 Policy Owners. We do not provide
investment advice and do not recommend or endorse any particular Fund.

                                 POLICY RIGHTS

TRANSFERS

   Frequent requests from Policy Owners to transfer cash value 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 Fund's share price ("arbitrage trading"). Regardless of the existence of




pricing inefficiencies, frequent transfers may also 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
("disruptive trading"). Accordingly, arbitrage trading and disruptive trading
activities (referred to collectively as "market timing") may adversely affect
the long-term performance of the Funds, which may in turn adversely affect
Policy Owners and other persons who may have an interest in the Policies (e.g.,
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., the BlackRock Strategic
Value Portfolio, FI International Stock Portfolio, Morgan Stanley EAFE Index
Portfolio, Russell 2000 Index Portfolio, T. Rowe Price Small Cap Growth
Portfolio, Harris Oakmark International Portfolio, Lord Abbett Bond Debenture
Portfolio, Met/AIM Small Cap Growth Portfolio, VIP Overseas Portfolio, American
Funds Global Small Capitalization Fund, JPMorgan Small Company Stock Portfolio,
Russell Aggressive Equity Fund, Russell Non-U.S. Fund, Van Eck Worldwide
Emerging Markets Fund and Van Eck Worldwide Hard Assets Fund) and we monitor
transfer activity in those Funds (the "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. 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. In addition to monitoring transfer activity in
certain Funds, we rely on the underlying Funds to bring any potential
disruptive trading activity they identify to our attention for investigation on
a case-by-case basis. We will also investigate any other harmful transfer
activity that we identify from time to time. We may revise these policies and
procedures in our sole discretion at any time without prior notice.

   Our policies and procedures may result in transfer restrictions being
applied to deter market timing. Currently, when we detect transfer activity in
the Monitored Portfolios that exceeds our current transfer limits, or other
transfer activity that we believe may be harmful to other Policy Owners or
other persons who have an interest in the Policies, we require all future
transfer requests to or from any Monitored Portfolios or other identified
Portfolios under that Policy to be submitted either (i) in writing with an
original signature or (ii) by telephone prior to 10:00 a.m. If we impose this
restriction on your transfer activity, we will reverse upon discovery any
transaction inadvertently processed in contravention of such restrictions. The
cash value will not be affected by any gain or loss due to the transfer and
your cash value will be the same as if the transfer had not occurred. You will
receive written confirmation of the transactions effecting such reversal.

   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 market timing. Our ability to detect
such transfer activity may be limited by operational and technological systems,
as well as our ability to predict strategies employed by Policy Owners to avoid
such detection. Our ability to restrict such transfer activity may be limited
by provisions of the Policy. We do not accommodate market timing in any Funds
and there are no arrangements in place to permit any Policy Owner to engage in
market timing; we apply our policies and procedures without exception, waiver,
or special arrangement. Accordingly, there is no assurance that we will prevent
all transfer activity that may adversely affect Policy Owners and other persons
with interests in the Policies.

   The Funds may have adopted their own policies and procedures with respect to
frequent purchases and redemptions of their respective shares. 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. Policy
Owners and other persons with interests in the Policies should be aware that we
may not have the contractual obligation or the operational capacity to apply
the frequent trading policies and procedures of the Funds.

   In addition, Policy Owners and other persons with interests in the Policies
should be aware that some Funds may receive "omnibus" purchase and redemption
orders from other insurance companies or intermediaries such as retirement
plans. The omnibus orders reflect the aggregation and netting of multiple
orders from individual owners of variable insurance policies and/or individual
retirement plan participants. The omnibus nature of these orders may limit the
Funds in their ability to apply their frequent trading policies and procedures,
and we cannot guarantee that the Funds (and thus Policy Owners) will not be
harmed by transfer activity relating to the other insurance companies and/or
retirement plans that may invest in the Funds.




   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 market timing activities (even if an entire
omnibus order is rejected due to the market timing activity of a single Policy
Owner). You should read the Fund prospectuses for more details.

                              FEDERAL TAX MATTERS

INTRODUCTION

   The following summary provides a general description of the Federal income
tax considerations associated with the Policy and does not purport to be
complete or to cover all situations. This discussion is not intended as tax
advice. Counsel or other competent tax advisers should be consulted for more
complete information. This discussion is based upon General American's
understanding of the present Federal income tax laws as they are currently
interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service. No representation is made as to
the likelihood of continuation of the present Federal income tax laws or of the
current interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service.

TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY

   In order to qualify as a life insurance contract for Federal income tax
purposes and to receive the tax treatment normally accorded life insurance
contracts under Federal tax law, a Policy must satisfy certain requirements
which are set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. Guidance as to how these
requirements are to be applied is limited, in particular, with respect to joint
and last survivor life insurance policies. Nevertheless, we believe that the
Policies should satisfy the applicable requirements. There is less guidance,
however, with respect to Policies issued on a substandard or guaranteed issue
basis and Policies with term riders added, and it is not clear whether such
policies will in all cases satisfy the applicable requirements, particularly if
the owner pay the full amount of premiums under the Policy. We may take
appropriate steps to bring the Policy into compliance with applicable
requirements, and we reserve the right to restrict Policy transactions in order
to do so. The insurance proceeds payable on the death of the insured will never
be less than the minimum amount required for the Policy to be treated as life
insurance under section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code, as in effect on the
date the Policy was issued.

   In some circumstances, owners of variable contracts who retain excessive
control over the investment of the underlying separate account assets may be
treated as the owners of those assets. Although published guidance in this area
does not address certain aspects of the Policies, we believe that the Owner of
a Policy should not be treated as the owner of the Separate Account assets. We
reserve the right to modify the Policies to bring them into conformity with
applicable standards should such modification be necessary to prevent Owners of
the Policies from being treated as the owners of the underlying Separate
Account assets.

   In addition, the Code requires that the investments of the Separate Account
be "adequately diversified" in order for the Policies to be treated as life
insurance contracts for Federal income tax purposes. It is intended that the
Separate Account, through the Eligible Funds, will satisfy these
diversification requirements.

   The following discussion assumes that the Policy will qualify as a life
insurance contract for Federal income tax purposes.

   1. TAX TREATMENT OF POLICY BENEFITS. In general, the Company believes that
the proceeds and Cash Value increases of a Policy should be treated in a manner
consistent with a fixed-benefit life insurance policy for Federal income tax
purposes. Thus, the death benefit under the Policy should be excludable from
the gross income of the Beneficiary under Section 101(a)(1) of the Code, unless
a transfer for value (generally a sale of the policy) has occurred. Many
changes or transactions involving a Policy may have tax consequences, depending
on the circumstances. Such changes include, but are not limited to, the
exchange of the Policy, a change of the Policy's Face Amount, a Policy Loan, an
additional premium payment, a Policy lapse with an outstanding Policy Loan, a
partial withdrawal, or a surrender of the Policy. The transfer of the Policy or
designation of a Beneficiary may have Federal, state, and/or local transfer and
inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of gift, estate, and
generation-skipping transfer taxes. For example, the transfer of the Policy to,
or the designation as a Beneficiary of, or the payment of proceeds to, a person
who is assigned to a generation which is two or more generations below the
generation assignment of the Owner may have generation skipping transfer tax
consequences under Federal tax law. The individual situation of each Owner or
Beneficiary will determine the extent, if any, to which Federal, state, and
local transfer and inheritance taxes may be imposed and how ownership or
receipt of Policy proceeds will be treated for purposes of Federal, state and
local estate, inheritance, generation skipping and other taxes.

   A Policy may also be used in various arrangements, including non-qualified
deferred compensation or salary continuation plans, split dollar insurance




plans, executive bonus plans, retiree medical benefit plans and others. The tax
consequences of such plans may vary depending on the particular facts and
circumstances of each individual arrangement. Therefore, if you are
contemplating the use of a Policy in any arrangement the value of which depends
in part on its tax consequences, you should be sure to consult a qualified tax
adviser regarding the tax attributes of the particular arrangement.

   Generally, the Owner will not be deemed to be in constructive receipt of the
Policy's Cash Value, including increments thereof, under the Policy until there
is a distribution. Under a complete surrender or lapse of any Policy, if the
amount received plus the amount of outstanding Indebtedness exceeds the total
investments in the Policy, the excess will generally be treated as ordinary
income subject to tax. The tax consequences of other distributions from, and
Policy Loans taken from or secured by, a Policy depend upon whether the Policy
is classified as a "modified endowment contract".

   2. MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS. A policy may be treated as a modified
endowment contract depending upon the amount of premiums paid in relation to
the death benefit provided under such Policy. The premium limitation rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are extremely
complex. In general, however, a Policy will be a modified endowment contract if
the accumulated premiums paid at any time during the first seven Policy Years
exceed the sum of the net level premiums which would have been paid on or
before such time if the Policy provided for paid-up future benefits after the
payment of seven level annual premiums.

   In addition, if a Policy is "materially changed" it may cause such Policy to
be treated as a modified endowment contract. The material change rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are also
extremely complex. In general, however, the determination of whether a Policy
will be a modified endowment contract after a material change generally depends
upon the relationship among the death benefit at the time of such change, the
Cash Value at the time of the change and the additional premiums paid in the
seven Policy Years starting with the date on which the material change occurs.

   Moreover, a life insurance contract received in exchange for a life
insurance contract classified as a modified endowment contract will also be
treated as a modified endowment contract. A reduction in a Policy's benefits
may also cause such Policy to become a modified endowment contract.

   Accordingly, a prospective Owner should contact a competent tax adviser
before purchasing a Policy to determine the circumstances under which the
Policy would be a modified endowment contract. In addition, an Owner should
contact a competent tax adviser before paying any additional premiums or making
any other change to, including an exchange of, a Policy to determine whether
such premium or change would cause the Policy (or the new Policy in the case of
an exchange) to be treated as a modified endowment contract.

NOTE: MOST DESTINY POLICIES WERE MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTACTS FROM THE DATE OF
ISSUE, THEREFORE, DISTRIBUTIONS FROM MOST DESTINY POLICIES ARE TAXED AS FOLLOWS:

   3. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT.
Policies classified as modified endowment contracts will be subject to the
following tax rules: First, all distributions, including distributions upon
surrender, from such a Policy are treated as ordinary income subject to tax up
to the amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Cash Value immediately before
the distribution over the investment in the Policy (described below) at such
time. Second, Policy Loans taken from, or secured by, such a Policy, as well as
due but unpaid interest thereon, are treated as distributions from such a
Policy and taxed accordingly. Third, a 10 percent additional income tax is
imposed on the portion of any distribution from, or Policy Loan taken from or
secured by, such a Policy that is included in income, except where the
distribution or Policy Loan (a) is made on or after the Owner attains age 59
1/2, (b) is attributable to the Owner's becoming disabled, or (c) is part of a
series of substantially equal periodic payments for the life (or life
expectancy) of the Owner or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the
Owner and the Owner's Beneficiary.

   4. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES NOT CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT
CONTRACT. Distributions from Policies not classified as a modified endowment
contracts are generally treated as first recovering the investment in the
Policy (described below) and then, only after the return of all such investment
in the Policy, as distributing taxable income. An exception to this general
rule occurs in the case of a decrease in the Policy's death benefit (possibly
including a partial withdrawal) or any other change that reduces benefits under
the Policy in the first 15 years after the Policy is issued and that results in
cash distribution to the Owner in order for the Policy to continue complying
with the Section 7702 definitional limits. Such a cash distribution will be
taxed in whole or in part as ordinary income (to the extent of any gain in the
Policy) under rules prescribed in Section 7702.

   Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment
contract should generally not be treated as distributions. Instead, such loans
should generally be treated as indebtedness of the Owner. However, because the
tax consequences associated with Policy Loans are not always clear, in
particular, with respect to Policy Loans outstanding after the tenth Policy
year, you should consult a tax adviser prior to taking any Policy Loan.

   Upon a complete surrender or lapse of a Policy that is not a modified
endowment contract, if the amount received plus the amount of indebtedness
exceeds the total investment in the Policy, the excess will generally be treated




as ordinary income subject to tax.
   Neither distributions (including distributions upon surrender or lapse) nor
Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment
contract are subject to the 10 percent additional income tax.

   If a Policy which is not a modified endowment contract subsequently becomes
a modified endowment contract, then any distribution made from the Policy
within two years prior to the date of such change in status may become taxable.

   5. POLICY LOANS. Generally, interest paid on any loan under a life insurance
Policy is not deductible. AN OWNER SHOULD CONSULT A COMPETENT TAX ADVISER IF
THE DEDUCTIBILITY OF LOAN INTEREST IS A CONSIDERATION IN THE PURCHASE OF A
POLICY. If a Policy Loan is outstanding when a Policy is canceled or lapses,
the amount of the outstanding Indebtedness will be added to the amount
distributed and will be taxed accordingly.

   6. INTEREST EXPENSE ON UNRELATED INDEBTEDNESS. Under provisions added to the
Code in 1997 for policies issued after June 8, 1997, if a business taxpayer
owns or is the beneficiary of a Policy on the life of any individual who is not
an officer, director, employee, or 20 percent owner of the business, and the
taxpayer also has debt unrelated to the Policy, a portion of the taxpayer's
unrelated interest expense deductions may be lost. No business taxpayer should
purchase, exchange, or increase the death benefit under a Policy on the life of
any individual who is not an officer, director, employee, or 20 percent owner
of the business without first consulting a competent tax adviser.

   7. INVESTMENT IN THE POLICY. Investment in the Policy means (i) the
aggregate amount of any premiums or other consideration paid for a Policy,
minus (ii) the aggregate amount received under the Policy which is excluded
from gross income of the Owner (except that the amount of any Policy Loan from,
or secured by, a Policy that is a modified endowment contract, to the extent
such amount is excluded from gross income, will be disregarded), plus (iii) the
amount of any Policy Loan from, or secured by, a Policy that is a modified
endowment contract to the extent that such amount is included in the gross
income of the Owner.

   8. MULTIPLE POLICES. All modified endowment contracts that are issued by the
Company (or its affiliates) to the same Owner during any calendar year are
treated as one modified endowment contract for purposes of determining the
amount includible in gross income under Section 72(e) of the Code.

   9. LIFE INSURANCE PURCHASES BY NONRESIDENT ALIENS AND FOREIGN CORPORATIONS.
Policy Owners that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally be subject
to U.S. Federal withholding tax on taxable distributions from life insurance
policies at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, Policy
Owners may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes that may be
imposed by the Policy Owner's country of citizenship or residence.

   10. WITHHOLDING. To the extent that Policy distributions are taxable, they
are generally subject to withholding for the recipient's Federal income tax
liability. Recipients can generally elect, however, not to have tax withheld
from distributions.

   11. ESTATE, GIFT AND GENERATION-SKIPPING TRANSFER TAXES. The transfer of the
Policy or the designation of a beneficiary may have Federal, state, and/or
local transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of
gift, estate, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. When the insured dies,
the death proceeds will generally be includable in the Policy Owner's estate
for purposes of the Federal estate tax if the Policy Owner was the insured. If
the Policy Owner was not the insured, the fair market value of the Policy would
be included in the Policy Owner's estate upon the Policy Owner's death. The
Policy would not be includable in the insured's estate if the insured neither
retained incidents of ownership at death nor had given up ownership within
three years before death.

   Moreover, under certain circumstances, the Internal Revenue Code may impose
a "generation-skipping transfer tax" when all or part of a life insurance
policy is transferred to, or a death benefit is paid to, an individual two or
more generations younger than the Policy Owner. Regulations issued under the
Internal Revenue Code may require us to deduct the tax from your Policy, or
from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the IRS.

   Qualified tax advisers should be consulted concerning the estate and gift
tax consequences of Policy ownership and distributions under Federal, state and
local law. The individual situation of each Policy Owner or beneficiary will
determine the extent, if any, to which Federal, state, and local transfer and
inheritance taxes may be imposed and how ownership or receipt of Policy
proceeds will be treated for purposes of Federal, state and local estate,
inheritance, generation-skipping and other taxes.




   The Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 ("EGTRRA")
repeals the Federal estate tax and replaces it with a carryover basis income
tax regime effective for estates of decedents dying after December 31, 2009.
EGTRRA also repeals the generation-skipping transfer tax, but not the gift tax,
for transfers made after December 31, 2009. EGTRRA contains a sunset provision,
which essentially returns the Federal estate, gift and generation-skipping
transfer taxes to their pre-EGTRRA form, beginning in 2011. Congress may or may
not enact permanent repeal between now and then.

   During the period prior to 2010, EGTRRA provides for periodic decreases in
the maximum estate tax rate coupled with periodic increases in the estate tax
exemption. For 2005, the maximum estate tax rate is 47% and the estate tax
exemption is $1,500,000.

   The complexity of the new tax law, along with uncertainty as to how it might
be modified in coming years, underscores the importance of seeking guidance
from a qualified adviser to help ensure that your estate plan adequately
addresses your needs and those of your beneficiaries under all possible
scenarios.

   12. CONTINUATION OF POLICY BEYOND ATTAINED AGE 100. The tax consequences of
continuing the Policy beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100 birthday are
unclear. You should consult a tax adviser if you intend to keep the Policy in
force beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100.

   13. Ownership of the Policy by a corporation, trust or other non-natural
person could jeopardize some (or all) of such entity's interest deduction under
Internal Revenue Code Section 264, even where such entity's indebtedness is in
no way connected to the Policy. In addition, under Section 264(f)(5), if a
business (other than a sole proprietorship) is directly or indirectly a
beneficiary of the Policy, the Policy could be treated as held by the business
for purposes of the Section 264(f) entity-holder rules. Therefore, it would be
advisable to consult with a qualified tax adviser before any non-natural person
is made an owner or holder of the Policy, or before a business (other than a
sole proprietorship) is made a beneficiary of the Policy.

   14. GUIDANCE ON SPLIT DOLLAR PLANS. The IRS has issued guidance on split
dollar insurance plans. A tax adviser should be consulted with respect to this
guidance if your Policy is, or may become, subject to a split dollar insurance
plan. If your Policy is part of an equity split dollar arrangement, there is a
risk that some portion of the Policy cash value may be taxed prior to any
Policy distribution.

   In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act") which was signed
into law on July 30, 2002, prohibits, with exceptions, publicly-traded
companies, including non-U.S. companies that have securities listed on U.S.
exchanges, from extending, directly or indirectly or through a subsidiary, many
types of personal loans to their directors or executive officers. It is
possible that this prohibition may be interpreted to apply to split-dollar life
insurance arrangements for directors and executive officers of such companies,
since such arrangements can arguably be viewed as involving a loan from the
employer for at least some purposes.

   Although the prohibition on loans generally took effect as of July 30, 2002,
there is an exception for loans outstanding as of the date of enactment, so
long as there is no material modification to the loan terms and the loan is not
renewed after July 30, 2002. Any affected business contemplating the payment of
a premium on an existing Policy or the purchase of new Policy in connection
with a split-dollar life insurance arrangement should consult legal counsel.

   15. ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX. There may also be an indirect tax upon the
income in the Policy or the proceeds of a Policy under the Federal corporate
alternative minimum tax, if the Owner is subject to that tax.

   16. PUERTO RICO. We believe that Policies subject to Puerto Rican tax law
will generally receive treatment similar, with certain modifications, to that
described above. Among other differences, Policies governed by Puerto Rican tax
law are not currently subject to the rules described above regarding Modified
Endowment Contracts. You should consult your tax adviser with respect to Puerto
Rican tax law governing the Policies.

   17. POSSIBLE TAX LAW CHANGES. Although the likelihood of legislative




changes is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of
the Policy could change by legislation or otherwise. Consult a tax adviser with
respect to legislative developments and their effect on the Policy.

   18. FOREIGN TAX CREDITS. To the extent permitted under Federal tax law, we
may claim the benefit of certain foreign tax credits attributable to taxes paid
by certain Eligible Funds to foreign jurisdictions.

   19. POSSIBLE CHARGE FOR TAXES. At the present time, the Company makes no
charge to the Separate Account for any Federal, state, or local taxes (as
opposed to Premium Tax Charges which are deducted from premium payments) that
it incurs which may be attributable to such Separate Account or to the
Policies. The Company, however, reserves the right in the future to make a
charge for any such tax or other economic burden resulting from the application
of the tax laws that it determines to be properly attributable to the Separate
Account or to the Policies.

                                 VOTING RIGHTS

   Based on its understanding of current applicable legal requirements, the
Company will vote the shares of the Funds held in the Separate Account at
regular and special shareholder meetings of the mutual funds in accordance with
the instructions received from persons having voting interests in the
corresponding Divisions of the Separate Account. If, however, the 1940 Act or
any regulation thereunder should be amended or if the present interpretation
thereof should change, and as a result the Company determines that it is
permitted to vote shares of the Fund in its own right, it may elect to do so.
No voting privileges apply to the Policies with respect to Cash Value removed
from the Separate Account as a result of a Policy Loan.

   The number of votes which an Owner has the right to instruct will be
calculated separately for each Division. Voting rights reflect the dollar value
of the total number of units of each Division of the Separate Account credited
to the Owner at the record date, rather than the number of units alone.
Fractional shares will be counted. The number of votes of the Fund which the
Owner has the right to instruct will be determined as of the date coincident
with the date established by that Fund for determining shareholders eligible.
Voting instructions will be solicited by written communications prior to such
meeting in accordance with procedures established by the mutual funds.

   The company will vote shares of a Fund for which no timely instructions are
received in proportion to the voting instructions which are received with
respect to that Fund. The Company will also vote any shares of the Funds which
are not attributable to Policies in the same proportion.

   Each person having a voting interest in a Division will receive any proxy
material, reports, and other materials relating to the appropriate Fund.

   DISREGARD OF VOTING INSTRUCTIONS. The Company may, when required by state
insurance regulatory authorities, disregard voting instructions if the
instructions require that the shares be voted so as to cause a change in the
subclassification or investment objective of the Fund or to approve or
disapprove an investment Advisory contract for a Fund. In addition, the Company
itself may disregard voting instructions in favor of changes initiated by an
Owner in the investment policy or the investment adviser or sub-adviser of a
Fund if the Company reasonably disapproves of such changes. A proposed change
would be disapproved only if the proposed change is contrary to state law or
prohibited by state regulatory authorities, or the Company determined that the
change would have an adverse effect on its General Account in that the proposed
investment policy for a Fund may result in overly speculative or unsound
investments. If the Company disregards voting instructions, a summary of that
action and the reasons for such action will be included in the next annual
report to Owners.

                    RESTRICTIONS ON FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS

   Applicable laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering
might, in certain circumstances, require us to reject a premium payment and/or




block or "freeze" your Policy. If these laws apply in a particular situation,
we would not be allowed to process any request for withdrawals, surrenders,
loans or death benefits, make transfers or continue making payments under your
death benefit option until instructions are received from the appropriate
regulator. We also may be required to provide additional information about you
or your Policy to government regulators.

                                 LEGAL MATTERS

   Legal matters in connection with the Policies have been passed upon by Marie
C. Swift, Associate General Counsel of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company.
Sutherland Asbill & Brennan LLP, of Washington, D.C., has provided advice on
certain matters relating to Federal securities laws.

                               LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

   General American, like other insurance companies, is involved in lawsuits,
including class action lawsuits. In some class action lawsuits involving
insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement
payments have been made. In addition, on May 14, 2004, MetLife, Inc. announced
that General American had received a "Wells Notice" from the Securities and
Exchange Commission in connection with an SEC investigation regarding market
timing and late trading in a limited number of its privately-placed variable
insurance contracts. The Wells Notice provides notice that the SEC staff is
considering recommending that the SEC bring a civil action alleging violations
of U.S. securities laws. Under SEC procedures, General American can avail
itself of the opportunity to respond to the SEC staff before it makes a formal
recommendation regarding whether any action alleging violations of the U.S.
securities laws should be considered. General American has responded to the
Wells Notice. General American continues to cooperate fully with the SEC in its
investigation and is not aware of any systemic problems with respect to such
matters. Although the outcome of any litigation or administrative or other
proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, General American does not
believe any such litigation or proceedings will have a materially adverse
impact upon the Separate Account, or upon the ability of MetLife Investors
Distribution Company to perform its contract with the Separate Account, or of
General American to meet its obligations under the Policies.

                      Supplement dated February 15, 2005
                     to the Prospectuses dated May 1, 2000

   General American Life Insurance Company (the "Company") has filed an
application with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") requesting an
order to allow the Company to remove the VIP High Income Portfolio as an
investment option under the Company's variable life insurance policies and to
replace it with the Lord Abbett Bond Debenture Portfolio, which is an existing
investment option under your Policy. Fidelity Management & Research Company is
the adviser to the High Income Portfolio. Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC is the
subadviser to the Lord Abbett Bond Debenture Portfolio.

   The Company believes that the proposed substitution is in the best interest
of policy owners. The Lord Abbett Bond Debenture Portfolio has investment
objectives and policies similar to the VIP High Income Portfolio. The Company
will bear all expenses related to the substitution, and it will have no tax
consequences for you. The Company anticipates that, if such order is granted,
the proposed substitution will occur on or about May 1, 2005.

   Please note that:

   -  No action is required on your part at this time. You will not need to file
      a new election or take any immediate action if the SEC approves the
      substitution.

   -  The elections you have on file for allocating your premium payments and
      your cash value (under the Dollar Cost Averaging or Portfolio Rebalancing
      programs) to the VIP High Income Division will be redirected to the Lord




      Abbett Bond Debenture Division unless you change your elections or
      transfer your cash value before the substitution takes place.

   -  You may transfer your Policy cash value among the investment Divisions and
      the General Account as usual. The substitution itself will not be treated
      as a transfer for purposes of the transfer provisions of your Policy.

   -  You may transfer your Policy cash value in the VIP High Income Division
      (before the substitution) or the Lord Abbett Bond Debenture Division
      (after the substitution) to any other investment Division without charge.

   -  On the effective date of the substitution, your cash value in the
      investment Divisions will be the same as before the substitution. However,
      the number of units you receive in the Lord Abbett Bond Debenture
      Portfolio will be different from the number of your units in the VIP High
      Income Portfolio due to the differences in unit values.

THIS SUPPLEMENT SHOULD BE RETAINED WITH YOUR PROSPECTUS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

   On December 1, 2004, the principal underwriter of the policies, General
American Distributors, Inc. ("GAD"), was acquired by and became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of its affiliate MetLife Investors Group, Inc. Immediately
thereafter, GAD's affiliate, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, was merged
with and into GAD and GAD changed its name to "MetLife Investors Distribution
Company." As a result of the merger, GAD's executive offices have changed to 22
Corporate Plaza, Newport Beach, CA 91108, and its telephone number has changed
to (800) 989-3752. It is not anticipated that the merger will have an impact on
the distribution of the policies or the level of compensation paid in
connection with such distribution. References in the prospectus and the
statement of additional information to the principal underwriter of the
policies shall be deemed to refer to MetLife Investors Distribution Company.

   On May 14, 2004, MetLife, Inc. announced that General American Life
Insurance Company ("General American") had received a "Wells Notice" from the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") in connection with the SEC
investigation described in the prospectuses and the prospectus supplements
regarding market timing and late trading in a limited number of its
privately-placed variable insurance contracts. The "Wells Notice" provides
notice that the SEC staff is considering recommending that the SEC bring a
civil action alleging violations of U.S. securities laws. Under SEC procedures,
General American can avail itself of the opportunity to respond to the SEC
staff before it makes a formal recommendation regarding whether any action
alleging violations of the U.S. securities laws should be considered. General
American continues to cooperate fully with the SEC in its investigation and is
not aware of any systemic problems with respect to such matters. General
American does not believe any such SEC civil action would have an adverse
effect on General American's ability to meet its obligations under the policies.

Transactions and Inquiries

   You may request an account transfer or reallocation of future premiums by
written request (which may be telecopied) to our Administrative Office, by
telephoning us, or over the Internet. To request a transfer or reallocation by
telephone, you should contact your registered representative, or contact us at
(800) 638-9294. To request a transfer or reallocation over the Internet, you
may log on to our website at www.genamerica.com. We use reasonable procedures
to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone, facsimile or Internet
are genuine. Any telephone, facsimile or Internet instructions that we
reasonably believe to be genuine will be your responsibility, including losses
arising from any errors in the communication of instructions. However, because
telephone and Internet transactions may be available to anyone who provides
certain information about you and your Policy, 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, facsimile, and computer systems (including the Internet) may not
always be available. Any telephone, facsimile, or computer system, whether it
is yours, your service provider's, your registered representative's, or ours,
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 by writing to our Administrative Office.

    THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT. The separate account consists of divisions, each of
which corresponds to an underlying Fund. Each division may either make money or
lose money. Therefore if you invest in a division of the separate account, you
may either make money or lose money, depending on the investment experience of
that division. There is no guaranteed rate of return in the separate account.

   The following chart shows the Funds that are available under the policy
along with the name of the investment adviser, sub-adviser (where applicable)
and investment objective of each Fund. The Funds have different investment
goals and strategies. You should review the prospectus of each Fund, or seek
professional guidance in determining which Fund(s) best meet your objectives.

(1) Net Total Annual Expenses do not reflect expense reductions that certain
    Funds achieved as a result of directed brokerage arrangements.

(2) Our affiliate, Met Investors Advisory LLC ("Met Investors Advisory"), and
    Met Investors Series Trust have entered into an Expense Limitation Agreement
    under which Met Investors Advisory has agreed to waive or limit its fees and
    to assume other expenses so that Net Total Annual Expenses of each Portfolio
    (other than interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures which
    are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
    and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of each
    Portfolio's business) will not exceed, at any time prior to April 30, 2005,
    the percentages shown in the table (.95% in the case of the T. Rowe Price
    Mid-Cap Growth Portfolio). Under certain circumstances, any fees waived or
    expenses reimbursed by Met Investors Advisory may, with the approval of the
    Trust's Board of Trustees, be repaid to Met Investors Advisory. Due to
    expense waivers in addition to those shown in the table, actual Net Total
    Annual Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003, for the following
    Portfolios, were: 1.16% for the Harris Oakmark International Portfolio, .89%
    for the Janus Aggressive Growth Portfolio, .93% for the Met/AIM Mid Cap Core
    Equity Portfolio, 1.04% for the Met/AIM Small Cap Growth Portfolio, 1.09%
    for the MFS Research International Portfolio, and .91% for the T. Rowe Price
    Mid-Cap Growth Portfolio.

(3) Other Expenses reflect the repayment by the Portfolios of fees previously
    waived by Met Investors Advisory under the terms of the Expense Limitation
    Agreement, in the following amounts: .03% for the Lord Abbett Bond Debenture
    Portfolio and 0.2% for the PIMCO Total Return Portfolio.

(4) Expenses for the Neuberger Berman Real Estate Portfolio are annualized
    estimates for the year ending December 31, 2004, based on the Portfolio's
    May 1, 2004 start date.

(5) Our affiliate, MetLife Advisers, LLC ("MetLife Advisers"), and the
    Metropolitan Series Fund, Inc. (the "Met Series Fund") have entered into an
    Expense Agreement under which MetLife Advisers will waive management fees
    and/or pay expenses (other than brokerage costs, interest, taxes or
    extraordinary expenses) ("Expenses") attributable to the Class A shares of
    certain Portfolios of the Met Series Fund, so that Net Total Annual Expenses
    of the State Street Research Large Cap Value Portfolio will not exceed, at
    any time prior to April 30, 2005, the percentage shown in the table. Under
    the agreement, if certain conditions are met, MetLife Advisers may be
    reimbursed for fees waived and Expenses paid with respect to the State
    Street Large Cap Value Portfolio if, in the future, actual Expenses of this
    Portfolio are less than the expense limit.

(6) The Manager of Russell Investment Funds has contractually agreed to waive,
    at least until April 30, 2005, a portion of its management fee for each of
    the Funds, up to the full amount of those fees, and to reimburse each of the
    Funds for all remaining expenses after fee waivers, so that Net Total Annual
    Expenses for each of the Funds will not exceed the percentages shown in the
    table.

(7) For the period May 1, 2004 through April 30, 2005, the Adviser to the
    Worldwide Emerging Markets Fund has contractually agreed to waive fees and
    reimburse certain operating expenses (excluding brokerage fees and expenses,
    transaction fees, interest, dividends paid on securities sold short, taxes
    and extraordinary expenses) to the extent total annual operating expenses
    exceed 1.40% of average daily net assets. Net Total Annual Expenses for the
    Fund have been restated to reflect the terms of this agreement.

   An investment adviser or sub-adviser of a Fund or its affiliates may
compensate General American and/or certain affiliates for administrative or
other services relating to the Funds. The amount of this compensation is based
on a percentage of assets of the Funds attributable to the Policies and certain




other variable insurance products that we and our affiliates issue. These
percentages vary and some advisers (or other affiliates) may pay us more than
others. These percentages currently range up to 0.50% of assets. We pay
American Funds Distributors, Inc., principal underwriter for the American Funds
Insurance Series, a percentage of all premiums allocated to the American Funds
Growth Fund, the American Funds Growth-Income Fund, and the American Funds
Global Small Capitalization Fund for the services it provides in marketing the
Funds' shares in connection with the Policies. These Funds have adopted a
Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, under
which the Funds make payments to our affiliate, General American Distributors,
Inc., in consideration of services provided and expenses incurred by General
American Distributors, Inc. in distributing the Funds' shares. These payments
equal 0.25% of Separate Account assets invested in the Funds. An affiliate of
General American may also receive brokerage commissions on securities
transactions initiated by an investment adviser.

                                 POLICY RIGHTS

TRANSFERS

   We have policies and procedures that attempt to detect transfer activity
that may adversely affect other Policy Owners or Fund shareholders in
situations where there is potential for pricing inefficiencies or that involve
relatively large single or grouped transactions by one or more Policy Owners
(i.e., market timing). We employ various means to try to detect such transfer
activity, such as periodically examining the number of transfers and/or the
number of "round trip" transfers into and out of particular Divisions made by
Policy Owners within given periods of time and/or investigating transfer
activity identified by us or the Funds on a case-by-case basis. We may revise
these policies and procedures in our sole discretion at any time without prior
notice.

   The detection and deterrence of harmful transfer activity involves judgments
that are inherently subjective. Our ability to detect such transfer activity
may be limited by operational and technological systems, as well as our ability
to predict strategies employed by Policy Owners to avoid such detection. Our
ability to restrict such transfer activity may be limited by provisions of the
Policy. We apply our policies and procedures without exception, waiver, or
special arrangement, although we may vary our policies and procedures among our
variable policies and Divisions and may be more restrictive with regard to
certain policies or Divisions than others. Accordingly, there is no assurance
that we will prevent all transfer activity that may adversely affect Policy
Owners or Fund shareholders. In addition, we cannot guarantee that the Funds
will not be harmed by transfer activity related to other insurance companies
and/or retirement plans that may invest in the Funds.

   Our policies and procedures may result in restrictions being applied to
Policy Owners. These restrictions may include:

    -  requiring you to send us by U.S. mail a signed, written request to make
       transfers;

    -  establishing an earlier submission time for telephone, facsimile, and
       Internet requests than for written requests, or suspending the right to
       make such requests altogether;

    -  limiting the number of transfers you may make each Policy Year;

    -  charging a transfer fee or collecting a fund redemption fee;

    -  denying a transfer request from an authorized third party acting on
       behalf of multiple Policy Owners; and

    -  imposing other limitations and modifications where we determine that
       exercise of the transfer privilege may create a disadvantage to other
       Policy Owners.




If restrictions are imposed on a Policy Owner, we will reverse upon discovery
any transaction inadvertently processed in contravention of such restrictions.

   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 market timing activities. You should read the
Fund prospectuses for more details.

                              FEDERAL TAX MATTERS

INTRODUCTION

   The following summary provides a general description of the Federal income
tax considerations associated with the Policy and does not purport to be
complete or to cover all situations. This discussion is not intended as tax
advice. Counsel or other competent tax advisers should be consulted for more
complete information. This discussion is based upon General American's
understanding of the present Federal income tax laws as they are currently
interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service. No representation is made as to
the likelihood of continuation of the present Federal income tax laws or of the
current interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service.

TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY

   In order to qualify as a life insurance contract for Federal income tax
purposes and to receive the tax treatment normally accorded life insurance
contracts under Federal tax law, a Policy must satisfy certain requirements
which are set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. Guidance as to how these
requirements are to be applied is limited, in particular, with respect to joint
and last survivor life insurance policies. Nevertheless, we believe that the
Policies should satisfy the applicable requirements. There is less guidance,
however, with respect to Policies issued on a substandard or guaranteed issue
basis and Policies with term riders added, and it is not clear whether such
policies will in all cases satisfy the applicable requirements, particularly if
the owner pay the full amount of premiums under the Policy. We may take
appropriate steps to bring the Policy into compliance with applicable
requirements, and we reserve the right to restrict Policy transactions in order
to do so. The insurance proceeds payable on the death of the insured will never
be less than the minimum amount required for the Policy to be treated as life
insurance under section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code, as in effect on the
date the Policy was issued.

    In some circumstances, owners of variable contracts who retain excessive
control over the investment of the underlying separate account assets may be
treated as the owners of those assets. Although published guidance in this area
does not address certain aspects of the Policies, we believe that the Owner of a
Policy should not be treated as the owner of the Separate Account assets. We
reserve the right to modify the Policies to bring them into conformity with
applicable standards should such modification be necessary to prevent Owners of
the Policies from being treated as the owners of the underlying Separate Account
assets.

   In addition, the Code requires that the investments of the Separate Account
be "adequately diversified" in order for the Policies to be treated as life
insurance contracts for Federal income tax purposes. It is intended that the
Separate Account, through the Eligible Funds, will satisfy these
diversification requirements.

   The following discussion assumes that the Policy will qualify as a life
insurance contract for Federal income tax purposes.

   1. TAX TREATMENT OF POLICY BENEFITS. In general, the Company believes that
the proceeds and Cash Value increases of a Policy should be treated in a manner
consistent with a fixed-benefit life insurance policy for Federal income tax
purposes. Thus, the death benefit under the Policy should be excludable from
the gross income of the Beneficiary under Section 101(a)(1) of the Code, unless
a transfer for value (generally a sale of the policy) has occurred. Many
changes or transactions involving a Policy may have tax consequences, depending
on the circumstances. Such changes include, but are not limited to, the
exchange of the Policy, a change of the Policy's Face Amount, a Policy Loan, an
additional premium payment, a Policy lapse with an outstanding Policy Loan, a
partial withdrawal, or a surrender of the Policy. The transfer of the Policy or
designation of a Beneficiary may have Federal, state, and/or local transfer and
inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of gift, estate, and
generation-skipping transfer taxes. For example, the transfer of the Policy to,
or the designation as a Beneficiary of, or the payment of proceeds to, a person
who is assigned to a generation which is two or more generations below the




generation assignment of the Owner may have generation skipping transfer tax
consequences under Federal tax law. The individual situation of each Owner or
Beneficiary will determine the extent, if any, to which Federal, state, and
local transfer and inheritance taxes may be imposed and how ownership or
receipt of Policy proceeds will be treated for purposes of Federal, state and
local estate, inheritance, generation skipping and other taxes.

   A Policy may also be used in various arrangements, including non-qualified
deferred compensation or salary continuation plans, split dollar insurance
plans, executive bonus plans, retiree medical benefit plans and others. The tax
consequences of such plans may vary depending on the particular facts and
circumstances of each individual arrangement. Therefore, if you are
contemplating the use of a Policy in any arrangement the value of which depends
in part on its tax consequences, you should be sure to consult a qualified tax
adviser regarding the tax attributes of the particular arrangement.

   Generally, the Owner will not be deemed to be in constructive receipt of the
Policy's Cash Value, including increments thereof, under the Policy until there
is a distribution. Under a complete surrender or lapse of any Policy, if the
amount received plus the amount of outstanding Indebtedness exceeds the total
investments in the Policy, the excess will generally be treated as ordinary
income subject to tax. The tax consequences of other distributions from, and
Policy Loans taken from or secured by, a Policy depend upon whether the Policy
is classified as a "modified endowment contract".

   2. MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS. A policy may be treated as a modified
endowment contract depending upon the amount of premiums paid in relation to
the death benefit provided under such Policy. The premium limitation rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are extremely
complex. In general, however, a Policy will be a modified endowment contract if
the accumulated premiums paid at any time during the first seven Policy Years
exceed the sum of the net level premiums which would have been paid on or
before such time if the Policy provided for paid-up future benefits after the
payment of seven level annual premiums.

   In addition, if a Policy is "materially changed" it may cause such Policy to
be treated as a modified endowment contract. The material change rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are also
extremely complex. In general, however, the determination of whether a Policy
will be a modified endowment contract after a material change generally depends
upon the relationship among the death benefit at the time of such change, the
Cash Value at the time of the change and the additional premiums paid in the
seven Policy Years starting with the date on which the material change occurs.

   Moreover, a life insurance contract received in exchange for a life
insurance contract classified as a modified endowment contract will also be
treated as a modified endowment contract. A reduction in a Policy's benefits
may also cause such Policy to become a modified endowment contract.

   Accordingly, a prospective Owner should contact a competent tax adviser
before purchasing a Policy to determine the circumstances under which the
Policy would be a modified endowment contract. In addition, an Owner should
contact a competent tax adviser before paying any additional premiums or making
any other change to, including an exchange of, a Policy to determine whether
such premium or change would cause the Policy (or the new Policy in the case of
an exchange) to be treated as a modified endowment contract.

NOTE: MOST DESTINY POLICIES WERE MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTACTS FROM THE DATE OF
ISSUE, THEREFORE, DISTRIBUTIONS FROM MOST DESTINY POLICIES ARE TAXED AS FOLLOWS:

   3. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT.
Policies classified as modified endowment contracts will be subject to the
following tax rules: First, all distributions, including distributions upon
surrender, from such a Policy are treated as ordinary income subject to tax up
to the amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Cash Value immediately before
the distribution over the investment in the Policy (described below) at such
time. Second, Policy Loans taken from, or secured by, such a Policy, as well as
due but unpaid interest thereon, are treated as distributions from such a
Policy and taxed accordingly. Third, a 10 percent additional income tax is
imposed on the portion of any distribution from, or Policy Loan taken from or
secured by, such a Policy that is included in income, except where the
distribution or Policy Loan (a) is made on or after the Owner attains age 59
1/2, (b) is attributable to the Owner's becoming disabled, or (c) is part of a
series of substantially equal periodic payments for the life (or life
expectancy) of the Owner or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the
Owner and the Owner's Beneficiary.

   4. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES NOT CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT
CONTRACT. Distributions from Policies not classified as a modified endowment
contracts are generally treated as first recovering the investment in the
Policy (described below) and then, only after the return of all such investment
in the Policy, as distributing taxable income. An exception to this general
rule occurs in the case of a decrease in the Policy's death benefit (possibly
including a partial withdrawal) or any other change that reduces benefits under
the Policy in the first 15 years after the Policy is issued and that results in
cash distribution to the Owner in order for the Policy to continue complying
with the Section 7702 definitional limits. Such a cash distribution will be
taxed in whole or in part as ordinary income (to the extent of any gain in the
Policy) under rules prescribed in Section 7702.

   Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment




contract should generally not be treated as distributions. Instead, such loans
should generally be treated as indebtedness of the Owner. However, because the
tax consequences associated with Policy Loans are not always clear, in
particular, with respect to Policy Loans outstanding after the tenth Policy
year, you should consult a tax adviser prior to taking any Policy Loan.

   Upon a complete surrender or lapse of a Policy that is not a modified
endowment contract, if the amount received plus the amount of indebtedness
exceeds the total investment in the Policy, the excess will generally be
treated as ordinary income subject to tax.

   Neither distributions (including distributions upon surrender or lapse) nor
Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment
contract are subject to the 10 percent additional income tax.

   If a Policy which is not a modified endowment contract subsequently becomes
a modified endowment contract, then any distribution made from the Policy
within two years prior to the date of such change in status may become taxable.

   5. POLICY LOANS. Generally, interest paid on any loan under a life insurance
Policy is not deductible. AN OWNER SHOULD CONSULT A COMPETENT TAX ADVISER IF
THE DEDUCTIBILITY OF LOAN INTEREST IS A CONSIDERATION IN THE PURCHASE OF A
POLICY. If a Policy Loan is outstanding when a Policy is canceled or lapses,
the amount of the outstanding Indebtedness will be added to the amount
distributed and will be taxed accordingly.

   6. INTEREST EXPENSE ON UNRELATED INDEBTEDNESS. Under provisions added to the
Code in 1997 for policies issued after June 8, 1997, if a business taxpayer
owns or is the beneficiary of a Policy on the life of any individual who is not
an officer, director, employee, or 20 percent owner of the business, and the
taxpayer also has debt unrelated to the Policy, a portion of the taxpayer's
unrelated interest expense deductions may be lost. No business taxpayer should
purchase, exchange, or increase the death benefit under a Policy on the life of
any individual who is not an officer, director, employee, or 20 percent owner
of the business without first consulting a competent tax adviser.

   7. INVESTMENT IN THE POLICY. Investment in the Policy means (i) the
aggregate amount of any premiums or other consideration paid for a Policy,
minus (ii) the aggregate amount received under the Policy which is excluded
from gross income of the Owner (except that the amount of any Policy Loan from,
or secured by, a Policy that is a modified endowment contract, to the extent
such amount is excluded from gross income, will be disregarded), plus (iii) the
amount of any Policy Loan from, or secured by, a Policy that is a modified
endowment contract to the extent that such amount is included in the gross
income of the Owner.

   8. MULTIPLE POLICES. All modified endowment contracts that are issued by the
Company (or its affiliates) to the same Owner during any calendar year are
treated as one modified endowment contract for purposes of determining the
amount includible in gross income under Section 72(e) of the Code.

   9. WITHHOLDING. To the extent that Policy distributions are taxable, they
are generally subject to withholding for the recipient's Federal income tax
liability. Recipients can generally elect, however, not to have tax withheld
from distributions.

   10. CONTINUATION OF POLICY BEYOND ATTAINED AGE 100. The tax consequences of
continuing the Policy beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100 birthday are
unclear. You should consult a tax adviser if you intend to keep the Policy in
force beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100.

   11. NEW GUIDANCE ON SPLIT DOLLAR PLANS. The IRS has recently issued guidance
on split dollar insurance plans. A tax adviser should be consulted with respect
to this new guidance if your Policy is, or may become, subject to a split
dollar insurance plan. If your Policy is part of an equity split dollar
arrangement, there is a risk that some portion of the Policy cash value may be
taxed prior to any Policy distribution.

   In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act") which was signed
into law on July 30, 2002, prohibits, with exceptions, publicly-traded
companies, including non-U.S. companies that have securities listed on U.S.
exchanges, from extending, directly or indirectly or through a subsidiary, many
types of personal loans to their directors or executive officers. It is
possible that this prohibition may be interpreted to apply to split-dollar life
insurance arrangements for directors and executive officers of such companies,
since such arrangements can arguably be viewed as involving a loan from the
employer for at least some purposes.

   Although the prohibition on loans generally took effect as of July 30, 2002,
there is an exception for loans outstanding as of the date of enactment, so
long as there is no material modification to the loan terms and the loan is not
renewed after July 30, 2002. Any affected business contemplating the payment of
a premium on an existing Policy or the purchase of new Policy in connection
with a split-dollar life insurance arrangement should consult legal counsel.

   12. ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX. There may also be an indirect tax upon the
income in the Policy or the proceeds of a Policy under the Federal corporate
alternative minimum tax, if the Owner is subject to that tax.

   13. PUERTO RICO. We believe that Policies subject to Puerto Rican tax law
will generally receive treatment similar, with certain modifications, to that
described above. Among other differences, Policies governed by Puerto Rican tax




law are not currently subject to the rules described above regarding Modified
Endowment Contracts. You should consult your tax adviser with respect to Puerto
Rican tax law governing the Policies.

   14. POSSIBLE TAX LAW CHANGES. Although the likelihood of legislative changes
is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the
Policy could change by legislation or otherwise. Consult a tax adviser with
respect to legislative developments and their effect on the Policy.

   15. FOREIGN TAX CREDITS. To the extent permitted under Federal tax law, we
may claim the benefit of certain foreign tax credits attributable to taxes paid
by certain Eligible Funds to foreign jurisdictions.

   16. POSSIBLE CHARGE FOR TAXES. At the present time, the Company makes no
charge to the Separate Account for any Federal, state, or local taxes (as
opposed to Premium Tax Charges which are deducted from premium payments) that
it incurs which may be attributable to such Separate Account or to the
Policies. The Company, however, reserves the right in the future to make a
charge for any such tax or other economic burden resulting from the application
of the tax laws that it determines to be properly attributable to the Separate
Account or to the Policies.

                                 VOTING RIGHTS

   Based on its understanding of current applicable legal requirements, the
Company will vote the shares of the Funds held in the Separate Account at
regular and special shareholder meetings of the mutual funds in accordance with
the instructions received from persons having voting interests in the
corresponding Divisions of the Separate Account. If, however, the 1940 Act or
any regulation thereunder should be amended or if the present interpretation
thereof should change, and as a result the Company determines that it is
permitted to vote shares of the Fund in its own right, it may elect to do so.
No voting privileges apply to the Policies with respect to Cash Value removed
from the Separate Account as a result of a Policy Loan.

   The number of votes which an Owner has the right to instruct will be
calculated separately for each Division. Voting rights reflect the dollar value
of the total number of units of each Division of the Separate Account credited
to the Owner at the record date, rather than the number of units alone.
Fractional shares will be counted. The number of votes of the Fund which the
Owner has the right to instruct will be determined as of the date coincident
with the date established by that Fund for determining shareholders eligible.
Voting instructions will be solicited by written communications prior to such
meeting in accordance with procedures established by the mutual funds.

   The company will vote shares of a Fund for which no timely instructions are
received in proportion to the voting instructions which are received with
respect to that Fund. The Company will also vote any shares of the Funds which
are not attributable to Policies in the same proportion.

   Each person having a voting interest in a Division will receive any proxy
material, reports, and other materials relating to the appropriate Fund.

   DISREGARD OF VOTING INSTRUCTIONS. The Company may, when required by state
insurance regulatory authorities, disregard voting instructions if the
instructions require that the shares be voted so as to cause a change in the
subclassification or investment objective of the Fund or to approve or
disapprove an investment Advisory contract for a Fund. In addition, the Company
itself may disregard voting instructions in favor of changes initiated by an
Owner in the investment policy or the investment adviser or sub-adviser of a




Fund if the Company reasonably disapproves of such changes. A proposed change
would be disapproved only if the proposed change is contrary to state law or
prohibited by state regulatory authorities, or the Company determined that the
change would have an adverse effect on its General Account in that the proposed
investment policy for a Fund may result in overly speculative or unsound
investments. If the Company disregards voting instructions, a summary of that
action and the reasons for such action will be included in the next annual
report to Owners.

                    RESTRICTIONS ON FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS

   Applicable laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering
might, in certain circumstances, require us to reject a premium payment and/or
block or "freeze" your Policy. If these laws apply in a particular situation,
we would not be allowed to process any request for withdrawals, surrenders,
loans or death benefits, make transfers or continue making payments under your
death benefit option until instructions are received from the appropriate
regulator. We also may be required to provide additional information about you
or your Policy to government regulators.

                                 LEGAL MATTERS

   Legal matters in connection with the Policies have been passed upon by Marie
C. Swift, Associate General Counsel of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company.
Sutherland Asbill & Brennan LLP, of Washington, D.C., has provided advice on
certain matters relating to Federal securities laws.

                               LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

   General American, like other insurance companies, is involved in lawsuits,
including class action lawsuits. In some class action lawsuits involving
insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement
payments have been made. Although the outcome of any litigation cannot be
predicted with certainty, General American believes that, as of the date of
this prospectus supplement, there are no pending or threatened lawsuits that
will have a materially adverse impact on it, the Separate Account or General
American Distributors, Inc.

   Regulatory bodies have contacted General American and have requested
information relating to market timing and late trading of mutual funds and
variable insurance products. General American believes that these inquiries are
similar to those made to many financial service companies as part of an
industry-wide investigation by various regulatory agencies into the practices,
policies and procedures relating to trading in mutual fund shares. The SEC has
commenced an investigation with respect to market timing and late trading in a
limited number of privately-placed variable insurance contracts that were sold
through General American. We are in the process of responding and are fully
cooperating with regard to these information requests and investigations.
General American at the present time is not aware of any systemic problems with
respect to such matters that may have a material adverse effect on General
American's financial position.

                       SUPPLEMENT DATED JANUARY 16, 2004
                     TO THE PROSPECTUSES DATED MAY 1, 2000

   General American Life Insurance Company (the "Company") has filed an
application with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") requesting an
order to allow the Company to remove certain investment options (the "Existing
Funds") under its variable life insurance policies and to substitute new
options ("Replacement Funds") as shown below.

   The Company believes that the proposed substitutions are in the best
interest of policy holders. In each case, the Replacement Fund will have at
least similar investment objectives and policies as the Existing Fund. The
Company will bear all expenses related to the substitutions, and they will have
no tax consequences for you. The Company anticipates that, if such order is
granted, the proposed substitutions will occur on or about May 1, 2004.

   The proposed substitutions and respective advisers and/or sub-advisers are:

   EXISTING FUND AND CURRENT ADVISER       REPLACEMENT FUND AND SUBADVISER
 VP Income and Growth Fund            Lord Abbett Growth and Income
 (American Century Investment         Portfolio
 Management, Inc.)                    (Lord Abbett & Co. LLC) ("Lord
                                      Abbett")
 ("American Century")                 MFS Research International Portfolio
 VP International Fund                (Massachusetts Financial Services Company)
 (American Century)
 VP Value Fund                        ("MFS")
 (American Century)                   Lord Abbett Mid-Cap Value Portfolio
 VIP Asset Manager Portfolio          (Lord Abbett)
 (Fidelity Management & Research      MFS Total Return Portfolio
 Company)                             (MFS)






Please note that:
-  No action is required on your part at this time. You will not need to file a
   new election or take any immediate action if the SEC approves the
   substitution.

-  The elections you have on file for allocating your premium payments, or your
   cash value under the Dollar Cost Averaging or Premium Rebalancing programs,
   will be redirected to the Replacement Funds unless you change your elections
   or transfer your cash value before the substitutions takes place.

-  You may transfer your Policy cash value among the investment Divisions and
   the General Account as usual. The substitutions themselves will not be
   treated as transfers for purposes of the transfer provisions of your Policy.

-  You may transfer your Policy cash value in the Existing Funds (before the
   substitution) or the Replacement Funds (after the substitution) to any other
   investment Division without charge.

-  On the effective date of the substitutions, your cash value in the
   investment Divisions will be the same as before the substitution. However,
   the number of units you are credited in the Replacement Funds will be
   different from the number of units in the Existing Funds due to the
   differences in unit values.

   THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT. The separate account consists of divisions, each of
which corresponds to an underlying Fund. Each division may either make money or
lose money. Therefore if you invest in a division of the separate account, you
may either make money or lose money, depending on the investment experience of
that division. There is no guaranteed rate of return in the separate account.

   The following chart shows the Funds that are available under the policy
along with the name of the investment adviser, sub-adviser (where applicable)
and investment objective of each Fund. The Funds have different investment
goals and strategies. You should review the prospectus of each Fund, or seek
professional guidance in determining which Fund(s) best meet your objectives.

    reorganization had no effect on the investment objectives, policies or
    advisory fees of any Series, nor was there any change in investment adviser
    or sub-adviser for any Series.
(5) Davis Selected Advisers, L.P. may also delegate any of its responsibilities
    to Davis Selected Advisers--NY, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary.
(6) An investment in the State Street Research Money Market Portfolio is not
    insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any
    other government agency. Although the Portfolio seeks to maintain a net
    asset value of $100 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in
    the Portfolio. During extended periods of low interest rates, the yields of
    the Division investing in the Money Market Portfolio may become extremely
    low and possibly negative.
(7) The SEI Insurance Products Trust will cease operation and all Funds will




   close and be liquidated on August 29, 2003.

(1) American Century Variable Portfolios, Inc. has entered into a Management
    Agreement with American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) under
    which ACIM provides investment advisory and management services in exchange
    for a single, unified management fee per class. The Agreement provides that
    ACIM will pay all expenses of the Funds other than brokerage commissions,
    taxes, interest, fees and expenses of those directors who are not considered
    "interested persons" and extraordinary expenses. For the Income & Growth
    Fund the fee is .70% of average net assets. For the International Fund, the
    fee is equal to the following percentages of average net assets: 1.50% of
    the first $250 million, 1.20% of the next $250 million and 1.10% on balances
    above $500 million. For the Value Fund the fee is equal to the following
    percentages of average net assets: 1.00% of the first $500 million, .95% of
    the next $500 million and .90% on balances over $1 billion.

(2) Pursuant to an Administration Agreement between JP Morgan Chase Bank (the
    "Administrator") and the Portfolios, the Administrator will reimburse the
    Portfolios if Other Expenses exceed .45% of the average daily net assets of
    the Bond Portfolio and .55% of the average daily net assets of the Small
    Company Portfolio.

(3) Net Total Annual Expenses do not reflect certain expense reductions due to
    directed brokerage arrangements. If we included these reductions, Net Total
    Annual Expenses would have been: 1.18% for the Harris Oakmark International
    Portfolio; .82% for the Janus Aggressive Growth Portfolio; .91% for the
    Met/AIM Mid Cap Core Equity Portfolio; 1.03% for the Met/AIM Small Cap
    Growth Portfolio; 1.04% for the PIMCO Innovation Portfolio; and .88% for the
    T. Rowe Price Mid-Cap Growth Portfolio.

(4) Our affiliate, Met Investors Advisory LLC ("Met Investors Advisory"), and
    Met Investors Series Trust have entered into an Expense Limitation Agreement
    under which Met Investors Advisory has agreed to waive or limit its fees and
    to assume other expenses so that Net Total Annual Expenses of each Portfolio
    (other than interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures which
    are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
    and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of each
    Portfolio's business) will not exceed, at any time prior to April 30, 2004,




    the percentages shown in the table. Under certain circumstances, any fees
    waived or expenses reimbursed by Met Investors Advisory may, with the
    approval of the Trust's Board of Trustees, be repaid to Met Investors
    Advisory. Net Total Annual Expenses for the Harris Oakmark International
    Portfolio, the Janus Aggressive Growth Portfolio, the Met/AIM Mid Cap Core
    Equity Portfolio and the T. Rowe Price Mid-Cap Growth Portfolio have been
    restated to reflect the terms of the Expense Limitation Agreement.

(5) Net Total Annual Expenses do not reflect certain expense reductions due to
    directed brokerage arrangements. If we included these reductions, Net Total
    Annual Expenses would have been: .78% for the Davis Venture Value Portfolio;
    .82% for the Harris Oakmark Large Cap Value Portfolio; .77% for the
    Neuberger Berman Partners Mid Cap Value Portfolio; .78% for the State Street
    Research Aggressive Growth Portfolio; .76% for the T. Rowe Price Large Cap
    Growth Portfolio; and .48% for the State Street Research Diversified
    Portfolio.

(6) Our affiliate, MetLife Advisers, LLC ("MetLife Advisers"), and the
    Metropolitan Series Fund, Inc. (the "Met Series Fund") have entered into an
    Expense Agreement under which MetLife Advisers will waive management fees
    and/or pay expenses (other than brokerage costs, interest, taxes or
    extraordinary expenses) ("Expenses") attributable to the Class A shares of
    certain Portfolios of the Met Series Fund, so that Net Total Annual Expenses
    of these Portfolios will not exceed, at any time prior to April 30, 2004,
    the percentages shown in the table. Under the agreement, if certain
    conditions are met, MetLife Advisers may be reimbursed for fees waived and
    Expenses paid with respect to the State Street Large Cap Value Portfolio if,
    in the future, actual Expenses of this Portfolio are less than the expense
    limit. Net Total Annual Expenses for the State Street Research Large Cap
    Value Portfolio have been restated to reflect the terms of the Expense
    Agreement.

(7) The Manager of the Russell Investment Funds has contractually agreed to
    waive, at least until April 30, 2004, a portion of its management fee for
    each of the Funds, up to the full amount of those fees, and to reimburse
    each of the Funds for all remaining expenses after fee waivers, so that Net
    Total Annual Expenses for each of the Funds will not exceed the percentages
    shown in the table. Net Total Annual Expenses for each of the Funds have
    been restated to reflect the terms of this agreement.

(8) Pursuant to a management agreement between the SEI Insurance Products Trust
    and SEI Investments Fund Management (the "Manager"), the Manager will
    provide overall administrative and accounting services and act as transfer
    agent and dividend disbursing agent for an annual fee, all or a portion of
    which it has agreed to waive in order to limit Net Total Annual Expenses of
    the Funds to the percentages shown in the table. Any such waiver is
    voluntary and may be terminated at any time.

(9) Van Eck Associates Corporation has agreed to assume expenses exceeding 1.30%
    of the average daily net assets of the Worldwide Emerging Markets Fund,
    other than interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
    expenses.

   An investment adviser or affiliates thereof may compensate General American
and/or certain affiliates for administrative, distribution, or other services
relating to the Funds. We (or our affiliates) may also be compensated with
12b-1 fees from the Funds. This compensation is based on assets of the Funds
attributable to the Policies and certain other variable insurance products that
we and our affiliates issue. Some Funds or their advisers (or other affiliates)
may pay us more than others, and the amounts paid may be significant. An
affiliate of General American may also receive brokerage commissions on
securities transactions initiated by an investment adviser.

                              FEDERAL TAX MATTERS

INTRODUCTION

   The following summary provides a general description of the Federal income
tax considerations associated with the Policy and does not purport to be
complete or to cover all situations. This discussion is not intended as tax
advice. Counsel or other competent tax advisers should be consulted for more
complete information. This discussion is based upon General American's
understanding of the present Federal income tax laws as they are currently
interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service. No representation is made as to
the likelihood of continuation of the present Federal income tax laws or of the
current interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service.

TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY

   In order to qualify as a life insurance contract for Federal income tax
purposes and to receive the tax treatment normally accorded life insurance
contracts under Federal tax law, a Policy must satisfy certain requirements
which are set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. Guidance as to how these
requirements are to be applied is limited, in particular, with respect to joint
and last survivor life insurance policies. Nevertheless, we believe that the
Policies should satisfy the applicable requirements. There is less guidance,
however, with respect to Policies issued on a substandard or guaranteed issue
basis and Policies with term riders added, and it is not clear whether such
policies will in all cases satisfy the applicable requirements, particularly if
the owner pay the full amount of premiums under




the Policy. We may take appropriate steps to bring the Policy into compliance
with applicable requirements, and we reserve the right to restrict Policy
transactions in order to do so.

   In certain circumstances, owners of variable life insurance contracts have
been considered for Federal income tax purposes to be the owners of the assets
of the variable account supporting their contracts, due to their ability to
exercise investment control over those assets. Where this is the case, the
contract owners have been currently taxed on income and gains attributable to
variable account assets. There is little guidance in this area, and some
features of the Policies, such as the number of available Investment Funds and
the flexibility of a Policy Owner to allocate premiums and cash values, have
not been explicitly addressed in published rulings. While we believe that the
Policies do not give Policy Owners investment control over Separate Account
assets, we reserve the right to modify the Policies as necessary to prevent a
Policy Owner from being treated as the owner of the Separate Account assets
supporting the Policy.

   In addition, the Code requires that the investments of the Separate Account
be "adequately diversified" in order for the Policies to be treated as life
insurance contracts for Federal income tax purposes. It is intended that the
Separate Account, through the Eligible Funds, will satisfy these
diversification requirements.

   The following discussion assumes that the Policy will qualify as a life
insurance contract for Federal income tax purposes.

   1. TAX TREATMENT OF POLICY BENEFITS. In general, the Company believes that
the proceeds and Cash Value increases of a Policy should be treated in a manner
consistent with a fixed-benefit life insurance policy for Federal income tax
purposes. Thus, the death benefit under the Policy should be excludable from
the gross income of the Beneficiary under Section 101(a)(1) of the Code, unless
a transfer for value (generally a sale of the policy) has occurred. Many
changes or transactions involving a Policy may have tax consequences, depending
on the circumstances. Such changes include, but are not limited to, the
exchange of the Policy, a change of the Policy's Face Amount, a Policy Loan, an
additional premium payment, a Policy lapse with an outstanding Policy Loan, a
partial withdrawal, or a surrender of the Policy. The transfer of the Policy or
designation of a Beneficiary may have Federal, state, and/or local transfer and
inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of gift, estate, and
generation-skipping transfer taxes. For example, the transfer of the Policy to,
or the designation as a Beneficiary of, or the payment of proceeds to, a person
who is assigned to a generation which is two or more generations below the
generation assignment of the Owner may have generation skipping transfer tax
consequences under Federal tax law. The individual situation of each Owner or
Beneficiary will determine the extent, if any, to which Federal, state, and
local transfer and inheritance taxes may be imposed and how ownership or
receipt of Policy proceeds will be treated for purposes of Federal, state and
local estate, inheritance, generation skipping and other taxes.

   A Policy may also be used in various arrangements, including non-qualified
deferred compensation or salary continuation plans, split dollar insurance
plans, executive bonus plans, retiree medical benefit plans and others. The tax
consequences of such plans may vary depending on the particular facts and
circumstances of each individual arrangement. Therefore, if you are
contemplating the use of a Policy in any arrangement the value of which depends
in part on its tax consequences, you should be sure to consult a qualified tax
adviser regarding the tax attributes of the particular arrangement.

   Generally, the Owner will not be deemed to be in constructive receipt of the
Policy's Cash Value, including increments thereof, under the Policy until there
is a distribution. Under a complete surrender or lapse of any Policy, if the
amount received plus the amount of outstanding Indebtedness exceeds the total
investments in the Policy, the excess will generally be treated as ordinary
income subject to tax. The tax consequences of other distributions from, and
Policy Loans taken from or secured by, a Policy depend upon whether the Policy
is classified as a "modified endowment contract".

   2. MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS. A policy may be treated as a modified
endowment contract depending upon the amount of premiums paid in relation to
the death benefit provided under such Policy. The premium limitation rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are extremely
complex. In general, however, a Policy will be a modified endowment contract if
the accumulated premiums paid at any time during the first seven Policy Years
exceed the sum of the net level premiums which would have been paid on or
before such time if the Policy provided for paid-up future benefits after the
payment of seven level annual premiums.

   In addition, if a Policy is "materially changed" it may cause such Policy to
be treated as a modified endowment contract. The material change rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are also

extremely complex. In general, however, the determination of whether a Policy
will be a modified endowment contract after a material change generally depends
upon the relationship among the death benefit at the time of such change, the
Cash Value at the time of the change and the additional premiums paid in the
seven Policy Years starting with the date on which the material change occurs.

   Moreover, a life insurance contract received in exchange for a life
insurance contract classified as a modified endowment contract will also be
treated as a modified endowment contract. A reduction in a Policy's benefits
may also cause such Policy to become a modified endowment contract.




   Accordingly, a prospective Owner should contact a competent tax adviser
before purchasing a Policy to determine the circumstances under which the
Policy would be a modified endowment contract. In addition, an Owner should
contact a competent tax adviser before paying any additional premiums or making
any other change to, including an exchange of, a Policy to determine whether
such premium or change would cause the Policy (or the new Policy in the case of
an exchange) to be treated as a modified endowment contract.

NOTE: MOST DESTINY POLICIES WERE MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTACTS FROM THE DATE OF
ISSUE, THEREFORE, DISTRIBUTIONS FROM MOST DESTINY POLICIES ARE TAXED AS FOLLOWS:

   3. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT
CONTRACT. Policies classified as modified endowment contracts will be subject
to the following tax rules: First, all distributions, including distributions
upon surrender, from such a Policy are treated as ordinary income subject to
tax up to the amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Cash Value immediately
before the distribution over the investment in the Policy (described below) at
such time. Second, Policy Loans taken from, or secured by, such a Policy, as
well as due but unpaid interest thereon, are treated as distributions from such
a Policy and taxed accordingly. Third, a 10 percent additional income tax is
imposed on the portion of any distribution from, or Policy Loan taken from or
secured by, such a Policy that is included in income, except where the
distribution or Policy Loan (a) is made on or after the Owner attains age 59
1/2, (b) is attributable to the Owner's becoming disabled, or (c) is part of a
series of substantially equal periodic payments for the life (or life
expectancy) of the Owner or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the
Owner and the Owner's Beneficiary.

   4. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES NOT CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT
CONTRACT. Distributions from Policies not classified as a modified endowment
contracts are generally treated as first recovering the investment in the
Policy (described below) and then, only after the return of all such investment
in the Policy, as distributing taxable income. An exception to this general
rule occurs in the case of a decrease in the Policy's death benefit (possibly
including a partial withdrawal) or any other change that reduces benefits under
the Policy in the first 15 years after the Policy is issued and that results in
cash distribution to the Owner in order for the Policy to continue complying
with the Section 7702 definitional limits. Such a cash distribution will be
taxed in whole or in part as ordinary income (to the extent of any gain in the
Policy) under rules prescribed in Section 7702.

   Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment
contract should generally not be treated as distributions. Instead, such loans
should generally be treated as indebtedness of the Owner. However, because the
tax consequences associated with Policy Loans are not always clear, in
particular, with respect to Policy Loans outstanding after the tenth Policy
year, you should consult a tax adviser prior to taking any Policy Loan.

   Upon a complete surrender or lapse of a Policy that is not a modified
endowment contract, if the amount received plus the amount of indebtedness
exceeds the total investment in the Policy, the excess will generally be
treated as ordinary income subject to tax.

   Neither distributions (including distributions upon surrender or lapse) nor
Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment
contract are subject to the 10 percent additional income tax.

   If a Policy which is not a modified endowment contract subsequently becomes
a modified endowment contract, then any distribution made from the Policy
within two years prior to the date of such change in status may become taxable.

   5. POLICY LOANS. Generally, interest paid on any loan under a life insurance
Policy is not deductible. AN OWNER SHOULD CONSULT A COMPETENT TAX ADVISER IF
THE DEDUCTIBILITY OF LOAN INTEREST IS A CONSIDERATION IN THE PURCHASE OF A
POLICY. If a Policy Loan is outstanding when a Policy is canceled or lapses,
the amount of the outstanding Indebtedness will be added to the amount
distributed and will be taxed accordingly.

   6. INTEREST EXPENSE ON UNRELATED INDEBTEDNESS. Under provisions added to the
Code in 1997 for policies issued after June 8, 1997, if a business taxpayer
owns or is the beneficiary of a Policy on the life of any individual who is not
an officer, director, employee, or 20 percent owner of the business, and the
taxpayer also has debt unrelated to the Policy, a portion of the taxpayer's
unrelated interest expense deductions may be lost. No business taxpayer should
purchase, exchange, or increase the death benefit under a Policy on the life of
any individual who is not an officer, director, employee, or 20 percent owner
of the business without first consulting a competent tax adviser.

   7. INVESTMENT IN THE POLICY. Investment in the Policy means (i) the
aggregate amount of any premiums or other consideration paid for a Policy,
minus (ii) the aggregate amount received under the Policy which is excluded
from gross income of the Owner (except that the amount of any Policy Loan from,
or secured by, a Policy that is a modified endowment contract, to the extent
such amount is excluded from gross income, will be disregarded), plus (iii) the
amount of any Policy Loan from, or secured by, a Policy that is a modified
endowment contract to the extent that such amount is included in the gross
income of the Owner.

   8. MULTIPLE POLICES. All modified endowment contracts that are issued by the
Company (or its affiliates) to the same Owner during any calendar year are
treated as one modified endowment contract for purposes of determining the
amount includible in gross income under Section 72(e) of the Code.




   9. WITHHOLDING. To the extent that Policy distributions are taxable, they
are generally subject to withholding for the recipient's Federal income tax
liability. Recipients can generally elect, however, not to have tax withheld
from distributions.

   10. CONTINUATION OF POLICY BEYOND ATTAINED AGE 100. The tax consequences of
continuing the Policy beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100 birthday are
unclear. You should consult a tax adviser if you intend to keep the Policy in
force beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100.

   11. NEW GUIDANCE ON SPLIT DOLLAR PLANS. The IRS has recently issued guidance
on split dollar insurance plans. A tax adviser should be consulted with respect
to this new guidance if your Policy is, or may become, subject to a split
dollar insurance plan. If your Policy is part of an equity split dollar
arrangement, there is a risk that some portion of the Policy cash value may be
taxed prior to any Policy distribution.

   In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act") which was signed
into law on July 30, 2002, prohibits, with exceptions, publicly-traded
companies, including non-U.S. companies that have securities listed on U.S.
exchanges, from extending, directly or indirectly or through a subsidiary, many
types of personal loans to their directors or executive officers. It is
possible that this prohibition may be interpreted to apply to split-dollar life
insurance arrangements for directors and executive officers of such companies,
since such arrangements can arguably be viewed as involving a loan from the
employer for at least some purposes.

   Although the prohibition on loans generally took effect as of July 30, 2002,
there is an exception for loans outstanding as of the date of enactment, so
long as there is no material modification to the loan terms and the loan is not
renewed after July 30, 2002. Any affected business contemplating the payment of
a premium on an existing Policy or the purchase of new Policy in connection
with a split-dollar life insurance arrangement should consult legal counsel.

   12. ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX. There may also be an indirect tax upon the
income in the Policy or the proceeds of a Policy under the Federal corporate
alternative minimum tax, if the Owner is subject to that tax.

   13. PUERTO RICO. We believe that Policies subject to Puerto Rican tax law
will generally receive treatment similar, with certain modifications, to that
described above. Among other differences, Policies governed by Puerto Rican tax
law are not currently subject to the rules described above regarding Modified
Endowment Contracts. You should consult your tax adviser with respect to Puerto
Rican tax law governing the Policies.

   14. POSSIBLE TAX LAW CHANGES. Although the likelihood of legislative changes
is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the
Policy could change by legislation or otherwise. Consult a tax adviser with
respect to legislative developments and their effect on the Policy.

   15. FOREIGN TAX CREDITS. To the extent permitted under Federal tax law, we
may claim the benefit of certain foreign tax credits attributable to taxes paid
by certain Eligible Funds to foreign jurisdictions.

   16. POSSIBLE CHARGE FOR TAXES. At the present time, the Company makes no
charge to the Separate Account for any Federal, state, or local taxes (as
opposed to Premium Tax Charges which are deducted from premium payments) that it
incurs which may be attributable to such Separate Account or to the Policies.
The Company, however, reserves the right in the future to make a charge for any
such tax or other economic burden resulting from the application of the tax laws
that it determines to be properly attributable to the Separate Account or to the
Policies.

                                 VOTING RIGHTS

   Based on its understanding of current applicable legal requirements, the
Company will vote the shares of the Funds held in the Separate Account at
regular and special shareholder meetings of the mutual funds in accordance with
the instructions received from persons having voting interests in the
corresponding Divisions of the Separate Account. If, however, the 1940 Act or
any regulation thereunder should be amended or if the present interpretation
thereof should change, and as a result the Company determines that it is
permitted to vote shares of the Fund in its own right, it may elect to do so.
No voting privileges apply to the Policies with respect to Cash Value removed
from the Separate Account as a result of a Policy Loan.

   The number of votes which an Owner has the right to instruct will be
calculated separately for each Division. Voting rights reflect the dollar value
of the total number of units of each Division of the Separate Account credited
to the Owner at the record date, rather than the number of units alone.
Fractional shares will be counted. The number of votes of the Fund which the
Owner has the right to instruct will be determined as of the date coincident
with the date established by that Fund for determining shareholders eligible.




Voting instructions will be solicited by written communications prior to such
meeting in accordance with procedures established by the mutual funds.

   The company will vote shares of a Fund for which no timely instructions are
received in proportion to the voting instructions which are received with
respect to that Fund. The Company will also vote any shares of the Funds which
are not attributable to Policies in the same proportion.

   Each person having a voting interest in a Division will receive any proxy
material, reports, and other materials relating to the appropriate Fund.

   DISREGARD OF VOTING INSTRUCTIONS. The Company may, when required by state
insurance regulatory authorities, disregard voting instructions if the
instructions require that the shares be voted so as to cause a change in the
subclassification or investment objective of the Fund or to approve or
disapprove an investment Advisory contract for a Fund. In addition, the Company
itself may disregard voting instructions in favor of changes initiated by an
Owner in the investment policy or the investment adviser or sub-adviser of a
Fund if the Company reasonably disapproves of such changes. A proposed change
would be disapproved only if the proposed change is contrary to state law or
prohibited by state regulatory authorities, or the Company determined that the
change would have an adverse effect on its General Account in that the proposed
investment policy for a Fund may result in overly speculative or unsound
investments. If the Company disregards voting instructions, a summary of that
action and the reasons for such action will be included in the next annual
report to Owners.

                    RESTRICTIONS ON FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS

   Federal laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering by
criminals might, in certain circumstances, require us to reject a premium
payment and/or block or "freeze" your account. If these laws apply in a
particular situation, we would not be allowed to process any request for
withdrawals, surrenders, or death benefits, make transfers or continue making
payments under your death benefit option until instructions are received from
the appropriate regulator. We also may be required to provide additional
information about your account to government regulators.

                                 LEGAL MATTERS

   Legal matters in connection with the Policies have been passed upon by Anne
M. Goggin, Chief Counsel--Individual Business of Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company. Sutherland Asbill & Brennan LLP, of Washington, D.C., has provided
advice on certain matters relating to Federal securities laws.

                               LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

   General American, like other insurance companies, is involved in lawsuits,
including class action lawsuits. In some class action lawsuits involving
insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement
payments have been made. Although the outcome of any litigation cannot be
predicted with certainty, General American believes that, as of the date of
this prospectus supplement, there are no pending or threatened lawsuits that
will have a materially adverse impact on it, the Separate Account or General
American Distributors, Inc.

CHANGES TO GENERAL AMERICAN CAPITAL COMPANY FUNDS

Subadvisory Services. General American Capital Company's Asset
--------------------
Allocation Fund, Managed Equity Fund, Mid-Cap Equity Fund, and Small-Cap Equity
Fund are subadvised by State Street Research & Management. State Street is
responsible for day-to-day portfolio management for these funds.

Investment Objective. The Capital Company's Small-Cap Equity Fund has
--------------------
changed from a passively managed to an actively managed fund. The fund's
investment objective is to provide investors long-term growth of capital. The
fund will invest primarily in small company value stocks.

OPERATING EXPENSES. The Capital Company has lowered the investment
------------------
advisory fee for the S&P 500 Index Fund from an annual rate of 0.25% of assets
to a graduated fee structure that, based on the fund's asset levels at the end
of last year, is 0.0825%. In connection with its change from a passively
managed fund to an actively managed fund, the Small-Cap Equity Fund's
investment advisory fee has increased from an annual rate of 0.25% of assets to
a graduated fee structure that, based on the fund's asset levels at the end of
last year, is 0.75% of assets.

The following chart shows the operating expenses of the funds as reported for
the fiscal year ending December 31, 1999. For the Capital Company's S&P 500
Index Fund and Small-Cap Equity Fund, the chart shows first what the fees would
have been had the current fee structure been in place for 1999, and then shows
the actual fees incurred under the fee structure that was then in effect. The
investment advisory fees for the Capital Company's Managed Equity Fund, Asset
Allocation Fund, and Mid- Cap Equity Fund will change effective January 6,
2002. These scheduled changes are described in the footnotes following the
chart.

   The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its 0.78%
management fee, up to the full amount of that fee, equal to the amount by which
the Fund's total operating expenses exceed 0.92% of the Fund's average daily
net assets on an annual basis, and to reimburse the Fund for all remaining
expenses after fee waivers which exceed 0.92% of average daily net assets on an
annual basis. The management fee waivers and reimbursements are intended to be
in effect for 2000, but may be revised or eliminated at any time thereafter
without notice to shareholders. Absent the waiver, the management fee would
have been 0.78%, and total Fund expenses would have been 0.96% of average daily
net assets.

   The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its 0.95%
management fee, up to the full amount of that fee, equal to the amount by which
the Fund's total operating expenses exceed 1.25% of the Fund's average daily
net assets on an annual basis, and to reimburse the Fund for all remaining
expenses after fee waivers which exceed 1.25% of average daily net assets on an
annual basis. The management fee waivers and reimbursements are intended to be
in effect for 2000, but may be revised or eliminated at any time thereafter
without notice to shareholders. Absent the waiver, the management fee would
have been 0.95%, and total Fund expenses would have been 1.34% of average daily
net assets.

   The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its 0.95%
management fee, up to the full amount of that fee, equal to the amount by which
the Fund's total operating expenses exceed 1.30% of the Fund's average daily
net assets on an annual basis, and to reimburse the Fund for all remaining
expenses after fee waivers which exceed 1.30% of average daily net assets on an
annual basis. The management fee waivers and reimbursements are intended to be
in effect for 2000, but may be revised or eliminated at any time thereafter
without notice to shareholders. Absent the waiver, the management fee would
have been 0.95%, and total Fund expenses would have been 1.50% of average daily
net assets.

   The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its 0.60%
management fee, up to the full amount of that fee, equal to the amount by which
the Fund's total operating expenses exceed 0.80% of the Fund's average daily
net assets on an annual basis, and to reimburse the Fund for all remaining
expenses after fee waivers which exceed 0.80% of average daily net assets on an
annual basis. The management fee waivers and reimbursements are intended to be
in effect for 2000, but may be revised or eliminated at any time thereafter
without notice to shareholders. Absent the waiver, the management fee would
have been 0.60%, and total Fund expenses would have been 0.86% of average daily
net assets.

   The SEI VP Funds' total actual annual fund operating expenses for the
current fiscal year are expected to be less than the maximum amount allowed
because the Adviser will voluntarily waive a portion of its fee in order to
keep total operating expenses at a specified level. The Adviser may discontinue
all or part of its waiver at any time. With this fee waiver, the Funds' actual
total operating expenses are expected to be the amounts shown in the table
above. Absent the fee waiver, the Funds' total operating expenses would be:
Large Cap Value Fund, 0.95%; Large Cap Growth Fund, 1.00%; Small Cap Value
Fund, 1.20%; Small Cap




Growth Fund, 1.20%; International Equity Fund, 1.41%; Emerging Markets Equity
Fund, 2.34%; Core Fixed Income Fund, 0.70%; High Yield Bond Fund, 0.99%;
International Fixed Income Fund, 1.31%; Emerging Markets Debt Fund, 1.95%.

                FLEXIBLE PREMIUM VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE POLICY

                                   Issued by

                    GENERAL AMERICAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
                               700 Market Street
                           St. Louis, Missouri 63101
                                (314) 231-1700

     This Prospectus describes an individual flexible premium variable life
insurance Policy ("the Policy") offered by General American Life Insurance
Company ("General American" or "the Company"). The Policy is designed to
provide lifetime insurance protection and to provide maximum flexibility to
vary premium payments and change the level of death benefits payable under the
Policy. This flexibility allows you to provide for changing insurance needs
under a single insurance policy. You also have the opportunity to allocate Net
Premiums among several investment portfolios with different investment
objectives.

     The Policy provides:

          (1)    a Cash Surrender Value that can be obtained by surrendering
                 the Policy;

          (2)    Policy Loans; and

          (3)    a death benefit payable at the Insured's death.

     As long as a Policy remains in force before the Insured's Attained Age
100, the death benefit will be at least the current Face Amount of the Policy.
A Policy will remain in force as long as its Cash Surrender Value is sufficient
to pay the monthly charges.

     After the end of the "Right to Examine Policy" period, you may allocate
the Net Premiums to one or more of the Divisions of General American Separate
Account Eleven ("the Separate Account") or, in some contracts, to General
American's General Account.

     You will find a list of the Funds in the Separate Account, the fund
managers, and the investment objectives in the Summary on page 2. Note that
investment results in the Separate Account are not guaranteed--you may either
make money or lose money. Depending on investment results, the policy could
lapse or the death benefit could change. The Prospectus of each Fund contains a
full description of the Fund, including the investment policies, restrictions,
risks, and charges. You should receive a Prospectus for each Fund along with
this Prospectus for the Policy.

     In most policies you may also invest all or part of your cash value in the
General Account, which guarantees at least 4% interest.

     It may not be advantageous to purchase a Policy as a replacement for
another type of life insurance or as a means to obtain additional insurance
protection if the purchaser already owns another flexible premium variable life
insurance policy.

                                    SUMMARY

     THROUGHOUT THIS SUMMARY, THE TERMS "YOU" AND "YOUR" REFER TO THE OWNER OF
THE POLICY. THE OWNER MAY OR MAY NOT BE THE PERSON INSURED UNDER THE POLICY.
THE TERMS "WE," "US," AND "OUR" REFER TO GENERAL AMERICAN LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY.

     THE INFORMATION IN THIS SECTION IS JUST A SUMMARY, WRITTEN IN "LAYMEN'S
TERMS" TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THE POLICY. HOWEVER, BOTH YOUR POLICY AND THIS
PROSPECTUS ARE LEGAL DOCUMENTS. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THEM, YOU SHOULD
CONTACT YOUR AGENT OR OTHER COMPETENT PROFESSIONAL ADVISERS.

     IN PREPARING THIS SUMMARY, WE ASSUME THAT THE POLICY IS IN FORCE, AND THAT
YOU HAVE NOT BORROWED ANY OF THE CASH VALUE.

     The Policy. You are purchasing a life insurance policy. Like many life
insurance policies, it has both a death benefit and a cash value. The death
benefit is the amount of money that we will pay to the beneficiary if the
person insured under the policy dies while the policy is in force. The cash
value is the amount of money accumulated in your policy as an investment at any
time. The cash value consists of the premiums you have paid, reduced by the
expenses deducted for operation of the policy, and either increased or
decreased by investment results.

     You have certain rights, including the right to borrow or withdraw money
from the policy's cash value and the right to select the funds in which you
will invest your premiums.

     You have the right to review the policy and decide whether you want to
keep it. If you decide not to keep the policy, you may return it to us or to
your agent during the "Right to Examine Policy Period." This period is
sometimes referred to as the "Free Look Period." It normally ends on the later
of:

          1.     twenty days after you receive the policy or

          2.     forty-five days after you signed the application.

     In some states the period may be longer. Your agent can tell you if this
is the case.

     During the "Right to Examine Policy Period" we will hold any premiums you
have paid in the money market fund. If you return the policy before the end of
the free look period, we will cancel the policy and return any premiums you
have paid. (For policies issued in Kansas, the rules are different. Your agent
can provide you with the details.) (See Policy Rights--Right to Examine Policy.)

     When the "Right to Examine Policy Period" ends, we will deduct any charges
due and transfer the rest of the money (your "net premium") into the investment
funds that you have selected. We will continue to transfer future net premiums
into the investments that you select as soon as we receive the premiums.

     The policy is a "flexible premium" policy. This means that you may, within
limits described below, make premium payments at any time and in any amount you
choose. You do not have to make premium payments according to a fixed schedule,
although you may choose to do so.

                                       1



     There are limits on the amount that you may pay into the policy without
creating tax consequences. If you make a premium payment that exceeds the
limit, we will notify you and offer to refund the excess paid.

     We will deduct certain expenses from your cash value. These expenses are
described below. In addition, your cash value may increase or decrease,
depending on the investment experience of the funds you select. Because it is
possible for your cash value to decrease, you may have to pay additional
premiums in order to keep the policy in force.

     As long as there is enough money in your cash value to pay the monthly
charges, your death benefit will always be at least the face amount of your
policy, minus any amount that you have borrowed from the policy. The face
amount of your policy means the amount of insurance that you have purchased. It
is shown on the specifications page of your policy.

     We will notify you if your cash value is not enough to pay the monthly
charges. If that happens, you will have 62 days to make a premium payment big
enough to bring your cash value up to the amount required to pay the charges.
If you make the premium payment, the policy will stay in force. If you don't,
the policy will lapse, or terminate with no value. (See Payment and Allocation
of Premiums--Policy Lapse and Reinstatement.)

     Investing Your Cash Value. You may tell us to invest your cash value in
either the general account or the separate account, or you may split your cash
value between them.

     The General Account. The general account is an interest-bearing account.
Money in the general account is guaranteed to earn at least 4% interest, and it
may earn more. General American determines the current interest rate from time
to time, and we will notify you in advance of any changes. We have the right to
limit the amount of money that you may put into the general account.

     The Separate Account. The separate account consists of divisions, which
represent different types of investments. Each division may either make money
or lose money. Therefore if you invest in a division of the separate account,
you may either make money or lose money, depending on the investment experience
of that division. There is no guaranteed rate of return in the separate account.

     The divisions of the separate account represent investment funds run by
various investment companies. The investment companies hire advisers to operate
or advise on the day-to-day operation of the funds.

     The following list shows the investment companies whose funds are
available under the policy, along with the managers or advisers and the
divisions that they oversee.

     You may change the investments that you want to use for your future
premiums by notifying our Home Office.

     You may transfer your cash value among the various investment funds, and
you may withdraw money, but there are certain rules. You may only transfer
funds once in a policy month. (A policy month is measured beginning on the same
day of the month that the policy was issued, and ending one day before the same
day in the next month.) The amount transferred from any investment fund must be
at least $500, or the entire balance in the fund if less than $500.

     We have the right to change or eliminate transfers in the future, although
we don't currently intend to do so.

     Charges and Deductions. There are certain costs that we charge you for
issuing your policy and keeping it in force. This section describes those
charges--what they are and what they cover.

     Tax Charge. The Federal government and many states and territories impose
taxes or charges on insurance premiums. We deduct 3.35% from your premium
payment to cover that cost--2.10% for the state tax charge, and 1.25% for the
federal tax charge.

     If we are required by law to pay taxes based on the separate account, we
may charge an appropriate share to policies that invest in the separate
account. (See Federal Tax Matters.)

     Selection and Issue Expense Charge. There is a charge to cover the costs
of underwriting issuing your policy. This charge is based on the size of your
policy. During the first policy year, the charge is $0.16 (sixteen cents) for
each $1,000 of face amount of your policy. Beginning in the second policy year,
and continuing for the life of the policy, the charge drops to $0.01 (one cent)
for each $1,000 of face amount.

     Surrender Charge. If you surrender your policy or let it lapse during the
first fifteen (or fewer, in some cases) policy years, we will keep part of the
cash value to help us recover the costs of selling and issuing the policy. This
charge is called a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC) or, more simply, a
surrender charge.

     This charge generally applies to surrenders that occur during the first
fifteen policy years, but the charge ends sooner for policies issued at some
older ages and in some risk classes.

     The surrender charge is based on a "grading percentage," which is
determined by the age, sex, and risk class of the person insured under the
policy. This "grading percentage" is multiplied by:

     .  40% of the target premium or the premiums actually paid for the base
        policy (the policy itself, without any riders), plus

     .  the "excess premium surrender charge factor" multiplied by premiums
        paid in excess of the target premium.

     You can find the information you need to determine the surrender charge
for your policy on the policy specifications page. There is a section in this
prospectus, beginning on page 39, that explains the charge in greater detail.
This section includes charts that show the how long the surrender charge
applies, the "grading percentage" and the "excess premium surrender charge
factor."

     If you withdraw money from your policy or if you surrender a portion of
your policy, we will charge a pro-rated portion of the surrender charge.

     Of course, if you don't surrender all or part of your policy, or let it
lapse, or withdraw cash from it, then you will not pay a surrender charge.

     If you increase the face amount of your policy, the increase will have its
own surrender charge for the first 10 policy years following the increase.

     (See Policy Rights--Surrender and Partial Withdrawal; Policy
Benefits--Death Benefit; and Charges and Deductions--Contingent Deferred Sales
Charge.)

     Under certain conditions, applied in a uniform and nondiscriminatory
manner, we may reduce the surrender charge. (See Adjustment of Charges.)

                                       8



     Administrative Fee. We charge a monthly fee to cover your policy's
administrative cost. This charge is $13 each month for the first policy year.
Beginning with the second policy year, the charge is $6 each month for the life
of the policy. We will deduct the charge from your cash value each month.

     Cost of Insurance. Because this is a life insurance policy, it has a death
benefit. We charge an insurance cost each month to cover the risk that you will
die and we will have to pay the death benefit.

     The amount of this charge varies with the age, sex, risk class of the
person insured under the policy, and the amount of the death benefit at
risk--if the risk of death or the amount of the death benefit is greater, then
the cost of insurance is also greater. We deduct the cost of insurance from
your cash value each month.

     We make another charge to cover mortality and expense risks under the
Policy. We calculate this charge based on a percentage of the net assets in
each division of the separate account. Rather than deducting the charge from
the cash value, we apply the charge by adjusting the net rate of return in the
separate account. We guarantee that the charge will not exceed an annual rate
of 0.90% of the net separate account assets. (See Charges and
Deductions--Separate Account Charges.)

     We pay the operating expenses of the separate account. The investment
funds pay for their own operating expenses and investment fees. For a
description of these charges, see Charges and Deductions--Separate Account
Charges.

     The following chart shows the operating expenses of the funds as reported
for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1999:

----------------
(1)  The Fund expenses shown above are collected from the underlying Fund, and
     are not direct charges against the Separate Account assets or reductions
     from the Policy's Cash Value. These underlying Fund Expenses are taken
     into consideration in computing each Fund's net asset value, which is used
     to calculate the unit values in the Separate Account. The management fees
     and other expenses are more fully described in the prospectus of each
     individual Fund. The information relating to the Fund expenses was
     provided by the Fund and was not independently verified by General
     American. Except as otherwise specifically noted, the management fees and
     other expenses are not currently subject to fee waivers or expense
     reimbursements.
(2)  The fees charged by the International Index Fund are stated as a series of
     annual percentages of the average daily value of the net assets of the
     Funds. The percentages decrease with respect to assets of the Fund above
     certain amounts, as follows: First $10 million, 0.50%; Next $20 million,
     0.40%; Balance over $20 million, 0.30%.
(3)  The fees charged by the Mid-Cap Equity Fund are stated as a series of
     annual percentages of the average daily value of the net assets of the
     Funds. The percentages decrease with respect to assets of the Fund above
     certain amounts, as follows: First $10 million, 0.55%; Next $10 million,
     0.45%; Balance over $20 million, 0.40%.
(4)  The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its 0.78%
     management fee, up to the full amount of that fee, equal to the amount by
     which the Fund's total operating expenses exceed 0.92% of the Fund's
     average daily net assets on an annual basis, and to reimburse the Fund for
     all remaining expenses after fee waivers which exceed 0.92% of average
     daily net assets on an annual basis. The management fee waivers and
     reimbursements are intended to be in effect for 2000, but may be revised
     or eliminated at any time thereafter without notice to shareholders.
     Absent the waiver, the management fee would have been 0.78%, and total
     Fund expenses would have been 0.96% of average daily net assets.
(5)  The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its 0.95%
     management fee, up to the full amount of that fee, equal to the amount by
     which the Fund's total operating expenses exceed 1.25% of the Fund's
     average daily net assets on an annual basis, and to reimburse the Fund for
     all remaining expenses after fee waivers which exceed 1.25% of average
     daily net assets on an annual basis. The management fee waivers and
     reimbursements are intended to be in effect for 2000, but may be revised
     or eliminated at any time thereafter without notice to shareholders.
     Absent the waiver, the management fee would have been 0.95%, and total
     Fund expenses would have been 1.34% of average daily net assets.

                                      10



(6)  The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its 0.95%
     management fee, up to the full amount of that fee, equal to the amount by
     which the Fund's total operating expenses exceed 1.30% of the Fund's
     average daily net assets on an annual basis, and to reimburse the Fund for
     all remaining expenses after fee waivers which exceed 1.30% of average
     daily net assets on an annual basis. The management fee waivers and
     reimbursements are intended to be in effect for 2000, but may be revised
     or eliminated at any time thereafter without notice to shareholders.
     Absent the waiver, the management fee would have been 0.95%, and total
     Fund expenses would have been 1.50% of average daily net assets.
(7)  The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its 0.60%
     management fee, up to the full amount of that fee, equal to the amount by
     which the Fund's total operating expenses exceed 0.80% of the Fund's
     average daily net assets on an annual basis, and to reimburse the Fund for
     all remaining expenses after fee waivers which exceed 0.80% of average
     daily net assets on an annual basis. The management fee waivers and
     reimbursements are intended to be in effect for 2000, but may be revised
     or eliminated at any time thereafter without notice to shareholders.
     Absent the waiver, the management fee would have been 0.60%, and total
     Fund expenses would have been 0.86% of average daily net assets.
(8)  The SEI VP Funds' total actual annual fund operating expenses for the
     current fiscal year are expected to be less than the maximum amount
     allowed because the Adviser will voluntarily waive a portion of its fee in
     order to keep total operating expenses at a specified level. The Adviser
     may discontinue all or part of its waiver at any time. With this fee
     waiver, the Funds' actual total operating expenses are expected to be the
     amounts shown in the table above. Absent the fee waiver, the Funds' total
     operating expenses would be: Large Cap Value Fund, 0.95%; Large Cap Growth
     Fund, 1.00%; Small Cap Value Fund, 1.20%; Small Cap Growth Fund, 1.20%;
     International Equity Fund, 1.41%; Emerging Markets Equity Fund, 2.34%;
     Core Fixed Income Fund, 0.70%; High Yield Bond Fund, 0.99%; International
     Fixed Income Fund, 1.31%; Emerging Markets Debt Fund, 1.95%.

     Premiums. Within limits, you decide how much money you want to put into
the policy. There is a minimum premium that you have to pay to put the policy
in force. That amount is 1/12 of the "minimum initial annual premium amount"
shown on the specifications page of your policy. After the policy is in force,
you may pay any amount you want as long as the cash value is always enough to
cover the surrender charge and the current month's expenses.

     If you have converted a General American term insurance policy to this
policy, and if the term policy includes conversion credits, you may apply those
credits to reduce your first-year minimum premium.

     You can set up a schedule of payments, and we will send you reminders, but
you are not required to make the payments as long as the cash value covers the
surrender charge and the current month's expenses. (See Payment and Allocation
of Premiums.)

     Death Benefit. If the person insured under the policy dies while the
policy is in force, we will pay a death benefit to the beneficiary. You can
select one of three death benefits at the time the policy is issued:

     .  Option A: The death benefit is the greater of the face amount of the
        policy or an "applicable percentage" of the cash value.

     .  Option B: The death benefit is the greater of the face amount of the
        policy plus the cash value, or an "applicable percentage" of the cash
        value.

     .  Option C: The death benefit is the greater of the face amount of the
        policy, or the cash value multiplied by an attained age factor.

     As long as the policy remains in force and the person insured is less than
100 years old, the minimum death benefit under any death benefit option will be
at least the current face amount.

     We will increase the death benefit by any dividends earned prior to the
death of the person insured, and by the cost of insurance from the date of
death to the end of the month, and will reduce it by any outstanding loans and
interest. We will pay the death benefit according to the settlement options
available at the time of death. (See Policy Benefits--Death Benefit.)

                                      11



     The minimum face amount at issue is generally $50,000 under our current
rules. Subject to certain restrictions, you may change the face amount and the
death benefit option. In certain cases we may require evidence that the person
insured under the policy is still insurable. (See Change in Death Benefit
Option, and Change In Face Amount.)

     You may include additional insurance benefits with your policy. These are
described under General Matters--Additional Insurance Benefits. If you elect
any additional benefits, we will deduct the charges for those benefits from
your Cash Value.

     Cash Value. Your Policy has a cash value that is the total amount credited
to you in the separate account, the loan account, and the general account. The
cash value increases by the amount of net premium payments, and decreases by
partial withdrawals and expense charges for the policy. It may either increase
or decrease based on the investment experience of the separate account
divisions that you have selected. (See Policy Benefits--Cash Value.)

     There is no minimum guaranteed cash value.

     Policy Loans. You may borrow against the cash value of your policy.

     The loan value is the maximum amount that you may borrow. The loan value
is:

     .  the cash value on the date we receive the loan request;

     .  minus interest on the new loan to the next policy anniversary;

     .  minus any loans and interest already outstanding;

     .  minus any surrender charges;

     .  minus monthly deductions to the next policy anniversary.

     When you borrow against the policy, we will take the money from the
general account and the divisions of the separate account in proportion to your
balances in each account.

     Loan interest is due at each policy anniversary. If you don't pay the loan
interest, we will add it to the amount of the loan.

     You may repay all or part of the loan at any time. When you make a loan
payment, we will put the money back into the general account or the divisions
of the separate account in the same percentages used them to make the loan.

     When we pay out the proceeds of your policy, either as a death benefit or
as a policy surrender, we will deduct any outstanding loans and interest from
the amount we pay. (See Policy Rights--Loans.)

     Loans taken from or secured by a policy may have Federal income tax
consequences. (See Federal Tax Matters.)

     Surrender, Partial Withdrawals, and Pro-Rata Surrender. You may surrender
the policy at any time while it is in force. We will pay you the cash surrender
value, plus dividends (if any) earned prior to the surrender.

     After the first year you may request a partial withdrawal of your cash
surrender value. Normally, withdrawing a portion of your cash surrender value
will reduce your death benefit by the amount of the

                                      12



withdrawal. However, if you have included the Anniversary Partial Withdrawal
Rider on your policy, you may withdraw a portion of your cash surrender value
without reducing the death benefit. Under this rider, there are limits on how
much you can withdraw, and the withdrawal must be at the policy anniversary.
You can find more information about the rider under General Matters--Additional
Insurance Benefits.

     You may also request a pro-rata surrender of the policy, which allows you
to surrender part of the policy and keep the rest in force. You can find more
information under Policy Rights--Surrender and Partial Withdrawal.

     A surrender, partial withdrawal, or Pro-Rata Surrender may have Federal
income tax consequences. We suggest that you discuss your situation with a
competent tax adviser before taking one of these steps. (See Federal Tax
Matters.)

     Illustrations of Death Benefits and Cash Surrender Values. The death
benefit and cash surrender value of your policy will depend on how well your
investments perform. In Appendix A we have illustrated some sample policies.
Depending on the rate of return, the values may increase or decrease. In order
to help you to understand the cost of the policy, we also show how your premium
would grow if you simply invested it at 5% interest, compounded annually.

     If you surrender your policy in the first few years, the cash surrender
value that you receive may be low compared to what you would have accumulated
by investing the premiums at interest. In this case, the insurance protection
that you received while the policy was in force will have been expensive.

     We will provide you with an illustration showing projected future cash
values if you request it in writing. We may charge a fee of up to $25 for
preparing the illustration.

     Tax Consequences of The Policy. If your policy was issued in a standard
premium class, then we believe that it qualifies as a life insurance contract
for Federal income tax purposes. Similarly, if your policy was issued on a
guaranteed issue or simplified issue basis, we believe that it will qualify as
a life insurance contract. However, if the policy was issued on a substandard
basis, it is not clear whether it will qualify as a life insurance contract for
tax purposes. The IRS has provided very limited guidance in this area.

     Assuming that the policy does qualify as a life insurance contract for
Federal income tax purposes, then we believe that the cash value should be
subject to the same tax treatment as the cash value of a conventional
fixed-benefit contract. This means that growth in the cash value will not be
taxed until you receive a distribution.

     There are some actions that may trigger a tax. If you transfer ownership
to someone else, or if you surrender the policy or withdraw cash from it, you
may have to pay a tax. Similarly, if you let the policy lapse while there is an
outstanding loan, or if you exchange the policy for another policy, you may owe
a tax. (See Federal Tax Matters.)

     If you pay too much in premium, your policy may become a "modified
endowment contract." If that happens, then some pre-death distributions of cash
will be taxable income. If there is more cash value in the policy that what you
actually paid in premiums, you will be taxed on the excess in the year in which
you receive a distribution. You may withdraw the amount that you paid into the
policy without being taxed, but only after you have received the excess as
taxable income. In addition, any taxable distribution that you receive before
age 59-1/2 will generally be subject to an additional 10% tax.

                                      13



     On the other hand, if the policy is not a modified endowment contract,
then distributions are normally treated first as a return of your "cost basis,"
or investment in the contract. In this case, you may withdraw up to the amount
of the premiums you paid with no tax consequences. After that, any additional
distributions are treated as taxable income. In addition, loans from the policy
are not treated as distributions, so they are not considered taxable income.
Finally, if your policy is not a modified endowment contract, neither
distributions or loans are subject to the 10% additional tax (See Federal Tax
Matters.)

     Please note that General American is neither a law firm nor a tax adviser,
so we cannot give you legal or tax advice. If you have specific legal or tax
questions, we suggest that you consult a qualified professional in these fields.

     Dividends. We do not expect to pay dividends on this Policy. (See
Dividends.)

     The following summary of Prospectus information should be read in
conjunction with the detailed information appearing elsewhere in this
Prospectus. Unless otherwise indicated, the description of the Policies
contained in this Prospectus assumes that a Policy is in force and that there
is no outstanding Indebtedness.

     The Policy. Under the flexible premium variable life insurance Policy
described in this Prospectus, the Owner may, subject to certain limitations,
make premium payments in any amount and at any frequency. The Policy is a life
insurance contract with death benefits, Cash Value, surrender rights, Policy
Loan privileges, and other features traditionally associated with life
insurance. It is a "flexible

                                      16



premium" Policy because, unlike traditional insurance policies, there is no
fixed schedule for premium payments. Although the Owner may establish a
schedule of premium payments ("planned premium payments"), failure to make the
planned premium payments will not necessarily cause a Policy to lapse, nor will
making the planned premium payments guarantee that a Policy will remain in
force. Thus, an Owner may, but is not required to, pay additional premiums.
This flexibility permits an Owner to provide for changing insurance needs
within a single insurance policy.

     The Policy is a "variable" Policy because, unlike the fixed benefits under
an ordinary life insurance contract, to the extent that Net Premiums are
allocated to the Separate Account, the Cash Value and, under certain
circumstances, the death benefit under a Policy may increase or decrease
depending upon the investment performance of the Divisions of the Separate
Account to which the Owner has allocated Net Premium payments. However, so long
as a Policy's Cash Surrender Value continues to be sufficient to pay the
monthly deduction, an Owner is guaranteed a minimum death benefit equal to the
Face Amount of his or her Policy, less any outstanding Indebtedness.

     A Policy will lapse (and terminate without value) when the Cash Surrender
Value is insufficient to pay the next monthly deduction and a grace period of
62 days expires without an adequate payment being made by the Owner (See
Payment and Allocation of Premiums--Policy Lapse and Reinstatement).

     The Separate Account. After the end of the "Right to Examine Policy"
period, the Owner may allocate the Net Premiums to the Separate Account and, if
it is available, to the General Account. Amounts allocated to the Separate
Account are further allocated to one or more Divisions. Assets of each Division
are invested at net asset value in shares of a corresponding Fund. (See The
Company and the Separate Account.) An Owner may change future allocations of
Net Premiums at any time.

     The option offered in connection with the Policies to allocate Net
Premiums or to transfer Cash Value to the General Account may not be made
available, at the Company's discretion, under all Policies. Further, the option
may be limited with respect to some Policies. The Company may, from time to
time, adjust the extent to which future premiums may be allocated to the
General Account in regard to any or all outstanding Policies. Such adjustments
may not be uniform as to all Policies.

     Until the end of the "Right to Examine Policy" period (see Right to
Examine Policy), all Net Premiums automatically will be allocated to the
Division that invests in the Money Market Fund. (See Payment and Allocation of
Premiums--Allocation of Net Premiums and Cash Value.)

     To the extent Net Premiums are allocated to the Divisions of the Separate
Account, the Cash Value will, and the death benefit may, vary with the
investment performance of the chosen Division. To the extent Net Premiums are
allocated to the General Account, the Cash Value will accrue interest at a
guaranteed minimum rate. (See The General Account.) Thus, depending upon the
allocation of Net Premiums, investment risk over the life of a Policy may be
borne by the Owner, by the Company, or by both.

     Subject to certain restrictions, an Owner may transfer Cash Value among
the Divisions of the Separate Account or, if available, between the Separate
Account and the General Account. Currently, no charge is assessed for
transfers. The Company reserves the right to revoke or modify the transfer
privilege. (See Policy Rights--Transfers.)

     Charges and Deductions. A premium tax charge will be deducted from each
premium payment prior to allocation. The premium tax charge consists of a
charge to cover state premium taxes and a charge to cover the Company's Federal
income tax costs attributable to the amount of premiums received. The charge to
cover state premium taxes is 2.10%, and the charge to cover the Company's
Federal income tax costs attributable to the amount of premiums received is
1.25%. The amount of these charges

                                      17



is subject to increase under certain circumstances. (See Charges and
Deductions--Premium Tax Charges.)

     A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge to compensate for sales expenses may be
assessed against the Cash Value under a Policy upon a surrender, a partial
withdrawal, a lapse, or a decrease in Face Amount.

     For a period of up to 15 years after the Issue Date or the effective date
of a Face Amount increase, the Company will impose a Contingent Deferred Sales
Charge ("CDSC") upon surrender, lapse, or a requested decrease in Face Amount.
The Company will also impose the CDSC upon a partial withdrawal that results in
a decrease in Face Amount. The amount of the CDSC will depend upon a number of
factors, including the type of event (surrender, lapse, or decrease in Face
Amount), the amount of premium payments made under the Policy prior to the
event, and the number of Policy Years having elapsed since the Policy was
issued or the Face Amount was increased, as applicable.

     A separate CDSC applies to the initial Face Amount and to each increase in
Face Amount and is deducted whenever (and to the extent that) a surrender,
lapse, or Face Amount decrease affects the applicable increment of Face Amount.
The length of time over which a CDSC will apply to any increment of Face Amount
will depend upon the Attained Age of the Insured on the Issue Date or the
effective date of the increase, as applicable, and the Insured's sex and risk
class.

     The CDSC will equal the CDSC grading percentage multiplied by the sum of
(1) and (2) where:

          (1)  is 40% of the lesser of the premium payments made or the Target
     Premium for the Policy, excluding any riders, and

          (2)  is the Excess Premium Surrender Charge Factor multiplied by
     premium payments made in excess of the Target Premium for the Policy,
     excluding any riders.

     With regard to a Face Amount increase:

          (1)  is 40% of the lesser of the premium payments attributable to the
     increase or the Target Premium for the increase, and

          (2)  is the Excess Premium Surrender Charge Factor multiplied by
     premium payments attributable to the increase in excess of the Target
     Premium for the increase.

     The CDSC grading percentages and the Excess Premium Surrender Charge
Factors are described elsewhere in this Prospectus. The Excess Premium
Surrender Charge Factors vary with the Attained Age, sex, and risk class of the
Insured. In addition, the CDSC is limited to amounts less than the foregoing
during the first two Policy Years or the first two Policy Years following an
increase in Face Amount, as applicable. (See Policy Rights--Surrender and
Partial Withdrawals, Policy Benefits--Death Benefit, and Charges and
Deductions--Contingent Deferred Sales Charge.) Reductions in the Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge are available in some situations. (See Reduction of
Charges.)

     On each Monthly Anniversary, the Cash Value will be reduced by the monthly
deduction consisting of:

          (1)  a monthly administrative charge of $13.00 ($156.00 per year)
     during the first twelve Policy Months, and $6.00 per month ($72.00 per
     year) thereafter, to compensate the Company for the continuing
     administrative costs of the Policy;

                                      18



          (2)  a Selection and Issue Expense Charge of $.16 per Policy Month
     for each $1,000 of Face Amount in the first Policy Year and $.01 per
     Policy Month for each $1000 of Face Amount in subsequent Policy Years (see
     Charges and Deductions--Monthly Deduction);

          (3)  a monthly charge for the cost of insurance (see Charges and
     Deductions--Monthly Deduction); and

          (4)  a charge for the cost of any additional benefits provided by
     rider. A daily charge of .002455% (an effective annual rate of .90%) of
     the net assets of each Division of the Separate Account will be imposed
     for the Company's assumption of certain mortality and expense risks
     incurred in connection with the Policies. (See Charges and
     Deductions--Separate Account Charges.)

     The Company may make a charge for any taxes or economic burden resulting
from the application of the tax laws that it determines to be properly
attributable to the Separate Account or to the Policy. (See Federal Tax
Matters.)

     The operating expenses of the Separate Account are paid by General
American. Investment advisory fees and other operating expenses of the Funds
are paid by the Funds and are reflected in the value of the assets of the
corresponding Division of the Separate Account. For a description of these
charges, see Charges and Deductions--Separate Account Charges.

     Currently, there are no transaction charges to cover the administrative
costs of processing partial withdrawals or transfers of Cash Value between
Divisions of the Separate Account. In contracts with the General Account
option, there are no transaction charges to cover the administrative costs of
processing transfers of Cash Value between the Separate and General Accounts.
However, the Company reserves the right to impose such charges in the future.
In addition, transfers and withdrawals are subject to restrictions relative to
amount and frequency. (See Payment and Allocation of Premiums--Allocation of
Net Premiums and Cash Value, Policy Rights--Surrender and Partial Withdrawals,
and The General Account.)

     Premiums. An Owner has considerable flexibility concerning the amount and
frequency of premium payments. A Policy will not become effective until the
Owner has paid an Initial Premium equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the "Initial
Annual Premium" for the Policy. This amount will be different for each Policy.
Thereafter, an Owner may, subject to certain restrictions, make premium
payments in any amount and at any frequency. The Owner may also determine a
planned premium payment schedule. The schedule would provide for a premium
payment of a level amount at a fixed interval over a specified period of time.
An Owner need not, however, adhere to the planned premium payment schedule. For
policies issued as a result of a term conversion from certain General American
term policies, the Company requires the Owner to pay an Initial Premium, which
combined with conversion credits given, if any, will equal one full "Initial
Annual Premium" for the Policy. (See Payment and Allocation of Premiums.)

     A Policy will lapse only when the Cash Surrender Value is insufficient to
pay the monthly deduction (See Charges and Deductions--Monthly Deduction) and a
grace period expires without a sufficient payment by the Owner. (See Payment
and Allocation of Premiums--Policy Lapse and Reinstatement.)

     Death Benefit. A death benefit is payable to the named Beneficiary when
the Insured under a Policy dies. Three death benefit options are available.
Under Death Benefit Option A, the death benefit is the Face Amount of the
Policy or, if greater, the applicable percentage of Cash Value. Under Death
Benefit Option B, the death benefit is the Face Amount of the Policy plus the
Cash Value or, if greater,

                                      19



the applicable percentage of Cash Value. Under the Death Benefit Option C, the
death benefit is the Face Amount of the Policy or, if greater, the Cash Value
multiplied by the Attained Age factor. So long as the Policy remains in force,
the minimum death benefit under any death benefit option will be at least the
current Face Amount. The death benefit will be increased by any unpaid
dividends determined prior to the Insured's death (see Dividends) and by the
amount of the cost of insurance for the portion of the month from the date of
death to the end of the month, and reduced by any outstanding Indebtedness. The
death benefit will be paid according to settlement options available at the
time of death. (See Policy Benefits--Death Benefit.)

     The minimum Face Amount at issue is $50,000 under the Company's current
rules. Subject to certain restrictions, the Owner may change the Face Amount
and the death benefit option. In certain cases evidence of insurability may be
required. (See Change in Death Benefit Option and Change In Face Amount and
Additional Coverage from Riders.)

     Additional insurance benefits offered under the Policy include a waiver of
specified premium rider, a waiver of monthly deduction rider, a children's life
insurance rider, an additional insured family term rider, a guaranteed option
to increase the Face Amount rider, an accidental death benefit rider, a
guaranteed survivor purchase option rider, a supplemental coverage term rider,
and an increasing benefit rider. (See General Matters--Additional Insurance
Benefits.) The cost of these additional insurance benefits will be deducted
from the Cash Value as part of the monthly deduction. (See Charges and
Deductions--Monthly Deduction.)

     Cash Value. The Cash Value of the policy equal to the total of the
Policy's Cash Value in the Separate Account, the Loan Account (securing Policy
Loans), and, in certain contracts, the General Account. A Policy's Cash Value
will reflect the amount and frequency of Net Premium payments, the investment
performance of any selected Divisions of the Separate Account, any Policy
Loans, any partial withdrawals, and the charges imposed in connection with the
Policy. (See Policy Benefits--Cash Value.) There is no minimum guaranteed Cash
Value.

     Policy Loans. After the first Policy Anniversary, an Owner may borrow
against the Cash Value of a Policy. The maximum amount that may be borrowed
under a Policy ("the Loan Value") is 90% of the Cash Value of the Policy on the
date the loan request is received, less interest to the next Policy
Anniversary, less any outstanding Indebtedness, less any surrender charges, and
less monthly deductions to the next Policy Anniversary. Loan interest is
payable on each Policy Anniversary, and all outstanding Indebtedness will be
deducted from proceeds payable at the Insured's death, upon the exercise of a
settlement option, or upon surrender.

     A Policy Loan will be allocated among the General Account (if available)
and the various Divisions of the Separate Account. When a loan is allocated
from the Division(s) of the Separate Account, a portion of the Policy's Cash
Value in the Division(s) of the Separate Account sufficient to secure the loan
will be transferred to the Loan Account as security for the loan. Therefore, a
loan may have impact on the Policy's Cash Value even if it is repaid. A Policy
Loan may be repaid in whole or in part at any time while the Policy is in
force. (See Policy Rights--Loans.) Loans taken from, or secured by, a Policy
may have Federal income tax consequences. (See Federal Tax Matters.)

     Surrender And Partial Withdrawals. At any time that a Policy is in force,
an Owner may elect to surrender the Policy and receive its Cash Surrender Value
plus the value of any unpaid dividends determined prior to the surrender. After
the first year, an Owner may also request a partial withdrawal of the Cash
Surrender Value. When the death benefit is not based on an applicable
percentage of the Cash Value, a partial withdrawal reduces the death benefit
payable under the Policy by an amount equal to the reduction in the Policy's
Cash Value. A surrender or a partial withdrawal may have Federal income tax
consequences. (See Federal Tax Matters.)

                                      20



     Right To Examine Policy. The Owner has a limited right to return a Policy
for cancellation within 20 days after receiving it (30 days if the Owner is a
resident of California and is age 60 or older), within 45 days after the
application is signed, or within 10 days after the Company mails a notice of
this cancellation right, whichever is latest. If a Policy is canceled within
this time period, a refund will be paid which will equal all premiums paid
under the Policy, except in Kansas. The Owner also has a similar right to
cancel a requested increase in Face Amount. Upon cancellation of an increase,
the additional charges deducted in connection with the increase will be added
to the Cash Value. (See Policy Rights--Right to Examine Policy.)

     Illustrations of Death Benefits and Cash Surrender Values. Illustrations
on pages A-2 to A-19 in Appendix A show how death benefits and Cash Surrender
Values may vary based on certain rate of return assumptions and how these
benefits compare with amounts which would accumulate if premiums were invested
to earn interest at 5% compounded annually. If a Policy is surrendered in the
early Policy Years, the Cash Surrender Value payable will be low as compared to
premiums accumulated at interest, and consequently the insurance protection
provided prior to surrender will be costly. You may make a written request for
a projection of illustrated future Cash Values and death benefits for a nominal
fee not to exceed $25.00.

     Tax Consequences of the Policy. If a Policy is issued on the basis of a
standard premium class or on a guaranteed or simplified issue basis, while
limited guidance exists, the Company believes that the Policy should qualify as
a life insurance contract for Federal income tax purposes. However, if a Policy
is issued on a substandard basis, it is unclear whether or not such a Policy
would qualify as a life insurance contract for Federal income tax purposes.
Assuming that the Policy qualifies as a life insurance contract for Federal
income tax purposes, the Company believes the Cash Value of the Policy should
be subject to the same Federal income tax treatment as the Cash Value of a
conventional fixed-benefit contract. If so, the Owner is not considered to be
in constructive receipt of the Cash Value under the Policy until there is a
distribution. A change of Owners, a surrender, a partial withdrawal, a lapse
with outstanding Indebtedness, or an exchange may have tax consequences, such
as making the Policy a modified endowment contract, depending on the particular
circumstances. (See Federal Tax Matters.)

     A Policy may be treated as a "modified endowment contract" depending upon
the amount of premiums paid in relation to the death benefit. If the Policy is
a modified endowment contract, then all pre-death distributions, including
Policy Loans and due but unpaid loan interest, will be treated first as a
distribution of taxable income and then as a return of basis or investment in
the contract. In addition, prior to age 59 1/2 taxable income from such
distributions generally will be subject to a 10% additional tax. A prospective
Owner should contact a competent tax advisor before purchasing a Policy to
determine the circumstances under which the Policy would be a modified
endowment contract, and before paying any additional premiums or making any
other change to, including an exchange of, a Policy to determine whether such
premium or change would cause the Policy (or the new Policy in the case of an
exchange) to be treated as a modified endowment contract.

     If the Policy is not a modified endowment contract, distributions
generally will be treated first as a return of basis or investment in the
contract and then as disbursing taxable income. Moreover, loans will not be
treated as distributions. Finally, neither distributions nor loans from a
Policy that is not a modified endowment contract are subject to the 10.0%
additional tax. (See Federal Tax Matters.)

     Dividends. While a Policy is in force, it may share in the divisible
surplus of the Company. Each year the Company will determine the share of
divisible surplus accruing to a Policy and will distribute the surplus as a

     This Prospectus describes only those aspects of the Policies that relate
to the Separate Account, except where General Account matters are specifically
mentioned. For a brief summary of the aspects of the Policies relating to the
General Account, see The General Account.

                     THE COMPANY AND THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT

The Company

     General American Life Insurance Company ("General American" or "the
Company") was originally incorporated as a stock company in 1933. In 1936,
General American initiated a program to convert to a mutual life insurance
company. In 1997, General American's policyholders approved a reorganization of
the Company into a mutual holding company structure under which General
American became a stock company wholly owned by GenAmerica Corporation, an
intermediate stock holding company.

     On January 6, 2000 The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company of New York
("MetLife") acquired GenAmerica Corporation. As a result of that transaction,
General American became an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife.

     Headquartered in New York City since 1868, MetLife is a leading provider
of insurance and financial services to a broad spectrum of individual and group
customers. The company, with approximately $357.7 billion worth of assets under
management as of December 31, 1998, provides individual insurance and
investment products to approximately 9 million households in the United States.
MetLife also serves over 33 million people by providing group insurance and
investment products to corporations and other institutions.

     General American is principally engaged in writing individual and group
life insurance policies and annuity contracts. As of December 31, 1998, it had
consolidated assets of approximately $29 billion. It is admitted to do business
in 49 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and in ten Canadian
provinces. The principal offices of General American are located at 700 Market
Street, St. Louis, Missouri 63101. The mailing address of General American's
service center ("the Home Office") is P.O. Box 14490, St. Louis, Missouri 63178.

The Separate Account

     General American Life Insurance Company Separate Account Eleven ("the
Separate Account") was established by General American as a separate investment
account on January 24, 1985 under Missouri law. The Separate Account will
receive and invest the Net Premiums paid under this Policy and allocated to it.
In addition, the Separate Account currently receives and invests Net Premiums
for other classes of flexible premium variable life insurance policies and
might do so for additional classes in the future.

     The Separate Account has been registered with the SEC as a unit investment
trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("the 1940 Act") and meets the
definition of a "separate account" under Federal securities laws. Registration
with the SEC does not involve supervision of the management or investment
practices or policies of the Separate Account or General American by the SEC.

     The Separate Account is divided into Divisions. Divisions invest in
corresponding Funds from various open-end, diversified management investment
companies. Income and both realized and unrealized gains or losses from the
assets of each Division of the Separate Account are credited to or

                                      22



charged against that Division without regard to income, gains, or losses from
any other Division of the Separate Account or arising out of any other business
General American may conduct.

     Although the assets of the Separate Account are the property of General
American, the assets in the Separate Account equal to the reserves and other
liabilities of the Separate Account are not chargeable with liabilities arising
out of any other business which General American may conduct. The assets of the
Separate Account are available to cover the general liabilities of General
American only to the extent that the Separate Account's assets exceed its
liabilities arising under the Policies. From time to time, the Company may
transfer to its General Account any assets of the Separate Account that exceed
the reserves and the Policy liabilities of the Separate Account (which will
always be at least equal to the aggregate Policy value allocated to the
Separate Account under the Policies). Before making any such transfers, General
American will consider any possible adverse impact the transfer may have on the
Separate Account.

General American Capital Company

     General American Capital Company ("the Capital Company") is an open-end,
diversified management investment company which was incorporated in Maryland on
November 15, 1985, and commenced operations on October 1, 1987. Only the
Capital Company Funds described in this section of the Prospectus are currently
available as investment choices for this Policy even though additional Funds
may be described in the prospectus for Capital Company. Shares of Capital
Company are currently offered to separate accounts established by General
American Life Insurance Company and affiliates. The Capital Company's
investment advisor is Conning Asset Management Company ("the Advisor"), an
indirect majority-owned subsidiary of General American. The Advisor selects
investments for the Funds.

     The investment objectives and policies of each Fund are summarized below:

     S & P 500 Index Fund: The investment objective of this Fund is to provide
investment results that parallel the price and yield performance of
publicly-traded common stocks in the aggregate. The Fund uses the Standard &
Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index ("the S&P Index") as its standard for
performance comparison. The Fund attempts to duplicate the performance of the
S&P Index and includes dividend income as a component of the Fund's total
return.

     Money Market Fund: The investment objective of this Fund is to provide the
highest level of current income which is consistent with the preservation of
capital and maintenance of liquidity. The Fund invests primarily in
high-quality, short-term money market instruments.

     Bond Index Fund: The investment objective of this Fund is to provide a
rate of return that reflects the performance of the publicly-traded bond market
as a whole. The Fund uses the Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index
as its standard for performance comparison.

     Effective October 1, 1992, a change in the objectives and investment
policies took place relative to what was previously offered as the Intermediate
Bond Fund. That change was approved by the shareholders of the Fund at the
General American Capital Company annual shareholder meeting on July 22, 1992.
All historical financial information contained within this Prospectus and in
the accompanying financial statements relating to the Intermediate Bond Fund
report on its operations under its objectives. The successor to the
Intermediate Bond Fund is the Bond Index Fund.

     Because the investment objectives of the Bond Index Fund differ from those
of the Intermediate Bond Fund, the historical financial data of the
Intermediate Bond Fund should not be viewed as historical financial data of the
Bond Index Fund.

                                      23



     Managed Equity Fund: The investment objective of this Fund is long-term
growth of capital, obtained by investing primarily in common stocks. Securing
moderate current income is a secondary objective.

     Asset Allocation Fund: The investment objective of this Fund is a high
rate of long-term total return, composed of capital growth and income payments.
Preservation of capital is the secondary objective and chief limit on
investment risk. The Fund will invest only in those types of securities that
the other Capital Company Funds may invest in. The Asset Allocation Fund may be
invested in common stocks, in bonds, in money market instruments, or in a
combination thereof consistent with guidelines established from time to time by
Capital Company's Board of Directors.

     International Index Fund: The investment objective of this Fund is to
obtain investment results that parallel the price and yield performance of
publicly-traded common stocks included in the Morgan Stanley Capital
International ("MSCI") Europe, Australia and Far East Index ("EAFE").

     Mid-Cap Equity Fund: The investment objective of this Fund is capital
appreciation. It pursues this objective by investing primarily in common stocks
of United States-based, publicly traded companies with medium market
capitalizations falling within the capitalization range of the S&P Mid-Cap 400
at the time of the Fund's investment.

     Small-Cap Equity Fund: The investment objective of this fund is to provide
a rate of return that corresponds to the performance of the common stock of
small companies, while incurring a level of risk that is generally equal to the
risks associated with small company common stock. The Fund attempts to
duplicate the performance of the smallest 20% of companies, based on
capitalization size, that are based in the United States and listed on the New
York Stock Exchange ("NYSE").

Russell Insurance Funds

     Russell Insurance Funds ("RIF") is organized as a Massachusetts business
trust under a Master Trust Agreement dated July 11, 1996. RIF is authorized to
issue an unlimited number of shares evidencing beneficial interests in
different investment Funds, which interests may be offered in one or more
classes. RIF is a diversified open end management investment company, commonly
known as a "mutual fund." Frank Russell Company, which is a consultant to RIF,
has been primarily engaged since 1969 in providing asset management consulting
services to large corporate employee benefit funds. Major components of its
consulting services are: (i) quantitative and qualitative research and
evaluation aimed at identifying the most appropriate investment management
firms to invest large pools of assets in accord with specific investment
objectives and styles; and (ii) the development of strategies for investing
assets using "multi-style, multi-manager diversification." This is a method for
investing large pools of assets by dividing the assets into segments to be
invested using different investment styles, and selecting money managers for
each segment based upon their expertise in that style of investment. General
management of RIF is provided by Frank Russell Investment Management Company, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Frank Russell Company, which furnishes officers and
staff required to manage and administer RIF on a day-to-day basis.

     The investment objectives and policies of each Fund are summarized below:

     Multi-Style Equity Fund: The investment objective of this Fund is to
provide income and capital growth by investing principally in equity securities.

     Aggressive Equity Fund: This Fund seeks to provide capital appreciation by
assuming a higher level of volatility than is ordinarily expected from the
Multi-Style Equity Fund while still investing in equity securities.

                                      24



     Non-U.S. Fund: This Fund's objective is to provide favorable total return
and additional diversification for U.S. investors by investing primarily in
equity and fixed-income securities of non-U.S. companies, and securities issued
by non-U.S. governments.

     Core Bond Fund: This Fund's objective is to maximize total return, through
capital appreciation and income, by assuming a level of volatility consistent
with the broad fixed-income market. The Fund invests in fixed-income securities.

American Century Variable Portfolios

     American Century Variable Portfolios, Inc., a part of American Century
Investments, was organized as a Maryland corporation on June 4, 1987. It is a
diversified, open-end management investment company. Its business and affairs
are managed by its officers under the Direction of its Board of Directors.
American Century Investment Management, Inc. serves as the investment manager
of the fund.

     The investment objective and policies of the Funds are summarized below:

     Income & Growth Fund: The investment objective of this Fund is to attain
long-term growth of capital as well as current income. The Fund pursues a total
return and dividend yield that exceed those of the S&P 500 by investing in
stocks of companies with strong dividend growth potential. Dividends are paid
monthly.

     International Fund: This Fund seeks capital growth over time by investing
in common stocks of foreign companies considered to have better-than-average
prospects for appreciation. Because the Fund invests in foreign securities, a
higher degree of short-term price volatility, or risk, is expected due to
factors such as currency fluctuation and political instability.

     Value Fund: This Fund is a core equity fund that seeks long-term capital
growth. Income is a secondary objective. To pursue its objectives, the fund
invests primarily in equity securities of wellestablished companies that are
believed by management to be undervalued at the time of purchase. Please note
that this is an equity investment and, by nature, may fluctuate in value.

J.P. Morgan Series Trust II

     J.P. Morgan Series Trust II is an open-end diversified management
investment company organized as a Delaware Business Trust. The Trust's
investment adviser is J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc., a registered
investment adviser and a wholly owned subsidiary of J.P. Morgan & Co.,
Incorporated, a bank holding company organized under the laws of Delaware.

     The investment objective and policies of the Funds are summarized below:

     Bond Portfolio: This Fund seeks to provide a high total return consistent
with moderate risk of capital and maintenance of liquidity. The Fund is
designed for investors who seek a total return over time that is higher than
that generally available from a portfolio of shortterm obligations while
acknowledging the greater price fluctuation of longer-term instruments.

     Small Company Portfolio: The investment objective of this Fund is to
provide high total return from a portfolio of equity securities of small
companies. The Fund invests at least 65% of the value of its total assets in
the common stock of small U.S. Companies primarily with market capitalizations
less than $1 billion. The Fund is designed for investors who are willing to
assume the somewhat higher risk of

                                      25



investing in small companies in order to seek a higher return over time than
might be expected from a portfolio of stocks of large companies.

Price Index.

investments are not restricted to any one type of security. Capital
appreciation may also be found in other types of securities, including bonds

Investment Company Act of 1940.

     The investment objectives and policies of the Funds available under your
Policy are summarized below:

     Janus Mid Cap Portfolio: The Portfolio seeks long-term growth of capital.
It normally invests at least 65% of its total assets in common stocks of medium
capitalization companies selected for their growth potential. The portfolio
manager defines medium capitalization ("mid-cap") companies as those whose
market capitalization falls within the range of companies included in the S&P
MidCap 400 Index at the time of the purchase. The Portfolio is non-diversified,
so that it can own larger positions in a smaller number of issuers. This means
that appreciation or depreciation of a single investment can have a greater
impact on the Portfolio's share price. The portfolio manager generally takes a
"bottom up" approach to building the Portfolio by identifying the companies
with earnings growth potential that may not be recognized by the market at
large, without regard to any industry sector or other similar selection
procedure.

     T. Rowe Price Large Cap Growth Portfolio: This Portfolio seeks long-term
growth of capital, with dividend income as a secondary goal. It normally
invests at least 65% of its total assets in a diversified group of large
capitalization growth companies. The portfolio managers define large
capitalization ("large-cap") companies as those whose market capitalization
falls within the range of the largest 300 companies included in the Russell
3000 Index at the time of the purchase. The Portfolio generally looks for
companies with above-average growth in earnings and cash flow; the ability to
sustain

                                      29



earnings momentum even during economic slowdowns by operating in industries or
service sectors where earnings and dividends can outpace inflation and the
overall economy; or that have a lucrative niche in the economy where profit
margins widen due to economic factors (rather than one-time events such as
lower taxes). The Portfolio expects to invest in common stocks of companies
that normally (but not always) pay dividends that are generally expected to
rise in future years as earnings rise.

     T. Rowe Price Small Cap Growth Portfolio: The investment objective of this
Portfolio is long-term capital growth. The Portfolio normally invests at least
65% of its total assets in a diversified group of small capitalization
companies. The portfolio manager defines small capitalization ("small cap")
companies as those whose market capitalization falls within the range of
companies included in the bottom 10% of the S&P 500 Index at the time of the
purchase. The Portfolio expects to invest primarily in common stocks and
convertible securities of companies in the development stage of their corporate
life cycle with potential to achieve long-term earnings growth faster than the
overall market.

New England Zenith Fund

     New England Zenith Fund is an open-end diversified management investment
company, more commonly known as a mutual fund, consisting of multiple
investment portfolios, known as the Series. New England Investment Management,
Inc. (NEIM) was organized in 1994 by New England Financial to serve as the
investment adviser to the Series.

     The investment objectives and policies of the Fund available under your
Policy are summarized below:

     Alger Equity Growth Series: Alger invests Equity Growth's assets primarily
in growth stocks. Alger will ordinarily invest at least 65% of Equity Growth's
total assets in equity securities of issues with market capitalization of
$1 billion or greater. Alger seeks out and invests primarily in companies that
are traded on domestic stock exchanges or in the domestic over-the-counter
market. The companies Alger chooses for the portfolio of the Series may still
be in the development stage. They may be older companies that appear to be
entering a new stage of growth progress due to factors like management changes
or development of new technologies, products or markets, or may be companies
providing products or services with a high unit volume growth rate. Alger
focuses on fundamental characteristics of individual companies and does not
allocate assets based on specific industry sectors.

     THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT ANY OF THE FUNDS WILL ACHIEVE ITS STATED
OBJECTIVE. It is conceivable that in the future it may be disadvantageous for
Funds to offer shares to separate accounts of various insurance companies to
serve as the investment medium for their variable products or for both variable
life and annuity separate accounts to invest simultaneously in Capital Company.
The Board of Trustees of each Fund is required to monitor events to identify
any material irreconcilable conflicts that may possibly arise, and to determine
what action, if any, should be taken in response to those events or conflicts.
A more detailed description of the Funds, their investment policies,
restrictions, risks, and charges is in each Fund's prospectus, which must
accompany or precede this Prospectus and which should be read carefully.

              ADDITION, DELETION, OR SUBSTITUTION OF INVESTMENTS

     The Company reserves the right, subject to compliance with applicable law,
to make additions to, deletions from, or substitutions for the shares that are
held by the Separate Account or that the Separate Account may purchase. The
Company reserves the right to eliminate the shares of any of the Funds and to
substitute shares of another Fund currently available under the Policy, or of
another registered open-end investment company, if the shares of a Fund are no
longer available for investment, or if in its

                                      30



judgment further investment in any Fund becomes inappropriate in view of the
purposes of the Separate Account. The Company will not substitute any shares
attributable to an Owner's interest in a Division of the Separate Account
without notice to the Owner and prior approval of the SEC, to the extent
required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law. Nothing contained in this
Prospectus shall prevent the Separate Account from purchasing other securities
for other series or classes of policies, or from permitting a conversion
between series or classes of policies on the basis of requests made by Owners.

     The Company also reserves the right to establish additional Divisions of
the Separate Account, each of which would invest in a new Fund with a specified
investment objective. New Divisions may be established when, in the sole
discretion of the Company, marketing needs or investment conditions warrant.
Any new Division will be made available to existing Owners on a basis to be
determined by the Company. To the extent approved by the SEC, the Company may
also eliminate or combine one or more Divisions, substitute one Division for
another Division, or transfer assets between Divisions if, in its sole
discretion, marketing, tax, or investment conditions warrant.

     In the event of a substitution or change, the Company may, if it considers
it necessary, make such changes in the Policy by appropriate endorsement, and
offer conversion options required by law, if any. The Company will notify all
Owners of any such changes.

     If deemed by the Company to be in the best interests of persons having
voting rights under the Policy, and to the extent any necessary SEC approvals
or Owner votes are obtained, the Separate Account may be: (a) operated as a
management company under the 1940 Act; (b) de-registered under that Act in the
event such registration is no longer required; or (c) combined with other
separate accounts of the Company. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
the Company may also transfer the assets of the Separate Account associated
with the Policy to another separate account.

                                POLICY BENEFITS

Death Benefit

     As long as the Policy remains in force (See Payment and Allocation of
Premiums--Policy Lapse and Reinstatement), the Company will, upon receipt of
proof of the Insured's death at its Home Office, pay the death benefit in a
lump sum. The amount of the death benefit payable will be determined at the end
of the Valuation Period during which the Insured's death occurred. The death
benefit will be paid to the surviving Beneficiary or Beneficiaries specified in
the application or as subsequently changed.

     The Policy provides three death benefit options: "Death Benefit Option A",
"Death Benefit Option B", and "Death Benefit Option C". The death benefit under
all options will never be less than the current Face Amount of the Policy as
long as the Policy remains in force. (See Payment and Allocation of
Premiums--Policy Lapse and Reinstatement.) The minimum Face Amount currently is
$50,000.

     Death Benefit Option A. Under Death Benefit Option A, the death benefit is
the current Face Amount of the Policy or, if greater, the applicable percentage
of Cash Value on the date of death. The applicable percentage is 250% for an
Insured Attained Age 40 or below on the Policy Anniversary prior to the date of
death. For Insureds with an Attained Age over 40 on that Policy Anniversary,
the percentage is lower and declines with age as shown in the Applicable
Percentage of Cash Value Table shown below. Accordingly, under Death Benefit
Option A, the death benefit will remain level at the Face Amount unless the
Applicable Percentage of Cash Value exceeds the current Face Amount, in which
case the amount of the death benefit will vary as the Cash Value varies. (See
Illustrations of Death Benefits and Cash Values, Appendix A.)

                                      31



     Death Benefit Option B. Under Death Benefit Option B, the death benefit is
equal to the current Face Amount plus the Cash Value of the Policy on the date
of death or, if greater, the applicable percentage of the Cash Value on the
date of death. The applicable percentage is the same as under Death Benefit
Option A: 250% for an Insured Attained Age 40 or below on the Policy
Anniversary prior to the date of death, and for Insureds with an Attained Age
over 40 on that Policy Anniversary the percentage declines as shown in the
Applicable Percentage of Cash Value Table shown below. Accordingly, under Death
Benefit Option B, the amount of the death benefit will always vary as the Cash
Value varies (but will never be less than the Face Amount). (See Illustrations
of Death Benefits and Cash Values, Appendix A.)

                             75-90           105%
                          94 and older       101%

-----------------
(1)  For ages that are not shown on the table, the applicable percentage
     multiples will decrease by a ratable portion for each full year.

     Death Benefit Option C. Under Death Benefit Option C, the death benefit is
equal to the current Face Amount of the Policy or, if greater, the Cash Value
on the date of death multiplied by the "Attained Age factor" (a list of sample
Attained Age factors is shown in the Sample Attained Age Factor Table below).
Accordingly, under Death Benefit Option C, the death benefit will remain level
at the Face Amount unless the Cash Value multiplied by the Attained Age factor
exceeds the current Face Amount, in which case the amount of the death benefit
will vary as the Cash Value varies. (See Illustrations of Death Benefits and
Cash Values, Appendix A.)

-----------------------
In the first year, the factor may be slightly higher and may vary by risk class.

     Change In Death Benefit Option. After the first Policy Anniversary, if the
Policy was issued with either Death Benefit Option A or Death Benefit Option B,
the death benefit option may be changed. The option may be changed once each
Policy Year, and a request for change must be made to the Company in writing.
The effective date of such a change will be the Monthly Anniversary on or
following the date the Company receives the change request. A change in death
benefit option may have Federal income tax consequences. (See Federal Tax
Matters).

     A Death Benefit Option A Policy may change its death benefit option to
Death Benefit Option B. The Face Amount will be decreased to equal the death
benefit less the Cash Value on the effective date of change. A

     Death Benefit Option B Policy may change its death benefit option to Death
Benefit Option A. The Face Amount will be increased to equal the death benefit
on the effective date of change. A Policy issued under Death Benefit Option C
may not change to either Death Benefit Option A nor Death Benefit Option B for
the entire lifetime of the Policy.

     Similarly, a Policy issued under either Death Benefit Option A or Death
Benefit Option B may not change to Death Benefit Option C for the lifetime of
the Policy.

     Satisfactory evidence of insurability must be submitted to the Company in
connection with a request for a change from Death Benefit Option A to Death
Benefit Option B. A change may not be made if it would result in a Face Amount
of less than the minimum Face Amount.

     A change in death benefit option will not in itself result in an immediate
change in the amount of a Policy's death benefit or Cash Value. In addition,
if, prior to or accompanying a change in the death benefit option, there has
been an increase in the Face Amount, the cost of insurance charge may be
different for the increased amount. (See Monthly Deduction--Cost of Insurance.)

     Change in Face Amount and Additional Coverage From Riders. Subject to
certain limitations set forth below, an Owner may increase or decrease the Face
Amount of a Policy once each Policy Year, but not before the first Policy
Anniversary. A written request is required for a change in the Face Amount. A
change in Face Amount may affect the cost of insurance rate and the net amount
at risk, both of which affect an Owner's cost of insurance charge. (See Monthly
Deduction--Cost of Insurance.) A change in the Face Amount of a Policy may have
Federal income tax consequences, including conversion of the Policy into a
modified endowment contract. (See Federal Tax Matters.)

     For an increase in the Face Amount, the Company requires that satisfactory
evidence of insurability be submitted. An application for an increase must be
received by the Company. If approved, the increase will become effective as of
the Monthly Anniversary on or following receipt of the application by the
Company. In addition, the Insured must have an Attained Age of not greater than
80 on the effective date of the increase. The increase may not be less than
$5,000. Although an increase need not be accompanied by an additional premium
(unless it is required to meet the next monthly

                                      33



deduction), the Cash Surrender Value in effect immediately after the increase
must be sufficient to cover the next monthly deduction. To the extent the Cash
Surrender Value is not sufficient, an additional premium must be paid. (See
Charges and Deductions--Monthly Deduction.) An increase in Face Amount will
result in certain additional charges. (See Charges and Deductions--Monthly
Deduction.) For the Owner's rights upon an increase in Face Amount, see Policy
Rights--Right to Examine Policy. Owners should consult their sales
representative before deciding whether to increase coverage by increasing the
Face Amount of a Policy.

     An Owner also may increase insurance coverage without increasing the
Policy's Face Amount by purchasing a lower cost Supplemental Coverage Term
Rider ("SCTR") at the time the Policy is issued. A SCTR increases the death
benefit under a Policy by the face amount of the rider. In addition, a SCTR may
be canceled separately from the Policy (i.e., it can be canceled without
causing the Policy to be canceled or to lapse), and no additional Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge is assessed in connection with a SCTR. (See Additional
Insurance Benefits-- Supplemental Coverage Term Rider.) Owners should consult
their sales representative when deciding whether to purchase a SCTR at the time
the Policy is issued.

     An Owner may increase a Policy's Face Amount (and the coverage under a
SCTR, if one was purchased) on a systematic basis by purchasing an Increasing
Benefit Rider ("IBR") at the time the Policy is issued. An IBR provides
generally for automatic annual increases in Face Amount (and in any SCTR) until
the Insured attains age 65. (See Additional Insurance Benefits--Increasing
Benefit Rider.)

     Any decrease in the Face Amount will become effective on the Monthly
Anniversary on or following receipt of the written request by the Company. The
amount of the requested decrease must be at least $5,000, and the Face Amount
remaining in force after any requested decrease may not be less than the
minimum Face Amount. If following a decrease in Face Amount, the Policy would
not comply with the maximum premium limitations required by Federal tax law
(See Payment and Allocation of Premiums), the decrease may be limited or Cash
Value may be returned to the Owner (at the Owner's election), to the extent
necessary to meet these requirements.

     Solely for the purpose of maintaining compliance with the maximum premium
limitations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("the Code"),
insurance coverage provided by a SCTR will be treated as part of the Face
Amount of a Policy. Decreases in Face Amount will be applied in the following
order:

          (1)  to any Face Amount increases resulting from a change from Death
     Benefit Option B to Death Benefit Option A; then to

          (2)  any requested increases in Face Amount, starting with the most
     recent increase, followed by the next most recent increase successively;
     then to

          (3)  any automatic increases to the initial Face Amount resulting
     from the IBR; then to

          (4)  the initial Face Amount.

     This order of reduction will be used to determine the amount of subsequent
cost of insurance charges (See Monthly Deduction--Cost of Insurance), and
whether and in what amount a surrender charge will be deducted. If the decrease
in Face Amount is made against a Policy that was subject to a surrender charge
and which has been in force for less than fifteen Policy Years, then a
surrender charge will be assessed against all Divisions and the General Account
proportionately. (See Charges and Deductions--Contingent Deferred Sales Charge.)

                                      34



     Owners may reduce or cancel coverage under a SCTR separately from the Face
Amount of a Policy. Likewise, the Face Amount of a Policy may be decreased
without reducing the coverage of any SCTR. In the event, however, that an Owner
who has a SCTR requests a reduction in coverage without specifying whether the
SCTR coverage or the Face Amount should be reduced, the SCTR coverage will be
reduced first followed by the Face Amount (in the order shown above for Face
Amount reductions) as follows:

          (1)    any automatic increases to the SCTR resulting from an IBR;
                 then to

          (2)    any SCTR coverage.

     Because no CDSC is assessed in connection with a reduction of coverage
under a SCTR, such a reduction may be less expensive than a decrease in Face
Amount if that increment of Face Amount would be subject to a CDSC. On the
other hand, continuing coverage on such an increment of Face Amount may have a
cost of insurance that is higher than the same amount of coverage under the
SCTR. Owners should consult their sales representative before deciding whether
to reduce Face Amount or SCTR coverage under a Policy.

     Payment of the Death Benefit. The death benefit under the Policy will
ordinarily be paid in a lump sum within seven days after the Company receives
all documentation required for such a payment. Payment may, however, be
postponed in certain circumstances. (See General Matters-- Postponement of
Payments from the Separate Account.) The death benefit will be increased by any
unpaid dividends determined prior to the Insured's death, and by the amount of
the monthly cost of insurance for the portion of the month from the date of
death to the end of the month, and reduced by any outstanding Indebtedness.
(See General Matters-- Additional Insurance Benefits, Dividends, and Charges
and Deductions.)

     The Company will pay interest on the death benefit from the date of the
Insured's death to the date of payment. Interest will be at an annual rate
determined by the Company, but will never be less than the guaranteed rate of
4.0%. Provisions for settlement of the death benefit other than a lump sum
payment may only be made upon written agreement with the Company.

Cash Value

     The Cash Value of the Policy is equal to the total of the amounts credited
to the Owner in the Separate Account, the Loan Account (securing Policy Loans),
and, in certain contracts, the General Account. The Policy's Cash Value in the
Separate Account will reflect the investment performance of the chosen
Divisions of the Separate Account as measured by each Division's Net Investment
Factor (defined below), the frequency and amount of Net Premiums paid,
transfers, partial withdrawals, loans, and the charges assessed in connection
with the Policy. An Owner may at any time surrender the Policy and receive the
Policy's Cash Surrender Value. (See Policy Rights--Surrender, and Partial
Withdrawals.) The Policy's Cash Value in the Separate Account equals the sum of
the Policy's Cash Value in each Division. There is no guaranteed minimum Cash
Value.

     Determination of Cash Value. Cash Value is determined on each Valuation
Date. On the Investment Start Date, the Cash Value in a Division will equal the
portion of any Net Premium allocated to the Division, reduced by the portion
allocated to that Division of the monthly deduction(s) due from the Issue Date
through the Investment Start Date. Depending upon the length of time between
the Issue Date and the Investment Start Date, this amount may be more than the
amount of one monthly deduction. (See Payment and Allocation of Premiums.)
Thereafter, on each Valuation Date, the Cash Value in a Division of the
Separate Account will equal:

                                      35



          (1)  The Cash Value in the Division on the preceding Valuation Date,
     multiplied by the Division's Net Investment Factor (defined on the next
     page) for the current Valuation Period; plus

          (2)  Any Net Premium payments received during the current Valuation
     Period which are allocated to the Division; plus

          (3)  Any loan repayments allocated to the Division during the current
     Valuation Period; plus

          (4)  Any amounts transferred to the Division from the General Account
     or from another Division during the current Valuation Period; plus

          (5)  That portion of the interest credited on outstanding loans which
     is allocated to the Division during the current Valuation Period; minus

          (6)  Any amounts transferred from the Division to the General Account
     or to another Division during the current Valuation Period (including any
     transfer charges); minus

          (7)  Any amount transferred from the Division to the Loan Account
     during that Valuation Period; minus

          (8)  Any partial withdrawals from the Division during the current
     Valuation Period; minus

          (9)  Any withdrawal or surrender charges incurred during the current
     Valuation Period attributed to the Division in connection with a partial
     withdrawal or decrease in face amount; minus (10) If a Monthly Anniversary
     occurs during the current Valuation Period, the portion of the monthly
     deduction allocated to the Division during the current Valuation Period to
     cover the Policy Month which starts during that Valuation Period. (See
     Charges and Deductions.)

     Net Investment Factor. The Net Investment Factor measures the investment
performance of a Division during a Valuation Period. The Net Investment Factor
for each Division for a Valuation Period is calculated as follows:

          (1)  The value of the assets at the end of the preceding Valuation
     Period; plus

          (2)  The investment income and capital gains, realized or unrealized,
     credited to the assets in the Valuation Period for which the Net
     Investment Factor is being determined; minus

          (3)  The capital losses, realized or unrealized, charged against
     those assets during the Valuation Period; minus

          (4)  Any amount charged against each Division for taxes, including
     any tax or other economic burden resulting from the application of the tax
     laws determined by the Company to be properly attributable to the
     Divisions of the Separate Account, or any amount set aside during the
     Valuation Period as a reserve for taxes attributable to the operation or
     maintenance of each Division; minus

          (5)  A charge equal to .002455% of the average net assets for each
     day in the Valuation Period. This is equivalent to an effective annual
     rate of 0.90% for mortality and expense risks; divided by

                                      36



          (6)  The value of the assets at the end of the preceding Valuation
     Period.

                                 POLICY RIGHTS

Loans

     Loan Privileges. After the first Policy Anniversary, the Owner may, by
written request to General American, borrow an amount up to the Loan Value of
the Policy, with the Policy serving as sole security for such loan. A loan
taken from, or secured by, a Policy may have Federal income tax consequences.
(See Federal Tax Matters.)

     The Loan Value is 90% of the Cash Value of the Policy on the date the loan
request is received, less interest to the next Policy Anniversary, less
anticipated monthly deductions to the next loan interest due date, less any
outstanding Indebtedness, and less any surrender charges. If required by state
law, the Policy's Loan Value may be a greater percentage of the Cash Value as
described in the Policy.

     Policy Loan Interest is Payable on Each Policy Anniversary. The minimum
amount that may be borrowed is $500. The loan may be completely or partially
repaid at any time while the Insured is living. Any amount due to an Owner
under a Policy Loan ordinarily will be paid within seven days after General
American receives the loan request at its Home Office, although payments may be
postponed under certain circumstances. (See General Matters--Postponement of
Payments from the Separate Account.)

     When a Policy Loan is made, Cash Value equal to the amount of the loan
will be transferred to the Loan Account as security for the loan. A Loan
Subaccount exists within the Loan Account for the General Account and each
Division of the Separate Account. Amounts transferred to the Loan Account to
secure Indebtedness are allocated to the appropriate Loan Subaccount to reflect
its origin. Unless the Owner requests a different allocation, amounts will be
transferred from the Divisions of the Separate Account and the General Account
in the same proportion that the Policy's Cash Value in each Division and the
General Account, if any, bears to the Policy's total Cash Value, less the Cash
Value in the Loan Account, at the end of the Valuation Period during which the
request for a Policy Loan is received. This will reduce the Policy's Cash Value
in the General Account and Separate Account. These transactions will not be
considered transfers for purposes of the limitations on transfers between
Divisions to or from the General Account.

     Cash Value in the Loan Account is expected to earn interest at a rate
("the earnings rate") which is lower than the rate charged on the Policy Loan
("the borrowing rate"). In Policy Years one through ten, Cash Value in the Loan
Account will accrue interest daily at an earnings rate which is the greater of
(a) an annual rate of 4.0% ("the guaranteed earnings rate") or (b) a current
rate determined by us ("the discretionary earnings rate"). The Company may
change the discretionary earnings rate on Policy Loans at any time in its sole
discretion. Currently, we accrue interest at a discretionary earnings rate
which is .85% less than the borrowing rate we charge for Policy Loan interest.
The difference between the rate of interest earned and the borrowing rate is
the "Loan Spread". The .85% Loan Spread mentioned above is currently in effect
and is not guaranteed.

     Beginning in the eleventh Policy Year, we guarantee that the Loan Spread
will not exceed .50% ("the guaranteed loan spread"). Beginning in the eleventh
Policy Year and thereafter, the Loan Spread will be the lesser of (a) the
guaranteed loan spread or (b) a current loan spread determined by us ("the
discretionary loan spread"). The Company may change the discretionary loan
spread at any time in its sole discretion. Currently the discretionary loan
spread beginning in the eleventh Policy Year is .25%, but this discretionary
loan spread is not guaranteed.

                                      37



     Interest earned on the Cash Value held in the Loan Account will be
allocated on Policy Anniversaries to the General Account and the Divisions of
the Separate Account in the same proportion that the Cash Value in each Loan
Subaccount bears to the Cash Value in the Loan Account. The interest earned
will also be allocated, as appropriate: (1) when a new Policy Loan is made;
(2) when a Policy Loan is partially or fully repaid; and (3) when an amount is
needed to meet a monthly deduction.

     Interest Charged. The borrowing rate we charge for Policy Loan interest
will be based on an index. The indexed borrowing rate will never be more than
the maximum loan rate permitted by law. More information on the borrowing rate
is provided below.

     General American will inform the Owner of the current borrowing rate when
a Policy Loan is made. General American will also mail the Owner an advance
notice if there is to be a change in the borrowing rate applicable to any
outstanding Indebtedness.

     Policy Loan interest is due and payable annually on each Policy
Anniversary. If the Owner does not pay the interest when it is due, the unpaid
interest will be added to the outstanding Indebtedness as of the due date and
will be charged interest at the same rate as the rest of the Indebtedness. (See
Effect of Policy Loans below.) The amount of Policy Loan interest which is
transferred to the Loan Account will be deducted from the Divisions of the
Separate Account and from the General Account in the same proportion that the
portion of the Cash Value in each Division and in the General Account,
respectively, bears to the total Cash Value of the Policy, minus the Cash Value
in the Loan Account.

     We determine the borrowing rate at the beginning of each Policy Year. The
same rate applies to any outstanding Indebtedness and to any new Policy Loans
made during the Policy Year. The borrowing rate determined by General American
for a Policy Year may not exceed a Maximum Limit which is the greater of:

          (1)  The Published Monthly Average (defined below) for the calendar
     month ending two months before the beginning of the month in which the
     Policy Anniversary falls (example: for a Policy with a June Policy
     Anniversary, the March Published Average); or

          (2)  Five Percent (5.0%).

     The Published Monthly Average means:

          (1)  Moody's Corporate Bond Yield Average-Monthly Average Corporates,
     as published by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or any successor to that
     service; or

          (2)  If that average is no longer published, a substantially similar
     average, established by regulation issued by the insurance supervisory
     official of the state in which this Policy is issued.

     If the Maximum Limit for a Policy Year, as determined in this manner, is
at least .50% higher than the borrowing rate determined by General American for
the previous Policy Year, General American may increase the borrowing rate up
to the Maximum Limit. If the Maximum Limit for a Policy Year is at least .50%
lower than the borrowing rate determined by General American for the previous
Policy Year, General American will reduce the borrowing rate to no more than
the Maximum Limit. Therefore, the borrowing rate we charge for Policy Loan
interest will only change if the Published Monthly Average differs from the
previous borrowing rate by at least .50%.

     Effect of Policy Loans. Whether or not a Policy Loan is repaid, it will
permanently affect the Cash Value of a Policy and may permanently affect the
amount of the death benefit. The collateral for the

                                      38



loan (the amount held in the Loan Account) does not participate in the
performance of the Separate Account while the loan is outstanding. If the Loan
Account earnings rate is less than the investment performance of the selected
Division(s), the Cash Value of the Policy will be lower as a result of the
Policy Loan. Conversely, if the Loan Account earnings rate is higher than the
investment performance of the Division(s), the Cash Value of the Policy may be
higher.

     In addition, if the Indebtedness (See Definitions--Indebtedness) exceeds
the Cash Value minus the surrender charges on any Monthly Anniversary, the
Policy will lapse, subject to a grace period. (See Policy Lapse and
Reinstatement--Lapse.) A sufficient payment must be made within the later of
the grace period of 62 days from the Monthly Anniversary immediately before the
date the Indebtedness exceeds the Cash Value less any surrender charges, or 31
days after notice that a Policy will terminate unless a sufficient payment has
been mailed, or the Policy will lapse and terminate without value. A lapsed
Policy, however, may later be reinstated, subject to certain limitations. (See
Payment and Allocation of Premiums--Policy Lapse and Reinstatement.)

     Any outstanding Indebtedness will be deducted from the proceeds payable
upon the death of the Insured or surrender.

     Repayment of Indebtedness. A Policy Loan may be repaid in whole or in part
at any time prior to the death of the Insured and as long as a Policy is in
force. When a loan repayment is made, an amount securing the Indebtedness in
the Loan Account equal to the loan repayment will be transferred to the
Divisions of the Separate Account and the General Account in the same
proportion that the Cash Value in each Loan Subaccount bears to Cash Value in
the Loan Account. Amounts paid while a Policy Loan is outstanding will be
treated as premiums unless the Owner requests in writing that they be treated
as repayment of Indebtedness.

Surrender and Partial Withdrawals

     At any time during the lifetime of the Insured and while a Policy is in
force, the Owner may surrender the Policy by sending a written request to the
Company. After the first Policy Year, an Owner may make a partial withdrawal by
sending a written request to the Company. The amount available for surrender is
the Cash Surrender Value at the end of the Valuation Period during which the
surrender request is received at the Company's Home Office. Amounts payable
from the Separate Account upon surrender or partial withdrawal will ordinarily
be paid within seven days of receipt of the written request. (See General
Matters--Postponement of Payments from the Separate Account.)

     Surrenders. To effect a surrender, either the Policy itself must be
returned to the Company along with the request or the request must be
accompanied by a completed affidavit of loss, which is available from the
Company. Upon surrender, the Company will pay the Cash Surrender Value, plus
any unpaid dividends determined prior to surrender (See Dividends.) to the
Owner in a single sum. The Cash Surrender Value equals the Cash Value on the
date of surrender, less any outstanding Indebtedness, and less any surrender
charges (See Charges and Deductions--Contingent Deferred Sales Charge.) The
Company will determine the Cash Surrender Value as of the date that an Owner's
written request is received at the Company's Home Office. If the request is
received on a Monthly Anniversary, the monthly deduction otherwise deductible
will be included in the amount paid. The Policy will terminate as of the date
of surrender. The Insured must be living at the time of a surrender. A
surrender may have Federal income tax consequences. (See Federal Tax Matters.)

     Partial Withdrawals. After the first Policy Year, an Owner may make up to
one partial withdrawal each Policy Month from the Separate Account and up to
four partial withdrawals and transfers in any Policy Year from the General
Account. A partial withdrawal may have Federal income tax consequences. (See
Federal Tax Matters.)

                                      39



     The minimum amount of a partial withdrawal request, net of any applicable
surrender charges, is the lesser of (a) $500 from a Division of the Separate
Account or (b) the Policy's Cash Value in a Division. (See Charges and
Deductions--Contingent Deferred Sales Charge.) Partial withdrawals made during
a Policy Year may not exceed the following limits. The maximum amount that may
be withdrawn from a Division of the Separate Account is the Policy's Cash Value
in that Division, net of any applicable surrender charges. The total partial
withdrawals and transfers from the General Account over the Policy Year may not
exceed a maximum amount equal to the greater of (a) 25% of the Cash Surrender
Value in the General Account at the beginning of the Policy Year or (b) the
previous Policy Year's maximum amount.

     The Owner may allocate the amount withdrawn plus any applicable surrender
charges, subject to the above conditions, among the Divisions of the Separate
Account and the General Account. If no allocation is specified, then the
partial withdrawal will be allocated among the Divisions of the Separate
Account and the General Account in the same proportion that the Policy's Cash
Value in each Division and the General Account bears to the total Cash Value of
the Policy, less the Cash Value in the Loan Account, on the date the request
for the partial withdrawal is received. If the limitations on withdrawals from
the General Account will not permit this proportionate allocation, the Owner
will be requested to provide an alternate allocation. (See The General Account.)

     Generally, any surrender charges imposed in connection with a partial
withdrawal will be allocated among the Divisions of the Separate Account and
the General Account in the same proportion as the partial withdrawal is
allocated. An Owner may request, however, that a surrender charge applicable to
an amount withdrawn from a Division be paid from an Owner's Cash Value in
another Division. No amount may be withdrawn that would result in there being
insufficient Cash Value to meet any surrender charges that would be payable
immediately following the withdrawal upon the surrender of the remaining Cash
Value.

     The death benefit will be affected by a partial withdrawal. If Death
Benefit Option A or Death Benefit Option C is in effect and the death benefit
equals the Face Amount, then a partial withdrawal will decrease the Face Amount
by an amount equal to the partial withdrawal plus the applicable surrender
charges resulting from that partial withdrawal. If the death benefit is based
on a percentage of the Cash Value, then a partial withdrawal will decrease the
Face Amount by an amount by which the partial withdrawal plus the applicable
surrender charges exceeds the difference between the death benefit and the Face
Amount. If Death Benefit Option B is in effect, the Face Amount will not change.

     The Face Amount remaining in force after a partial withdrawal may not be
less than the minimum Face Amount. Any request for a partial withdrawal that
would reduce the Face Amount below this amount will not be implemented.

     If the Face Amount of a Policy has been increased or if a SCTR has been
purchased, then a partial withdrawal which reduces the Face Amount will usually
affect the way in which the cost of insurance charge is calculated, as
different increments of Face Amount and coverage under a SCTR will often have
different cost of insurance rates (See Monthly Deduction--Cost of Insurance.)
Partial withdrawals will be applied, in the following order, to reduce:

          (1)  the initial Face Amount (subject to the Policy's minimum Face
     Amount); then to

          (2)  any automatic increases to the initial Face Amount resulting
     from an IBR; then to

          (3)  any requested increases in Face Amount starting with the oldest
     and proceeding to the next oldest, successively; then to

                                      40



          (4)  any Face Amount increases resulting from a change from Death
     Benefit Option B to Death Benefit Option A; then to

          (5)  any SCTR coverage; then to

          (6)  any automatic increases to the SCTR resulting from the IBR.

     The Company may change the minimum amount required for a partial
withdrawal or the number of times partial withdrawals may be made.

     Charges on Surrender, Partial Withdrawals, and Decreases. If a Policy is
surrendered, the CDSC will apply. (See Charges and Deductions-- Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge.) A decrease in Face Amount may result in a charge. A
decrease in Face Amount may decrease some or all of the initial Face Amount as
well as any increases in Face Amount. As noted above, a partial withdrawal may
cause a decrease in Face Amount and thus may result in a charge. The amount of
the charge assessed because of a decrease in Face Amount is a portion of the
charge that would be deducted upon surrender or lapse. The portion is based on
the relationship between the decrease in Face Amount and the initial Face
Amount. Charges are described in more detail under Charges and
Deductions--Contingent Deferred Sales Charge.

Transfers

     Under General American's current practices, a Policy's Cash Value, except
amounts credited to the Loan Account, may be transferred among the Divisions of
the Separate Account and, for certain contracts, between the General Account
and the Divisions. Transfers to and from the General Account are subject to
restrictions. (See The General Account--ransfers, Surrenders, Partial
Withdrawals, and Policy Loans and The General Account--General Description.)
Requests for transfers from or among Divisions of the Separate Account may be
in writing or by telephone. Transfers from or among the Divisions of the
Separate Account may be made once each Policy Month and must be in amounts of
at least $500 or, if smaller, the Policy's Cash Value in a Division. General
American ordinarily will effectuate transfers and determine all values in
connection with transfers as of the end of the Valuation Period during which
the transfer request is received.

     All requests received on the same Valuation Day will be considered a
single transfer request. Each transfer must meet the minimum requirement of
$500 or the entire Cash Value in a Division, whichever is smaller. Where a
single transfer request calls for more than one transfer, and not all of the
transfers would meet the minimum requirements, General American will effectuate
those transfers that do meet the requirements. Transfers resulting from Policy
Loans or exercise of the conversion privilege will not be counted for purposes
of the limitations on the amount or frequency of transfers allowed in each
Policy Month or Policy Year.

     Requests may be made by telephone if the Owner has chosen to use General
American's telephone transfer program. To elect this program, the Owner must
complete a form provided by General American. General American reserves the
right to cancel the telephone transfer program upon 30 days written notice.

     Although General American currently intends to continue to permit
transfers for the foreseeable future, the Policy provides that General American
may at any time revoke, modify, or limit the transfer privilege, including the
minimum amount transferable, the maximum General Account allocation percent,
and the frequency of such transfers. General American may in the future impose
a charge of no more than $25 per transfer request.

                                      41



Portfolio Rebalancing

     Over time, the funds in the General Account and the Divisions of the
Separate Account will accumulate at different rates as a result of different
investment returns. The Owner may direct that from time to time we
automatically restore the balance of your Cash Value in the General Account and
in the Divisions of the Separate Account to the percentages that you determined
in advance. There are two methods of rebalancing available--periodic and
variance.

     Periodic Rebalancing. Under this option The Owner elects a frequency
(monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually), measured from the Policy
Anniversary. On each date elected, we will rebalance the funds by generating
fund transfers to reallocate the funds according to the investment percentages
elected.

     Variance Rebalancing. Under this option the Owner elects a specific
allocation percentage for the General Account and each Division of the Separate
Account. For each such account, the allocation percentage (if not zero) must be
a whole percentage and must not be less than one percent (1%). The Owner also
elects a maximum variance percentage (5%, 10%, 15%, or 20% only), and can
exclude specific funds from being rebalanced. On each Monthly Anniversary we
will review the current fund balances to determine whether any fund balance is
outside of the variance range (either above or below) as a percentage of the
specified allocation percentage for that fund. If any fund is outside of the
variance range, we will generate transfers to rebalance all of the specified
funds back to the predetermined percentages.

     Transfers resulting from portfolio rebalancing will not be counted against
the total number of transfers allowed in a Policy Year before a charge is
applied.

     The Owner may elect either form of portfolio rebalancing by specifying it
on the policy application. The Owner may elect it later for an inforce Policy,
or may cancel it, by submitting a change form acceptable to General American
under its administrative rules.

     Only one form of portfolio rebalancing may be elected at any one time, and
portfolio rebalancing may not be used in conjunction with dollar cost averaging
(see below).

     General American reserves the right to suspend portfolio rebalancing at
any time on any class of Policies on a nondiscriminatory basis, or to charge an
administrative fee for election changes in excess of a specified number in a
Policy Year in accordance with its administrative rules.

Dollar Cost Averaging

     The Owner may direct the Company to automatically transfer amounts on a
monthly basis from the Money Market Fund to any other Division of the Separate
Account. This service is intended to allow the Owner to utilize Dollar Cost
Averaging ("DCA"), a long-term investment technique which provides for regular,
level investments over time. The Company makes no guarantees that DCA will
result in a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.

     The following rules and restrictions apply to DCA transfers:

          (1)  The minimum DCA transfer amount is $100.

          (2)  A written election of the DCA service, on a form provided by the
     Company, must be completed by the Owner and on file with the Company in
     order to begin DCA transfers.

                                      42



          (3)  In the written election of the DCA service, the Owner indicates
     how DCA transfers are to be allocated among the Divisions of the Separate
     Account. For any Division chosen to receive DCA transfers, the minimum
     percentage that may be allocated to a Division is 1% of the DCA transfer
     amount, and fractional percentages may not be used.

          (4)  DCA transfers can only be made from the Money Market Fund, and
     DCA transfers will not be allowed to the General Account.

          (5)  The DCA transfers will not count against the Policy's normal
     transfer restrictions. (See Policy Rights--Transfers.)

          (6)  The DCA transfer percentages may differ from the allocation
     percentages the Owner specifies for the allocation of Net Premiums. (See
     Payment and Allocation of Premiums--Allocation of Net Premiums and Cash
     Values.)

          (7)  Once elected, DCA transfers from the Money Market Fund will be
     processed monthly until either the value in the Money Market Fund is
     completely depleted or the Owner instructs the Company in writing to
     cancel the DCA service.

          (8)  Transfers as a result of a Policy Loan or repayment, or in
     exercise of the conversion privilege, are not subject to the DCA rules and
     restrictions. The DCA service terminates at the time the conversion
     privilege is exercised, when any outstanding amount in any Division of the
     Separate Account is immediately transferred to the General Account. (See
     Policy Rights--Loans and Policy Rights--Conversion Privilege.)

          (9)  DCA transfers will not be made until the Right to Examine Policy
     period has expired (See Right to Examine Policy).

     No fee is currently charged for DCA, but the Company reserves the right to
assess a processing fee for the DCA service. The Company reserves the right to
discontinue offering DCA upon 30 days' written notice to Owners. However, any
such discontinuation will not affect DCA services already commenced. The
Company reserves the right to impose a minimum total Cash Value, less
outstanding Indebtedness, in order to qualify for DCA service. Also, the
Company reserves the right to change the minimum necessary Cash Value and the
minimum required DCA transfer amount.

Right to Examine Policy

     The Owner may cancel a Policy within 20 days after receiving it (30 days
if the Owner is a resident of California and is age 60 or older), within 45
days after the application was signed, or within 10 days of the Company's
mailing a notice of the cancellation right, whichever is latest. If a Policy is
canceled within this time period, a refund will be paid. Except for Policies
sold in Kansas, the refund will equal all premiums paid under the Policy. (For
Policies sold in Kansas, General American will refund an amount equal to the
greater of premiums paid or (1) plus (2) where (1) is the difference between
the premiums paid, including any policy fees or other charges, and the amounts
allocated to the Separate Account under the Policy and (2) is the value of the
amounts allocated to the Separate Account under the Policy on the date the
returned Policy is received by General American or its agent.

     To cancel the Policy, the Owner should mail or deliver the Policy to
either General American or the agent who sold it. A refund of premiums paid by
check may be delayed until the check has cleared the Owner's bank. (See General
Matters--Postponement of Payments from the Separate Account.)

                                      43



     A request for an increase in Face Amount (See Policy Benefits--Death
Benefit) may also be canceled. The request for cancellation must be made within
the latest of 20 days from the date the Owner receives the new Policy
specifications page for the increase, 45 days after the application for the
increase is signed, or 10 days of mailing the notice of the cancellation right.

Conversion Privilege

     During the first 24 Policy Months following the issuance of the Policy,
the Owner may convert any Policy still in force to a guaranteed benefit life
insurance policy by instructing the Company to transfer the Policy's Cash Value
in the Separate Account to the General Account and to allocate all subsequent
Net Premiums to the General Account. A similar conversion privilege is
available during the first 24 Policy Months following a requested increase in
Face Amount. Upon exercise of this privilege, the Cash Value in the Separate
Account attributable to the increase will be transferred to the General
Account, and all subsequent Net Premiums attributable to the increase will be
allocated to the General Account.

     Transfers made pursuant to this conversion privilege will not affect the
death benefit, Face Amount, net amount at risk, rate class, or Issue Age under
a Policy. No charge will be imposed on any transfers resulting from the
exercise of this conversion privilege, and such transfers will not count
against the limitation on the amount and frequency of transfer requests allowed
in each Policy Month or Policy Year. (See Transfers.) Any limitation on
allocations to the General Account in effect at the time of an Owner's exercise
of such conversion privilege will not apply. (See The General Account.)

     Notwithstanding an exercise of the conversion privilege during the first
24 Policy Months following an increase in Face Amount, circumstances in effect
following the conversion could subject Cash Value in the General Account to
substantial investment risk. For example, if Cash Value in the Separate Account
is high relative to Cash Value in the General Account, poor investment
performance of the Divisions of the Separate Account to which the Owner has
allocated Net Premium payments could result in a greater likelihood of lapse.
If the Divisions of the Separate Account perform poorly and Cash Value is not
available in the Separate Account to pay monthly deductions, Cash Value in the
General Account could be wholly depleted, and the Policy could lapse. Because
circumstances can alter the expected outcome of an exercise of the conversion
privilege following an increase in Face Amount, Owners should consult their
sales representative or other competent advisor before deciding whether to
exercise the conversion privilege following an increase in Face Amount.

                      PAYMENT AND ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS

Issuance of a Policy

     Individuals wishing to purchase a Policy must complete an application and
submit it to an authorized registered agent of General American or to General
American's Home Office. A Policy will generally be issued to Insureds of Issue
Ages 0 through 80 for regularly underwritten contracts and, should they become
available in the future, to Insureds of Issue Ages 0 through 64 for simplified
issue and guaranteed issue contracts. General American may, in its sole
discretion, issue Policies to individuals falling outside of those Issue Ages.
Acceptance of an application is subject to General American's underwriting
rules, and General American reserves the right to reject an application for any
reason.

     The Issue Date is determined by General American in accordance with its
standard underwriting procedures for variable life insurance policies. The
Issue Date is used to determine Policy Anniversaries, Policy Years, and Policy
Months. Insurance coverages under a Policy will not take effect until the Policy

                                      44



has been delivered and the Initial Premium has been paid prior to the Insured's
death and prior to any change in health as shown in the application.

Premiums

     The Initial Premium is due on the Issue Date and may be paid to an
authorized registered agent of General American or to General American at its
Home Office. General American currently requires that the Initial Premium for a
Policy be at least equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the "Initial Annual Premium"
for the Policy. The Initial Annual Premium is the amount specified for each
Policy based on the requested initial Face Amount and the charges under the
Policy, which vary according to the Issue Age, sex, underwriting risk class,
and smoker status of the Insured. For policies issued as a result of a term
conversion from certain General American term policies, the Company requires
the Owner to pay an Initial Premium, which combined with conversion credits
given, if any, will equal one full "Initial Annual Premium" for the Policy.
(See Charges and Deductions.)

     Following the Initial Premium, subject to the limitations described below,
premiums may be paid in any amount and at any interval. Premiums after the
first premium payment must be paid to General American at its Home Office. An
Owner may establish a schedule of planned premiums which will be billed by the
Company at regular intervals. Failure to pay planned premiums, however, will
not itself cause the Policy to lapse. (See Policy Lapse and Reinstatement.)
Premium receipts will be furnished upon request.

     An Owner may make unscheduled premium payments at any time in any amount
or may skip planned premium payments, subject to the minimum and maximum
premium limitations described below.

     If a Policy is in the intended Owner's possession, but the Initial Premium
has not been paid, the Policy is not in force. Under these circumstances, the
intended Owner is deemed to have the Policy for inspection only.

     Premium Limitations. Every premium payment must be at least $10. In no
event may the total of all premiums paid in any Policy Year exceed the current
maximum premium limitations for that Policy Year. Maximum premium limits for
the Policy Year will be shown in the Owner's annual report. If the Company
receives a premium payment which would cause the Death Benefit to increase by
an amount that exceeds the Net Premium portion of the payment, then the Company
reserves the right to (1) refuse that premium payment, or (2) require
additional evidence of insurability before it accepts the premium.

     In general, for policies issued with Death Benefit Option A or Death
Benefit Option B, the maximum premium limit for a Policy Year is the largest
amount of premium that can be paid in that Policy Year such that the sum of the
premiums paid under the Policy will not at any time exceed the guideline
premium limitations needed to comply with the tax definition of life insurance.
For policies issued with Death Benefit Option C, the Company reserves the right
to impose other restrictions upon the aggregate amount of premium that may be
paid under the Policy. If at any time a premium is paid which would result in
total premiums exceeding the current maximum premium limitations, the Company
will only accept that portion of the premium which will make total premiums
equal the maximum. Any part of the premium in excess of that amount will be
returned or applied as otherwise agreed, and no further premiums will be
accepted until allowed by the current maximum premium limitations.

     In addition to the foregoing tax definitional limits on premiums, for
purposes of determining whether distributions (including loans) are a return of
income first, the Company monitors the Policy to detect whether the "seven pay
limit" has been exceeded. If the seven pay limit is exceeded, the Policy
becomes a "Modified Endowment". The Company has adopted administrative steps
designed to notify an Owner when it is believed that a premium payment will
cause a Policy to become a modified endowment

                                      45



contract. The Owner will be given a limited amount of time to request that the
premium be reversed in order to avoid the Policy's being classified as a
modified endowment contract. (See Federal Tax Matters.)

Allocation of Net Premiums and Cash Value

     Allocation of Net Premiums. In the application for a Policy, the Owner
indicates how Net Premiums are to be allocated among the Divisions of the
Separate Account, to the General Account (if available), or both. For each
Division chosen, the minimum percentage that may be allocated to a Division is
1% of the Net Premium, and fractional percentages may not be used. Certain
other restrictions apply to allocations made to the General Account (See
General Account). For Policies issued with an allowable percentage to the
General Account of more than 1%, the minimum percentage is 1%, and fractional
percentages may not be used.

     The allocation for future Net Premiums may be changed without charge at
any time by providing notice in writing to the Company. Any change in
allocation will take effect immediately upon receipt by the Company of the
written notification. No charge is imposed for changing the allocations of
future Net Premiums. The initial allocation will be shown on the application
which is attached to the Policy. The Company may at any time modify the maximum
percentage of future Net Premiums that may be allocated to the General Account.

     During the period from the Issue Date to the end of the Right to Examine
Policy period, Net Premiums will automatically be allocated to the Division
that invests in the Money Market Fund of the Capital Company. (See Right to
Examine Policy). When this period expires, the Policy's Cash Value in that
Division will be transferred to the Divisions of the Separate Account and to
the General Account (if available) in accordance with the allocation requested
in the application for the Policy, or any allocation instructions received
subsequent to receipt of the application. Net Premiums received after the Right
To Examine Policy period will be allocated according to the allocation
instructions most recently received by the Company unless otherwise instructed
for that particular premium receipt.

     The Policy's Cash Value may also be transferred between Divisions of the
Separate Account, and, if the General Account is available under the Policy,
between those Divisions and the General Account. (See Policy Rights--Transfers.)

     The value of amounts allocated to Divisions of the Separate Account will
vary with the investment performance of the chosen Divisions, and the Owner
bears the entire investment risk. This will affect the Policy's Cash Value and
may affect the death benefit as well. Owners should periodically review their
allocations of Net Premiums and the Policy's Cash Value in light of market
conditions and their overall financial planning requirements.

Policy Lapse and Reinstatement

     Lapse. Unlike conventional whole life insurance policies, the failure to
make a premium payment following the Initial Premium will not itself cause a
Policy to lapse. Lapse will occur when the Cash Surrender Value is insufficient
to cover the monthly deduction, and a grace period expires without a sufficient
payment being made.

     The grace period, which is 62 days, begins on the Monthly Anniversary on
which the Cash Surrender Value becomes insufficient to meet the next monthly
deduction. The Company will notify the Owner that Cash Surrender Value is
insufficient to cover the monthly deduction at the beginning of the grace
period by mail addressed to the last known address on file with the Company.
The notice to the Owner will indicate the amount of additional premium that
must be paid to keep the Policy in force. The

                                      46



amount of the premium required to keep the Policy in force will be the amount
required to cover the outstanding monthly deductions and premium tax charges.
(See Charges and Deductions--Monthly Deduction.) If the Company does not
receive the required amount during the grace period, the Policy will lapse and
terminate without Cash Value.

     If the Insured dies during the grace period, any overdue monthly
deductions will be deducted from the death benefit otherwise payable.

     Reinstatement. The Owner may reinstate a lapsed Policy by written
application any time within five years after the date of lapse. Reinstatement
is subject to the following conditions:

          (1)  Evidence of the insurability of the Insured satisfactory to the
     Company (including evidence of insurability of any person covered by a
     rider to reinstate the rider).

          (2)  Payment of a premium that, after the deduction of premium tax
     charges, is large enough to cover: (a) the monthly deductions due at the
     time of lapse, and (b) two times the monthly deduction due at the time of
     reinstatement.

          (3)  Payment or reinstatement of any Indebtedness. Any Indebtedness
     reinstated will cause Cash Value of an equal amount also to be reinstated.
     Any loan interest due and unpaid on the Policy Anniversary prior to
     reinstatement must be repaid at the time of reinstatement. Any loan paid
     at the time of reinstatement will cause an increase in Cash Value equal to
     the amount to be reinstated.

          (4)  The Policy cannot be reinstated if it has been surrendered.

     The amount of Cash Value on the date of reinstatement will be equal to the
amount of any Policy Loan reinstated, increased by the Net Premiums paid at
reinstatement, any Policy Loans paid at the time of reinstatement, and the
amount of any surrender charges paid at the time of lapse to the extent of the
Face Amount reinstated. The Insured must be alive on the date the Company
approves the application for reinstatement. If the Insured is not then alive,
such approval is void and of no effect.

     The effective date of reinstatement is the date the Company approves the
application for reinstatement. There will be a full monthly deduction for the
Policy Month which includes that date. (See Charges and Deductions--Monthly
Deduction.)

     The surrender charges in effect at the time of reinstatement will equal
the surrender charges in effect at the time of lapse. If only a portion of the
total Face Amount is reinstated, then only the applicable portion of the
surrender charges will be reinstated. If only a portion of the total Face
Amount is reinstated, the Cash Value immediately following reinstatement will
be increased by the applicable portion of the surrender charges imposed at the
time of lapse.

                            CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS

     Charges will be deducted in connection with the Policy to compensate the
Company for providing the insurance benefits set forth in the Policy and any
additional benefits added by rider, administering the Policy, incurring
expenses in distributing the Policy, and assuming certain risks in connection
with the Policy.

                                      47



Premium Tax Charges

     Prior to allocation of Net Premiums, premium payments will be reduced by
premium tax charges consisting of a charge for state premium taxes and a charge
for Federal income tax costs. The premium payment, less the premium tax charge,
equals the Net Premium.

     Premium Taxes. Various states and subdivisions impose a tax on premiums
received by insurance companies. Premium taxes vary from state to state and
range from 0.75 to 3.50%. A deduction of 2.10% of the premium is made from each
premium payment for these taxes. Some jurisdictions may not impose premium
taxes, while others may impose premium taxes that are more or less than the
2.10% deducted under the Policy. Accordingly, the 2.10% deduction may be higher
or lower than the actual premium tax imposed by the applicable jurisdiction.
The deduction represents the average amount the Company considers necessary to
pay the premium taxes imposed by the states and any subdivisions thereof. If
the average premium tax increases in the future, the deduction for premium
taxes will increase accordingly.

     Federal Income Tax Costs Attributable To Premium Payments. A 1.25%
deduction is taken from each premium payment to cover the Company's Federal
income tax costs attributable to the amount of premium received. The Company
has concluded that this deduction is reasonable in relation to the Company's
increased Federal tax burden as a result of Section 848 of the Internal Revenue
Code.

Monthly Deduction

     Charges will be deducted monthly from the Cash Value of each Policy ("the
monthly deduction") to compensate the Company for (a) certain administrative
costs; (b) insurance underwriting and acquisition expenses in connection with
issuing a Policy; (c) the cost of insurance; and (d) the cost of optional
benefits added by rider. The monthly deduction will be taken on the Investment
Start Date and on each Monthly Anniversary. It will be allocated among the
General Account and each Division of the Separate Account in the same
proportion that the Policy's Cash Value in the General Account and the Policy's
Cash Value in each Division bear to the total Cash Value of the Policy, less
the Cash Value in the Loan Account, on the date the deduction is taken. Because
portions of the monthly deduction, such as the cost of insurance, can vary from
month to month, the monthly deduction itself can vary in amount from month to
month.

     Monthly Administrative Charge. The Company has responsibility for the
administration of the Policies and the Separate Account. Administrative
expenses include premium billing and collection, recordkeeping, processing
death benefit claims, cash surrenders, partial withdrawals, Policy changes,
reporting and overhead costs, processing applications, and establishing Policy
records. As reimbursement for administrative expenses related to the
maintenance of each Policy and the Separate Account, the Company assesses a
monthly administration charge for each Policy. This charge is $13 per month
during the first twelve Policy Months and $6.00 per month thereafter. These
charges are guaranteed not to increase while the Policy is in force. The
Company does not anticipate that it will make any profit on the monthly
administrative charge.

     The Company may administer the Policy itself, or the Company may purchase
administrative services from such sources (including affiliates) as may be
available. Such services will be acquired on a basis which, in the Company's
sole discretion, affords the best services at the lowest cost. The Company
reserves the right to select a company to provide services which the Company
deems, in its sole discretion, is the best able to perform such services in a
satisfactory manner even though the costs for such services may be higher than
would prevail elsewhere.

                                      48



     Selection and Issue Expense Charge. An additional administrative charge
will be deducted from Cash Value as part of the monthly deduction. The charge
will compensate the Company for issuance, underwriting, processing, and
start-up expenses. These expenses include the cost of processing applications,
conducting medical examinations, and determining insurability and the Insured's
rate class. The charge will also compensate the Company for on-going
administrative costs. In the first Policy Year, the charge is $.16 per month
multiplied by the Face Amount (and by the face amount of any SCTR) divided by
1,000, and in all Policy Years thereafter, the charge is $.01 per month
multiplied by the Face Amount (and by the Face Amount of any SCTR) divided by
1,000. The Company does not anticipate that it will make any profit on the
Selection and Issue Expense Charge. The Selection and Issue Expense Charge is
guaranteed not to increase while the Policy is in force.

     The Selection and Issue Expense Charge is similarly imposed with respect
to an increase in Face Amount. In the first Policy Year following a requested
increase or an increase which results from the exercise of the Guaranteed
Option to Increase the Face Amount Rider, the charge is $.16 per month
multiplied by the Face Amount of the increase divided by 1,000, and in all
Policy Years thereafter (and when the increase results from an IBR), the charge
is $.01 per month multiplied by the Face Amount of the increase divided by
1,000. If there is a decrease in Face Amount, the charge will no longer be
taken to the extent of the decrease. The Selection and Issue Expense Charge is
not imposed in connection with a change from Death Benefit Option B to Death
Benefit Option A unless such change occurs simultaneously with a separately
requested increase in Face Amount.

     Cost of Insurance. The cost of insurance is deducted on each Monthly
Anniversary for the following Policy Month. Because the cost of insurance
depends upon a number of variables, the cost will vary for each Policy Month.
The cost of insurance is determined separately for the initial Face Amount and
for any subsequent increases in Face Amount. The Company will determine the
cost of insurance charge by multiplying the applicable cost of insurance
rate(s) by the net amount at risk (see Monthly Deduction--Cost of Insurance)
for each Policy Month.

     The cost of insurance rates are determined at the beginning of each Policy
Year for the initial Face Amount and each increase in Face Amount. The rates
will be based on the Attained Age, rate class, and sex (except for Policies
sold in Montana, see Unisex Requirements Under Montana Law) of the Insured at
issue or the date of an increase in Face Amount. The cost of insurance rates
generally increase as the Insured's Attained Age increases. The rate class of
an Insured also will affect the cost of insurance rate. For the initial Face
Amount, the Company will use the rate class on the Issue Date. For each
increase in Face Amount, other than one caused by a change in the death benefit
option, the Company will use the rate class applicable to that increase. If the
death benefit equals a percentage of Cash Value, an increase in Cash Value will
cause an automatic increase in the death benefit. The rate class for such
increase will be the same as that used for the most recent increase, excluding
any rider, that required proof of insurability. The cost of insurance is
determined in a similar manner for coverage under a SCTR and any increase in
coverage under such a rider. The current cost of insurance rate for coverage
under a SCTR is generally less than that for the Face Amount under a Policy.
The guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rates for a SCTR, however, are the
same as for the Face Amount under the Policy.

     The Company currently places Insureds into a preferred rate class, a
standard rate class, or into rate classes involving a higher mortality risk.
The degree of underwriting imposed may vary from full underwriting, to
simplified issue underwriting, and, should it become available in the future,
to guaranteed issue underwriting.

     Actual cost of insurance rates may change, and the actual monthly cost of
insurance rates will be determined by the Company based on its expectations as
to future mortality experience. However, the actual cost of insurance rates
will not be greater than the guaranteed cost of insurance rates set forth in the

                                      49



Policy. For fully underwritten and simplified issue Policies which are not in a
substandard risk class, the guaranteed cost of insurance rates are equal to
100% of the rates set forth in the male/female smoker/nonsmoker 1980 CSO
Mortality Tables (1980 CSO Table SA, 1980 CSO Table NA, 1980 CSO Table SG and
1980 CSO Table NG), age nearest birthday. Higher rates apply if the Insured is
determined to be in a substandard risk class.

     In two otherwise identical Policies, an Insured in the preferred rate
class will have a lower cost of insurance than an Insured in a rate class
involving higher mortality risk. For rate classes other than the guaranteed
issue rate class, each rate class is also divided into two categories: smokers
and nonsmokers. Nonsmoker Insureds will generally incur a lower cost of
insurance than similarly situated Insureds who smoke. Policies issued with
simplified underwriting or guaranteed issue, if it should become available in
the future, will in general incur a higher cost of insurance than Policies
issued under full underwriting.

     The net amount at risk for a Policy Month is (a) the death benefit at the
beginning of the Policy Month divided by 1.0032737 (which reduces the net
amount at risk, solely for purposes of computing the cost of insurance, by
taking into account assumed monthly earnings at an annual rate of 4.0%), less
(b) the Cash Value at the beginning of the Policy Month. If there is an
increase in Face Amount or a SCTR is in effect, a net amount at risk will be
calculated separately for the initial Face Amount, for each increase in Face
Amount, and for the SCTR. If Death Benefit Option A or Death Benefit Option C
is in effect, for purposes of determining the net amounts at risk for the
initial Face Amount and for each increase in Face Amount, Cash Value will first
be considered a part of the initial Face Amount. If the Cash Value is greater
than the initial Face Amount, the excess Cash Value will then be considered a
part of each increase in order, starting with the first increase. If Death
Benefit Option B is in effect, the net amount at risk will be determined
separately for the initial Face Amount and for each increase in Face Amount. In
calculating the cost of insurance charges, the cost of insurance rate for a
Face Amount or for coverage under a SCTR is applied to the net amount at risk
for that Face Amount.

     Additional Insurance Benefits. The monthly deduction will include charges
for any additional benefits provided by rider. (See General Matters--Additional
Insurance Benefits.)

Contingent Deferred Sales Charge ("CDSC")

     For a period of up to 15 years after the Issue Date or the effective date
of a Face Amount increase, the Company will impose a CDSC upon surrender,
lapse, or a requested decrease in Face Amount. The Company will also impose the
CDSC upon a partial withdrawal that results in a decrease in Face Amount. The
amount of the CDSC will depend upon a number of factors, including the type of
event (surrender, partial withdrawal, lapse, or decrease in Face Amount), the
amount of any premium payments made under the Policy prior to the event, and
the number of Policy Years elapsed since the Policy was issued or the Face
Amount was increased, as applicable.

     A separate CDSC applies to the initial Face Amount and to each increase in
Face Amount and is deducted whenever (and to the extent that) a surrender,
lapse, or Face Amount decrease affects the applicable increment of Face Amount.
For example, after an increase in Face Amount, the Company will assess the CDSC
applicable to the increase on a surrender, lapse, or decrease of that increase
in Face Amount. The length of time over which a CDSC will apply to any
increment of Face Amount will depend upon the Attained Age of the Insured on
the Issue Date or the effective date of the increase, as applicable, and the
Insured's sex and risk class. The table below shows the duration of the CDSC:

     Calculation of Charge. The CDSC will equal the CDSC grading percentage
multiplied by the sum of (1) and (2) where:

          (1)  is 40% of the lesser of the premium payments made or the Target
     Premium for the Policy, excluding any riders, and

          (2)  is the Excess Premium Surrender Charge Factor multiplied by
     premium payments made in excess of the Target Premium for the Policy,
     excluding any riders.

     With regard to a Face Amount increase:

          (1)  is 40% of the lesser of the premium payments attributable to the
     increase or the Target Premium for the increase, and

          (2)  is the Excess Premium Surrender Charge Factor multiplied by
     premium payments attributable to the increase in excess of the Target
     Premium for the increase.

     The Excess Premium Surrender Charge Factors vary with the Attained Age,

     sex, and risk class of the Insured. The Target Premium for the Policies is
somewhat less than the guideline annual premium as defined in Rule 6e-3 (T) (c)
(8) (hereinafter, a "GAP").

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the CDSC for the initial Face Amount during
the first two Policy Years will not exceed 30% of the first GAP paid under the
Policy, 10% of the second GAP paid, and 9% of premium payments made in excess
of two GAP's. Likewise, the CDSC for any increase in Face Amount during the
first two Policy Years following the increase will not exceed 30% of the first
GAP attributable to the increase, 10% of the second GAP attributable to the
increase, and 9% of premium payments attributable to the increase in excess of
two GAP's.

                                      53



     The CDSC compensates the Company for expenses relating to the distribution
of the Policy, including agents' commissions, advertising, and the printing of
the Prospectus and sales literature.

     The Target Premium depends upon the Insured's Attained Age (on the Issue
Date or on the effective date of a requested increase), sex (except under any
Policies sold in Montana, see Unisex Requirements Under Montana Law), and
smoking risk class. The Target Premium will be fixed and determined on the
Issue Date or the effective date of any requested increase in Face Amount. The
Target Premium for the initial Face Amount or a requested increase in Face
Amount is determined by multiplying (a) the applicable factor per $1,000 of
Face Amount from Appendix B (using the Insured's Attained Age on the Issue Date
or on the effective date of an increase), by (b) the initial Face Amount or the
Face Amount of the increase, and dividing the result by 1,000.

     Because additional premium payments are not required to fund a requested
increase in Face Amount, a special rule applies to determine the amount of
"premiums attributable to the increase." In general, "premiums attributable to
the increase" will equal the sum of a proportionate share of the Cash Surrender
Value on the effective date of the increase, before any deductions are taken,
plus a proportionate share of premium payments actually made on or after the
effective date of the increase.

     This means that, in effect, in calculating the amount of the Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge a portion of the existing Cash Surrender Value will be
deemed to be a premium payment for the increase, and subsequent premium
payments will be prorated. The proportion of existing Cash Surrender Value and
subsequent premium payments attributable to the increase will equal the ratio
of the Target Premium for the requested increase to the sum of the Target
Premiums for the total Face Amount in effect under the Policy, including the
Target Premium for the requested increase. See Appendix B for a table of Target
Premium Factors.

     Charge Assessed Upon Decreases. Assuming there has been no prior requested
increase in Face Amount, the amount of the Contingent Deferred Sales Charge
deducted upon a decrease in Face Amount will equal a fraction of the charge
that would be deducted if the Policy were surrendered at that time. The
fraction will be determined by dividing the amount of the decrease by the
Policy's Face Amount on the Issue Date of the Policy and multiplying the result
by the charge.

     If there has been a prior increase in Face Amount, the amount of the
charge will depend on whether the initial Face Amount or subsequent increases
in Face Amount are being decreased, which, in turn, will depend on whether the
decrease arises from a partial withdrawal or a requested decrease in Face
Amount. (See Policy Benefits--Death Benefit--Change in Face Amount and
Additional Coverage from Riders, and Policy Rights--Surrender and Partial
Withdrawals.) The charge deducted will equal the proportionate amount of the
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge for each portion of the Face Amount being
decreased, based on the relationship of the decrease to the applicable portions
of the Face Amount.

     Reduction of Charges. The Policy is available for purchase by individuals,
corporations, and other institutions. For certain individuals and certain
corporate or other group or sponsored arrangements purchasing one or more
Policies, General American may waive or reduce the amount of the Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge, Selection and Issue Expense Charge, monthly
administrative charge, or other charges where the expenses associated with the
sale of the Policy or Policies or the underwriting or other administrative
costs associated with the Policy or Policies are reduced.

     Sales, underwriting, or other administrative expenses may be reduced for
reasons such as expected economies resulting from a corporate purchase or a
group or sponsored arrangement; from the amount of the Initial Premium payment
or payments; from the amount of projected premium payments; or from lower
Target Premiums when the death benefit under a Policy has been increased by the
amount of the coverage provided by a SCTR. General American will determine in
its discretion if, and in what

                                      54



amount, a reduction is appropriate. The Company may modify its criteria for
qualification for reduction of charges as experience is gained, subject to the
limitation that such reductions will not be unfairly discriminatory against the
interests of any Owner.

Separate Account Charges

     Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. General American will deduct a daily
charge from the Separate Account at the rate of .002455% of the average net
assets of each Division of the Separate Account, which equals an effective
annual rate of.90% of those net assets. This deduction is guaranteed not to
increase while the Policy is in effect. General American may realize a profit
from this charge.

     The mortality risk assumed by General American is that Insureds may die
sooner than anticipated and that therefore General American will pay an
aggregate amount of death benefits greater than anticipated. The expense risk
assumed is that expenses incurred in issuing and administering the Policy will
exceed the amounts realized from the administrative charges assessed against
the Policy.

     Fund Expenses. The value of the net assets of the Separate Account will
reflect the investment advisory fee and other expenses incurred by the
underlying investment companies. See the prospectuses for the respective Funds
for a description of investment advisory fees and other expenses.

     No charges are currently made to the Separate Account for Federal, state,
or local taxes that the Company incurs which may be attributable to such
Separate Account or to the Policy. The Company may make a charge for any taxes
or economic burden resulting from the application of the tax laws that it
determines to be properly attributable to the Separate Account or to the
Policy. (See Federal Tax Matters.)

                                   DIVIDENDS

     The Policy is a participating Policy which is entitled to a share, if any,
of the divisible surplus of the Company as determined each year and apportioned
to it. This surplus will be distributed as a dividend payable annually on the
January Monthly Anniversary. If the Insured dies after the dividend has been
determined, the Company will pay any unpaid dividend to the Beneficiary.
Because investment results are credited directly through changes in the
Policy's Cash Value, the Company expects little or no divisible surplus to be
credited to a policy; no dividends have been credited in the past.

     Dividends under participating policies may be described as refunds of
premiums which adjust the cost of a Policy to the actual level of costs
emerging over time after the issue of the Policies. Both Federal and state law
recognize that dividends are generally considered to be a refund of a portion
of the premium paid and therefore are not treated as income for Federal or
state income tax purposes. However, depending on the dividend payment option
chosen (See below), dividends may have tax consequences to Owners. Counsel or
other competent tax advisors should be consulted for more complete information.

     Dividend illustrations published at the time of issue of a Policy reflect
the actual recent experience of the issuing insurance company with respect to
factors such as interest, mortality, and expenses.

     State law generally prohibits a company from projecting or estimating
future results. State law also requires that dividends must be based on
surplus, after setting aside certain necessary amounts, and that such surplus
must be apportioned equitably among participating policies. In other words, in
principle and by statute, dividends must be based on actual experience and
cannot be guaranteed at issue of a Policy.

                                      55



     Each year the Company's actuary analyzes the current and recent past
experience and compares it to the assumptions used in determining the premium
rates at the time of issue. Some of the more important data studied includes
mortality and lapse rates, investment yield in the General Account, and actual
expenses incurred in administering the Policy. Such data is then allocated to
each dividend class, e.g., by year of issue, age, and plan. The actuary then
determines what dividends can be equitably apportioned to each Policy class and
makes a recommendation to the Company's Board of Directors ("the Board"). The
Board, which has the ultimate authority to declare dividends, will vote the
amount of surplus to be apportioned to each Policy class, thereby authorizing
the distribution of the annual dividend.

     An Owner may choose one of the following dividend options. Dividends will
be credited under the chosen option until the Owner changes it. If the Owner
does not choose an option, the Company will credit the dividend under Dividend
Option B until such time as the Owner requests in writing a different option.

     Dividend Option A: Cash. The amount of the dividend will be paid in cash.

     Dividend Option B: Increase Cash Value. The amount of the dividend will be
added to the Policy's Cash Value on the date of the dividend payment.

     The Cash Value will be increased by the amount of the dividend. The
dividend will be allocated to the General Account (if available) and the
Divisions of the Separate Account according to the current allocation of Net
Premium.

                              THE GENERAL ACCOUNT

     Because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions, interests in the General
Account have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and the
General Account has not been registered as an investment company under the 1940
Act. Accordingly, neither the General Account nor any interests therein are
subject to the provisions of these Acts and, as a result, the staff of the SEC
has not reviewed the disclosure in this Prospectus relating to the General
Account. The disclosure regarding the General Account may, however, be subject
to certain generally applicable provisions of the Federal securities laws
relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in prospectuses.

General Description

     The General Account consists of all assets owned by General American other
than those in the Separate Account and other separate accounts.

     Subject to applicable law, General American has sole discretion over the
investment of the assets of the General Account.

     At issue, General American will determine the maximum percentage of the
non-borrowed Cash Value that may be allocated, either initially or by transfer,
to the General Account. The ability to allocate Net Premiums or to transfer
Cash Value to the General Account may not be made available, in the Company's
discretion, under certain Policies.

     Further, the option may be limited with respect to some Policies. The
Company may, from time to time, adjust the extent to which premiums or Cash
Value may be allocated to the General Account ("the maximum allocation
percentage"). Such adjustments may not be uniform as to all Policies. General
American may at any time modify the General Account maximum allocation
percentage. Subject to this maximum, an Owner may elect to allocate Net
Premiums to the General Account, the Separate Account,

                                      56



or both. Subject to this maximum, the Owner may also transfer Cash Value from
the Divisions of the Separate Account to the General Account or from the
General Account to the Divisions of the Separate Account. The allocation of Net
Premiums or the transfer of Cash Value to the General Account does not entitle
an Owner to share in the investment experience of the General Account. Instead,
General American guarantees that Cash Value allocated to the General Account
will accrue interest at a rate of at least 4.0%, compounded annually,
independent of the actual investment experience of the General Account.

     The Loan Account is part of the General Account.

The Policy

     This Prospectus describes a flexible premium variable life insurance
policy. This Prospectus is generally intended to serve as a disclosure document
only for the aspects of the Policy relating to the Separate Account. For
complete details regarding the General Account, see the Policy itself.

General Account Benefits

     If the Owner allocates all Net Premiums only to the General Account and
makes no transfers, partial withdrawals, or Policy Loans, the entire investment
risk will be borne by General American, and General American guarantees that it
will pay at least a minimum specified death benefit.

     The Owner may select Death Benefit Option A, B, or C under the Policy and
may change the Policy's Face Amount subject to satisfactory evidence of
insurability.

General Account Cash Value

     Net Premiums allocated to the General Account are credited to the Cash
Value. General American bears the full investment risk for these amounts and
guarantees that interest will be credited to each Owner's Cash Value in the
General Account at a rate of no less than 4% per year, compounded annually.
General American may, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, credit a higher rate of interest,
although it is not obligated to credit interest in excess of 4.0% per year and
might not do so. ANY INTEREST CREDITED ON THE POLICY'S CASH VALUE IN THE
GENERAL ACCOUNT IN EXCESS OF THE GUARANTEED MINIMUM RATE OF 4.0% PER YEAR WILL
BE DETERMINED IN THE SOLE DISCRETION OF GENERAL AMERICAN. THE POLICY OWNER
ASSUMES THE RISK THAT INTEREST CREDITED MAY NOT EXCEED THE GUARANTEED MINIMUM
RATE OF 4.0% PER YEAR. If excess interest is credited, a different rate of
interest may be applied to the Cash Value in the Loan Account. The Cash Value
in the General Account will be calculated on each Monthly Anniversary of the
Policy.

     General American guarantees that, on each Valuation Date, the Cash Value
in the General Account will be the amount of the Net Premiums allocated or Cash
Value transferred to the General Account, plus interest at the rate of 4.0% per
year, plus any excess interest which General American credits and any amounts
transferred into the General Account, less the sum of all Policy charges
allocable to the General Account and any amounts deducted from the General
Account in connection with partial withdrawals, surrender charges, or transfers
to the Separate Account.

Transfers, Surrenders, Partial Withdrawals, and Policy Loans

     After the first Policy Year and prior to the death of the Insured, a
portion of Cash Value may be withdrawn from the General Account or transferred
from the General Account to the Separate Account. A maximum total of four
partial withdrawals and transfers from the General Account is permitted in a

                                      57



Policy Year. A partial withdrawal, net of any applicable surrender charges, and
any transfer must be at least $500 or the Policy's entire Cash Value in the
General Account if less than $500. No amount may be withdrawn from the General
Account that would result in there being insufficient Cash Value to meet any
surrender charges that would be payable immediately following the withdrawal
upon the surrender of the remaining Cash Value of the Policy. The total amount
of transfers and withdrawals in a Policy Year may not exceed a Maximum Amount
equal to the greater of (a) 25% of the Cash Surrender Value in the General
Account at the beginning of the Policy Year or (b) the previous Policy Year's
Maximum Amount (not to exceed the total Cash Surrender Value of the Policy).

     Transfers to the General Account are limited by the maximum allocation
percentage (described above) in effect for a Policy at the time a transfer
request is made.

     Policy Loans may also be made from the Policy's Cash Value in the General
Account.

     Loans and withdrawals from the General Account may have Federal income tax
consequences. (See Federal Tax Matters.)

     No transfer charge currently is imposed on transfers to and from the
General Account. However, such a charge may be imposed in the future.

     General American may revoke or modify the privilege of transferring
amounts to or from the General Account at any time. Partial withdrawals will
result in the imposition of the applicable surrender charges.

     Transfers, surrenders, and partial withdrawals payable from the General
Account and the payment of Policy Loans allocated to the General Account may,
subject to certain restrictions, be delayed for up to six months.

     However, if payment is deferred for 30 days or more, General American will
pay interest at the rate of 2.5% per year for the period of the deferment.

                                GENERAL MATTERS

Postponement of Payments from the Separate Account

     The Company usually pays amounts payable on partial withdrawal, surrender,
or Policy Loans allocated to the Separate Account Divisions within seven days
after written notice is received. Payment of any amount payable from the
Divisions of the Separate Account upon surrender, partial withdrawals, death of
Insured, as well as payments of a Policy Loan and transfers, may be postponed
whenever: (i) the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary
weekend and holiday closings) or trading on the New York Stock Exchange is
restricted as determined by the SEC; (ii) the SEC, by order, permits
postponement for the protection of Owners; or (iii) an emergency exists, as
determined by the SEC, as a result of which disposal of securities is not
reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable to determine the
value of the Separate Account's net assets. The Company may defer payment of
the portion of any Policy Loan from the General Account for not more than six
months.

     Payments under the Policy of any amounts derived from premiums paid by
check may be delayed until the check has cleared the bank upon which it is
drawn.

                                      58



The Contract

     The Policy, the attached application, any riders, endorsements, any
application for an increase in Face Amount, and any application for
reinstatement constitute the entire contract. All statements made by the
Insured in the application and any supplemental applications can be used to
contest a claim or the validity of the Policy. Any change to the Policy must be
in writing and approved by the President, a Vice President, or the Secretary of
the Company. No agent has the authority to alter or modify any of the terms,
conditions, or agreements of the Policy or to waive any of its provisions.

Control of Policy

     The Insured is the Owner of the Policy unless another person or entity is
shown as the Owner in the application. Ownership may be changed, however, as
described below. The Owner is entitled to all rights provided by the Policy,
prior to the death of the Insured. Any person whose rights of ownership depend
upon some future event does not possess any present rights of ownership. If
there is more than one Owner at a given time, all Owners must exercise the
rights of ownership by joint action. If the Owner dies, and the Owner is not
the Insured, the Owner's interest in the Policy becomes the property of his or
her estate unless otherwise provided. Unless otherwise provided, the Policy is
jointly owned by all Owners named in the Policy or by the survivors of those
joint Owners. Unless otherwise stated in the Policy, the final Owner is the
estate of the last joint Owner to die. The Company may rely on the written
request of any trustee of a trust which is the Owner of the Policy, and the
Company is not responsible for the proper administration of any such trust.

Beneficiary

     The Beneficiary(ies) is (are) the person(s) specified in the application
or by later designation. Unless otherwise stated in the Policy, the Beneficiary
has no rights in a Policy before the death of the Insured.

     If there is more than one Beneficiary at the death of the Insured, each
Beneficiary will receive equal payments unless otherwise provided by the Owner.
If no Beneficiary is living at the death of the Insured, the proceeds will be
payable to the Owner or, if the Owner is not living, to the Owner's estate.

     The Policy permits the designation of various types of trust as
Beneficiary(ies), including trusts for minor beneficiaries, trusts under a
will, and trusts under a separate written agreement. An Owner is also permitted
to designate several types of beneficiaries, including business beneficiaries.
For more details about the use of trusts and specialized types of
beneficiaries, refer to the Policy.

Change of Owner or Beneficiary

     The Owner may change the ownership and/or Beneficiary designation by
written request in a form acceptable to the Company at any time during the
Insured's lifetime, subject to any restrictions stated in the Policy and this
Prospectus. The Company may require that the Policy be returned for endorsement
of any change. If acceptable to us, the change will take effect as of the date
the request is signed, whether or not the Insured is living when the request is
received at the Company's Home Office. The Company is not liable for any
payment made or action taken before the Company received the written request
for change. If the Owner is also a Beneficiary of the Policy at the time of the
Insured's death, the Owner may, within 60 days of the Insured's death,
designate another person to receive the Policy proceeds. Any change will be
subject to any assignment of the Policy or any other legal restrictions.

                                      59



Policy Changes

     The Company reserves the right to limit the number of changes to a Policy
to one per Policy Year and to restrict changes in the first Policy Year.
Currently, only one change is permitted during any Policy Year, and no change
may be made during the first Policy Year. For this purpose, changes include
increases or decreases in Face Amount and changes in the death benefit option.
No change will be permitted that would result in this policy not satisfying the
definition of life insurance under the Internal Revenue code of 1986 or any
applicable successor provision thereto.

Conformity With Statutes

     If any provision in a Policy is in conflict with the laws of the state
governing the Policy, the provision will be deemed to be amended to conform to
such laws. In addition, the Company reserves the right to change the Policy if
it is determined that a change is necessary to cause this Policy to comply
with, or give the Owner the benefit of, any Federal or state statute, rule, or
regulation, including, but not limited to requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code, or its regulations or published rulings.

Claims of Creditors

     To the extent permitted by law, neither the Policy nor any payment under
it will be subject to the claims of creditors or to any legal process.

Incontestability

     The Policy is incontestable after it has been in force for two years from
the Issue Date during the lifetime of the Insured. An increase in Face Amount
and an addition of a rider after the Issue Date are incontestable after such
increase or addition has been in force for two years from its effective date
during the lifetime of the Insured. Any reinstatement of a Policy is
incontestable only after it has been in force during the lifetime of the
Insured for two years after the effective date of the reinstatement.

Assignment

     The Company will be bound by an assignment of a Policy only if: (a) the
assignment is in writing; (b) the original assignment instrument or a certified
copy thereof is filed with the Company at its Home Office; and (c) the Company
returns an acknowledged copy of the assignment instrument to the Owner. The
Company is not responsible for determining the validity of any assignment.
Payment of Policy proceeds is subject to the rights of any assignee of record.
If a claim is based on an assignment, the Company may require proof of the
interest of the claimant. A valid assignment will take precedence over the
claim of any Beneficiary.

Suicide

     Suicide within two years of the Issue Date is not covered by the Policy.

     If the Insured dies by suicide, while sane or insane, within two years
from the Issue Date (or within the maximum period permitted by the laws of the
state in which the Policy was delivered, if less than two years), the amount
payable will be limited to premiums paid, less any partial withdrawals and any
outstanding Indebtedness. Subject to certain limitations, if the Insured dies
by suicide, while sane or insane, within two years after the effective date of
an increase in Face Amount, the death benefit for that increase will be limited
to the amount of the monthly deductions for the increase.

                                      60



     If the Insured is a Missouri citizen when the Policy is issued, this
provision does not apply on the Issue Date of the Policy, or on the effective
date of an increase in Face Amount, unless the Insured intended suicide when
the Policy or the increase in Face Amount was applied for.

Misstatement of Age or Sex and Corrections

     If the age or sex (except under any Policies sold in Montana, see Unisex
Requirements Under Montana Law) of the Insured has been misstated in the
application, the amount of the benefit will be equitably adjusted on the basis
of the correct facts.

     Any payment or Policy changes made by the Company in good faith, relying
on its records or evidence supplied with respect to such payment, will fully
discharge the Company's duty. The Company reserves the right to correct any
errors in the Policy.

Additional Insurance Benefits

     Subject to certain requirements, one or more of the following additional
insurance benefits may be added to a Policy by rider. The descriptions below
are intended to be general; the terms of the Policy riders providing the
additional benefits may vary from state to state, and the Policy should be
consulted. Many, but not all, of these additional insurance benefits require
additional charges. The cost of any additional insurance benefits which require
additional charges will be deducted as part of the monthly deduction from the
Policy's Cash Value.

     (See Charges and Deductions--Monthly Deduction.) Certain restrictions may
apply and are described in the applicable rider. An insurance agent authorized
to sell the Policy can describe these extra benefits further.

     Samples of the provisions are available from General American upon written
request.

     Waiver of Monthly Deduction Rider. Provides for the waiver of the monthly
deduction while the Insured is totally disabled, subject to certain limitations
described in the rider. The Insured must have become disabled after age 5 and
before age 65.

     Waiver of Specified Premium Rider. Provides for crediting the Policy's
Cash Value with a specified monthly premium while the Insured is totally
disabled. The monthly premium selected at issue is not guaranteed to keep the
Policy in force. The Insured must have become disabled after age 5 and before
age 65.

     Accidental Death Benefit Rider. Provides additional insurance if the
Insured's death results from accidental bodily injury, as defined in the rider.
Under the terms of the rider, the additional benefits provided in the Policy
will be paid upon receipt of proof by the Company that death: resulted directly
from accidental bodily injury and independently of all other causes; occurred
within 120 days from the date of injury; and occurred on or after the Policy
Anniversary nearest the Insured's age 0 and before age 70.

     Children's Life Insurance Rider. Provides for term life insurance on the
Insured's children, as defined in the rider. Under the terms of the rider, the
death benefit will be payable to the named Beneficiary upon the death of any
insured child. Upon receipt of proof of the Insured's death before the rider
terminates, insurance on the life of any insured child will continue without
further premium payments.

                                      61



     Guaranteed Option to Increase the Face Amount Rider. Provides that the
Owner can purchase additional insurance under an existing Policy at certain
future dates without evidence of insurability.

     Additional Insured Family Term Rider. Provides for term life insurance on
an Additional Insured. An Additional Insured must be an immediate family member
(spouse or child) of the Insured. A rider is issued for each additional family
member individually. Under the terms of the rider, the death benefit will be
payable to the named Beneficiary upon the death of the Additional Insured.

     Increasing Benefit Rider. Provides generally for annual increases in Face
Amount under the Policy and coverages under any SCTR until the Insured attains
age 65. Increases may be either a fixed percentage or indexed to a cost of
living.

     Supplemental Coverage Term Rider. Provides additional insurance coverage
on a basis different from that under the Policy. Coverage under a SCTR
generally has a lower cost of insurance, but has no Cash Value associated with
it.

     Guaranteed Survivor Purchase Option Rider. Provides that the Beneficiary
upon death of the Insured may purchase an option policy on a "designated life."
The designated life is named in the rider section of the application for this
Policy and may not be changed. No evidence of insurability is required for the
option policy.

Records and Reports

     The Company will maintain all records relating to the Separate Account and
will mail to the Owner once each Policy Year, at the last known address of
record, a report which shows the current Policy values, premiums paid,
deductions made since the last report, and any outstanding Policy Loans. The
Owner will also be sent a periodic report for each Fund. Receipt of premium
payments, transfers, partial withdrawals,

     Policy Loans, loan repayments, changes in death benefit options, increases
or decreases in Face Amount, surrenders, and reinstatements will be confirmed
promptly following each transaction.

     An Owner may request in writing a projection of illustrated future Cash
Surrender Values and death benefits. This projection will be furnished by the
Company for a nominal fee which will not exceed $25.

                         DISTRIBUTION OF THE POLICIES

     The Policies will be sold by individuals who, in addition to being
licensed as life insurance agents for the Company, are also registered
representatives of Walnut Street Securities, Inc. ("Walnut Street"), the
principal underwriter of the Policies, or of broker-dealers who have entered
into written sales agreements with Walnut Street. Walnut Street was
incorporated under the laws of Missouri in 1984 and is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of General American Holding Company, which is, in turn, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Walnut Street is registered with the
SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a broker-dealer and is a
member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. No director or
officer of Walnut Street owns any units in the Separate Account.

     Walnut Street receives no administrative fees, management fees, or other
fee income from sales of the Policies.

                                      62



     Writing agents will receive commissions based on a commission schedule and
rules. Currently, agent first-year commissions can equal up to 45% of the
Target Premium and either 2.0% or 2.5% of the excess first year premium,
depending on the sales contract. In renewal years, the agent commissions equal
2.0%, 2.5% or 3.0% of premium paid. For all years after the first, a commission
of .34% of the average monthly non-loaned Cash Value for each Policy Year is
paid. In addition, bonuses based on first-year commissions may be earned during
years 2 through 10 if an agent is covered by a contract under which the lower
percent of premium commissions is paid. In addition, the Company, general
agent, and writing agent may enter into agreements that compensate the writing
agent for basic expenses, renewal overrides, and incentive bonuses. These are
maximum commissions, and reductions may be possible under the circumstances
outlined in the section entitled Reduction of Charges. General Agents receive
compensation which may be based in part on the level of agent commissions in
their agencies.

     The General Agent commission schedules and rules differ for different
types of agency contracts.

                              FEDERAL TAX MATTERS

Introduction

     The following summary provides a general description of the Federal income
tax considerations associated with the Policy and does not purport to be
complete or to cover all situations. This discussion is not intended as tax
advice. Counsel or other competent tax advisors should be consulted for more
complete information. This discussion is based upon General American's
understanding of the present Federal income tax laws as they are currently
interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service. No representation is made as to
the likelihood of continuation of the present Federal income tax laws or of the
current interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service.

Tax Status of the Policy

     Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("the Code")
includes a definition of a life insurance contract for Federal tax purposes.
The Secretary of the Treasury ("the Treasury") issued proposed regulations
which specify what will be considered reasonable mortality charges under
Section 7702. Guidance as to how Section 7702 is to be applied is, however,
limited. If a Policy were determined not to be a life insurance contract for
purposes of Section 7702, such Policy would not provide most of the tax
advantages normally provided by a life insurance policy.

     With respect to a Policy issued on the basis of a standard premium class
or on a guaranteed or simplified issue basis, while there is some uncertainty
due to the limited guidance under Section 7702, the Company believes that such
a Policy should meet the Section 7702 definition of a life insurance contract.
However, with respect to a Policy issued on a substandard basis (i.e., a
premium class involving higher than standard mortality risk), it is not clear
whether such a Policy would satisfy Section 7702, particularly if the Owner
pays the full amount of premiums permitted under the Policy.

     If it is subsequently determined that a Policy does not satisfy
Section 7702, the Company will take whatever steps are appropriate and
necessary to attempt to cause such a Policy to comply with Section 7702,
including possibly refunding any premiums paid that exceed the limitations
allowable under Section 7702 (together with interest or other earnings on any
such premiums refunded as required by law). For these reasons, the Company
reserves the right to modify the Policy as necessary to attempt to qualify it
as a life insurance contract under Section 7702.

     Section 817(h) of the Code authorizes the Treasury to set standards by
regulation or otherwise for the investments of the Separate Account to be
"adequately diversified" in order for the Policy to be

                                      63



treated as a life insurance contract for Federal tax purposes. The Separate
Account intends to comply with the diversification requirements prescribed by
the Treasury in Regulation Section 1.817-5, which affect how assets may be
invested. Although General American does not control the Funds, it has entered
into agreements which require these investment companies to be operated in
compliance with the requirements prescribed by the Treasury.

     The IRS has stated in published rulings that a variable contract owner
will be considered the owner of separate account assets, for federal income tax
purposes, if the contract owner possesses incidents of ownership in those
assets, such as the ability to exercise investment control over the assets. If
that were to be determined to be the case, income and gains from the separate
account assets would be includible in the variable contract owner's gross
income. The Treasury Department has also announced, in connection with the
issuance of regulations concerning diversification, that those regulations "do
not provide guidance concerning the circumstances in which investor control of
the investments of a segregated asset account may cause the investor (i.e., the
Owner), rather than the insurance company, to be treated as the owner of the
assets in the account." This announcement also stated that guidance would be
issued by way of regulations or rulings on the "extent to which policyholders
may direct their investments to particular subaccounts without being treated as
owners of the underlying assets."

     The ownership rights under the Policy are different in certain respects
from those described by the IRS in rulings in which it was determined that
policy owners were not owners of separate account assets. For example, the
Owner has additional flexibility in allocating Premium payments and Policy
Values. These differences could result in an Owner being treated as the owner
of a pro rata portion of the assets of the Separate Account. In addition, the
Company does not know what standards will be set forth, if any, in the
regulations or rulings which the Treasury Department has stated it expects to
issue. The Company therefore reserves the right to modify the Policy as
necessary to attempt to prevent an Owner from being considered the owner of a
pro rata share of the assets of the Separate Account.

     The following discussion assumes that the Policy will qualify as a life
insurance contract for Federal income tax purposes.

     1.  Tax Treatment of Policy Benefits. In general, the Company believes
that the proceeds and cash value increases of a policy should be treated in a
manner consistent with a fixed-benefit life insurance policy for Federal income
tax purposes. Thus, the death benefit under the Policy should be excludable
from the gross income of the Beneficiary under Section 101(a)(1) of the Code.

     Many changes or transactions involving a Policy may have tax consequences,
depending on the circumstances. Such changes include, but are not limited to,
the exchange of the Policy, a change of the Policy's Face Amount, a change of
Owner, an assignment, a Policy Loan, an additional premium payment, a Policy
lapse with an outstanding Policy Loan, a partial withdrawal, or a surrender of
the Policy. In addition, Federal estate and state and local estate,
inheritance, and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of Policy
proceeds depend upon the circumstances of each Owner or Beneficiary. A
competent tax advisor should be consulted for further information.

     A Policy may also be used in various arrangements, including nonqualified
deferred compensation or salary continuation plans, split dollar insurance
plans, executive bonus plans, retiree medical benefit plans and others. The tax
consequences of such plans may vary depending on the particular facts and
circumstances of each individual arrangement. Therefore, if you are
contemplating the use of a Policy in any arrangement the value of which depends
in part on its tax consequences, you should be sure to consult a qualified tax
advisor regarding the tax attributes of the particular arrangement.

     Generally, the Owner will not be deemed to be in constructive receipt of
the Policy's Cash Value, including increments thereof, until there is a
distribution. The tax consequences of distributions from, and

                                      64



Policy Loans taken from or secured by, a Policy depend on whether the Policy is
classified as a "modified endowment contract". However, upon a complete
surrender or lapse of any Policy, or when benefits are paid at such a Policy's
maturity date, if the amount received plus the amount of outstanding
Indebtedness exceeds the total investment in the Policy, the excess will
generally be treated as ordinary income subject to tax.

     2.  Modified Endowment Contracts. A Policy may be treated as a modified
endowment contract depending upon the amount of premiums paid in relation to
the death benefit provided under such Policy. The premium limitation rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are extremely
complex. In general, however, a Policy will be a modified endowment contract if
the accumulated premiums paid at any time during the first seven Policy Years
exceed the sum of the net level premiums which would have been paid on or
before such time if the Policy provided for paid-up future benefits after the
payment of seven level annual premiums.

     In addition, if a Policy is "materially changed," it may cause such Policy
to be treated as a modified endowment contract. The material change rules for
determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract are also
extremely complex. In general, however, the determination of whether a Policy
will be a modified endowment contract after a material change generally depends
upon the relationship among the death benefit at the time of such change, the
Cash Value at the time of the change, and the additional premiums paid in the
seven Policy Years starting with the date on which the material change occurs.

     Moreover, a life insurance contract received in exchange for a life
insurance contract classified as a modified endowment contract will also be
treated as a modified endowment contract. A reduction in a Policy's benefits
may also cause such Policy to become a modified endowment contract.

     Due to the Policy's flexibility, classification of a Policy as a modified
endowment contract will depend upon the circumstances of each Policy. The
Company has, however, adopted administrative steps designed to protect an Owner
against the possibility that the Policy might become a modified endowment
contract. The Company believes that the safeguards are adequate for most
situations, but it cannot provide complete assurance that a Policy will not be
classified as a modified endowment contract. At the time a premium is credited
which would cause the Policy to become a modified endowment contract, the
Company will notify the Owner that unless a refund of the excess premium is
requested by the Owner, the Policy will become a modified endowment contract.
The Owner will have 30 days after receiving such notification to request the
refund. The excess premium paid will be returned to the Owner upon receipt by
the Company of the refund request. The amount to be refunded will be deducted
from the Policy's Cash Value in the Divisions of the Separate Account and in
the General Account in the same proportion as the premium payment was allocated
to such Accounts.

     Accordingly, a prospective Owner should contact a competent tax advisor
before purchasing a Policy to determine the circumstances under which the
Policy would be a modified endowment contract. In addition, an Owner should
contact a competent tax advisor before paying any additional premiums or making
any other change to, including an exchange of, a Policy to determine whether
such premium or change would cause the Policy (or the new policy in the case of
an exchange) to be treated as a modified endowment contract.

     3.  Distributions From Policies Classified As Modified Endowment
Contracts. Policies classified as modified endowment contracts will be subject
to the following tax rules: First, all distributions, including distributions
upon surrender and benefits paid at maturity, from such a Policy are treated as
ordinary income subject to tax up to the amount equal to the excess (if any) of
the Cash Value immediately before the distribution over the investment in the
Policy (described below) at such time. Second, Policy Loans taken from, or
secured by, such a Policy, as well as due but unpaid interest thereon,

                                      65



are treated as distributions from such a Policy and taxed accordingly. Third, a
10 percent additional income tax is imposed on the portion of any distribution
from, or Policy Loan taken from or secured by, such a Policy that (a) is
included in income, except where the distribution or Policy Loan is made on or
after the Owner attains age 59-1/2, (b) is attributable to the Owner's becoming
disabled, or (c) is part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments
for the life (or life expectancy) of the Owner or the joint lives (or joint
life expectancies) of the Owner and the Owner's Beneficiary.

     4.  Distributions From Policies Not Classified As Modified Endowment
Contract. Distributions from Policies not classified as modified endowment
contracts are generally treated as first recovering the investment in the
Policy (described below) and then, only after the return of all such investment
in the Policy, as distributing taxable income. An exception to this general
rule occurs in the case of a decrease in the Policy's death benefit (possibly
including a partial withdrawal) or any other change that reduces benefits under
the Policy in the first 15 years after the Policy is issued and that results in
cash distribution to the Owner in order for the Policy to continue complying
with the Section 7702 definitional limits. Such a cash distribution will be
taxed in whole or in part as ordinary income (to the extent of any gain in the
Policy) under rules prescribed in Section 7702.

     Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified
endowment contract are not treated as distributions. Instead, such loans are
treated as Indebtedness of the Owner.

     Neither distributions (including distributions upon surrender or lapse)
nor Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment
contract are subject to the 10 percent additional income tax.

     If a Policy which is not a modified endowment contract subsequently
becomes a modified endowment contract, then any distribution made from the
Policy within two years prior to the date of such change in status may become
taxable.

     5.  Policy Loan Interest. Generally, interest paid on any loan under a
life insurance Policy owned by an individual is not deductible. In addition,
interest on any loan under a life insurance Policy owned by a business taxpayer
on the life of any individual who is an officer of or is financially interested
in the business carried on by that taxpayer is deductible only under certain
very limited circumstances. AN OWNER SHOULD CONSULT A COMPETENT TAX ADVISOR
BEFORE DEDUCTING ANY LOAN INTEREST.

     6.  Interest Expense on Unrelated Indebtedness. Under provisions added to
the Code in 1997 for policies issued after June 8, 1997, if a business taxpayer
owns or is the beneficiary of a Policy on the life of any individual who is not
an officer, director, employee, or 20 percent owner of the business, and the
taxpayer also has debt unrelated to the Policy, a portion of the taxpayer's
unrelated interest expense deductions may be lost. No business taxpayer should
purchase, exchange, or increase the death benefit under a Policy on the life of
any individual who is not an officer, director, employee, or 20 percent owner
of the business without first consulting a competent tax Advisor.

     7.  Investment in the Policy. Investment in the Policy means (a) the
aggregate amount of any premiums or other consideration paid for a Policy,
minus (b) the aggregate amount received under the Policy which is excluded from
gross income of the Owner (except that the amount of any Policy Loan from, or
secured by, a Policy that is a modified endowment contract, to the extent such
amount is excluded from gross income, will be disregarded), plus (c) the amount
of any Policy Loan from, or secured by, a Policy that is a modified endowment
contract to the extent that such amount is included in the gross income of the
Owner.

                                      66



     8.  Multiple Policies. All modified endowment contracts that are issued by
the Company (or its affiliates) to the same Owner during any calendar year are
treated as one modified endowment contract for purposes of determining the
amount includable in gross income under Section 72(e) of the Code.

     9.  Possible Charge For Taxes. At the present time, the Company makes no
charge to the Separate Account for any Federal, state, or local taxes (as
opposed to Premium Tax Charges which are deducted from premium payments) that
it incurs which may be attributable to such Separate Account or to the
Policies. The Company, however, reserves the right in the future to make a
charge for any such tax or other economic burden resulting from the application
of the tax laws that it determines to be properly attributable to the Separate
Account or to the Policies.

                     UNISEX REQUIREMENTS UNDER MONTANA LAW

     The State of Montana generally prohibits the use of actuarial tables that
distinguish between men and women in determining premiums and Policy benefits
for policies issued on the lives of their residents.

     Therefore, all Policies offered by this Prospectus to insure residents of
Montana will have premiums and benefits which are based on actuarial tables
that do not differentiate on the basis of sex.

                 SAFEKEEPING OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT'S ASSETS

     The Company holds the assets of the Separate Account. The assets are kept
physically segregated and held separate and apart from the General Account. The
Company maintains records of all purchases and redemptions of the applicable
fund shares by each of the Divisions. Additional protection for the assets of
the Separate Account is afforded by a blanket fidelity bond issued by Lloyd's
Underwriters in the amount of $5 million, covering all officers and employees
of the Company who have access to the assets of the Separate Account.

                                 VOTING RIGHTS

     Based on its understanding of current applicable legal requirements, the
Company will vote the shares of the Funds held in the Separate Account at
regular and special shareholder meetings of the mutual funds in accordance with
the instructions received from persons having voting interests in the
corresponding Divisions of the Separate Account. If, however, the 1940 Act or
any regulation thereunder should be amended or if the present interpretation
thereof should change, and as a result the Company determines that it is
permitted to vote shares of the Funds in its own right, it may elect to do so.
No voting privileges apply to the Policies with respect to Cash Value removed
from the Separate Account as a result of a Policy Loan.

     The number of votes which an Owner has the right to instruct will be
calculated separately for each Division. Voting rights reflect the dollar value
of the total number of units of each Division of the Separate Account credited
to the Owner at the record date, rather than the number of units alone.
Fractional shares will be counted. The number of votes of the Fund which the
Owner has the right to instruct will be determined as of the date coincident
with the date established by that Fund for determining shareholders eligible.
Voting instructions will be solicited by written communications prior to such
meeting in accordance with procedures established by the mutual funds.

     The Company will vote the shares of a Fund for which no timely
instructions are received in proportion to the voting instructions which are
received with respect to that Fund. The Company will

                                      67



also vote any shares of the Funds which it owns and which are not attributable
to Policies in the same proportion.

     Each person having a voting interest in a Division will receive proxy
material, reports, and other materials relating to the appropriate Fund.

     Disregard of Voting Instructions. The Company may, when required by state
insurance regulatory authorities, disregard voting instructions if the
instructions require that the shares be voted so as to cause a change in the
subclassification or investment objective of the Fund or to approve or
disapprove an investment advisory contract for a Fund. In addition, the Company
itself may disregard voting instructions in favor of changes initiated by an
Owner in the investment policy or the investment advisor or sub-advisor of a
Fund if the Company reasonably disapproves of such changes. A proposed change
would be disapproved only if the proposed change is contrary to state law or
prohibited by state regulatory authorities, or the Company determined that the
change would have an adverse effect on its General Account in that the proposed
investment policy for a Fund may result in overly speculative or unsound
investments. If the Company disregards voting instructions, a summary of that
action and the reasons for such action will be included in the next annual
report to Owners.

                        STATE REGULATION OF THE COMPANY

     The Company, a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of
Missouri, and the Separate Account are subject to regulation by the Missouri
Department of Insurance. An annual statement is filed with the Director of
Insurance on or before March 1st of each year covering the operations and
reporting on the financial condition of the Company as of December 31 of the
preceding year. Periodically, the Director of Insurance examines the
liabilities and reserves of the Company and the Separate Account and certifies
their adequacy, and a full examination of the Company's operations is conducted
by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners at least once every
three years.

     In addition, the Company is subject to the insurance laws and regulations
of other states within which it is licensed or may become licensed to operate.
Generally, the insurance departments of other states apply the laws of the
state of domicile in determining permissible investments.

                                 LEGAL MATTERS

     All matters of Missouri law pertaining to the Policy, including the
validity of the Policy and General American's right to issue the Policy under
Missouri insurance law, have been passed upon by Robert J. Banstetter, Vice
President, General Counsel, and Secretary of General American.

                               LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     There are no legal proceedings to which the Separate Account is a party or
to which the assets of the Separate Account are subject. General American is
not involved in any litigation that is of material importance in relation to
its total assets or that relates to the Separate Account.

                                    EXPERTS

     The audited financial statements of General American and the Separate
Account have been included in this Prospectus in reliance on the reports of
KPMG LLP, independent certified public accountants, and on the authority of
said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

     Actuarial matters included in this Prospectus have been examined by Alan
J. Hobbs, FSA, MAAA, LLIF, Second Vice President & Financial Actuary of General
American, as stated in the opinion filed as an exhibit to the registration
statement.

                            ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

     A registration statement has been filed with the SEC, under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the Policy offered hereby. This
Prospectus does not contain all the information set forth in the registration
statement and the amendments and exhibits to the registration statement, to all

                                      70



of which reference is made for further information concerning the Separate
Account, General American and the Policy offered hereby. Statements contained
in this Prospectus as to the contents of the Policy and other legal instruments
are summaries. For a complete statement of the terms thereof reference is made
to such instruments as filed.

     Like all financial services providers, General American utilizes systems
that may be affected by the Year 2000 transition issues, and it relies on
services providers, including the Funds, that may also be affected.

     The Company has developed, and is in the process of implementing, a Year
2000 transition plan, and is confirming that its services providers are also so
engaged. The resources that are being devoted to this effort are substantial.
It is difficult to predict with precision whether the amount of resources
ultimately devoted, or the outcome of these efforts, will have any negative
impact on the Company. However, as of the date of this prospectus, we do not
anticipate that Policy Owners will experience negative effects on their
investment, or on the services provided in connection therewith, as a result of
Year 2000 transition implementation. General American currently anticipates
that its systems will be Year 2000 compliant, but there can be no assurance
that the Company will be successful, or that interaction with other service
providers will not impair the Company's services at that time.

                             FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The financial statements of General American which are included in this
Prospectus should be distinguished from the financial statements of the
Separate Account, and should be considered only as bearing on the ability of
General American to meet its obligations under the Policy.

     They should not be considered as bearing on the investment performance of
the assets held in the Separate Account.


                                      71



                                  APPENDIX A

Illustrations of Death Benefits and Cash Values

     The following tables illustrate how the Cash Value, Cash Surrender Value,
and death benefit of a Policy change with the investment experience of a
Division of the Separate Account. The tables show how the Cash Value, Cash
Surrender Value, and death benefit of a Policy issued to an insured of a given
age and at a given premium would vary over time if the investment return on the
assets held in each Division of the Separate Account were a uniform, gross,
after-tax annual rate of 0%, 6%, or 12%. The tables in Appendix A illustrate a
Policy issued to a Male, age 45 in a preferred nonsmoker rate class. If the
insured falls into a smoker rate class, the Cash Values, Cash Surrender Values,
and death benefits would be lower than those shown in the tables. In addition,
the Cash Values, Cash Surrender Values, and death benefits would be different
from those shown if the gross annual investment rates of return averaged 0%,
6%, and 12% over a period of years, but fluctuated above and below those
averages for individual Policy Years.

     The Cash Value column under the "Guaranteed" heading shows the accumulated
value of the Net Premiums paid at the stated interest rate, reflecting
deduction of the Selection and Issue Expense Charge, the monthly administrative
charges and monthly charges for the cost of insurance based on the maximum
values allowed under the 1980 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Nonsmoker
Mortality Table. The Cash Surrender Value column under the "Guaranteed" heading
shows the projected Cash Surrender Value of the Policy, which is calculated by
taking the Cash Value under the "Guaranteed" heading and deducting any
appropriate Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. The Cash value column under the
"Current" heading shows the accumulated value of the Net Premiums at the stated
interest rate, reflecting deduction of the Selection and Issue Expense Charge,
the monthly administrative charges and monthly charges for the cost of
insurance at their current level, which is less than or equal to that allowed
by the 1980 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Nonsmoker Mortality Table. The Cash
Value column under the "Current" heading also reflects payment of the projected
dividends into the Cash Value. The Cash Surrender Value column under the
"Current" heading shows the projected Cash Surrender Value of the Policy, which
is calculated by taking the Cash Value under the "Current" heading and
deducting any appropriate Contingent Deferred Sales Charge.

     The illustrations of death benefits reflect the above assumptions. The
death benefits also vary between tables depending upon whether Death Benefit
Options A or C (Level Type) or Death Benefit Option B (Increasing Type) are
illustrated.

     The amounts shown for Cash Value, Cash Surrender Value, and death benefit
reflect the fact that the investment rate of return is lower than the gross
after-tax return on the assets held in a Division of the Separate Account. The
charges include a .90% charge for mortality and expense risk, the investment
advisory fee (.69% of aggregate average daily net assets is assumed but the
actual investment advisory fee applicable to each Division is shown in the
respective Prospectuses of each fund, and administrative expenses incurred.
After deduction for these amounts, the illustrated gross annual investment
rates of return of 0%, 6%, and 12% correspond to approximate net annual rates
of -1.59%, 4.41%, and

     10.41%, respectively. The Prospectuses for each fund should be consulted
for details about the nature and extent of their expenses. There is no
arrangement for reimbursing the expenses of General American Capital Company,
Russell Insurance Funds, Variable Insurance Products Fund, Variable Insurance
Products Fund II, and Van Eck Worldwide Insurance Trust.

     The hypothetical values shown in the tables do not reflect any charges for
Federal income taxes against the Separate Account (as opposed to Premium Tax
Charges which are deducted from premium payments), since General American is
not currently making any such charges. However, such charges

                                      72



may be made in the future and, in that event, the gross annual investment rate
of return of the Divisions of the Separate Account would have to exceed 0%, 6%,
and 12% by an amount sufficient to cover the tax charges in order to produce
the death benefit and Cash Value illustration. (See Federal Tax Matters.)

     The tables illustrate the Policy values that would result based upon the
investment rates of return if premiums are paid as indicated, if all Net
Premiums are allocated to the Separate Account, if no Policy Loans have been
made, and dividends are paid into the Cash Value as projected. The tables are
also based on the assumptions that the Owner has not requested an increase or
decrease in the Face Amount, that no partial withdrawals have been made, that
no transfer charges were incurred, and that no optional riders have been
requested.

     Upon request, General American will provide a comparable illustration
based upon the proposed Insured's age, sex, and rate class, the Face Amount or
premium requested, the proposed frequency of premium payments, and any
available riders requested.

                          UNDERTAKING TO FILE REPORTS

Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, the undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission such supplementary and periodic information,
documents, and reports as may be prescribed by any rule or regulation of the
Commission heretofore or hereafter duly adopted pursuant to authority conferred
in that section.

                             RULE 484 UNDERTAKING

As described in its governing documents, MetLife, Inc. (the ultimate parent of
the Depositor and MetLife Investors Distribution Company, the Registrant's
underwriter (the "Underwriter"), which is incorporated in the state of
Missouri) 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 that person's service as a director, officer, or agent
of MetLife, Inc., under certain circumstances, against liabilities and expenses
incurred by such person.

As described in its governing documents, the Depositor, which is incorporated
in the state of Nebraska shall indemnify any person, who was or is a party or
is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed
action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative,
arbitrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal, by reason of the
fact that such person (i) is or was a director or officer of the Depositor
(except as described below regarding MetLife Employees serving as directors or
officers of the Depositor) or (ii) with respect to acts or omissions prior to
the date of domestication of the Depositor to Nebraska as to which any director
or officer requested indemnification from the Depositor prior to the date of
domestication of the Depositor to Nebraska, (A) is or was an officer or
director of the Depositor or (B) is or was serving, in any capacity at the
request of the Depositor, as a director, officer, partner, member, trustee,
employee or agent of another domestic or foreign corporation, partnership,
limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
entity, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding. The indemnification provisions
set forth herein shall apply to any situation arising before or after the date
of domestication of the Depositor to Nebraska.

As described in its governing documents, the Underwriter, which is incorporated
in the state of Missouri, may indemnify, under certain circumstances, any
person who is made a party to any civil or criminal suit, or made a subject of
any administrative or investigative proceeding by reason of the fact that he is
or was a director, officer, or agent of the Underwriter. The Underwriter also
has such other and further powers of indemnification as are not inconsistent
with the laws of Missouri.

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 Registrant, 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.

                                REPRESENTATIONS

Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company hereby represents that the fees and
charges deducted under the flexible premium variable life insurance policies
described in this registration statement, in the aggregate, are reasonable in
relation to the services rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred, and
the risks assumed by Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company.
