    Upon acquisition, the Company classifies perpetual securities
    that have attributes of both debt and equity as fixed maturity
    securities if the security has an interest rate
    step-up
    feature which, when combined with other qualitative factors,
    indicates that the security has more debt-like characteristics.
    The Company classifies perpetual securities with an interest
    rate step-up
    feature which, when combined with other qualitative factors,
    indicates that the security has more equity-like
    characteristics, as equity securities within non-redeemable
    preferred stock. Many of such securities have been issued by
    non-U.S.
    financial institutions that are accorded Tier 1 and Upper
    Tier 2 capital treatment by their respective regulatory
    bodies and are commonly referred to as perpetual hybrid
    securities. The following table presents the perpetual

    As discussed in Note 1, upon the adoption of new guidance
    effective January 1, 2010, the Company consolidated former QSPEs
    that are structured as CMBS. At March 31, 2010, these entities
    held total assets of $7,098 million consisting of $7,065 million
    of commercial mortgage loans and $33 million of accrued
    investment income. These entities had total liabilities of
    $7,050 million, consisting of $7,019 million of debt and $31
    million of other liabilities. The assets of these entities can
    only be used to settle its liabilities, and under no
    circumstances is the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
    affiliates liable for any principal or interest shortfalls,
    should any arise. The Companys exposure is limited to that
    of its remaining investment in the former QSPEs of $48 million
    at estimated fair value at March 31, 2010. The long-term debt
    referred to above bears interest at primarily fixed rates
    ranging from 2.25% to 5.57%, payable primarily on a monthly
    basis and is expected to be repaid over the next 7 years.
    Interest expense related to these obligations, included in other
    expenses, was $103 million for the three months ended March 31,
    2010. 35

    The maximum exposure to loss relating to the fixed maturity
    securities available-for-sale is equal to the carrying amounts
    or carrying amounts of retained interests. The maximum exposure
    to loss relating to the real estate joint ventures and other
    limited partnership interests 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)
    
    As discussed in Note 1, the Company adopted new guidance
    effective January 1, 2010 which eliminated the concept of a
    QSPE. As a result, the Company concluded it held variable
    interests in RMBS, CMBS and ABS. For these interests, the
    Companys involvement is limited to that of a passive
    investor.    Related

    Net embedded derivatives within asset host contracts are
    presented within premiums, reinsurance and other receivables.
    Net embedded derivatives within liability host contracts are
    presented within policyholder account balances and other
    liabilities. At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009,
    equity securities also included embedded derivatives of
    ($6) million and ($5) million, respectively.(4)
    
    Separate account assets are measured at estimated fair value.
    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.    Level 1
    This category includes most U.S. Treasury and agency fixed
    maturity securities; exchange-traded common stock; trading
    securities and certain short-term money market securities. As it
    relates to derivatives, this level includes exchange-traded
    equity and interest rate futures. Separate account assets
    classified within this level are similar in nature to those
    classified in this level for the general account.Level 2
    This category includes fixed maturity and equity securities
    priced principally by independent pricing services using
    observable inputs. Fixed maturity securities classified as
    Level 2 include certain U.S. Treasury and agency
    securities, as well as the majority of U.S. and foreign
    corporate securities, RMBS, CMBS, state and political
    subdivision securities, foreign government securities, and ABS.
    Equity securities classified as Level 2 securities consist
    principally of common stock and non-redeemable preferred stock
    where market quotes are available but are not considered
    actively traded. Short-term investments and trading securities
    included within Level 2 are of a similar nature to these
    fixed maturity and equity securities. Mortgage loans included in
    Level 2 include mortgage loans held by consolidated
    securitization entities. Mortgage loans held by consolidated
    securitization entities are priced using the securitization
    market price of the obligations of the consolidated
    securitization entities, which are priced principally by
    independent pricing services using observable inputs. As it
    relates to derivatives, this level includes all types of
    derivative instruments utilized by the Company with the
    exception of exchange-traded futures included within
    Level 1 and those derivative instruments with unobservable
    inputs as described in Level 3. Separate account assets
    classified within this level are generally similar to those
    classified within this level for the general account, with the
    exception of certain mutual funds without readily determinable
    fair values given prices are not published publicly. Long-term
    debt of consolidated securitization entities included in this
    level includes obligations priced principally by independent
    pricing services using observable inputs.Level 3
    This category includes fixed maturity securities priced
    principally through independent broker quotations or market
    standard valuation methodologies using inputs that are not
    market observable or cannot be derived principally from or
    corroborated by observable market data. This level primarily
    consists of less liquid fixed maturity securities with very
    limited trading activity or where less price transparency exists
    around the inputs to the valuation methodologies including:
    U.S. and foreign corporate securities  including
    below investment grade private placements; CMBS; and
    ABS  including all of those supported by
    sub-prime
    mortgage loans. Equity securities classified as Level 3
    securities consist principally of non-redeemable preferred stock
    and common stock of companies that are privately held or of
    companies for which there has been very limited trading activity
    or where less price transparency exists around the inputs to the
    valuation. Short-term investments included within Level 3
    are of a similar nature to these fixed maturity securities. As
    it relates to derivatives this category includes: swap
    spreadlocks with maturities which extend beyond 60

    Mortgage Loans The impaired mortgage loans
    presented above were written down to their estimated fair values
    at the date the impairments were recognized. Estimated fair
    values for impaired mortgage loans are based on observable
    market prices or, if the loans are in foreclosure or are
    otherwise determined to be collateral dependent, on the
    estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, or the
    present value of the expected future cash flows. Impairments to
    estimated fair value represent non-recurring fair value
    measurements that have been categorized as Level 3 due to the
    lack of price transparency inherent in the limited markets for
    such mortgage loans.(2)
    
    Other Limited Partnership Interests The
    impaired investments presented above were accounted for using
    the cost basis. Impairments on these cost basis investments were
    recognized at estimated fair value determined from information
    provided in the financial statements of the underlying entities
    in the period in which the impairment was incurred. These
    impairments to estimated fair value represent non-recurring fair
    value measurements that have been classified as Level 3 due
    to the limited activity and price transparency inherent in the
    market for such investments. This category includes several
    private equity and debt funds that typically invest primarily in
    a diversified pool of investments across certain investment
    strategies including domestic and international leveraged buyout
    funds; power, energy, timber and infrastructure development
    funds; venture capital funds; below investment grade debt and
    mezzanine debt funds. The estimated fair values of these
    investments have been determined using the NAV of the
    Companys ownership interest in the partners capital.
    Distributions from these investments will be generated from
    investment gains, from operating income from the underlying
    investments of the funds, and from liquidation of the underlying
    assets of the funds. It is estimated that the underlying assets
    of the funds will be liquidated over the next 2 to
    10 years. Unfunded commitments for these investments were
    less than $1 million at March 31, 2010.(3)
    
    Real Estate Joint Ventures The impaired
    investments presented above were accounted for using the cost
    basis. Impairments on these cost basis investments were
    recognized at estimated fair value determined from information
    provided in the financial statements of the underlying entities
    in the period in which the impairment was incurred. These
    impairments to estimated fair value represent non-recurring fair
    value measurements that have been classified as Level 3 due
    to the limited activity and price transparency inherent in the
    market for such investments. This category includes several real
    estate funds that typically invest primarily in commercial real
    estate. The estimated fair values of these investments have been
    determined using the NAV of the Companys ownership
    interest in the partners capital. Distributions from these
    investments will be generated from investment gains, from
    operating income from the underlying investments of the funds,
    and from liquidation of the underlying assets of the funds. It
    is estimated that the underlying assets of the funds will be
    liquidated over the next 2 to 10 years. Unfunded
    commitments for these investments were $10 million as of
    March 31, 2010. 73
