    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

    capital securities, are primarily issued by U.S.
    financial institutions and have cumulative interest deferral
    features. The Company held $558 million and
    $513 million at estimated fair value of such securities at
    September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. 14

    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 September 30, 2010,
    these entities held total assets of $7,126 million
    consisting of $7,093 million of commercial mortgage loans
    and $33 million of accrued investment income. These
    entities had total liabilities of $7,066 million,
    consisting of $7,034 million of long-term debt and
    $32 million of other liabilities. The assets of these
    entities can only be used to settle their respective
    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 $59 million at estimated fair value at
    September 30, 2010. The long-term debt referred to above
    bears interest at primarily fixed rates ranging from 2.25% to
    5.57%, payable primarily on 37

    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 in
    the consolidated balance sheets. Net embedded derivatives within
    liability host contracts are presented in the consolidated
    balance sheets within policyholder account balances and other
    liabilities. At September 30, 2010, fixed maturity
    securities and equity securities also included embedded
    derivatives of $8 million and ($7) million, respectively.
    At December 31, 2009, fixed maturity securities and equity
    securities included embedded derivatives of $0 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.    Fixed maturity securities, Equity securities and Trading

    of total gains (losses). Impairments charged to earnings are
    included within net investment gains (losses) which are reported
    within the earnings caption of total gains (losses). Lapses

    Interest and dividend accruals, as well as cash interest coupons
    and dividends received, are excluded from the rollforward.(3)
    
    The amount reported within purchases, sales, issuances and

    issuances) and the sales/settlement proceeds (for sales and
    settlements) based upon the actual date purchased/issued or
    sold/settled. Items purchased/issued and sold/settled in the
    same period are excluded from the rollforward. For embedded
    derivatives, attributed fees are included within this caption
    along with settlements, if any.(4)

    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
    $21 million at September 30, 2010.(2)

    Mortgage loans as presented in the tables above differ from the
    amount presented in the consolidated balance sheets because
    these tables do not include commercial mortgage loans held by
    consolidated securitization entities.(2)
    
    Carrying values presented herein differ from those presented in
    the consolidated balance sheets because certain items within the
    respective financial statement caption are not considered
    financial instruments. Financial statement captions excluded
    from the table above are not considered financial instruments.(3)
    
    Short-term investments as presented in the tables above differ
    from the amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheets
    because these tables do not include short-term investments that
    meet the definition of a security, which are measured at
    estimated fair value on a recurring basis.(4)
    
    Commitments are off-balance sheet obligations. Negative
