 Exhibit 10.90 

The MetLife Non-Management
 Director Deferred Compensation Plan 
 December 2007 







  Important Notices 
 This Program Description provides an
overview of the MetLife Non-Management Director Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). It is also the official plan document that legally governs the Plan. This Plan document will govern in every respect and instance, and replaces and
supersedes prior Plan documents. 
 This Program Description may be updated from time to time to implement
changes in the Plan. Fund performance data will be updated periodically. These updates will constitute part of the Prospectus distributed with respect to the Plan. 

The Plan Administrator may amend, alter or terminate the Plan in accordance with its terms at any time and for any
reason. The Plan was effective on January 1, 2005, and the Plan will continue in effect until it is amended, suspended, or terminated according to its terms. This Plan was designed to replace the MetLife Deferred Compensation Plan for Outside
Directors and Article VII of the MetLife, Inc. 2000 Directors Stock Plan, respectively, beginning with 2005 compensation deferrals; earlier deferrals will remain governed by the earlier plans. 

MetLife, Inc. will have the obligation to pay amounts deferred under the Plan. MetLife, Inc.’s
obligations are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Since this is an unfunded plan, your rights or claims against assets or property are no greater than those of a general unsecured creditor of MetLife, Inc. Your deferrals may
gain or lose value over time; see “Investment Tracking For Your Deferred Cash Accounts” and “MetLife Deferred Stock Accounts” below. Shares of MetLife, Inc. common stock paid under the Plan may be shares of treasury common stock
or authorized but unissued common stock. 

 This document constitutes part of a prospectus covering securities 

that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 

The date of this Prospectus is December 2007.

 MetLife Non-Management Director Deferred Compensation Plan 

The MetLife Non-Management Director Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) allows eligible directors to defer receiving a portion of their
annual retainer, committee chair fees, and meeting fees, if any, payable in cash or shares of MetLife, Inc. common stock (“MetLife Stock”) for services in 2005 and thereafter, thereby deferring payment of federal and most state income
taxes until a later date when the deferred payments are received. Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary. 
 Eligibility

 Members of the Board of Directors of MetLife, Inc. (the “Board”) who are not employees of MetLife, Inc. or any of its affiliates
(“Non-Management Directors”) are eligible to participate. In this Program Description, “you” refers to a director who is eligible to participate in the Plan. 
 Making a Deferral Election 
 Prior to each year in which you will provide services as a
Non-Management Director, you may defer all or a portion of fees payable as compensation for such services. Deferrals begin with the first fees payable for such services during a calendar year and end with the last fees payable during the calendar
year. Designations do not carry over from year to year; you must make a new designation each year. 
 When you are elected to the Board, you may
defer all or a portion of your fees payable in that calendar year by submitting a deferral election before the earlier of (1) the first meeting that you attend for which you earn fees; or (2) the thirtieth day after you become eligible to
participate in the Plan. 
  

The MetLife Non-Management Director Deferred Compensation Plan is a non-qualified plan that is unfunded
and subject to the risks described in this document. Amounts credited to an account are solely for record-keeping purposes. The Plan is not subject to full protection under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).


 To defer your cash compensation, you need to complete a deferral election form specifying: 

 

	 	•	 	 The percentage of your cash fees you want deferred into a Deferred Cash Account (if you choose to defer any of your cash fees, your deferral must equal
at least $10,000.00); 


  

	 	•	 	 The investment tracking funds that will be used to adjust the value of that Deferred Cash Account; and 



 

	 	•	 	 A future distribution date and number of payments for that Deferred Cash Account (paid in cash). 



  
 4 








 To defer your MetLife Stock compensation, you need to complete a deferral election form specifying:

  

	 	•	 	 The percentage of your MetLife Stock fees you want deferred into a MetLife Deferred Stock Account; and 



 

	 	•	 	 The future distribution date and number of payments for your MetLife Deferred Stock Account. 



Your deferral election form must be submitted during the enrollment period. If you submit an election form that does not specify when payment is to be
made, payment will be made upon the termination of your service as a Non-Management Director. If you submit an election form that does not specify the number of installments in which payment should be made, payment will be made in a single lump sum.

 Before making your elections, you may wish to consult a tax or personal financial advisor regarding all of the ramifications of deferral of
compensation under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and all other requirements under law for deferral of income taxation (“Legal Deferral Requirements”). 
 All deferrals are subject to the terms of this Plan. 
 Income Taxes 

Compensation is not subject to current taxation under federal and most state income tax laws at the time it is deferred. Deferred compensation to
Non-Management Directors is not subject to Social Security or Medicare taxes, but it is subject to tax under the Self-Employment Contributions Act (SECA) when the amounts are includible in your income. You should consult with a tax or personal
financial advisor to determine whether you must pay SECA on these amounts when received. 
 Deferral Amounts 

During the annual enrollment period, you may elect to defer all or a portion of your fees payable in the following year for services as a director of
MetLife, Inc. If you choose to defer any of your cash fees, you must defer at least $10,000. 
 Once you elect your deferral amount, you may not
change it. You may, however, suspend deferrals in cases of extreme hardship as provided in the Plan. See “Hardship Exceptions,” below. 
 Deferred Compensation Accounts 
 If you defer any or all of your cash compensation, a
Deferred Cash Account in your name for that year’s deferrals will be established for record-keeping purposes. If you defer any of your MetLife Stock compensation, a MetLife Deferred Stock Account in your name for that year’s deferrals will
be established for record-keeping purposes. You will receive account statements annually. 
 Your accounts will be credited effective on the
date on which your fees would have been payable had you not elected to defer receipt of such fees.

 Investment Tracking For Your Deferred Cash Accounts 

Investment tracking funds are used as a device for adjusting the value of your Deferred Cash Accounts from the time contributions are made until the time
payments are distributed from your Deferred Cash Accounts based on fund performance. Your deferred cash account will not actually be invested in the funds. 
 Each investment tracking fund reflects the investment performance of the actual fund or index, including any management fees and/or other expenses that apply to the fund. Gains or losses, measured each
day the relevant stock market is open, will be credited or debited from your account, in effect “mirroring” the performance of the specified fund or index, determined on a Total Return basis. “Total Return” reflects the change
(positive or negative) in the value of your account, including dividends (if any) on a reinvested basis. If the aggregate performance of the funds mirrored by the investment tracking funds you choose is positive, the value of your account will
increase; if it is negative, the value of your account will decrease. 
 You may change your allocation among investment tracking funds —
either with regard to future deferrals or your existing account — at any time during the year by accessing the Plan’s website at www.benefitplanservices.com/metlife (click on Change Allocations) or by calling Benefit Plan Services,
Inc. (BPSI) at 1-800-340-8151. Keep in mind, you can make no more than six fund allocation changes per year. For this purpose, all changes submitted on the same day will count as a single change. You can elect to allocate your account among one
or more of the investment tracking funds in 5% increments. If you have provided BPSI with your e-mail address, you will receive confirmation of your changes shortly after they are made. 
 Allocations into and out of the MetLife Common Stock Fund must be pre-cleared with the Corporate Secretary in accordance with the MetLife Insider Trading Policy. 

Following is a list of the investment tracking funds currently available in the Plan. The Plan, however, may be amended by the Plan Administrator to
change, eliminate or replace any investment tracking fund or index at any time. See the “Plan Administrator” section for more information.

	*	This investment tracking fund may be used to adjust the value of any or all of your Deferred Cash Compensation Account. Values are tracked in this investment tracking
fund using the value and performance of MetLife Stock, but payment is made in cash. Your MetLife Deferred Stock Account, which consists of deferred MetLife Stock payments, is paid out in the form of MetLife Stock. 


  
 6 








 MetLife Deferred Stock Accounts 
 Your MetLife Deferred Stock Accounts will reflect the number of shares of MetLife Stock you deferred, plus imputed reinvested dividends (on the same basis as such dividends are paid on actual shares of
MetLife Stock). 
 The value of your MetLife Deferred Stock Account will depend on the price of MetLife Stock, which is affected by market
conditions and other factors, such as declared dividends. As a result, the value of your MetLife Deferred Stock Account is anticipated to have a relatively high risk profile. 
 Your MetLife Deferred Stock Accounts will be appropriately adjusted (as determined by the Governance Committee of the Board, or its successor) in the event of any MetLife Stock dividend, MetLife Stock
split, recapitalization (including, but not limited, to the payment of an extraordinary dividend), merger, consolidation, combination, or spin-off affecting MetLife, Inc. capitalization, distribution of MetLife, Inc. assets to holders of MetLife
Stock (other than ordinary cash dividends), exchange of shares, or other similar corporate change. 
 The performance of MetLife Deferred Stock
Awards will be identical to that of the MetLife Common Stock Fund, and is labeled the “MetLife Deferred Shares Fund” in the “Total Return Historic Fund & Index Performance by Calendar Year” chart. 

The Distribution Dates 
 For each of your
Deferred Cash Accounts and your MetLife Deferred Stock Accounts separately, you may choose to have your distributions begin either (1) on a specific date no less than three years after the year of deferral (for example: for payments
attributable to services performed in 2008, the date you may choose may not be earlier than 2012), or (2) upon the termination of your service as a Non-Management Director of MetLife, Inc. (the date of your termination of service will be
determined in accordance with Legal Deferral Requirements). If you choose to receive your account on a specific date, your account will be paid to you on the earlier of (a) the date you selected, or (b) on the date of the termination of
your service as a director. 
 Once you have designated a distribution date, you cannot change it except as described below under “Changing
the Distribution Date And/Or Number of Payments.” 
 Number of Payments 

You may elect to receive each of your account balances in either a lump-sum payment or up to 15 annual installments. For each of your
Deferred Cash Accounts, each annual installment will be a fraction of the account’s cash value with one being the numerator and the number of payments remaining being the denominator. For each of your MetLife Deferred Stock Accounts, each
annual installment will be a fraction of the number of shares of MetLife Stock represented in the account, with one being the numerator and the number of payments remaining being the denominator and disregarding any fraction of a share until the
last installment. For example, if you elect to receive 10 annual payments, the first payment is equal to
1/10th of the account; the second payment is equal to
1/9th of the account; and so on until final payment is
made. For purposes of Legal Deferral Rules, any payment option selected under this plan will be considered to be a single payment form of benefit. 

  
 7 








 Form of Payments 
 All payments from your Deferred Cash Accounts (including portions invested in the MetLife Common Stock Fund) will be made in cash. All payments from your MetLife Deferred Stock Account will be made in
MetLife Stock, except that fractional shares will be paid in cash at the Closing Price of MetLife Stock on the date of payment.* 
 Taxation
of Payments 
 Generally, payments are subject to federal, state and local tax income taxes in the year you receive the amounts. Rollover to
an IRA, qualified plan or non-qualified plan is not permitted. 
 Changing the Distribution Date And/Or Number of Payments 

For each of your Deferred Cash Account and your MetLife Deferred Stock Account for a given year, you may make changes only once, at which time you may
change either or both: (1) the date you have selected to receive payment of your deferred compensation to a date at least five (5) years later than your original selection; and/or (2) the number of payments you have chosen to receive
(your change may increase or decrease the number of payments). You must make all changes to any particular account at the same time; provided, however, that your changes are effective if you submit them no later than one year before the
earlier of the original date you had selected for payment or the date your service as a Non-Management Director ends, and otherwise will not be effective. All changes will be effective to the extent consistent with Legal Deferral
Requirements. 
 Payment to Beneficiaries 
 If you die before your distributions begin or are completed, the balance in your accounts will be paid as a single lump sum to your beneficiary. If you have not designated a beneficiary, or your
beneficiary (or beneficiaries) die(s) before you do, the balance in your accounts will be paid to your estate. 
 You may designate an
individual, entity, trustee, or your estate as your beneficiary, and you may change your beneficiary at any time. Each beneficiary designation will apply to all of your deferrals under the Plan, and will supersede your previous beneficiary
designations. Unless or until you submit a new beneficiary designation form, your last beneficiary designation (if any) under the MetLife Deferred Compensation Plan for Outside Directors (or, if you have not designated a beneficiary under that plan,
the beneficiary you have designated under the MetLife, Inc. 2000 Directors Stock Plan, if any) will apply under this Plan. 
  


	*	“Closing Price” means the closing price of a share of MetLife Stock as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system for the New York
Stock Exchange (or on such other recognized quotation system on which the trading prices of shares of MetLife Stock are quoted at the relevant time) on such date. In the event that there are no transactions of MetLife Stock reported on such tape (or
such other system) on such date, Closing Price shall mean the closing price on the immediately preceding date on which MetLife Stock transactions were so reported. 


  
 8 








 You may designate your beneficiary(ies) during each annual enrollment period. If you wish to change your
beneficiary designations during the year you may access the website www.benefitplanservices.com/metlife (by clicking on Beneficiary Detail) or contact BPSI at 1-800-340-8151 and they will send you a form on which you can make your new beneficiary
elections. 
 Loans 
 No loans
may be taken from your accounts. 
 Hardship Exceptions 
 In cases of extreme hardship, and consistent with legal requirements for deferral of income taxation, the Plan Administrator may suspend deferrals or make payments to you, reducing the value of your
account. However, the total amount suspended and advanced cannot exceed the amount required to satisfy the financial consequences of the hardship and tax withholding requirements. 
 Unfunded, Unsecured Obligations of MetLife, Inc. 
 Deferrals under the Plan are unfunded and
unsecured obligations of MetLife, Inc. Your rights are those of a general unsecured creditor of MetLife, Inc. The Plan is intended to be designed and administered in complete accordance with Legal Deferral Requirements, but in no event will MetLife,
Inc., any affiliate, or the Plan be liable for any taxes, penalties, or other losses on account of the Plan or its administration failing to comply with Legal Deferral Requirements. 
 Assignment 
 No assignment or pledge of the right to receive the payment of amounts deferred
or any other rights under the Plan may be made. 
 Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (“QDROs”) 

Deferred compensation will be distributed or attached to the extent required by a QDRO. 
 Plan Administrator 
 The Plan is administered by a Plan Administrator who may establish,
amend or rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan. The Plan Administrator of this Plan is also the Plan Administrator of the Metropolitan Life Retirement Plan for U.S. Employees. The Employee Benefits Committee of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company appoints the Plan Administrator of the Retirement Plan, who serves until such time as the Committee appoints a new Plan Administrator. 
 To the extent consistent with law, including Legal Deferral Requirements, the Plan Administrator may amend, modify, suspend, or terminate the Plan at any time and for any reason. The Plan Administrator
may not amend, modify or terminate the Plan in a way that will reduce the amount that has been accrued in your deferred compensation account prior to the effective date of the amendment, modification or termination. 

  
 9 








 The determinations and interpretations of the Plan made by the Plan Administrator shall be final, binding,
and conclusive for all purposes under the Plan. The Plan Administrator may prescribe forms for participants to take action authorized or allowed under the Plan and may appoint agents and consult legal counsel and other professionals to assist in
administration of the Plan. The Plan Administrator may, in his or her discretion, adjust the value of a deferred compensation account on a basis other than as prescribed in deferral or reallocation elections, including but not limited to the use of
investment tracking funds other than those selected by the participant. The Plan Administrator will administer any claims under the Plan by following Section 503 of ERISA, any applicable regulations, and any other procedures the Plan
Administrator adopts. 
 The Plan Administrator may reject or reform a deferral election on any lawful basis, and may conform any provision of
the Plan to Legal Deferral Requirements. Where consistent with such requirements, the Plan Administrator may pay deferred compensation regardless of the participant’s election for payment at another time. 

Investment Tracking Funds and Indices — Additional Information 
 Each investment tracking fund and index mirrors the performance of the actual fund or index to which it refers. Following are descriptions and historic performance data for the actual funds and indices,
determined on a Total Return basis. Total Return means the change in price or value, plus dividends (if any) on a reinvested basis, less any management fees or expenses that apply under the actual fund. 

There is no guarantee that any of the funds will achieve its objectives or increase in value. Except to the extent you choose the investment tracking
fund for the MetLife SIP Fixed Income Fund, your deferrals may lose value. Each actively managed fund has investment management fees and/or other expenses associated with it. The descriptions below are derived from information provided by the funds
and other sources deemed to be reliable by the Plan Administrator. 
 Actively Managed Funds 

MetLife SIP Fixed Income Fund: The fund seeks to generate a predictable return through a specified interest rate, with preservation of original
principle invested. The Fixed Income Fund crediting rate is re-evaluated during the year. Changes may be made to the rate, up or down as appropriate, based on market conditions and the performance of the Fixed Income Fund Assets. The fund invests in
several MetLife issued GIC (Guaranteed Investment Contracts) Alternatives, which consist of bonds, international securities, public utilities and similar corporate issues. Participants receive a blended rate of return based on a weighted average of
all the separate interest rates payable under the various underlying assets. 

  
 10 









 Lord Abbett Bond Debenture Fund: This fund (the Lord Abbett Bond Debenture
Portfolio of the Met Investor Series Trust) is a mutual fund investment choice available under various variable insurance contracts issued by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and its affiliates. The fund seeks to provide high current income
and the opportunity for capital appreciation to produce a high total return. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests substantially all (at least 80%) of its net assets in bond, debenture and other fixed income securities. The fund normally
invests substantially all of its assets in high-yield and investment-grade debt securities. It may also invest in securities convertible into common stocks. Up to 80% of the fund’s assets may be invested in high-yield/high-risk debt securities
(“junk bonds”). In no event will the Portfolio invest more than 10% of its gross assets at the time of investment in debt securities which are in default as to interest or principal. At least 20% of the fund’s assets must be invested
in any combination of investment-grade debt securities, U.S. Government securities, and cash equivalents. The fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets in equity securities including common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible preferred
stocks, warrants and similar instruments. The fund may invest up to 15% of its assets in credit default swaps. The fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets in debt and equity securities primarily traded in foreign countries. The fund
attempts to invest in securities selling at reasonable prices in relation to the adviser’s assessment of its potential value. A, D  
 Oakmark Fund®: This fund is a mutual fund and seeks to
achieve long-term capital appreciation following a value style by investing primarily in the common stocks of U.S. companies. A, D, E, F, G, H 
 MetLife SIP Small Company Stock Fund: This fund is an individually managed fund that seeks to generate long-term growth of capital by investing in the stocks of smaller U.S. companies with strong
growth potential. The fund seeks to outperform the Russell 2000 Growth® Index which measures the performance of
small company stocks with lower market capitalization. Assets are diversified in the stocks of small companies which generally have market capitalization under $2 billion. Small companies generally reinvest their profits back into the company to
support future growth and therefore normally pay little or no dividends. Historically, however, their stock prices have had more potential to increase than those of larger companies. The fund’s growth strategy focuses on companies that show an
established pattern of business success, typically including accelerated growth, strong balance sheets, unique market positions and excellent management. The fund normally holds approximately 40 to 60 individual stocks.G 

Oakmark International Fund: This mutual fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation following a value style by
investing primarily in the common stocks of non-U.S. companies. The fund may invest in mature markets (e.g., Japan, Canada, United Kingdom) and in less developed markets (e.g., Mexico, Brazil, South Korea). Ordinarily, the fund will invest in the
securities of at least five countries outside the U.S. There are no geographic limits on the fund’s foreign investments, but the fund does not expect to invest more than 35% of its assets in securities of companies based in emerging
markets. B, E, F, G, H 

Market Indexes

India, Indonesia, Israel, Jordan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand and Turkey. B, E, F, G 
 Single-Stock Fund 
 MetLife Common Stock Fund: The performance of this fund will
depend on the price of MetLife, Inc. common stock, which is affected by market conditions and other factors, such as declared dividends. Like other individual stock funds, this fund is anticipated to have a relatively high risk profile. The
performance of this fund also includes the value of reinvested dividends on MetLife, Inc. common stock, if any. 
  

	A	 Bond and other
fixed-income securities involve both credit risk and market risk which includes interest rate risk. Credit risk is the risk that the security’s issuer will not pay the interest, dividends or principal that it has promised to pay. Market risk is
the risk that the value of the security will fall because of changes in market rates of interest or other factors. Interest rate risk reflects the fact that the values of fixed-income security tend to fall as interest rates rise. When interest rates
go down, interest earned on fixed-income securities will tend to decline. 


  

	B 	 Foreign securities pose additional risks that are not associated with U.S. domestic issues, such as changes in currency exchange rates and different
governmental regulations, economic conditions and accounting standards. 


  

	C	 Invests in growth
stocks, the prices of which may be more sensitive to changes in current or expected earnings than the prices of other stocks. Growth stocks may not perform as well as value stocks or the stock market in general. 



 

	D	 Lower rated high
yield, high risk securities generally involve more credit risk. These securities may also be subject to greater market price fluctuations than lower yielding, higher rated debt securities. 



 

	E	 Invests in the
common stock of large capitalization companies. These investments may not be able to attain the growth rates as high as those of successful smaller capitalization companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.



  

	F	 The common stocks
of medium-sized companies may be more volatile than those of larger, more established companies. 


  

	G	 Investments in
small capitalization and emerging growth companies involve greater than average risk. Such securities may have limited marketability and the issuers may have limited product lines, markets and financial resources. The value of such investments may
fluctuate more widely than investments in larger, more established companies. 



  
 12 










	H 	 Invests in stocks that tend to trade at lower prices relative to their fundamental financial characteristics and are therefore considered undervalued.
Value stocks can perform differently than other categories of stocks (e.g., growth stocks) and can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time.
