      Securities to the Company in settlement of such Stock Purchase Contracts
      on the Subsequent Stock Purchase Date. In the event the sum of the

      in the Remarketing or any other condition. The Custodial Agent, shall hold
      Separate Trust Preferred Securities in an account separate from the
      applicable Collateral Account in which the Pledged Securities shall be
      held. Holders of Separate Trust Preferred Securities electing to have
      their Separate Trust Preferred Securities remarketed will also have the

remaining portion of the Proceeds of such Remarketing for payment to the Holders
of the remarketed Separate Trust Preferred Securities, in accordance with their
respective interests. In the event of a Failed Remarketing, the Remarketing
Agent will promptly return such Separate Trust Preferred Securities to the
Custodial Agent for distribution to the appropriate Holders.

      irrevocably authorized to receive and collect all payments of (i) the
      liquidation amount of the Pledged Trust Preferred Securities and (ii) the
      principal amount of the Pledged Treasury Securities, subject, in each
      case, to the provisions of Article III hereof, and as otherwise granted
      herein.

            (d) The Stock Purchase Contract Agent, as attorney-in-fact of the
      Holders, and each Holder of Common Equity Units agrees that, from time to
      time, upon the written request of the Collateral Agent or the Stock
      Purchase Contract Agent, such Holder shall execute and deliver such
      further documents and do such other acts and things as the Company may
      reasonably request in order to maintain the Pledge, and the perfection and
      priority thereof, and to confirm the rights of the Collateral Agent
      hereunder. The Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall have no liability to
      any Holder for executing any documents or taking any such acts requested
      by the Collateral Agent hereunder, except for liability for its own
      negligent acts, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful
      misconduct.

            SECTION 7.02. Remarketing.

            The Collateral Agent shall, by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on
the Business Day immediately preceding an applicable Remarketing Date, notify
the Remarketing Agent of the aggregate liquidation amount of the applicable
series of Pledged Trust Preferred Securities that are to be remarketed and
without any instruction from any Holder of Normal Common Equity Units, present
the related Pledged Trust Preferred Securities of the applicable series to the
Remarketing Agent for Remarketing. In the event of a Failed Remarketing, the
Trust Preferred Securities presented to the Remarketing Agent pursuant to this
Section 7.02 for Remarketing shall be redeposited into the applicable Collateral
Account.

            SECTION 7.03. Successful Remarketing.

            In the event of a Successful Remarketing, the Collateral Agent
shall, at the written direction of the Company, instruct the Securities
Intermediary to (i) Transfer the applicable Pledged Trust Preferred Securities
to the Remarketing Agent upon confirmation of deposit by the Remarketing Agent
of the Proceeds of such Successful Remarketing (after deducting any Remarketing
Fee in accordance with the Remarketing Agreement) in the applicable Collateral
Account, (ii) apply an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price for the
shares of Common Stock to be issued under the related Stock Purchase Contracts
on the applicable Stock Purchase Date in full satisfaction of such Holders'
obligations to pay the Purchase Price under the related Stock Purchase
Contracts, and (iii) promptly remit the remaining portion of such Proceeds to
the Stock Purchase Contract Agent for payment to the Holders of Normal Common
Equity Units, in accordance with their respective interests and the Stock
Purchase Contract Agreement. With respect to Separate Trust Preferred
Securities, any Proceeds of such Remarketing (after deducting any Remarketing
Fee in accordance with the Remarketing Agreement) attributable to

                                       22
<PAGE>

the Separate Trust Preferred Securities will be remitted to the Custodial Agent
for payment to the holders of Separate Trust Preferred Securities. In the event
of a Final Failed Remarketing, the Pledged Trust Preferred Securities shall
remain credited to the Collateral Account and Section 5.07 shall apply.

            SECTION 7.04. Substitutions.

            Whenever a Holder has the right to substitute Treasury Securities,
Trust Preferred Securities or security entitlements for any of them, as the case
may be, for financial assets held in a Collateral Account, such substitution
shall not constitute a novation of the security interest created hereby.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; COVENANTS

            SECTION 8.01. Representations and Warranties.

            Each Holder from time to time, acting through the Stock Purchase
Contract Agent as attorney-in-fact (it being understood that the Stock Purchase
Contract Agent shall not be liable for any representation or warranty made by or
on behalf of a Holder), hereby represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent
(with respect to such Holder's interest in the Collateral), which
representations and warranties shall be deemed repeated on each day a Holder
Transfers Collateral, that:

            (a) such Holder has the power to grant a security interest in and
      lien on the Collateral;

            (b) such Holder is the sole beneficial owner of the Collateral and,
      in the case of Collateral delivered in physical form, is the sole holder
      of such Collateral and is the sole beneficial owner of, or has the right
      to Transfer, the Collateral it Transfers to the Collateral Agent for
      credit to an applicable Collateral Account, free and clear of any security
      interest, lien, encumbrance, call, liability to pay money or other
      restriction other than the security interest and lien granted under
      Article II hereof;

            (c) upon the Transfer of the Collateral to the Collateral Agent for
      credit to an applicable Collateral Account, the Collateral Agent, for the
      benefit of the Company, will have a valid and perfected first priority
      security interest therein (assuming that any central clearing operation or
      any securities intermediary or other entity not within the control of the
      Holder involved in the Transfer of the Collateral, including the
      Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary, gives the notices and
      takes the action required of it hereunder and under applicable law for
      perfection of that interest and assuming the establishment and exercise of
      control pursuant to Article IV hereof); and (d) the execution and
      performance by the Holder of its obligations under this Agreement will not
      result in the creation of any security interest, lien or other encumbrance
      on the Collateral other than the security interest and lien granted under
      Article II hereof or violate any provision of any existing law or
      regulation applicable to it or of any mortgage, charge,

                                       23
<PAGE>

      pledge, indenture, contract or undertaking to which it is a party or which
      is binding on it or any of its assets.

            SECTION 8.02. Covenants.

            The Holders from time to time, acting through the Stock Purchase
Contract Agent as their attorney-in-fact (it being understood that the Stock
Purchase Contract Agent shall not be liable for any covenant made by or on
behalf of a Holder), hereby covenant to the Collateral Agent that for so long as
the Collateral remains subject to the Pledge:

            (a) such Holders will not create or purport to create or allow to
      subsist any mortgage, charge, lien, pledge or any other security interest
      whatsoever over the Collateral or any part of it other than pursuant to
      this Agreement; and

            (b) such Holders will not sell or otherwise dispose (or attempt to
      dispose) of the Collateral or any part of it except for the beneficial
      interest therein, subject to the Pledge hereunder, transferred in
      connection with the Transfer of the Common Equity Units.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                    THE COLLATERAL AGENT, THE CUSTODIAL AGENT
                         AND THE SECURITIES INTERMEDIARY

            It is hereby agreed as follows:

            SECTION 9.01. Appointment, Powers and Immunities.

            The Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities
Intermediary shall act as agent for the Company hereunder with such powers as
are specifically vested in the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the
Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, by the terms of this Agreement. The
Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and Securities Intermediary shall:

            (a) have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set
      forth in this Agreement and no implied covenants, functions,
      responsibilities, duties, liabilities or obligations shall be inferred
      from this Agreement against the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and
      the Securities Intermediary, nor shall the Collateral Agent, the Custodial
      Agent and the Securities Intermediary be bound by the provisions of any
      agreement by any party hereto beyond the specific terms hereof and none of
      the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary
      shall have any fiduciary relationship to the Holders of the Common Equity
      Units or any other Person;

            (b) not be responsible for any recitals contained in this Agreement,
      or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or
      received by it under, this Agreement, the Common Equity Units or the Stock
      Purchase Contract Agreement, or for the value, validity, effectiveness,
      genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement (other than
      as against the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities
      Intermediary, as the case may be), the Common Equity Units, any Collateral
      or

                                       24
<PAGE>

      the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement or any other document referred to or
      provided for herein or therein or for any failure by the Company or any
      other Person (except the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the
      Securities Intermediary, as the case may be) to perform any of its
      obligations hereunder or thereunder or for the validity, perfection,
      enforceability, priority or, except as expressly required hereby,
      maintenance of any security interest created hereunder;

            (c) not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or
      collection proceedings hereunder (except pursuant to directions furnished
      under Section 9.02 hereof, subject to Section 9.08 hereof);

            (d) not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken
      by it hereunder or under any other document or instrument referred to or
      provided for herein or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its
      own negligence or willful misconduct; and

            (e) not be required to advise any party as to selling or retaining,
      or taking or refraining from taking any action with respect to, any
      securities or other property deposited hereunder.

            Subject to the foregoing, during the term of this Agreement, the
Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall take
all reasonable action in connection with the safekeeping and preservation of the
Collateral hereunder as determined by industry standards.

            The Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary and Custodial Agent
shall only be responsible for transferring money, securities or other property
in accordance with the terms herein to the extent that such money, securities or
other property is credited to the respective Collateral Account.

            No provision of this Agreement shall require the Collateral Agent,
Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary to expend or risk its own funds
or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its
duties or the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder. In no event
shall the Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary be
liable for any amount in excess of the Value of the Collateral.

            SECTION 9.02. Instructions of the Company.

            The Company shall have the right, by one or more written instruments
executed and delivered to the Collateral Agent, to direct the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for the realization of any right or remedy
available to the Collateral Agent, or of exercising any power conferred on the
Collateral Agent, or to direct the taking or refraining from taking of any
action authorized by this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) such direction
shall not conflict with the provisions of any law or of this Agreement or
involve the Collateral Agent in personal liability and (ii) the Collateral Agent
shall be indemnified to its satisfaction as provided herein. None of the
Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary has any
obligation or responsibility to file any UCC financing or continuation

                                       25
<PAGE>

statements or to take any other actions to create, preserve or maintain the
security interest in the Collateral except as expressly set forth herein.

            SECTION 9.03. Reliance by Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent and
Securities Intermediary.

            Each of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities
Intermediary shall be entitled, in the absence of bad faith, to rely
conclusively upon any certification, order, judgment, opinion, notice or other
written communication (including, without limitation, any thereof by e-mail or
similar electronic means, telecopy, telex or facsimile) believed by it to be
genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the
proper Person or Persons (without being required to determine the correctness of
any fact stated therein) and consult with and conclusively rely upon advice,
opinions and statements of legal counsel and other experts selected by the
Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, as the
case may be. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the
Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall in
all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder
in accordance with instructions given by the Company in accordance with this
Agreement. In the event any instructions are given (other than in writing at the
time of the execution of this Agreement), whether in writing, by telecopier or
otherwise, the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities
Intermediary are authorized to seek confirmation of such instructions by
telephone call-back to the person or persons designated on Schedule I hereto,
and the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary
may rely upon the confirmations of anyone purporting to be the person or persons
so designated. The persons and telephone numbers for call-backs may be changed
only in writing actually received and acknowledged by the Collateral Agent, the
Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary.

            It is understood that the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and
the Securities Intermediary in any funds transfer may rely solely upon any
account numbers or similar identifying number provided by the Company to
identify (i) the beneficiary, (ii) the beneficiary's bank, or (iii) an
intermediary bank. The Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities
Intermediary may apply any of the deposited funds for any payment order it
executes using any such identifying number, even where its use may result in a
Person other than the beneficiary being paid, or the transfer of funds to a bank
other than the beneficiary's bank, or an intermediary bank, designated by the
Company; provided, however, that payment is made to the account as specified by
the Company.

            In each case that the Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or
Securities Intermediary may or is required hereunder to take any action,
including without limitation to make any determination or judgment, to give
consents, to exercise rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral
or otherwise to act hereunder, the Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or
Securities Intermediary may seek direction from the Company. The Collateral
Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary shall not be liable with
respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the direction from the Company. Unless direction is otherwise
expressly provided herein, if the Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or
Securities Intermediary shall request direction from the Company with respect to
any action, the Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary
shall be entitled to refrain from such

                                       26
<PAGE>

action unless and until such agent shall have received direction from the
Company, and the agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so
refraining.

            SECTION 9.04. Certain Rights.

            (a) Whenever in the administration of the provisions of this
      Agreement the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities
      Intermediary shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved
      or established prior totaling or suffering any action to be taken
      hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein
      specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on
      the part of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities
      Intermediary, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a
      certificate signed by one of the Company's officers, and delivered to the
      Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary and
      such certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of
      the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary,
      shall be full warrant to the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the
      Securities Intermediary for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it
      under the provisions of this Agreement upon the faith thereof.

            (b) The Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities
      Intermediary shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts
      or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
      opinion, report, notice, request, consent, entitlement order, approval or
      other paper or document.

            SECTION 9.05. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to
Business.

            Any Person into which the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or
the Securities Intermediary may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the
Securities Intermediary shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or
substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Collateral Agent, the
Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary shall be the successor of the
Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary hereunder
without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto except where an instrument
of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

            SECTION 9.06. Rights in Other Capacities.

            The Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities
Intermediary and their affiliates may (without having to account therefore to
the Company) accept deposits from, lend money to, make their investments in and
generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Stock
Purchase Contract Agent, any other Person interested herein and any Holder of
Common Equity Units (and any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates) as
if it were not acting as the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the
Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, and the Collateral Agent, the
Custodial Agent, the Securities Intermediary and

                                       27
<PAGE>

their affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from the Stock Purchase
Contract Agent and any Holder of Common Equity Units without having to account
for the same to the Company; provided that each of the Securities Intermediary,
the Custodial Agent and the Collateral Agent covenants and agrees with the
Company that it shall not accept, receive or permit there to be created in favor
of itself and shall take no affirmative action to permit there to be created in
favor of any other Person, any security interest, lien or other encumbrance of
any kind in or upon the Collateral other than the lien created by the Pledge.

            SECTION 9.07. Non-reliance on Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent
and Securities Intermediary.

            None of the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent or the
Collateral Agent shall be required to keep itself informed as to the performance
or observance by the Stock Purchase Contract Agent or any Holder of Common
Equity Units of this Agreement, the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement, the
Common Equity Units or any other document referred to or provided for herein or
therein or to inspect the properties or books of the Stock Purchase Contract
Agent or any Holder of Common Equity Units. None of the Collateral Agent, the
Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary shall have any duty or
responsibility to provide the Company with any credit or other information
concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Stock Purchase
Contract Agent or any Holder of Common Equity Units (or any of their respective
affiliates) that may come into the possession of the Collateral Agent, the
Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary or any of their respective
affiliates.

            SECTION 9.08. Compensation and Indemnity.

            The Company agrees to:

            (a) pay the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities
      Intermediary from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed in
      writing between the Company and the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent
      or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, for all services
      rendered by them hereunder;

            (b) indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent, the Custodial
      Agent, the Securities Intermediary and each of their respective directors,
      officers, agents and employees (collectively, the "Indemnitees"), from and
      against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, fines, penalties
      and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) and taxes
      (other than those based upon, determined by or measured by the income of
      the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and Securities Intermediary)
      (collectively, "Losses" and individually, a "Loss") that may be imposed
      on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Indemnitees or any of them for
      following any instructions or other directions upon which either the
      Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary is
      entitled to rely pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, provided that
      the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary
      has not acted with negligence or engaged in willful misconduct with
      respect to the specific Loss against which indemnification is sought; and

                                       28
<PAGE>

            (c) in addition to and not in limitation of paragraph (b)immediately
      above, indemnify and hold the Indemnitees and each of them harmless from
      and against any and all Losses that may be imposed on, incurred by or
      asserted against, the Indemnitees or any of them in connection with or
      arising out of the Collateral Agent's, the Custodial Agent's or the
      Securities Intermediary's acceptance or performance of its powers and
      duties under this Agreement, provided that the Collateral Agent, the
      Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary has not acted with
      negligence or engaged in willful misconduct with respect to the specific
      Loss against which indemnification is sought.

            The provisions of this Section and Section 11.07 shall survive the
resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities
Intermediary and the termination of this Agreement.

            SECTION 9.09. Failure to Act.

            In the event of any ambiguity in the provisions of this Agreement or
any dispute between or conflicting claims by or among the parties hereto or any
other Person with respect to any funds or property deposited hereunder, then at
its sole option, each of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the
Securities Intermediary shall be entitled, after prompt notice to the Company
and the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, to refuse to comply with any and all
claims, demands or instructions with respect to such property or funds so long
as such dispute or conflict shall continue, and the Collateral Agent, the
Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall not be or become liable in
any way to any of the parties hereto for its failure or refusal to comply with
such conflicting claims, demands or instructions. The Collateral Agent, the
Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall be entitled to refuse to
act until either:

            (a) such conflicting or adverse claims or demands shall have been
      finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or settled by
      agreement between the conflicting parties as evidenced in a writing
      satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the
      Securities Intermediary; or

            (b) the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities
      Intermediary shall have received security or an indemnity satisfactory to
      it sufficient to save it harmless from and against any and all loss,
      liability or reasonable out-of-pocket expense which it may incur by reason
      of its acting.

            Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, none of
the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary shall
be required to take any action that is contrary to law or to the terms of this
Agreement, or which would in its opinion subject it or any of its officers,
employees or directors to liability.

            SECTION 9.10. Resignation of Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent
and Securities Intermediary.

            Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Collateral
Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary as provided below:

                                       29
<PAGE>

            (A) the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities
      Intermediary may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the
      Company and the Stock Purchase Contract Agent as attorney-in-fact for the
      Holders of Common Equity Units;

            (B) the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities
      Intermediary may be removed at any time by the Company; and

            (C) if the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities
      Intermediary fails to perform any of its material obligations hereunder in
      any material respect for a period of not less than 20 days after receiving
      written notice of such failure by the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, and
      such failure shall be continuing, the Collateral Agent, the Custodial
      Agent and the Securities Intermediary may be removed by the Stock Purchase
      Contract Agent, acting at the direction of the Holders of a majority in
      number of the Common Equity Units.

            The Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly notify the Company
of any removal of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities
Intermediary pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 9.10. Upon any such
resignation or removal, the Company shall have the right to appoint a successor
Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary, as the case may
be. If no successor Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary
shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30
days after the retiring Collateral Agent's, Custodial Agent's or Securities
Intermediary's giving of notice of resignation or the Company's or the Stock
Purchase Contract Agent's giving notice of such removal, then the retiring or
removed Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction, at the expense of the Company, for
the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities
Intermediary. The Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities
Intermediary shall each be a bank, trust company or national banking association
with a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. Upon the acceptance
of any appointment as Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities
Intermediary hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or
Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, such successor Collateral Agent,
Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary, as
the case may be, and the retiring Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or
Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, shall take all appropriate action,
subject to payment of any amounts then due and payable to it hereunder, to
transfer any money and property held by it hereunder (including the Collateral)
to such successor. The retiring Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities
Intermediary shall, upon such succession, be discharged from its duties and
obligations as Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary
hereunder. After any retiring Collateral Agent's, Custodial Agent's or

                   MANAGEMENT RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

      MetLife, Inc. confirms that, on [GRANT DATE] (the "Grant Date"), it
granted you, [NAME], [NUMBER] Restricted Stock Units (your "Units"). Your Units
are subject to the terms and conditions of this Management Restricted Stock Unit
Agreement (this "Agreement") and the MetLife, Inc. 2005 Stock and Incentive
Compensation Plan (the "Plan").

      1. STANDARD SETTLEMENT TERMS. Except as provided in Sections 2 (Change of
Status) and 3 (Change of Control), the Period of Restriction for your Units will
expire, and each of your Units will be due and payable in the form of a Share,
on the third anniversary of the Grant Date (the "Standard Settlement Terms").

      2. CHANGE OF STATUS. For purposes of this Section 2, your transfer between
the Company and an Affiliate, or among Affiliates, will not be a termination of
employment. In the event of a Change of Control, any applicable terms of Section
3 (Change of Control) will supersede the terms of this Section 2.

      (a) Long-Term Disability. In the event of you qualify for long-term
disability benefits under a plan or arrangement offered by the Company or an
Affiliate for its Employees, the Standard Settlement Terms will continue to
apply to your Units. Once this provision applies, no other change of status
described in this Section 2 (except the provision regarding termination for
Cause) will affect your Units, even if you subsequently return to active service
or your employment with the Company or an Affiliate terminates other than for
Cause.

      (b) Death. In the event that your employment with the Company or an
Affiliate terminates due to your death, each of your Units will be due and
payable in the form of cash at a value equal to the Closing Price on the date of
your death.

      (c) Retirement. If your employment with the Company or an Affiliate
terminates (other than for Cause) on after your early retirement date or normal
retirement date (in each case determined under any ERISA qualified pension plan
offered by the Company or an Affiliate in which you participate, if any)
("Retirement"), the Standard Settlement Terms will continue to apply to your
Units.

      (d) Bridge Eligibility. If your employment with the Company or an
Affiliate terminates (other than for Cause) with bridge eligibility for
retirement-related medical benefits (determined under the ERISA qualified
benefit plan offered by the Company or an Affiliate in which you participate, if
any) ("Bridge Eligibility"), and your separation agreement (offered to you under
the severance program offered by the Company or an Affiliate to its Employees)
becomes final, the Standard Settlement Terms will continue to apply to your
Units.

      (e) Termination for Cause. In the event that your employment with the
Company or an Affiliate terminates for Cause, your Units will be forfeited
immediately.

<PAGE>

      (f) Other Termination of Employment. Unless the Committee determines
otherwise, if no other provision in this Section 2 regarding change of status
applies, including, for example, your voluntary termination of employment, your
termination without Retirement or Bridge Eligibility, or the termination of your
employment by the Company or an Affiliate without Cause, your Units will be
forfeited immediately. To the extent you are offered a separation agreement by
the Company or an Affiliate, the value of your forfeited Units may, in the
discretion of the Company or Affiliate, be considered in determining the terms
of that offer.

      3. CHANGE OF CONTROL.

      (a) Except as provided in Section 3(b), and unless otherwise prohibited
under law or by applicable rules of a national security exchange, if a Change of
Control occurs, your Units will be due and payable in the form of cash equal to
the number of your Units multiplied by the Change of Control Price, and such sum
shall be paid to you within thirty (30) day of the Change of Control.

      (b) The terms of Section 3(a) will not apply to your Units if the
Committee reasonably determines in good faith, prior to the Change of Control,
that you have been granted an Alternative Award for your Units pursuant to
Section 15.2 of the Plan.

      4. NONTRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS. Except as provided in Section 5 or as
otherwise permitted by the Committee, you may not sell, transfer, pledge, assign
or otherwise alienate or hypothecate any of your Units, and all rights with
respect to your Units are exercisable during your lifetime only by you.

      5. BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION. You may name any beneficiary or beneficiaries
(who may be named contingently or successively) who may then exercise any right
under this Agreement in the event of your death. Each beneficiary designation
for such purpose will revoke all such prior designations. Beneficiary
designations must be properly completed on a form prescribed by the Committee
and must be filed with the Company during your lifetime. If you have not
designated a beneficiary, your rights under this Agreement will pass to and may
be exercised by your estate.

      6. TAX WITHHOLDING. The Company will withhold from payment made under this
Agreement an amount sufficient to satisfy the minimum statutory Federal, state,
and local tax withholding requirements relating to payment on account of your
Units.

      7. ADJUSTMENTS. The Committee may, in its discretion, make adjustments in
the terms and conditions of your Units in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring
events affecting the Company or its financial statements, or in recognition of
changes to applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the
Committee determines that such adjustments are appropriate to prevent unintended
dilution or enlargement of the potential benefits of your Units. The Committee's
determination in this regard will be conclusive.

      8. TIMING OF PAYMENT. The Company will make payment to you as reasonably
practicable after such payment become payable under this Agreement, unless you
have earlier deferred such payment in accordance with arrangements offered to
you for that purpose. If Shares are to paid to you, you will receive evidence of
ownership of those Shares.

      9. CLOSING PRICE. For purposes of this Agreement, Closing Price will mean
the closing price of a Share as reported in the principal consolidated
transaction reporting system for the New York

                                       2
<PAGE>

Stock Exchange (or on such other recognized quotation system on which the
trading prices of the Shares are quoted at the relevant time), or in the event
that there are no Share transactions reported on such tape or other system on
the applicable date, the closing price on the immediately preceding date on
which Share transactions were reported. Closing Price shall constitute "Fair
Market Value" under the Plan for all purposes related to your Units.

      10. NO GUARANTEE OF EMPLOYMENT. This Agreement is not a contract of
employment and it is not a guarantee of employment for life or any period of
time. Nothing in this Agreement interferes with or limits in any way the right
of the Company or an Affiliates to terminate your employment at any time. This
Agreement does not give you any right to continue in the employ of the Company
or an Affiliate.

      11. GOVERNING LAW; CHOICE OF FORUM. This Agreement will be construed in
accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of
the law that might be applied under principles of conflict of laws. Any action
to enforce this Agreement or any action otherwise regarding this Agreement must
be brought in a court in the State of New York, to which jurisdiction the
Company and you consent.

      12. MISCELLANEOUS. For purposes of this Agreement, "Committee" includes
any direct or indirect delegate of the Committee as defined in the Plan, and the
word "Section" refers to a Section in this Agreement. Any other capitalized word
used in this Agreement and not defined in this Agreement, including each form of
that word, is defined in the Plan. Any determination or interpretation by the
Committee pursuant to this Agreement will be final and conclusive. In the event
of a conflict between any term of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the
terms of the Plan control. This Agreement and the Plan represent the entire
agreement between you and the Company, and you and all Affiliates regarding your
Units. No promises, terms, or agreements of any kind regarding your Units that
are not set forth, or referred to, in this Agreement or in the Plan are part of
this Agreement. In the event any provision of this Agreement is held illegal or
invalid, the rest of this Agreement will remain enforceable. If you are an
Employee of an Affiliate, your Units are being provided to you by the Company on
behalf of that Affiliate, and the value of your Units will be considered a
compensation obligation of that Affiliate. Your Units are not Shares and do not
give you the rights of a holder of Shares. You will not be credited with
additional Units on account of any dividend paid on Shares. The issuance of
Shares or payment of cash pursuant to your Units is subject to all applicable
laws, rules and regulations, and to any approvals by any governmental agencies
or national securities exchanges as may be required. No Shares will be issued or
no cash will be paid if that issuance or payment would result in a violation of
applicable law, including the federal securities laws and any applicable state
or foreign securities laws.

      13. AMENDMENTS. The Committee has the exclusive right to amend this
Agreement as long as the amendment does not adversely affect any of your
previously-granted Awards in any material way (without your written consent) and
is otherwise consistent with the Plan. The Company will give written notice to
you (or, in the event of your death, to your beneficiary or estate) of any
amendment as promptly as practicable after its adoption.

      14. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS. The
following is a brief summary of the federal income tax aspects of Restricted
Stock Units under the Plan, based upon the federal income tax laws in effect on
the date of this Agreement. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive, and
the exact tax consequences to you will depend upon your particular circumstances
and

                                       3
<PAGE>

other factors. Generally, a Participant will not recognize income, nor will the
Company or its subsidiaries be entitled to take a deduction, on the grant of
Restricted Stock Units. A Participant will recognize ordinary income on the
value of the cash or Shares receivable, if any, in the tax year in which the
Participant receives, or has the right to receive, the cash or Shares. Future
appreciation in the Shares issued will be taxed to the Participant, when the
Participant sells any such Shares, at short or long term capital gain rates
(depending on how long the Participant held the Shares). The Company or
Affiliate that is the employer of the Participant generally will be entitled to
a tax deduction equal to the amount recognized as ordinary income by the
Participant in the same year that the Participant recognizes the ordinary
income. The Company or Affiliate will not be entitled to a tax deduction for
income recognized by a Participant on the sale of Shares or for compensation
amounts that are determined to be "unreasonable" under the tax law.

      15. AGREEMENT TO PROTECT CORPORATE PROPERTY. The grant of your Units is
subject to your execution of the Agreement to Protect Corporate Property
provided to you with this Agreement ("Property Agreement"). If you do not return
a signed copy of the Property Agreement, this Agreement and the Units granted to
you will be void. The Company may in its sole discretion allow an extension of
time for you to return your signed Property Agreement.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused its duly authorized officer to
execute this Agreement, and you have executed this Agreement.
