<strong>PRISM</strong> <strong>XC</strong><br />

New York<br />

The effects of income and penalty taxes have not been reflected in this illustration. For non-qualified contracts,<br />

while withdrawals are not depicted within this illustration, withdrawals from the contract will be subject to ordinary<br />

income tax to the extent that the account value immediately before the withdrawal exceeds the total amount paid<br />

into the contract. A withdrawal in excess of this amount will constitute a nontaxable return of principal. If the<br />

taxpayer has not attained age 59½ at the time of the distribution, the portion of the withdrawal that is subject to<br />

income tax may also be subject to a 10% Federal income tax penalty. A withdrawal in excess of the contract's<br />

free withdrawal amount may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (withdrawal charge) of up to 8%.<br />

The amount of the withdrawal charge declines to 0% over time. Please refer to your prospectus for further<br />

information.<br />

For any tax-qualified account, e.g., IRA, the tax deferred growth feature is already provided by the tax qualified<br />

retirement plan. Therefore, product features and benefits other than tax deferral should be the reasons for<br />

acquiring an annuity in a qualified retirement plan. The tax treatment of death benefit proceeds of an annuity<br />

contract differs from the tax treatment of death benefit proceeds of a life insurance policy. <strong>Annuity</strong> death benefit<br />

proceeds are generally taxed at the beneficiary’s ordinary income tax rate while life insurance death benefit<br />

proceeds are generally income tax-free. See your tax advisor and the prospectus.<br />

The <strong>PRISM</strong> <strong>XC</strong> variable annuity is issued by First MetLife Investors Insurance Company. MetLife Investors<br />

Distribution Company, a registered securities dealer, member FINRA, distributes these products. All product<br />

guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability and financial strength of the issuing insurance company.<br />

For every dollar Invested (prior to the contract anniversary immediately following the investor's 81st birthday),<br />

First MetLife Investors Insurance Company will automatically and immediately add 6% more to the investor's<br />

account. This purchase payment credit may result in the annuity having higher fees and expenses and a longer<br />

contingent deferred sales charge (withdrawal charge) period than a similar annuity without a purchase payment<br />

credit. Accordingly, investors should always consider the expenses and other factors along with the features and<br />

enhancements to be sure this annuity meets their financial needs.<br />

The Account Value for any point in time is an amount equal to the sum of each Accumulation Unit Value multiplied<br />

by the number of Units allocated to the Contract for each investment option. This value will fluctuate due to the<br />

investment performance of the selected investment option(s). The Account Value reflects the deduction of all<br />

charges. It does not reflect the impact of premium taxes, income taxes or the 10% Federal income tax penalty for<br />

most withdrawals made prior to age 59½.<br />

The Withdrawal Value for any point in time is an amount equal to the Account Value. The Withdrawal Value does<br />

not reflect the impact of the annual contract fee, premium taxes, income taxes, or the 10% Federal income tax<br />

penalty for most withdrawals made prior to age 59½.<br />

All numbers illustrated throughout this report have been rounded to the nearest dollar.<br />

All taxes and/or penalties due as a result of distributions from your annuity contract are the sole responsibility of<br />

the owner of the contract.<br />
