Metropolitan Series Fund

Deferred Fee Agreement

January 1, 2013

WHEREAS,             is a Trustee of Metropolitan Series Fund (“the Trust”); and

WHEREAS, the Trust desires to offer incentives to retain the services of the Trustee; and

WHEREAS, the Trust has agreed to pay fees to the Trustee for services as a Trustee of the Trust; and

WHEREAS, the Trustee desires to defer receipt of said fees in the manner described in this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, the Trust and the Trustee agree as follows:

1. Election of Deferment. The Trustee hereby irrevocably elects to defer receipt of the amount or percentage set forth in the Election Form attached hereto of all retainer fees and fees for attendance at meetings (including fees relating to services as Chair or member of any Committee of the Trust’s Board of Trustees) which would otherwise be paid in cash to the Trustee (the “Fees”) with respect to services of the Trustee to be performed subsequent to the end of the calendar year during which this election is made.

A. This election is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and shall continue in effect with respect to Fees earned for each calendar year subsequent to the end of the calendar year in which this election is made unless, prior to January 1 of the year in question, Trustee shall have filed with the Treasurer of the Trust (the “Treasurer”) a written revocation of this election and/or a superseding election. Fees deferred pursuant to this Agreement shall be hereinafter called the “Deferred Fees.” Any Fees in excess of the Deferred Fees in any fiscal quarter shall be paid to the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the agreement or arrangement under which such Fees became payable to the Trustee.

B. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing, an individual who first becomes a Trustee after the beginning of a calendar year may, within thirty (30) days of initial eligibility, elect to defer eligible compensation for the remainder of such year by executing an irrevocable deferral election on a form prescribed by the Treasurer with respect to his or her eligible compensation in respect of services to be performed during the remainder of the calendar year following such election. An individual who already participates or is eligible to participate in (including, except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 1.409A-2(a)(7) of the Treasury regulations, an individual who has any entitlement, vested or unvested, to payments under) any other nonqualified deferred compensation plan that would be required to be aggregated with the Agreement for purposes of Section 1.409A-1(c)(2) of the Treasury regulations shall not be treated as eligible for the mid-year election rules of this Section 1.B with respect to the Agreement, even if he or she had never previously been eligible to participate in this Agreement itself.

2. Trustee’s Deferment Account. For bookkeeping purposes only, the Trust shall establish and maintain an account for the Trustee (the “Trustee’s Deferment Account”) to which the following credits and debits shall be made:

A. On or about the last day of the month following the quarterly meeting of the Trustees (the “Normal Payment Date”), the Trustee’s Deferment Account shall be credited with the amount of any Deferred Fees that would otherwise normally be paid to the Trustee. Solely for purposes of calculating the balance standing to the credit of the Trustee’s Deferment Account from time to time, and without any requirement of actual investment or payment by the Trust, such Deferred Fees shall be assumed to have been invested (without payment of a sales charges) in shares of the Trust or Met Investors Series Trust or a portfolio thereof (“Shares”) as of the opening of business on the Normal Payment Date, in accordance with the allocation set forth in the Election Form attached hereto, provided that the Trustee may allocate the Trustee’s Deferment Account among no more than ten (10) portfolios; and further provided that, if the Trustee enters into in a deferred fee agreement with the Met Investors Series Trust (a “MIST Agreement”), the total number of portfolios to which the Trustee allocates the Trustee’s Deferment Account and the Trustee’s deferment account under the MIST Agreement shall in no case be more than ten (10) portfolios.

B. Prior to the commencement of each calendar quarter, the Trustee will have the option to reallocate, for hypothetical investment purposes, (i) Deferred Fees earned beginning in the subsequent quarter and (ii) the balance of the existing Trustee’s Deferment Account among new portfolios, both subject to the ten-portfolio maximum prescribed in Section 2.A. above. Notice of any such reallocation must be delivered to the Treasurer at least 15 days prior to the commencement of the calendar quarter in question. If Deferred Fees for any calendar quarter are directed to be allocated among portfolios that include any that are different (each, a “New Portfolio”) from the portfolios in which the Trustee’s Deferment Account was hypothetically invested at the time of such election, except as the Treasurer of the Trust may otherwise determine, the entirety of the Trustee’s Deferment Account shall be allocated for hypothetical purposes, effective as of the first day of such quarter, among the portfolios selected for the hypothetical investment of Deferred Fees for such quarter, in the same proportion as the allocation of Deferred Fees for such quarter.

C. If the Shares shall at any time be changed by recapitalization, consolidation, combination, stock dividend or split, reverse stock split, conversion, or similar change in capitalization, the Trust shall make appropriate equitable adjustments in the number and nature of Shares deemed credited to the Trustee’s Deferment Account, consistent with the changes being made to such Shares, such that the hypothetical investment in the Shares subject to such change shall continue, from the date of the change, as a hypothetical investment in such portfolio, and, solely for purposes of calculating the balance standing to the credit of the Trustee’s Deferment Account from time to time, any dividends or distributions which would not have originally been paid in Shares shall be assumed to have been reinvested in additional Shares at the times and in the manner prescribed by the general procedures for automatic reinvestment of the trust to which such portfolio belongs.

2

D. The Trustee’s Deferment Account shall be credited in the amount of any appreciation, and shall be debited in the amount of any depreciation, in the value of all Shares assumed to have been acquired through hypothetical investment of Deferred Fees and hypothetical reinvestment of dividends or distributions assumed to have been paid with respect to such hypothetical investment, as determined from time to time by the Trust.

E. The Treasurer of the Trust is authorized to reallocate the amount of the hypothetical investment in any portfolio to the other portfolios designated by the Trustee on the Election Form if, pursuant to approval of the Board of Trustees of the Trust to which such portfolio belongs, the portfolio (but not the trust) is liquidated. Each such hypothetical investment to be reallocated shall be reallocated in proportion to each of the hypothetical investments in the other portfolios designated by the Trustee on the Election Form. If no other portfolio has been designated by the Trustee, the Treasurer of the Trust is authorized to transfer the amount of the hypothetical investment in the liquidating portfolio to the Money Market Portfolio of the Trust (the “Money Market Portfolio”).

F. If a portfolio to which the Trustee has allocated Deferred Fees merges with a portfolio of the Trust or Met Investors Series Trust, the Trustee will have the option to reallocate by way of notice to the Treasurer any Deferred Fees allocated to such portfolio. If no portfolio is designated by the Trustee for reallocation, the Treasurer of the Trust is authorized to transfer the amount of the hypothetical investment in the merging portfolio to the Money Market Portfolio. If a portfolio to which the Trustee has allocated Deferred Fees merges with another portfolio of the same trust, the Trustee will have the option to reallocate by way of notice to the Treasurer any Deferred Fees allocated to such portfolio. If no portfolio is designated by the Trustee for reallocation, such Deferred Fees will be reallocated to the surviving portfolio.

As a result of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, the amount standing to the credit of the Trustee’s Deferment Account at any time shall be equal to the value of a hypothetical investment, made at the times prescribed above, of the Deferred Fees in Shares, subject to debits to the Trustee’s Deferment Account as provided in the Election Form or Section 3.D and assuming automatic reinvestment of all dividends and distributions which would have been paid on account of such investment (other than dividends or distributions which would have originally been paid in Shares). When used herein with respect to Shares or dividends and distributions reinvested in Shares, the term “value” shall refer to the net asset value of such Shares as determined by the Trust. The Trustees shall at any time be considered fully vested in such Trustee’s Deferment Account.

3. Payments to the Trustee or his Beneficiary. The Trust shall pay the balance of a Trustee’s Deferment Account to the Trustee or the Trustee’s beneficiary as follows and shall make appropriate debits to the Trustee’s Deferment Account to reflect these payments:

3

A. Maturity of the Trustee’s Deferment Account. The Trustee’s Deferment Account shall mature upon the first to occur of the following events:

(1) On January 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Trustee separates from service, including without limitation, by reason of death; or

(2) Unless the Treasurer of the Trust otherwise determines, in the circumstances described in and subject to the rules specified in Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix) of the Treasury regulations.

B. Payment to the Trustee. Trustee hereby elects to have Deferred Fees, including all income, gains and losses credited or charged with respect thereto, paid in the form set forth in the attached Election Form.

C. Change in Payment Plan. A Trustee who has specified a payment date or payment plan (the date of such payment, or of the first of such payments, the “original payment date”) for any amount deferred in the Election Form may elect to postpone payment of such amount provided that (i) such election is made irrevocably not later than twelve (12) months in advance of the original payment date and does not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after such election, and (ii) designates a new payment date that is not sooner than five (5) years after the original payment date. However, a Trustee that otherwise meets the requirements of this section 3.C may only elect to have postponed payments paid in accordance with a payment plan set forth in the Election Form; provided, however, that a Trustee who initially elects to be paid (i) in a lump sum may only elect to have postponed payments paid in a lump sum or in accordance with the Five Year Payment Plan, in each case all the payments of which must be paid within ten years of the original payment date, (ii) in accordance with the Five Year Payment Plan may only elect to have postponed payments paid in a lump sum or in accordance with the Five Year Payment Plan, in each case all the payments of which must be paid within ten years of the original payment date, and (iii) in accordance with the Ten Year Payment Plan may only elect to have postponed payments paid in a lump sum or in accordance with the Five Year Payment Plan, in each case all the payments of which must be paid within ten years of the original payment date. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Trustee elects to postpone payments under this section 3.C, the postponed lump sum payment or first installment payment date must be no sooner than five (5) years after the original payment date, and subsequent installments, if any, will be paid in accordance with the schedule in the Election Form taking into account the later initial payment. For purposes of this Agreement, installment payments paid under this Agreement will be treated as a single payment within the meaning of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury regulations.

D. Separation From Service. For purposes of this Agreement, the term separation from service shall mean a “separation from service” (as defined at Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury regulations).

4

E. Payment to the Trustee’s Beneficiary. If the Trustee dies before any payment or all payments have been made under this Agreement, the Trust shall pay to the Trustee’s beneficiary (as designated by the Trustee on the Election Form attached), on each date that the Trustee would have otherwise received payment as cash in amounts equal to such payment that the Trustee would have otherwise received pursuant to this Agreement.

F. Calculation of Balance and Debits to Reflect Payment. As provided in Section 2 hereof, the balance standing to the credit of the Trustee’s Deferment Account at any time shall be the value of all Shares assumed to have been acquired as aforesaid, such value to be determined as of the close of business on that date. Whenever any Deferred Fee payment is made hereunder, a debit shall be made to the Trustee’s Deferment Account to reflect such payment, and the total number of Shares assumed to have been so acquired shall be reduced by that number of Shares whose aggregate value as of the date of maturity or, in the case of installment payments, as of the applicable January 1 of the year in question, is equal to the amount of such payment.

4. Nature of Claim for Payments. The Trust shall not be required to set aside, segregate or deposit any Trusts or assets of any kind to meet any of its obligations hereunder. All obligations of the Trust hereunder shall be reflected by book entries only, and neither the Trustee nor any beneficiary shall have any rights on account of this Agreement in or to any specific assets of the Trust. Any rights that the Trustee and any beneficiary may have on account of this Agreement shall be solely those of a general, unsecured creditor of the Trust.

5. Restriction on Alienation. Neither the Trustee nor any beneficiary nor any next-of-kin shall have any right to sell, assign, transfer or otherwise convey the rights to receive payments hereunder, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, which payments and the rights thereto are expressly declared to be non-assignable and non-transferable.

6. Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and guidance issued thereunder and shall be construed accordingly. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Trust nor any person acting on behalf of the Trust shall be liable to the Trustee or to his or her estate or beneficiary by reason of any acceleration of income, or any additional tax, asserted by reason of the failure of this Agreement to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or by reason of Section 4999 of the Code.

7. Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Trust, its successors and assigns and the Trustee, his personal representatives, designated beneficiary and next-of-kin.
