Item 29. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with Registrant

The separate accounts of Brighthouse Life Insurance Company of NY, Brighthouse Life Insurance Company, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company and New England Life Insurance Company (each, an “Insurance Company” and, collectively, the “Insurance Companies”) together own of record 100% of the Registrant’s outstanding shares. Because the Insurance Companies through their separate accounts own 100% of the outstanding shares of the Registrant, they may be deemed to be in control (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the Registrant. Each Insurance Company is a direct or indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife, Inc. or Brighthouse Financial, Inc. As a result, each of MetLife, Inc. and Brighthouse Financial, Inc. may be deemed to be a control person of the Registrant.

Item 30. Indemnification

The Registrant’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust provides that each Trustee and officer of the Registrant is entitled to be indemnified against all liabilities against him or her, including the costs of litigation, unless it is determined that the Trustee or officer (1) did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant; (2) had acted with willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his or her duties; and (3) in a criminal proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. Reference is made to Article VII, Sections 7.4, 7.5, 7.6 and 7.8 of the Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, which is incorporated by reference to Exhibit (a)(1) to Post-Effective Amendment No. 68 to the Registration Statement filed with the SEC on April 25, 2013.

The Fund Participation Agreements among the Registrant, Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“BIA”), Brighthouse Securities, LLC (“Brighthouse Securities”) and certain insurance companies (the “Participation Agreements”) provide that the Company, as defined respectively in each Participation Agreement, will indemnify and hold harmless the Registrant and its trustees and officers, and any person who controls the Registrant, against certain losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or litigation to which they may become subject to under any law or otherwise, so long as the losses are related to the sale or acquisition of the Registrant’s shares or certain variable life and variable annuity contracts and arise as a result of (1) making or allegedly making untrue statements of material fact or omitting or allegedly omitting material facts in any registration statements, prospectuses or statements of additional information, annual or semi-annual shareholder reports or sales literature, provided that no indemnity shall be given if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company for use in such documents; (2) statements or representations (other than those statements or representations contained in the documents listed in item 1) or wrongful conduct with respect to the sale of variable life and variable annuity contracts or shares of the Registrant; (3) making or allegedly making untrue statements of material fact contained in the registration statements, prospectuses or statements of additional information, sales literature or other promotional material required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements not misleading if such statements were furnished to the Registrant by the Company; (4) failure by the Company to provide services and furnish material under the terms of the Participation Agreements; or (5) any other material breach of the Participation Agreements by the Company.

The Participation Agreements provide that BIA and Brighthouse Securities will indemnify and hold harmless each Company and each of its directors and officers, and any person who controls each Company, against certain losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or litigation to which they may become subject to under any law or otherwise, so long as the losses are related to the sale or acquisition of the Registrant’s shares or certain variable life and variable annuity contracts and arise as a result of (1) making or allegedly making untrue statements of material fact or omitting or allegedly omitting material facts in any registration statements, prospectuses or statements of additional information, annual or semi-annual shareholder reports or sales literature, provided that no indemnity shall be given if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Registrant, BIA or

-11-

Brighthouse Securities for use in such documents; (2) statements or representations (other than those statements or representations contained in the documents listed in item 1 not supplied by BIA, Brighthouse Securities, or the Registrant or persons under their control) or wrongful conduct of BIA, Brighthouse Securities or the Registrant, with respect to the sale of variable life and variable annuity contracts or shares of the Registrant; (3) making or allegedly making untrue statements of material fact contained in the registration statements, prospectuses or statements of additional information, sales literature or other promotional material required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements not misleading if such statements were furnished to each Company by BIA, Brighthouse Securities or the Registrant; (4) failure by BIA, Brighthouse Securities or the Registrant to provide services and furnish material under the terms of the Participation Agreements; or (5) any other material breach of the Participation Agreements by BIA, Brighthouse Securities or the Registrant.

None of the indemnified parties in the Participation Agreements discussed above shall be indemnified for any losses if such loss was caused by or arises out of that party’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence or by reasons of such party’s reckless disregard of obligations and duties under the Participation Agreements.

For more specific information regarding the indemnification provisions of the Participation Agreements, please refer to Sections 8.1 and 8.2 of each Participation Agreement, which are incorporated by reference to Exhibits (h)(e)(1), (h)(e)(4), (h)(e)(5) and (h)(e)(6) to Post-Effective Amendment No. 84 to the Registration Statement filed with the SEC on April 27, 2017.

The Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) provides that Brighthouse Securities, LLC will indemnify and hold harmless the Registrant, and each of its directors and officers (or former officers and directors) and each person, if any, who controls the Trust against any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating and defending against the same and any counsel fees reasonably incurred in connection therewith), incurred under the federal Securities Act of 1933 or under common law or otherwise that arise out of or are based upon: (1) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in information furnished by Brighthouse Securities, LLC to the Registrant for use in the Registrant’s registration statement, Prospectus, or annual or interim reports to shareholders; (2) any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in connection with such information furnished by Brighthouse Securities, LLC to the Registrant that is required to be stated in any of such documents or necessary to make such information not misleading; (3) any misrepresentation or omission or alleged misrepresentation or omission in connection with the offer or sale of shares of the Registrant to state a material fact on the part of Brighthouse Securities, LLC or any agent or employee of Brighthouse Securities, LLC or any other person for whose acts Brighthouse Securities, LLC is responsible, unless such misrepresentation or omission or alleged misrepresentation or omission was made in reliance on written information furnished by the Registrant, or (4) the willful misconduct or failure to exercise reasonable care and diligence on the part of any such persons with respect to services rendered under the Distribution Agreement. Reference is made to Section 12 of the Distribution Agreement among the Registrant and Brighthouse Securities, LLC, which is incorporated by reference to Exhibit (e)(1) to Post-Effective Amendment No. 86 to the Registration Statement filed with the SEC on April 26, 2018.

The Transfer Agency Agreement (the “Transfer Agency Agreement”) among the Registrant, Brighthouse Funds Trust I (“Trust I”), and Brighthouse Life Insurance Company (“BLIC”) provides that BLIC will indemnify and hold the Registrant harmless from all damages and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Registrant as a result of BLIC’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, or that of its officers, agents and employees, in the performance of the Transfer Agency Agreement. The Transfer Agency Agreement also provides that the Registrant and Trust I will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold BLIC harmless from all loss, cost, damage and expense, including reasonable expenses for counsel, incurred by BLIC resulting from any claim, demand, action or suit in connection with the performance of its duties under the Transfer Agency Agreement, or the functions of transfer and dividend disbursing agent or as a result of acting upon any instruction reasonably believed by it to have been properly executed by a duly authorized officer of the Registrant or Trust I, or upon any information, data, records or documents provided BLIC or its agents by computer tape, telex, CRT data entry or other similar means authorized by the Registrant or Trust I, provided that this indemnification shall not apply to actions or omissions of BLIC in cases of its own willful misconduct or negligence or that of its officers, agents and employees. For more specific information regarding the indemnification provisions of the Transfer Agency Agreement, please refer to Section XIV of the Transfer Agency Agreement, which is incorporated by reference to Exhibit (h)(15) to Post-Effective Amendment No. 88 to the Registration Statement filed with the SEC on April 26, 2019.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) may be permitted to Trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a Trustee, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by any such Trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The Registrant, its Trustees and officers, are insured under a policy of insurance maintained by the Registrant within the limits and subject to the limitations of the policy, against certain expenses in connection with the defense of actions suits or proceedings, and certain liabilities that might be imposed as a result of such actions, suits or proceedings, to which they are parties by reason of being or having been such Trustees or officers. The policy expressly excludes coverage for any Trustee or officer whose personal dishonesty, fraudulent breach of trust, lack of good faith, or intention to deceive or defraud has been finally adjudicated or may be established or who willfully fails to act prudently.
