Issued by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company

Massachusetts Mutual Variable Life Separate Account I

This prospectus describes an individual, flexible premium, adjustable, variable life insurance policy (the policy) offered by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company. While this policy is in force, it provides lifetime insurance protection on the insured. In some states the coverage may be issued by certificate under a group contract.

The owner (you or your) has a number of investment choices in this policy. They include a guaranteed principal account (the GPA) and the funds offered through our Separate Account, Massachusetts Mutual Variable Life Separate Account I (the Separate Account). These funds are listed on the following page.

You bear the investment risk of any premium allocated to these investment funds. The death benefit may vary and the net surrender value will vary, depending on the investment performance of the funds.

This prospectus is not an offer to sell the policy in any jurisdiction where it is illegal to offer the policy or to anyone to whom it is illegal to offer the policy.

This policy is subject to the law of the state in which the policy is issued. Some of the terms of the policy may differ from the terms of the policy delivered in another state because of state specific legal requirements. Areas where state-specific policy provisions may apply are:

Ÿ Certain investment options and certain policy features;

Ÿ Free look rights, including the length of the free look period and refund amounts;

Ÿ Premium taxes; and

Ÿ Fund transfer rights.

The policy provides life insurance protection. It is not a way to invest in mutual funds. Replacing any existing life insurance policy with this policy may not be to your advantage.

The policy:

Ÿ Is not a bank or credit union deposit or obligation.

Ÿ Is not FDIC or NCUA insured.

Ÿ Is not insured by any federal government agency.

Ÿ Is not guaranteed by any bank or credit union.

Ÿ May go down in value.

Summary of Benefits and Risks

The following is a summary of the benefits and risks of the policy. It is only a summary. Additional information on the policy’s benefits and risks can be found in the later sections of this prospectus.

Benefits of the Policy

DEATH BENEFIT	The primary benefit of your policy is life insurance coverage. While the policy is in force, a death benefit will be paid to the beneficiary when the insured dies.
CHOICE OF DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS	The policy offers four death benefit options. Each is the greater of the minimum death benefit, or: 1.  Level Option: The current face amount. 2.  Return of Account Value Option: The current face amount plus the account value of the policy. 3.  Return of Premium Option: The current face amount plus the total of the premiums that were paid, less any premiums refunded. 4.  Return of Separate Account Option: The  current face amount, plus the account value, minus the value of the guaranteed principal account in excess of the amount of any policy loan. The death benefit we pay will be reduced by any outstanding policy debt and any unpaid premium needed to avoid termination.
RIGHT TO RETURN THE POLICY	You have a limited period of time after the policy is delivered during which you can cancel the policy and receive a refund.
VARIABLE INVESTMENT CHOICES	The policy offers a choice of over 40 investment divisions within its Separate Account. Each division invests in shares of a designated investment fund.
GUARANTEED PRINCIPAL ACCOUNT	In addition to the above mentioned variable investment choices, you may also invest in the guaranteed principal account (GPA). Amounts allocated to the GPA are guaranteed and earn interest daily.
FLEXIBILITY	The policy is designed to be flexible to meet your specific life insurance needs. Within limitations, you can: Ÿ choose the timing, amount and frequency of premium payments; Ÿ change the death benefit option; Ÿ increase or decrease the policy’s face amount; Ÿ change the beneficiary; Ÿ change your investment selections.
TRANSFERS	You may transfer funds among the investment divisions and the guaranteed principal account. Limitations on transfers are described in the Summary of Risks table and in Policy Transactions sections of the prospectus. We also offer two automated transfer programs: Dollar Cost Averaging and Portfolio Rebalancing.
SURRENDERS AND WITHDRAWALS	You may surrender your policy and we will pay you its net surrender value. You may also withdraw a part of the net surrender value. A withdrawal reduces the policy values, may reduce the face amount of the policy and may increase the risk that the policy will lapse.
LOANS	You may take a loan on the policy. The policy secures the loan. Taking a loan may have adverse tax consequences and may cause your policy to lapse even if the guaranteed death benefit safety test is met.
SAFETY TEST	During defined periods of the policy, your policy will not terminate, regardless of its account value, as long as you have made the specified minimum premium payments, the guaranteed death benefit measure is positive, and the policy’s debt limit has not been exceeded.
ASSIGNABILITY	You may generally assign the policy as collateral for a loan or other obligation.
TAX BENEFITS	You are not generally taxed on the policy’s earnings until you withdraw account value from your policy. This is known as tax deferral.
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS	There are a number of additional benefits you may add to your policy by way of riders. The riders available with this policy are listed in the Other Benefits Available Under the Policy section.

Summary of Benefits and Risks

Risks of the Policy

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE	The value of your policy will fluctuate with the performance of the variable investment divisions you select. Your variable investment divisions may decline in value or they may not perform to your expectations. You bear the investment risk of any account value invested in your variable investment divisions.
SUITABILITY	Variable life insurance is designed to meet long-term financial goals. It is not suitable as a vehicle for short-term savings. You should not purchase the policy if you will need the premium payment in a short period of time. Short-term investment strategies may be restricted by the Company.
EARLY SURRENDER	If you surrender your policy you will generally be subject to surrender charges during the first 19 policy years and during the first 19 years after an increase in the policy’s face amount. Surrender charges are also known as “deferred sales loads”. The surrender charge will reduce the proceeds payable to you. In some situations, it is possible that there will be little or no value in the policy after the surrender charges are deducted. An early surrender can also result in adverse tax consequences.
WITHDRAWALS	A withdrawal will reduce your policy’s account value by the amount withdrawn, including the withdrawal fee. If the policy’s account value is reduced to a point where it cannot meet a monthly deduction your policy may terminate. A withdrawal may also reduce your policy’s face amount and may have adverse tax consequences.
TERMINATION	Your policy could terminate if the value of the policy becomes too low to support the policy’s monthly charges, it fails the guaranteed death benefit safety test, or it exceeds its debt limit. Before the policy terminates, however, you will receive a grace period during which you will be notified in writing that your coverage may terminate unless you pay additional premium.
LIMITATIONS ON ACCESS TO CASH VALUE	Ÿ Withdrawals are not available in the first policy year or after the insured’s attained age 99. (An insured’s “attained age” is equal to their issue age plus the number of completed policy years.) Ÿ A withdrawal reduces the policy values and may reduce the face amount of the policy. A withdrawal may have adverse tax consequences. Ÿ We may not allow a withdrawal if it would reduce the face amount to less than the policy’s minimum face amount. Ÿ The minimum withdrawal is $100, including the $25 withdrawal fee. Ÿ The maximum withdrawal is 75% of the net surrender value.
LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFERS	Ÿ Transfers from the guaranteed principal account are generally limited to one per policy year and may not exceed 25% of its non-loaned value. Ÿ We reserve the right to reject or restrict transfers if we determine the transfers reflect frequent trading or a market-timing strategy.
IMPACT OF LOANS	Taking a loan from your policy may increase the risk that your policy will terminate. If your policy exceeds the policy debt limit, it may terminate even if the GDB safety test is met. Taking a loan will have a permanent effect on the policy’s net surrender value and will reduce the death benefit paid. Also, policy termination with an outstanding loan can result in adverse tax consequences.
ADVERSE TAX CONSEQUENCES	Under certain circumstances (usually if your premium payments in the first seven years exceed specified limits), your policy may become a “modified endowment contract” (MEC). Under federal tax law, loans, withdrawals, and other pre-death distributions received from a MEC policy are taxed as income first and recovery of basis, second. Also, distributions includible in income received before you attain age 59 1/2, are subject to a 10% penalty tax. Existing tax laws that benefit this policy may change at any time.
ADDITIONAL RISKS	The type of investments that a fund company makes will also create risk. A comprehensive discussion of the risks of each of the funds underlying the divisions of the Separate Account may be found in that fund’s prospectus. You should read the fund’s prospectus carefully before investing.
IMPACT OF TRANSACTIONS ON GUARANTEED DEATH BENEFIT MEASURE AND GUARANTEED DEATH BENEFIT SAFETY TEST	If you choose to allocate premium payments or account value to the guaranteed principal account (GPA) in order to satisfy the guaranteed death benefit (GDB)* safety test, you should be aware that: Ÿ Policy transactions, such as transfers, withdrawals, and loans, from the GPA will have a negative impact on your GDB measure. Ÿ Changes to your policy that negatively affect the value of the GPA will also have a negative impact your GDB measure. These policy changes include, but are not limited to: face amount changes, death benefit option changes, premium payment frequency changes, and adding or terminating riders. If the change or transaction results in a reduction to the GDB measure, the premium required to satisfy the safety test may increase. Additionally, your policy may not meet the GDB safety test on the monthly charge date on which the change or transaction is effective. Therefore, before making a policy change or completing a policy transaction, you should be aware that doing so may put your policy at risk of early termination. You should contact your registered representative and request a new policy illustration that takes into account policy transactions or changes involving the GPA. *  The term “guaranteed death benefit” may vary in some jurisdictions. In some states it may be referred to as “no lapse”. For example, a policy may refer to the “no lapse measure” and “no lapse safety test” instead of the “guaranteed death benefit measure” and the “guaranteed death benefit safety test”.

2 For the initial face amount, the rates vary by the insured’s gender, issue age, risk classification, and by the year of coverage. For each increase in the face amount, the rates are based on the age, gender, and risk classification of the insured on the effective date of the increase. The surrender charge is shown in the policy’s Specifications Pages. The rates in this table may not be representative of the charge that a particular policy owner will pay. If you would like information on the surrender charge rates for your particular situation, you can request a personalized illustration from your financial representative or by calling the MassMutual Customer Service Center at 1-800-272-2216.

3 Under certain circumstances, the surrender charge may not apply when exchanging this policy for a qualifying non-variable life insurance policy offered by MassMutual or one of its subsidiaries. Please see the “Surrender Charges” section for more information.

4 Surrender charges generally apply for the first 19 years (14 years for policies issued in New York) of a segment’s coverage. They decrease each year and, in any year, will equal the first year’s surrender charge multiplied by the applicable coverage year factor listed in the following table.

1 The rates vary by the insured’s gender, issue age, and risk classification, and by the year of coverage. When your policy is issued, the band for the insurance charge is set based on your policy’s initial total face amount. For the purpose of determining what band your insurance charges will be calculated from, the policy’s initial total face amount includes the face amount for the base policy plus the face amount(s) of the Other Insured (when used for the base insured) and the Additional Insurance riders, if part of the policy when it is issued. The insurance charge band will not change for the life of the policy regardless of any future changes to the policy’s face amount. The rates may not be representative of the charge that a particular policy owner will pay. If you would like information on the insurance charge rates for your particular situation, you can request a personalized illustration from your financial representative or by calling the MassMutual Customer Service Center at 1-800-272-2216.

The insurance charge rates reflected in this table are for standard risks; the maximum insurance charges are based on the 1980 Commissioners Standard Ordinary (1980 CSO) Tables. Additional charges, if any, may be assessed for risks associated with certain health conditions, occupations or avocations.

Current insurance charge rates reflect a range of minimum and maximum rates. All other factors being equal, the actual rate charged for policies in Band 2 may be lower than the rate charged for policies in Band 1.

2 Monthly charges beyond the insured’s attained age 99 are zero.

3 The rates shown for the “representative insured” are first year rates only.

4 Maximum and current rates may vary in New York, but will not exceed the maximum rates shown. Please contact your registered representative for more information.

5 The asset charge is determined on each monthly charge date and is applied daily to the variable account value only. Maximum and current rates may vary in Maryland but will not exceed the maximum rates shown. Please contact your registered representative for more information.

6 The face amount charge for each segment is set at issue for the initial face amount and, for each increase, on the effective date of the increase. The rates will vary by the issue age of the insured for the initial face amount and, for increases, by the insured’s attained age on the effective date of the increase. Once set, however, the charge per $1000 of face amount remains constant during the segment’s first five coverage years, and then, in years six and beyond, it is zero. The range of face amount rates reflected for coverage years 1-5 simply accounts for the range of issue ages for all potential insureds.

7 The policy’s “monthly deduction” is the sum of the following current monthly charges: (a) administrative charge, (b) face amount charge, (c) insurance charge, and (d) any applicable rider charges.

8 The rates vary by the insured’s gender and age.

Fee Tables

11

1 The “Management Fee” is the investment advisory fee paid by the Portfolio or Fund to its investment adviser.

2 The fund’s advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of Series I Shares to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I Shares to 1.30% of average daily net assets for each series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds shown above. In determining the advisor’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses to exceed the limit stated above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items, (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the fund’s Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, the only expense offset arrangements from which the fund benefits are in the form of credits that the fund receives from banks where the fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the fund. The expense limitation is in effect through April 30, 2007.

3 Based on expenses incurred by the fund, as stated in the most recent shareholder report. The fund has a stepped fee schedule. As a result, the fund’s management fee rate generally decreases as fund assets increase.

4 The fund’s investment adviser is voluntarily waiving a portion of management fees. If this waiver were included, the management fees for the Asset Allocation Fund would have been 0.31%, and the total expenses would have been 0.57%; the management fees for the Growth-Income Fund would have been 0.25% and the total expenses would have been 0.52%.

5 Through May 31, 2006, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and reimburse or pay operating expenses of the fund to the extent necessary to maintain the fund’s operating expenses at 0.450%, excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage, interest, and organization and offering expenses.

In addition, from June 1, 2006, through September 30, 2006, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and reimburse or pay operating expenses of the fund to the extent necessary to maintain the fund’s operating expenses at ratios no higher than 0.483%, excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage, interest, and organization and offering expenses.

Restated on an annualized basis to reflect approved fee changes to take effect on or about June 1, 2006.

6 A portion of the brokerage commissions that the fund pays may be reimbursed and used to reduce the fund’s expenses. In addition, through arrangements with the fund’s custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce the fund’s custodian expenses. Including these reductions, the total class operating expenses would have been 0.64%. This offset may be discontinued at any time.

7 While the maximum amount payable under the fund’s class rule 12b-1 plan is 0.35% per year of the fund’s class average annual net assets, the fund’s Board of Trustees (Board) has set the current rate at 0.25% per year.

8 The fund’s manager has agreed in advance to reduce its fees with respect to assets invested by the fund in a Franklin Templeton Money Market Fund (the Sweep Money Fund). This reduction is required by the fund’s Board of Trustees (Board) and an exemptive order of the Securities and Exchange Commission. If all fee reductions were reflected, total net fund operating expenses would have been: 0.89% for the Franklin Small Cap Value Securities Fund (Class 2) and 1.02% for the Templeton Foreign Securities Fund (Class 2).

9 The Investment Adviser has entered into a fee reduction commitment for the fund which was implemented on a voluntary basis beginning July 1, 2005 and on a contractual basis as of the date of this prospectus: a reduction in the management fee (at an annual rate) of 0.75% for the first $1 billion; 0.68% for the next $ 1 billion; and 0.65% for over $2 billion of average daily net assets.

10 “Other Expenses” include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.04% of the average daily net assets of the fund plus all other ordinary expenses not detailed above.

11 The Investment Adviser has agreed to limit “Other Expenses” (excluding management fees, transfer agent fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage, litigation and indemnification costs, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses, exclusive of any offset arrangements) to the extent that such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, 0.11% of the fund’s average daily net assets. The Investment Adviser may cease or modify the expense limitation at its discretion at any time. If this occurs, “Other Expenses” and “Total Fund Operating Expenses” may increase without shareholder approval.

12 The fund’s annual operating expenses are based on actual expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

13 Because the 12b-1 fee is charged as an ongoing fee, over time the fee will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

14 Effective February 1, 2006, the Portfolio’s investment advisory fee rate changed from a fixed rate to a rate that adjusts upward or downward based upon the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark index. This change will not impact the investment advisory fee shown until February 1, 2007, when the performance adjustment takes effect. Details discussing the change are included in the Statement of Additional Information for the Portfolio.

15 Each series has an expense offset arrangement that reduces the series’ custodian fee based upon the amount of cash maintained by the series with its custodian and dividend disbursing agent and may have entered into brokerage arrangements that reduced or recaptured series’ expenses. Any such fee reductions are not reflected in this table. Had these fee reductions been taken into account, “Net Expenses” would be lower.

16 MassMutual has agreed to bear expenses of the MML Blend Fund, MML Emerging Growth Fund, MML Enhanced Index Core Equity Fund, MML Equity Fund, MML Growth Equity Fund, MML Inflation-Protected Bond Fund, MML Large Cap Value Fund, MML Managed Bond Fund, MML Money Market Fund, MML OTC 100 Fund, MML Small Cap Equity Fund, MML Small Cap Growth Equity Fund, and MML Small Company Opportunities Fund (other than the management fees, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) in excess of 0.11% of the average daily net asset values of the Funds through April 30, 2007. Such agreements cannot be terminated unilaterally by MassMutual. The expenses shown for MML Emerging Growth Fund, MML Enhanced Index Core Equity Fund, MML Growth Equity Fund, MML OTC 100 Fund and MML Small Cap Growth Equity Fund do not include this reimbursement. If this table did reflect these reimbursements, the Total Net Operating Expenses would be 1.16%, 0.66%, 0.91%, 0.56%, and 1.18%, respectively. We did not reimburse any expenses of the MML Blend Fund, MML Equity Fund, MML Inflation-Protected Bond Fund, MML Large Cap Value Fund, MML Managed Bond Fund, MML Money Market Fund, MML Small Cap Equity Fund, and MML Small Company Opportunities Fund in 2005.

17 MassMutual has agreed to bear the expenses (other than the management and administrative fees, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) in excess of 0.05% of the average daily net asset values through April 30, 2007. Such agreements cannot be terminated unilaterally by MassMutual. In addition, MassMutual has agreed to waive certain administrative and shareholder service fees payable by the Fund on account of Class II. If this table had reflected these waivers, the Total Net Operating Expenses would have been 0.29%.

18 The T. Rowe Price Mid-Cap Growth Portfolio is unavailable for contracts issued on May 1, 2004, or later.

19 Prior to February 6, 2006, known as Scudder VIT Small Cap Index Fund.

20 Prior to May 1, 2006, known as Oppenheimer Aggressive Growth Fund/VA.

The Company

Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (“MassMutual”) is a diversified financial services company providing life insurance, long-term care insurance, annuities, disability income insurance, structured settlements, retirement and other products to individual and institutional customers. MassMutual is organized as a mutual life insurance company.

In this prospectus we will also refer to MassMutual as “we”, “us”, or “our”.

MassMutual’s home office is located at 1295 State Street, Springfield, Massachusetts 01111-0001.

The VUL Guard^SM Policy

General Overview

The policy is a contract between you (the owner) and MassMutual. In exchange for your premium payments, we agree to pay a death benefit to the beneficiary when the insured dies.

The policy provides premium payment and death benefit flexibility. It permits you to vary the frequency and amount of premium payments and to increase or decrease the policy’s face amount. The policy also offers you a choice of four death benefit options and you can, within limitations, change your death benefit option. You cannot, however, change the death benefit option after the insured’s attained age 99. This flexibility allows you to meet changing insurance needs under a single life insurance policy.

Generally, you are not taxed on policy earnings until you take money out of the policy. In most cases, you will not be taxed on the amounts you take out until the total of all your withdrawals exceeds the amount of all your premium payments. This is known as tax deferral.

The policy is called variable life insurance because you can choose to allocate your net premium payments among various investment choices. Your choices include the funds listed in this prospectus and a guaranteed principal account (GPA). Your policy value and the amount of the death benefit we pay may vary due to a number of factors including, but not limited to, the investment performance of the funds you select, the interest we credit on the GPA, and the death benefit option you select.

When the insured dies, if the policy is in force, we will pay the beneficiary a death benefit. The policy offers a number of death benefit payment methods.

Your life insurance policy provides coverage for as long as the policy has sufficient account value. It does not “mature” or provide an endowment in a specific policy year as some traditional life insurance policies do.

This prospectus describes the policy. Since it is not intended to address all situations, the actual provisions of your policy will control. You should consult your policy for more information about its terms and conditions, and for any state-specific variances that may apply to your policy.

The Company/The VUL Guard^SM Policy

Owner, Insured, Beneficiary

Owner

You name the owner in the application, however, the owner may be changed while the policy is in force, therefore, the owner is the person we have listed as such in our records. The owner is the person who will generally make the choices that determine how the policy operates while it is in force. When we use the terms “you” or “your”, in this prospectus, we are referring to the owner.

The sale of your policy to an unrelated investor, sometimes called a viatical company, in a “life settlement” typically has high transaction costs that may significantly reduce the value of your estate. Discuss the benefits and risks of selling your life insurance policy with your registered representative and estate planner before you enter into a life settlement.

Insured

The insured is the person on whose life the policy is issued. The policy owner must have an insurable interest in the life of the insured in order for the policy to be valid under state law and for the policy to be considered life insurance for income tax purposes. If the policy does not comply with the insurable interest requirements of the issue state at the time of issue, the policy may be deemed void from the beginning. As a result, the policy would not provide the intended benefits. It is the responsibility of the policy owner to determine whether proper insurable interest exists at the time of policy issuance.

You name the insured in the application for the policy. We will not issue a policy for an insured who is age 81 or older or age 71 or older if death benefit option 3 is selected. Before issuing a policy, we will require evidence to determine the insurability of the insured. This will usually require a medical examination.

Beneficiary

The beneficiary is the person you name in the application to receive any death benefit. You may name different classes of beneficiaries, such as primary and secondary. These classes will set the order of payment. There may be more than one beneficiary in a class.

Unless an irrevocable beneficiary has been named or an assignment is in effect, you can change the beneficiary at any time before the insured dies by sending a written request to our Administrative Office. The owner must have the consent of an irrevocable beneficiary or assignee to change the beneficiary. Generally, the change will take effect as of the date your request is signed.

If no beneficiary is living when the insured dies, unless you have given us different instructions, we will pay you the death benefit. If you are deceased, it will be paid to your estate.

Purchasing a Policy and Your Right to Cancel

Purchasing a Policy

To purchase a policy you must send us a completed application. The minimum initial face amount of a policy is currently $50,000. The owner selects, within our limits, the policy’s “face amount”. It is used to determine the amount of insurance coverage the policy provides while it is in force. The “initial face amount” is the face amount on the policy date. It will be listed on the first page of your policy.

We determine whether to accept or reject the application for the policy and the insured’s risk classification. Coverage under the policy becomes effective on the date all of the necessary requirements are received, in good order, at our Administrative Office. However, if we have not received the amount required to pay the first premium and any subsequent premiums already due, and all documents necessary to process the premium by the issue date, coverage will not begin until the date those items are received, in good order, at our Administrative Office.

“Good order” means that all the necessary documents and forms are complete and in our possession.

Policies generally are issued with values that vary based on the gender of the insured. In some situations, however, we may issue unisex policies. That is, policies whose values do not vary by the gender of the insured. Policies issued in Montana are unisex and policies issued as part of an employee benefit plan may be unisex. References in this prospectus to sex-distinct policy values are not applicable to unisex policies.

Your Right to a “Free Look”

You have the right to cancel the policy, generally, within 10 days of receiving it (“free look”). If you cancel the policy, we will issue a refund. The state in which the policy is issued determines the free look period and the type of refund that applies. You should refer to your policy for details. However, the following will give you a general idea of the type of refund you may receive.

Most states require us to refund the policy’s account value less any policy debt. Other states require us to refund the premium paid less withdrawals and debt. In a few states, we are required to refund your full premium. In those states your premium payment is held in the Guaranteed Principal Account during the free look period.

Additionally, under certain circumstances such as mistake of fact, we may reissue your policy with different features after the free look period expires. Please contact your registered representative for details if you feel your policy should be reissued.

To cancel the policy, return it to us at our Administrative Office, to the registered representative who sold the policy, or to one of our agency offices.

Replacements

A “replacement” occurs when a new policy or contract is purchased and, in connection with the sale, an existing policy or contract is surrendered, lapsed, forfeited, assigned to the replacing insurer, otherwise terminated, or used in a financial purchase. A “financial purchase” occurs when the purchase of a new life insurance policy or annuity contract involves the use of funds obtained from the values of an existing life insurance policy or annuity contract through withdrawal, surrender, or loan.

There are circumstances in which replacing your existing life insurance policy or annuity contract can benefit you. As a general rule, however, replacement is not in your best interest. Accordingly, you should make a careful comparison of the costs and benefits of your existing policy or contract and the proposed policy or contract to determine whether replacement is in your best interest.

You should also note that once you have replaced your variable life insurance policy or annuity contract, you generally cannot reinstate it even if you choose not to accept your new variable life insurance policy or annuity contract during your “free look” period. The only exception to this rule would be if you live in a state that requires the insurer to reinstate the previously surrendered policy or contract if the owner chooses to reject their new variable life insurance policy or annuity contract during the “free look” period.

Premiums

The planned premium amount you pay is based on a number of factors including, but not limited to:

Ÿ face amount;

Ÿ the insured’s gender;

Ÿ the insured’s issue age;

Ÿ the insured’s risk classification;

Ÿ policy charges;

Ÿ the death benefit option; and

Ÿ whether or not any riders apply to the policy.

Premium Payments and Payment Plans

Generally, you will give your first premium payment to the registered representative who sold you the policy. You should note, however, that premium payments are not applied to your policy until they are received, in good order, at our Administrative Office.

If you or the premium payor receive a single bill for multiple insurance policies, subsequent premium payments for VUL Guard should be sent to:

MassMutual Financial Group

APM Payment Processing Center

PO Box 92483

Chicago, IL 60675-2483

For all other policies, subsequent premium payments for VUL Guard should be sent to the appropriate following lockbox addresses:

Regular Mail:

MassMutual

PO Box 92483

Chicago, IL 60675-2483

Overnight Mail:

MassMutual

350 North Orleans Street

Receipt & Dispatch 8th Floor

Lockbox 92483

Chicago, IL 60654

Subsequent premium payments should not be sent to our Administrative Office. They should be sent to the appropriate lockbox. Premium payments sent to an incorrect lockbox will be considered not in good order. We will reroute the payment and apply it on the valuation date when it is received at the correct lockbox and is determined to be in good order.

You may also make premium payments by wire transfer. For instructions on how to make a premium payment by wire transfer, please call our Administrative Office at 1-800-272-2216.

First Premium

Generally, you determine the first premium you want to pay for the policy, but it must be at least equal to the minimum initial premium. The minimum initial premium depends on:

Ÿ your chosen premium frequency;

Ÿ the policy’s initial face amount and death benefit option;

Ÿ the issue age, gender, and risk classification of the insured; and

Ÿ any riders on the policy.

Planned Premiums

When applying for the policy, you select (within the policy limitations) the planned premium and payment frequency (annual, semiannual, quarterly, or monthly check service). We will send you premium notices based on your selections.

To change the amount and frequency of planned premiums, send a request to us at our Administrative Office, or call our Administrative Office at 1-800-272-2216. Changing the amount and/or frequency of planned premiums can, however, have a negative impact on the policy.

If you change the frequency of your planned premiums, your policy may be at risk of lapsing because we do not bill for fractional payment periods.

Premiums

16

Example:

Your policy anniversary is on January 1 and you make planned quarterly premium payments. We have been sending you a bill each quarter for the applicable premium. In June you notify us that you want to change your planned premium from quarterly payments to annual payments. In this situation, we would have sent you bills for the first and second quarterly payments of that year. After receiving your notification, however, we would not send you a bill for the last two quarterly payments of that year. We will send your next bill out on the following policy anniversary date (January 1). If you choose not to make a premium payment between July and January 1, your policy may lapse before you receive your next bill. For more information on what happens if your policy lapses, please read the section titled Policy Termination and Reinstatement.

Additionally, if you choose a guaranteed death benefit, you must allocate a specific amount of the planned premium to the GPA according to a pre-determined payment schedule. These premium allocations to the GPA are called the GDB premium. If you do not make your GDB premium payments in accordance with the pre-determined payment schedule or if any payment results in an insufficient amount being allocated to the GPA, the GDB premium will increase. You can make additional premium payments to make up for the GDB premium shortfall, however, you must clearly identify the purpose of the payment or we will consider it a regular premium payment. As such, it will be allocated according to your current premium allocation instructions and the GDB premium will remain at the increased amount.

As noted above, changes to the timing and frequency of premium payments can impact the ongoing premium necessary to guarantee this policy will not lapse under the guarantee death benefit safety test. For example, changing your premium mode from annual to monthly will result in a change to the amount deposited in the GPA that is necessary to satisfy the guaranteed death benefit safety test. However, if the guaranteed death benefit safety test is met, lapse is prevented unless the policy exceeds its debt limit. Any change in the net premium amount you must deposit to the GPA necessary to meet the GDB Safety Test will be reflected on your quarterly statement in the event you made such a change.

If you do not choose a guaranteed death benefit, and a planned premium is not made, the policy will not necessarily terminate. But making planned premium payments does not, by itself, guarantee the policy will remain in force.

Premium Payment Plan

You may elect to pay premiums by pre-authorized check. Under this procedure, we automatically deduct premium payments each month from a bank account you designate. We will not send a bill for these automatic payments. You can discontinue this service by contacting our Administrative Office.

Before making any changes to the timing or frequency of premium payments, you should speak with your registered representative to determine the impact on your policy.

Notification of account changes must be received at our Administrative Office prior to 15 days before the next draft. Withdrawals from your bank account will be made on the 28th of each month unless you specify another date. We may automatically switch you to quarterly payments if (1) your policy has insufficient value to cover the monthly charges due and your elected premium is below the current monthly deductions or (2) we are unable to obtain the premium payment from your bank account. A change in premium payment timing may negatively impact the amount necessary to deposit into the GPA to satisfy the GDB Safety Test.

You may also pay premiums from your existing Oppenheimer Money Market account provided the fund participates in the “Oppenheimer Automatic Insurance Premium Payment Plan”. Through this service, we automatically deduct premium payments from the Oppenheimer account you designate.

You should note that we cannot apply premium to your policy until 10 business days after your investment into the Oppenheimer account. For example, if you allocated funds to the Oppenheimer account on February 1st, the premium cannot be applied to your policy until February 11th regardless of when the premium is due. Withdrawals from your Oppenheimer account will be made on the 28th of each month unless you specify another date.

You can make changes to the Oppenheimer Automatic Insurance Premium Payment Plan by

Oppenheimer Funds, Inc. is an indirect subsidiary of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company. Participating in the Oppenheimer Automatic Insurance Premium Payment Plan or purchasing an Oppenheimer investment is not an issue requirement for any life insurance policy or any other insurance policy issued by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company or one of its subsidiaries or affiliates. Refer to your Oppenheimer Money Market Prospectus for the risks and benefits of your Money Market account.

Premium Flexibility

After you have paid the first premium, within limits you may pay any amount at any time while the insured is living. Although you must maintain sufficient account value to keep the policy in force, there is no required schedule for premium payments. You may, however, elect to set-up a “Planned Premium” payment plan. Premium payment plans are discussed above in the Premium Payments and Payment Plans section.

We reserve the right to return any premium payment under $20.

In some cases, applying a subsequent premium payment in a policy year could result in your policy becoming a modified endowment contract (MEC). Generally, we will apply to your policy the part of the premium that will not cause it to become a MEC and we will refund the balance to you. Additionally, we will follow these procedures:

Ÿ If we receive a subsequent premium payment greater than 21 calendar days prior to the Policy Anniversary Date the premium payment will be considered not in good order. We will credit only that part of the premium payment to the policy that will not cause the policy to become a MEC, unless you’ve previously notified us in writing that you want your policy to become a MEC. We will return the remaining portion of the payment to the premium payer. In addition, the payment frequency may be changed to annual to prevent subsequent premium bills from being produced prior to the next policy anniversary date.

Ÿ If we receive a subsequent premium payment for a planned premium due greater than 10 but less than 22 calendar days prior to the policy anniversary date, the premium payment will be considered not in good order. We will hold the payment and send a written notice to the owner requesting instructions on how to apply the payment. If the owner does not respond within 10 business days we will credit the policy with the portion of the payment that will not cause the policy to become a MEC and return the balance of the payment to the premium payer. The premium will be credited on the Valuation Date immediately following the 10th business day after receipt of the premium payment. If the owner responds within 10 business days and requests that the policy become a MEC, the premium payment will be applied on the date we receive the instructions in good order. If the owner responds and does not want the policy to become a MEC, we will apply the portion of the payment that will not cause the policy to become a MEC on the date we receive the instructions in good order and return the balance of the payment to the premium payer.

Ÿ If we receive a subsequent premium payment within 10 calendar days prior to the policy anniversary date, the premium payment will be considered not in good order. We will hold the payment and credit it to the policy on the policy anniversary date. If the policy anniversary date is not a Valuation Date, the payment will then be credited on the next Valuation Date following the policy anniversary. The owner will be notified of our action after the premium payment has been credited.

These procedures may not apply if there has been a material change to your policy that impacts the 7-pay limit or 7-pay period because the start of the 7-pay year may no longer coincide with your policy anniversary.

Premium Limitations

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) has limits on the amount of money you may put into a life insurance contract and still meet the definition of life insurance for tax purposes. There are two tests

Premiums

18

under the IRC rules that are used to determine if a policy meets their guidelines:

Ÿ the Cash Value Accumulation Test, and

Ÿ the Guideline Premium Test.

If you choose the Cash Value Accumulation Test, the maximum premium you can pay each policy year is the greatest of:

(a) an amount equal to $100 plus double the premium expense factor for the policy;

(b) the amount of premium paid in the preceding policy year; or

(c) the highest premium payment amount that would not increase the insurance risk.

If you choose the Guideline Premium Test, the maximum premium for each policy year is the lesser of:

(a) the maximum premium for the Cash Value Accumulation Test; or

(b) the Guideline Premium Test amount which will be stated in the policy.

We may refund any amount of premium payment that exceeds the limit under the test you have chosen for your policy. If we did not refund the excess premium, the policy may no longer qualify as life insurance under federal tax law.

If we receive a subsequent premium payment within 21 calendar days prior to the policy anniversary date, the premium payment will be considered not in good order. We will hold the payment and credit only that part of the premium payment to the policy that will not exceed the limit under the life insurance test you have chosen for your policy. The payment will be credited to the policy on the policy anniversary date. If the policy anniversary date is not a Valuation Date, the payment will then be credited on the next Valuation Date following the policy anniversary. We will return the remaining payment that we cannot apply. The premium payer will be notified of our action after the premium payment has been credited.

For more information on these tests, please read the “Minimum Death Benefit” section.

How and When Your Premium

is Allocated

Net Premium

Net premium is a premium payment received in good order and accepted by us minus the premium expense charge.

Premiums that cause the policy to be a MEC may not be considered to be in good order, depending on when they are received.

The net premium is allocated among the divisions of the Separate Account and the guaranteed principal account according to your current instructions on our Net Premium Allocation Request form.

Net Premium Allocation

When applying for the policy, you indicate how you want net premiums allocated among the divisions and the guaranteed principal account. You must set your net premium allocation in terms of whole-number percentages that add up to 100%. Or, you can specify a dollar amount for the GPA and allocate the balance to your selected funds by percentages totaling 100%.

Example:

Assume your current premium allocation instructions state that $100 of your net premiums should be allocated to the GPA and any amount in excess of $100 is to be allocated evenly to the GPA, the MML Blend Fund, the MML Equity Fund, and the Oppenheimer Strategic Bond Fund/VA. Also assume you send in a premium payment that results in a net premium of $400. In this situation, $175 is credited to the GPA ($100 plus ¼ of amount in excess of $100), $75 is credited to the MML Blend Fund, $75 is credited to the MML Equity Fund, and $75 is credited to the Oppenheimer Strategic Bond Fund/VA.

If you have allocated a specific dollar amount to the GPA, we will allocate that dollar amount first and then allocate any remaining net premium based on the percentage allocation. If you have allocated a specific dollar amount to the GPA and we receive a premium such that the net premium is less than that dollar amount, we will allocate the entire net premium to the GPA.

Premiums

19

Example:

Assume your current premium allocation instructions state that $100 of your net premiums should be allocated to the GPA and any amount in excess of $100 is to be allocated evenly to the GPA, the MML Blend Fund, the MML Equity Fund, and the Oppenheimer Strategic Bond Fund/VA. Also assume you send in a premium payment that results in a net premium of $90. In this situation, the entire $90 is credited to the GPA and nothing will be credited to any of the other funds in your net premium allocation instructions.

You may change your net premium allocation at any time by sending a Net Premium Allocation Request form to us at our Administrative Office. You may also change your net premium allocation by telephone, facsimile transmission, or through our website, subject to certain restrictions. We may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. Therefore, we will take reasonable steps to confirm that instructions given to us by telephone are genuine. We may tape record all telephone instructions.

The request to change your net premium allocation will become effective on the valuation date we receive your request, in good order, at our Administrative Office. If we receive your request in good order on a non-valuation date or after the close of a valuation date, the change will become effective on the next valuation date.

When Net Premium Is Allocated

The policy date, issue date, and register date of your policy may affect the allocation of your net premiums. This, in turn, can affect the investment earnings and interest credited on your policy account value.

The “issue date” is the date we actually issue the policy. The “policy date” normally is the same date as the issue date. Additionally, the policy date will determine the amount of premium required for your premium to be considered in good order.

The “register date” is the first date premiums will be allocated. We set the register date depending on the type of refund offered under your policy’s right to return provision. The register date must also be a valuation date.

Allocation of Initial and Subsequent Net Premiums. We will allocate any net premiums received on or before the register date of the policy to our general investment account. We do not pay interest on these amounts.

It should be noted, however, that your minimum initial premium may change from the amount that was originally quoted.

If, for any reason, your initial net premium payment is insufficient, your payment will not be considered in good order. We will hold the payment in our general investment account and contact you to advise you of the new minimum initial premium amount. We do not pay interest on these amounts and you will have to pay the balance before we will consider your initial premium payment in good order.

These amounts will be allocated among the divisions and the guaranteed principal account according to your net premium allocation instructions on the register date.

However, if your premium allocation instructions indicate that a specific dollar amount of each net premium should be deposited to the GPA, we will allocate your policy’s value as follows:

(a) We will determine the number of premium payments that would have been made, according to the premium payment frequency you have chosen, between the policy date and the day before the register date,

(b) We will multiply the dollar amount you have instructed us to allocate to the GPA by the number of premium payments determined in (a) above,

(c) We will deposit that amount to the GPA, and

(d) We will allocate the remaining amount according to your current premium percentage allocation instructions, excluding any specific dollar amount allocated to the GPA.

Premiums

20

Example:

The register date is five months later than the policy date. You have elected to pay premiums quarterly, therefore, according to your planned premium payment frequency, two payments would have been made. Your premium allocation instructions state that $100 should be allocated to the GPA and the remaining amount should be allocated equally between the GPA and the MML Blend Fund. Your net premiums are deposited to the general investment account and on the register date the total amount to be allocated is $500.

In this situation, we would allocate $350 to the GPA ($100 x 2 payments, plus $150 which is  ¹/2 of the remaining amount to be allocated) and $150 to the MML Blend Fund.

If your state of issue requires us to refund the policy’s account value less any policy debt, the register date is the valuation date that is on the latest of:

a. the day after the issue date of the policy,

b. the date we or the appropriate lockbox receives the balance of your initial premium; or

c. the date the policy delivery requirements are received, in good order, at our Administrative Office.

If your state of issue requires us to refund either your full premium, or the premium you paid less withdrawals and less debt:

1. The register date is the valuation date that is on the latest of:

a. the number of days from issue required by each contract state’s free look period plus six days; or

b. the date we or the appropriate lockbox receives the balance of your initial premium; or

c. the date the policy delivery requirements are received, in good order, at our Administrative Office.

2. We will allocate existing values, held as of the policy’s issue date, to the guaranteed principal account on the first valuation date after the issue date. (The existing values at this time would be any money taken with the application for the policy less any applicable charges.); and

3. We will allocate any net premiums received after the issue date but before the register date to the guaranteed principal account.

If, for any reason, your initial net premium payment is in excess of the required minimum initial premium, we will allocate the full amount according to your current net premium allocation instructions.

We will apply your subsequent premium payments that are received on or after the register date, on the valuation date we receive them, in good order, at our Administrative Office or at the address shown on the premium notice. Subsequent premium payments will be applied in accordance with your premium allocation instructions. If we receive your subsequent premium payment, in good order on a non-valuation date or after the close of a valuation date, we will apply your payment on the next valuation date.

A “valuation date” is any day on which the net asset value of the units of each division of the Separate Account is determined. Generally, this will be any date on which the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), or its successor, is open for trading. Our valuation date ends when the NYSE closes. This is usually at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

The Separate Account

The Company’s assets are held in its general investment account. The general investment account is not registered under federal or state securities laws and, subject to applicable law, the Company has sole discretion over the assets in its general investment account.

The part of your premium that you invest in your policy’s variable investment divisions, however, is held in an account that is separate from the general assets of the Company. This account is called the Massachusetts Mutual Variable Life Separate Account I. In this prospectus we will refer to it simply as the “Separate Account”. The Company owns the assets in the Separate Account.

We established the Separate Account on July 13, 1988, according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We registered it with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

The Separate Account exists to keep your life insurance assets separate from our other company assets. As such, any income, gains, or losses credited to, or charged against, the Separate Account reflect only the Separate Account’s own investment experience. At no time will the Separate Account reflect the investment experience of the Company’s other assets.

We may not use the assets in the Separate Account to pay any liabilities of the Company other than those arising from the VUL Guard^SM policies. We may, however, transfer to our general investment account any assets that exceed anticipated obligations of the Separate Account. We are required to pay, from our general assets, if necessary, all amounts promised under the VUL Guard^SM policies.

We have established a segment within the Separate Account to receive and invest premium payments for the VUL Guard^SM policies. When we talk about the Separate Account in this prospectus, we are specifically referring to the VUL Guard^SM segment of the Separate Account.

Currently, the VUL Guard^SM segment of the Separate Account is divided into over 40 divisions. Each “division” purchases shares in a corresponding fund. The underlying funds are listed in the next section.

Some of the underlying funds offered are similar to mutual funds offered in the retail marketplace. They may have the same investment objectives and portfolio managers as the retail funds. The funds offered in the VUL Guard^SM policy, however, are set up exclusively for variable annuity and variable life insurance products. Their shares are not offered for sale to the general public and their performance results will differ from the performance of the retail funds.

Policy owners do not invest directly into the underlying funds. Instead, they invest in the Separate Account divisions which then purchase shares of the corresponding underlying fund. The Separate Account owns the fund shares, the Company owns the Separate Account.

Underlying Funds

Following is a table listing the investment funds in which the divisions of the Separate Account invest, information on each fund’s adviser and sub-adviser, if applicable, as well as the investment objective of the fund being offered. More detailed information concerning the funds and their investment objectives, strategies, policies, risks and expenses is contained in each fund’s prospectuses. A copy of each underlying fund’s prospectus is attached to this prospectus.

Compensation We Receive From Funds and Advisers

Compensation We Receive From Advisers

We and certain of our insurance affiliates receive compensation from the advisers to some of the funds. We receive this compensation for making those funds available as investment choices within both this policy and other variable annuity and variable life insurance products issued by us and our affiliates (“MassMutual’s variable policies”), and in some cases, for providing administrative services (such as preparing shareholder communications and recordkeeping) to those funds or the fund’s adviser. The amount of this compensation is determined by multiplying a specified annual percentage rate by the average net assets held in that fund that are attributable to MassMutual’s variable policies. These percentage rates differ, but currently do not exceed 0.30%. Some advisers pay us more than others; some advisers do not pay us any such compensation.

This compensation is not reflected in the expenses that are disclosed in the Table of Fees and Expenses—Annual Fund Operating Expenses for the funds because this compensation is not paid out of the funds’ assets. Please visit massmutual.com/compensation or call (800) 272-2216 for a list of the funds whose advisers currently pay such compensation.

In addition, we may receive fixed dollar payments from the advisers to certain funds so that the adviser can participate in sales meetings conducted by MassMutual. Attending such meetings provides advisers with opportunities to discuss and promote their funds.

Compensation We Receive From Funds

We and certain of our affiliates also receive compensation from certain funds pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. This compensation is paid out of the fund’s assets and may be as much as 0.25% of the average net assets of an underlying fund which are attributable to MassMutual’s variable policies. This compensation is specified as 12b-1 fees in the Table of Fees and Expenses—Annual Fund Operating Expenses. An investment in a fund with a 12b-1 fee will increase the cost of your investment in this policy.

Compensation In General

The compensation (as described above) that we receive may be significant. We benefit from this compensation, and may use it for any corporate purpose, including paying expenses that we incur in promoting, issuing, distributing and administering the policy. Additionally, we consider the amount of compensation that we receive from the funds, their advisers, or their distributors along with the funds’ name recognition, asset class, the manager’s reputation, and performance when selecting the funds that will be available with MassMutual’s variable policies.

Premium and account value allocated to the guaranteed principal account (GPA) become part of the general investment account of the Company, which supports life insurance and annuity obligations.

We have not registered the general investment account under the Securities Act of 1933 nor under the Investment Company Act of 1940 in reliance upon certain exemptions and exclusions in those laws. We have been advised that the Securities and Exchange Commission has not reviewed the disclosures in this prospectus that relate to the GPA or the general investment account. Those disclosures, however, may be subject to certain provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in the prospectus.

The assets in the VUL Guard Separate Account or our other separate accounts are not part of our general investment account. Subject to applicable law, we have sole discretion over the investment of assets in our general investment account.

You do not participate in the investment performance of the assets in our general investment account. Instead, we guarantee that amounts allocated to the GPA, in excess of policy debt, will earn interest at a minimum rate of 3% per year.

For amounts in the GPA equal to any policy debt, the guaranteed minimum interest rate per year is the greater of:

Ÿ 3%, and

Ÿ the policy loan rate less the maximum loan interest rate expense charge.

We may credit a higher rate of interest at our discretion.

It is important to note that any policy changes or transactions that impact the non-loaned GPA value may have an impact on whether or not your policy meets the guaranteed death benefit safety test.

Policy Value

How The Value of Your Policy is Calculated

The value of your policy is called its “account value”. The account value has two components:

1. the variable account value, and

2. the fixed account value.

We will calculate your policy value on each valuation date.

Variable Account Value

Transactions in your variable divisions are all reflected through the purchase and sale of “accumulation units”. For instance, before we invest your net premium payment in a division, we convert your net premium payment into accumulation units and then purchase an appropriate number of shares in the designated fund.

The variable account value is the sum of your values in each of the divisions of the Separate Account. It reflects:

Ÿ net premiums allocated to the Separate Account;

Ÿ transfers to the Separate Account from the guaranteed principal account;

Ÿ transfers and withdrawals from the Separate Account;

Ÿ fees and charges deducted from the Separate Account;

Ÿ the net investment experience of the Separate Account; and

Ÿ loans deducted from the Separate Account.

Net Investment Experience. The net investment experience of the variable account value is reflected in the value of the accumulation units.

Every valuation date we determine the value of an accumulation unit for each of the Separate Account divisions. Changes in the accumulation unit value reflect the investment performance of the fund as well as deductions for the asset charge, and fund expenses.

The value of an accumulation unit may go up or down from valuation date to valuation date.

When you make a premium payment, we credit your policy with accumulation units. We determine the number of accumulation units to credit by dividing the amount of the net premium payment allocated to a division by the unit value for that Separate Account division. When you make a withdrawal, we deduct accumulation units representing the withdrawal amount from your policy. We deduct accumulation units for insurance and other policy charges.

We calculate the value of an accumulation unit for each division at the close of each valuation date. Any change in the accumulation unit value will be reflected in your policy’s account value.

Fixed Account Value

The fixed account value is the accumulation of:

Ÿ net premiums allocated to the guaranteed principal account (GPA); plus

Ÿ amounts transferred into the GPA; minus

Ÿ amounts transferred or withdrawn from the GPA; minus

Ÿ monthly charges and surrender charges deducted from the GPA; plus

Ÿ interest credited to the GPA.

Interest on the Fixed Account Value

The fixed account value earns interest at an effective annual rate, credited daily.

For the part of the fixed account value equal to any policy loan, the daily rate we use is the daily equivalent of:

Ÿ the annual credited loan interest rate minus the current loan interest rate expense charge; or

Ÿ 3%, if greater.

For the part of the fixed account in excess of any policy loan, the daily rate we use is the daily equivalent of:

Ÿ the current interest rate we declare; or

Ÿ the guaranteed interest rate of 3%, if greater.

Policy Termination and Reinstatement

This policy offers a secondary, no-lapse death benefit guarantee that is explained later in this section. If you do not select the guaranteed death benefit feature, however, the policy will not necessarily terminate if you do not make the planned premium payment. Alternatively, if you do not select the guaranteed death benefit feature, making planned premium payments does not guarantee that the policy will remain in force. If the policy does terminate, you may be permitted to reinstate it.

Policy termination could have adverse tax consequences for you. To avoid policy termination and potential tax consequences in these situations, you may need to make substantial premium payments or loan repayments to keep your policy in force. For more information on the effect of policy termination, refer to the Federal Income Tax Considerations section.

Policy Termination

On each monthly charge date we test to determine whether or not your policy has enough value to remain in-force.

In determining whether or not your policy will stay in force, we first establish whether or not you have a loan outstanding on the policy.

1. If there is a loan outstanding on the policy:

a. we calculate whether or not the policy has reached its debt limit. (The policy debt limit is defined below.) If the policy debt limit is reached, your policy will enter the grace period.

b. if the policy debt limit is not reached, we then test to determine if there is enough value to pay the charges due. If the account value less surrender charges and less the policy loan is equal to or greater than the charges due, the policy will not enter the grace period.

Your “policy debt limit” is reached when total policy debt (which includes accrued interest) exceeds:

Ÿ the account value less surrender charges, if the GDB safety test has not been met, or

Ÿ the account value, if the GDB safety test has been met.

2. If there is not a loan outstanding on the policy:

Your policy will not enter the grace period as long as your policy’s account value is equal to or greater than the charges due.

Even if your policy fails to meet the applicable test under 1b or 2, your policy has a secondary guarantee unless the policy debt limit has been reached. This secondary guarantee is called the guaranteed death benefit (GDB) safety test. (The term “guaranteed death benefit” may vary in some jurisdictions. In some states it may be referred to as “no lapse”. For example, a policy may refer to the “no lapse measure” and “no lapse safety test” instead of the “guaranteed death benefit measure” and the “guaranteed death benefit safety test”.)

The GDB safety test is a secondary, no-lapse guarantee that allows the policy to remain in-force even if the policy does not have enough value to pay any deductions. If your policy exceeds its debt limit, however, it will enter the grace period as described in item 1 of this section, whether or not the safety test is met. In this situation, your account value equal to any policy debt and any applicable surrender charges will be forfeited.

Please note, if you pay only the minimum premiums needed to meet the GDB safety test, your policy will have a lower net surrender value than if you pay higher premiums; it may be possible that your policy will not develop any net surrender value for some time.

Guaranteed Death Benefit (GDB) Safety Test

In general, the GDB safety test is met if, on a monthly charge date, the GDB measure is positive. Additionally, during your policy’s “initial no-lapse guarantee period”, the safety test has a minimum premium requirement.

The GDB measure is a reference measure that is used only in determining whether or not your policy’s secondary guarantee, the GDB safety test, is met. The GDB measure is calculated almost identically to your policy’s non-loaned fixed account value but will not normally equal your policy’s non-loaned fixed account value.

The minimum premium requirement is met if (a) is greater than or equal to (b) where:

(a) is all of the premiums paid into the policy since inception, and not refunded or withdrawn, accumulated at 3% interest, and less any policy debt; and

Policy Value

32

(b) is the accumulation at 3% of all the minimum premiums.

Subject to state availability, your policy’s initial no-lapse guarantee period is generally the first 20 policy years or, if earlier, to the insured’s attained age 90.

If the GDB safety test is met and your policy does not have enough value to pay the monthly charges due, then the monthly charges may be reduced and your policy will remain in force.

It is important to note that only premium payments allocated to the guaranteed principal account (“GPA”), and account value transferred into or out of the GPA are considered in determining whether the GDB safety test is met. Therefore, policy transactions such as transfers, withdrawals, and loans, and other changes to your policy that affect your value in the GPA will also impact your policy’s ability to meet the GDB safety test. These policy changes include but are not limited to: face amount changes, death benefit option changes, premium payment frequency changes, adding or terminating riders, and having a sub-standard rating reduced or removed.

If the change or transaction results in a reduction to your GPA value, it will also negatively impact your policy’s ability to meet the GDB safety test.

If you allocate premium payments to, or transfer account value to the GPA, your value in the GPA will increase and your policy’s ability to satisfy the GDB safety test will increase. Policy changes that have a positive impact on the value in your GPA will also increase your policy’s ability to satisfy the GDB safety test. However, a positive value in your GPA does not guarantee that your policy will meet the GDB safety test.

Impact of the GDB safety test on monthly charges

If the applicable value of your policy is not sufficient to pay the monthly charges due, but your policy meets the GDB safety test, and you have not reached the policy’s debt limit, your policy will not enter the grace period, and we may reduce the monthly charges as follows:

A. If there is no policy debt:

Ÿ On each of the first two monthly charge dates, if the account value cannot cover the monthly charges due but the GDB safety test is met, then the monthly charges for that date will be reduced to an amount equal to the account value on that date.

Ÿ On each monthly charge date after the second monthly charge date, the monthly charges for that date will be reduced to equal the GPA value if:

a. The monthly charges due are greater than your value in the GPA and less than or equal to the account value, but the GDB measure is positive on that date, or

b. The account value is less than the monthly charges due but the GDB safety test is met.

B. If there is policy debt but the policy debt limit has not been exceeded:

Ÿ On each of the first two monthly charge dates, if the net surrender value cannot cover the monthly charges due but the GDB safety test is met, then the monthly charges for that date will be the lesser of (i) the monthly charges due, or (ii) the unloaned account value.

Ÿ On each monthly charge date after the second monthly charge date, the monthly charges for that date will be reduced to equal the unloaned GPA value if:

a. The monthly charges due are greater than the unloaned GPA value and less than or equal to the unloaned account value, but the GDB measure is positive on that date, or

b. The unloaned account value is less than the monthly charges due but the GDB safety test is met.

More in-depth explanations of how the GDB measure is calculated are contained in your policy and the Statement of Additional Information.

Examples of the GDB safety test appear in Appendix A.

Grace Period

Before your policy terminates, we allow a grace period during which you can pay the amount of

Policy Value

33

premium needed to avoid termination. We will mail you a notice stating:

a. the amount needed to avoid immediate termination, or

b. the amount needed to keep the policy in force until a future monthly charge date (depending on the planned premium frequency you have chosen)

The grace period begins on the date the monthly charges are due. It ends on the later of:

Ÿ 61 days after the date it begins, or

Ÿ 31 days after the date we mail you the notice.

During the grace period, the policy will stay in force. If the insured dies during this period and the necessary premium has not been paid, we will pay the death benefit proceeds, reduced by the amount of the unpaid premium.

If we receive a premium payment that is less than the amount needed to avoid immediate termination, we will return it and the policy will terminate without value at the end of the grace period.

The notice may state that a portion of your premium will be allocated to the GPA. If so, the allocation to the GPA must be made to satisfy the GDB safety test. If the notice does not include an amount that will be allocated to the GPA in order to satisfy the GDB safety test, any premium we receive will be allocated according to the net premium allocation in effect.

If the notice does include an amount that will be allocated to the GPA in order to satisfy the GDB safety test, and

Ÿ We receive an amount of premium that is equal to or greater than the amount needed to avoid immediate termination, but less than the amount needed to keep the policy in force until a future monthly charge date based on your planned premium frequency, according to the terms of your policy, we will first allocate enough premium to the GPA in order to avoid immediate termination. Any remaining premium will then be allocated in accordance with the net premium allocation instructions then in effect.

or

Ÿ We receive an amount of premium that is equal to or greater than the amount needed to keep the policy in force until a future monthly charge date based on your planned premium frequency, according to the terms of your policy, we will first allocate enough premium to the GPA to keep the policy in force until that date. Any remaining premium will then be allocated in accordance with the net premium allocation instructions then in effect.

The Company mailing a termination or a lapse notice to you constitutes sufficient notice of cancellation of coverage.

Reinstating Your Policy

If your policy terminates, you may be able to reinstate it. You may not, however, reinstate your policy if:

Ÿ you surrendered it (unless required by law);

Ÿ five years have passed since it terminated; or

Ÿ the insured’s attained age has reached 100.

To reinstate your policy, we will need:

1. a written application to reinstate;

2. evidence, satisfactory to us, that the insured is still insurable; and

3. a premium payment sufficient to keep the policy in force for three months after reinstatement. The minimum amount of this premium payment will be quoted on request.

4. a MEC Notice and Acknowledgement form, if the reinstated policy would be a MEC (see “Policy After You Reinstate” below, and the Federal Income Tax Considerations section).

The policy will be reinstated on the monthly charge date that is on, or precedes, the date we approve your application (the “reinstatement date”). We will not apply the required premium for reinstatement to any investment option until we have approved your reinstatement application. We will assess monthly charges due to us upon reinstatement of your policy as of the reinstatement date.

Policy After You Reinstate

If you reinstate your policy, the face amount will be the same as it was when the policy terminated. Your account value at reinstatement will be:

Ÿ the premium paid to reinstate your policy, plus

Ÿ the account value of the policy on the date it

Policy Value

34

lapsed adjusted to include, as applicable, accumulated interest and investment experience to the reinstatement date, minus

Ÿ the premium expense charge, minus

Ÿ applicable monthly charges due.

Additionally, if the policy lapsed during a period when a surrender charge applied and the surrender charge was taken at that time:

Ÿ the account value of the reinstated policy will be increased by an amount equal to the surrender charge that was taken, plus interest accumulated from the date of the lapse, and

Ÿ surrender charges, equal to the amount and period applicable when the policy lapsed, will apply to the reinstated policy.

We do not reinstate policy debt.

Reinstatement premium will be allocated in accordance with the net premium allocation instructions that were in effect on the date the policy lapsed. The GDB measure will reflect the amount of any reinstatement premium that is allocated to the GPA. The GDB measure on the date of reinstatement, therefore, will be equal to the net premium allocated to the GPA minus any applicable GDB reductions calculated for that date.

If you reinstate your policy, it may become a modified endowment contract under current federal tax law. Please consult your tax adviser. More information on modified endowment contracts is included in the Federal Income Tax Considerations section.

Reinstatement will not reverse any adverse tax consequences caused by policy termination unless it occurs within 90 days of the end of the grace period. In no situation, however, can adverse tax consequences that are a result of policy debt be reversed.

Policy Transactions

While your policy is in force you may generally transfer funds among the variable investment divisions and to or from the guaranteed principal account. You may also borrow against it, make withdrawals from it, or surrender it completely. These transactions are discussed below.

All transaction requests must be submitted to our Administrative Office.

Transfers

You may generally transfer all or part of a division’s account value to any other division or the guaranteed principal account. Transfers are effective on the valuation date we receive your request in good order at our Administrative Office. If we receive your request in good order on a non-valuation date or after the close of a valuation date, your transfer request will be effective on the next valuation date.

We do not charge for transfers.

You can submit transfer requests by sending us a written request on our Transfer of Values Request form. You may also submit transfer requests by telephone, facsimile transmission, or through our website, subject to certain restrictions. We may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions, therefore, we will take reasonable steps to confirm that instructions given to us are genuine. We may tape record all telephone conversations.

Currently, there is no limit on the number of transfers you may make among the Separate Account divisions. We reserve the right, however, to terminate, limit, or modify your ability to make such transfers.

We limit transfers from the guaranteed principal account to the divisions to one each policy year. You may not transfer more than 25% of the guaranteed principal account value (less any policy debt) at the time of transfer. There is one exception to this rule. If:

Ÿ you have transferred 25% of the guaranteed principal account value (less any policy debt) each year for three consecutive policy years; and

Ÿ you have not added any net premiums or transferred amounts to the guaranteed principal account during these three years; then

you may transfer the remainder of the guaranteed principal account value (less any policy debt) out of the guaranteed principal account in the succeeding policy year.

You may not make any fund transfers during the free look period in states that require we refund the policy’s account value.

Transfers to or from the guaranteed principal account will also be reflected in the guaranteed death benefit measure and, consequently, impact the GDB safety test. Please refer to the section on Guaranteed Death Benefit Measure under Policy Termination and Reinstatement for additional information.

Limits on Frequent Trading and Market Timing Activity

This policy and its investment choices are not designed to serve as vehicles for what we have determined to be frequent trading or market timing trading activity. We consider these activities to be abusive trading practices that can disrupt the management of a fund in the following ways:

Ÿ by requiring the fund to keep more of its assets liquid rather than investing them for long-term growth, resulting in lost investment opportunity; and

Ÿ by causing unplanned portfolio turnover.

These disruptions, in turn, can result in increased expenses and can have an adverse effect on fund performance that could impact all policy owners and beneficiaries under the policy, including long-term policy owners who do not engage in these activities. Therefore, we discourage frequent trading and market timing trading activity, and will not accommodate frequent transfers of account value among the funds. Organizations and individuals that intend to trade frequently and/or use market timing investment strategies should not purchase this policy.

We have adopted policies and procedures to help us identify those individuals or entities that we determine may be engaging in frequent trading and/or market timing trading activities. We monitor trading activity to uniformly enforce those procedures. However, those who engage in such activities may employ a variety of techniques

Policy Transactions

36

to avoid detection. Therefore, despite our efforts to prevent frequent trading and the market timing of funds among the divisions of the separate account, there can be no assurance that we will be able to identify all those who trade frequently or those who employ a market timing strategy, and curtail their trading in every instance.

In addition, some of the funds are available with variable products issued by other insurance companies. We do not know the effectiveness of the policies and procedures used by these other insurance companies to detect frequent trading and/or market timing. As a result of these factors, the funds may reflect lower performance and higher expenses across all policies as a result of undetected abusive trading practices.

If we, or the investment adviser to any of the funds available with this policy, determine that a policy owner’s transfer patterns reflect frequent trading or employment of a market timing strategy, we will not allow the policy owner to submit transfer requests by overnight mail, facsimile transmissions, the telephone, our website, or any other type of electronic medium. Additionally, we may reject any single trade that we determine to be abusive or harmful to the fund. Orders for the purchase of fund shares may be subject to acceptance by the fund. Therefore, we reserve the right to reject, without prior notice, any fund transfer request if the investment in the fund is not accepted for any reason. You should read the fund prospectuses for a description of their frequent trading and/or market timing policies.

We will notify you in writing if we reject a transfer or if we implement a restriction due to frequent trading or the use of market timing investment strategies. If we do not accept a transfer request, the account value will remain in the investment choice from which the transfer was attempted. We will then allow you to resubmit the rejected transfer by regular mail only.

Additionally, we may in the future take any of the following restrictive actions that are designed to prevent the employment of a frequent trading or market timing strategy:

Ÿ not accept transfer instructions from a policy owner or other person authorized to conduct a transfer;

Ÿ limit the number of transfer requests that can be made during a policy year; and

Ÿ require the value transferred into a fund to remain in that fund for a particular period of time before it can be transferred out of the fund.

We will apply any restrictive action we take uniformly to all policy owners we believe are employing a frequent trading or market timing strategy. These restrictive actions may not work to deter frequent trading or market timing activity.

We reserve the right to revise our procedures for detecting frequent trading and/or market timing at any time without prior notice if we determine it is necessary to do so in order to better detect frequent trading and/or market timing, to comply with state or federal regulatory requirements, or to impose different restrictions on frequent traders and/or market timers. If we modify our procedures, we will apply the new procedure uniformly to all policy owners.

Dollar Cost Averaging Program

Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) may be a way to soften the effects of short-term market fluctuations on your investment returns. It is an automated transfer program.

Dollar Cost Averaging will not assure you of a profit and will not protect you against a loss in declining markets. Since our DCA program anticipates continued investment during periods of fluctuating prices, you should consider your ability to assume the financial risks of continued DCA through periods of fluctuating price levels.

Initially, a minimum of $1000 account value is placed in one division of the Separate Account. Then, over a stipulated period of time and at a preset frequency, a specified amount of account value is transferred from that division and allocated to other divisions or to the GPA. The minimum transfer amount for the DCA program is $100. (See the Transfers section for information on limits on transfers from the GPA.)

Since the same, specified dollar amount is transferred to each division at a preset frequency, more accumulation units are purchased when prices are low than when prices are high. Therefore, a lower average cost per unit may be achievable than through a lump-sum purchase of units or through non-level purchases of units.

If on a specified DCA transfer date, however, the division from which amounts are being transferred

Policy Transactions

37

does not have enough value to make the transfers you elected, DCA will not occur. DCA will occur on the next designated DCA transfer date as long as the amount you designated to be transferred is available.

To elect DCA, complete our Dollar Cost Averaging Request form and send or fax it to us for processing. You can also elect DCA on our website, subject to certain restrictions. You may specify a termination date for DCA, if you wish to do so. You may not elect Dollar Cost Averaging for the policy while Portfolio Rebalancing is in effect. We do not charge you to participate in the DCA program.

We may at any time modify, suspend, or terminate the Dollar Cost Averaging program without prior notification.

Portfolio Rebalancing Program

Portfolio Rebalancing is an automated transfer program that maintains specified ratios of account values among your selected portfolio rebalancing divisions.

Over time, varying investment performance among divisions may cause the ratios of your account value in those selected divisions to change. You may automatically rebalance the portions in the divisions you select with Portfolio Rebalancing.

You may choose divisions among which you wish to maintain certain relative proportions of account value. At a pre-determined frequency, we will make transfers among these selected divisions so that their account value will again match the ratios you set.

To elect Portfolio Rebalancing, complete our Portfolio Rebalancing Request form and send or fax it to us for processing. You can also elect Portfolio Rebalancing on our website, subject to certain restrictions. You may not elect Portfolio Rebalancing while Dollar Cost Averaging is in effect for the policy. We do not charge you to participate in the Portfolio Rebalancing program.

We may at any time modify, suspend, or terminate the Portfolio Rebalancing program without prior notification.

Example:

Assume that you want your initial net premium payment split between 4 divisions: the MML Managed Bond Fund, the MML Blend Fund, the MML Equity Fund, and the Oppenheimer MidCap Fund/VA.

You have also completed a Portfolio Rebalancing form indicating that you want the values in the MML Managed Bond Fund and the Oppenheimer MidCap Fund/VA rebalanced quarterly as follows:

Ÿ 60% in the MML Managed Bond Fund; and

Ÿ 40% in the Oppenheimer MidCap Fund/VA.

Over the next 2½ months the bond market does very well while the stock market performs poorly. At the end of the first quarter, the MML Managed Bond Fund now represents 80% of the value of the two funds in your Portfolio Rebalancing Program.

On the first day of the next quarter, we would sell some of your units in the MML Managed Bond Fund and use the money to buy more units in the Oppenheimer MidCap Fund/VA to bring the ratio of the two funds back to 60/40 respectively. Note the other two funds (MML Blend and MML Equity) would remain unchanged, as you did not elect to include them in the Portfolio Rebalancing program.

Withdrawals

After the first policy year, you may withdraw up to 75% of the current net surrender value. The minimum amount you can withdraw is $100, including the withdrawal fee of $25. We do not charge a surrender charge for a withdrawal. You may not make a withdrawal after the insured’s attained age 99.

You can make a withdrawal by sending or faxing us a written request on our Partial Withdrawal Request form.

You must state in your request form the dollar amount and corresponding investment division(s) from which you want the withdrawal made except in the case of a maximum partial withdrawal, which is 75% of the cash surrender value. If you request a maximum partial withdrawal and do not indicate which funds to withdraw the value from, the amount of the withdrawal will be deducted

Policy Transactions

38

proportionately from the available divisions, including the non-loaned account value in the guaranteed principal account.

If you choose to withdraw an amount from the guaranteed principal account, it may not exceed the non-loaned account value in that investment division. A withdrawal from the GPA will reduce the guaranteed death benefit measure and, consequently, in most cases, negatively impact the GDB safety test.

A withdrawal will reduce your policy’s account value by the amount withdrawn, including the withdrawal fee. If the policy’s account value is reduced to a point where it cannot meet a monthly deduction your policy may terminate. A withdrawal may also reduce your policy’s face amount and may have adverse tax consequences.

We will reduce the face amount of your policy by the amount of the withdrawal, if:

Ÿ death benefit options 1 or 3 are in effect and the death benefit is greater than the minimum death benefit; or

Ÿ death benefit option 4 is in effect and the death benefit is greater than the minimum death benefit and the withdrawal is from the GPA; or

Ÿ the minimum death benefit, after the withdrawal, is less than the amount of benefit provided by the death benefit option in effect; and

Ÿ we have not received evidence of insurability satisfactory to us.

No surrender charge will apply, if your face amount is reduced because of a withdrawal.

There is one exception in cases where the death benefit option in effect is 1 or 3, or if death benefit option 4 is in effect and the withdrawal is taken from the GPA:

If the death benefit provided by the death benefit option immediately before the withdrawal is equal to the minimum death benefit, either the face amount reduction will be limited or we will not reduce the face amount.

We will not reduce the face amount if the death benefit immediately after the withdrawal would be the new minimum death benefit (based on the reduced account value). Otherwise, the face amount reduction will be based on a formula.

The formula considers the smallest withdrawal amount that would bring the minimum death benefit below the death benefit provided by the death benefit option. The formula reduces the face amount by the excess of the requested withdrawal amount over this smallest withdrawal amount. (Minimum death benefit, death benefit, and death benefit option are explained in the Death Benefit section.)

We may not allow a withdrawal if it would result in a reduction of the face amount to less than the minimum initial face amount. Withdrawals may have adverse tax consequences.

Withdrawal requests where evidence of insurability is not required will be effective on the valuation date we receive the written request in good order at our Administrative Office. Withdrawal requests where evidence of insurability is required will be effective on the valuation date we approve the evidence of insurability application provided that the remainder of the withdrawal request is in good order on that date.

If a withdrawal would cause the policy to become a modified endowment contract, a MEC Notice and Acknowledgement Form will be required before the withdrawal will be processed. For more information on MECs, see the Federal Income Tax Considerations section.

We will pay any withdrawal amounts within 7 days of the withdrawal effective date unless we are required to suspend or postpone withdrawal payments. (See Other Policy Rights and Limitations.)

Surrenders

You may surrender your policy to us at any time while the policy is in force and the insured is alive. We will pay you its net surrender value. To surrender your policy you must send us a completed surrender form and any other forms we may require.

The surrender will be effective on the valuation date we receive all required, fully completed forms in good order at our Administrative Office. We will pay any surrender amounts within 7 days of the surrender effective date, unless we are required to suspend or postpone surrender payments. (Please refer to Other Policy Rights and Limitations.)

The policy terminates as of the effective date of the surrender and cannot be reinstated unless required by law. Surrendering the policy may result in adverse tax consequences.

Policy Transactions

Subject to product and state availability, an endorsement to your variable life insurance policy may be available. The endorsement allows the Company to waive surrender charges, under certain circumstances, if a policy owner wishes to exchange their existing variable life insurance policy offered by MassMutual or one of its subsidiaries for a qualifying non-variable life insurance policy offered by MassMutual or one of its subsidiaries. We have the right to modify, suspend, or terminate any replacement program at any time without prior notification.

For more information, please contact your registered representative or call our Administrative Office.

Net Surrender Value

The net surrender value of the policy is equal to:

Ÿ the account value; minus

Ÿ any surrender charges that apply, and minus

Ÿ any policy debt.

Loans

You may take a loan from the policy once the account value exceeds the total of any surrender charges. We charge interest on policy loans and it may be added to the policy debt. We refer to all outstanding loans plus accrued interest as “policy debt”. You may repay all or part of your policy debt but you are not required to do so.

We currently allow loans in all policy years, however, we reserve the right to prohibit loans in the first policy year. The maximum loan amount allowed at any time is the amount that, with accrued loan interest calculated to the next policy anniversary date, will equal your account value less any surrender charge. The maximum amount available for a loan is the maximum loan amount allowed less any existing policy debt.

Taking a loan from your policy has several risks:

Ÿ it may increase the risk that your policy will terminate;

Ÿ it will have a permanent effect on your policy’s net surrender value;

Ÿ it may increase the amount of premium needed to keep the policy in force;

Ÿ it will reduce the death proceeds,

Ÿ it may cause your policy to fail the GDB safety test; and

Ÿ it has potential adverse tax consequences.

The risks that can result from taking a policy loan may be reduced if you repay the policy debt. The tax consequences of loans are discussed in the Federal Income Tax Considerations section.

Loan Procedures

Requesting a Loan

Ÿ You may take a loan by completing a Loan Request form and sending or faxing it to our Administrative Office. You must select from where you would like the loan amount deducted. You may choose to deduct your loan from:

Ÿ up to 18 divisions of the Separate Account, or

Ÿ up to 17 divisions of the Separate Account and the GPA.

Ÿ You must assign the policy to us as collateral for the loan.

Payment of Proceeds

Loans will be effective on the valuation date we receive your Loan Request form and all other required documents in good order at our Administrative Office. On the effective date of the loan, we deduct proportionate accumulation units from the divisions you have selected and, if applicable, the guaranteed principal account (excluding any outstanding loans), and transfer the resulting dollar amounts to the loan section of the guaranteed principal account. We will pay any loan amounts within 7 days of the loan effective date, unless we are required to suspend or postpone loan amounts. (Please refer to Other Policy Rights and Limitations.)

Interest Credited on the Loaned Value

When you take a loan, we transfer an amount equal to the loan to the loan section of the guaranteed principal account. This amount earns interest at a rate equal to the greater of:

Ÿ 3%, or

Ÿ the policy loan rate less the current loan interest rate expense charge.

On each policy anniversary, the interest earned on any outstanding loan is transferred to the divisions of the Separate Account according to the values in them at that time. If you have no value in the Separate Account at that time, then the interest earned on any outstanding loan remains in the GPA.

Loan Interest Charged

The interest rate charged on loans is 4%. This is a fixed rate; it will not change during the life of the policy.

Interest on policy loans accrues daily and becomes part of the policy debt as it accrues. It is due on each policy anniversary. If you do not pay it when it is due, the interest is deducted proportionately from the divisions of the Separate Account according to the then current value in those divisions and added to the loan. (If the policy’s account value cannot cover the loan interest due, the policy may lapse according to the Policy Termination section of this prospectus.) As part of the loan, it will bear interest at the loan rate. We will treat capitalized interest the same as a new loan. If there is not enough value in the divisions, the balance of the interest due will be taken from the GPA and that will, in turn, impact the GDB measure.

Effect of a Loan on the Values of the Policy

A policy loan negatively affects policy values since we reduce the death benefit and net surrender value by the amount of the policy debt. Additionally, if you elect to take any portion of the loan from the GPA, the policy’s guaranteed death benefit measure will also be reduced and, consequently, in most cases, negatively impact the GDB safety test.

As long as a loan is outstanding, a portion of the policy account value equal to the loan is invested in the guaranteed principal account. This amount does not participate in the investment performance of the Separate Account.

Whenever you reach your policy debt limit, your policy is at risk of terminating whether or not the GDB safety test has been met. If this happens we will notify you in writing. The section on Policy Termination explains more completely what will happen if your policy is at risk of terminating.

Your policy debt limit is reached when total policy debt exceeds:

Ÿ the account value less surrender charges, if the GDB safety test has not been met, or

Ÿ the account value if the GDB safety test has been met.

Repayment of Loans

You may repay all or part of your policy debt at any time while the insured is living and while the policy is in force. We will increase the death benefit and net surrender value under the policy by the amount of the repayment. We do not offer an automatic loan repayment plan.

You must clearly identify the payment as a loan repayment or we will consider it a premium payment. We will apply your loan repayments on the valuation date they are received at our Administrative Office, in good order.

Any loan repayment you make within 30 days of the policy anniversary date will first pay policy loan interest due. We will allocate any other loan repayment first to the guaranteed principal account until any loan amount that originated from the GPA, excluding interest, is repaid. Any additional loan repayments, including loan interest, will be allocated to the GPA and the divisions of the Separate Account according to your premium allocation instructions in effect at that time. Any loan repayment that is in excess of the outstanding loan will also be allocated according to your current premium allocation instructions.

Any loan repayments allocated to the GPA will also increase the guaranteed death benefit measure.

We will deduct any outstanding policy debt from:

Ÿ the proceeds payable on the death of the insured,

Ÿ the proceeds payable when you surrender the policy, or

Ÿ the account value if the policy lapses.

In these situations, we will then consider the policy debt paid.

Death Benefit

If the insured dies while the policy is in force and we determine that the claim is valid, we will pay the death benefit to the named beneficiary.

The death benefit will be the amount provided by the death benefit option in effect on the date of death, reduced by any outstanding policy debt, and any unpaid premium needed to avoid termination. The death benefit is calculated as of the date of the insured’s death.

The minimum death benefit for your policy is based on your policy’s account value as described below.

Minimum Death Benefit

In order to qualify as life insurance under Internal Revenue Code Section 7702, the policy must have a minimum death benefit that is determined by one of two compliance tests. You choose the test when you apply for the policy. You cannot change your choice of test after the policy is issued.

Cash Value Accumulation Test. Under this test the minimum death benefit is equal to a multiple of the account value. The multiple factor depends on the insured’s:

Ÿ gender,

Ÿ attained age, and

Ÿ tobacco classification.

Guideline Premium Test. Under this test the minimum death benefit also is equal to a multiple of the account value, but the multiple factor varies only by the attained age of the insured.

The multiple factors for the Cash Value Accumulation Test and the Guideline Premium Test are shown in the policy.

Your choice of the Guideline Premium Test or the Cash Value Accumulation Test will depend on how you intend to pay premiums. In general, if you intend to pay premiums only in the early policy years, the Cash Value Accumulation Test may be appropriate. If you intend to pay level premiums over a long period of years, the Guideline Premium Test may be more appropriate. You should review policy illustrations of both approaches with your financial representative to determine how the policy works under each test, and which is best for you.

Death Benefit Options

When you apply for the policy you must choose one of four death benefit options. These are:

Ÿ Option 1 — The benefit is the greater of:

(a) The face amount on the date of death; or

(b) The minimum death benefit on the date of death.

Ÿ Option 2 — The benefit is the greater of:

(a) The face amount plus the account value on the date of death, or

(b) The minimum death benefit on the date of death.

Ÿ Option 3 — The benefit is the greater of:

(a) The face amount plus the premiums paid (less any premiums refunded) to the date of death; or

(b) The minimum death benefit on the date of death.

Ÿ Option 4 — The benefit is the greater of:

(a) The face amount plus the account value on the date of death less the Guaranteed Principal Account, or

(b) The minimum death benefit on the date of death.

You should note that death benefit options 2 and 4 provide a variable death benefit. This means that, because the death benefit amount includes the account value, it can change from day to day. Your policy’s account value will vary due to the investment performance of the variable divisions in which you have allocated premium. It is also impacted by the deduction of charges and other policy expenses. It is possible that the policy’s account value can be zero, which will reduce the overall value of the death benefit. The Policy Value section of this prospectus provides more detailed information on how your policy’s account value is determined.

The death benefit we pay will be reduced by any outstanding policy debt and any unpaid premium needed to avoid termination.

Right to Change the Death Benefit Option

After the first policy year, generally you may change the death benefit option while the insured is living. However, no change will be permitted beyond the insured’s attained age 99. Although we do not currently restrict the number of times you may change your death benefit option, we reserve the right to limit the number of death benefit option changes in any policy year.

You must send us a written request to change your death benefit option. We do not require evidence of insurability.

The change in death benefit option will be effective on the monthly charge date that is on or precedes the date we receive the request.

The value of your death benefit under the new death benefit option will be the same as the value of the death benefit under the old death benefit option at the time of the change. Therefore, the policy’s face amount will be adjusted accordingly when there is a change in the death benefit option. (Appendix C contains examples of how a change in death benefit option impacts the policy’s face amount.)

When the face amount changes as a result of a change in the death benefit option:

Ÿ the monthly charges will also change;

Ÿ the charge for certain additional benefits may change;

Ÿ the GDB factors will change; and

Ÿ the policy surrender charge will not change.

A change in your death benefit option may also have an impact on your ability to satisfy the GDB safety test.

You cannot change the death benefit option if, as a result, the face amount would be reduced to an amount that is less than the minimum initial face amount.

Right to Change the Face Amount

You may request an increase or decrease in the face amount. If you change your face amount, your policy charges, including surrender charges, will change accordingly. If the account value is insufficient (or the net surrender value if there is policy debt) to continue the policy in force with the requested change in face amount, we will require an additional premium payment prior to processing the requested change. Your ability to satisfy the GDB safety test will also be affected.

We reserve the right to limit the size and number of changes to the face amount in any policy year.

If you increase or decrease the policy face amount, your policy may become a modified endowment contract (MEC) under federal tax law. MEC’s are discussed in the Federal Income Tax Considerations section of this prospectus; however, you should consult your tax adviser for information on how a MEC may effect your tax situation.

Increases in Face Amount. To increase the policy face amount, you must provide us with a written application and evidence the insured is still insurable.

An increase in face amount may not be:

Ÿ less than $15,000, or

Ÿ made after the insured reaches attained age 90.

If the account value (or the net surrender value if there is policy debt) is insufficient to continue the policy in force for three months at the new monthly charges and interest, we may require a premium payment sufficient to increase the account value to such an amount.

Additional insurance charges, face amount charges, GDB insurance factors, and GDB face amount factors will apply for each face amount increase you elect. Additionally, a separate surrender charge schedule will apply to the amount of the increase. Generally, these surrender charges will apply during the first 19 years of the segment’s coverage.

Face amount increases will be effective on the monthly charge date that is on, or precedes, the date we approve the application for the increase.

Decreases in Face Amount. You may decrease the face amount any time after the first policy year or one year after a face amount increase. You must send a written request to our Administrative Office. When we receive a written request for a decrease in face amount from the policy owner, we will provide the policy owner with a written notice that specifies the surrender charges to be

Death Benefit

43

assessed at the time of the decrease. If the policy owner does not withdraw the request for the decrease in face amount within ten days from the date of the written notice, we will process the decrease in face amount and assess any surrender charges that may apply. If we determine that the policy will become a MEC, then the decrease will not be processed until a MEC Notice and Acknowledgment form is received in good order at our Administrative Office.

If you decrease the policy face amount, we cancel all or part of your face amount segments, and a partial surrender charge may apply. Surrender charges that apply when you decrease the policy’s face amount are discussed in the Charges and Deductions section under Surrender Charges for Decreases in Face Amount.

A decrease will reduce the face amount in the following order:

(a) the face amount of the most recent increase; then

(b) the face amounts of the next most recent increases successively; and last

(c) the initial face amount.

You may not decrease the face amount:

Ÿ after the insured’s attained age 99; or

Ÿ if the decrease would result in a face amount of less than the minimum initial face amount ($50,000).

Face amount decreases will be effective on the monthly charge date that is on, or precedes, the date we receive the written request. A face amount decrease will reduce your policy’s account value by the amount of the partial surrender charge. If the policy’s account value is reduced to a point where it cannot cover the charges due, the policy may terminate.

Decreases in the policy’s face amount may have adverse tax consequences.

When We Pay Death Benefit Proceeds

If the policy is in force and it is determined that the claim is valid, we normally pay the death benefit within seven calendar days after we receive all required documents, in good order, at our Administrative Office.

Certain situations may delay payment of a death claim. Some of the situations that can cause a delay in payment include, but are not limited to, the following:

We investigate all death claims that occur within two-years (a) after the policy is issued, (b) after an increase in the face amount, or (c) after reinstatement. These two-year periods are called the policy’s “contestable periods”. We may also investigate death claims beyond a two-year contestable period.

We generally determine whether the contested claim is valid within five days after we receive the information from a completed investigation. Since it may take some time to receive the information, however, payment could be delayed during this period.

We can also delay payment of the death benefit during periods when:

i. It is not reasonably practical to determine the amount because the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary week-end and holiday closings);

ii. Trading is restricted by the SEC;

iii. The SEC declares an emergency exists; or

iv. The SEC, by order, permits us to delay payment in order to protect our owners,

And if,

Ÿ The period begins on or before the date of the insured’s death; and

Ÿ The amount of the death benefit is based on the variable account value of the policy as of the date of the insured’s death.

We will pay interest on the death benefit from the date of death to the date of a lump sum payment or the effective date of a payment option.

Payment Options

We will pay the death benefit in one lump sum or the beneficiary may choose one or more of the following options:

Ÿ Installments for a specified period;

Ÿ Installments for a specified amount;

Ÿ As a life income;

Ÿ As a life income with payments guaranteed for the amount applied;

Ÿ As a joint lifetime income with reduced payments to the survivor;

Death Benefit

44

Ÿ Interest on the benefit amount.

Your policy and the Statement of Additional Information provide more information about these payment options.

Suicide

If the insured dies by suicide, while sane or insane, the policy death benefit may be limited.

Ÿ If the death occurs within two years after the issue date, the policy will terminate and we will refund to the owner the sum of all premiums paid less any withdrawals and any policy debt.

Ÿ If the death occurs within two years after reinstatement of the policy, the policy will terminate and we will refund to the owner the sum of the premium paid to reinstate and all premiums paid thereafter, less any withdrawals after reinstatement and any policy debt at the time of death.

Ÿ If death occurs within two years after the effective date of an increase in face amount (but at least two years after the issue date or any reinstatement), the policy will terminate and we will refund to the owner the sum of the monthly charges made for the increase. However, if a refund as described in either of the two preceding paragraphs is payable, there will be no additional payment for the increase.

Error of Age or Gender

At the time of a death claim, if the insured’s age or gender was misstated in the policy application, or the policy has been issued incorrectly, we may adjust the face amount. The adjustment will reflect the amount provided by the most recent monthly insurance charges using the correct age and gender. If the adjustment is made while the insured is living, monthly charges after the adjustment will be based on the correct age and gender.

Other Benefits Available Under the Policy

Additional Benefits You Can Get By Rider

You can obtain additional benefits if you request them and qualify for them. We provide additional benefits by riders, which are subject to the terms of both the rider and the policy. The cost of each rider is generally deducted as part of the monthly charges. Some riders do not result in monthly charges, however, we may charge a one-time fee when you exercise the rider.

Riders for which we charge will also have guaranteed death benefit factors associated with them. The GDB factors will be described in the rider and will be included in the calculations used to determine the GDB measure. If you choose to add a rider for which we charge, you may cancel it at any time upon written request.

Following is a brief description of the riders that can be, subject to state availability, added to the policy. For more information on these riders please refer to the Statement of Additional Information or talk to your financial representative. The terms and conditions of these riders may vary from state to state.

Accelerated Death Benefit Rider

This rider advances to the owner a portion of the policy’s death benefit, when we receive proof, satisfactory to us, that the insured is terminally ill and is not expected to live more than 12 months. In return for the advance payment, a lien is placed on the policy equal to the amount of benefit accelerated. Interest is not charged on the lien.

In states where this rider is available, it is included automatically with the policy.

Additional Insurance Rider

This rider provides term insurance on the life of the insured named in the base policy. The coverage is convertible for a limited amount of time. You may request an increase or decrease in the face amount of the rider. If you change the face amount, your policy charges will change accordingly.

The face amount of the rider is included in the calculation of the policy’s total face amount and, therefore, it will impact:

Ÿ the rates used in determining the insurance charge, and

Ÿ the amount of benefit under the death benefit option in effect.

We will decrease the face amount of the Additional Insurance Rider if the face amount of the base policy falls below its minimum of $50,000 due to a withdrawal or a death benefit option change.

In deciding whether to use the Additional Insurance Rider as part of the total coverage under your policy, you should consider a number of factors.

Some possible advantages of using the Additional Insurance Rider include:

1. Since there are no surrender charges associated with the rider, the policy’s total net surrender value will be higher.

2. Decreasing the rider face amount would not incur a surrender charge.

Some possible disadvantages include:

1. The rider will increase the cost associated with satisfying your policy’s GDB safety test.

2. Adding the rider to your policy will result in lower account values.

3. Coverage under the rider terminates at attained age 100, whereas coverage under the base policy continues without further monthly charges.

4. If you select the Guideline Premium Test to qualify the policy as life insurance, the total amount of premiums you may be allowed to pay under the policy will be lower.

5. If you select the Cash Value Accumulation Test instead, the amount of premiums you may be allowed to pay each policy year may be lower.

6. If your policy has the Disability Benefit Rider (discussed later in this section) and the insured becomes totally disabled, the monthly rider benefit may be lower.

7. If your policy has the Waiver of Specified Premium rider (discussed later in this section) and the insured becomes totally disabled, the monthly rider benefit may be lower.

Other Benefits Available Under the Policy

46

You should review these factors with your financial representative before deciding whether to use the Additional Insurance Rider.

Disability Benefit Rider

Under this rider, while the insured is totally disabled, as defined in the rider, we will:

Ÿ Credit a monthly specified benefit amount designated by you to the policy’s account value, and

Ÿ Waive the monthly charges.

Guaranteed Insurability Rider

This rider provides the right to increase the face amount of the policy without evidence of insurability on certain options dates as defined in the rider.

Other Insured Rider

This rider provides level term insurance on the life of the insured named in the base policy, or the insured’s spouse or child. The coverage under the rider is convertible for a limited amount of time. You may request an increase or decrease in the face amount of the rider. If you change the face amount, your policy charges will change accordingly.

In deciding whether to use the Other Insured Rider as part of the total coverage under your policy, you should consider a number of factors. If the insured named in the rider is the same as the insured named in the base policy:

Ÿ The cost associated with satisfying the GDB safety test will be affected and the policy’s account values will also be affected.

Ÿ Since there are no surrender charges associated with the rider, the policy’s total net surrender value may be higher during periods when surrender charges are in effect.

Ÿ The policy may have lower account values in later years.

Ÿ Decreasing the rider face amount would not incur a surrender charge.

Ÿ The amount of premiums you may pay each policy year may be lower.

Ÿ If your policy has the Disability Benefit Rider (discussed earlier in this section) and the insured becomes totally disabled, the monthly rider benefit may be lower.

Ÿ If your policy has the Waiver of Specified Premium rider (discussed later in this section) and the insured becomes totally disabled, the monthly rider benefit may be lower.

You should review these factors with your financial representative before deciding whether to use the Other Insured rider and the insured named in the rider is the same as the insured named in the base policy.

Substitute of Insured Rider

This rider, within certain limitations, allows you to substitute a new insured in place of the current insured named in the base policy. This rider is included automatically with the policy.

Substituting a new insured under the policy may have adverse tax consequences. Please consult your tax advisor before you make your decision.

Waiver of Monthly Charges Rider

Under this rider, we will waive the monthly charges due for the policy while the insured is totally disabled as defined in the rider.

Waiver of Specified Premium Rider

Under this rider, while the insured is totally disabled as defined in the rider, we will credit the policy’s account value the greater of:

Ÿ The monthly charges, or

Ÿ A monthly specified amount designated by the policy owner.

Charges and Deductions

We deduct the following charges from the policy.

In addition, the fund managers deduct expenses from the funds. For more information about these expenses, see the individual fund prospectuses.

Transaction Charges

Deductions from Premiums

We deduct a premium expense charge from each premium payment you make. The premium expense charge is generally used to cover taxes assessed by a state and/or other governmental agency as well as acquisition expenses.

The maximum premium expense charge we can deduct is 5% of any premium paid.

Withdrawal Charge

If you make a withdrawal from your policy, we deduct $25 from the amount you withdraw. This fee is guaranteed not to increase for the duration of the policy. This charge reimburses us for processing the withdrawal.

Loan Interest Rate Expense Charge

We assess a loan interest rate expense charge against policies with outstanding loan balances. The maximum loan interest rate expense charge is:

Ÿ during policy years 1 through 15: 1%, and

Ÿ during policy years 16+: 0.25%.

It is deducted from the policy loan interest rate to determine the interest rate we use to credit interest to the loaned portion of the guaranteed principal account. This charge reimburses us for the ongoing expense of administering the loan.

Surrender Charges

There is a charge if you fully surrender your policy or if you decrease the face amount. We may also take any applicable surrender charges if your policy lapses. (See the Policy Termination section for more information.) Generally, these charges will apply during:

Ÿ the first 19 years (14 years for policies issued in New York) of coverage, and

Ÿ the first 19 years after each increase in face amount.

However, in no event will we deduct surrender charges after the insured’s attained age 99.

This surrender charge is also sometimes called a “deferred sales load”. The charge compensates us for expenses incurred in issuing the policy, and face amount increases, and for the recovery of acquisition costs.

The surrender charge is a charge against the account value of the policy. The deduction is taken from the Separate Account divisions and the guaranteed principal account (excluding debt) in proportion to the values in each on the effective date of the surrender or decrease in face amount.

We calculate surrender charges separately for the initial face amount and for each increase in the face amount. The surrender charge for the policy is the sum of the surrender charges for the initial face amount and all face amount increases.

Your policy’s surrender charges will be listed in your policy. The charge is based on:

Ÿ the policy’s face amount,

Ÿ the insured’s issue age, gender, and risk classification, and

Ÿ the coverage year.

In no case, however, will the surrender charge ever exceed $55.99 per $1,000 of face amount.

Subject to product and state availability, an endorsement to your variable life insurance policy may be available. The endorsement allows the Company to waive surrender charges, under certain circumstances, if a policy owner wishes to exchange their existing variable life insurance policy offered by MassMutual or one of its subsidiaries for a qualifying non-variable life insurance policy offered by MassMutual or one of its subsidiaries. We have the right to modify, suspend, or terminate any replacement program at any time without prior notification.

For more information, please contact your registered representative or call our Administrative Office.

Charges and Deductions

Surrender Charges for Decreases in Face Amount

If you decrease your policy’s face amount, we cancel all or a part of your face amount segments and charge a partial surrender charge that is equal to the surrender charge associated with each decreased or cancelled segment multiplied by the proportion of that segment that is decreased. If the partial surrender charge would be greater than the account value (less debt) of the policy, we set the partial surrender charge equal to the account value (less debt) on the date of the surrender.

After a face amount decrease, we reduce the surrender charge for the remaining segments by the amount of the partial surrender charge. This charge provides us with a proportional compensation for expenses incurred in issuing the policy and face amount increases, and for the recovery of acquisition costs.

Rider Processing Fee

We will assess a one-time processing fee at the time you exercise either the Accelerated Death Benefit Rider or the Substitute of Insured Rider. The current processing fee for the Accelerated Death Benefit Rider is $150 and $75 for the Substitute of Insured Rider. Payment is due upon request to exercise the Substitute of Insured Rider; however, the fee for the Accelerated Death Benefit Rider is deducted from the accelerated benefit payment and will reduce the amount you receive.

Monthly Charges Against the Account Value

The following charges are deducted from the account value on each monthly charge date. We do not, however, deduct these monthly charges after the insured’s attained age 99. The “monthly charge date” is the date on which monthly charges for the policy are due. The first monthly charge date is the policy date, and subsequent monthly charge dates are on the same day of each succeeding calendar month.

Your policy’s monthly charge date will be listed in the policy specifications page. Monthly charges will be deducted:

A. On the policy’s first two monthly charge dates:

Proportionately from the unloaned fixed account value and the values in the divisions of the Separate Account.

If there is not enough account value on either of the first two monthly charge dates, the policy will enter the grace period, unless the GDB safety test is met. If the GDB safety test is met, monthly charges due will be reduced to the unloaned account value.

And,

B. On all subsequent monthly charge dates:

From the GPA.

If there is not enough account value in the unloaned GPA on any of the subsequent monthly charge dates and the GDB measure is less than the GDB monthly factors, monthly charges will then be deducted proportionately from the unloaned fixed account value and the values in the divisions of the Separate Account.

If the GDB safety test is met (or, in some situations, just the GDB measure portion of the GDB safety test) the monthly charges due will be reduced to the value of the unloaned portion of the GPA and will be deducted solely from that account. These situations are discussed more fully in the Policy Termination section.

Administrative Charge and Face Amount Charge

The administrative charge and the face amount charge reimburse us for issuing and administering the policy, and for such activities as processing claims, maintaining records and communicating with you.

Administrative Charge. The maximum administrative charge is $12 per policy, per month.

Face Amount Charge. The face amount charge is a rate per $1,000 of face amount. We calculate the face amount charge separately for the initial face amount and for each increase in the face amount. It is based on:

Ÿ the issue age of the insured for the initial face amount, and

Ÿ for each increase, the insured’s age at time of the increase,

Charges and Deductions

49

and it is multiplied by the segment face amount. This charge is assessed during the first 5 years of each coverage segment.

Insurance Charge

The insurance charge reimburses us for providing you with life insurance protection. We deduct an insurance charge based on your policy’s insurance risk.

The maximum or guaranteed insurance charge rates associated with your policy are shown in the policy’s specification pages. They are calculated using the 1980 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables or, for unisex rates, the 1980 Commissioners Ordinary Mortality Table B. The rates are also based on the age, gender (unless the unisex rates are used), and risk classification of the person insured by the policy.

Your policy’s actual or current insurance charge rates are based on the insured’s issue age (and age at increase, if applicable), risk class, and gender (unless unisex rates are used). These rates generally increase as the insured’s age increases. The rates will vary with the number of years the coverage has been in force and with the total face amount of the policy.

How the insurance charge is calculated.

A. If the minimum death benefit is not in effect:

We calculate the insurance charge on each monthly charge date by multiplying the current insurance charge rate by a discounted insurance risk.

The insurance risk is the difference between:

Ÿ The amount of benefit available, on that date, under the death benefit option in effect, discounted by the monthly equivalent of 3% per year, and

Ÿ the account value at the beginning of the policy month before the monthly insurance charge is due.

The following three steps describe how we calculate the insurance charge for your policy:

Step 1: We calculate the total insurance risk for your policy:

a. We divide the amount of benefit under the death benefit option in effect that would be available at the beginning of the policy month by 1.0024662698 (which is the monthly equivalent of 3%);

b. We subtract your policy’s account value at the beginning of the policy month from the amount we calculated in 1a above.

Step 2: We allocate the insurance risk in proportion to the face amount of each segment and each increase that’s in force as of your monthly charge date.

Step 3: We multiply the amount of each allocated insurance risk by the insurance charge rate for each coverage segment. The sum of these amounts is your insurance charge.

B. If the minimum death benefit is in effect:

We also calculate the insurance charge on each monthly charge date. However, in Step 1 we calculate the total insurance risk for your policy, as described in A, (i) assuming the minimum death benefit is in effect, and then (ii) assuming the minimum death benefit is not in effect.

Step 2: We allocate the insurance risk:

a. calculated for (ii) in proportion to the face amount of each segment and each increase that’s in force as of your monthly charge date; and

b. we subtract the risk calculated for (ii) from the risk calculated for (i) and allocate that amount to the last underwritten segment.

Step 3: We multiply the amount of each allocated insurance risk by the insurance charge rate for each coverage segment. The sum of these amounts is your insurance charge.

Additional Information about the Insurance Charge. We will apply any changes in the insurance charges uniformly for all insureds of the same issue ages, gender, risk classes, and whose coverage has been in-force for the same length of time. No change in insurance class or cost will occur on account of deterioration of the insured’s health after we issue the policy.

Because your account value and death benefit may vary from month to month, your insurance charge may also vary on each monthly charge date. The cost of your insurance depends on the amount of insurance risk on your policy. Factors that may affect the insurance risk include:

Ÿ the amount and timing of premium payments,

Ÿ investment performance,

Charges and Deductions

50

Ÿ fees and charges assessed,

Ÿ the addition or deletion of certain riders,

Ÿ rider charges,

Ÿ withdrawals,

Ÿ policy loans,

Ÿ changes to the face amount, and

Ÿ changes to the death benefit option.

Rider Charges

The charges for the following riders are deducted from the account value on each monthly charge date: Additional Insurance Rider, Disability Benefit Rider, Guaranteed Insurability Rider, Other Insured Rider, Waiver of Monthly Charges Rider and Waiver of Specified Premium Rider.

The rates for the Additional Insurance and Other Insured Riders vary by the insured’s gender, issue age, risk classification and year of coverage. Current rates for the Other Insured Rider range from $0.02 to $79.16 per $1,000 of rider insurance risk. Charges for the Additional Insurance Rider have two components. A portion of the charge is based on a current rate of $0.02 to $82.50 per $1,000 of rider insurance risk. The remainder of the charge is based on a current rate of $0 to $0.41 per $1,000 of rider face amount. Monthly charges will not continue beyond the insured’s attained age 99.

The current charge for the Waiver of Monthly Charges Rider is $0.01 to $0.26 per $1 of monthly deductions. The charge for the Disability Benefit Rider has two components. A portion of the charge is based on a current rate of $0.01 to $0.26 per $1 of monthly deductions. The remainder of the charge for the Disability Benefit Rider is based on a current rate of $0 to $0.04 per $1 of specified benefit amount. Monthly charges will continue to, but not including, the policy anniversary date on which the insured’s attained age becomes 65.

The current charge for the Waiver of Specified Premium Rider is dependent on which benefit has been determined to be the greatest, the monthly charges or the specified premium amount. If the rider benefit is the monthly charges, the charge is based on a current rate of $0.01 to $0.26 per $1 of monthly deduction. If the rider benefit is the specified premium amount, the charge is based on a current rate of $0 to $0.04 per $1 of specified premium amount. Monthly charges will continue to, but not including, the policy anniversary date on which the insured’s attained age becomes 65.

The current charge for the Guaranteed Insurability Rider is $0.03 to $0.11 per $1,000 of optional insurance coverage. Monthly charges will continue to, but not including, the policy anniversary date on which the insured’s attained age becomes 46.

The rates for the Waiver of Monthly Charges Rider, Disability Benefit Rider, Waiver of Specified Premium Rider and Guaranteed Insurability Rider vary by the insured’s gender and age.

Daily Charges Against the Separate Account

The following charges are deducted from the Separate Account daily:

Asset Charge

The asset charge is determined on your policy’s monthly charge date and is based on your policy’s account value, on that monthly charge date, after the current monthly charges are deducted.

The charge is applied, on a daily basis, to your value in the Separate Account only. The maximum annual asset charge is equal to the following percentages of the portion of your policy’s average daily net assets that are invested in the Separate Account:

Ÿ during policy years 1 thru 15:

Your Account Value	Annualized Asset Charge
$  0          — $49,999.99	1.15%
$  50,000 — $99,999.99	0.90%
$100,000 +	0.65%

Ÿ 0.50% during policy years 16 and beyond.

When your policy is issued, the asset charge is set assuming your policy account value is $100,000, regardless of your policy’s actual account value. The asset charge will remain at this level until the monthly charge date that is on or immediately after the date we receive your first premium payment. On the monthly charge date immediately following your first premium payment, your asset charge will be set according to your policy’s actual account value. On each of the policy’s subsequent monthly charge dates

Charges and Deductions

51

during your first 15 policy years, we will determine the asset charge to be applied to your value in the Separate Account until the next monthly charge date. Even though your variable account value may change from day-to-day, the asset charge applied to your value invested in the Separate Account will only change on a monthly charge date when your account value has increased or decreased to a level that triggers the assessment of a different asset charge as shown in the table.

The asset charge compensates us for the risks and expenses involved in issuing and administering life insurance protection.

If the asset charge is not sufficient to cover the risks and expenses involved in issuing and administering the policy, we will bear the loss. If the amount of the charge is more than sufficient to cover those risks and expenses, we will make a profit on the charge. We may use this profit for any purpose, including the payment of marketing and distribution expenses for the contract.

Fund Expenses

The Separate Account purchases shares of the funds at net asset value. The net asset value of each fund reflects investment management fees and other expenses already deducted from the assets of the fund. In addition, one or more of the funds available as an investment choice may pay us a distribution fee out of the fund’s assets. This distribution fee is called a “12b-1” fee. Any investment in one of the funds with a 12b-1 fee will increase the cost of your investment in this contract. Please refer to the fund prospectuses for more information regarding these expenses.

Special Circumstances

There may be special circumstances that result in sales or administrative expenses or insurance risks that are different than those normally associated with this policy. Under such circumstances, we may vary the charges and other terms of the policies. We will make these variations only in accordance with uniform rules we establish.

Federal Income Tax Considerations

The information in this prospectus is general and is not an exhaustive discussion of all tax questions that might arise under the policy. The information is not written or intended as tax or legal advice, and may not be relied upon for purposes of avoiding any federal tax penalties. You are encouraged to seek legal and tax advice from a qualified tax advisor. In addition, we do not profess to know the likelihood that current federal income tax laws and Treasury Regulations or the current interpretations of the Internal Revenue Code, Regulations, and other guidance will continue. We cannot make any guarantee regarding the future tax treatment of any policy. We reserve the right to make changes in the policy to assure that it continues to qualify as life insurance for tax purposes.

No attempt is made in this prospectus to consider any applicable state or other tax laws.

Policy Proceeds and Loans. We believe the policy meets the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) definition of life insurance. Therefore, the death benefit under the policy generally is excludible from the beneficiary’s gross income under federal tax law, and the gain accumulated in the contract is not taxed until withdrawn or otherwise accessed. Gain withdrawn from a policy is taxed as ordinary income.

The following information applies only to a policy that is not a modified endowment contract (“MEC”) under federal tax law. See Modified Endowment Contracts later in this section for information about MECs.

As a general rule, withdrawals are taxable only to the extent that the amounts received exceed your cost basis in the policy. Cost basis equals the sum of the premiums and other consideration paid for the policy less any prior withdrawals under the policy that were not subject to income taxation. For example, if your cost basis in the policy is $10,000, amounts received under the policy will not be taxable as income until they exceed $10,000 in the aggregate; then, only the excess over $10,000 is taxable.

However, special rules apply to certain withdrawals associated with a decrease in the policy death benefit. The IRC provides that if:

Ÿ there is a reduction of benefits during the first 15 years after a policy is issued, and

Ÿ there is a cash distribution associated with the reduction,

you may be taxed on all or a part of the amount distributed. After 15 years, cash distributions are not subject to federal income tax, except to the extent they exceed your cost basis.

If you surrender the policy for its net surrender value, all or a portion of the distribution may be taxable as ordinary income. The distribution represents income to the extent the value received exceeds your cost basis in the policy. For this calculation, the value received is equal to the account value, reduced by any surrender charges, but not reduced by any outstanding policy debt. Therefore, if there is a loan on the policy when the policy is surrendered, the loan will reduce the cash actually paid to you but will not reduce the amount you must include in your taxable income as a result of the surrender.

To illustrate how policy termination with an outstanding loan can result in adverse tax consequences as described above, suppose that your premiums paid (that is, your cost basis) in the policy is $10,000, your account value is $15,000, you have no surrender charges, and you have received no other distributions and taken no withdrawals under the policy. If, in this example, you have an outstanding policy debt of $14,000, you would receive a payment equal to the net surrender value of only $1,000; but you still would have taxable income at the time of surrender equal to $5,000 ($15,000 account value minus $10,000 cost basis).

The potential that policy debt will cause taxable income from policy termination to exceed the payment received at termination also may occur if the policy terminates without value. Factors that may contribute to these potential situations include: (1) amount of outstanding policy debt at or near the maximum loan value; (2) unfavorable investment results affecting your policy account value; (3) increasing monthly policy charge rates due to increasing attained age of the insured; and (4) high or increasing amount of insurance risk, depending on death benefit option and changing account value.

Federal Income Tax Considerations

53

One example occurs when the policy debt limit is reached. If, using the previous example, the account value were to decrease to $14,000 due to unfavorable investment results, and the policy were to terminate because the policy debt limit is reached, the policy would terminate without any cash paid to you; but your taxable income from the policy at that time would be $4,000 ($14,000 account value minus $10,000 cost basis). The policy also may terminate without value if unpaid policy loan interest increases the outstanding policy debt to reach the policy debt limit.

To avoid policy terminations that may give rise to significant income tax liability, you may need to make substantial premium payments or loan repayments to keep your policy in force.

You can reduce the likelihood that these situations will occur by considering these risks before taking a policy loan. If you take a policy loan, you should monitor the status of your policy with your financial representative and your tax adviser at least annually, and take appropriate preventative action.

A change of the owner or the insured, or an exchange or assignment of the policy, may cause the owner to recognize taxable income.

We believe that, under current tax law, any loan taken under the policy will be treated as policy debt of the owner. If your policy is not a MEC, the loan will not be considered income to you when received.

Interest on policy loans used for personal purposes generally is not tax-deductible. However, you may be able to deduct this interest if the loan proceeds are used for “trade for business” or “investment” purposes, provided that you meet certain narrow criteria.

If the owner is a corporation or other business, additional restrictions may apply. For example, there are limits on interest deductions available for loans against a business-owned policy. In addition, the IRC restricts the ability of a business to deduct interest on debt totally unrelated to any life insurance, if the business holds a cash value policy on the life of certain insureds. The alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) may apply to the gain accumulated in a policy held by a corporation. The corporate AMT may apply to a portion of the amount by which death benefits received exceed the policy’s net surrender value on the date of death.

The impact of federal income taxes on values under the policy and on the benefit to you or your beneficiary depends on MassMutual’s tax status and on the tax status of the individual concerned. We currently do not make any charge against the Separate Account for federal income taxes. We may make such a charge eventually in order to recover the future federal income tax liability to the Separate Account.

Federal estate and gift taxes, state and local estate taxes, and other taxes depend on the circumstances of each owner or beneficiary.

Investor Control. There are a number of tax benefits associated with variable life insurance policies. Gains on the net investment experience of the Separate Account are deferred until withdrawn or otherwise accessed, and gains on transfers among divisions of the Separate Account also are deferred. For these benefits to continue, the policy must continue to qualify as life insurance. In addition to other requirements, federal tax law dictates that the insurer, and not the policy owner, has control of the investments underlying the various divisions for the policy to qualify as life insurance.

You may make transfers among divisions of the Separate Account, but you may not direct the investments each division makes. If the IRS were to conclude that you, as the investor, have control over these investments, then the policy would no longer qualify as life insurance and you would be taxed on the gain in the policy as it is earned rather than when it is withdrawn or otherwise accessed.

The IRS has provided some guidance on investor control, but many issues remain unclear. One such issue is whether a policy owner can have too much investor control if the variable life policy offers a large number of investment divisions in which to invest account values. We do not know if the IRS will provide any further guidance on the issue. We do not know if any such guidance would apply retroactively to policies already in force.

Consequently, we reserve the right to further limit net premium allocations and transfers under the policy, so that it will not lose its qualification as life insurance due to investor control.

Modified Endowment Contracts. If a policy is a modified endowment contract (“MEC”) under federal tax law, loans, withdrawals, and other

Federal Income Tax Considerations

54

amounts distributed under the policy are taxable to the extent of any income accumulated in the policy. The policy income is the excess of the account value (both loaned and unloaned) over your cost basis. For example, if your cost basis in the policy is $10,000 and the account value is $15,000, then all distributions up to $5,000 (the accumulated policy income) are immediately taxable as income when withdrawn or otherwise accessed. The collateral assignment of a MEC is also treated as a taxable distribution. Death benefits paid under a MEC, however, are not taxed any differently than death benefits payable under other life insurance contracts.

If any amount is taxable as a distribution of income under a MEC, it will also be subject to a 10% penalty tax. There are a few exceptions to the additional penalty tax for distributions to individual owners. The penalty tax will not apply to distributions:

(i) made on or after the date the taxpayer attains age 59½; or

(ii) made because the taxpayer became disabled; or

(iii) made as part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments paid for the life or life expectancy of the taxpayer, or the joint lives or joint life expectancies of the taxpayer and the taxpayer’s beneficiary. These payments must be made at least annually.

A policy is a MEC if it satisfies the IRC definition of life insurance but fails the “7-pay test.” A policy fails this test if:

Ÿ the accumulated amount paid under the contract at any time during the first seven contract years

exceeds

Ÿ the total premiums that would have been payable at that time for a policy providing the same benefits guaranteed after the payment of seven level annual premiums.

A life insurance policy may pass the 7-pay test and still be taxed as a MEC if it is received in a IRC Section 1035 tax-deferred exchange for a MEC.

If certain changes are made to a policy, we will retest it to determine if it has become a MEC. For example, if you reduce the death benefit during a 7-pay testing period, we will retest the policy using the lower death benefit amount, from the start of that testing period. If the reduction in death benefit causes the policy to fail the 7-pay test for any prior policy year, the policy will be treated as a MEC beginning in the policy year in which the reduction takes place.

Any reduction in benefits attributable to the non-payment of premiums will not be taken into account if the benefits are reinstated within 90 days after the reduction in such benefit.

We will retest whenever there is a “material change” to the policy while it is in force. If there is a material change, a new 7-pay test period begins at that time. The term “material change” includes certain increases in death benefits.

Since the policy provides for flexible premium payments, we have procedures for determining whether increases in death benefits or additional premium payments cause the start of a new seven-year test period or cause the policy to become a MEC.

Once a policy fails the 7-pay test, loans and distributions taken in the year of failure and in future years are taxable as distributions from a MEC to the extent of gain in the policy. In addition, the IRS has authority to apply the MEC taxation rules to loans and other distributions received in anticipation of the policy’s failing the 7-pay test. The IRC authorizes the issuance of regulations providing that a loan or distribution, if taken within two years prior to the policy’s becoming a MEC, shall be treated as received in anticipation of failing the 7-pay test. However, such written authority has not yet been issued.

Under current circumstances, a loan, collateral assignment, or other distribution under a MEC may be taxable even though it exceeds the amount of income accumulated in that particular policy. For purposes of determining the amount of income received from a MEC, the law considers the total of all income in all the MECs issued within the same calendar year to the same owner by an insurer and its affiliates. Loans, collateral assignments, and distributions from any one MEC are taxable to the extent of this total income.

Qualified Plans. The policy may be used as part of certain tax-qualified and/or ERISA employee benefit plans. Since the rules concerning the use of a policy with such plans are complex, you should not use the policy in this way until you have consulted a competent tax adviser. You may not

Federal Income Tax Considerations

55

use the policy as part of an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or as part of a Tax-Sheltered Annuity (TSA) or Section 403(b) custodial account.

While the policy is owned by the qualified plan, we will only pay amounts under the policy while the insured is still living (e.g., withdrawals, surrenders, and loans) to the qualified plan trustee or plan administrator. We will not make such payments directly to any other party, including the insured participant. The only exception is for a Keogh plan, where the insured participant is also the policy owner.

Payments to Nonresident Aliens. Generally, a taxable distribution from a policy paid to a nonresident alien is subject to federal income tax at a rate of 30% of the amount of taxable income that is distributed. We are required to withhold this 30% tax and send it to the Internal Revenue Service.

A “nonresident alien” is a person who is not a U.S. citizen and who is not a U.S. resident (based on either the “green card” or “substantial presence” test). A payment is treated as paid to a nonresident alien even if it is deposited into a U.S. bank account owned by a nonresident alien.

Some distributions to nonresident aliens may be subject to a lower tax rate (or to no tax) if a U.S. income tax treaty with the payee’s country of residence provides for lower rate of U.S. tax or for no tax. To obtain the benefit of any reduced tax allowed by a treaty, the nonresident alien must claim the treaty benefit by providing us with a Form W8-BEN containing:

(1) proof of residency (in accordance with Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) requirements); and

(2) an IRS individual taxpayer identification number (“ITIN”).

If the nonresident alien does not satisfy all of these conditions, we will withhold 30% of the taxable portion of the distribution.

Other Policy Rights and Limitations

Right to Assign the Policy

Generally, you may assign the policy as collateral for a loan or other obligation. For any assignment to be binding on us, however, we must receive a signed copy of it at our Administrative Office. We are not responsible for the validity of any assignment.

Your Voting Rights

You have the right to instruct us how to vote on questions submitted to the shareholders of the funds supporting the policy. This right is limited to the extent you have invested in those divisions.

Your right to instruct us is based on the number of shares of the funds attributable to your policy. The number of shares of any fund, attributable to your policy, is determined by dividing the account value held in that division by $100. Fractional votes are counted.

You will receive proxy material and a form to complete giving us voting instructions. We vote those shares for which we do not receive instructions in the same proportion as the shares for which we do receive instructions.

Suitability

According to federal securities law, a registered representative is required to recommend a security only when the representative believes that the security is suitable for the customer.

Variable life insurance policies are complex insurance products with unique benefits if the policy remains in force. Before you purchase a variable life insurance policy, you should consider whether among other things:

Ÿ You have a need for death benefit protection;

Ÿ You understand the risks and benefits of the policy;

Ÿ You can afford to pay the applicable policy charges to keep the policy in force;

Ÿ You understand how the policy charges impact your policy’s account value;

Ÿ You understand your account value will fluctuate when allocated to the Separate Account;

Ÿ You understand that the Company prohibits market timing and frequent transfers;

Ÿ You understand that you generally have no access to your account value in the first year;

Ÿ You understand whether your registered representative will receive more compensation for selling this life insurance policy rather than another;

Ÿ You understand that if you are older, the following features of a variable life insurance policy will more likely disadvantage you: 1) the limitations on account value access; and 2) the impact of account value fluctuations on variable death benefit options.

Deferral of Payments

Federal laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering might, in certain circumstances, require us to block a Policy Owner’s ability to make certain transactions and thereby refuse to accept any request for transfers, withdrawals, surrenders, or death benefits, until the instructions are received from the appropriate regulator. We may also be required to provide additional information about you and your contract to government regulators.

Delay of Payment of Proceeds from the GPA

We may delay payment of any net surrender values, withdrawals, and loan proceeds that are based on the GPA for up to six months from the date the request is received at our Administrative Office.

If we delay payment of a surrender or withdrawal for 30 days or more, we add interest to the date of payment at the same rate it is paid under the interest payment option.

Other Information

57

Delay of Payment of Proceeds from the Separate Account

We can delay payment of the net surrender value or any withdrawal or loan from the Separate Account during any period when:

i. it is not reasonably practical to determine the amount because the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary week-end and holiday closings);

ii. trading is restricted by the SEC;

iii. the SEC declares an emergency exists; and

iv. the SEC, by order, permits us to delay payment in order to protect our owners.

Reservation of Company Rights to Change the Policy or Separate Account

Separate Account Changes

We reserve the right to make certain material changes to the Separate Account. Specifically, we reserve the rights to:

Ÿ create new divisions of the Separate Account;

Ÿ create new Separate Accounts and new segments;

Ÿ combine any two or more Separate Account segments or divisions;

Ÿ make available additional or alternative divisions of the Separate Account investing in additional investment companies;

Ÿ invest the assets of the Separate Account in securities other than shares of the funds. These securities can be substitutes for fund shares already purchased or they can apply only to future purchases;

Ÿ operate the Separate Account as a management investment company under the 1940 Act or in any other form permitted by law;

Ÿ de-register the Separate Account under the 1940 Act in the event such registration is no longer required;

Ÿ substitute one or more funds for other funds with similar investment objectives;

Ÿ delete funds or close funds to future investments, and

Ÿ change the name of the Separate Account.

We have reserved all rights to the name Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company or any part of it. We may allow the Separate Account and other entities to use our name or part of it, but we may also withdraw this right.

As a result of changes in applicable laws, regulations or variable investment divisions offered under the policy, we may exercise one or more of the rights listed above. If we exercise any of these rights, we will receive prior approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission, if necessary. We will also give you notice of our intent to exercise any of these rights.

Distribution

MML Distributors, LLC (“MML Distributors”), a limited liability corporation, is the principal underwriter of the policy. MML Distributors is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is a member of the NASD. MML Distributors is a subsidiary of MassMutual. Pursuant to an Underwriting and Servicing Agreement, MML Distributors receives compensation for its activities as underwriter for the policy.

Both registered representatives of MML Investors Services, Inc. (“MMLISI”), a subsidiary of MassMutual, and registered representatives of other broker-dealers who have entered into distribution agreements with MML Distributors (“Broker-Dealers”) sell the policy. Such registered representatives are also licensed insurance agents.

MassMutual also contracts with Broker-Dealers who act as Wholesalers and who may assist in finding other Broker-Dealers to offer and sell the policies. Wholesalers may provide training, marketing and other sales-related functions to Broker-Dealers and their registered representatives. Wholesalers may also provide certain administrative services to MassMutual in connection with the policies (collectively referred to as “Services”). Some Wholesalers are also Broker-Dealers, authorized on their own behalf to sell the policy. MassMutual (through MML Distributors) compensates these Wholesalers for the Services.

Commissions and Allowances Paid to MMLISI and Broker-Dealers

Commissions are paid to MMLISI and all Broker-Dealers who sell the policy. MassMutual pays commissions for policies sold by MMLISI registered representatives through MMLISI to those registered representatives. MassMutual pays

58

commissions for policies sold by registered representatives of other Broker-Dealers through MML Distributors to those Broker-Dealers.

Commissions are based on certain commission schedules and rules. Commissions are a percentage of the premium paid in each year of coverage and differ for premiums paid up to the Target Premium and for premiums paid in excess of the Target Premium. The Target Premium is based on the issue age, gender and risk classification of the insured. We also pay a renewal commission after the first policy year that is a percentage of the average monthly account value for the policies.

We also pay expense reimbursement and other allowances in connection with the sales of the policies.

The Statement of Additional Information contains more detail on the maximum commission percentages and allowances payable under the policy.

Wholesaler Compensation

MassMutual pays commissions and allowances to Wholesalers who are Broker-Dealers, authorized to sell the policies on their own behalf. MassMutual pays allowances to Wholesalers who are Broker-Dealers who provide Services to other Broker-Dealers in connection with the sales of the policies. MassMutual may also pay compensation to the Wholesaler in the event that the Target Premium for all life insurance products credited to the Wholesaler equals or exceeds preset Target Premium thresholds in certain years (“Progressive Compensation”). The Progressive Compensation payment schedule may vary for specific Wholesalers.

The Target Premium for Wholesalers referenced in this section is premium paid for all MassMutual life insurance products credited to the Wholesaler including traditional whole life, term, and universal life insurance policies as well as variable life insurance policies.

The Statement of Additional Information contains more detail on the maximum Wholesaler Compensation payable under the policy.

Additional Compensation Paid to MMLISI

Most MMLISI registered representatives are also MassMutual insurance agents, and as such, are eligible for certain cash and non-cash benefits from MassMutual. Cash compensation includes bonuses and allowances based on factors such as sales, productivity and persistency. Non-cash compensation includes various recognition items such as prizes and awards as well as attendance at, and payment of the costs associated with attendance at, conferences, seminars and recognition trips. Sales of this policy may help these registered representatives and their supervisors qualify for such benefits. MMLISI registered representatives who are also General Agents or sales managers of MassMutual also may receive overrides, allowances and other compensation that is based on sales of the policy by their registered representatives.

Additional Compensation Paid to Broker-Dealers and Wholesalers

In addition to the commissions described above, MassMutual may make cash payments to certain Broker-Dealers or Wholesalers to attend the Broker-Dealer’s or Wholesaler’s sales conferences and educational seminars, thereby promoting awareness of our products. The Broker-Dealer or Wholesaler may use these payments for any reason, including helping offset the costs of the conference or educational seminar.

Broker-Dealers and Wholesalers may receive overrides, allowances and other compensation that is based on sales of the policy by their registered representatives. We may also pay Wholesalers and Broker-Dealers compensation pursuant to marketing service agreements. These marketing service arrangements vary depending on a number of factors, including the specific level of Wholesale support being provided. These payments are not made in connection with the sale of specific policies.

This additional compensation is not offered to all Wholesalers and Broker-Dealers and the terms of these arrangements may differ. Any such compensation will be paid by MassMutual out of our assets and will not result in any additional direct charge to you. Such payments may give us greater access to the registered representatives of the Broker-Dealers who place business through Wholesalers that receive such compensation and may influence the way that a Broker-Dealer or Wholesaler markets the policy.

Compensation in General

The compensation arrangements described in the paragraphs above may provide a registered representative with an incentive to sell this policy over other available policies whose issuers do not provide such compensation or which provide lower levels of compensation. You may want to take these compensation arrangements into account when evaluating any recommendations regarding this policy.

We intend to recoup a portion of the cash and non-cash compensation payments that we make through the assessment of certain charges described in this prospectus, including the contingent deferred sales charge. We may also use some of the 12b-1 distribution fee payments and other payments that we receive from certain funds to help us make these cash and non-cash payments.

You may contact, as applicable, MMLISI, your Broker-Dealer or registered representative to find out more information about the compensation they may receive in connection with your purchase of a policy.

Legal Proceedings

We are involved in litigation arising in and out of the normal course of business, including purported class action suits, which seek both compensatory and punitive damages. In addition, we are engaged in litigation related to the termination of our former Chief Executive Officer in June 2005. Further, we, along with several other defendants, have been named in an adversary proceeding in the Enron bankruptcy. While we are not aware of any actions or allegations that should reasonably give rise to a material adverse impact to our financial position or liquidity, the outcome of litigation cannot be foreseen with certainty. It is the opinion of management that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not materially impact our financial position or liquidity. The outcome of a particular proceeding may be material to our operating results for a particular period depending upon, among other factors, the size of the loss or liability and the level of our income for the period.

In 2005, we received final approval of a nationwide class action settlement resolving litigation proceedings involving alleged sales practices claims. The settlement class includes all policyholders, with certain limited exceptions, who have or had an ownership interest in permanent life policies, term life policies or disability income policies issued between January 1, 1983 and December 31, 2003. The settlement agreement resulted in the establishment of a liability of approximately $268 million in 2004. This estimated amount represents the cost to us of the settlement including related expenses. As of December 31, 2005, we have paid $81 million of the original estimated liability of $268 million, resulting in a remaining estimated liability of approximately $187 million.

We are subject to governmental and administrative proceedings and regulatory investigations in the ordinary course of its business. We have cooperated fully with these regulatory agencies with regard to their investigations and has responded to information requests and comments.

These investigations include industry-wide investigations of issues such as (a) late trading and market timing in connection with mutual funds and variable insurance contracts, (b) revenue sharing, and (c) compensation and bidding arrangements and possible anti-competitive activities between insurance producers and brokers and issuers of insurance products. In connection with these investigations, we have been contacted by various regulatory agencies and state attorneys general including the Securities and Exchange Commission, National Association of Securities Dealers, Commonwealth of Massachusetts Division of Insurance, State of Connecticut Insurance Department, and the Attorneys General of Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York.

We believe that it is reasonable to expect that regulatory inquiries and investigations into the financial services industry will continue for the foreseeable future and may result in new industry-wide legislation, rules, and regulations that could significantly affect the financial services industry as a whole. It is the opinion of management that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not materially impact our financial position or liquidity. The outcome of a particular matter may be material to our operating results for a particular period depending upon, among other factors, the size of the matter and the level of our income for the period.

Appendix A

Following are hypothetical examples of how the guaranteed death benefit (GDB) safety test works. Example 1 represents a situation where there is no outstanding policy loan. Examples 2a thru 2c represent situations where there is outstanding policy debt.

These examples are provided for illustrative purposes only and are in no way representative of actual policy values.

Example #1 ~ Meeting the GDB safety test when there is no policy debt:

Assume the following:

Ÿ It is the policy’s sixth monthly charge date;

Ÿ You have no policy debt;

Ÿ No withdrawals have been made;

Ÿ The monthly charges are $100;

Ÿ Your policy’s GPA value is $50;

Ÿ The minimum monthly premium is $20;

Ÿ Beginning on the policy date you have made premium payments of $20 on each monthly charge date;

Ÿ The GDB measure equals 75, and

Ÿ The monthly GDB factors total 70.

In the initial no lapse period, the monthly charges will be reduced to $50, the policy’s GPA value is reduced to zero, and the policy will stay in force because:

a. The GDB measure exceeds the total GDB factors on that monthly charge date, and

b. The minimum monthly premium requirement (see Guaranteed Death Benefit Safety Test section) has been met.

Therefore, the safety test has been met.

After the policy’s initial no lapse period, it would still stay in force because the GDB measure is greater than the total GDB factors on that date.

Example #2a ~ Meeting the safety test when there is an existing policy loan, but accrued interest is not yet due and the policy has not exceeded its debt limit:

Assume the following:

Ÿ The policy is in the first month of the 11th policy year;

Ÿ You have policy debt of $2,000;

Ÿ The surrender charges are $135;

Ÿ The monthly charges are $200*;

Ÿ Your policy’s account value is $2,160;

Ÿ The non-loaned GPA value is $75;

Ÿ The variable account value is $85;

Ÿ The minimum no lapse monthly premium is $20;

Ÿ Beginning on the policy date you have made premium payments of $40 on each monthly charge date;

Ÿ The GDB measure equals 75, and

Ÿ The monthly GDB factors total 70.

In the initial no lapse period, the monthly charges will be reduced to $75 (the non-loaned value of the GPA) and the policy will stay in force because:

a. The GDB measure exceeds the total GDB factors on that date, and

b. The minimum monthly premium requirement (see Guaranteed Death Benefit Safety Test section) has been met.

Therefore the safety test is met, and

c. Policy debt ($2,000) does not exceed the policy debt limit (in this case the account value, $2,160).

After the policy’s initial no lapse period, it would still stay in force because the GDB measure is greater than the total GDB factors on that date and the policy’s debt limit has not been reached.

* If the monthly charges are less than the policy’s non-loaned account value (in this case $160), then (b) does not apply.

Appendix A

Example 2b ~ Meeting the safety test when there is policy debt (which includes accrued interest) that does not exceed the policy’s debt limit:

Assume the following:

Ÿ It is the policy’s 11th policy anniversary;

Ÿ You have an existing policy loan of $2,000;

Ÿ You have accrued loan interest of $80 that is due and, instead of paying the interest, it is added to your policy loan;

Ÿ The surrender charges are $135;

Ÿ The monthly charges are $300*;

Ÿ Your policy’s account value is $2,260;

Ÿ The non-loaned GPA value is $75;

Ÿ The variable account value is $185;

Ÿ The minimum no lapse monthly premium is $20;

Ÿ Beginning on the policy date you have made premium payments of $40 on each monthly charge date;

Ÿ The GDB measure equals 75, and

Ÿ The monthly GDB factors total 70.

In this case, $80 of your variable account value will be transferred to the loaned portion of the policy’s GPA to pay the accrued loan interest, increasing policy debt to $2,080.

In the initial no lapse period, the monthly charges will be reduced to $75 (the non-loaned portion of the GPA) and the policy will stay in force because:

a. The GDB measure exceeds the total GDB factors on that date;

b. The minimum monthly premium requirement (see Guaranteed Death Benefit Safety Test section) has been met, and

c. Policy debt ($2,080) does not exceed the policy debt limit (in this case the account value, $2,260).

After the policy’s initial no lapse period, it would still stay in force because the GDB measure is greater than the total GDB factors on that date and the policy’s debt limit has not been reached.

* If the monthly charges are less than the policy’s non-loaned account value (in this case $260), then (b) does not apply.

Example 2c ~ Meeting the safety test when there is policy debt (which includes accrued interest) that has exceeded the policy debt limit:

Assume the following:

Ÿ It is the policy’s 11th policy anniversary;

Ÿ You have an existing policy loan of $2,500;

Ÿ You have accrued loan interest of $100 that is due and, instead of paying the interest, it is added to your policy loan;

Ÿ The surrender charges are $135;

Ÿ The monthly charges are $100;

Ÿ Your policy’s account value is $2,550;

Ÿ The non-loaned GPA value is $25;

Ÿ The variable account value is $25;

Ÿ The minimum no lapse monthly premium is $20;

Ÿ Beginning on the policy date you have made premium payments of $50 on each monthly charge date;

Ÿ The GDB measure equals 100, and

Ÿ The monthly GDB factors total 70.

In this case, $100 of your unloaned account value should be transferred to the loaned portion of the policy’s GPA to pay the accrued loan interest, which would increase policy debt to $2,600. In this situation:

a. The GDB measure exceeds the total GDB factors on that date, and

b. The minimum monthly premium requirement (see Guaranteed Death Benefit Safety Test section) has been met.

However, because there is insufficient value in the unloaned account value (the non-loaned GPA and the variable account values) to satisfy the interest payment, policy debt ($2,600) exceeds the policy debt limit (in this case the account value of $2,550), therefore, although your policy has satisfied the GDB safety test, it will enter the grace period.

Hypothetical Examples of the Impact of the Account Value, Guaranteed Principal Account (GPA) Value, and Premiums on the Policy Death Benefit

Example I ~ Death Benefit Option 1

Assume the following:

Ÿ Face amount is $1,000,000

Ÿ Account value is $50,000

Ÿ Minimum death benefit is $219,000

Ÿ No policy debt

Based on these assumptions,

Ÿ the death benefit is $1,000,000.

If the account value increases to $80,000 and the minimum death benefit increases to $350,400,

Ÿ the death benefit remains at $1,000,000.

If the account value decreases to $30,000 and the minimum death benefit decreases to $131,400,

Ÿ the death benefit still remains at $1,000,000.

Example II ~ Death Benefit Option 2

Assume the following:

Ÿ Face amount is $1,000,000

Ÿ Account value is $50,000

Ÿ Minimum death benefit is $219,000

Ÿ No policy debt

Based on these assumptions,

Ÿ the death benefit is $1,050,000 (face amount plus account value).

If the account value increases to $80,000 and the minimum death benefit increases to $350,400,

Ÿ the death benefit will increase to $1,080,000.

If the account value decreases to $30,000 and the minimum death benefit decreases to $131,400,

Ÿ the death benefit will decrease to $1,030,000.

Example III ~ Death Benefit Option 3

Assume the following:

Ÿ Face amount is $1,000,000

Ÿ Account value is $50,000

Ÿ Minimum death benefit is $219,000

Ÿ No policy debt

Ÿ Premiums paid under the policy to-date total $40,000

Based on these assumptions,

Ÿ the death benefit is $1,040,000 (face amount plus premiums paid).

If you pay an additional $30,000 of premium and the account value increases to $80,000 and the minimum death benefit increases to $350,400,

Ÿ the death benefit will increase to $1,070,000.

Example IV ~ Death Benefit Option 4

Assume the following:

Ÿ Face amount is $1,000,000

Ÿ Account value is $50,000

Ÿ GPA value is $30,000

Ÿ Minimum death benefit is $219,000

Ÿ No policy debt

Ÿ Premiums paid under the policy to-date total $40,000

Based on these assumptions,

Ÿ the death benefit is $1,020,000 (face amount plus account value minus GPA value).

If the account value increases to $80,000, the GPA value increases to $40,000, and the minimum death benefit increases to $350,400,

Ÿ the death benefit will increase to $1,040,000.

If the account value decreases to $30,000, the GPA value decreases to $10,000, and the minimum death benefit decreases to $131,400,

Ÿ the death benefit will decrease to $1,020,000.

Appendix C

Hypothetical Examples of Death Benefit Option Changes

Example I ~ Change from Option 1 to Option 2

For a change from option 1 to option 2, the face amount will be decreased by the amount of the account value on the effective date of the change.

For example, if the policy has a face amount of $700,000 and an account value of $25,000, under option 1 the death benefit is equal to the face amount, or $700,000. If you change from option 1 to option 2, the death benefit under option 2 is equal to the face amount plus the account value. Since the death benefit does not change as the result of a death benefit option change, the face amount will be decreased by $25,000 to $675,000, and the death benefit under option 2 after the change will remain $700,000.

Example II ~ Change from Option 2 to Option 1

For a change from option 2 to option 1, the face amount is increased by the amount of the account value on the effective date of the change.

For example, if the policy has a face amount of $500,000 and an account value of $25,000, the death benefit under option 2 is equal to the face amount plus the account value, or $525,000. If you change from option 2 to option 1, the death benefit under option 1 is equal to the policy face amount. Since the death benefit under the policy does not change as the result of a death benefit option change, the face amount will be increased from $500,000 under option 2 to $525,000 under option 1 and the death benefit after the change will remain at $525,000.

Example III ~ Change from Option 1 to Option 3

For a change from option 1 to option 3, the face amount will be decreased by the amount of the premiums paid to the effective date of the change.

For example, if the policy has a face amount of $700,000 and premiums paid to-date are $30,000, the death benefit under option 1 is equal to the face amount, or $700,000. If you change from option 1 to option 3, the death benefit under option 3 is equal to the face amount plus the premiums paid to date. Since the death benefit under the policy does not change as the result of a death benefit option change, the face amount will be decreased from $700,000 under option 1 to $670,000 under option 3 and the death benefit after the change will remain at $700,000.

Example IV ~ Change from Option 3 to Option 1

For a change from option 3 to option 1, the face amount is increased by the amount of the premiums paid to the effective date of the change.

For example, if the policy has a face amount of $500,000, and premium payments of $12,000 have been made to-date, the death benefit under option 3 is equal to the face amount plus the premiums paid, or $512,000. If you change from option 3 to option 1, the death benefit under option 1 is equal to the face amount. Since the death benefit under the policy does not change as the result of a death benefit option change, the face amount will be increased from $500,000 under option 3 to $512,000 under option 1 and the death benefit after the change will remain at $512,000.

Appendix C

64

Example V ~ Change from Option 1 to Option 4

For a change from option 1 to option 4, the face amount is decreased by the amount of the account value minus the unloaned portion of the GPA value on the effective date of the change.

For example, if the policy has a face amount of $500,000, an account value of $25,000, and a GPA value of $10,000, the death benefit under option 1 is equal to the face amount, or $500,000. If you change from option 1 to option 4, the death benefit under option 4 is equal to the policy face amount, plus the account value, minus the GPA value. Since the death benefit under the policy does not change as the result of a death benefit option change, the face amount will be decreased from $500,000 under option 1 to $485,000 under option 4 and the death benefit after the change will remain at $500,000.

Example VI ~ Change from Option 4 to Option 1

For a change from option 4 to option 1, the face amount is increased by the amount of the account value minus the unloaned portion of the GPA value on the effective date of the change.

For example, if the policy has a face amount of $500,000, an account value of $25,000, and a GPA value of $10,000, the death benefit under option 4 is equal to the face amount, plus the account value, minus the GPA value, or $515,000. If you change from option 4 to Option 1, the death benefit under option 1 is equal to the policy face amount. Since the death benefit under the policy does not change as the result of a death benefit option change, the face amount will be increased from $500,000 under option 4 to $515,000 under option 1 and the death benefit after the change will remain at $515,000.

Example VII ~ Change from Option 2 to Option 3, or from Option 3 to Option 2

For a change from option 2 to option 3 or from option 3 to option 2, the face amount is changed (increased or decreased) by the difference between the account value and the premiums paid to-date.

For example, if the policy has a face amount of $1,000,000 and an account value of $70,000 and premiums paid of $25,000, the death benefit under option 2 is equal to the face amount plus the account value, or $1,070,000. If you change from option 2 to option 3, the death benefit under option 3 is equal to the face amount plus the premiums paid to-date. Since the death benefit under the policy does not change as the result of a death benefit option change, the face amount will be increased by the difference between the account value and the premiums paid, or $45,000, to $1,045,000 under option 3, maintaining a death benefit of $1,070,000. A similar type of change would be made for a change from option 3 to option 2.

Example VIII ~ Change from Option 2 to Option 4, or from Option 4 to Option 2

For a change from option 2 to option 4 or from option 4 to option 2, the face amount is changed (increased or decreased) by the unloaned portion of the GPA value as of the date of the change.

For example, if the policy has a face amount of $1,000,000, an account value of $70,000, and a GPA value of $25,000, the death benefit under option 2 is equal to the face amount plus the account value, or $1,070,000. If you change from option 2 to option 4, the death benefit under option 4 is equal to the face amount plus the account value minus the GPA value as of the date of the change. Since the death benefit under the policy does not change as the result of a death benefit option change, the face amount will be increased by the GPA value, to $1,025,000 under option 4, maintaining a death benefit of $1,070,000. A similar type of change would be made for a change from option 4 to option 2.

Appendix C

65

Example IX ~ Change from Option 3 to Option 4, or from Option 4 to Option 3

For a change from option 3 to option 4 or from option 4 to option 3, the face amount is changed (increased or decreased) by the difference between the premiums paid to date and the account value minus the unloaned portion of the GPA value as of the date of the change.

For example, if the policy has a face amount of $1,000,000, an account value of $70,000, a GPA value of $25,000, and premiums paid to date of $40,000, the death benefit under option 3 is equal to the face amount plus premiums paid to date, or $1,040,000. If you change from option 3 to option 4, the death benefit under option 4 is equal to the face amount plus the account value minus the unloaned portion of the GPA value as of the date of the change. Since the death benefit under the policy does not change as the result of a death benefit option change, the face amount will be decreased by the difference between the premiums paid to date and the account value minus the GPA value, to $995,000 under option 4, maintaining a death benefit of $1,040,000. A similar type of change would be made for a change from option 4 to option 3.

COMPANY

In this Statement of Additional Information, “The Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (“MassMutual”). MassMutual is a diversified financial services company providing life insurance, long-term care insurance, annuities, disability income insurance, structured settlements, retirement and other products to individual and institutional customers. The Company is organized as a mutual life insurance company. MassMutual’s home office is located at 1295 State Street, Springfield, Massachusetts 01111-0001.

THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT

The Company’s Board of Directors established the Separate Account on July 13, 1988, as a separate investment account of MassMutual. It was established based on the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a unit investment trust under the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

SERVICES

Custodian

The Company holds title to the assets of the Separate Account. The Company maintains the records and accounts relating to the Separate Account, the segment, and the divisions.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE OPERATION OF

THE CONTRACTS AND THE REGISTRANT

Purchase of Shares in Underlying Investment Funds

Shares are purchased and redeemed at net asset value. Fund dividends and capital gain distributions are automatically reinvested, unless the Company, on behalf of the Separate Account, elects otherwise.

Because the underlying funds are also offered in variable annuity contracts, it is possible that conflicts could arise between the owners of variable life insurance policies and the owners of variable annuity contracts. If a conflict exists the fund’s board will notify the insurers and take appropriate action to eliminate the conflict.

Guaranteed Death Benefit Measure

The guaranteed death benefit measure is a reference measure used to determine whether or not the GDB safety test is met on each monthly charge date. It will not determine the policy’s account value or its death benefit. It will, however, track deposits to and withdrawals from the non-loaned GPA, but may not equal the non-loaned GPA value.

The GDB measure is equal to:

• net premiums allocated to the GPA, plus

• amounts transferred into the non-loaned GPA from the Separate Account, minus

• amounts transferred or withdrawn from the non-loaned GPA, minus

• surrender charges deducted from the GPA, minus

• loans and loan interest attributed to the GPA, minus

• the total of all prior GDB monthly factors taken for this policy, plus

• repaid loans attributed to the GPA, plus

• interest credited to the GPA as a result of policy loans, plus

• interest on the above amounts credited at the GDBM interest rate.

The GDBM interest rate used will be the daily equivalent of the GDBM interest rate listed in the policy specifications.

Guaranteed Death Benefit Factors

The GDB factors are used only in determining the GDB measure; they do not impact the policy’s account value. The GDB factors reduce the GDB measure on each monthly charge date prior to the insured’s attained age 100, and on the date we receive premium needed to avoid termination. There are three GDB factors:

1. The GDB monthly face amount factor which is the policy’s face amount, divided by 1000, and multiplied by the GDB monthly face amount factor listed in the policy specifications.

2. The GDB monthly insurance factor and the GDBM risk are described in detail in the policy. Generally, the GDB monthly insurance factor is calculated by multiplying the GDBM risk by the applicable per-thousand monthly GDB factor. A table of GDB monthly insurance factors per thousand of GDBM risk is included in the policy specifications.

If there are two or more tables of per-thousand GDB monthly insurance factors, the GDBM risk will be allocated to each table in proportion to the face amount allocated to that table relative to the policy’s total face amount.

3. Any applicable GDB rider factors which are described in any rider attached to your policy.

The GDB face amount factor, rider factor, and per 1,000 monthly GDB factor are established when the policy is issued and cannot be changed.

Annual Reports

MassMutual maintains the records and accounts relating to the Separate Account, the segment and the divisions. Each year within the 30 days following the policy anniversary date, we will mail the policyowner a report showing:

i. The account value at the beginning of the previous policy year,

ii. All premiums paid since that time,

iii. All additions to and deductions from the account value during the year, and

iv. The account value, death benefit, net surrender value and policy debt as of the last policy anniversary.

This report may contain additional information if required by any applicable law or regulation.

Incidental Benefits

Benefits Available by Rider

The following additional benefits are available by rider. You must qualify for the additional benefits and, in most cases, you must request them. The additional benefits are subject to the terms of both the rider and the policy. The cost of any rider is deducted as part of the policy’s monthly charges. Riders for which we charge will also have a guaranteed death benefit factor associated with them that will be described in the rider. The guaranteed death benefit (“GDB”) factor is used in the calculation of the guarantee death benefit measure. If you choose to add a rider for which we charge, you may cancel it at any time upon written request. We may impose a one-time fee for some riders.

The terms and conditions of the riders may vary from state to state and they are subject to state availability.

2

Accelerated Death Benefit Rider. This rider advances to the owner a portion of the policy death benefit, when we receive proof, satisfactory to us, that the insured is terminally ill and is not expected to live more than 12 months. In return for the advance payment, a lien is placed on the policy, equal to the amount of benefit accelerated. Interest is not charged on the lien.

An accelerated benefit will be paid when the following requirements are met: (1) we receive the owner’s written request for payment of an accelerated death benefit under the policy, (2) we receive the insured’s written authorization to release medical records to us, (3) we receive the written consent to this request of any assignee and any irrevocable beneficiary under the policy, and (4) we receive proof, satisfactory to us, that the insured has a terminal illness as defined in the rider.

The amount of the death benefit under the policy that can be considered for acceleration is determined as of the acceleration date. The acceleration date is the first date on which all the requirements for acceleration, except any confirming examination that we may require, have been met.

After the accelerated benefit payment is made, this policy will remain in force and premiums and charges will continue in accordance with the policy provisions.

Benefits under the rider may be taxable. The owner should seek tax advice prior to requesting an accelerated death benefit payment.

The rider terminates on the date an accelerated benefit payment is made, or if the base policy terminates, or if the base policy matures, or the base policy is changed to a different policy on which the rider is not available, or two years before coverage under the policy is scheduled to terminate.

Where this rider is available, it is included automatically with the policy. We may charge a one-time processing fee, which will not exceed $250, if you elect to accelerate the policy’s death benefit payment.

Additional Insurance Rider. The rider provides term insurance on the life of the insured. The rider face amount is added to the policy face amount in determining the amount of benefit under the death benefit option in effect under the policy. The minimum initial rider face amount is $50,000.

The rider face amount may be increased or decreased. An increase requires evidence of insurability, and the increase must equal at least $15,000. No increase in the rider face amount will be permitted after the rider anniversary date nearest the insured’s 90^th birthday. After the first rider year, the rider face amount may be decreased by the owner’s written request. No rider face amount decrease will be permitted within one year following the effective date of any rider face amount increase or policy face amount increase.

Coverage under this rider may be fully or partially converted until the insured’s rider attained age is 70. Conversion will be to a new flexible premium adjustable variable life insurance on the insured or to an increase in the base policy’s face amount. Evidence of insurability will not be required. If coverage is partially converted, the amount converted must meet the minimum requirements of the new insurance.

The rider terminates at rider attained age 100. It terminates earlier upon:

· the end of the grace period for an unpaid premium under the policy; or

· termination of the policy; or

· change of the policy to a different policy on which the rider is not available; or

· conversion of all rider coverage.

This rider may also be cancelled by written request.

The monthly insurance charge for this rider is a rate per $1,000 of rider insurance risk plus a rate per $1,000 of rider face amount. The rider also has a GDB rider factor and a rider premium expense factor associated with it. The GDB rider factor is taken from the GDB measure on each monthly charge date prior to the rider expiration. Each month while this rider is in force, the GDB Rider factor is the sum of the GDB Monthly Rider Face Amount factor and the GDB Monthly Rider Insurance factor. The GDB Monthly Rider Face Amount factor is equal to the Rider Face Amount divided by 1000 then multiplied by the Monthly Rider Face Amount factor shown in the policy specifications pages for this rider. The monthly insurance factors per 1,000 of GDB measure rider risk are shown in the Table of Guaranteed Death Benefit Monthly Rider Insurance Factors in the rider’s policy specifications pages. The monthly insurance factors for the initial rider face amount and for each rider face amount increase will be shown in separate tables. The rider premium expense factor is also shown in the rider’s policy specifications pages.

Disability Benefit Rider. This rider provides a disability benefit while the insured is totally disabled as defined in the rider. The rider provides the following monthly benefits if the insured becomes totally disabled:

· On specific monthly charge dates, we will credit an amount to the account value equal to the specified benefit amount shown on the policy specification page for this rider. This amount will be treated as a net premium.

· We also will waive the monthly charges due for this policy on specific monthly charge dates.

The benefits will be provided after the insured has been totally disabled for four months and all conditions of the rider have been met. The amount of rider benefit that is allocated to the GPA will also be reflected in the GDB measure.

The benefits under the rider end upon any of the following events:

· once the insured is no longer totally disabled,

· satisfactory proof of continued disability is not provided to us as required,

· the insured refuses or fails to have an examination we require,

· for the credit of a monthly specified amount, the day before the insured’s attained age 65, and

· for waiver of monthly charges, the day before the insured’s attained age becomes 65 if total disability began when the insured’s attained age was 60 or older.

The amount of rider benefit that is allocated to the GPA will also be reflected in the GDB measure. If any rider benefit is allocated to the GPA and is less than the GDB monthly rider factors applicable to any policy month, however, the policy’s GDB monthly factors will be added to the GDB measure on that monthly charge date.

Proof of claim must be received at our Administrative Office within one year after the notice of claim was given to us.

3

There is a monthly charge for this rider based on both the specified benefit amount and the waiver of monthly charges. The charge rates are based on the attained age, gender, and risk class of the insured and on the benefits provided. The rider also has a GDB rider factor and a rider premium expense factor associated with it. The GDB rider factor is taken from the GDB measure on each monthly charge date prior to the rider expiration. The monthly rider factor is the sum of GDB waiver factor and the GDB specified benefit factor. The monthly rider waiver factors, specified benefit factors, and the rider premium expense factor are shown in the rider’s policy specifications pages.

Guaranteed Insurability Rider. This rider provides the right to increase the face amount of the policy without evidence of insurability on certain option dates as defined in the rider. A written application is required, however, to elect an increase in the face amount. The completed application and any premium payment needed for the increase must be received at our Administrative Office by the end of the option period.

The rider option amount is subject to a maximum limit of $125,000, or, if less, two times the face amount of the base policy on the effective date of an increase in the rider option amount.

The rider terminates:

· after the last option date as defined in the rider;

· following election of the last face amount increase that may be elected under the rider;

· if the policy is changed to another policy under which this rider is not available, or

· if the policy terminates.

There is a monthly charge for this rider. It is a rate per $1,000 of rider option amount. The rider also has a GDB rider factor and a rider premium expense factor associated with it. The GDB rider factor is taken from the GDB measure on each monthly charge date prior to the rider expiration. The monthly GDB rider factors per $1,000 of option amount are shown in the rider’s policy specifications pages. The rider premium expense factor is also shown in the rider’s policy specifications pages.

Other Insured Rider. This rider provides level term insurance on the life of the base policy insured or the insured’s spouse or child. The coverage for the insured under the rider is convertible for a limited amount of time.

While the policy insured is living and prior to the other insured’s attained age 70, the rider may be fully or partially converted to a flexible premium adjustable variable life policy offered at the time of conversion. The cost for the new policy will be based on the other insured’s attained age at the time of conversion. No evidence of insurability is required to convert the rider coverage.

If the insured under the rider is not the base policy insured, the rider may be converted upon the death of the insured (but only before attained age 70 of the other insured). Conversion upon the death of the base policy insured may be made at any time up to 90 days of the date we receive due proof of the base policy insured’s death.

If the other insured is the base policy insured, the rider continues past the insured’s age 100 without charge. If the other insured is not the base policy insured, the rider will terminate once the base policy insured attains age 100. If the other insured is older than the base policy insured, charges for the rider will cease once the other insured attains age 100 and the rider will terminate once the base insured reaches attained age 100.

The monthly charge for this rider is a rate per $1,000 of the rider face amount for the insured named in the rider. The rider also has a GDB rider factor and a rider premium expense factor associated with it. The GDB rider factor is taken from the GDB measure on each monthly charge date prior to the rider expiration. The monthly insurance factors per 1000 of GDB measure rider risk are shown in the Table of Guaranteed Death Benefit Monthly Rider Insurance Factors in the rider’s policy specifications pages. The rider premium expense factor is also shown in the rider’s policy specifications pages.

Substitute of Insured Rider. This rider allows you to substitute a new insured in place of the current insured under the policy without incurring surrender charges. A substitute of insured is allowed if the policy is in force, you have an insurable interest in the life of the substitute insured, the substitute insured must have been born on or before the policy date, the substitute insured is age 85 or younger on the date of the substitution, and the age of the substitute insured on the policy date is within the issue age range allowed for this policy on the policy date.

An application and evidence of insurability satisfactory to us is required for the substitute insured.

All monthly charges after the substitution of the insured will be based on the life and risk class of the substitute insured.

The rider terminates upon the current insured’s attained age 75, at the time of the exercise of the rider, if the policy is changed to a different policy under which the rider is not available, or if the policy terminates.

The rider is included automatically with the policy at no charge, however, before a substitution can become effective, we require payment of a $75 fee. The rider will not be added to a policy if the issue age of the base insured is older than attained age 74.

Substituting a new insured under the policy may have adverse tax consequences under the current federal tax law. Please consult your tax advisor.

Waiver of Monthly Charges Rider. Under this rider, we will waive the monthly charges due for the policy while the insured is totally disabled as defined in the rider.

The benefit will be provided once the insured has been totally disabled for four months and all the provisions of the rider have been met. The benefits will end when the insured is no longer totally disabled, satisfactory proof of continued total disability is not given to us as required, the insured refuses or fails to have an examination we require, or the day before the insured’s attained age 65 if the disability began when the insured was attained age 60 or older.

The amount of rider benefit that is allocated to the GPA will also be reflected in the GDB measure. If the rider benefit allocated to the GPA is less than the GDB monthly rider factors applicable to any policy month, however, the policy’s GDB monthly factors will be added to the GDB measure on that monthly charge date.

Proof of claim must be received at our Administrative Office within one year after the notice of claim was given to us.

There is a monthly charge for this rider. The waiver charge rate is based on the insured’s attained age, gender and risk class. The rider also has a GDB rider factor and a rider premium expense factor associated with it. The GDB rider factor is taken from the GDB measure on each monthly charge date prior to the rider expiration. The monthly rider factor is equal to the waiver factor for the insured’s attained age multiplied by the sum of the GDB monthly factors for the month, excluding the factor for this rider. The monthly rider factors and the rider premium expense factor are shown in the rider’s policy specifications pages.

Waiver of Specified Premium Rider. Under this rider we will credit the account value the greater of the monthly charges or a monthly specified premium amount designated by the policyowner at issue. The policy owner may select the monthly specified premium benefit amount, from 0 (zero) up to a maximum amount. When the specified premium benefit amount is credited to the account value, it is treated as net premium. In other words, it is not treated as a gross premium payment.

The amount of rider benefit that is allocated to the GPA will also be reflected in the GDB measure. If the rider benefit allocated to the GPA is less than the GDB monthly rider factors applicable to any policy month, however, the policy’s GDB monthly factors will be added to the GDB measure on that monthly charge date.

These benefits will be provided after the insured has been totally disabled for four months and all the provisions of the rider have been met. The benefits will end when:

· the insured is no longer totally disabled,

· satisfactory proof of continued total disability is not given to us as required,

· the insured refuses or fails to have an examination we require, or

· the day before the insured’s attained age becomes 65 if total disability began when the insured’s attained age was 60 or older.

If the disability began before the insured was attained age 60 and continues to attained age 65, the rider benefit after attained age 65 will be the monthly charges for this rider.

Proof of claim must be received at our Administrative Office within one year after the notice of claim was given to us.

There is a monthly charge for this rider. The waiver charge rate is based on the insured’s attained age, gender, and risk class. The rider also has a GDB rider factor and a rider premium expense factor associated with it. The GDB rider factor is taken from the GDB measure on each monthly charge date prior to the rider expiration. Each month while the rider is in force:

· If the sum of the GDB monthly factors, excluding the factor for this rider, is greater than the specified monthly premium, then the GDB monthly rider factor is equal to the waiver factor for the insured’s attained age multiplied by the sum of the GDB monthly factor for the month, excluding the factor for this rider.

· If the sum of the GDB monthly factors, excluding the factor for this rider, is less than or equal to the specified monthly premium, then the GDB monthly rider factor is equal to the specified monthly premium for that month multiplied by the specified benefit factor for the insured’s attained age.

The waiver factors, specified benefit factors, and the rider premium expense factor are shown in the rider’s policy-specifications pages.

Death Benefit Payment Options

We will pay the death benefit in a lump sum in either cash or deposit it to an interest bearing account with check writing ability. Alternatively, we may pay the death benefit under one or more of the following options if selected by the Policyowner. The minimum amount that can be applied under a payment option is $10,000. If the periodic payment under any option is less than $100, we reserve the right to make payments at less frequent intervals. None of these benefits depend on the performance of the Separate Account or the Guaranteed Principal Account.

Installments for a Specified Period Equal monthly payments for any period selected, up to 30 years. The amount of each payment depends on the total amount applied, the period selected, and the monthly income rates we are using when the first payment is due.

Life Income Equal monthly payments based on the life of a named person. Payments will continue for the lifetime of that person. You can elect income with or without a minimum payment period. This benefit may be increased by the Alternate Life Income provision.

Interest We will hold any amount applied under this option. We will pay interest on the amount at an effective annual rate determined by us. This rate will not be less than 3%.

Installments of a Specified Amount Fixed amount payments. The total amount paid during the first year must be at least 6% of the total amount applied. We will credit interest each month on the unpaid balance and add this interest to the unpaid balance. This interest will be an effective annual rate determined by us, but not less than 3%. Payments continue until the balance we hold is reduced to less than the agreed fixed amount. The last payment will be for the balance only.

Life Income with Payments Guaranteed for Amount Applied Equal monthly payments based on the life of a named person. We will make payments until the total amount paid equals the amount applied, whether the named person lives until all payments have been made or not. If the named person lives beyond the payments of the total amount applied, we will continue to make monthly payments as long as the named person lives. This benefit may be increased by the Alternate Life Income provision.

Joint Lifetime Income with Reduced Payments to Survivor Monthly payments based on the lives of two named persons. We will make payments at the initial level while both are living, or for 10 years if longer. When one dies (but not before the 10 years has elapsed), we will reduce the payments by one-third. Payments will continue at that level for the lifetime of the other. After the 10 years has elapsed, payments stop when both named persons have died. This benefit may be increased by the Alternate Life Income provision.

Alternate Life Income The named person(s) can elect to receive an alternate life income instead of receiving income based on the rates shown in the payment option rates tables. The election must be made at the time the income is to begin. The monthly alternate life income must be at least equal to the monthly income provided by a new single premium immediate annuity (first payment immediate) based on our published rates then in use when the payment option is elected. The alternate life income will not be available if we are not offering new single premium immediate annuities at the time of election.

UNDERWRITERS

MML Distributors, LLC (“MML Distributors”), 1295 State Street, Springfield, Massachusetts 01111-0001, is the principal underwriter of the policy. MML Distributors is registered with the SEC as a broker-dealer and is a member of the NASD. MML Distributors is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Depositor. MML Distributors receives compensation for its activities as the underwriter of the policy.

Pursuant to the Underwriting and Servicing Agreement, MML Distributors receives compensation for its activities as underwriter for the Separate Account. Compensation paid to and retained by MML Distributors in 2003 was $10,000. In 2004, the compensation was $133,058 and in 2005 it was $72,566.

The offering is on a continuous basis.

The compensation arrangements described in the paragraphs below may provide a registered representative with an incentive to sell this policy over other available policies whose issuers do not provide such compensation or which provide lower levels of compensation. You may want to take these compensation arrangements into account when evaluating any recommendations regarding this policy.

We intend to recoup a portion of the cash and non-cash compensation payments that we make through the assessment of certain charges described in the prospectus, including the contingent deferred sales charge. We may also use some of the 12b-1 distribution fee payments and other payments that we receive from certain funds to help us make these cash and non-cash payments.

Your representative typically receives a portion of the compensation that is payable to his Broker-Dealer, depending on the agreement between the representative and his firm. MassMutual is not involved in determining compensation paid to a registered representative of an unaffiliated Broker-Dealer. You may contact, as applicable, MMLISI, your Broker-Dealer or registered representative to find out more information about the compensation they may receive in connection with your purchase of a policy.

Commissions

We pay some commissions as a percentage of the premium paid in each year of coverage. The commissions distinguish between premiums paid up to the Target Premium and premiums paid in excess of the Target Premium. The Target Premium is based on the Issue Age, genders, and risk classification of the insured. We also pay commissions as a percentage of the average monthly account value in each Policy Year after the first Policy Year.

The maximum commission percentages we pay to MMLISI registered representatives and Broker-Dealers (including Wholesalers who are Broker-Dealers) are:

First Year Commission	Commission in Years 2-10	Commission in Years 11+
50% of premium paid up to the Target Premium and 2% of premium paid in excess of the Target Premium	5% of premium paid up to the Target Premium and 2% of premium paid in excess of the Target Premium	2% of premium paid up to the Target Premium and 2% of premium paid in excess of the Target Premium

For Policy Years 2 and beyond, we also pay a commission of 0.15% of the average monthly account value during the year after the first Policy Year.

Commissions and other allowances will be paid through MMLISI and MML Distributors to agents and selling brokers for selling the policy, VUL Guard. During May 1, 2003 (commencement of sales) through December 31, 2003, commissions, as defined in the prospectus, paid were $1,577,521. During January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004, commissions, as defined in the prospectus, paid were $4,494,489. During January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005, commissions, as defined in the prospectus, paid were $6,445,598.

Allowances/Overrides

MassMutual, through MML Distributors, pays expense reimbursement and other allowances in connection with the sale of the policies. The maximum allowance percentage we pay to Broker Dealers (who are not Wholesalers) is 96% of the first year commission.

The maximum allowance percentage we pay to Wholesalers is 99% of the first Policy Year commission. The maximum overrides we pay to Wholesalers are as follows: We pay Wholesalers 2% of premium paid up to the Target Premium in Policy Years 2-10, 0.67% of premium paid over the Target Premium in all Policy Years, and 0.01% of the average monthly account value during the year after the first Policy Year.

Most MMLISI registered representatives are also MassMutual insurance agents, and as such, are eligible for certain cash and non-cash benefits from MassMutual. Cash compensation includes bonuses and allowances based on factors such as sales, productivity and persistency.

Progressive Compensation

MassMutual may pay Progressive Compensation to Wholesalers for Services in the event that the Target Premium placed through the Wholesaler equals or exceeds preset Target Premium projections in certain years. The Progressive Compensation payment schedule for Wholesalers may vary for specific Wholesalers.

A Wholesaler may qualify for a maximum of 15% of Target Premium in the first Policy Year if the Wholesaler has typically produced more than $500,000 in Target Premium, which may be negotiated or eliminated. The maximum Progressive Compensation paid to a Wholesaler in subsequent Policy Years is as follows: 8% of Target Premium in Policy Year 2, 6% of Target Premium during Policy Years 3-5 and 2% of Target Premium during Policy Years 6-10.

The Target Premium includes premium paid for other MassMutual life insurance products placed through the Wholesaler including traditional whole life, term, and universal life insurance policies as well as variable life insurance policies.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT CHARGES

Sales Load

We deduct a premium expense charge from each premium payment you make. The deduction is taken before any premium is applied to the policy.

Underwriting Procedures

Before issuing a policy we will require evidence of insurability. This means that (1) you must complete an application and submit it to our Administrative Office, and (2) we will usually require that the insured have a medical examination. Acceptance is subject to our underwriting rules and we reserve the right to reject an application for any reason

Insurance charges will be determined on each policy anniversary based on our future expectations of such factors as mortality, expenses, interest, persistency and taxes. The insurance charge rate will not exceed those shown on the policy specifications pages, which are based on the 1980 Commissioners’ Standard Ordinary Mortality Table (1980 CSO), male or female (unisex rates may be required in some states), Nonsmoker or Smoker Table, age of the insured on their nearest birthday.

Special risk classes are used when mortality experience in excess of the standard risk classes is expected. These substandard risks will be charged a higher cost of insurance rate that will not exceed rates based on a multiple of 1980 CSO, male or female (unisex rates may be required in some situations), Nonsmoker or Smoker Table, and age of the insured on their nearest birthday plus any flat extra amount assessed. The multiple will be based on the insured’s substandard rating.

There are five non-rated classes: ultra preferred non-tobacco, select preferred non-tobacco; non-tobacco, select preferred tobacco, and tobacco.

Increases in Face Amount

A face amount increase is accomplished by issuing an additional insurance coverage segment. Each such segment has a distinct issue age, risk class, premium expense factor, premium expense charges, monthly charges, and surrender charges. Each segment will also have a GDB insurance factor and a GDB face amount factor associated with it. The associated GDB factors will be taken from the GDB measure on the monthly charge dates.

It is possible for risk classes of prior segments to change in order to match the risk classes of the new segment. This will happen only if the underwriter indicates that it should. The general rule is that if the new segment has risk classes worse than prior segments, then the prior segments will not change. Conversely, if the new segment has risk classes better than prior segments, then the prior segments will change. This change will not occur if the increase is due to a term conversion. Changing prior segments may impact the guideline premiums, MEC premiums and minimum death benefit under the Cash Value Accumulation Test.

The monthly policy level charges that repeat for each elected face amount increase are the face amount charge and the cost of insurance charge. Additionally, the GDB insurance factor and the GDB face amount factor will repeat. The administrative charge does not repeat. The premium expense charge and surrender charges also repeat. The charges associated with the increase will be deducted from the account value beginning on the effective date of the increase.

Premium payments received once an increase in face amount becomes effective will be allocated to each segment of the face amount. The premium allocation will be made on a pro rata basis using the premium expense factor for each segment. If the account value (or the net surrender value if there is policy debt) is insufficient to continue the changed policy in force for three months at the new monthly charges and interest, we may require a payment sufficient to increase the account value to such amount.

PERFORMANCE DATA

From time to time, we may report historical performance for the divisions of the Separate Account available under this policy. The investment performance figures are calculated using the actual historical performance of the investment options for the periods shown in the report. When applicable, the performance will include periods before the policy was available for sale.

The performance returns in these reports will reflect deductions for management fees and all other operating expenses of the underlying investment funds and an annual deduction for the asset charge. The returns will not reflect any deductions from premiums, monthly charges assessed against the account value of the policies, policy surrender charges, or other policy charges, which, if deducted, would reduce the returns.

From time to time, we may also report actual historical performance of the investment funds underlying each division of the Separate Account. These performance returns are determined by calculating what a $1 investment in the fund would have earned over the stated period of time.

These returns will reflect the fund operating expenses but they will not reflect the asset charge, any deductions from premiums, monthly charges assessed against the account value of the policies, policy surrender charges, or other policy charges. If these expenses and charges were deducted, the rates of return would be significantly lower.

The rates of return we report will not be illustrative of how actual investment performance will affect the benefits under the policy. Neither are they necessarily indicative of future performance. Actual rates may be higher or lower than those reported. You may, however, consider the rates of returns we report in assessing the competence and performance of the funds’ investment advisers.

We currently post investment performance reports for VUL Guard^SM on our Web site at www.massmutual.com. You can also request a copy of the most recent report from your personal financial representative or by calling our MassMutual Customer Service Center at 1-800-272-2216, Monday – Friday, 8 AM to 8 PM Eastern Time. Questions about the information in these reports should be directed to your personal financial representative.

We may also distribute sales literature comparing the divisions of the Separate Account to established market indices, such as the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index^® and the Dow Jones Industrial Average. These comparisons may show the percentage change in the net asset values of the funds or in the accumulation unit values. We also may make comparisons to the percentage change in values of other mutual funds with investment objectives similar to those of the divisions of the Separate Account being compared.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company and Policy Owners of Massachusetts Mutual Variable Life Separate Account I:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Massachusetts Mutual Variable Life Separate Account I (comprised of the divisions listed in Note 2) (collectively, “the Account”) as of December 31, 2005, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each year in the two-year period ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for each year in the three-year period ended December 31, 2003, were audited by other auditors whose report thereon dated February 23, 2005, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2005, by correspondence with the underlying mutual funds or their transfer agent. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Massachusetts Mutual Variable Life Separate Account I as of December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations, changes in its net assets, and financial highlights for each year in the two-year period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Massachusetts Mutual Variable Life Separate Account I

Notes To Financial Statements

1. ORGANIZATION

Massachusetts Mutual Variable Life Separate Account I (“Separate Account I”) is a separate investment account established on July 13, 1988, by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (“MassMutual”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 132G of Chapter 175 of the Massachusetts General Laws.

MassMutual maintains twelve segments within Separate Account I. The initial segment (“Variable Life Plus Segment”) is used exclusively for MassMutual’s flexible premium variable whole life insurance policy, known as Variable Life Plus.

On March 30, 1990, MassMutual established a second segment (“Large Case Variable Life Plus Segment”) within Separate Account I to be used exclusively for MassMutual’s flexible premium variable whole life insurance policy with table of selected face amounts, known as Large Case Variable Life Plus.

On July 5, 1995, MassMutual established a third segment (“Strategic Variable Life Segment”) within Separate Account I to be used exclusively for MassMutual’s flexible premium variable whole life insurance policy with table of selected face amounts, known as Strategic Variable Life^®.

On July 24, 1995, MassMutual established a fourth segment (“Variable Life Select Segment”) within Separate Account I to be used exclusively for MassMutual’s flexible premium variable whole life insurance policy, known as Variable Life Select.

On February 11, 1997, MassMutual established a fifth segment (“Strategic GVUL Segment”) within Separate Account I to be used exclusively for MassMutual’s group flexible premium adjustable life insurance policy with variable rider, known as Strategic Group Variable Universal Life^®.

On November 12, 1997, MassMutual established a sixth segment (“SVUL Segment”) within Separate Account I to be used exclusively for MassMutual’s survivorship flexible premium adjustable variable life insurance policy, known as Survivorship Variable Universal Life.

On November 12, 1997, MassMutual established a seventh segment (“VUL Segment”) within Separate Account I to be used exclusively for MassMutual’s flexible premium adjustable variable life insurance policy, known as Variable Universal Life.

On November 20, 2000, MassMutual established a tenth segment (“VUL II Segment”) within Separate Account I to be used exclusively for MassMutual’s flexible premium adjustable variable life insurance policy, known as Variable Universal Life II. The tiering of Accumulation Unit Values is a consequence of a tiered mortality and expense risk charge for the VUL II segment. The policy’s mortality and expense risk charge is based on the number of years the policy has been in force. During policy years 1 through 15, the policy is in Tier 1 and the current mortality and expense risk charge is 0.75% (with a maximum of 0.90%) of the policy’s average daily net assets held in Separate Account I. During policy years 16 and beyond, the policy is in Tier 2 and the current mortality and expense risk charge is 0.25% (with a maximum of 0.40%) of the policy’s average daily net assets held in Separate Account I.

On October 15, 2002, MassMutual established an eleventh segment (“VUL Guard^SM Segment”) within Separate Account I to be used exclusively for MassMutual’s flexible premium adjustable variable life insurance policy known as VUL Guard^SM. The tiering of Accumulation Unit Values is a consequence of a tiered asset charge for the VUL Guard^SM segment. The asset charge is based on the policy’s total account value on its monthly charge date and the number of years the policy

has been in force. The asset charge is assessed on the policy’s Separate Account value only. During policy years 1 through 15, (a) policies issued outside of the state of Maryland with a total account value of $0 to $49,999.99 are in Tier 1 and the current asset charge is 1.00% (with a maximum of 1.15%) of the average daily net assets held in Separate Account I, (b) policies with a total account value of $50,000.00 to $99,999.99 are in Tier 2 and the current asset charge is 0.75% (with a maximum of 0.90%) of the average daily net assets held in Separate Account I and (c) policies with a total account value of $100,000.00 or greater are in Tier 3 and the current asset charge is 0.50% (with a maximum of 0.65%) of the average daily net assets held in Separate Account I. In policy years 16 and beyond, regardless of the total account value, policies are in Tier 4 and the current (and maximum) asset charge is 0.50% of the policy’s average daily net assets held in Separate Account I. Note: policies issued in the state of Maryland, with a total account value of $0 to $49,999.99 have a current (and maximum) asset charge of 0.90% of the policy’s average daily net assets held in Separate Account I.

On March 30, 2004, MassMutual established a twelfth segment (“SVUL Guard^SM Segment”) within Separate Account I to be used exclusively for MassMutual’s survivorship flexible premium, adjustable, variable life insurance policy, known as Survivorship VUL Guard^SM. The tiering of Accumulation Unit Values is a consequence of a tiered asset charge for the SVUL Guard^SM segment. The asset charge is based on the policy’s total account value on its monthly charge date and the number of years the policy has been in force. The asset charge is assessed on the policy’s Separate Account value only. During policy years 1 through 15, (a) policies with a total account value of $0 to $49,999.99 are in Tier 1 and the current asset charge is 0.90% of the average daily net assets held in Separate Account I, (b) policies with a total account value of $50,000.00 to $99,999.99 are in Tier 2 and the current asset charge is 0.80% of the average daily net assets held in Separate Account I, and (c) policies with a total account value of $100,000.00 or greater are in Tier 3 and the current asset charge is 0.70% of the average daily net assets held in Separate Account I. In policy years 16 and beyond, regardless of the total account value, policies are in Tier 4 and the asset charge is 0.70% of the policy’s average daily net assets held in Separate Account I. The maximum asset charge in all policy years is 0.90% of the policy’s average daily net assets held in Separate Account I.

Variable Life Plus, Large Case Variable Life Plus, Variable Life Select, SVUL and VUL policies are no longer offered for sale. Policy owners may continue, however, to make premium payments under existing policies.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by Separate Account I in preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (hereinafter referred to as “generally accepted accounting principles”).

F-20

Notes To Financial Statements (Continued)

A. Investment Valuation

Investments in the investment divisions are valued at the closing net asset value per share of each of the respective underlying Funds/Portfolios, which value their investment securities at fair value.

B. Accounting for Investments

Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date and identified cost is the basis followed in determining the cost of investments sold for financial statement purposes. Dividend income and gains from realized gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date, and are reinvested in the underlying investment divisions.

C. Federal Income Taxes

MassMutual is taxed under federal law as a life insurance company under the provisions of the 1986 Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Separate Account I is part of MassMutual’s total operations and is not taxed separately. Separate Account I will not be taxed as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Under existing federal law, no taxes are payable on net investment income and net realized capital gains attributable to policies, which depend on Separate Account I’s investment performance. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax has been made. MassMutual may, however, make such a charge in the future if an unanticipated change of current law results in a company tax liability attributable to Separate Account I.

D. Policy Charges

See Note 7B for charges associated with the policies.

E. Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

F. Policy Loan

When a policy loan is made, Separate Account I transfers the amount of the loan to MassMutual, thereby decreasing both the investments and the net assets of Separate Account I by an equal amount. The policy owner is charged interest on the outstanding policy loan amount generally equal to either a fixed interest rate of 4 to 6% per year or (in all qualifying jurisdictions) an adjustable loan rate, where applicable. The adjustable loan rate is selected each year for the following policy year.

As long as a loan is outstanding, a portion of the policy account value equal to the loan is invested in the GPA. The amount of the loan earns interest at a rate equal to the greater of either a fixed interest rate generally equal to 2 to 4% of the loan or the policy loan rate less the loan interest rate expense charge. This amount does not participate in Separate Account I’s investment performance.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

A. Sales Agreements

MML Distributors, LLC (“MML Distributors”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MassMutual, serves as principal underwriter for most of the policies pursuant to an underwriting and servicing agreement among MML Distributors, MassMutual and Separate Account I. MML Distributors is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”). MML Distributors may enter into selling agreements with other broker-dealers who are registered with the SEC and are members of the NASD in order to sell the policies.

Pursuant to the underwriting and servicing agreements, commissions or other fees due to registered representatives for selling and servicing the policies are paid by MassMutual on behalf of MML Distributors. MML Distributors also receives compensation for their actions as underwriters of the policies.

B. Receivable from/Payable to MassMutual

Certain fees such as cost of insurance fees and mortality and expense fees are charges paid between the General Account and Separate Account I.

¹ The investment income ratios represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the division from the underlying mutual fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets. Beginning in the year 2003 and forward, these ratios exclude expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that are assessed against policy owner accounts either through reductions in the unit values or the redemption of units. The recognition of investment income by the division is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the division invests.

² The expense ratios represent the annualized policy expenses of Separate Account I, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction of unit values. Charges made directly to policy owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund have been excluded.

³ The total returns are for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, and the expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. Investment options with a date notation indicate the effective date of that investment option in the variable account. The total return is calculated for each period indicated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. As the total return is presented as a range of minimum to maximum values, based on the product grouping representing the related minimum and maximum expense ratio amounts, some individual policy total returns are not within the ranges presented.

B. Separate Account I assesses charges associated with the policy. These charges are either assessed as a direct reduction in unit values or through a redemption of units for all policies contained within Separate Account I.

Administrative Charge	$0 - $12 per month per policy
These charges are assessed through the redemption of units.
Face Amount Charge	$0.00 - $0.41 per month per $1,000 face amount of policy; or charge is based on the initial selected face amount of the Policy, the issue age of the insured, and the Policy year in which the deduction is made.
This charge is assessed through a redemption of units.
Insurance Charge/Cost of Insurance Protection Charge/Mortality Charge	$0.00 - $83.34 per $1,000 of insurance risk; or MassMutual may charge up to the maximum rate in the Table of Maximum Monthly Mortality Charges in a Policy. MassMutual may charge less than the maximum. If policies are issued in a Group Case, any changes in these charges will apply to all policies in the same case.
These charges are assessed through a redemption of units.
Asset Charge/Mortality and Expense Risk Charge	Annual Rate: 0.25% - 1.00% of the policy’s average daily net assets held in the Separate Account.
This charge is assessed through a reduction in unit values.

Independent Auditors’ Report

The Board of Directors and Policyholders of

Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company:

We have audited the accompanying statutory statements of financial position of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statutory statements of income, changes in policyholders’ contingency reserves, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The accompanying financial statements of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company for the year ended December 31, 2003 were audited by other auditors whose report thereon dated March 5, 2004 (except with respect to the matter discussed in Note 17, as to which the date is March 14, 2005), expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements and included explanatory language that described the use of statutory accounting practices, which practices differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and the adoption, effective January 1, 2003, of Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles No. 86, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging, Income Generation, and Replication (Synthetic Asset) Transactions.”

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As described more fully in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company prepared these financial statements using accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Division of Insurance (“statutory accounting practices”), which practices differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The effects on the financial statements of the variances between the statutory accounting practices and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material.

In our opinion, because of the effects of the variances between the statutory accounting practices and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles discussed in the preceding paragraph, the Company’s financial statements do not present fairly, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for the years then ended. In our opinion, the Company’s financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, on the basis of statutory accounting practices as described in Note 2.

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Nature of operations

MassMutual Financial Group (“MMFG”) is comprised of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries. MMFG is a global, diversified financial services organization providing life insurance, annuities, disability income insurance, long-term care insurance, retirement and savings products, structured settlement annuities, investment management, mutual funds, and trust services to individual and institutional customers. The Company is organized as a mutual life insurance company.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies and practices

a. Basis of presentation

The accompanying statutory financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the statutory accounting practices, except as to form, of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) and the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Division of Insurance (“Division”).

Statutory accounting practices are different in some respects from financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The more significant differences between statutory accounting principles and GAAP are as follows: (a) certain acquisition costs, such as commissions and other variable costs, that are directly related to acquiring new business, are charged to current operations as incurred, whereas GAAP generally capitalizes these expenses and amortizes them over the expected life of the policies or over the premium payment period; (b) statutory policy reserves are based upon the Commissioners’ Reserve Valuation Method or net level premium method and prescribed statutory mortality, morbidity and interest assumptions, whereas GAAP reserves would generally be based upon the net level premium method or the estimated gross margin method, with estimates of future mortality, morbidity and interest assumptions; (c) bonds are generally carried at amortized cost, whereas GAAP generally reports bonds at fair value; (d) deferred income taxes, which provide for book versus tax temporary differences, are subject to limitation and are charged to policyholders’ contingency reserves, whereas GAAP would include the change in deferred taxes in net income; (e) payments received for universal and variable life insurance products and variable annuities are reported as premium income and changes in reserves, whereas GAAP would treat these payments as deposits to policyholders’ account balances; (f) majority-owned subsidiaries, other than domestic life insurance companies, variable interest entities and certain controlled entities are accounted for using the equity method, whereas GAAP would consolidate these entities; (g) surplus notes are reported in policyholders’ contingency reserves, whereas GAAP would report these notes as liabilities; (h) assets are reported at “admitted asset” value and “non-admitted assets” are excluded through a charge against policyholders’ contingency reserves, whereas GAAP records these assets, net of any valuation allowance; (i) reinsurance recoverables are reported as a reduction of policyholders’ reserves and deposit fund balances, whereas GAAP would report these recoverables as an asset; (j) an asset valuation reserve (“AVR”) is reported as a contingency reserve to stabilize policyholders’ contingency reserves against fluctuations in the value of stocks, real estate investments, partnerships, and limited liability companies (“LLCs”) as well as

FF-7

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

credit-related declines in the value of bonds and mortgage loans, whereas GAAP does not require this reserve; (k) after-tax realized capital gains and losses which result from changes in the overall level of interest rates for all types of fixed income investments and interest-related hedging activities are deferred into the interest maintenance reserve (“IMR”) and amortized into revenue, whereas GAAP reports these gains and losses as revenue; (l) changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recorded as changes in policyholders’ contingency reserves, whereas GAAP generally reports these changes as revenue unless deemed an effective hedge; (m) comprehensive income is not presented, whereas GAAP presents changes in unrealized capital gains and losses, minimum pension liability, and foreign currency translations as other comprehensive income; (n) embedded derivatives are recorded as part of the underlying contract, whereas GAAP would identify and bifurcate certain embedded derivatives from the underlying contract or security and account for them separately; and (o) certain group annuity and variable universal life contracts which do not pass through all investment gains to contract holders are maintained in the separate accounts, whereas GAAP reports these contracts in the general account assets and liabilities of the Company.

The Division has the right to permit other specific practices that differ from prescribed practices. As permitted by the Division, the prepaid pension asset of the Company prior to December 31, 2003 was allowed as an admitted asset. The amount of this admitted asset was limited to the prepaid balance at December 31, 2000 and was reduced each quarter until the asset equaled zero at December 31, 2003. This permitted practice did not affect net income. As of December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company had no permitted practices.

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the statutory financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The most significant estimates include those used in determining the carrying values of investments and derivatives, the liability for future policyholders’ reserves and deposit fund balances, and the amount of investment valuation reserves on mortgage loans, real estate held for sale, and other-than-temporary impairments. Future events, including but not limited to changes in the levels of mortality, morbidity, interest rates, persistency and asset valuations, could cause actual results to differ from the estimates used in the statutory financial statements. Although some variability is inherent in these estimates, management believes the amounts presented are appropriate.

Certain 2004 balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. During 2005, the Company implemented a new disability income active life reserve system. As a result, the Company recorded a prior period disability reserve adjustment. The active life reserves increased $52 million and the disabled life reserves increased $9 million, and these increases were recorded as a change to policyholders’ contingency reserves in accordance with Statutory Statement of Accounting Principles (“SSAP”) No. 3 “Accounting for Changes and Corrections of Errors.”

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

b. Bonds

Generally, bonds are valued at amortized cost using the constant yield interest method. Bond transactions are recorded on a trade date basis, except for private placement bonds which are recorded on the funding date.

The fair value of bonds is based on values provided by the NAIC’s Securities Valuation Office (“SVO”) when available. If SVO values are not available, quoted market values provided by other third-party organizations are used. If quoted market values are unavailable, fair value is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using current market rates applicable to yield, credit quality and maturity of the investment or using quoted market values for comparable investments.

Asset-backed and mortgage-backed bonds and structured securities are valued at amortized cost using the interest method with estimates of future prepayments at the date of purchase obtained from independent sources; changes in prepayment speeds and estimated cash flows are updated quarterly and primarily accounted for using the prospective yield adjustment method. Prior to 2005, the retrospective yield adjustment method was used. The cumulative effect of this change in method as of January 1, 2005 was immaterial. Certain high quality asset-backed, mortgage-backed and structured securities are still accounted for using the retrospective yield adjustment method. The cost basis of asset–backed and mortgage-backed bonds and structured securities is adjusted for impairments in value deemed to be other than temporary, with the associated realized loss reported in net income.

The carrying values of bonds and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are written down to fair value when a decline in value is considered to be other-than-temporary. The Company considers the following factors in the evaluation of whether a non-interest related decline in value is other-than-temporary: (a) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; (b) the likelihood that the Company will be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of a debt security in effect at the date of acquisition; (c) its ability and intent to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery in value; and (d) the period and degree to which the market value has been below cost. The Company considers the following factors in the evaluation of whether an interest related decline in value is other-than-temporary: (a) its near term intent to sell; (b) its contractual and regulatory obligations; and (c) the investments’ forecasted recovery in value. The Company conducts a quarterly management review that includes all bonds in default or not-in-good standing as well as securities valued below 80% of cost. The Company also considers other qualitative and quantitative factors in determining the existence of other than temporary impairments. If the impairment is other-than-temporary, a direct write-down is recognized in realized capital losses and a new cost basis is established.

c. Common stocks

Common stocks, including warrants, are valued at fair value with unrealized capital gains and losses included as a change in policyholders’ contingency reserves. Common stock transactions are recorded on a trade date basis.

FF-9

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

The fair value of common stocks is based on values provided by the SVO when available. If SVO values are not available, quoted market values provided by other third-party organizations are used. If quoted market values are unavailable, fair value is estimated by using internal models.

The cost basis of common stocks is adjusted for impairments deemed to be other-than-temporary. The Company considers the following factors in the evaluation of whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary: (a) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; (b) its ability and intent to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery in value; and (c) the period and degree to which the market value has been below cost. The Company conducts a quarterly management review of all common stock issuers not-in-good standing as well as common stocks valued below 80% of cost. The Company also considers other qualitative and quantitative factors in determining the existence of other than temporary impairments. If the impairment is other-than-temporary, a direct write-down to fair value is recognized in realized capital losses and a new cost basis is established.

d. Mortgage loans

Mortgage loans are valued at the unpaid principal balance of the loan, net of unamortized premiums and discounts, non-refundable commitment fees and mortgage interest points, and valuation allowances. The mortgage loan portfolio is comprised of commercial mortgage loans, including mezzanine loans, and residential mortgage loan pools. Mezzanine loans are loans secured by a pledge of direct or indirect equity interest in an entity that owns real estate. Residential mortgage loan pools are pools of homogeneous residential mortgage loans substantially backed by Federal Housing Administration and Veterans Administration guarantees.

The fair value of mortgage loans is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using current interest rates for similar loans with similar credit risk. For non-performing loans, the fair value is the estimated collateral value of the underlying real estate.

When, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts of principal and interest due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage loan agreement, a valuation allowance is established for the excess of the carrying value of the mortgage loan over its fair value. Collectibility and estimated recoveries are assessed on a loan-by-loan basis considering all events and conditions relevant to the loan. The evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revisions as more information becomes available, as changes occur in the market or as negotiations with the borrowing entity evolve. Changes to the valuation allowance are recorded as unrealized capital losses in policyholders’ contingency reserves.

When an event occurs resulting in an impairment that is other-than-temporary, a direct write-down is recognized in realized capital losses and a new cost basis is established. An impairment is deemed other-than-temporary when foreclosure proceedings or other procedures leading to the acquisition of the collateral are initiated, the acquisition of the collateral is probable, and a reasonable estimate of the collateral value has been determined.

FF-10

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

Interest income earned on impaired loans is accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the loan based on the loan’s contractual coupon rate. Interest is not accrued for impaired loans more than 60 days past due, for loans delinquent more than 90 days, or when collection is improbable. The Company continually monitors mortgage loans where the accrual of interest has been discontinued, and will resume the accrual of interest on a mortgage loan when the facts and circumstances of the borrower and property indicate that the payments will continue to be received per the terms of the mortgage loan agreement or modified mortgage loan agreement.

e. Policy loans

Policy loans are carried at the outstanding loan balance less amounts unsecured by the cash surrender value of the policy. The majority of policy loans are variable rate loans adjusted annually. The carrying value for policy loans approximates the fair value reported in the Statutory Statements of Financial Position. Accrued investment income on policy loans more than 90 days past due is included in the unpaid balance of the policy loan.

f. Real estate

Investment real estate, which the Company has the intent to hold for the production of income, and real estate occupied by the Company are carried at depreciated cost, less encumbrances. Depreciated cost is adjusted for impairments whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable, with the impairment being included in realized capital losses. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the real estate holding, not to exceed 40 years. Depreciation expense is included as a component of net investment income.

Real estate held for sale is carried at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, less selling costs. Adjustments to the carrying value of real estate held for sale are recorded when fair value less selling costs is below depreciated cost and are included in realized capital losses.

Real estate acquired in satisfaction of debt is recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure.

Fair value is generally estimated using the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the underlying risks. The Company also obtains external appraisals for a rotating sample of properties on an annual basis.

FF-11

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

g. Other investments

Other investments consist of investments in partnerships and limited liability companies (“LLCs”), derivative financial instruments, common stocks of unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates, preferred stocks and other miscellaneous investments.

Partnerships and LLCs are accounted for using the equity method with the change in unrealized capital gains and losses recorded in policyholders’ contingency reserves. When it appears probable that the Company will be unable to recover the outstanding carrying value of an investment, or there is evidence indicating an inability of the investee to sustain earnings adequate to justify the carrying value of the investment, an other-than-temporary impairment is recognized in realized capital losses for the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the investment. The estimated fair value is determined by assessing the value of the partnership or LLC’s underlying assets, cash flow, current financial condition, and other market factors. Distributions, not deemed to be a return of capital, are recorded in net investment income when received.

The Company uses derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to manage investment risks, primarily to reduce interest rate and duration imbalances determined in asset/liability analyses. The Company also uses a combination of derivatives and short-term investments to economically create temporary investment positions, which are highly liquid and of high quality. These combined investments perform like bonds and are held to improve the quality and performance of the invested assets until other suitable investments become available. To a much lesser extent, some of these combinations are considered replication (synthetic asset) transactions as permitted under statutory accounting principles. The Company’s derivative strategy employs a variety of derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, currency swaps, asset, equity and credit default swaps, options, interest rate caps and floors, forward commitments, and financial futures. Investment risk is assessed on a portfolio basis and individual derivative financial instruments are not designated in hedging relationships; therefore, the criteria for hedge accounting are not met.

Derivative financial instruments are carried at estimated fair value, which is based primarily upon quotations obtained from independent sources. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded as unrealized capital gains and losses in policyholders’ contingency reserves. Gains and losses realized on the termination, closing, or assignment of contracts are recorded as realized capital gains and losses. Amounts receivable and payable are accrued.

Common stocks of unconsolidated subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method with the change in unrealized capital gains and losses recorded in policyholders’ contingency reserves. The Company accounts for the value of its investment in its subsidiary, MassMutual Holding LLC (“MMHLLC”), at its underlying GAAP net equity, adjusted for certain non-admitted assets. Distributions by MMHLLC are recorded in net investment income to the extent that distributions are received by the Company. Distributions to the Company are limited to MassMutual’s equity in MMHLLC.

Generally, preferred stocks in good standing are valued at amortized cost.

FF-12

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

h. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Short-term investments, which are carried at amortized cost, consist of all highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of greater than three months and less than or equal to 12 months. Repurchase agreements and investments in money market mutual funds are classified as short-term investments.

The Company has entered into repurchase agreements whereby the Company purchases securities and simultaneously agrees to resell the same or substantially the same securities. Repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized lendings with the cash paid for the securities recorded in the statutory financial statements as a short-term investment. The underlying securities are not recorded as investments owned by the Company. The difference between the amount paid and the amount at which the securities will be subsequently resold is reported as interest income.

The Company requires collateral in the form of securities having a fair value of a minimum of 102% of the securities’ purchase price. If at anytime the fair value of the collateral is less than 100% of the securities’ purchase price, the counterparty is obligated to provide additional collateral to bring the total collateral held by the Company to at least 102% of the securities’ purchase price.

The estimated fair values for these instruments approximates the carrying values reported in the Statutory Statements of Financial Position.

i. Securities lending

The Company participates in a fee-based securities lending program whereby certain securities are loaned to third-party brokers. The Company retains control over loaned securities, which remain assets of the Company, and are not removed from the accounting records. The Company has the ability to sell the securities while on loan. Fees received for loaning the securities, net of direct expenses, are recorded in net investment income. Interest income on loaned securities that is unrelated to securities lending is recorded in the appropriate investment category consistent with the type of securities lent.

The Company’s policy requires a minimum of 102% of the market value of the loaned securities to be separately held as collateral for the loans; however, the Company does not record or have use of the collateral. Collateral may include treasury securities, agency bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and investment grade corporate securities. The Company has the right to terminate the program at any time without penalty.

j. Accrued investment income

Accrued investment income consists primarily of interest and dividends. Interest is recognized on an accrual basis and dividends are recorded as earned on the ex-dividend

FF-13

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

date. Due and accrued income is not recorded on: (a) bonds in default; (b) impaired mortgage loans more than 60 days past due; (c) mortgage loans delinquent more than 90 days or where collection of interest is improbable; (d) rent in arrears for more than 90 days; and (e) policy loan interest due and accrued in excess of the cash surrender value of the underlying contract.

k. Other assets

Other assets primarily include the deferred tax asset, fixed assets, outstanding premium and reinsurance recoverables.

Fixed assets are included in other assets at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated lives range from one to 10 years for leasehold improvements and three to 10 years for all other fixed assets. Most unamortized software and office equipment are non-admitted assets.

l. Non-admitted assets

Assets designated as non-admitted by the NAIC include furniture, certain equipment, unamortized software, the prepaid pension plan asset, the interest maintenance reserve in a net asset position, and certain other receivables, advances and prepayments. Such amounts are excluded from the Statutory Statements of Financial Position with an offsetting adjustment to policyholders’ contingency reserves.

m. Separate accounts

Separate account assets and liabilities represent segregated funds administered and invested by the Company for the benefit of variable annuity and variable life and other insurance policyholders. Assets consist principally of marketable securities reported at fair value and are not available to satisfy liabilities that arise from any other business of the Company. Separate account liabilities represent segregated policyholder funds administered and invested by the Company to meet specific investment objectives of the policyholders. The Company receives administrative and investment advisory fees from these accounts.

Separate accounts reflect three categories of risk assumption: pass-through separate accounts, for which the policyholder assumes the investment risk; separate accounts for which the Company contractually guarantees either a minimum death, accumulation or income benefit to the policyholder; and separate accounts containing interest guarantee provisions. Premium income, benefits and expenses of the separate accounts are reported in net income. Investment income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses on the assets of separate accounts accrue to policyholders and, accordingly, are not recorded in net income.

The Company may transfer investments to seed separate investment accounts. Investments transferred to separate accounts are transferred at the fair market value on the date the transaction occurs. Gains related to the transfer are deferred to the extent that

FF-14

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

the Company maintains a proportionate interest in the separate account. The deferred gain is recognized as the Company’s ownership decreases or when the separate account sells the underlying asset during the normal course of business. Realized capital losses associated with these transfers are recognized immediately.

n. Policyholders’ reserves

Policyholders’ reserves provide amounts adequate to discharge estimated future obligations in excess of estimated future premium on policies in force.

Reserves for life insurance contracts are developed using accepted actuarial methods computed principally on the net level premium and the Commissioners’ Reserve Valuation Method bases using the American Experience and the 1941, 1958, 1980 and 2001 Commissioners’ Standard Ordinary mortality tables with assumed interest rates.

Reserves for individual annuities are based on account value or accepted actuarial methods, generally the Commissioners’ Annuity Reserve Valuation Method, using applicable interest rates.

Disability income policy reserves are generally calculated using the two-year preliminary term, net level premium and fixed net premium methods, and using the 1964 Commissioner Disability Table and 1985 Commissioner Individual Disability Table A morbidity tables with assumed interest rates.

Disabled life reserves are calculated using actuarially accepted methodology and the 1964 Commissioner Disability Table, 1985 Commissioner Individual Disability Table A and 2001 Commissioner Individual Disability Table C morbidity tables.

Unpaid claims and claim expense reserves are related to disability and long-term care claims with long-tail payouts. Unpaid disability claim liabilities are projected based on the average of the last three disability payments paid prior to the valuation date. Claim expense reserves are based on an analysis of the unit expenses related to the processing and examination of new and ongoing claims. Interest accrued on reserves is calculated by applying NAIC prescribed interest rates to the average reserves by incurral year.

Tabular interest, tabular less actual reserves released, and tabular cost for all life contracts are determined in accordance with NAIC annual statement instructions. Traditional life, permanent and term products use a formula that applies a weighted-average interest rate determined from a seriatim valuation file to the mean average reserves. Universal life, variable life and group life insurance products use a formula which applies a weighted-average credited rate to the mean account value.

The Company waives deduction of deferred fractional premium at death and returns any portion of the final premium beyond the date of death. Reserves are computed using continuous functions to reflect these practices.

FF-15

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

The same reserve methods applied to standard policies are used for the substandard reserve calculations that are based on a substandard mortality rate (a multiple of standard reserve tables).

The Company had $27,595 million and $30,930 million of insurance in force at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, for which the gross premium was less than the net premium according to the standard valuation set by the Division and the Department.

Certain variable universal life and variable individual annuity products issued by the Company offer various guaranteed minimum death, accumulation and income benefits. The liabilities for guaranteed minimum death benefits (“GMDB”), guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits (“GMAB”) and guaranteed minimum income benefits (“GMIB”) are included in policyholders’ reserves and the related changes in the liabilities are included in policyholders’ benefits.

A GMDB generally provides a benefit if the contract holder dies and the contract value is less than a specified amount. This amount is based on the premium paid less amounts withdrawn or contract value on a specified anniversary date. For an annuity contract, a decline in the stock market causing the contract value to fall below this specified amount will increase the net amount at risk, which is the GMDB in excess of the contract value. For a life contract, a decrease in interest credited to the policyholder causing the contract value to fall below this specified amount will increase the net amount at risk, which is the GMDB in excess of the contract value.

A GMAB is a living benefit that provides the contract holder with a guaranteed minimum contract value at a specified time after its inception. If the account value is below that guarantee at the end of the specified period, it is increased to the guaranteed level and the contract continues from that point. Options for the guarantee period are 10 and 20 years. The 10 year variant may be reset annually after an initial two year period; resetting the benefit restarts the 10 year waiting period. In general the GMAB requires a guaranteed term selection and adherence to limitations required by an approved asset allocation strategy.

A GMIB is a living benefit that provides the contract holder with a guaranteed minimum annuitization value. The GMIB would be beneficial to the contract holder if the contract holder’s account value is lower than the GMIB value at the time of annuitization.

The Company’s annuity and variable universal life GMDB reserves are calculated in accordance with Actuarial Guideline 34 and 37, respectively. The GMAB and GMIB reserves are valued in accordance with Actuarial Guideline 39.

All policy liabilities and accruals are based on the various estimates discussed above and are presented net of reinsurance. Management believes that policy liabilities and accruals will be sufficient, in conjunction with future revenues, to meet future obligations of policies and contracts in force.

FF-16

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

o. Deposit fund balances

Reserves for funding agreements, dividend accumulations, premium deposit funds and investment-type contracts such as supplementary contracts and certain structured settlement annuities are based on account value or accepted actuarial methods using applicable interest rates. Fair value is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using current market rates.

p. Policyholders’ dividends

Policyholders’ dividends expected to be paid in the following year are approved annually by MassMutual’s Board of Directors. The allocation of these dividends reflects the relative contribution of each group of participating policies to policyholders’ contingency reserves and considers, among other factors, investment returns, mortality and morbidity experience, expenses and income tax charges. Policyholders’ dividends payable represent the estimated amount of dividends expected to be paid to policyholders in the following year. Policyholders’ dividends incurred are recorded in the Statutory Statement of Income.

q. Asset valuation reserve

The Company maintains an asset valuation reserve (“AVR”). The AVR is a contingency reserve to stabilize policyholders’ contingency reserves against fluctuations in the value of stocks, real estate investments, partnerships and LLCs as well as credit-related declines in the value of bonds and mortgage loans. The AVR is reported in the Statutory Statements of Financial Position, while the change in the AVR is reported in policyholders’ contingency reserves.

r. Other liabilities

Other liabilities primarily include reverse repurchase agreements, the liabilities related to collateral held on derivatives contracts, due and accrued expenses, and amounts held for agents.

The Company has entered into reverse repurchase agreements whereby the Company sells securities and simultaneously agrees to repurchase the same or substantially the same securities. Reverse repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized borrowings, with the proceeds from the sale of the securities recorded as a liability and the underlying securities recorded as an investment by the Company. Earnings on these investments are recorded as investment income and the difference between the proceeds and the amount at which the securities will be subsequently reacquired is amortized as interest expense.

The Company provides collateral as dictated by the reverse repurchase agreement to the counterparty in exchange for a loan amount. If the fair value of the securities sold becomes less than the loan amount, the counterparty may require additional collateral.

FF-17

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

s. Policyholders’ contingency reserves

Policyholders’ contingency reserves represent surplus of the Company as reported to regulatory authorities and are intended to protect policyholders against possible adverse experience.

t. Participating contracts

Participating contracts issued by the Company represented approximately 65% and 68% of the Company’s policyholders’ reserves and deposit fund balances as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

u. Reinsurance

The Company enters into reinsurance agreements with other insurance companies in the normal course of business in order to limit its insurance risk. Premium income, benefits to policyholders, and policyholders’ reserves are stated net of reinsurance. Reinsurance premium income, commissions, expense reimbursements, benefits and reserves related to reinsured business are accounted for on bases consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. The Company remains primarily liable to the insured for the payment of benefits if the reinsurer cannot meet its obligations under the reinsurance agreements.

v. Premium and related expense recognition

Life insurance premium revenue is generally recognized annually on the anniversary date of the policy and excess premium for flexible products is recognized when received. Annuity premium is recognized as revenue when received. Disability income premium is recognized as revenue when due. Commissions and other costs related to issuance of new policies, and policy maintenance and settlement costs are charged to current operations when incurred. Surrender fee charges on certain life and annuity products are recorded as a reduction of benefits and expenses.

w. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses

Realized capital gains and losses, net of taxes, exclude gains and losses deferred into the IMR and gains and losses of the separate accounts. Realized capital gains and losses are recognized in net income and are determined using the specific identification method.

All after-tax realized capital gains and losses which result from changes in the overall level of interest rates for all types of fixed-income investments and interest-related hedging activities are deferred into the IMR and amortized into revenue. These interest-related gains and losses are amortized into net investment income using the grouped method over the remaining life of the investment sold or, in the case of derivative financial instruments, over the remaining life of the underlying asset.

Unrealized capital gains and losses are recorded as a change in policyholders’ contingency reserves.

3. New accounting standards

a. Adoption of new accounting standards

In December 2004, the NAIC’s Emerging Accounting Issues Working Group issued Interpretation (“INT”) 02-07, Definition of Phrase ‘Other Than Temporary,’ with an effective date of December 2005. INT 02-07 provides clarifying language for the recognition of interest related impairments. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s statutory financial condition or results of operations.

In June 2004, the NAIC issued Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles (“SSAP”) No. 91 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” with an effective date of January 1, 2005. SSAP No. 91 supercedes SSAP No. 18 “Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” SSAP No. 33 “Securitization,” and SSAP No. 45 “Repurchase Agreements, Reverse Repurchase Agreements and Dollar Repurchase Agreements.” SSAP No. 91 establishes statutory accounting principles for transfers and servicing of financial assets, including asset securitizations and securitizations of policy acquisition costs, extinguishments of liabilities, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, including dollar repurchase and dollar reverse repurchase agreements. The provisions of SSAP No. 91 did not have a material impact on the Company’s statutory financial condition or results of operations.

In June 2004, the NAIC issued SSAP No. 88 “Investments in Subsidiary, Controlled, and Affiliated Entities, A Replacement of SSAP No. 46” with an effective date of January 1, 2005. SSAP No. 88 supercedes SSAP No. 46 “Investments in Subsidiary, Controlled, and Affiliated Entities,” and amends SSAP No. 68 “Business Combinations and Goodwill” and changes the statutory accounting principles for investments in subsidiaries, controlled and affiliated investments. Adoption of SSAP No. 88 caused a reduction in policyholders’ contingency reserves arising from a lower carrying value of the Company’s subsidiary, MassMutual Holding LLC, of approximately $11 million attributable to certain adjustments made to the GAAP carrying value of certain subsidiaries. Changes resulting from the adoption of this statement were accounted for as a change in accounting principle to policyholders’ contingency reserves.

In December 2004, the NAIC’s Emerging Accounting Issues Working Group issued INT 04-17, “Impact of Medicare Modernization Act on Postretirement Benefits,” which provided guidance to adopt the final conclusions in Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position (“FSP”) 106-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003” (“the Act”) with certain modifications. The Act introduced a prescription drug benefit under Medicare (“Medicare Part D”) and a federal subsidy to sponsors of retirement health care plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. The Company adopted INT 04-17 during 2004 and elected retrospective application with a measurement date of January 1, 2004. This resulted in a reduction in the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation (“APBO”) for the subsidy related to benefits attributed to past service of $33 million.

FF-19

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

b. Future adoption of accounting standards

In June 2005, the NAIC issued SSAP No. 90 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Real Estate Investments, and Discontinued Operations” with an effective date of January 1, 2006. SSAP No. 90 establishes statutory accounting principles for the impairment or disposal of real estate investments and the treatment of long-lived assets associated with discontinued operations including non-admitted intangible assets other than goodwill. An impairment loss shall be recognized only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. A change resulting from the adoption of this statement shall be accounted for as a change in accounting principle in accordance with SSAP No. 3. The Company does not expect adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operation.

In June 2005, the NAIC issued SSAP No. 93 “Accounting for Low Income Housing Tax Credit Property Investments” with an effective date of January 1, 2006, and with early adoption permitted. SSAP No. 93 establishes statutory accounting principles for investments in federal and certain state sponsored Low Income Housing Tax Credit (“LIHTC”) properties. State sponsored LIHTC that are not in compliance with SSAP No. 93 shall continue to be accounted for in accordance with the requirements of SSAP No. 48 “Joint Ventures, Partnerships and Limited Liability Companies.” Adoption of this statement in 2006 is expected to result in approximately a $20 million reduction in policyholders’ contingency reserves.

Through the Company’s comprehensive evaluation, management concluded that the unrealized losses at December 31, 2005 were caused by interest rate increases and for mortgage-backed and corporate debt securities were partially offset by the underlying quality improvement related to strengthening economic conditions. For U.S. Treasury

securities and obligations of U.S. government, corporations and agencies, the contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. For mortgage-backed securities which were greater than 12 months duration, of the $37 million in unrealized losses less than $1 million were below an investment grade rating. The contractual cash flows of the majority of these securities are guaranteed by Federal National Mortgage Association. It is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. For corporate debt securities which were greater than 12 months duration, of the $41 million in unrealized losses all except $12 million carried an investment grade rating. Based upon the Company’s impairment review process, the decline in the value of these investments is not considered to be other-than-temporary.

The Company is not exposed to any significant concentrations of credit risk from a non-governmental issuer.

i. Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had repurchase agreements outstanding with a total carrying value of $37 million and $28 million, respectively. At December 31, 2005, the maturities of these agreements ranged from January 6, 2006 through January 13, 2006 while the interest rate was 4.4%. The outstanding amount at December 31, 2005 and 2004 was collateralized by bonds with a fair value of $37 million and $28 million, respectively.

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had reverse repurchase agreements outstanding with total carrying values of $244 million and $52 million, respectively. At December 31, 2005, the maturities of these agreements ranged from January 6, 2006 through March 9, 2006, while the interest rates ranged from 4.3% to 4.6%. The outstanding amounts at December 31, 2005 and 2004 were collateralized by bonds with a fair value of $245 million and $51 million respectively.

5. Derivative financial instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to manage investment risks, primarily to reduce interest rate and duration imbalances determined in asset/liability analyses. The Company also uses a combination of derivatives and short-term investments to economically create temporary investment positions, which are highly liquid and of high quality. These combined investments perform like bonds and are held to improve the quality and performance of invested assets until other suitable investments become available. To a much lesser extent, some of these combinations are considered replication (synthetic asset) transactions as permitted under statutory accounting principles. The Company’s derivative strategy employs a variety of derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, currency swaps, asset, equity and credit default

FF-32

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

swaps, options, interest rate caps and floors, forward commitments, and financial futures. Investment risk is assessed on a portfolio basis and individual derivative financial instruments are not designated in hedging relationships; therefore, the criteria for hedge accounting are not met.

Under interest rate swaps, the Company agrees, at specified intervals, to an exchange of variable rate and fixed rate interest payments calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional principal amount.

Under currency swaps, the Company agrees to an exchange of principal denominated in two different currencies at current rates, under an agreement to repay the principal at a specified future date and rate. The Company utilizes currency swaps for the purpose of managing currency exchange risks primarily related to funding agreements.

Credit default swaps allow for transferring the credit exposure of fixed income products between parties. The buyer of the credit swap receives credit protection, whereas the seller of the swap guarantees the credit worthiness of the underlying security. This transfers the risk of default from the buyer of the swap to the seller. The Company may use credit default swaps to reduce exposure to a particular issuer, or add exposure to an issuer.

Asset swaps allow for a fixed investment such as a bond with guaranteed coupon payments to be swapped for a floating investment such as an index.

Options grant the purchaser the right to buy or sell a security or enter into a derivative transaction at a stated price within a stated period. The Company’s option contracts have terms of up to 15 years.

Interest rate cap agreements grant the purchaser the right to receive the excess of a referenced interest rate over a stated rate calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional amount. Interest rate floor agreements grant the purchaser the right to receive the excess of a stated rate over a referenced interest rate calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional amount.

The Company utilizes certain other agreements including forward commitments and financial futures to reduce exposures to various risks. Forward commitments and financial futures are used by the Company to manage market risks relating to interest rates. The Company also uses “to be announced” (“TBAs”) forward contracts to participate in the investment return on mortgage-backed securities. TBAs provide a more liquid and cost effective method than purchasing or selling individual mortgage-backed pools. Typically, the price is agreed upon at the time of the contract and payment is made at a specified future date. The Company usually does not purchase TBAs with settlement by the first possible delivery date and thus accounts for these TBAs as derivatives. TBAs which settle on the first possible delivery date are accounted for as bonds. The Company’s futures contracts are exchange traded and have credit risk. Margin requirements are met with the deposit of securities. Futures contracts are generally settled with offsetting transactions.

The Company’s principal derivative market risk exposures are interest rate risk, which includes the impact of inflation, and credit risk. Interest rate risk pertains to the change in

FF-33

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

fair value of the derivative instruments as market interest rates move. The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to derivative financial instruments. In order to minimize credit risk, the Company and its derivative counterparties require collateral to be posted in the amount owed under each transaction, subject to threshold and minimum transfer amounts that are functions of the rating on the counterparty’s long term, unsecured, unsubordinated debt. Additionally, in many instances, the Company enters into agreements with counterparties which allow for contracts in a positive position, where the Company is due amounts, to be offset by contracts in a negative position. This right of offset, combined with collateral obtained from counterparties, reduces the Company’s exposure. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company held collateral of $1,100 million and $1,358 million, respectively. Market value exposure at risk, in a net gain position, net of offsets and collateral, was $154 million and $152 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Negative values in the carrying value of a particular derivative category can result due to a counterparty’s right to offset positions in multiple derivative financial instruments. The Company regularly monitors counterparty credit ratings and exposures, derivatives positions and valuations, and the value of collateral posted to ensure counterparties are credit-worthy and the concentration of exposure is minimized. The Company monitors this exposure as part of its management of the Company’s overall credit exposures.

The following tables summarize the carrying values, and notional amounts of the Company’s derivative financial instruments:

9. Related party transactions

The Company has management and service contracts and cost-sharing arrangements with various subsidiaries and affiliates whereby the Company, for a fee, will furnish a subsidiary or affiliate, as required, operating facilities, human resources, computer software development and managerial services. Fees earned under the terms of these contracts and arrangements related to unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates were $167 million, $151 million and $155 million for 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The majority of these fees were from C.M. Life Insurance Company (“C.M. Life”), which accounted for $100 million in 2005, $113 million in 2004 and $121 million in 2003.

The Company has agreements with its affiliates, including Babson Capital Management LLC (“Babson Capital”) and OppenheimerFunds Inc., whereby the Company receives revenue from these affiliates for certain recordkeeping and other services that the Company provides to customers who select, as investment options, mutual funds managed by these affiliates. The agreement with Babson Capital was discontinued during 2004. For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 revenue of $16 million, $15 million and $13 million, respectively, was recorded by the Company under these agreements.

Various unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates, including Babson Capital, provide investment advisory services to the Company. Fees incurred for such services were $160 million, $147 million and $132 million for 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In addition, an unconsolidated subsidiary provides administrative services for employee benefit plans to the Company. Total fees for such services were $11 million, $9 million and $8 million for 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

In 2003 and 2005, the Company entered into modified coinsurance agreements with its unconsolidated Japanese affiliate, MassMutual Life Insurance Company, on certain life insurance products. Total premium assumed under these agreements was $67 million, $40

FF-37

million and $41 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Commissions included $36 million, $6 million and $40 million of expense allowances on reinsurance ceded in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Total policyholders’ benefits assumed were $20 million, $14 million and $12 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Modified coinsurance adjustments of $32 million, $16 million and $17 million were paid by the Company in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

The Company has reinsurance agreements with its subsidiaries, C.M. Life and MML Bay State Life Insurance Company (“Bay State”), including stop-loss, coinsurance, modified coinsurance and yearly renewable term agreements on life insurance products. Total premium assumed on these agreements were $114 million, $168 million and $239 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Commissions included $26 million, $86 million and $104 million of expense allowances in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Total policyholders’ benefits incurred on these agreements were $75 million, $92 million and $62 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Modified coinsurance adjustments of $47 million, $40 million and $37 million were recorded from Bay State and C.M. Life in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Experience refunds of $7 million, $16 million and $16 million were paid to Bay State and C.M. Life in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In 2004, the Company discontinued its coinsurance agreements for new business related to two universal life products with C.M. Life.

The Company participates in variable annuity exchange programs with its subsidiary, C.M. Life, whereby certain Company variable annuity contract holders can make a non-taxable exchange of their contract for an enhanced C.M. Life variable annuity contract. Surrender benefits, related to these exchange programs, were $88 million, $118 million and $117 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company has an agreement with C.M. Life to compensate the Company for the lost revenue associated with the exchange of these contracts. As a result of these exchanges, the Company had commissions receivable of less than $1 million as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and received commissions of $1 million, $5 million and $9 million from C.M. Life for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

The Company had outstanding amounts due to Babson Capital of $25 million at 4.0% and $23 million at 4.5%, and to Cornerstone Real Estate Advisers LLC of $5 million at 4.0 % and $4 million at 4.5% at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The amounts are due in 2008 and 2007, respectively, but early repayment may be made at the option of the Company. Both are payable semi-annually in arrears. Interest accrued and paid was $1 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

10. Reinsurance

The Company cedes insurance to unaffiliated insurers in order to limit its insurance risk. The Company’s initial retention limit per individual life insured is generally $15 million; the portion of the risk exceeding the retention limit is reinsured with other insurers. In addition to reinsurance on a portion of its life business, the Company also reinsures all of its long-term care business and a small portion of its disability business. The amounts reinsured are on a yearly renewable term or coinsurance basis. Such transfers do not relieve the Company of its primary liability and, as such, failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in

FF-38

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

losses. The Company reduces this risk by evaluating the financial condition of reinsurers and monitoring for possible concentrations of credit risk. The Company records a receivable for reinsured benefits paid and reduces policyholders’ reserves for the portion of insurance liabilities that are reinsured. The cost of reinsurance is accounted for over the life of the underlying reinsured policies using assumptions consistent with those used to account for underlying policies.

The Company and its officers and directors do not own any portion of a non-affiliated reinsurer nor were any policies issued by the Company reinsured with a company chartered in a country other than the United States which is owned in excess of 10% or controlled directly or indirectly by an insured, a beneficiary, a creditor or any other person not primarily engaged in the insurance business. There are no reinsurance agreements in effect under which the reinsurer may unilaterally cancel any reinsurance for reasons other than for nonpayment of premium or other similar credits. The Company has no reinsurance agreements in effect such that the amount of losses paid or accrued through the statement date may result in a payment to the reinsurer of amounts which, in aggregate and allowing for offset of mutual credits from other reinsurance agreements with the same reinsurer, exceed the total direct premium collected under the reinsured policies.

If all reinsurance agreements were terminated by either party as of the date of this statement, the resulting reduction in surplus due to loss of reinsurance reserve credits net of unearned premium would be approximately $912 million assuming no return of other assets from the reinsurer to the Company upon termination of these agreements.

Premium ceded to unaffiliated insurers were $436 million, $378 million and $328 million and reinsurance recoveries were $215 million, $166 million and $187 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers were $78 million and $50 million as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. At December 31, 2005, one reinsurer accounted for 33% of the outstanding reinsurance recoverable and the next largest reinsurer had 18% of the balance.

Reserves ceded to unaffiliated insurers were $1,068 million and $928 million as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Of these reserves, the amounts associated with life policies for mortality and other related risks totaled $801 million and $708 million as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The remaining balance relates to long-term care and disability policies.

11. Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries

The Company has two primary domestic life insurance subsidiaries, C.M. Life, a subsidiary which primarily writes fixed and variable annuities and universal life insurance business, and Bay State, a subsidiary of C.M. Life which primarily writes variable life and bank-owned life insurance business.

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, MMHLLC, is the parent of other subsidiaries which include retail and institutional asset management, registered broker-dealer, and international life and annuity operations.

FF-39

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

The Company does not rely on dividends from its subsidiaries to meet its operating cash flow requirements. Dividend payments from insurance subsidiaries are subject to certain restrictions imposed by statutory authorities.

For domestic life insurance subsidiaries, substantially all of the statutory shareholder’s equity of approximately $448 million at December 31, 2005 is subject to dividend restrictions. Dividend restrictions, imposed by various state regulations, limit the payment of dividends to the Company without the prior approval from the Department. The Company’s domestic insurance subsidiary, C.M. Life, is required to obtain prior approval for dividend payments in 2006.

For international insurance subsidiaries, the most significant insurance regulatory jurisdictions include Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Bermuda. Historically, the Company reinvested a substantial portion of its unrestricted earnings in these operations.

In 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company contributed additional paid-in capital of $517 million, $30 million and $256 million, respectively, to its subsidiaries including MMHLLC. During the first quarter of 2005, MMHLLC purchased Baring Asset Management. During 2005, the Company contributed capital to MMHLLC to establish a new monoline financial guaranty insurance company. During the fourth quarter of 2005, MMHLLC completed the sale of Antares Capital Corporation (“Antares”) and as a result MMHLLC, with a portion of the proceeds of the sale, paid down debt owed to the Company.

In 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company received $100 million, $100 million and $150 million, respectively, in distributions from MMHLLC. The carrying value of MMHLLC was $1,713 million and $809 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company held debt issued by MMHLLC and its subsidiaries that amounted to $1,038 million and $2,493 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company recorded interest income on MMHLLC debt of $72 million, $88 million and $132 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Operating results, less dividends declared, for MMHLLC are reflected as net unrealized capital gains in the Statutory Statements of Changes in Policyholders’ Contingency Reserves.

Guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”) are pension plan investment contracts that pay a specified non-participating interest rate on contributions and pay book value at a specified maturity date. Contributions and withdrawals are largely fixed at the time of sale. As of December 31, 2005, approximately $144 million can be surrendered with a market-value adjustment. At December 31, 2005, the Company’s GICs maturity schedule was as follows:

The Company created trusts which established a $2 billion European Medium-Term Note Program and a $5 billion Global Medium-Term Note Program. The purpose of both programs is to issue medium-term notes to domestic and international investors. Proceeds from the sale of the medium-term notes by these unconsolidated affiliated trusts are used to purchase funding agreements from the Company. The payment terms of any particular series of notes are matched by the payment terms of the funding agreement securing the series.

Structurally the same as GICs, funding agreements are investment contracts sold to the domestic and international non-qualified market. In general, the terms of the funding agreements do not give the holder the right to terminate the contract prior to the contractually stated maturity dates. No funding agreements have been issued with put provisions or ratings-sensitive triggers. Currency swaps are employed to economically eliminate foreign exchange risk from all funding agreements issued to back non-U.S. dollar denominated notes.

FF-42

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

As of December 31, 2005, the Company has cumulatively issued $3,754 million of funding agreements under these programs.

At December 31, 2005, the Company’s maturity schedule for funding agreements was as follows:

	(In Millions)

c. Unpaid claims and claim expense reserves

The Company establishes unpaid claims and claim expense reserves to provide for the estimated cost of paying claims under individual disability and long term care policies written by the Company. These reserves include estimates for both claims that have been reported and those that have been incurred but not reported, and include estimates of all expenses associated with processing and settling these claims. This estimation process is based significantly on the assumption that past experience is an appropriate indicator of future events, and involves a variety of actuarial techniques that analyze experience, trends and other relevant factors. Accordingly, actual claim reserves may vary from present estimates. The amounts recorded for unpaid claim and claim expense reserves represent the Company’s best estimate based upon currently known facts and actuarial guidelines.

The following table summarizes the account values, net amount at risk and weighted average attained age for annuity contracts with guaranteed minimum death, accumulation and income benefits classified as policyholders’ reserves and separate accounts. Net amount at risk is defined as the seriatim total of the minimum guarantee less the account value, but not less than zero.

GMAB		507		—	N/A		335		—	N/A
GMIB		1,017		1	59		636		—	53

Account balances of annuity contracts with GMDB guarantees invested in separate accounts were $5,131 million and $4,532 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In addition to the amount invested in separate account investment options, $918 million and $1,003 million of account balances of annuity contracts with GMDB guarantees were invested in general account investment options at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

The Company sells universal life and variable universal life type contracts with and without certain secondary guarantees, such as a guarantee that the policy will not lapse, even if the account value is reduced to zero, as long as the policyholder makes scheduled premium payments. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the net liability for contracts with secondary guarantees on universal life and variable universal life type contracts including GMDB reserves was $397 million and $279 million, respectively.

The determination of the GMDB claim reserves is based on Actuarial Guideline 34 and 37. Reserves for GMAB and GMIB are based on Actuarial Guideline 39.

GMDB benefits will be paid on death, which we generally expect between ages 60 and 90. GMAB benefits will be paid either 10 or 20 years from their election dependent on the terms of the benefit. GMIB benefits are generally expected to be initiated between ages 60 and 80; the Company does not expect significant elections after age 80 as the benefit accumulation ceases at that time.

13. Employee benefit plans

The Company provides multiple benefit plans including retirement plans and life and health benefits to employees, certain employees of unconsolidated subsidiaries, agents and retirees.

a. Pension and savings plans

The Company has funded and unfunded non-contributory defined benefit pension plans. The plans cover substantially all employees and agents. For some participants, benefits are calculated as the greater of a formula based on either final average earnings and length of service or a cash balance formula which calculates benefits based on amounts allocated to participants that take into consideration age, service and salary during their careers.

The Company’s policy is to fund pension costs in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Company contributed $70 million, $40 million and $48 million to its qualified defined benefit plan for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

The Company sponsors funded and unfunded defined contribution plans for substantially all of its employees and agents. The Company contributes to the funded plan by matching participant contributions up to three percent of pay, within certain limits, based on years of service and the financial results of the Company each year. Company contributions, and any related earnings, are vested based on years of service using a graduated vesting schedule with full vesting after three years of service.

The matching contributions by the Company were $20 million, $21 million and $18 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and are included in operating expenses.

The Company also maintains a money purchase pension plan for agents, which was frozen in 2001.

b. Other postretirement benefits

The Company provides certain life insurance and health care benefits (“other postretirement benefits”) for its retired employees and agents, and their beneficiaries and dependents. The health care plan is contributory; a portion of the basic life insurance plan is non-contributory. Substantially all of the Company’s employees and agents may become eligible to receive other postretirement benefits. These benefits are funded as considered necessary by the Company’s management. The postretirement health care plans include a limit on the Company’s share of costs for recent and future retirees.

The initial transition obligation of $138 million is being amortized over 20 years through 2012. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the net unfunded accumulated benefit obligation was $278 million and $247 million, respectively, for employees and agents eligible to retire or currently retired.

are preserved consistent with the widely accepted capital market principle that assets with higher volatility generate a greater return over the long run. Current market factors such as inflation and interest rates are evaluated before long-term capital market assumptions are determined.

The change in the discount rate from 6.00% in 2004 to 5.50% in 2005 is in direct correlation to the change in the Moody’s Aa Corporate Bond rate as of the measurement date of September 30, 2005, which has resulted in an increase in the benefit obligation.

The health care cost trend rate assumption was decreased in 2005 due to favorable claims experience. Assumed health care cost trend rates have an effect on the amounts reported for the health care plans. A one-percentage point change in the assumed health care cost trend rate would have the following effects in 2005:

As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, pension plan assets of $1,238 million and $1,150 million, respectively, were invested in group annuity contracts which invest in the Company’s general and separate accounts.

The Company employs a total return investment approach whereby a mix of equities and fixed-income investments are used to maximize the long-term return of plan assets for a prudent level of risk. Risk tolerance is established through careful consideration of plan liabilities, plan funded status, and corporate financial condition. The investment portfolio contains a diversified blend of equity and fixed-income investments. Furthermore, equity investments are diversified across U.S. and non-U.S. stocks, as well as growth, value, and small and large capitalizations. Alternative assets such as real estate, private equity and hedge funds are used to improve portfolio diversification. Investment risk is measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through quarterly investment portfolio reviews, annual liability measurements, and periodic asset/liability studies.

The Company’s other postretirement benefit plans’ weighted-average asset allocations by asset category are as follows:

The Company invests in highly liquid money market investments and other fixed-income investments to the extent necessary to satisfy reasonably anticipated routine current benefit liability amounts, with additional amounts sufficient to satisfy reasonably anticipated spikes in such liability amounts.

The Company expects to spend $35 million to meet its expected obligations under its nonqualified pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans in 2006.

The expected future pension and other postretirement benefit payments and Medicare prescription drug direct government subsidy receipts, which reflect expected future service, are as follows:

The net expense charged to operations for all employee benefit plans was $165 million, $160 million and $132 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

c. Employee compensation plans

A short-term incentive compensation plan exists that is offered to substantially all employees not covered by another incentive plan. Employees are given an annual bonus based on individual and company performance. The costs associated with the short-term incentive compensation plan were recorded by the Company.

Nonqualified deferred compensation plans are offered allowing certain employees to elect to defer a portion of their compensation. Several shadow investment options are available under these plans. The majority of costs associated with the nonqualified deferred compensation plan were recorded by the Company with less than $1 million being recorded by the MMHLLC.

FF-51

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

Key employees of the Company have been granted performance units in a long-term incentive compensation plan. Under this plan, performance units are granted at the start of each three year performance period. An individual employee’s participation and/or the number of units granted may vary from one cycle to the next based on performance, impact on organization and relative contribution. Each unit’s value is based on the three year consolidated results for the total enterprise on pre-established goals and measures for each performance cycle. Awards are paid at the completion of each three year performance period and are subject to forfeiture if separation from service occurs for reasons other than retirement, death, disability, divestiture or position elimination. During 2005, 25% of the costs were recorded by MMHLLC with the remainder recorded by the Company. In 2004, 50% of the costs related to the long-term incentive plan were recorded by MMHLLC with the remainder recorded by the Company.

Several key employees of the Company and MMHLLC have been granted special compensation agreements which provide fixed amounts that become vested and payable at retirement. These fixed amounts are invested in several shadow investment options specified by each agreement that allow for additional earnings to be credited based on market performance. During 2005, 98% of the costs related to the special compensation agreements were recorded by MMHLLC with the remainder recorded by the Company. In 2004, 99.9% of the costs were recorded by MMHLLC with the remainder recorded by the Company.

14. Federal income taxes

Federal income taxes are based upon the Company’s best estimate of its current and deferred tax liabilities. Deferred income taxes, which provide for book versus tax temporary differences, are subject to limitations and are reported as a separate component of policyholders’ contingency reserves. Accordingly, the reporting of temporary differences, such as reserves and policy acquisition costs, and of permanent differences, such as policyholder dividends and tax credits, results in effective tax rates that differ from the federal statutory tax rate.

The components of the net deferred tax asset recognized in the Company’s assets, liabilities and policyholders’ contingency reserves are as follows:

	December 31,
	2005			2004
	(In Millions)
Total deferred tax assets	$	2,315		$	2,246

During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company paid federal income taxes in the amount of $340 million. In 2004, the Company received federal income tax refunds in the amount of $85 million. In 2003, the Company paid federal income taxes in the amount of

FF-54

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

$107 million. As of December 31, 2005, federal income taxes paid in the current and prior years that will be available for recovery in the event of future net losses were as follows: $21 million in 2005, $76 million in 2004 and $36 million in 2003.

The Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002 suspended the limitation on the deductibility of the Company’s dividends paid to policyholders for 2001 through 2003. The Pension Funding Equity Act of 2004 repealed the limitation for 2005 and later years. Based on data released by the United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) during 2005, the Company revised its estimate used at year end 2004.

The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, enacted October 22, 2004, included a one-time dividend received deduction on the repatriation of certain earnings to a U.S. taxpayer. Certain affiliates of the Company, recorded on an equity method, repatriated $50 million under this provision during the 2005 calendar year. The Company would have paid approximately an additional $6 million in taxes on the repatriated earnings without the one-time dividend received deduction.

The Company plans to file its 2005 federal income tax return with its eligible subsidiaries and certain affiliates. The Company and its eligible subsidiaries and certain affiliates are subject to a written tax-allocation agreement that allocates the group’s tax liability for payment purposes. Generally, the agreement provides that group members shall be compensated for the use of their losses and credits by other group members.

The IRS has completed its examination of the Company’s income tax returns through 2000 and is currently examining 2001 through 2003. Management believes any adjustments that may result from such examinations will not materially impact the Company’s financial position or liquidity. The outcome of a particular matter may be material to the Company’s operating results for a particular period depending upon, among other factors, the size of the matter and the level of the Company’s income for the period.

15. Business risks, commitments and contingencies

a. Risks and uncertainties

The Company operates in a business environment subject to various risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, interest rate risk and credit risk. Interest rate risk is the potential for interest rates to change, which can cause fluctuations in the value of investments and amounts due to policyholders. To the extent that fluctuations in interest rates cause the duration of assets and liabilities to differ, the Company controls its exposure to this risk by, among other things, asset/liability matching techniques that account for the cash flow characteristics of the assets and liabilities. Credit risk is the risk that issuers of investments owned by the Company may default or that other parties may not be able to pay amounts due to the Company. The Company manages its investments to limit credit risk by diversifying its portfolio among various security types and industry sectors. Management does not believe that significant concentrations of credit risk existed as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 or for the three years ended December 31, 2005.

FF-55

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

The Company’s currency exchange risk is related to non-U.S. dollar denominated investments, its medium-term note programs and international operations. The Company mitigates its currency exposures related to its medium-term note programs through the use of derivatives. Capital invested by the Company in its international operations is not subject to currency exchange risk as the assets backing the capital are generally denominated in U.S. dollars.

Asset based fees calculated as a percentage of the separate account assets are a source of revenue to the Company. Gains and losses in the equity markets may result in corresponding increases and decreases in the Company’s separate account assets and related revenue.

b. Leases

The Company leases office space and equipment in the normal course of business under various non-cancelable operating lease agreements. Total rental expense on operating leases was $34 million, $32 million and $39 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Future minimum lease commitments are as follows:

	(In Millions)
2006	$	34
2007		30
2008		26
2009		19
2010		15
Thereafter		23
Total	$	147

c. Guaranty funds

The Company is subject to insurance guaranty fund laws in the states in which it does business. These laws assess insurance companies amounts to be used to pay benefits to policyholders and policy claimants of insolvent insurance companies. Many states allow these assessments to be credited against future premium taxes. The Company believes such assessments in excess of amounts accrued will not materially impact its financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

d. Litigation

The Company is involved in litigation arising in and out of the normal course of business, including purported class action suits, which seek both compensatory and punitive damages. In addition, the Company is engaged in litigation related to the termination of its former Chief Executive Officer in June 2005. Further, the Company, along with several other defendants, has been named in an adversary proceeding in the Enron bankruptcy. While the Company is not aware of any actions or allegations that should

FF-56

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

reasonably give rise to a material adverse impact to the Company’s financial position or liquidity, the outcome of litigation cannot be foreseen with certainty. It is the opinion of management that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not materially impact the Company’s financial position or liquidity. The outcome of a particular proceeding may be material to the Company’s operating results for a particular period depending upon, among other factors, the size of the loss or liability and the level of the Company’s income for the period.

In 2005, the Company received final approval of a nationwide class action settlement resolving litigation proceedings involving alleged sales practices claims. The settlement class includes all policyholders, with certain limited exceptions, who have or had an ownership interest in permanent life policies, term life policies or disability income policies issued between January 1, 1983 and December 31, 2003. The settlement agreement resulted in the establishment of a liability of approximately $268 million in 2004. This estimated amount represents the cost to the Company of the settlement including related expenses. As of December 31, 2005, the Company has paid $81 million of the original estimated liability of $268 million, resulting in a remaining estimated liability of approximately $187 million.

e. Regulatory inquiries

The Company is subject to governmental and administrative proceedings and regulatory investigations in the ordinary course of its business. The Company has cooperated fully with these regulatory agencies with regard to their investigations and has responded to information requests and comments.

These investigations include industry-wide investigations of issues such as (a) late trading and market timing in connection with mutual funds and variable insurance contracts, (b) revenue sharing, and (c) compensation and bidding arrangements and possible anti-competitive activities between insurance producers and brokers and issuers of insurance products. In connection with these investigations, the Company has been contacted by various regulatory agencies and state attorneys general including the Securities and Exchange Commission, National Association of Securities Dealers, Commonwealth of Massachusetts Division of Insurance, State of Connecticut Insurance Department, and the Attorneys General of Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York.

The Company believes that it is reasonable to expect that regulatory inquiries and investigations into the financial services industry will continue for the foreseeable future and may result in new industry-wide legislation, rules, and regulations that could significantly affect the financial services industry as a whole. It is the opinion of management that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not materially impact the Company’s financial position or liquidity. The outcome of a particular matter may be material to the Company’s operating results for a particular period depending upon, among other factors, the size of the matter and the level of the Company’s income for the period.

f. Commitments

In the normal course of business, the Company provides specified guarantees and funding to MMHLLC and certain of its subsidiaries. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had approximately $130 million and $1,325 million of outstanding unsecured funding commitments, respectively, and a $500 million support agreement related to unsecured credit facilities. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had no liability attributable to the funding commitments or support agreement.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into letter of credit arrangements. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had approximately $74 million and $46 million of outstanding letters of credit, respectively. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had no liability attributable to the letter of credit arrangements.

MMHLLC entered into an international asset management agreement that includes guarantees to pay damages suffered by a customer incurred as a result of breach of MMHLLC’s obligation under the agreement, and for any willful default, negligence or fraud by MMHLLC or its subsidiaries. At December 31, 2005, MMHLLC had no outstanding obligations attributable to these guarantees. This guarantee is subject to a $59 million limitation.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into commitments to purchase certain investments. At December 31, 2005, the Company had outstanding commitments to purchase privately placed securities, real estate, mortgage loans and partnerships and LLCs, which totaled $495 million, $55 million, $1,295 million and $2,029 million, respectively. The majority of these commitments have funding periods that extend from one to five years. The Company is not required to fund commitments once the commitment period expires.

The Company had commitments related to property lease arrangements, certain indemnities and commitments made in connection with acquisitions, dispositions, investments and other business obligations in the normal course of business. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had no outstanding obligations attributable to these commitments.

Certain commitments and guarantees of the Company provide for the maintenance of subsidiary regulatory capital and surplus levels and liquidity sufficient to meet certain obligations. These commitments and guarantees are not limited. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had no outstanding obligations attributable to these commitments and guarantees.

In any matter disposed of by settlement or in the event of an adjudication which in the opinion of General Counsel or his delegate does not make a sufficient determination of conduct which could preclude or permit indemnification in accordance with the preceding paragraphs (1), (2) and (3), the person shall be entitled to indemnification unless, as determined by the majority of the disinterested directors or in the opinion of counsel (who may be an officer of the Company or outside counsel employed by the Company), such person’s conduct was such as precludes indemnification under any of such paragraph.

The Company may at its option indemnify for expenses incurred in connection with any action or proceeding in advance of its final disposition, upon receipt of a satisfactory undertaking for repayment if it be subsequently determined that the person thus indemnified is not entitled to indemnification under this Article V.
