Item 27. Number of Contract Owners

As of March 1, 1997, 38 contract owners held qualified and non-qualified
contracts offered by the Registrant.

Item 28. Indemnification

Section 33-320a of the Connecticut General Statutes ("C.G.S.") regarding
indemnification of directors and officers of Connecticut corporations provides
in general that Connecticut corporations shall indemnify their officers,
directors and certain other defined individuals against judgments, fines,
penalties, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses actually incurred
in connection with proceedings against the corporation. The corporation's
obligation to provide such indemnification generally does not apply unless (1)
the individual is successful on the merits in the defense of any such
proceeding; or (2) a determination is made (by persons specified in the
statute) that the individual acted in good faith and in the best interests of
the corporation; or (3) the court, upon application by the individual,
determines in view of all of the circumstances that such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to be indemnified, and then for such amount as the court
shall determine. With respect to proceedings brought by or in the right of the
corporation, the statute provides that the corporation shall indemnify its
officers, directors and certain other defined individuals, against reasonable
expenses actually incurred by them in connection with such proceedings, subject
to certain limitations.

C.G.S. Section 33-320a provides an exclusive remedy; a Connecticut corporation
cannot indemnify a director or officer to an extent either greater or less than
that authorized by the statute, e.g., pursuant to its certificate of
incorporation, by-laws, or any separate contractual arrangement. However, the
statute does specifically authorize a corporation to procure indemnification
insurance to provide greater indemnification rights. The premiums for such
insurance may be shared with the insured individuals on an agreed basis.

Travelers Group Inc. also provides liability insurance for its directors and
officers and the directors and officers of its subsidiaries, including the
Depositor. This insurance provides for coverage against loss from claims made
against directors and officers in their capacity as such, including, subject to
certain exceptions, liabilities under the Federal securities laws.

Rule 484 Undertaking

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