SELECT DIMENSIONS LIFE
MODIFIED SINGLE PREMIUM
VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE CONTRACTS

HARTFORD, CT 06104-2999
[LOGO] TELEPHONE (800)231-5453
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Prospectus describes Select Dimensions Life, a modified single premium
variable life insurance contract ("Contract" or "Contracts") offered by ITT
Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company ("Hartford") to applicants age 90
and under. (On January 1, 1998, Hartford's name will change to Hartford Life and
Annuity Insurance Company). The Contract lets the Contract Owner pay a single
premium, and subject to restrictions, additional premiums.
The Contract is a modified endowment contract for federal income tax purposes,
except in certain cases described under "Federal Tax Considerations," page 20. A
LOAN, DISTRIBUTION OR OTHER AMOUNT RECEIVED FROM A MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT
DURING THE LIFE OF THE INSURED WILL BE TAXED TO THE EXTENT OF ANY ACCUMULATED
INCOME IN THE CONTRACT. ANY AMOUNTS THAT ARE TAXABLE WITHDRAWALS WILL BE SUBJECT
TO A 10% ADDITIONAL TAX, WITH CERTAIN EXCEPTIONS.
Generally, the minimum initial premium Hartford will accept is $10,000. The
initial premium will be allocated to the Money Market Portfolio. After the Right
to Cancel Period has expired, the amount so allocated will be transferred to the
Portfolios specified in the Contract Owner's application. The following
underlying investment portfolios ("Portfolios") of the Dean Witter Select
Dimensions Investment Series are available under the Contracts: the Money Market
Portfolio, the North American Government Securities Portfolio, the Diversified
Income Portfolio, the Balanced Portfolio, the Utilities Portfolio, the Dividend
Growth Portfolio, the Value-Added Market Portfolio, the Core Equity Portfolio,
the American Value Portfolio, the Mid-Cap Growth Portfolio, the Global Equity
Portfolio, the Developing Growth Portfolio, and the Emerging Markets Portfolio.
There is no guaranteed minimum Account Value for a Contract. The Account Value
of a Contract will vary up or down to reflect the investment experience of the
Portfolios to which premiums have been allocated. The Contract Owner bears the
investment risk for all amounts so allocated. The Contract continues in effect
while the Cash Surrender Value is sufficient to pay the monthly charges under
the Contract ("Deduction Amount"). The Contract may terminate if the cash
surrender value is insufficient to cover a Deduction Amount, and after
expiration of a specified period, no additional premium payments are made.
The Contracts provide for a Face Amount, which is the minimum death benefit
under the Contract. The death benefit ("Death Benefit") may be greater than the
Face Amount. The Account Value will, and under certain circumstances the Death
Benefit of the Contract may, increase or decrease based on the investment
experience of the Portfolios to which premiums have been allocated. However,
while the Contract is in force, the Death Benefit will never be less than the
Face Amount. At the death of the Insured, Hartford will pay the death proceeds
("Death Proceeds") to the beneficiary. The Death Proceeds equal the Death
Benefit less any Indebtedness under the Contract.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IT MAY NOT BE ADVANTAGEOUS TO PURCHASE VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AS A REPLACEMENT
FOR YOUR CURRENT LIFE INSURANCE OR IF YOU ALREADY OWN A VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE
CONTRACT.

THIS PROSPECTUS IS VALID ONLY IF ACCOMPANIED BY THE CURRENT PROSPECTUSES OF THE
APPLICABLE ELIGIBLE PORTFOLIOS WHICH CONTAIN A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THOSE
PORTFOLIOS. ALL PROSPECTUSES SHOULD BE READ AND RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

- -------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
- -------------------------------- THE CONTRACTS
The Contracts are life insurance contracts with death benefits, cash values,
and other traditional life insurance features. The Contracts are "variable."
Unlike the fixed benefits of ordinary whole life insurance, the Account Value
will, and the Death Benefit may, increase or decrease based on the investment
experience of the Portfolios to which premiums have been allocated. The
Contracts are credited with units ("Accumulation Units") to calculate cash
values. The Contract Owner may transfer the cash values among the Portfolios.
The Contracts can be issued on a single life or "last survivor" basis. For a
discussion of how last survivor Contracts operate differently from single life
Contracts, see "Last Survivor Contracts," page 16.
- ---------------------------------------------------
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT AND THE PORTFOLIOS
Separate Account Five ("Separate Account") funds the variable life insurance
Contracts offered by this Prospectus. Hartford established the Separate Account
pursuant to Wisconsin insurance law and organized as a unit investment trust
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Contracts currently
offer 13 sub-accounts ("Sub-Accounts"), each investing exclusively in a
Portfolio. If an initial premium is submitted with an application for a
Contract, it will be allocated, within three business days of receipt at
Hartford's Home Office, to the Money Market Portfolio. After the expiration of
the Right to Cancel Period, the values in the Money Market Portfolio will be
allocated to one or more of the Portfolios as specified in the Contract Owner's
application. See "The Contract -- Allocation of Premiums," page 10.
Currently, the Portfolios of the Dean Witter Select Dimensions Investment
Series available under the Contracts are: the Money Market Portfolio, the North
American Government Securities Portfolio, the Diversified Income Portfolio, the
Balanced Portfolio, the Utilities Portfolio, the Dividend Growth Portfolio, the
Value-Added Market Portfolio, the Core Equity Portfolio, the American Value
Portfolio, the Mid-Cap Growth Portfolio, the Global Equity Portfolio, the
Developing Growth Portfolio, and the Emerging Markets Portfolio. Applicants
should read the prospectus for the Portfolios accompanying this Prospectus in
connection with the purchase of a Contract. The investment objectives of the
Portfolios are as set forth in "The Separate Account," page 7.

by the respective Portfolio of $50 million of net assets, whichever occurred
first, the Investment Adviser waived the management fee and reimbursed the
operating expenses to the extent they exceeded 0.50% of daily net assets of
the Portfolio.
(2) The Investment Manager has undertaken to assume all expenses of the Mid-Cap
Growth Portfolio and waive the compensation provided for that Portfolio in
its Management Agreement with the Fund until such time as the Portfolio has
$50 million of net assets or until six months from the date of the
Portfolio's commencement of operations, whichever occurs first.
The investment adviser for all the Portfolios is Dean Witter InterCapital
Inc. Dean Witter InterCapital Inc. retains a sub-investment adviser with respect
to some of the Portfolios. See "The Separate Account," page 7.
- ---------------------------------------------------
PREMIUMS
The Contract permits the Contract Owner to pay a large single premium, and
subject to restrictions, additional premiums. The Contract Owner may choose a
minimum initial premium of 80%, 90%, or 100% of the Guideline
<PAGE>
6 ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Single Premium (based on the Face Amount). Under current underwriting rules,
which are subject to change, applicants between the ages of 45 and 80 who pay an
initial premium of 100% of the Guideline Single Premium are eligible for
simplified underwriting without a medical examination if they meet simplified
underwriting standards as evidenced in their responses in the application. For
Contract Owners who pay an initial premium of 80% or 90% of the Guideline Single
Premium or who are below age 45 or above age 80, standard underwriting applies,
except that substandard underwriting applies only in those cases that represent
substandard risks according to customary underwriting guidelines. Additional
premiums are allowed if they do not cause the Contract to fail to meet the
definition of a life insurance contract under Section 7702 of the Code. Hartford
may require evidence of insurability for any additional premiums which increase
the Coverage Amount. Generally, the minimum initial premium Hartford will accept
is $10,000. Hartford may accept less than $10,000 under certain circumstances.
No premium will be accepted which does not meet the tax qualification guidelines
for life insurance under the Code.
- ---------------------------------------------------
DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES
On the Contract Date and on each Monthly Activity Date, Hartford will deduct
a Deduction Amount from the Account Value. The Deduction Amount will be made pro
rata respecting each Sub-Account attributable to the Contract. The Deduction
Amount includes a cost of insurance charge, tax expense charge, administrative
charge, and a mortality and expense risk charge. The monthly cost of insurance
charge is to cover Hartford's anticipated mortality costs. In addition, Hartford
will deduct monthly from the Account Value a tax expense charge equal to an
annual rate of 0.40% for the first ten Contract Years. This charge compensates
Hartford for premium taxes imposed by various states and local jurisdictions and
for federal taxes imposed under Section 848 of the Code. The charge includes a
premium tax deduction of 0.25% and a federal tax deduction of 0.15%. The premium
tax deduction represents an average premium tax of 2.5% of premiums over ten
years. Hartford will deduct from the Account Value attributable to the Separate
Account a monthly administrative charge equal to an annual rate of 0.40%. This
charge compensates Hartford for administrative expenses incurred in the
administration of the Separate Account and the Contracts. Hartford will also
deduct from the Account Value attributable to the Separate Account a monthly
charge equal to an annual rate of 0.90% for the mortality risks and expense
risks Hartford assumes in relation to the variable portion of the Contracts. If
the Cash Surrender Value is not sufficient to cover a Deduction Amount due on
any Monthly Activity Date, the Contract may lapse. See "Deductions and Charges
- -- Monthly Deductions," page 11 , and "Contract Benefits and Rights -- Lapse and
Reinstatement," page 15.
The following table shows the monthly deductions discussed above:

</TABLE>
If the Account Value on a Contract Anniversary is less than $50,000,
Hartford will deduct on such date an Annual Maintenance Fee of $30. This fee
will help reimburse Hartford for administrative and maintenance costs of the
Contracts. See "Deductions and Charges -- Annual Maintenance Fee," page 12.
Hartford may set up a provision for income taxes against the assets of the
Separate Account. See "Deductions and Charges -- Taxes Charged Against the
Separate Account," page 12 and "Federal Tax Considerations," page 20.
Applicants should review the prospectus for the Fund which accompanies this
Prospectus for a description of the charges assessed against the assets of the
Portfolios.
Upon surrender of the Contract and partial withdrawals in excess of the
Annual Withdrawal Amount, a contingent deferred sales charge may be assessed:

</TABLE>
The contingent deferred sales charge is imposed to cover a portion of the
sales expense incurred by Hartford in distributing the Contracts. This expense
includes agents commissions, advertising and the printing of prospectuses. See
"Deductions and Charges -- Contingent Deferred Sales Charge," page 13.
During the first nine Contract Years, an additional premium tax charge will
be imposed on surrender or partial withdrawals at a maximum of 2.25%. See
"Deductions and Charges -- Premium Tax Charges," page 13.

ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY 7
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For a discussion of the tax consequences of surrender of the Contract or a
partial withdrawal, see "Federal Tax Considerations," page 20.
- ---------------------------------------------------
DEATH BENEFIT
The Contracts provide for a Face Amount which is the minimum Death Benefit
under the Contract. The Death Benefit may be greater than the Face Amount. At
the death of the Insured, Hartford will pay the Death Proceeds to the
beneficiary. The Death Proceeds equal the Death Benefit less any Indebtedness
under the Contract. See "Contract Benefits and Rights -- Death Benefit," page
13.
- ---------------------------------------------------
ACCOUNT VALUE
The Account Value of the Contract will increase or decrease to reflect the
investment experience of the Portfolios applicable to the Contract and
deductions for the monthly Deduction Amount. There is no minimum guaranteed
Account Value and the Contract Owner bears the risk of the investment in the
Portfolios. See "Contract Benefits and Rights -- Account Value," page 13.
- ---------------------------------------------------
CONTRACT LOANS
A Contract Owner may obtain cash loans from Hartford. Both types of loans
are secured by the Contract. At the time a loan is requested, the aggregate
amount of all loans (including the currently applied for loan) may not exceed
90% of the difference of the Account Value less any contingent deferred sales
charge and due and unpaid Deduction Amount. See "Contract Benefits and Rights --
Contract Loans," page 14.
- ---------------------------------------------------
LAPSE
Under certain circumstances a Contract may terminate if the Cash Surrender
Value on any Monthly Activity Date is less than the required Monthly Deduction
Amount. Hartford will give written notice to the Contract Owner and a 61-day
grace period during which additional amounts may be paid to continue the
Contract. See "Contract Benefits and Rights -- Contract Loans," page 14, and
"Lapse and Reinstatement," page 15.
- ---------------------------------------------------
CANCELLATION AND EXCHANGE RIGHTS
An applicant has a limited right to return his or her Contract for
cancellation. If the applicant returns the Contract, by mail or hand delivery,
to Hartford or to the agent who sold the Contract, to be cancelled within ten
days after delivery of the Contract to the applicant (in certain cases, this
free-look period is longer), Hartford will return to the applicant within seven
days thereafter the greater of the premiums paid for the Contract or the sum of
(1) the Account Value on the date the returned Contract is received by Hartford
or its agent and (2) any deductions under the Contract or by the Portfolios for
taxes, charges or fees.
In addition, once the Contract is in effect it may be exchanged during the
first 24 months after its issuance for a permanent life insurance contract on
the life of the Insured without submitting proof of insurability. See "Contract
Benefits and Rights -- Cancellation and Exchange Rights," page 15.
- ---------------------------------------------------
TAX CONSEQUENCES
The current federal tax law generally excludes all death benefit payments
from the gross income of the Contract beneficiary. The Contracts generally will
be treated as modified endowment contracts. This status does not affect the
Contracts' classification as life insurance, nor does it affect the exclusion of
death benefit payments from gross income. HOWEVER, LOANS, DISTRIBUTIONS OR OTHER
AMOUNTS RECEIVED UNDER A MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT ARE TAXED TO THE EXTENT OF
ACCUMULATED INCOME IN THE CONTRACT (GENERALLY, THE EXCESS OF ACCOUNT VALUE OVER
PREMIUMS PAID) AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO A 10% PENALTY TAX. SEE "FEDERAL TAX
CONSIDERATIONS," PAGE 20.

ability. These ratings do not apply to the investment performance of the
Sub-Accounts of the Separate Account.

THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
- -------------------------------- GENERAL
Separate Account Five ("Separate Account") is a separate account of Hartford
established on August 17, 1994 pursuant to the insurance laws of the State of
Connecticut and organized as a unit investment trust registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The
Separate Account meets the definition of "separate account" under federal
securities law. Under Connecticut law, the assets of the Separate Account are
held exclusively for the benefit of Contract Owners and persons entitled to
payments under the Contracts. The assets of the Separate Account are not
chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business which Hartford may
conduct.
- ---------------------------------------------------
PORTFOLIOS
The underlying investment for the Contracts are shares of the Dean Witter
Select Dimensions Investment Series, an open-end diversified series investment
company with multiple portfolios ("Portfolios"). The assets of each Sub-Account
of the Separate Account are invested exclusively in one of the Portfolios. A
Contract Owner may allocate premiums among the Portfolios. Contract Owners
should review the following brief descriptions of the investment objectives of
the Portfolios in connection with that allocation. There is no assurance that
any of the Portfolios will achieve its stated objectives. Contract Owners are
also advised to read the prospectus for the Portfolios accompanying this
Prospectus for more detailed information.
MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
Seeks high current income, preservation of capital and liquidity by
investing in the following money market instruments: U.S. Government securities,
obligations of U.S. regulated banks and savings institutions having total assets
of more than $1 billion, or less than $1 billion if such are fully federally
insured as to principal (the interest may not be insured), and high grade
corporate debt obligations maturing in thirteen months or less.
NORTH AMERICAN GOVERNMENT SECURITIES PORTFOLIO
Seeks to earn a high level of current income while maintaining relatively
low volatility of principal, by investing primarily in investment grade
fixed-income securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S., Canadian or Mexican
governments.
DIVERSIFIED INCOME PORTFOLIO
Seeks, as a primary objective, to earn a high level of current income and,
as a secondary objective, to maximize total return, but only to the extent
consistent with its primary objective, by equally allocating its assets among
three separate groupings of fixed-income securities. Up to one-third of the
securities in which the Diversified Income Portfolio may invest will include
securities rated Baa/BBB or lower. See the special considerations for
investments for high yield securities disclosed in the Fund prospectus
accompanying this Prospectus.
BALANCED PORTFOLIO
Seeks to achieve high total return through a combination of income and
capital appreciation, by investing in a diversified portfolio of common stocks
and investment grade fixed-income securities.
UTILITIES PORTFOLIO
Seeks to provide current income and long-term growth of income and capital
by investing in equity and fixed-income securities of companies in the public
utilities industry.
DIVIDEND GROWTH PORTFOLIO
Seeks to provide reasonable current income and long-term growth of income
and capital by investing primarily in common stock of companies with a record of
paying dividends and the potential for increasing dividends.
VALUE-ADDED MARKET PORTFOLIO
Seeks to achieve a high level of total return on its assets through a
combination of capital appreciation and current income, by investing, on an
equally-weighted basis, in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of the
companies which are represented in the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock
Price Index.
CORE EQUITY PORTFOLIO
Seeks long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in common stocks
and securities convertible into common stocks issued by domestic and foreign
companies.
AMERICAN VALUE PORTFOLIO
Seeks long-term capital growth consistent with an effort to reduce
volatility, by investing principally in common stock of companies in industries
which, at the time of the investment, are believed to be attractively valued
given their above-average relative earnings growth potential at that time.
MID-CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO
Seeks long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities
of "mid-cap" companies (that is, companies whose equity market capitalization
falls within the range of $250 million to $5 billion).
<PAGE>
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY 9
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GLOBAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO
Seeks a high level of total return on its assets primarily through long-term
capital growth and, to a lesser extent, from income, through investments in all
types of common stocks and equivalents (such as convertible securities and
warrants), preferred stocks and bonds and other debt obligations of domestic and
foreign companies, governments and international organizations.
DEVELOPING GROWTH PORTFOLIO
Seeks long-term capital growth by investing primarily in common stocks of
smaller and medium-sized companies that, in the opinion of the Investment
Manager, have the potential for growing more rapidly than the economy and which
may benefit from new products or services, technological developments or changes
in management.
EMERGING MARKETS PORTFOLIO
Seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity
securities of companies in emerging market countries. The Emerging Markets
Portfolio may invest up to 35% of its total assets in high-risk fixed-income
securities that are rated below investment grade or are unrated (commonly
referred to as "junk bonds"). See the special considerations for investments in
high yield securities disclosed in the Fund prospectus accompanying this
Prospectus.
The Fund is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is an open-end
diversified management investment company with multiple portfolios under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. Each Portfolio of the Fund is managed for
investment purposes as if it were a separate fund issuing a separate class of
shares. Shares of the Fund are offered to the Separate Account established by
Hartford or one of its affiliated companies specifically to fund the Contracts
and certain flexible premium deferred variable annuity contracts issued by
Hartford or one of its affiliates, as permitted by the Investment Company Act of
1940.
The Portfolios are managed in styles similar to other investment companies
whose shares are generally offered to the public and which are managed by Dean
Witter InterCapital Inc., the Investment Manager, or by TCW Funds Management,
Inc., the Sub-Adviser to certain of the Portfolios. The portfolios of these
other investment companies may, however, employ different investment practices
and may invest in securities different from those in which their counterpart
Portfolios invest and, consequently, will not have identical portfolios or
experience identical investment results.
The Portfolios are available only to serve as the underlying investment for
variable annuity and variable life contracts. A full description of the
Portfolios, including their investment objectives, policies and restrictions,
risks, charges and expenses and other aspects of their operation, is contained
in the accompanying Fund prospectus, which should be read in conjunction with
this Prospectus before investing, and in the Fund Statement of Additional
Information which may be ordered without charge from Dean Witter Select
Dimensions Investment Series.
It is conceivable that in the future it may be disadvantageous for variable
life insurance separate accounts and variable annuity separate accounts to
invest in the Portfolios simultaneously. Although Hartford and the Fund do not
currently foresee any such disadvantages either to variable life insurance or
variable annuity contract owners, the Fund's Board of Trustees intends to
monitor events in order to identify any material conflicts between variable life
and variable annuity contract owners and to determine what action, if any,
should be taken in response thereto. If the Fund's Board of Trustees were to
conclude that separate Portfolios should be established for variable life and
variable annuity separate accounts, Hartford will bear the attendant expenses.
All investment income of and other distributions to each Sub-Account of the
Separate Account arising from the applicable Portfolio are reinvested in shares
of that Portfolio at net asset value. The income and both realized gains or
losses on the assets of each Sub-Account of the Separate Account are therefore
separate and are credited to or charged against the Sub-Account, without regard
to income, gains or losses from any other Sub-Account or from any other business
of Hartford. Hartford will purchase shares in the Portfolios in connection with
premiums allocated to the applicable Sub-Account in accordance with Contract
Owners' directions and will redeem shares in the Portfolios to meet Contract
obligations or make adjustments in reserves, if any. The Portfolios are required
to redeem Portfolio shares at net asset value and to make payment within seven
days.
Hartford reserves the right, subject to compliance with the law as then in
effect, to make additions to, deletions from, or substitutions for the Separate
Account and its Sub-Accounts which fund the Contracts. If shares of any of the
Portfolios should no longer be available for investment, or if, in the judgment
of Hartford's management, further investment in shares of any Portfolio should
become inappropriate in view of the purposes of the Contracts, Hartford may
substitute shares of another Portfolio for shares already purchased, or to be
purchased in the future, under the Contracts. No substitution of securities will
take place without notice to and consent of Contract Owners and without prior
approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission to the extent required by the
Investment Company Act of 1940. Subject to Contract Owner approval, Hartford
also reserves the right to end the registration under the Investment Company Act
of 1940 of the Separate Account or any other separate accounts of which it is
the depositor and which may fund the Contracts.

INVESTMENT ADVISER
Dean Witter InterCapital Inc. ("InterCapital" or the "Investment Manager"),
a Delaware corporation whose address is Two World Trade Center, New York, NY
10048, is the Fund's Investment Manager. The Investment Manager, which was
incorporated in July 1992, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dean Witter, Discover
& Co. ("DWDC"), a balanced financial services organization providing a broad
range of nationally marketed credit and investment products.
On February 5, 1997, DWDC and Morgan Stanley Group Inc. announced that they
had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, with the combined company to
be named Morgan Stanley, Dean Witter, Discover & Co. The business of Morgan
Stanley Group Inc. and its affiliated companies is providing a wide range of
financial services for sovereign governments, corporations, institutions and
individuals throughout the world. DWDC is the direct parent of InterCapital. It
is currently anticipated that the transaction will close in mid-1997.
Thereafter, InterCapital will be a direct subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, Dean
Witter, Discover & Co.
The Fund has retained the Investment Manager to provide administrative
services, manage its business affairs and manage the investment of the Fund's
assets, including the placing of orders for the purchase and sales of portfolio
securities. InterCapital has retained its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dean Witter
Services Company Inc., to perform the aforementioned administrative services for
the Portfolios. For its services, each Portfolio pays the Investment Manager a
monthly fee. See the accompanying Fund prospectus for a more complete
description of the Investment Manager and the respective fees of the Portfolios.
With regard to the North American Government Securities Portfolio, the
Balanced Portfolio, the Core Equity Portfolio and the Emerging Markets
Portfolio, under a Sub-Advisory Agreement between TCW Funds Management, Inc.
(the "Sub-Adviser") and the Investment Manager, the Sub-Adviser provides these
Portfolios with investment advice and portfolio management, in each case subject
to the overall supervision of the Investment Manager. The Sub-Adviser's address
is 865 South Figueroa Street, Suite 1800, Los Angeles, CA 90017.
- ---------------------------------------------------
THE CONTRACT
- --------------------------------
APPLICATION FOR A CONTRACT
Individuals wishing to purchase a Contract must submit an application to
Hartford. A Contract will be issued only on the lives of insureds age 90 at the
time of application and under who supply evidence of insurability satisfactory
to Hartford. Acceptance is subject to Hartford's underwriting rules and Hartford
reserves the right to reject an application for any reason. IF AN APPLICATION
FOR A CONTRACT IS REJECTED, THEN YOUR INITIAL PREMIUM WILL BE RETURNED ALONG
WITH AN ADDITIONAL AMOUNT FOR INTEREST, BASED ON THE CONTRACT RATE BEING
CREDITED BY HARTFORD. No change in the terms or conditions of a Contract will be
made without the consent of the Contract Owner.
The Contract will be effective on the Contract Date only after Hartford has
received all outstanding delivery requirements and received the initial premium.
The Contract Date is the date used to determine all future cyclical transactions
on the Contract, e.g., Monthly Activity Date, Contract Months and Contract
Years. The Contract Date may be prior to, or the same as, the date the Contract
is issued ("Issue Date").
If the Coverage Amount is over then-current limits established by Hartford,
the initial payment will not be accepted with the application. In other cases
where Hartford receives the initial payment with the application, Hartford will
provide fixed conditional insurance during underwriting according to the terms
of a conditional receipt. The fixed conditional insurance will be the insurance
applied for, up to a maximum that varies by age. If no fixed conditional
insurance was in effect, on Contract delivery Hartford will require a sufficient
payment to place the insurance in force.
- ---------------------------------------------------
PREMIUMS
The Contract permits the Contract Owner to pay a large single premium and,
subject to restrictions, additional premiums. The Contract Owner may choose a
minimum initial premium of 80%, 90% or 100% of the Guideline Single Premium
(based on the Face Amount). Under current underwriting rules, which are subject
to change, applicants between ages 45 and 80 who pay an initial premium of 100%
of the Guideline Single Premium (subject to then current premium limits) are
eligible for simplified underwriting without a medical examination if they meet
simplified underwriting standards as evidenced in their responses in the
application. For Contract Owners who pay an initial premium of 80% or 90% of the
Guideline Single Premium or who are below age 45 or above age 80, standard
underwriting applies, except that substandard
<PAGE>
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY 11
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
underwriting applies only in those cases that represent substandard risks
according to customary underwriting guidelines. Additional premiums are allowed
if they do not cause the Contract to fail to meet the definition of a life
insurance contract under Section 7702 of the Code. Hartford may require evidence
of insurability for any additional premiums which increase the Coverage Amount.
Generally, the minimum initial premium Hartford will accept is $10,000. Hartford
may accept less than $10,000 under certain circumstances. No premium will be
accepted which does not meet the tax qualification guidelines for life insurance
under the Code.
- ---------------------------------------------------
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS
Within three business days of receipt of a completed application and the
initial premium at Hartford's Home Office, Hartford will allocate the entire
premium to the Money Market Portfolio. After the expiration of the Right To
Cancel Period the Account Value in the Money Market Portfolio will be allocated
among the Portfolios in whole percentages to purchase Accumulation Units in the
applicable Sub-Accounts as the Contract Owner directs in the application.
Premiums received on or after the expiration of the Right to Cancel Period will
be allocated among the Sub-Accounts to purchase Accumulation Units in such Sub-
Accounts as directed by the Contract Owner or, in the absence of directions, as
specified in the original application. The number of Accumulation Units in each
Sub-Account to be credited to a Contract (including the initial allocation to
the Money Market Portfolio) will be determined first by multiplying the premium
by the percentage to be allocated to each Portfolio to determine the portion to
be invested in the Sub-Account. Each portion to be invested in each Sub-Account
is then divided by the Accumulation Unit Value of that particular Sub-Account
next computed after receipt of the payment.
- ---------------------------------------------------
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUES
The Accumulation Unit Value for each Sub-Account will vary to reflect the
investment experience of the applicable Portfolio and will be determined on each
Valuation Day by multiplying the Accumulation Unit Value of the particular
Sub-Account on the preceding Valuation Day by a "Net Investment Factor" for that
Sub-Account for the Valuation Period then ended. The Net Investment Factor for
each Sub-Account is the net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio
at the end of the Valuation Period (plus the per share dividends or capital
gains by that Portfolio if the ex-dividend date occurs in the Valuation Period
then ended) divided by the net asset value per share of the corresponding
Portfolio at the beginning of the Valuation Period. Applicants should refer to
the prospectus for the Portfolios which accompanies this Prospectus for a
description of how the assets of each Portfolio are valued since such
determination has a direct bearing on the Accumulation Unit Value of the
Sub-Account and therefore the Account Value of a Contract. See also, "Contract
Benefits and Rights -- Account Value," page 13.
All valuations in connection with a Contract, e.g., with respect to
determining Account Value and Cash Surrender Value and in connection with
Contract Loans, or calculation of Death Benefits, or with respect to determining
the number of Accumulation Units to be credited to a Contract with each premium,
other than the initial premium, will be made on the date the request or payment
is received by Hartford at its Home Office if such date is a Valuation Day;
otherwise such determination will be made on the next succeeding date which is a
Valuation Day.
- ---------------------------------------------------
DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES
- --------------------------------
MONTHLY DEDUCTIONS
On the Contract Date, and on each Monthly Activity Date after the Contract
Date, Hartford will deduct an amount ("Deduction Amount") to cover charges and
expenses incurred in connection with a Contract. Each monthly Deduction Amount
will be deducted pro rata from each Sub-Account attributable to the Contract
such that the proportion of Account Value of the Contract attributable to each
Sub-Account remains the same before and after the deduction. The Deduction
Amount will vary from month to month. The Deduction Amount reduces the number of
Accumulation Units credited to the Contract. If the Cash Surrender Value is not
sufficient to cover a Deduction Amount due on any Monthly Activity Date, the
Contract may lapse. See "Contract Benefits and Rights -- Lapse and
Reinstatement," page 15. The following is a summary of the monthly deductions
and charges which constitute the Deduction Amount:
COST OF INSURANCE CHARGE: The cost of insurance charge covers Hartford's
anticipated mortality costs for standard and substandard risks. Current cost of
insurance rates are lower after the 10th Contract Year and are based on whether
100%, 90% or 80% of the Guideline Single Premium has been paid. The current cost
of insurance charge will not exceed the guaranteed cost of insurance charge.
This charge is a guaranteed maximum monthly rate multiplied by the Coverage
Amount on the Contract Date or any Monthly Activity Date. For standard risks,
the guaranteed cost of insurance rate is based on the 1980 Commissioners
Standard Ordinary Mortality Table, age last birthday. (Unisex rates may be
required in some states.) A table of guaranteed cost of insurance rates per
$1,000 will be included in each Contract; however, Hartford reserves the right
to use rates less than those shown in the table. Substandard risks will be
charged at a higher cost of insurance rate that will not exceed rates based on a
multiple of the 1980 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Mortality Table, age last
<PAGE>
12 ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
birthday. The multiple will be based on the insured's substandard rating.
The Coverage Amount is first set on the Contract Date and then on each
Monthly Activity Date. On such days, it is the Face Amount less the Account
Value subject to a Minimum Coverage Amount. The Coverage Amount remains level
between the Monthly Activity Dates.
The Coverage Amount may be adjusted to continue to qualify the Contracts as
life insurance contracts under the current federal tax law. Under that law, the
Minimum Coverage Amount is a stated percentage of the Account Value of the
Contract determined on each Monthly Activity Date. The percentages vary
according to the attained age of the Insured.
EXAMPLE:
Face Amount = $100,000
Account Value on the
Monthly Activity Date = $30,000
Insured's attained age = 40
Minimum Coverage Amount percentage for age 40 = 150%
On the Monthly Activity Date, the Coverage Amount is $70,000. This is
calculated by subtracting the Account Value on the Monthly Activity Date
($30,000) from the Face Amount ($100,000), subject to a possible Minimum
Coverage Amount adjustment. This Minimum Coverage Amount is determined by taking
a percentage of the Account Value on the Monthly Activity Date. In this case,
the Minimum Coverage Amount is $45,000 (150% of $30,000). Since $45,000 is less
than the Face Amount less the Account Value ($70,000), no adjustment is
necessary. Therefore, the Coverage Amount will be $70,000.
Assume that the Account Value in the above example was $50,000. The Minimum
Coverage Amount would be $75,000 (150% of $50,000). Since this is greater than
the Face Amount less the Account Value ($50,000), the Coverage Amount for the
Contract Month is $75,000. (For an explanation of the Death Benefit, see
"Contract Benefits and Rights," page 13.)
Because the Account Value and, as a result, the Coverage Amount under a
Contract may vary from month to month, the cost of insurance charge may also
vary on each Monthly Activity Date.
TAX EXPENSE CHARGE: Hartford will deduct monthly from the Account Value a
tax expense charge equal to an annual rate of 0.40% for the first ten Contract
Years. This charge compensates Hartford for premium taxes imposed by various
states and local jurisdictions and for federal taxes imposed under Section 848
of the Code. The charge includes a premium tax deduction of 0.25% and a federal
tax deduction of 0.15%. The 0.25% premium tax deduction over ten Contract Years
approximates Hartford's average expenses for state and local premium taxes
(2.5%). Premium taxes vary, ranging from zero to more than 4.0%. The premium tax
deduction is made whether or not any premium tax applies. The deduction may be
higher or lower than the premium tax imposed. However, Hartford does not expect
to make a profit from this deduction. The 0.15% federal tax deduction helps
reimburse Hartford for approximate expenses incurred from federal taxes under
Section 848 of the Code. The federal tax deduction is a factor Hartford must use
when computing the maximum sales load chargeable under Securities and Exchange
Commission rules.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE: Hartford will deduct monthly from the Account Value
attributable to the Separate Account an administrative charge equal to an annual
rate of 0.40%. This charge compensates Hartford for administrative expenses
incurred in the administration of the Separate Account and the Contracts.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE: Hartford will deduct monthly from the
Account Value attributable to the Separate Account a charge equal to an annual
rate of 0.90% for the mortality risks and expense risks Hartford assumes in
relation to the variable portion of the Contracts. The mortality risk assumed is
that the cost of insurance charges specified in the Contract will be
insufficient to meet claims. Hartford also assumes a risk that the Face Amount
(the minimum Death Benefit) will exceed the Coverage Amount on the date of death
plus the Account Value on the date Hartford receives written notice of death.
The expense risk assumed is that expenses incurred in issuing and administering
the Contracts will exceed the administrative charges set in the Contract.
Hartford may profit from the mortality and expense risk charge and may use any
profits for any proper purpose, including any difference between the cost it
incurs in distributing the Contracts and the proceeds of the contingent deferred
sales charge.
- ---------------------------------------------------
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE
If the Account Value on a Contract Anniversary is less than $50,000,
Hartford will deduct on such date an Annual Maintenance Fee of $30. This fee
will help reimburse Hartford for administrative and maintenance costs of the
Contracts. The sum of the monthly administrative charges and the annual
maintenance fee will not exceed the cost Hartford incurs in providing
administrative services under the Contracts.
- ---------------------------------------------------
TAXES CHARGED AGAINST THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
Currently, no charge is made to the Separate Account for federal income
taxes that may be attributable to the Separate Account. Hartford may, however,
make such a charge in the future. Charges for other taxes, if any, attributable
to the Separate Account may also be made.
<PAGE>
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY 13
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ---------------------------------------------------
CHARGES AGAINST THE PORTFOLIOS
The Separate Account purchases shares of the Portfolios at net asset value.
The net asset value of the Portfolio shares reflects investment advisory fees
and administrative expenses already deducted from the assets of the Portfolios.
These charges are described in the prospectus for the Portfolios.
<PAGE>
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY 13
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -------------------------------------------
CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE
Upon surrender of the Contract and partial withdrawals in excess of the
Annual Withdrawal Amount, a contingent deferred sales charge may be assessed:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
CONTINGENT DEFERRED
SALES CHARGE
(% of Account Value

9 2.0%
10+ 0.0%
</TABLE>
In determining the contingent deferred sales charge and the additional
premium tax charge discussed below, any surrender or partial withdrawal during
the first ten Contract Years will be deemed first from premiums paid and then
from earnings. If an amount equal to all premiums paid has been withdrawn, no
charge will be assessed on a withdrawal of the remaining Account Value.
The contingent deferred sales charge is imposed to cover a portion of the
sales expense incurred by Hartford in distributing the Contracts. This expense
includes agents commissions, advertising and the printing of prospectuses.
See "Contract Benefits and Rights -- Amount Payable on Surrender of the
Contract," page 15.
- ---------------------------------------------------
PREMIUM TAX CHARGE
During the first nine Contract Years, an additional premium tax charge will
be imposed on surrender or partial withdrawals. The additional premium tax
charge is shown below, as a percent of Account Value, at the end of each
Contract Year:

After the ninth Contract Year, no additional premium tax charge will be

- ---------------------------------------------------
CONTRACT BENEFITS AND RIGHTS
- -------------------------------- DEATH BENEFIT
While in force, the Contract provides for the payment of the Death Proceeds
to the named beneficiary when the Insured under the Contract dies. The Death
Proceeds payable to the beneficiary equal the Death Benefit less any loans
outstanding. The Death Benefit equals the greater of (1) the Face Amount or (2)
the Account Value multiplied by a specified percentage. The percentages vary
according to the attained age of the Insured and are specified in the Contract.
Therefore, an increase in Account Value may increase the Death Benefit. However,
because the Death Benefit will never be less than the Face Amount, a decrease in
Account Value may decrease the Death Benefit but never below the Face Amount.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
EXAMPLES:
A B
--------- ---------
Face Amount..................... $ 100,000 $ 100,000
<S> <C> <C>
Insured's Age................... 40 40
Account Value on Date of
Death.......................... 46,500 34,000
Specified Percentage............ 250% 250%
Account Value on Date of Death X
Specified Percentage........... $ 116,250 $ 85,000
</TABLE>
In Example A, the Death Benefit equals $116,250, i.e., the greater of
$100,000 (the Face Amount) or $116,250 (the Account Value at the Date of Death
of $46,500, multiplied by the specified percentage of 250%). This amount less
any outstanding loans constitutes the Death Proceeds which Hartford would pay to
the beneficiary.
In Example B, the death benefit is $100,000, i.e., the greater of $100,000
(the Face Amount) or $85,000 (the Account Value of $34,000, multiplied by the
specified percentage of 250%).
All or part of the Death Proceeds may be paid in cash or applied under a
"Payment Option." See "Other Matters -- Payment Options," page 17.
- ---------------------------------------------------
ACCOUNT VALUE
The Account Value of a Contract will be computed on each Valuation Day. The
Account Value will vary to reflect the investment experience of the Portfolios,
the value of the Loan Account and the monthly Deduction Amounts. There is no
minimum guaranteed Account Value.
The Account Value of a particular Contract is related to the net asset value
of the Portfolios to which premiums on the Contract have been allocated. The
Account Value on any Valuation Day is calculated by multiplying the number of
Accumulation Units credited to the Contract in each Sub-
<PAGE>
14 ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Account as of the Valuation Day by the Accumulation Unit Value of that
Sub-Account and then summing the result for all the Sub-Accounts credited to the
Contract and the value of the Loan Account. See "The Contract -- Accumulation
Unit Values," page 11.
- ---------------------------------------------------
TRANSFER OF ACCOUNT VALUE
While the Contract remains in effect and subject to Hartford's transfer
rules then in effect, the Contract Owner may request that part or all of the
Account Value of a particular Sub-Account be transferred to other Sub-Accounts.
Hartford reserves the right to restrict the number of such transfers to no more
than 12 per Contract Year with no two transfers being made on consecutive
Valuation Days. However, there are no restrictions on the number of transfers at
the present time. Transfers may be made by written request or by calling toll
free 1-800-231-5453. Telephone transfers may not be permitted in some states.
The policy of Hartford and its agents and affiliates is that they will not be
responsible for losses resulting from acting upon telephone requests reasonably
believed to be genuine. Hartford will employ reasonable procedures to confirm
that instructions communicated by telephone are genuine; otherwise, Hartford may
be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. The
procedures Hartford follows for transactions initiated by telephone include
requirements that callers provide certain information for identification
purposes. All transfer instructions by telephone are tape recorded.
Hartford may modify the right to reallocate Account Value among the
Sub-Accounts if Hartford determines, in its sole discretion, that the exercise
of that right by one or more Contract Owners is, or would be, to the
disadvantage of other Contract Owners. Any modification could be applied to
transfers to or from some or all of the Sub-Accounts and could include, but not
be limited to, the requirement of a minimum period between each transfer, not
accepting transfer requests of an agent acting under the power of attorney on
behalf of more than one Contract Owner, or limiting the dollar amount that may
be transferred among the Sub-Accounts at one time. These restrictions may be
applied in any manner reasonably designed to prevent any use of the transfer
right that Hartford considered to be disadvantageous to other Contract Owners.
As a result of a transfer, the number of Accumulation Units credited to the
Sub-Account from which the transfer is made will be reduced by the number
obtained by dividing the amount transferred by the Accumulation Unit Value of
that Sub-Account on the Valuation Day Hartford receives the transfer request.
The number of Accumulation Units credited to the Sub-Account to which the
transfer is made will be increased by the number obtained by dividing the amount
transferred by the Accumulation Unit Value of that Sub-Account on the Valuation
Day Hartford receives the transfer request.
- ---------------------------------------------------
CONTRACT LOANS
While the Contract is in effect, a Contract Owner may obtain, without the
consent of the beneficiary (provided the designation of beneficiary is not
irrevocable), one or both of two types of cash loans from Hartford ("Regular
Loans" or "Preferred Loans"). Both types of loans are secured by the Contract.
The aggregate loans (including the currently applied for loan) may not exceed at
the time a loan is requested 90% of the Account Value less any contingent
deferred sales charge and due and unpaid Deduction Amount.
The loan amount will be transferred pro rata from each Sub-Account
attributable to the Contract (unless the Contract Owner specifies otherwise) to
the Loan Account. The amounts allocated to the Loan Account will earn interest
at a rate of 4% per annum (6% for "Preferred Loans"). The amount of the Loan
Account that equals the difference between the Account Value and the total of
all premiums paid under the Contract is considered a "Preferred Loan." The loan
interest rate that Hartford will charge on all loans is 6% per annum. The
difference between the value of the Loan Account and the Indebtedness will be
transferred on a pro-rata basis from the Sub-Accounts to the Loan Account on
each Monthly Activity Date.
If the aggregate outstanding loan(s) secured by the Contract exceeds the
Account Value of the Contract less any contingent deferred sales charges and due
and unpaid Deduction Amount, Hartford will give written notice to the Contract
Owner that unless Hartford receives an additional payment within 61 days to
reduce the aggregate outstanding loan(s) secured by the Contract, the Contract
may lapse.
All or any part of any loan secured by a Contract may be repaid while the
Contract is still in effect. When loan repayments or interest payments are made,
they will be allocated among the Sub-Account(s) in the same percentage as,
premiums are allocated (unless the Contract Owner requests a different
allocation) and an amount equal to the payment will be deducted from the Loan
Account. Any outstanding loan at the end of a Grace Period must be repaid before
the Contract will be reinstated. See "Contract Benefits and Rights -- Lapse and
Reinstatement," page 15.
A loan, whether or not repaid, will have a permanent effect on the Account
Value because the Loan Account does not participate in the investment results of
the Sub-Accounts. The longer a loan is outstanding, the greater the effect is
likely to be. The effect could be favorable or unfavorable. If the Sub-Accounts
earn more than 4% per annum, the annual interest rate for amounts held in the
Loan Account, a Contract Owner's Account Value will not
<PAGE>

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
increase as rapidly as it would have had no loan been made. If the Sub-Accounts
earn less than 4% per annum, the Contract Owner's Account Value will be greater
than it would have been had no loan been made. Also, if not repaid, the
aggregate outstanding loan(s) will reduce the Death Proceeds and Cash Surrender
Value otherwise payable.
- ---------------------------------------------------
AMOUNT PAYABLE ON SURRENDER OF THE CONTRACT
While the Contract is in effect, a Contract Owner may elect, without the
consent of the beneficiary (provided the designation of beneficiary is not
irrevocable), to fully surrender the Contract. Upon surrender, the Contract
Owner will receive the Cash Surrender Value determined as of the day Hartford
receives the Contract Owner's written request or the date requested by the
Contract Owner whichever is later. The Cash Surrender Value equals the Account
Value less any contingent deferred sales charges and additional premium tax
charge and all Indebtedness. Hartford will pay the Cash Surrender Value of the
Contract within seven days of receipt by Hartford of the written request or on
the effective surrender date requested by the Contract Owner, whichever is
later. The Contract will terminate on the date of receipt of the written
request, or the date the Contract Owner requests the surrender to be effective,
whichever is later. For a discussion of the tax consequences of surrendering the
Contract, see "Federal Tax Considerations," page 20.
If the Contract Owner chooses to apply the surrender proceeds to a payment
option (see "Other Matters -- Payment Options," page 17), the contingent
deferred sales charge will not be imposed to the surrender proceeds applied to
the option. In other words, the surrender proceeds will equal the Cash Surrender
Value without reduction for the contingent deferred sales charge. However, the
additional premium tax charge, if applicable, will be deducted from the
surrender proceeds to be applied, and amounts withdrawn from Options 1, 5 or 6
will be subject to the contingent deferred sales charge, if applicable.
- ---------------------------------------------------
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
While the Contract is in effect, a Contract Owner may elect, by written
request, to make partial withdrawals from the Cash Surrender Value. The Cash
Surrender Value, after partial withdrawal, must at least equal Hartford's
minimum amount rules then in effect; otherwise, the request will be treated as a
request for full surrender. The partial withdrawal will be deducted pro rata
from each Sub-Account, unless the Contract Owner instructs otherwise. The Face
Amount will be reduced proportionate to the reduction in the Account Value due
to the partial withdrawal. Partial withdrawals in excess of the Annual
Withdrawal Amount will be subject to the contingent deferred sales charge and
any additional premium tax charges. See "Deductions and Charges -- Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge, -- Premium Tax Charge," page 13. For a discussion of the
tax consequences of partial withdrawals, see "Federal Tax Considerations," page
20.
- ---------------------------------------------------
BENEFITS AT MATURITY
If the Insured is living on the "Maturity Date" (the anniversary of the
Contract Date on which the Insured is age 100), on surrender of the Contract to
Hartford, Hartford will pay to the Contract Owner the Cash Surrender Value. In
such case, the Contract will terminate and Hartford will have no further
obligations under the Contract. (The Maturity Date may be extended by rider
where approved, but see "Income Taxation of Contract Benefits," page 21.)
- ---------------------------------------------------
LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT
The Contract will remain in effect until the Cash Surrender Value is
insufficient to cover a Deduction Amount due on a Monthly Activity Date.
Hartford will notify the Contract Owner of the deficiency in writing and will
provide a 61 day period ("Grace Period") to pay an amount sufficient to cover
the Deduction Amounts Due.
The Notice will indicate the amount that must be paid. The Contract will
continue through the Grace Period, but if no additional premium payment is made,
it will terminate at the end of the Grace Period. If the person insured under
the Contract dies during the Grace Period, the Death Proceeds payable under the
Contract will be reduced by the Deduction Amount(s) due and unpaid. See
"Contract Benefits and Rights -- Death Benefit," page 13.
If the Contract lapses, the Contract Owner may apply for reinstatement of
the Contract by payment of the reinstatement premium (and any applicable
charges) shown in the Contract. A request for reinstatement may be made within
five years of lapse. If a loan was outstanding at the time of lapse, Hartford
will require repayment of the loan before permitting reinstatement. In addition,
Hartford reserves the right to require evidence of insurability satisfactory to
Hartford.
- ---------------------------------------------------
CANCELLATION AND EXCHANGE RIGHTS
An applicant has a limited right to return a Contract for cancellation. If
the Contract is returned, by mail or personal delivery to Hartford or to the
agent who sold the Contract, to be cancelled within ten days after delivery of
the Contract to the Contract Owner (a longer free-look period is provided in
certain cases), Hartford will return to the applicant within seven days the
greater of premiums paid for the Contract or the sum of (1) the Account Value on
the date the returned Contract is received by Hartford or its agent
<PAGE>
16 ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and (2) any deductions under Contract or by the Portfolios for taxes, charges or
fees.
Once the Contract is in effect, it may be exchanged during the first 24
months after its issuance, for a non-variable flexible premium adjustable life
insurance contract offered by Hartford (or an affiliated company) on the life of
the Insured. No evidence of insurability will be required. The new contract will
have, at the election of the Contract Owner, either the same Coverage Amount
under the exchanged Contract on the date of exchange or the same Death Benefit.
The effective date, issue date and issue age will be the same as existed under
the exchanged Contract. If a Contract loan was outstanding, the entire loan must
be repaid. There may be a cash adjustment required on the exchange.
- ---------------------------------------------------
SUSPENSION OF VALUATION,
PAYMENTS AND TRANSFERS
Hartford will suspend all procedures requiring valuation (including
transfers, surrenders and loans) on any day a national stock exchange is closed
or trading is restricted due to an existing emergency as defined by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, or on any day the Securities and Exchange
Commission has ordered that the right of surrender of the Contracts be suspended
for the protection of Contract Owners, until such condition has ended.
- ---------------------------------------------------
LAST SURVIVOR CONTRACTS
The Contracts are offered on both a single life and a "last survivor" basis.
Contracts sold on a last survivor basis operate in a manner almost identical to
the single life version. The most important difference is that the last survivor
version involves two Insureds and the Death Proceeds are paid on the death of
the last surviving Insured. The other significant differences between the last
survivor and single life versions are listed below.
1. The cost of insurance charges under the last survivor Contracts are
determined in a manner that reflects the anticipated mortality of the two
Insureds and the fact that the Death Benefit is not payable until the death
of the second Insured. See the last survivor illustrations in "Appendix A,"
page 25.
2. To qualify for simplified underwriting under a last survivor Contract, both
Insureds must meet the simplified underwriting standards.
3. For a last survivor Contract to be reinstated, both Insureds must be alive
on the date of reinstatement.
4. The Contract provisions regarding misstatement of age or sex, suicide and
incontestability apply to either Insured.
5. Additional tax disclosures applicable to last survivor Contracts are
provided in "Federal Tax Considerations," page 20.
- ---------------------------------------------------
OTHER MATTERS
- -------------------------------- VOTING RIGHTS
In accordance with its interpretation of presently applicable law, Hartford
will vote the shares of the Portfolios at regular and special meetings of the
shareholders of the Portfolios in accordance with instructions from Contract
Owners (or the assignee of the Contract, as the case may be) having a voting
interest in the Separate Account. The number of shares held in the Separate
Account which are attributable to each Contract Owner is determined by dividing
the Contract Owner's interest in each Sub-Account by the net asset value of the
applicable shares of the Portfolios. Hartford will vote shares for which no
instructions have been given and shares which are not attributable to Contract
Owners (i.e., shares owned by Hartford) in the same proportion as it votes
shares for which it has received instructions. However, if the Investment
Company Act of 1940 or any rule promulgated thereunder should be amended, or if
Hartford's present interpretation should change and, as a result, Hartford
determines it is permitted to vote the shares of the Portfolios in its own
right, it may elect to do so.
The voting interests of the Contract Owner (or the assignee) in the
Portfolios will be determined as follows: Contract Owners may cast one vote for
each full or fractional Accumulation Unit owned under the Contract and allocated
to a Sub-Account the assets of which are invested in the particular Portfolio on
the record date for the shareholder meeting for that Portfolio. If, however, a
Contract Owner has taken a loan secured by the Contract, amounts transferred
from the Sub-Account(s) to the Loan Account in connection with the loan (see
"Contract Benefits and Rights -- Contract Loans," page 14) will not be
considered in determining the voting interests of the Contract Owner. Contract
Owners should review the prospectus for the Portfolios accompanying this
Prospectus to determine matters on which shareholders may vote.
Hartford may, when required by state insurance regulatory authorities,
disregard voting instructions if the instructions require that the shares be
voted so as to cause a change in the sub-classification or investment objective
of one or more of the Portfolios or to approve or disapprove an investment
advisory contract for the Portfolios.
In addition, Hartford itself may disregard voting instructions in favor of
changes, initiated by a Contract Owner, in the investment policy or the
investment adviser of the Portfolios if Hartford reasonably disapproves of such
<PAGE>
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY 17
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
changes. A change would be disapproved only if the proposed change is contrary
to state law or prohibited by state regulatory authorities. If Hartford does
disregard voting instructions, a summary of that action and the reasons for such
action will be included in the next periodic report to Contract Owners.
- ---------------------------------------------------
STATEMENTS TO CONTRACT OWNERS
Hartford will maintain all records relating to the Separate Account and the
Sub-Accounts. At least once each Contract Year, Hartford will send to Contract
Owners a statement showing the Coverage Amount and the Account Value of the
Contract (indicating the number of Accumulation Units credited to the Contract
in each Sub-Account and the corresponding Accumulation Unit Value) and any
outstanding loan secured by the Contract as of the date of the statement. The
statement will also show premium paid, and Deduction Amounts under the Contract
since the last statement, and any other information required by any applicable
law or regulation.
- ---------------------------------------------------
LIMIT ON RIGHT TO CONTEST
Hartford may not contest the validity of the Contract after it has been in
effect during the Insured's lifetime for two years from the Issue Date. If the
Contract is reinstated, the two-year period is measured from the date of
reinstatement. Any increase in the Coverage Amount as a result of a premium is
contestable for two years from its effective date. In addition, if the Insured
commits suicide in the two-year period, or such period as specified in state
law, the benefit payable will be limited to the Account Value, less any
Indebtedness.
- ---------------------------------------------------
MISSTATEMENT AS TO AGE AND SEX
If the age or sex of the Insured is incorrectly stated, the Death Benefit
will be appropriately adjusted as specified in the Contract.
- ---------------------------------------------------
PAYMENT OPTIONS
The surrender proceeds or Death Proceeds under the Contracts may be paid in
a lump sum or may be applied to one of Hartford's payment options. The minimum
amount that may be applied under a payment option is $5,000, unless Hartford
consents to a lesser amount. Under Options 2, 3 and 4, no surrender or partial
withdrawals are permitted after payments commence. Full surrender or partial
withdrawals may be made from Option 1 or Option 6, but they are subject to the
contingent deferred sales charge, if applicable. Only a full surrender is
allowed from Option 5. A surrender from Option 5 will also be subject to the
contingent deferred sales charge, if applicable.
Hartford will pay interest of at least 3 1/2% per year on the Death Proceeds
from the date of the Insured's death to the date payment is made or a payment
option is elected. At such times, the proceeds are not subject to the investment
experience of the Separate Account.
The following options are available under the Contracts (Hartford may offer
other payment options):
OPTION 1: Interest Income
This option offers payments of interest, at the rate Hartford declares, on
the amount applied under this option. The interest rate will never be less than
3 1/2% per year.
OPTION 2: Life Annuity
A life annuity is an annuity payable during the lifetime of the payee and
terminating with the last payment preceding the death of the payee. This option
offers the largest payment amount of any of the life annuity options since there
is no guarantee of a minimum number of payments nor a provision for a death
benefit payable to a beneficiary.
It would be possible under this option for a payee to receive only one
annuity payment if he died prior to the due date of the second annuity payment,
two if he died before the date of the third annuity payment, etc.
OPTION 3: Life Annuity with 120, 180 or 240 Monthly Payments Certain
This annuity option is an annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of the
payee with the provision that payments will be made for a minimum of 120, 180 or
240 months, as elected. If, at the death of the payee, payments have been made
for less than the minimum elected number of months, then the present value, as
of the date of the payee's death, of any remaining guaranteed payments will be
paid in one sum to the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated, unless other
provisions have been made and approved by Hartford.
OPTION 4: Joint and Last Survivor Annuity
An annuity payable monthly during the joint lifetime of the payee and a
designated second person, and thereafter during the remaining lifetime of the
survivor, ceasing with the last payment prior to the death of the survivor.
Based on the options currently offered by Hartford, the payee may elect that the
payment to the survivor be less than the payment made during the joint lifetime
of the payee and a designated second person.
It would be possible under this option for a payee and designated second
person to receive only one payment in the event of the common or simultaneous
death of the
<PAGE>
18 ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
parties prior to the due date for the second payment and so on.
OPTION 5: Payments for a Designated Period
An amount payable monthly for the number of years selected which may be from
five to 30 years. Under this option, you may, at any time, request a full
surrender and receive, within seven days, the termination value of the Contract
as determined by Hartford.
In the event of the payee's death prior to the end of the designated period,
the present value, as of the date of the payee's death, of any remaining
guaranteed payments will be paid in one sum to the beneficiary or beneficiaries
designated, unless other provisions have been made and approved by Hartford.
OPTION 5 is an option that does not involve life contingencies.
OPTION 6: Death Proceeds Remaining with Hartford
Proceeds from the Death Benefit left with Hartford. These proceeds will
remain in the Sub-Accounts to which they were allocated at the time of death,
unless the beneficiary elects to reallocate them. Full or partial withdrawals
may be made at any time.
VARIABLE AND FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS: When an annuity is effected, unless
otherwise specified, the surrender proceeds or Death Proceeds held in the
Sub-Accounts will be applied to provide a variable annuity based on the pro rata
amount in the various Sub-Accounts. Fixed annuities options are also available.
YOU SHOULD CONSIDER WHETHER THE ALLOCATION OF PROCEEDS AMONG SUB-ACCOUNTS OF THE
SEPARATE ACCOUNT FOR YOUR ANNUITY PAYMENTS ARE BASED ON THE INVESTMENT
ALTERNATIVE BEST SUITED TO YOUR RETIREMENT NEEDS.
VARIABLE ANNUITY: The Contract contains tables indicating the minimum dollar
amount of the first monthly payment under the optional variable forms of annuity
for each $1,000 of value of a Sub-Account. The first monthly payment varies
according to the form and type of variable payment annuity selected. The
Contract contains variable payment annuity tables derived from the 1983a
Individual Annuity Mortality Table with ages set back one year and with an
assumed investment rate ("A.I.R.") of 5% per annum. The total first monthly
variable annuity payment is determined by multiplying the proceeds value
(expressed in thousands of dollars) of a Sub-Account by the amount of the first
monthly payment per $1,000 of value obtained from the tables in the Contracts.
The amount of the first monthly variable annuity payment is divided by the
value of an annuity unit (an accounting unit of measure used to calculate the
value of annuity payments) for the appropriate Sub-Account no earlier than the
close of business on the fifth Valuation Day preceding the day on which the
payment is due in order to determine the number of annuity units represented by
the first payment. This number of annuity units remains fixed during the annuity
payment period, and in each subsequent month the dollar amount of the variable
annuity payment is determined by multiplying this fixed number of annuity units
by the current annuity unit value.
LEVEL VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS WOULD BE PRODUCED IF THE INVESTMENT RATE
REMAINED CONSTANT AND EQUAL TO THE A.I.R. IN FACT, PAYMENTS WILL VARY UP OR DOWN
AS THE INVESTMENT RATE VARIES UP OR DOWN RELATIVE TO THE A.I.R.
FIXED ANNUITY: Fixed annuity payments are determined by multiplying the
amount applied to the annuity by a rate to be determined by Hartford which is no
less than the rate specified in the fixed payment annuity tables in the
Contract. The annuity payment will remain level for the duration of the annuity.
Hartford will make any other arrangements for income payments as may be
agreed on.
- ---------------------------------------------------
BENEFICIARY
The applicant names the beneficiary in the application for the Contract. The
Contract Owner may change the beneficiary (unless irrevocably named) during the
Insured's lifetime by written request to Hartford. If no beneficiary is living
when the Insured dies, the Death Proceeds will be paid to the Contract Owner if
living; otherwise to the Contract Owner's estate.
- ---------------------------------------------------
ASSIGNMENT
The Contract may be assigned as collateral for a loan or other obligation.
Hartford is not responsible for any payment made or action taken before receipt
of written notice of such assignment. Proof of interest must be filed with any
claim under a collateral assignment.
- ---------------------------------------------------
DIVIDENDS
No dividends will be paid under the Contracts.

- ---------------------------------------------------
DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACTS
Hartford intends to sell the Contracts in all jurisdictions where it is
licensed to do business. The Contracts will be sold by life insurance sales
representatives who represent Hartford and who are registered representatives of
Dean Witter Reynolds, Inc. ("Dean Witter"). Any sales representative will have
been qualified to sell variable life insurance contracts under applicable
federal and state laws. Dean Witter is registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
Hartford Securities Distribution Company, Inc. serves as Principal
Underwriter for the securities issued with respect to the Separate Account. HSD
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hartford Life Insurance Company. The principal
business address HSD is the same as that of Hartford.
The maximum sales commission payable to Hartford agents, independent
registered insurance brokers and other registered broker-dealers is 8.0% of
initial and subsequent premiums. From time to time, Hartford may pay or permit
other promotional incentives, in cash or credit or other compensation.
Hartford may provide information on various topics to Contract Owners and
prospective Contract Owners in advertising, sales literature or other materials.
These topics may include the relationship between sectors of the economy and the
economy as a whole and its effect on various securities markets, investment
strategies and techniques (such as value investing, dollar cost averaging and
asset allocation), the advantages and disadvantages of investing in tax-
advantaged and taxable instruments, customer profiles and hypothetical purchase
scenarios, financial management and tax and retirement planning, and variable
annuities and other investment alternatives, including comparisons between the
Contracts and the characteristics of, and market for, such alternatives.
- ---------------------------------------------------
SAFEKEEPING OF THE SEPARATE
ACCOUNT'S ASSETS
The assets of the Separate Account are held by Hartford. The assets of the
Separate Account are kept physically segregated and held separate and apart from
the General Account of Hartford. Hartford maintains records of all purchases and
redemptions of shares of the Portfolio. Additional protection for the assets of
the Separate Account is afforded by Hartford's blanket fidelity bond issued by
Aetna Casualty and Surety Company, in the aggregate of $50 million, covering all
of the officers and employees of Hartford.
<PAGE>
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY 21
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ---------------------------------------------------
FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
- -------------------------------- GENERAL
SINCE THE TAX LAW IS COMPLEX AND SINCE TAX CONSEQUENCES WILL VARY ACCORDING
TO THE ACTUAL STATUS OF THE CONTRACT OWNER INVOLVED, LEGAL AND TAX ADVICE MAY BE
NEEDED BY A PERSON, EMPLOYER, OR OTHER ENTITY CONTEMPLATING THE PURCHASE OF A
CONTRACT DESCRIBED HEREIN.
It should be understood that any detailed description of the federal income
tax consequences regarding the purchase of the Contracts cannot be made in this
Prospectus and that special tax rules may be applicable with respect to certain
purchase situations not discussed herein. In addition, no attempt is made here
to consider any applicable state or other tax laws. For detailed information, a
qualified tax adviser should always be consulted. This discussion of federal tax
considerations is based upon Hartford's understanding of existing federal income
tax laws as they are currently interpreted.
- ---------------------------------------------------
TAXATION OF HARTFORD AND THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
The Separate Account is taxed as a part of Hartford which is taxed as a life
insurance company under Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"). Accordingly, the Separate Account will not be taxed as a
"regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Code. Investment income
and realized capital gains on the assets of the Separate Account (the underlying
Funds) are reinvested and are taken into account in determining the value of the
Accumulation Units (see "Contract Benefits and Right -- Account Value," page
13). As a result, such investment income and realized capital gains are
automatically applied to increase reserves under the Contract.
Hartford does not expect to incur any federal income tax on the earnings or
realized capital gains attributable to the Separate Account. Based upon this
expectation, no charge is currently being made to the Separate Account for
federal income taxes. If Hartford incurs income taxes attributable to the
Separate Account or determines that such taxes will be incurred, it may assess a
charge for such taxes against the Separate Account.
- ---------------------------------------------------
INCOME TAXATION OF CONTRACT BENEFITS
For federal income tax purposes, the Contracts should be treated as life
insurance contracts under Section 7702 of the Code. The death benefit under a
life insurance contract is generally excluded from the gross income of the
beneficiary. Also, a life insurance contract owner is generally not taxed on
increments in the contract value until the contract is partially or completely
surrendered. Section 7702 limits the amount of premiums that may be invested in
a Contract that is treated as life insurance. Hartford intends to monitor
premium levels to assure compliance with the Section 7702 requirements.
During the first 15 Contract Years, an "income first" rule generally applies
to distributions of cash required to be made under Code Section 7702 because of
a reduction in benefits under the Contract.
The Maturity Date Extension Rider allows a Contract Owner to extend the
Maturity Date to the date of the Insured's death. If the Maturity Date of the
Contract is extended by rider, Hartford believes that the Contract will continue
to be treated as a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes after
the scheduled Maturity Date. However, due to the lack of specific guidance on
this issue, the result is not certain. If the Contract is not treated as a life
insurance contract for federal income tax purposes after the scheduled Maturity
Date, among other things, the Death Proceeds may be taxable to the recipient.
The Contract Owner should consult a qualified tax adviser regarding the possible
adverse tax consequences resulting from an extension of the scheduled Maturity
Date.
- ---------------------------------------------------
LAST SURVIVOR CONTRACTS
Although Hartford believes that the last survivor Contracts are in
compliance with Section 7702 of the Code, the manner in which Section 7702
should be applied to certain features of a joint survivorship life insurance
contract is not directly addressed by Section 7702. In the absence of final
regulations or other guidance issued under Section 7702, there is necessarily
some uncertainty whether a last survivor Contract will meet the Section 7702
definition of a life insurance contract.
- ---------------------------------------------------
MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS
A life insurance contract is treated as a "modified endowment contract"
under Section 7702A of the Code if it meets the definition of life insurance in
Section 7702 but fails the "seven-pay" test of Section 7702A. The seven-pay test
provides that premiums cannot be paid at a rate more rapidly than that allowed
by the payment of seven annual premiums using specified computational rules
provided in Section 7702A(c). The large single premium permitted under the
Contract does not meet the specified computational rules for the "seven-pay
test" under Section 7702A(c). Therefore, the Contract will generally be treated
as a modified endowment contract for federal income tax purposes. However, an
exchange under Section 1035 of the Code of a life insurance contract issued
before June 21, 1988 will not

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cause the new Contract to be treated as a modified endowment contract if no
additional premiums are paid and there is no change in the death benefit as the
result of the exchange.
A contract that is classified as modified endowment contract is generally
eligible for the beneficial tax treatment accorded to life insurance. That is,
the death benefit is excluded from income and increments in value are not
subject to current taxation. However, loans, distributions or other amounts
received from a modified endowment contract during the life of the Insured will
be taxed to the extent of any accumulated income in the contract (generally, the
excess of account value over premiums paid). Amounts that are taxable
withdrawals will be subject to a 10% additional tax, with certain exceptions.
All modified endowment contracts that are issued within any calendar year to
the same Contract Owner by one company or its affiliates shall be treated as one
modified endowment contract in determining the taxable portion of any loan or
distributions.
- ---------------------------------------------------
ESTATE AND GENERATION SKIPPING TAXES
When the Insured dies, the Death Proceeds will generally be includible in
the Contract Owner's estate for purposes of federal estate tax if the last
surviving Insured owned the Contract. If the Contract Owner was not the last
surviving Insured, the fair market value of the Contract would be included in
the Contract Owner's estate upon the Contract Owner's death. Nothing would be
includible in the last surviving Insured's estate if he or she neither retained
incidents of ownership at death nor had given up ownership within three years
before death.
Federal estate tax is integrated with federal gift tax under a unified rate
schedule. In general, estates less than $600,000 will not incur a federal estate
tax liability. In addition, an unlimited marital deduction may be available for
federal estate and gift tax purposes. The unlimited marital deduction permits
the deferral of taxes until the death of the surviving spouse (when the Death
Proceeds would be available to pay taxes due and other expenses incurred).
If the Contract Owner (whether or not he or she is an Insured) transfers
ownership of the Contract to someone two or more generations younger, the
transfer may be subject to the generation-skipping transfer tax, the taxable
amount being the value of the Contract. The generation-skipping transfer tax
provisions generally apply to transfers which would be subject to the gift and
estate tax rules. Individuals are generally allowed an aggregate generation
skipping transfer exemption of $1 million. Because these rules are complex, the
Contract Owner should consult with a qualified tax adviser for specific
information if ownership is passing to younger generations.
- ---------------------------------------------------
DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
Section 817 of the Code provides that a variable life insurance contract
(other than a pension plan policy) will not be treated as a life insurance
contract for any period during which the investments made by the separate
account or underlying fund are not adequately diversified in accordance with
regulations prescribed by the Treasury Department. If a Contract is not treated
as a life insurance contract, the Contract Owner will be subject to income tax
on the annual increases in cash value.
The Treasury Department has issued diversification regulations which
generally require, among other things, that no more than 55% of the value of the
total assets of the segregated asset account underlying a variable contract is
represented by any one investment, no more than 70% is represented by any two
investments, no more than 80% is represented by any three investments, and no
more than 90% is represented by any four investments. In determining whether the
diversification standards are met, all securities of the same issuer, all
interests in the same real property project, and all interests in the same
commodity are each treated as a single investment. In addition, in the case of
government securities, each government agency or instrumentality shall be
treated as a separate issuer.
A separate account must be in compliance with the diversification standards
on the last day of each calendar quarter or within 30 days after the quarter
ends. If an insurance company inadvertently fails to meet the diversification
requirements, the company may comply within a reasonable period and avoid the
taxation of policy income on an ongoing basis. However, either the company or
the Contract Owner must agree to pay the tax due for the period during which the
diversification requirements were not met.
Hartford monitors the diversification of investments in its separate
accounts, including the Separate Account, and tests for diversification as
required by the Code. Hartford intends to administer all Contracts subject to
the diversification requirements in a manner that will maintain adequate
diversification.
- ---------------------------------------------------
OWNERSHIP OF THE ASSETS
IN THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
In order for a variable life insurance contract to qualify for tax deferral,
assets in the segregated asset accounts supporting the variable contract must be
considered to be owned by the insurance company and not by the variable contract
owner. The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has issued several rulings which
discuss investor control. The IRS has ruled that incidents of ownership by the
contract owner, such as the ability to select and control investments in a
separate account, will cause the contract owner to be treated as the owner of
the assets for tax purposes.
<PAGE>
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY 23
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Further, in the explanation to the temporary Section 817 diversification
regulations, the Treasury Department noted that the temporary regulations "do
not provide guidance concerning the circumstances in which investor control of
the investments of a segregated asset account may cause the investor, rather
than the insurance company, to be treated as the owner of the assets in the
account." The explanation further indicates that "the temporary regulations
provide that in appropriate cases a segregated asset account may include
multiple sub-accounts, but do not specify the extent to which policyholders may
direct their investments to particular sub-accounts without being treated as the
owners of the underlying assets." Guidance on this and other issues will be
provided in regulations or revenue rulings under section 817(d), relating to the
definition of "variable contract." The final regulations issued under Section
817 do not provide guidance regarding investor control, and as of the date of
this Prospectus, no other such guidance has been issued. Further, Hartford does
not know if or in what form such guidance will be issued. In addition, although
regulations are generally issued with prospective effect, it is possible that
regulations may be issued with retroactive effect. Due to the lack of specific
guidance regarding the issue of investor control, there is necessarily some
uncertainty regarding whether a Contract Owner could be considered the owner of
the assets for tax purposes. Hartford reserves the right to modify the
Contracts, as necessary, to prevent Contract Owners from being considered the
owners of the assets in the separate accounts.
- ---------------------------------------------------
LIFE INSURANCE PURCHASED FOR USE IN
SPLIT DOLLAR ARRANGEMENTS
On January 26, 1996, the IRS released a technical advice memorandum ("TAM")
on the taxability of life insurance policies used in certain split dollar
arrangements.
A TAM, issued by the National Office of the IRS, provides advice as to the
internal revenue laws, regulations, and related statutes with respect to a
specific set of facts and a specific taxpayer. In the TAM, among other things,
the IRS concluded that an employee was subject to current taxation on the excess
of the cash surrender value of the policy over the premiums to be returned to
the employer. Purchasers of life insurance policies to be used in split dollar
arrangements are strongly advised to consult with a qualified tax adviser to
determine the tax treatment resulting from such an arrangement.
- ---------------------------------------------------
FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
If any amounts are deemed to be current taxable income to the Contract
Owner, such amounts will be subject to federal income tax withholding and
reporting, pursuant to the Code.
- ---------------------------------------------------
NON-INDIVIDUAL OWNERSHIP OF CONTRACTS
Legislation has recently been proposed which would limit certain of the tax
advantages now afforded non-individual owners of life insurance contracts.
Prospective Contract Owners which are not individuals should consult a tax
adviser to determine the status of this proposed legislation and its potential
impact on the purchaser.
- ---------------------------------------------------
OTHER
Federal estate tax, state and local estate, inheritance and other tax
consequences of ownership or receipt of Contract proceeds depend on the
circumstances of each Contract Owner or beneficiary. A tax adviser should be
consulted to determine the impact of these taxes.
- ---------------------------------------------------
LIFE INSURANCE PURCHASES BY NONRESIDENT
ALIENS AND FOREIGN CORPORATIONS
The discussion above provides general information regarding U.S. federal
income tax consequences to life insurance purchasers that are U.S. citizens or
residents. Purchasers that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally be
subject to U.S. federal income tax and withholding on taxable distributions from
life insurance policies at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In
addition, purchasers may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes
that may be imposed by the purchaser's country of citizenship or residence.
Prospective purchasers are advised to consult with a qualified tax adviser
regarding U.S., state and foreign taxation with respect to a life insurance
policy purchase.
- ---------------------------------------------------
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no material legal proceedings pending to which the Separate
Account is a party.
- ---------------------------------------------------
LEGAL MATTERS
Legal matters in connection with the issue and sale of modified single
premium variable life insurance contracts described in this Prospectus and the
organization of Hartford, its authority to issue the Contracts under Connecticut
law and the validity of the forms of the Contracts under Connecticut law and
legal matters relating to the federal securities and income tax laws have been
passed on by Lynda Godkin, General Counsel of Hartford Life Insurance Companies.

APPENDIX A
ILLUSTRATIONS OF BENEFITS
The tables in Appendix A illustrate the way in which a Contract operates.
They show how the death benefit and surrender value could vary over an extended
period of time assuming hypothetical gross rates of return equal to constant
after tax annual rates of 0%, 6% and 12%. The tables are based on an initial
premium of $10,000. A male age 45, a female age 55 and a male age 65 with Face
Amounts of $40,161, $33,334 and $19,380, respectively, are illustrated for the
single life Contract. The illustrations for the last survivor Contract assume
male and female of equal ages, including age 55 and 65 for Face Amounts of
$44,053 and $27,778.
The death benefit and surrender value for a Contract would be different from
those shown if the rates of return averaged 0%, 6% and 12% over a period of
years, but also fluctuated above or below those averages for individual Contract
Years. They would also differ if any contract loan were made during the period
of time illustrated.
The tables reflect the deductions of current Contract charges and guaranteed
Contract charges for a single gross interest rate. The death benefits and
surrender values would change if the current cost of insurance charges change.
The amounts shown for the death benefit and surrender value as of the end of
each Contract Year take into account an average daily charge equal to an annual
charge of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolios for investment
advisory and administrative services fees. The gross annual investment return
rates of 0%, 6% and 12% on the Portfolio's assets are equal to net annual
investment return rates (net of the 0.75% average daily charge) of -0.75%, 5.25%
and 11.25%, respectively.
In addition the death benefit and surrender value as of the end of each
Contract Year take into account the (1) tax expense charge equal to an annual
rate of 0.40% of Account Value for the first ten Contract Years; (2)
administrative charge equal to an annual rate of 0.40% of Account Value
attributable to the Separate Account; (3) mortality and expense risk charge
equal to an annual rate of 0.90% of Account Value attributable to the Separate
Account; and (4) any Contingent Deferred Sales Charge and Premium Tax Charge
which may be applicable in the first nine Contract Years.
The hypothetical returns shown in the tables are without any tax charges
that may be attributable to the Separate Account in the future. In order to
produce after tax returns of 0%, 6%, and 12%, the Separate Account would have to
earn a sufficient amount in excess of 0% or 6% or 12% to cover any tax charges
(see "Deductions and Charges -- Taxes Charged Against the Separate Account,"
page 12).
The "Premium Paid Plus Interest" column of each table shows the amount which
would accumulate if the initial premium was invested to earn interest, after
taxes of 5% per year, compounded annually.
Hartford will furnish upon request, a comparable illustration reflecting the
proposed insureds age, risk classification, Face Amount or initial premium
requested, and reflecting guaranteed cost of insurance rates. Hartford will also
furnish an additional similar illustration reflecting current cost of insurance
rates which may be less than, but never greater than, the guaranteed cost of
insurance rates.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors of
ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company:
We have audited the accompanying statutory-basis balance sheets of ITT Hartford
Life and Annuity Insurance Company (a Connecticut Corporation and wholly owned
subsidiary of Hartford Life Insurance Company) (the Company) as of December 31,
1996 and 1995, and the related statutory-basis statements of income, changes in
capital and surplus, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
statutory-basis financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 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.
The Company presents its financial statements in conformity with statutory
accounting practices as described in Note 1 of notes to statutory-basis
financial statements. When statutory-basis financial statements are presented
for purposes other than for filing with a regulatory agency, generally accepted
auditing standards require that an auditors' report on them state whether they
are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The
accounting practices used by the Company vary from generally accepted accounting
principles as explained and quantified in Note 1. In our opinion, because the
differences in accounting practices as described in Note 1 are material, the
statutory-basis financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the financial position
of the Company as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1996.
However, in our opinion, the statutory-basis financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Company as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996
in conformity with statutory accounting practices as described in Note 1.
As discussed in Note 1 of notes to statutory financial statements, during 1994,
the Company changed its valuation method in determining aggregate reserves for
future benefits.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION
ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company ("ILA" or "the Company"),
formerly known as ITT Life Insurance Corporation, is a wholly owned subsidiary
of Hartford Life Insurance Company ("HLIC"), which is an indirect subsidiary of
Hartford Life, Inc. ("Hartford Life"), which is ultimately owned by ITT Hartford
Group, Inc. ("The Hartford"), formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of ITT
Corporation ("ITT"). On February 10, 1997, The Hartford announced its plans to
sell up to 20% of Hartford Life to the public. On December 19, 1995, ITT
Corporation distributed all the outstanding shares of The Hartford to ITT
shareholders of record in an action known herein as the "Distribution". As a
result of the Distribution, The Hartford became an independent, publicly traded
company. During 1996, ILA re-domesticated from the State of Wisconsin to the
State of Connecticut.
ILA offers a complete line of ordinary and universal life insurance,
individual annuities and certain supplemental accident and health benefit
coverages.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying ILA statutory-basis financial statements were prepared in
conformity with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") and the State of
Connecticut Department of Insurance.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with statutory
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 reported period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Statutory accounting practices and generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP") differ in certain significant respects. These differences principally
involve:
(1) treatment of policy acquisition costs (commissions, underwriting and
selling expenses, premium taxes, etc.) which are charged to expense when
incurred for statutory purposes rather than on a pro-rata basis over the
expected life of the policy;
(2) recognition of premium revenues, which for statutory purposes are
generally recorded as collected or when due during the premium paying period
of the contract and which for GAAP purposes, generally, for universal life
policies and investment products, are only recorded for policy charges for
the cost of insurance, policy administration and surrender charges assessed
to policy account balances. Also, for GAAP purposes, premiums for
traditional life insurance policies are recognized as revenues when they are
due from policyholders and the retrospective deposit method is used in
accounting for universal life and other types of contracts where the payment
pattern is irregular or surrender charges are a significant source of
profit. The prospective deposit method is used for GAAP purposes where
investment margins are the primary source of profit;
(3) development of liabilities for future policy benefits, which for
statutory purposes predominantly use interest rate and mortality assumptions
prescribed by the NAIC which may vary considerably from interest and
mortality assumptions used for GAAP financial reporting;
(4) providing for income taxes based on current taxable income (tax return)
only for statutory purposes, rather than establishing additional assets or
liabilities for deferred Federal income taxes to recognize the tax effect
related to reporting revenues and expenses in different periods for
financial reporting and tax return purposes;
(5) excluding certain GAAP assets designated as non-admitted assets (e.g.,
past due agents' balances and furniture and equipment) from the balance
sheet for statutory purposes by directly charging surplus;
(6) establishing accruals for post-retirement and post-employment health
care benefits on an option basis, using a twenty year phase-in approach,
whereas GAAP liabilities are required to be recorded;
(7) establishing a formula reserve for realized and unrealized losses due to
default and equity risk associated with certain invested assets (Asset
Valuation Reserve); as well as the deferral and amortization of realized
gains and losses, motivated by changes in interest rates during the period
the asset is held, into income over the remaining life to maturity of the
asset sold (Interest Maintenance Reserve); whereas on a GAAP basis, no such
formula reserve is required and
<PAGE>
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
realized gains and losses are recognized in the period the asset is sold;
(8) the reporting of reserves and benefits net of reinsurance ceded, where
risk transfer has taken place; whereas on a GAAP basis, reserves are
reported gross of reinsurance with reserve credits presented as recoverable
assets;
(9) the reporting of fixed maturities at amortized cost, whereas GAAP
requires that fixed maturities be classified as "held-to-maturity",
"available-for-sale" or "trading", based on the Company's intentions with
respect to the ultimate disposition of the security and its ability to
affect those intentions. The Company's fixed maturities were classified on a
GAAP basis as "available-for- sale" and accordingly, those investments were
reflected at fair value with the corresponding impact included as a
component of Stockholder's Equity designated as "Net unrealized capital
(loss)/ gain on investments, net of tax". For statutory reporting purposes,
Net Unrealized Capital Losses (Gains) on Common Stocks represent unrealized
losses (gains) on common stock reported at fair value; and
(10) separate account liabilities are valued on the Commissioner's Annuity
Reserve Valuation Method ("CARVM"), with the surplus generated recorded as a
liability to the general account (and a contra liability on the balance
sheet of the general account), whereas GAAP liabilities are valued at
account value.
As of and for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the
significant differences between statutory and GAAP basis net income and capital
and surplus for the Company are summarized as follows:

</TABLE>
AGGREGATE RESERVES AND LIABILITIES FOR PREMIUM AND OTHER DEPOSIT FUNDS
Aggregate reserves for payment of future life, health and annuity benefits
were computed in accordance with actuarial standards. Reserves for life
insurance policies are generally based on the 1958 and 1980 Commissioner's
Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables and various valuation rates ranging from 2.5%
to 5%. Accumulation and on-benefit annuity reserves are based principally on
individual annuity tables at various rates ranging from 2.5% to 8.75% and using
CARVM. Accident and health reserves are established using a two year preliminary
term method and morbidity tables based on Company experience.
ILA has established separate accounts to segregate the assets and
liabilities of certain annuity contracts that must be segregated from the
Company's general assets under the terms of the contracts. The assets consist
primarily of marketable securities reported at market value. Premiums, benefits
and expenses of these contracts are reported in the Statutory Basis Statements
of Income.
During 1994, the Company changed the valuation method on aggregate reserves
for future benefits resulting in a $10.7 million increase in surplus. The new
valuation method is in accordance with presently accepted actuarial standards.
INVESTMENTS
Investments in bonds are carried at amortized cost. Bonds which are deemed
ineligible to be held at amortized cost by the NAIC Securities Valuation Office
("SVO")are carried at the appropriate SVO published value. When a permanent
reduction in the value of publicly traded securities occurs, the decrease is
reported as a realized loss and the carrying value is adjusted accordingly.
Common stocks are carried at market value with the difference from cost
reflected in surplus. Other invested assets are generally recorded at fair
value.
<PAGE>
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in net unrealized capital (losses)/gains on common stocks are
reported as (reductions)/additions of surplus. The Asset Valuation Reserve
("AVR") is designed to provide a standardized reserving process for realized and
unrealized losses due to default and equity risks associated with invested
assets. The reserve decreased by $568 in 1996 and increased by $5,588 and $1,356
in 1995 and 1994, respectively. Additionally, the Interest Maintenance Reserve
("IMR") captures net realized capital gains and losses, net of applicable income
taxes, resulting from changes in interest rates and amortizes these gains or
losses into income over the remaining life of the mortgage loan or bond sold.
Realized capital gains and losses, net of taxes not included in IMR are reported
in the Statutory Basis Statements of Income. Realized investment gains and
losses are determined on a specific identification basis. The amount of net
capital gains reclassified from the IMR was $1,413 and $39 in 1996 and 1995,
respectively, and the amount of net capital losses was $67 in 1994. The amount
of income amortized was $392, $256 and $114 in 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.
OTHER LIABILITIES
The amount reflected in other liabilities includes a receivable from the
separate accounts of $640 million and $333 million as of December 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively. The balances are classified in accordance with NAIC
accounting practices.

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Transactions between the Company and its affiliates within The Hartford
relate principally to tax settlements, reinsurance, service fees, capital
contributions and payments of dividends.
On June 30, 1995, the assets of Lyndon Insurance Company were contributed to
ILA. As a result, ILA received approximately $365 million in bonds and short-
term investments, common stocks and cash, $28 million in policy reserves, $187
million of current tax liability, $26 million in IMR, $8 million in AVR (offset
by an aggregate write-in to surplus), and $4 million of other liabilities. The
assets in excess of liabilities of $112 million were recorded as an increase to
paid-in surplus.
For additional information, see Note 5.
- ---------------------------------------------------
4. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Company and The Hartford have entered into a tax sharing agreement under
which each member in the consolidated U.S. Federal income tax return will make
payments between them such that, with respect to any period, the amount of taxes
to be paid by the Company, subject to certain adjustments, generally will be
determined as though the Company were to file separate federal, state and local
income tax returns.
As long as The Hartford continues to beneficially own, directly or
indirectly, at least 80% of the combined voting power and 80% of the value of
the outstanding capital stock of Hartford Life, the Company will be included for
Federal income tax purposes in the consolidated group of which The Hartford is
the common parent. It is the current intention of The Hartford and its
subsidiaries to continue to file a single consolidated Federal income tax
return. The Company will continue to remit (receive from) The Hartford a current
income tax provision (benefit) computed in accordance with such tax sharing
agreement. Federal income taxes paid by the Company were $29,792, $215,921 and
$20,538 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The effective tax rate was 22%,
25% and 92% in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The following schedule
provides a reconciliation of the tax provision at the U.S. Federal Statutory
rate to Federal income tax expense (in millions).

5. CAPITAL AND SURPLUS AND SHAREHOLDER
DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS
The maximum amount of dividends which can be paid, without prior approval,
by State of Connecticut insurance companies to shareholders is subject to
restrictions relating to statutory surplus. Dividends are paid as determined by
the Board of Directors and are not cumulative. No dividends were paid in 1996 or
1994. ILA paid dividends of $10 million to its parent, HLIC, in 1995. As a
result of the Distribution by ITT, the assets of ITT Lyndon Insurance
<PAGE>
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Company (Lyndon) were contributed to ILA in June 1995. Substantially all the
business was removed from Lyndon prior to the contribution. The amount of assets
which exceeded liabilities at the contribution date ($112 million) was included
in paid-in surplus.
- ---------------------------------------------------
6. PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT
AND POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
The Company's employees are included in The Hartford's non-contributory
defined benefit pension plans. These plans provide pension benefits that are
based on years of service and the employee's compensation during the last ten
years of employment. The Company's funding policy is to contribute annually an
amount between the minimum funding requirements set forth in the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the maximum amount that can be
deducted for Federal income tax purposes. Generally, pension costs are funded
through the purchase of HLIC's group pension contracts. Pension expense was
$358, $1,034, and $1,211 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Liabilities for
the plan are held by The Hartford.
The Company also participates in The Hartford's Investment and Savings Plan,
which includes a deferred compensation option under IRC section 401(k) and an
ESOP allocation under IRC section 404(k). The liabilities for these plans are
included in the financial statements of The Hartford. The cost to ILA was not
material in 1996, 1995 and 1994.
The Company's employees are included in The Hartford's contributory defined
health care and life insurance benefit plans. These plans provide health care
and life insurance benefits for retired employees. Substantially all employees
may become eligible for those benefits if they reach normal or early retirement
age while still working for the Company. The Company has prefunded a portion of
the health care and life insurance obligations through trust funds where such
prefunding can be accomplished on a tax effective basis. Amounts allocated by
The Hartford for post-retirement health care and life insurance benefits expense
(not including provisions for accrual of post-retirement benefit obligations)
are immaterial. The assumed rate of future increases in the per capita cost of
health care (the health care trend rate) was 9.3% for 1996, decreasing ratably
to 6% in the year 2001. Increasing the health care trend rates by one percent
per year would have an immaterial impact on the accumulated post-retirement
benefit obligation and the annual expense. The cost to ILA was not material in
1996, 1995 and 1994.
Post-employment benefits are primarily comprised of obligations to provide
medical and life insurance to employees on long-term disability. Post-employment
benefit expense was not material in 1996, 1995 and 1994.
- ---------------------------------------------------
7. REINSURANCE
The Company cedes insurance to non-affiliated insurers in order to limit its
maximum loss. Such transfer does not relieve ILA of its primary liability. ILA
also assumes insurance from other insurers.
Life insurance net retained premiums were comprised of the following:

</TABLE>
The Company ceded to a third party, on a modified coinsurance basis, 80% of
the variable annuity business written in 1994. The ceded business includes both
general and separate account liabilities. As a result of the agreement, in
December 1994, ILA transferred approximately $1,352 million in assets and
liabilities. The financial impact of the cession was an increase of
approximately $15 million to net income and surplus in 1994.
In November 1994, the Company ceded, on a modified coinsurance basis, 30% of
the separate account variable annuity business distributed by Paine Webber to
Paine Webber Life Insurance Company ("PWLIC"). As a result of the agreement, ILA
transferred approximately $24 million in assets and liabilities to PWLIC. The
financial impact of the cession was an increase of approximately $765 to net
income and surplus in 1994.
In October 1994, the agreement, effective December 1990, which required ILA
to coinsure 90% of all existing and new business, excluding variable annuity
business, written by the Company to HLIC, was terminated. As a result of the
termination, ILA received approximately $430 million in assets and liabilities
from HLIC. The impact of the transaction was a decrease of approximately $15
million to net income and surplus in 1994.
In November 1993, ILA acquired, through an assumption reinsurance
transaction, substantially all of the individual fixed and variable annuity
business of Hartford Life and Accident, an affiliate. As a result of this
transaction, the assets and liabilities of the Company increased approximately
$1 billion, substantially all of which was transferred to the separate accounts
of the Company. The remaining assets and liabilities (approximately $41 million)
were transferred in October 1995. The impact of these transactions on net income
and surplus was not significant.

- ---------------------------------------------------
8. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
The Company maintains separate account assets and liabilities totaling $14.6
billion and $7.3 billion at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Separate
account assets are reported at fair value and separate account liabilities are
determined in accordance with CARVM, which approximates the market value less
applicable surrender charges. Separate account assets are segregated from other
investments, the policyholder assumes the investment risk, and the investment
income and gains and losses accrue directly to the policyholder. Separate
account management fees, net of minimum guarantees, were $144 million, $72
million and $42 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and are recorded
as a component of other revenues on the Statutory Basis Statements of Income.
- ---------------------------------------------------
9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company had no material contingent
liabilities, nor had the Company committed any surplus funds for any contingent
liabilities or arrangements. The Company is involved in various legal actions
which have arisen in the normal course of its business. In the opinion of
management, the ultimate liability with respect to such lawsuits as well as
other contingencies is not considered to be material in relation to the results
of operations and financial position of the Company.
Under insurance guaranty laws in most states, insurers doing business
therein can be assessed up to prescribed limits for policyholder losses incurred
by insolvent companies. The amount of any future assessments on ILA under these
laws cannot be reasonably estimated. Most of the laws do provide, however, that
an assessment may be excused or deferred if it would threaten an insurer's own
financial strength. Additionally, guaranty fund assessments are used to reduce
state premium taxes paid by the Company in certain states. ILA paid guaranty
fund assessments of $1,262, $1,684 and $583 in 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. ILA incurred guaranteed fund expense of $548, $0 and $0 in 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively.

REPRESENTATION OF REASONABLENESS OF FEES
ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company ("Hartford") hereby represents

relation to the services rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred, and the
risks assumed by Hartford.
UNDERTAKING TO FILE REPORTS
Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, the undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission such supplementary and periodic information,
documents, and reports as may be prescribed by any rule or regulation of the
Commission heretofore or hereafter duly adopted pursuant to authority conferred
in that section.
UNDERTAKINGS AND REPRESENTATIONS AS REQUIRED BY RULE 6E-3(T)
1. Separate Account Five meets the definition of "Separate Account" under Rule
6e-3(T).
2. Hartford undertakes to keep and make available to the Commission upon

UNDERTAKING ON INDEMNIFICATION
Article VIII of the Bylaws of ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company, a
Connecticut corporation, provides for indemnification of its officers, directors
and employees as follows:
SECTION 1. No person shall be liable to the Company for any loss or damage
suffered by it on account of any action taken or omitted to be taken by him as
director or officer of the Company, or of any other company, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise for which he serves as a director, officer or
employee at the request of the Company, in good faith, if such person (a)
exercised and used the same degree of care and skill as a prudent man would have
exercised or used under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs, or
(b) took or omitted to take such action in reliance upon advice of counsel for
the Company or upon statements made or information furnished by officers or
employees of the Company which he had reasonable grounds to believe to be true.
The foregoing shall not be exclusive of other rights and defenses to which he
may be entitled as a matter of law.
SECTION 2. The Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, (other than one by or in the right of the Company) by reason
of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of the company ,
or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer or
employee of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonable y incurred by him in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in
a manner he reasonable believed to be in or not opposed to the best
<PAGE>
interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall no, of
itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in
a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Company, and with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
SECTION 3. The Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in
its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or
employee of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a
director, officer or employee of another company, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually
and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of
such action or suit, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, except
that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter
as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or
misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Company unless and only to the
extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine
upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability and in view of all
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses as such court shall deem proper.
SECTION 4. Expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in defending a civil
or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Company in advance of
the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of any
undertaking by or on behalf of the director or employee to repay such amount
unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified
by the Company as authorized hereby.
SECTION 5. The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under
any statute, bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or of disinterested
directors or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to
action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a
person who has ceased to be a director, officer or employee and shall inure to
the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
The registrant hereby undertakes that insofar as indemnification for liability
arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") 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 liabilities (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
<PAGE>
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.

RE: SEPARATE ACCOUNT FIVE
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
FILE NO. 333-00259
Dear Sir/Madam:
I have acted as General Counsel to ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance
Company (the "Company"), a Connecticut insurance company, and ITT Hartford Life
and Annuity Insurance Company Separate Account Five (the "Account") in
connection with the registration of an indefinite amount of securities in the
form of modified single premium variable life insurance contracts (the
"Contracts") with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. I have examined such documents (including the Form S-6
Registration Statement) and reviewed such questions of law as I considered
necessary and appropriate, and on the basis of such examination and review, it
is my opinion that:
1. The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing as a stock
life insurance company under the laws of the State of Connecticut and is
duly authorized by the Insurance Department of the State of Connecticut to
issue the Contracts.
2. The Account is a duly authorized and validly existing separate account
established pursuant to the provisions of Section 38a-433 of the
Connecticut Statutes.
3. To the extent so provided under the Contracts, that portion of the assets
of the Account equal to the reserves and other contract liabilities with
respect to the Account will not be chargeable with liabilities arising out
of any other business that the Company may conduct.
