This Prospectus describes a group flexible premium variable life insurance
policy (the "Group Policies," and each individually a "Group Policy") and
certificates of insurance (the "Certificates," and each individually a
"Certificate") offered by Hartford Life Insurance Company ("Hartford"). The
Certificates are designed to provide lifetime insurance coverage to the
Insured(s) named in the Certificates, and maximum flexibility in connection with
premium payments and the Death Benefit, together with an opportunity to
participate in the investment experience of ICMG Registered Variable Life
Separate Account A. For a given amount of Death Benefit chosen, the Owner has
considerable flexibility in selecting the timing and amount of premium payments.
In addition to the Initial Premium payment, additional premium payments are also
allowed.
Group Policies may be issued to a Participating Employer or to a trust that is
adopted by a Participating Employer. Eligible employees of Participating
Employers may own Certificates issued under their respective Participating
Employer's Group Policy. The Owners possess all rights and interests under the
Group Policy. The Owners are provided with the Certificates, which describe each
Owner's rights, benefits, and options under the Group Policy.
Sales agents can provide prospective purchasers with individualized sales
illustrations which reflect all the fees and charges associated with the
Certificate options selected.
The Certificates provide for a Death Benefit, pursuant to which Death Proceeds
are payable at the Insured's death. You may select one of two Death Benefit
options. Death Benefit Option A is an amount equal to the larger of (1) the Face
Amount and (2) the Variable Insurance Amount. Death Benefit Option B is an
amount equal to the larger of (1) the Face Amount plus the Cash Value and (2)
the Variable Insurance Amount. The Death Proceeds payable to the Beneficiary
equal the Death Benefit less any Debt outstanding under the Certificate plus any
rider benefits payable.
The Investment Value of a Certificate will also vary up or down to reflect the
investment experience of the Investment Divisions to which Net Premiums have
been allocated. The Owner bears the investment risk for all amounts so
allocated.
The Portfolios underlying the Investment Divisions presently are: shares of
Class IA of the Hartford Capital Appreciation HLS Fund, Inc. ("Hartford Capital
Appreciation Fund"), shares of Class IA of the Hartford Bond HLS Fund, Inc.
("Hartford Bond Fund") and shares of Class IA of the Hartford Money Market HLS
Fund, Inc. ("Hartford Money Market Fund"), the Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio,

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
THE GROUP POLICY
The Group Policies, and the Certificates, offered by this Prospectus are
funded by the Separate Account, a separate account established by Hartford
pursuant to Connecticut insurance law and organized as a unit investment trust
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The
Separate Account has 25 Investment Divisions dedicated to the Group Policies,
each of which invests solely in a corresponding Portfolio of the Funds.
Depending upon the state of issuance of Your Certificate and the applicable
provisions of Your Certificate, Your initial Net Premium will, when Your
Certificate is issued, either be (1) invested in the Hartford Money Market
Investment Division during the right to examine period or (2) invested
immediately in Your chosen Investment Divisions, upon Our receipt thereof. IF
YOUR INITIAL NET PREMIUM IS INVESTED IMMEDIATELY IN YOUR CHOSEN INVESTMENT
DIVISIONS, YOU WILL BEAR FULL INVESTMENT RISK FOR ANY AMOUNTS ALLOCATED TO THE
INVESTMENT DIVISIONS DURING THE RIGHT TO EXAMINE PERIOD. Please note that this
automatic immediate investment feature only applies if Your Certificate so
specifies. Please check with Your agent to determine the status of Your
Certificate. You must fill out and send Us the appropriate form In Writing or
comply with other designated Hartford procedures if You would like to change how
subsequent Net Premiums are allocated. See "Allocation of Premium Payments,"
page 14.
Pursuant to the Certificates, each selected Investment Division is credited
with Accumulation Units and each selected Investment Division's assets are
invested in the applicable underlying Portfolio. Subject to certain
restrictions, an Owner may transfer amounts among the available Investment
Divisions. See "Detailed Description of Certificate Benefits and Provisions --
Transfers Among Investment Divisions," page 16.
The Group Policies are life insurance policies and the Certificates
evidencing an Owner's interest in the Group Policies provide for death benefits,
cash values, and other features traditionally associated with life insurance.
The Group Policies are "flexible premium" because, once the desired level and
pattern of the Death Benefit have been determined, a purchaser has considerable
flexibility in the selection of the timing and amount of premium to be paid. The
Group Policies are called "variable" because, unlike the fixed benefits of an
ordinary whole life insurance policy, the Investment Value under a Certificate
will, and the Death Benefit may, increase or decrease depending on the
investment experience of the Investment Divisions to which the Net Premiums have
been allocated. See "Detailed Description of Certificate Benefits and Provisions
- -- Death Benefit," page 18.
DEATH BENEFIT
The Certificates provide for two Death Benefit options. Under Death Benefit
Option A, the Death Benefit is an amount equal to the larger of (1) the Face
Amount and (2) the Variable Insurance Amount. Under Death Benefit Option B, the
Death Benefit is an amount equal to the larger of (1) the Face Amount plus the
Cash Value and (2) the Variable Insurance Amount. We will pay the Death Proceeds
to the Beneficiary upon proof of death of the Insured before the Maturity Date.
The Death Proceeds equal the Death Benefit less outstanding Debt plus any rider
benefits payable under the Certificate. See "Detailed Description of Certificate
Benefits and Provisions -- Death Benefit," page 18.
PREMIUM
You have considerable flexibility as to when and in what amounts You pay
premiums.
No premium payment will be accepted which causes the Certificate to fail to
meet the tax qualification guidelines for life insurance under the Code.
GENERAL ACCOUNT
Amounts allocated to the Loan Account to secure a Loan become part of the
General Account assets of Hartford. Hartford invests the assets of the General
Account in accordance with applicable law governing the investments of insurance
company general accounts. See "Detailed Description of Certificate Benefits and
Provisions -- Loans," page 17.
DEDUCTIONS FROM PREMIUM
Prior to the allocation of premiums to the selected Investment Divisions, a
deduction as a percentage of premium is made for the front-end sales load, state
and local premium taxes, and the Deferred Acquisition Cost ("DAC") tax charge.
The amount of each premium allocated among the Investment Divisions is Your Net
Premium.
FRONT-END SALES LOAD
When We receive a Premium Payment, We deduct a front-end sales load. The
current front-end sales load is 6.75% of any premium paid for Coverage Years 1
through 7 and 4.75% of any premium paid in Coverage Years 8 and later. The
maximum front-end sales load is 9% of any premium paid for Coverage Years 1
through 7 and 7% of any premium paid in Coverage Years 8 and later.
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 7
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The front-end sales load covers expenses relating to the sale and
distribution of the Certificates and may be reduced for certain sales of the
Certificates under circumstances which result in savings of such sales and
distribution expenses. For more information concerning the front-end sales load,
see "Detailed Description of Certificate Benefits and Provisions -- Deductions
from Premium," page 21.
LIMITS ON FRONT-END SALES LOAD
Certain insurance laws and regulations limit the front-end sales load which
can be assessed against the Certificates. The front-end sales load assessed in
the Certificates complies with these limitations.
PREMIUM RELATED TAX CHARGE
We deduct a percentage of each premium to cover taxes assessed against
Hartford by various states, municipalities and other jurisdictions that are
attributable to premiums. The percentage actually deducted will vary by locale
depending on the tax rates in effect there. The range is generally between 0%
and 4%.
DAC TAX CHARGE
Hartford deducts 1.25% of each premium to cover a federal premium tax
assessed against Hartford. This charge is reasonable in relation to Hartford's
federal income tax burden, under Code Section 848, resulting from the receipt of
premiums. We will adjust the charge based on changes in the applicable tax law.
DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES
FROM INVESTMENT VALUE
As with many other types of insurance policies, each Certificate will have
an Investment Value. The Investment Value of the Certificate will increase or
decrease to reflect the investment experience of the chosen Investment
Divisions, deductions for the Monthly Deduction Amount and any amounts
transferred from the Investment Divisions into the Loan Account. There is no
minimum guaranteed Investment Value and the Owner bears the risk of the
investment in the underlying Portfolios. See "Detailed Description of
Certificate Benefits and Provisions -- Deductions and Charges from Investment
Value," page 21.
We will subtract amounts from Your Investment Value to provide for the
Monthly Deduction Amount. These will be taken from the Charge Deduction
Division, as specified in the Certificate. If there is insufficient Investment
Value in the Charge Deduction Division:
(1) Hartford will apply the Investment Value of the Charge Deduction Division to
the charges due and set the Investment Value in the Charge Deduction
Division to zero; and
(2) any additional amount due will be deducted from the remaining Investment
Divisions on a Pro Rata Basis.
If no Charge Deduction Division is selected, any amounts due will be taken
on a Pro Rata Basis from Your chosen Investment Divisions on each Processing
Date.
The Monthly Deduction Amount equals:
(a) the administrative expense charge; plus
(b) the charges for cost of insurance; plus
(c) the charges for additional benefits provided by rider, if any.
Hartford may also set up a provision for income taxes imposed on the assets
of the Separate Account. See "Deductions and Charges from Investment Value,"
page 21, and "Federal Tax Considerations," page 29.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
A charge is made for mortality and expense risks assumed by Hartford.
Hartford currently deducts a daily charge for Coverage Years 1 through 10 at an
effective annual rate of .65% of the value of each Investment Division's assets

Portfolios.

(1) Management Fee generally represents the fees paid to the investment adviser
or its affiliate for investment and administrative services provided. Other
Expenses are expenses (other than Management Fees) which are deducted from
the fund including legal, accounting and custodian fees. For complete
description of the nature of the services provided in consideration of the
operating expenses deducted, please see the Fund prospectuses.
(2) Neuberger & Berman AMT is divided into Portfolios, each of which invests all
of its net investable assets in a corresponding series of Advisers Managers
Trust. The figures reported under Management Fee include the aggregate of
the administration fees paid by the Portfolio and the management fee paid by
its corresponding series of Advisers Managers Trust. Similarly, Other
Expenses includes all other expenses of the Portfolio and its corresponding
series of Advisers Managers Trust.
(3) A portion of the brokerage commissions that certain funds pay was used to
reduce fund expenses. In addition, certain funds have entered into
arrangements with their custodian and transfer agent whereby credits
realized, as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce
custodian expenses. Including these reductions, the total operating expenses
presented in the table would have been 0.710% for VIP High Income Portfolio,
0.570% for VIP Equity-Income Portfolio, 0.900% for VIP Overseas Portfolio,
and 0.640% for VIP II Asset Manager Portfolio.
(4) Pursuant to a voluntary agreement, fees and expenses were reimbursed to the

net assets of J.P. Morgan Bond Portfolio, J.P. Morgan Equity Portfolio, J.P.
Morgan Small Company Portfolio and J.P. Morgan International Opportunities
Portfolio, respectively. Without such reimbursement, total expenses would
have been 1.910%, 2.310%, 3.810% and 4.250% for J.P. Morgan Bond Portfolio,
J.P. Morgan Equity Portfolio, J.P. Morgan Small Company Portfolio and J.P.
Morgan International Opportunities Portfolio, respectively.
(5) With respect to the MS Fixed Income, MS High Yield, MS Equity Growth, MS

investment adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive its investment advisory
fees and to

LOANS
An Owner may obtain a cash Loan from Hartford. The Loan is secured by the
Owner's Certificate. The maximum Loan amount is equal to the sum of the Cash
Surrender Value plus outstanding Debt, multiplied by .90, less outstanding Debt.
See "Detailed Description of Certificate Benefits and Provisions -- Loans," page
17.
THE RIGHT TO EXAMINE THE CERTIFICATE
An applicant has a limited right to return his or her Certificate. Subject
to applicable state regulations, if the applicant returns the Certificate within
10 calendar days after delivery of the Certificate Hartford will return to the
applicant, within seven days thereafter, either (i) the premium paid or (ii) the
Cash Value under the Certificate plus charges deducted. See "The Right to
Examine the Certificate," page 20.
TAX CONSEQUENCES
The current federal tax law generally excludes all Death Benefit payments
from the gross income of the Beneficiary under the Certificate. See "Federal Tax
Considerations," page 29.
There are circumstances when the Certificate may become a Modified Endowment
Contract under Federal tax law. If it does, Loans and other pre-death
distributions are includable in gross income on an income-first basis. A 10%
penalty tax may be imposed on income distributed before the insured attains age
59 1/2. Prospective purchasers and Owners are advised to consult a qualified tax
adviser before taking steps that may affect whether the Certificate becomes a
Modified Endowment Contract. Hartford has instituted procedures to monitor
whether a Certificate may become a Modified Endowment Contract after issue. See
"Federal Tax Considerations -- Modified Endowment Contracts" for a discussion of
the "seven-pay" test, page 30.
HARTFORD
Hartford Life Insurance Company ("Hartford") is a stock life insurance
company engaged in the business of writing life insurance, both individual and
group, in all states of the United States and the District of Columbia. Hartford
was originally incorporated under the laws of Massachusetts on June 5, 1902, and
was subsequently redomiciled to Connecticut. Its offices are located in
Simsbury, Connecticut; however, its mailing address is P.O. Box 2999, Hartford,
CT 06104-2999. Hartford is ultimately controlled by The Hartford Financial
Services Group, Inc., one of the largest financial service providers in the
United States.
Hartford is rated A+ (superior) by A.M. Best and Company, Inc., on the basis
of its financial soundness and operating performance. Hartford is rated AA by
Standard & Poor's on the basis of its insurer financial strength and AA+ by Duff
and Phelps on the basis of its claims paying ability. These rating do not apply
to the investment performance of the Investment Divisions. The rating apply to
Hartford's ability to meet its insurance obligations, including those described
in this Prospectus.
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
The insurance benefits under the Group Policies are provided through
investments made in ICMG Registered Variable Life Separate Account A, a separate
account established by Hartford on April 14, 1998, under the insurance laws of
the State of Connecticut, pursuant to a resolution of Hartford's Board of
Directors. The Separate Account is organized as a unit investment trust and is
registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act. Such registration does not signify
that the SEC supervises the management or the investment practices or policies
of the Separate Account. The Separate Account meets the definition of a
"separate account" under the federal securities laws.
<PAGE>
10 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Under Connecticut law, the assets of the Separate Account are held
exclusively for the benefit of Owners and persons entitled to payments under the
Group Policies and the Certificates and owners of any other policies which may
be available through the Separate Account. The assets of the Separate Account
are owned by Hartford and the obligations under the Group Policies and the
Certificates are obligations of Hartford. These assets are held separately from
the other assets of Hartford and income, gains and losses incurred on the assets
in the Separate Account, whether or not realized, are credited to or charged
against the Separate Account without regard to other income, gains or losses of
Hartford (except to the extent that assets in the Separate Account exceed the
reserves and other liabilities of the Separate Account). Therefore, the
investment performance of the Separate Account is entirely independent of the
investment performance of the General Account assets or any other separate
account maintained by Hartford.
The Separate Account has 25 Investment Divisions dedicated to the Group
Policies, each of which invests solely in a corresponding Portfolio of the
Funds. Additional Investment Divisions may be established at the discretion of
Hartford. The Separate Account may include other divisions which will not be
available under the Group Policies.
THE FUNDS
GENERAL
The shares of the Portfolios are sold by the Funds to the Separate Account.
The assets of the Separate Account attributable to the Group Policies are
invested exclusively in the Investment Divisions. An Owner may allocate Net
Premium payments among the Investment Divisions. Owners should review the brief
descriptions of the investment objectives of each of the Portfolios in
connection with that allocation. See "The Funds -- The Portfolios," page 11.
Each Fund continually issues an unlimited number of full and fractional
shares of beneficial interest in the relevant Portfolios. In addition to being
offered to the Separate Account, each Fund's shares are or may be offered to
other separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life
insurance policies issued by Hartford or its affiliates and to separate accounts
of other insurance companies. It is conceivable that in the future it may become
disadvantageous for both variable annuity and variable life insurance separate
accounts or for separate accounts of other life insurance companies to invest in
shares of the Funds simultaneously. Although neither Hartford nor any of the
Funds currently foresees any such disadvantage, each Fund's Board of Directors
or Board of Trustees, as applicable (collectively, the "Boards"), will monitor
events in order to identify any material conflict between different variable
annuity and variable life owners and to determine what action, if any, should be
taken in response thereto, including the possible withdrawal of the Separate
Account's participation in any of the Funds. Material conflicts could result
from such things as (1) changes in state insurance law, (2) changes in federal
income tax law, (3) changes in the investment management of any Portfolio, or
(4) differences between voting instructions given by variable annuity and
variable life owners. If the Boards were to conclude that separate underlying
funds should be established for variable annuity and variable life insurance
separate accounts, Hartford will bear the attendant expenses.
All investment income of, and other distributions to, each Investment
Division arising from the applicable Portfolio are reinvested in shares of that
Portfolio at net asset value. Hartford will purchase Portfolio shares in
connection with Net Premium payments allocated to the applicable Investment
Division in accordance with Owners' instructions and will redeem Portfolio
shares to meet obligations under the Group Policies and the Certificates or make
adjustments in reserves, if any. The Funds are required to redeem Portfolio
shares at net asset value and generally to make payment within seven (7)
calendar days.
Applicants should read the Fund prospectuses accompanying this Prospectus in
connection with the purchase of a Certificate.
HARTFORD FUNDS
The Separate Account currently invests in three Funds sponsored by Hartford
that are available as part of OmniSource-SM- -- the Hartford Capital

THE PORTFOLIOS
HARTFORD CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND
Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund seeks to achieve growth of capital by
investing in equity securities selected solely on the basis of potential for
capital appreciation.
<PAGE>
12 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HARTFORD BOND FUND
Hartford Bond Fund seeks to achieve maximum current income consistent with
preservation of capital by investing primarily in fixed-income securities. Up to
20% of the total assets of the Portfolio may be invested in debt securities
rated in the highest category below investment grade ("Ba" by Moody's Investor
Services, Inc. or "BB" by Standard & Poor's) or, if unrated, are determined to
be of comparable quality by the Portfolio's investment adviser. Securities rated
below investment grade are commonly referred to as "high yield-high risk
securities" or "junk bonds." For more information concerning the risks
associated with investing in such securities, please refer to the section in the
accompanying prospectus for the Hartford Funds entitled "High Yield -- High Risk
Debt Securities."
HARTFORD MONEY MARKET FUND
Hartford Money Market Fund seeks to achieve maximum current income
consistent with liquidity and preservation of capital.
LIMITED MATURITY BOND PORTFOLIO
N&B AMT Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio seeks to achieve the highest current
income consistent with low risk to principal and liquidity; and secondarily,
total return. This Portfolio invests in a diversified portfolio primarily
consisting of short to intermediate term U.S. government and agency securities
and investment grade debt securities issued by financial institutions,
corporations, and others. The Portfolio may invest up to 10% of its net assets,
measured at the time of investment, in fixed-income securities that are below
investment grade.
BALANCED PORTFOLIO
N&B AMT Balanced Portfolio seeks to achieve long-term capital growth and
reasonable current income without undue risk to principal. It is anticipated
that the Portfolio's investment program will normally be managed so that
approximately 60% of its total assets will be invested in common and preferred
stocks and the remaining assets will be invested in debt securities, primarily
investment grade. However, depending on the investment manager's views regarding
current market trends, the common stock portion of its portfolio investments may
be adjusted downward to as low as 50% or upward to as high as 70%. At least 25%
of its assets will be invested in fixed income securities.
PARTNERS PORTFOLIO
N&B AMT Partners Portfolio seeks to achieve capital growth. This Portfolio's
investment approach is to invest principally in common stocks of medium to large
capitalization established companies, using a value-oriented investment approach
designed to increase capital with reasonable risk. Its investment program seeks
securities believed to be undervalued based on strong fundamentals such as low
price-to-earnings ratios, consistent cash flow and the company's track record
through all parts of the market cycle.
VIP HIGH INCOME PORTFOLIO
VIP High Income Portfolio seeks high current income primarily through
investments in all types of income-producing debt securities, preferred stocks
and convertible securities. Although the Portfolio has no limits on the quality
and maturity of its investments, its strategy typically leads to longer-term,
lower-quality, fixed-income securities. These domestic and foreign investments
may present the risk of default or may be in default.
VIP EQUITY-INCOME PORTFOLIO
VIP Equity-Income Portfolio seeks reasonable income by investing primarily
in income-producing equity securities. In choosing these securities, the
Portfolio will also consider the potential for capital appreciation. This
Portfolio's goal is to achieve a yield which exceeds the composite yield on the
securities comprising the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks
(commonly referred to as "S&P 500"). The Portfolio may invest in high yielding,
lower-rated securities (commonly referred to as "junk bonds") which are subject
to greater risk than investments in higher-rated securities.
VIP OVERSEAS PORTFOLIO
VIP Overseas Portfolio seeks long-term growth of capital primarily through
investments in foreign securities and provides a means for aggressive investors
to diversify their own portfolios by participating in companies and economies
outside of the United States. International investing involves increased or
additional risks compared to investing primarily in domestic equity securities.
VIP II ASSET MANAGER PORTFOLIO
VIP II Asset Manager Portfolio seeks high total return with reduced risk
over the long term by allocating its assets among domestic and foreign stocks,
bonds and short-term instruments.
ALGER AMERICAN SMALL CAPITALIZATION PORTFOLIO
Alger American Small Capitalization Portfolio seeks long-term capital
appreciation by investing in a diversified, actively managed portfolio of equity
securities, primarily of companies with total market capitalization within the
range of companies included in the Russell 2000 Growth Index or the S&P SmallCap
600 Index, updated quarterly.
ALGER AMERICAN GROWTH PORTFOLIO
Alger American Growth Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation by
investing in a diversified, actively managed portfolio of equity securities,
primarily of companies with total market capitalization of $1 billion or
greater.

of its total assets in fixed income securities, not more than 20% of which will
be below investment grade (commonly referred to as "high yield securities" or
"junk bonds").

MS High Yield Portfolio seeks above average total return over a market cycle
of three to five years by investing at least 65% of its total assets in high

when consistent with its objective.

index containing approximately 1,100 equity securities of companies located

accompanying this Prospectus for more detailed information. Each Fund is subject
to certain investment restrictions which may not be changed without the approval
of a majority of the shareholders of the Fund. See the accompanying prospectuses
for each of the Funds.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
OF CERTIFICATE BENEFITS
AND PROVISIONS
GENERAL
This Prospectus describes a flexible premium group variable life insurance
policy where the Owner has considerable flexibility in selecting the timing and
amount of premium payments.
ISSUANCE OF A CERTIFICATE
Certificates will only be offered to eligible employees when provided by the
Participating Employer. Individuals wishing to purchase a Certificate must
complete an Enrollment Form In Writing, which must be received by Our Customer
Service Center before a Certificate will be issued. A Certificate will not be
issued with a specified Face Amount of less than the minimum Face Amount.
Acceptance is subject to Hartford's underwriting rules then in effect. Hartford
reserves the right to reject an Enrollment Form for any reason permitted by law.
There are two circumstances under which a Certificate may be issued with a
backdated Coverage Date. The first involves Group Policy rollovers from Section
1035 exchanges under the Code. Backdating will occur in order to prevent a gap
in coverage under the Certificate. Charges and deductions (other than those of
the Portfolios) will be made for the period the Coverage Date is backdated;
however, the Owner will not experience investment return during that time.
Backdating will also occur when an application accompanied by the Initial
Premium is received by Us but issuance of a Certificate is subject to Our
insurance underwriting requirements. The initial Net Premium will be allocated
to the Hartford Money Market Investment Division during the underwriting period.
See "Premiums -- Allocation of Premium Payments" below. If the Insured meets Our
underwriting requirements, a Certificate will be issued with a backdated
Coverage Date. Charges and deductions (other than those of the Portfolios) will
be made for the backdated period. If the Insured does not meet Our underwriting
requirements, no Certificate will be issued and no coverage will have been in
effect. A conditional receipt will be given to the applicant reflecting receipt
of the Initial Premium and outlining any interim coverage in effect until the
Certificate is either issued or declined.
Backdating may only be permitted in certain states.
PREMIUMS
PREMIUM PAYMENT FLEXIBILITY -- A significant feature of the Certificate is
that once the desired level and pattern of the Death Benefit have been
determined, the Owner has considerable flexibility in the selection of the
timing and amount of premiums to be paid and can choose the level of premiums,
within a range determined by Hartford, based on the Face Amount of the
Certificate, the Insured's sex (except where unisex rates apply), Issue Age, and
the Insured's risk classification.
A minimum Initial Premium, as set forth in the Certificate, is due on the
Coverage Date. Unless determined otherwise by Hartford, the amount of the
minimum Initial Premium is the amount which, after the deductions for sales
load, state premium tax, and DAC tax charge, is sufficient (disregarding
investment performance) to pay twelve (12) times the first Monthly Deduction
Amount. Thereafter, additional premiums may be paid at any time, subject to the
premium limitations set forth by the Code as indicated in the section entitled
"Premium Limitation," page 15. You have the right to pay additional premiums of
at least $500.00 at any time.
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUM PAYMENTS -- If the state of issue of Your Certificate
requires that We return Your Initial Premium, We will allocate the initial Net
Premium when Your Certificate is issued to the Hartford Money Market
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 15
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Division until the expiration of the right to examine period. Upon
the expiration of the right to examine period, the initial Net Premium will, at
a later date, be invested according to Your initial allocation instructions
(except that any accrued interest will remain in the Hartford Money Market
Investment Division if it is selected as an initial allocation option). This
later date is the later of ten (10) calendar days after We receive the Initial
Premium and the date We receive the final requirement to put the Certificate in
force. The Certificates are credited with units ("Accumulation Units") in each
selected Investment Division, the assets of which are invested in the
corresponding underlying Portfolio. An Owner may transfer funds among the
Investment Divisions subject to certain restrictions. See "Detailed Description
of Certificate Benefits and Provisions -- Transfers Among Investment Divisions,"
page 16. Any additional premiums received by Us prior to such date will be
allocated to the Hartford Money Market Investment Division.
Alternatively, if the state of issue of Your Certificate provides for Our
return of the Certificate's Cash Value to the Owner, We will allocate the
initial Net Premium immediately among Your chosen Investment Divisions. IN THAT
CASE YOU WILL BEAR FULL INVESTMENT RISK FOR ANY AMOUNTS ALLOCATED TO THE
INVESTMENT DIVISIONS DURING THE RIGHT TO EXAMINE PERIOD. (Please note that this
automatic immediate investment feature only applies if Your Certificate so
specifies. Please check with Your agent to determine the status of Your
Certificate.)
Upon written request, You may change the Net Premium allocation. Portions
alltocated to the Investment Divisions must be whole percentages of 5% or more.
Subsequent Net Premiums will be allocated among Investment Divisions according
to Your most recent instructions, subject to the following. If We receive a
premium and Your most recent allocation instructions would violate the 5%
requirement, We will allocate the Net Premium among the Investment Divisions
according to Your previous premium allocation. If the asset rebalancing option
is in effect, Net Premiums will be allocated accordingly until that option is
terminated. See "Transfers Among Investment Divisions -- Asset Rebalancing,"
page 17.
The Owner will receive several different types of notification as to what
his or her current premium allocation is. The initial allocation chosen by the
Owner on the Enrollment Form is shown in the Certificate. In addition, every
transactional confirmation generated after a premium payment is received will
show how that premium has been allocated. A Certificate's annual statement will
also summarize the current premium allocation in effect for that Certificate.
ACCUMULATION UNITS -- Net Premiums allocated to the Investment Divisions are
used to credit Accumulation Units under the Certificate.
The number of Accumulation Units in each Investment Division to be credited
under the Certificate (including the initial allocation to the Hartford Money
Market Investment Division) will be determined first by multiplying the Net
Premium by the appropriate allocation percentage to determine the portion to be
invested in the Investment Division. Each portion to be invested in an
Investment Division is then divided by the Accumulation Unit Value of that
particular Investment Division next computed following receipt of the payment.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUES -- The Accumulation Unit value for each Investment
Division will vary daily to reflect the investment experience of the applicable
Portfolio, as well as the daily deduction for mortality and expense risks, and
will be determined on each Valuation Day by multiplying the Accumulation Unit
value of the particular Investment Division on the preceding Valuation Day by a
net investment factor for that Investment Division for the Valuation Period then
ended. The net investment factor for each of the Investment Divisions is equal
to the net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio at the end of
the Valuation Period (plus the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain
distributions paid by that Portfolio 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, less the daily deduction for the mortality and expense
risks assumed by Hartford.
All valuations in connection with a Certificate, e.g., with respect to
determining Cash Value and Investment Value, or calculating the Death Benefit,
or with respect to determining the number of Accumulation Units to be credited
to a Certificate with each premium payment, other than the Initial Premium, will
be made on the date the request or payment is received by Hartford at the
Customer Service Center if such date is a Valuation Day; otherwise such
determination will be made on the next succeeding date which is a Valuation Day.
PREMIUM LIMITATION -- If premiums are received which would cause the
Certificate to fail to meet the definition of a life insurance policy in
accordance with the Code, We will refund the excess premium payments. We will
refund such premium payments and interest thereon within sixty (60) days after
the end of a Coverage Year.
A premium payment that results in an increase in the Death Benefit greater
than the amount of the premium will be accepted only after We approve evidence
of insurability.
VALUES UNDER THE CERTIFICATE
As with traditional life insurance, each Certificate will have a Cash
Surrender Value. The Cash Surrender Value is equal to the Cash Value, less Debt,
less any charges accrued but not deducted. There is no minimum guaranteed Cash
<PAGE>
16 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Surrender Value. The Cash Value equals the value in the Investment Divisions
plus the Loan Account Value.
Each Certificate will also have an Investment Value. The Investment Value of
a Certificate changes on a daily basis and will be computed on each Valuation
Day. The Investment Value will vary to reflect the investment experience of the
Investment Divisions, Monthly Deduction Amounts and any amounts transferred to
the Loan Account to secure a Loan.
The Investment Value of a particular Certificate is related to the net asset
value of the Portfolios associated with the Investment Divisions to which Net
Premiums on the Certificate have been allocated. The total Investment Value in
the Investment Divisions on any Valuation Day is calculated by multiplying the
number of Accumulation Units in each Investment Division as of the Valuation Day
by the current Accumulation Unit value of that Investment Division and then
summing the result for all the Investment Divisions. The Investment Value equals
the sum of the values of the assets in the Investment Divisions. See "Premiums
- -- Accumulation Unit Values," page 15.
SURRENDER OF THE CERTIFICATE
At any time prior to the Maturity Date, provided the Certificate is in
effect and has a Cash Surrender Value, the Owner may choose, without the consent
of the Beneficiary (provided the designation of the Beneficiary is not
irrevocable) to surrender the Certificate and receive the full Cash Surrender
Value from Us. To surrender a Certificate, You must submit a request for
surrender In Writing. We will determine the Cash Surrender Value as of the
Valuation Day We receive the request In Writing at Our Customer Service Center,
or the date requested by the Owner, whichever is later.
The Cash Surrender Value, which is the net amount available upon surrender
of the Certificate, equals the Cash Value, less Debt, less any charges accrued
but not yet deducted. The Certificate will terminate on the date of receipt of
the written request, or the date the Owner requests the surrender to be
effective, whichever is later.
The Cash Surrender Value may be paid in cash or allocated to any other
payment option agreed upon by Us.
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS -- At any time before the Maturity Date, and subject to
Hartford's rules then in effect, up to twelve (12) partial withdrawals are
allowed per Coverage Year; however, only one (1) partial withdrawal is allowed
between any successive Processing Dates. The minimum partial withdrawal allowed
is $500.00. The maximum partial withdrawal is an amount equal to the sum of the
Cash Surrender Value plus outstanding Debt, multiplied by .90, less outstanding
Debt. Hartford currently imposes a charge for processing partial withdrawals
which is the lesser of 2% of the amount withdrawn or $25.00. A partial
withdrawal will reduce the Cash Surrender Value, Cash Value and Investment
Value. Any partial withdrawal will have a permanent effect on the Cash Surrender
Value and may have a permanent effect on the Death Benefit payable. If Death
Benefit Option A is in effect, the Face Amount is reduced by the amount of the
partial withdrawal. Unless specified otherwise, partial withdrawals will be
deducted on a Pro Rata Basis from the Investment Divisions. Requests for partial
withdrawals must be made In Writing to Us. The effective date of a partial
withdrawal will be the Valuation Day We receive the request In Writing at Our
Customer Service Center. A 10% penalty tax may be imposed on income distributed
before the insured attains age 59 1/2. See "Federal Tax Considerations --
Modified Endowment Contracts," page 30.
TRANSFERS AMONG INVESTMENT DIVISIONS
AMOUNT AND FREQUENCY OF TRANSFERS -- Upon request and as long as the
Certificate is in effect, You may transfer amounts among the Investment
Divisions, without charge, up to twelve (12) times per Coverage Year. Transfers
in excess of twelve (12) per Coverage Year will be subject to a charge of $50
per transfer deducted from the amount of the transfer. Transfer requests must be
In Writing on a form approved by Hartford or by telephone in accordance with
established procedures. The amounts which may be transferred will be limited by
Our rules then in effect. Currently, the minimum value of Accumulation Units
that may be transferred from one Investment Division to another is the lesser of
(i) $500 or (ii) the total value of the Accumulation Units in the Investment
Division. The value of the remaining Accumulation Units in the Investment
Division must equal at least $500. If, after an ordered transfer, the value of
the remaining Accumulation Units in an Investment Division would be less than
$500, the entire value will be transferred.
Currently there are no restrictions on transfers other than those described
herein. Hartford reserves the right in the future to impose additional
restrictions on transfers.
TRANSFERS TO OR FROM INVESTMENT DIVISIONS -- In the event of a transfer from
an Investment Division, the number of Accumulation Units credited to the
Investment Division from which the transfer is made will be reduced. The
reduction will be determined by dividing:
1. the amount transferred by,
2. the Accumulation Unit value for that Investment Division on the Valuation
Day We receive Your request for transfer In Writing.
In the event of a transfer to an Investment Division, We will increase the
number of Accumulation Units credited thereto. The increase will equal:
1. the amount transferred divided by,
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 17
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. the Accumulation Unit value for that Investment Division determined on the
Valuation Day We receive Your request for transfer In Writing.
ASSET REBALANCING -- Subject to Our rules then in effect, an Owner may
authorize Hartford to automatically reallocate Investment Value periodically in
order to maintain a particular percentage allocation among the Investment
Divisions as selected by the Owner ("Asset Rebalancing"). The Investment Value
held in each Investment Division will increase or decrease in value at different
rates during the relevant period. Asset Rebalancing is intended to reallocate
Investment Value from those Investment Divisions that have increased in value to
those that have decreased in value.
To elect Asset Rebalancing, a request In Writing must be received by
Hartford. If Asset Rebalancing is elected, all Investment Value must be included
in the automatic reallocation. The percentages selected under Asset Rebalancing
will override any prior percentage allocations chosen by the Owner and all
future Net Premiums will be allocated accordingly. Once elected, an Owner may
instruct Hartford In Writing at any time to terminate the option. In addition,
any transfer made outside of Asset Rebalancing will terminate the option.
PROCEDURES FOR TELEPHONE TRANSFERS -- Owners may effect telephone transfers
in two ways. All Owners may directly contact a customer service representative.
Owners may in the future also request access to an electronic service known as a
Voice Response Unit (VRU). The VRU will permit the transfer of monies among the
Investment Divisions and change of the allocation of future payments. All Owners
intending to conduct telephone transfers through the VRU will be asked to
complete a Telephone Authorization Form.
Hartford will undertake reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated by telephone are genuine. Before a customer service representative
accepts any request, the caller will be asked for his or her social security
number and address. All calls will also be recorded. A Personal Identification
Number (PIN) will be assigned to all Owners who request VRU access. The PIN is
selected by and known only to the Owner. Proper entry of the PIN is required
before any transactions will be allowed through the VRU. Furthermore, all
transactions performed over the VRU, as well as with a customer service
representative, will be confirmed by Hartford through a written letter.
Moreover, all VRU transactions will be assigned a unique confirmation number
which will become part of the Certificate's history. Hartford is not liable for
any loss, cost or expense for action on telephone instructions which are
believed to be genuine in accordance with these procedures.
VALUATION OF PAYMENTS AND TRANSFERS
We value the Certificate on every Valuation Day.
We will generally pay Death Proceeds, Cash Surrender Values, partial
withdrawals, and Loan amounts attributable to the Investment Divisions within
seven (7) calendar days after We receive all the information needed to process
the payment unless the NYSE is closed for other than a regular holiday or
weekend, trading is restricted by the SEC or the SEC declares that an emergency
exists.
Hartford may defer payment of any amounts not attributable to the Investment
Divisions for up to six months from the date on which We receive the request.
PROCESSING OF TRANSACTIONS -- Generally, transactions initiated by an Owner
will be processed only on a Valuation Day. Requests received by Hartford on a
Valuation Day before the close of trading on the NYSE (generally 4:00 p.m.
Eastern Time) will be processed as of that day, except as otherwise indicated in
this Prospectus. Those requests received after the close of the NYSE will be
processed as of the next Valuation Day.
LOANS
As long as the Certificate is in effect, an Owner may obtain, without the
consent of the Beneficiary (provided the designation of Beneficiary is not
irrevocable), a cash Loan from Hartford. The maximum Loan amount is equal to the
sum of the Cash Surrender Value plus outstanding Debt, multiplied by .90, less
outstanding Debt.
The amount of each Loan will be transferred on a Pro-Rata Basis from each of
the Investment Divisions (unless the Owner specifies otherwise) to the Loan
Account. The Loan Account is the mechanism used to ensure that any outstanding
Debt remains fully secured by the Investment Value.
LOAN INTEREST -- Interest will accrue daily on outstanding Debt at the
Adjustable Loan Interest Rate indicated in the Certificate. The difference
between the value of the Loan Account and any outstanding Debt will be
transferred from the Investment Divisions to the Loan Account on each
Certificate Anniversary. Interest payments are due as shown in the Certificate.
If interest is not paid within 5 days of its due date, it will be added to the
amount of the Loan as of its due date.
The maximum Adjustable Loan Interest Rate We may charge for Loans is the
greater of 5% and the Published Monthly Average for the calendar month two
months prior to the date on which the Adjustable Loan Interest Rate is
determined. The Published Monthly Average means the "Moody's Corporate Bond
Yield Average -- Monthly Average Corporate" as published by Moody's Investors
Service, Inc. or any successor to that service. If that monthly average is no
longer published, a substitute average will be used.
<PAGE>
18 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CREDITED INTEREST -- Amounts in the Loan Account for Coverage Years 1
through 10 will be credited with interest at a rate equal to the Adjustable Loan
Interest Rate then in effect, minus 1%. Amounts in the Loan Account for Coverage
Years 11 and later will be credited with interest at a rate equal to the
Adjustable Loan Interest Rate then in effect, minus .20%.
LOAN REPAYMENTS -- You can repay any part of or the entire Loan at any time.
The amount of the Loan repayment will be allocated to Your chosen Investment
Divisions on a Pro Rata Basis, determined as of the date of the Loan repayment.
Unless specified otherwise, additional premium payments received by Hartford
during the period when a Loan is outstanding will be treated as Loan repayments.
TERMINATION DUE TO EXCESSIVE DEBT -- If total Debt outstanding equals or
exceeds the Cash Surrender Value, the Certificate will terminate thirty-one (31)
calendar days after We have mailed notice to Your last known address and that of
any assignees of record. If sufficient Loan repayment is not made by the end of
this 31-day period, the Certificate will terminate without value.
EFFECT OF LOANS ON INVESTMENT VALUE -- A Loan, whether or not repaid, will
have a permanent effect on the Investment Value because the investment results
of each Investment Division will apply only to the amount remaining in such
Investment Divisions. The longer a Loan is outstanding, the greater the effect
is likely to be. The effect could be favorable or unfavorable. If the Investment
Divisions earn more than the annual interest rate for funds held in the Loan
Account, an Owner's Investment Value will not increase as rapidly as it would
have had no Loan been made. If the Investment Divisions earn less than the Loan
Account, the Owner's Investment Value will be greater than it would have been
had no Loan been made. Also, if not repaid, the aggregate amount of outstanding
Debt will reduce the Death Proceeds and Cash Surrender Value otherwise payable.
DEATH BENEFIT
As long as the Certificate remains in force, the Certificate provides for
the payment of the Death Proceeds to the named Beneficiary when the Insured
under the Certificate dies. The Death Proceeds payable to the Beneficiary equal
the Death Benefit less any Debt outstanding under the Certificate plus any rider
benefits payable. The Death Benefit depends on the Death Benefit option You
select and is determined as of the date of the death of the Insured.
MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT TESTING PROCEDURES -- Section 7702 of the Code defines
alternative testing procedures, the guideline premium test ("GPT") and the cash
value accumulation test ("CVAT") in order to meet the definition of life
insurance under the Code. See "Federal Tax Considerations -- Income Taxation of
Certificate Benefits," page 29. Each Certificate must qualify under either the
GPT or the CVAT. Prior to issue, the Owner chooses the procedure under which a
Certificate will qualify. Once either the GPT or the CVAT is chosen to test a
Certificate, it cannot be changed while the Certificate is in force.
Under both testing procedures, there is a minimum Death Benefit required at
all times equal to the Variable Insurance Amount. The factors used to determine
the Variable Insurance Amount depend on the testing procedure chosen and are set
forth in the Certificate.
Under the GPT, there is also a maximum amount of premium which may be paid
with respect to each Certificate.
Use of the CVAT can be advantageous if an Owner intends to maximize the
total amount of premiums paid under a Certificate. An offsetting consideration,
however, is that the factors used to determine the Variable Insurance Amount are
higher under the CVAT, which can result in a higher Death Benefit over time and
thus, a higher total cost of insurance.
DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS -- Regardless of the minimum death benefit testing
procedure chosen, there are two Death Benefit options: Death Benefit Option A
and Death Benefit Option B.
1. Under Death Benefit Option A, the Death Benefit is the greater of (a) the
Face Amount and (b) the Variable Insurance Amount.
2. Under Death Benefit Option B, the Death Benefit is the greater of (a) the
Face Amount plus the Cash Value and (b) the Variable Insurance Amount.
Regardless of which Death Benefit option You select, the maximum amount
payable under such option will be the Death Proceeds.
OPTION CHANGE -- While the Certificate is in force, You may change the Death
Benefit option selected under a Certificate by making a request In Writing
during the lifetime of the Insured. If the change is from Death Benefit Option A
to Death Benefit Option B, satisfactory evidence of insurability must be
provided to Hartford. The Face Amount after the change will be equal to the Face
Amount before the change, less the Cash Value on the effective date of the
change. If the change is from Death Benefit Option B to Death Benefit Option A,
the Face Amount after the change will be equal to the Face Amount before the
change plus the Cash Value on the effective date of change. Any change in the
selection of a Death Benefit option will become effective at the beginning of
the Coverage month following Hartford's approval of such change. We will notify
You that the change has been made.
All or part of the Death Proceeds may be paid in cash or applied under one
of the payment options described below.
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 19
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PAYMENT OPTIONS -- Death Proceeds under the Certificate may be paid in a
lump sum or may be applied to one of Hartford's payment options. The minimum
amount that may be placed under a payment option is $5,000 unless Hartford
consents to a lesser amount. Once payments under payment options 2, 3 or 4
commence, no surrender of the Certificate may be made for the purpose of
receiving a lump sum settlement in lieu of the life insurance payments. The
following options are available under the Certificates:
FIRST OPTION -- Interest Income
Payments of interest at the rate We declare, but not less than 3% per year,
on the amount applied under this option.
SECOND OPTION -- Income of Fixed Amount
Equal payments of the amount chosen until the amount applied under this
option, with interest of not less than 3% per year, is exhausted. The final
payment will be for the balance remaining.
THIRD OPTION -- Payments for a Fixed Period
An amount payable monthly for the number of years selected which may be from
1 to 30 years.
FOURTH OPTION -- Life Income
LIFE ANNUITY -- an annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of the
Annuitant and terminating with the last monthly payment due preceding the
death of the Annuitant. Under this option, it is possible that only one
monthly annuity payment would be made, if the Annuitant died before the
second monthly annuity payment was due.
LIFE ANNUITY WITH 120 MONTHLY PAYMENTS CERTAIN -- an annuity providing
monthly income to the Annuitant for a fixed period of 120 months and for
as long thereafter as the Annuitant shall live.
The fourth payment option is based on the 1983a Individual Annuity Mortality
Table set back one year and a net investment rate of 3% per annum. The amount of
each payment under this option will depend upon the age of the Annuitant at the
time the first payment is due. If any periodic payment due any payee is less
than $200, Hartford may make payments less often. The first, second and third
payment options are based on a net investment rate of 3% per annum. Hartford
may, however, from time to time, at Our discretion if mortality appears more
favorable and interest rates justify, apply other tables which will result in
higher monthly payments for each $1,000 applied under one or more of the four
payment options.
Hartford will make any other arrangements for income payments as may be
agreed on.
LEGAL DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING INCOME PAYMENTS -- In those states affected by
the 1983 Supreme Court decision in Arizona Governing Committee v. Norris, income
payment options involving life income are based on unisex actuarial tables. In
addition, legislation has previously been introduced in Congress which, had it
been enacted, would have required the use of tables that do not vary on the
basis of sex for some or all annuities. Currently, several states have enacted
such laws.
BENEFICIARY -- The Owner names the Beneficiary in the Enrollment Form for
the Certificate. The 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 Owner if
living; otherwise to the Owner's estate.
INCREASES AND DECREASES IN FACE AMOUNT -- The minimum Face Amount of the
Certificate is $50,000. At any time after purchasing a Certificate, the Owner
may request a change in the Face Amount by making a request In Writing to
Hartford and directing such request to Hartford's Customer Service Center.
All requests to increase the Face Amount must be applied for on a new
Enrollment Form. All requests will be subject to evidence of insurability
satisfactory to Hartford and subject to Our rules then in effect. Any increase
approved by Us will be effective on the Processing Date following the date We
approve the request. The Monthly Deduction Amount on the first Processing Date
on or after the effective date of the increase will reflect a charge for the
increase. A decrease in the Face Amount will be effective on the first
Processing Date following the date We receive the request. Decreases must reduce
the Face Amount by at least $25,000, and the remaining Face Amount must not be
less than $50,000. Decreases will be applied:
(a) to the most recent increase; then
(b) successively to each prior increase, and then
(c) to the initial Face Amount.
We reserve the right to limit the number of Face Amount increases or
decreases made under the Certificate to no more than one in any twelve (12)
month period.
BENEFITS AT MATURITY
If the Insured is living on the Maturity Date, on surrender of the
Certificate to Hartford, Hartford will pay to the Owner the Cash Surrender Value
on the date the Certificate is surrendered. However, on the Maturity Date, the
Certificate will terminate and Hartford will have no further obligations under
the Certificate.
<PAGE>
20 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TERMINATION OF PARTICIPATION
IN THE GROUP POLICY
Participation in the Group Policy may be terminated by Hartford or the
Participating Employer. The party initiating the termination must provide notice
of such termination to each Owner of record, at his or her last known address,
at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date of termination. In the event of
such termination, no new Enrollment Forms for new Insureds will be accepted on
or after the date notice of discontinuance is received or sent by Hartford,
whichever is applicable, nor will any new Certificates be issued. If premium
payments are discontinued, Hartford will continue insurance coverage under the
Certificate as long as the Cash Surrender Value is sufficient to cover the
charges due. This continuation of insurance will not continue the coverage under
the Certificate beyond Attained Age 100, nor will it continue any optional
benefit rider beyond the Certificate's date of termination. If the Group Policy
is discontinued or amended to discontinue the eligible class to which an Insured
belongs (and if the coverage on the Insured is not transferred to another
insurance carrier), any Certificate then in effect will remain in force under
the discontinued Group Policy, provided it is not canceled or surrendered by the
Owner, subject to Hartford's qualifications then in effect. Certificate premiums
will then be payable by the Owner Directly to Us.
LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT WHILE
THE GROUP POLICY IS IN EFFECT
LAPSE AND GRACE PERIOD -- A Grace Period will follow the date We mail notice
to the Owner that the Cash Surrender Value is insufficient to pay the charges
due under the Certificate. Unless the Owner has given Hartford written notice of
termination in advance of the date of termination of the Certificate, insurance
will continue in force during the Grace Period. The Owner will be liable to
Hartford for all charges due under the Certificate then unpaid for the period
the Certificate remains in force.
In the event that total Debt outstanding equals or exceeds the Cash
Surrender Value, the Certificate will terminate thirty-one (31) calendar days
after We have mailed notice to Your last known address and that of any assignees
of record. If sufficient Loan repayment is not made by the end of this 31-day
period, the Certificate will terminate without value.
REINSTATEMENT -- Prior to the death of the Insured, and unless (i) the Group
Policy is terminated (see "Termination of Participation in the Group Policy"
above) or (ii) the Certificate has been surrendered for cash, the Certificate
may be reinstated prior to the Maturity Date, provided:
(a) you make Your request within three (3) years of the date of lapse; and
(b) satisfactory evidence of insurability is submitted.
We will not require evidence of insurability, however, if You reinstate Your
Certificate within one month after the end of the Grace Period, provided that
the Insured is alive.
To reinstate Your Certificate, you must remit a premium payment large enough
to keep the coverage under the Certificate in force for at least three (3)
months following the date of reinstatement. The Face Amount of the reinstated
Certificate cannot exceed the Face Amount at the time of lapse. The Investment
Value on the reinstatement date will reflect:
(a) The Investment Value at the time of termination; plus
(b) Net Premiums attributable to premiums paid at the time of reinstatement.
Upon reinstatement, any Debt at the time of termination must be repaid or
carried over to the reinstated Certificate.
ENROLLMENT FOR A CERTIFICATE
Individuals wishing to purchase a Certificate must submit an Enrollment Form
to Hartford. Within limits, an applicant may choose the Initial Premium and the
initial Face Amount. A Certificate generally will be issued only on the lives of
Insureds Attained Age 79 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 Enrollment Form for any reason. No
change in the terms or conditions of a Certificate will be made without the
consent of the Owner.
The Certificate will be effective on the Coverage Date only after Hartford
has received all outstanding delivery requirements and received the Initial
Premium. The Coverage Date is the date used to determine all future cyclical
transactions on the Certificate, e.g., Processing Date, Coverage Months and
Coverage Years.
THE RIGHT TO EXAMINE THE CERTIFICATE
An Owner has a limited right to return a Certificate. Subject to applicable
state regulation, if the Certificate is returned, by mail or personal delivery
to Hartford or to the agent who sold the Certificate, to be canceled within ten
(10) calendar days after delivery of the Certificate to the Owner, Hartford will
return either (i) the total amount of premiums or (ii) the Cash Value plus
charges deducted under the Certificate to the Owner within seven (7) days. If
the state where Your Certificate is issued requires that We return Your Initial
Premium, We will allocate Your initial Net Premium to the Hartford Money Market
Investment Division. If the state of issue of Your Certificate provides for Our
return of the Certificate's Cash Value to the Owner, We
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 21
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
will allocate the initial Net Premium immediately among Your chosen Investment
Divisions.
DEDUCTIONS FROM PREMIUM
Before allocating the Net Premium to the Investment Divisions, a deduction
as a percentage of premium is made for the front-end sales load, premium taxes
and the DAC tax charge. The amount of each premium allocated to the Investment
Divisions is Your Net Premium.
FRONT-END SALES LOAD -- The current front-end sales load is 6.75% of any
premium paid for Coverage Years 1 through 7 and 4.75% of any premium paid in
Coverage Years 8 and later. The maximum front-end sales load is 9% of any
premium paid in Coverage Years 1 through 7 and 7% of any premium paid in
Coverage Years 8 and later.
Front-end sales loads cover expenses related to the sale and distribution of
the Certificates. The front-end sales load may be reduced for certain sales of
the Certificates under circumstances which result in a saving of such sales and
distribution expenses. To qualify for such a reduction, a plan must satisfy
certain criteria as to, for example, the expected number of Owners and the
anticipated Face Amount of all Certificates under the plan. Generally, the sales
contacts and effort and administrative costs per Certificate vary based on such
factors as the size of the plan, the purpose for which Certificates are
purchased and certain characteristics of the plan's members. The amount of
reduction and the criteria for qualification are related to the reduced sales
effort and administrative costs resulting from sales to qualifying plans.
Hartford may modify from time to time on a uniform basis both the amounts of
reductions and the criteria for qualification. Reductions in these charges will
not be unfairly discriminatory against any person, including the affected Owners
funded by the Separate Account.
PREMIUM RELATED TAX CHARGE -- We deduct a percentage of each premium to
cover state and local taxes assessed against Hartford that are attributable to
premiums. This percentage will vary by locale depending on the tax rates in
effect there. The range of premium taxes actually deducted by Hartford currently
ranges from 0% to 4%.
DAC TAX CHARGE -- Hartford deducts 1.25% of each premium to cover a federal
premium tax assessed against Hartford. This charge is reasonable in relation to
Hartford's federal income tax burden, under Section 848 of the Code, resulting
from the receipt of premiums. We will adjust this charge based on changes in the
applicable tax law.
DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES
FROM INVESTMENT VALUE
MONTHLY DEDUCTION AMOUNT -- On the Coverage Date and on each subsequent
Processing Date, Hartford will deduct the Monthly Deduction Amount from the
Investment Value to cover certain charges and expenses incurred in connection
with a Certificate. The Monthly Deduction Amount will vary from month to month.
It will be taken from the Charge Deduction Division, if designated in the
Enrollment Form for the Certificate or later elected.
If a Charge Deduction Division has been designated but the Investment Value
in the Charge Deduction Division is less than that required to cover all charges
due on such date:
(1) Hartford will apply the Investment Value of the Charge Deduction Division to
the charges due and set the Investment Value in the Charge Deduction
Division to zero; and
(2) any additional amount due will be allocated among the remaining Investment
Divisions on a Pro Rata Basis.
If no Charge Deduction Division has been designated or elected, any amounts
due will be allocated among the Owner's chosen Investment Divisions on a Pro
Rata Basis.
The Monthly Deduction Amount equals:
(a) the administrative expense charge; plus
(b) the charges for cost of insurance; plus
(c) the charges for additional benefits provided by rider, if any.
(A) Monthly Administrative Fee and Other Expense Charges
Hartford will assess a monthly administrative charge to compensate
Hartford for administrative costs in connection with the Certificates. This
charge will be $5 per Coverage Month initially and is guaranteed never to
exceed $10.00 per Coverage Month.
(B) Cost of Insurance Charge
The charge for the cost of insurance is equal to:
(i) the cost of insurance rate per $1,000; multiplied by
(ii) the Net Amount at Risk; divided by
(iii) $1,000.
The Net Amount at Risk equals the Death Benefit less the Cash Value on
that date.
The cost of insurance charge is to cover Hartford's anticipated mortality
costs. Hartford uses various underwriting procedures, including medical
underwriting procedures, depending on the characteristics of the group to
which the Group Policies are issued. The current cost of insurance rates for
standard risks may be equal to or less than the 1980 Commissioners Standard
Ordinary Mortality Table. Substandard risks will be charged a higher cost of
insurance rate that will not
<PAGE>
22 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
exceed rates based on a multiple of the 1980 Commissioners Standard
Ordinary Mortality Table. The multiple will be based on the Insured's risk
class. The use of simplified underwriting and guaranteed issue procedures
may result in the cost of insurance charges being higher for some
individuals than if medical underwriting procedures were used.
Cost of insurance rates are based on the age, sex (except where unisex
rates apply), and rate class of the Insured and group mortality
characteristics and the particular characteristics (such as the rate class
structure) under the Group Policy that are agreed to by Hartford and the
Participating Employer. The actual monthly cost of insurance rates will be
based on Hartford's expectations as to future experience. Hartford will
determine the cost of insurance rate at the start of each Coverage Year. Any
changes in the cost of insurance rate will be made uniformly for all
Insureds in the same risk class.
The rate class of an Insured affects the cost of insurance rate. Hartford
and the Participating Employer will agree to the number of classes and
characteristics of each class. The classes may vary by smokers and
nonsmokers, active and retired status, and/or any other nondiscriminatory
classes agreed to by the Participating Employer. Where smoker and non-smoker
divisions are provided, an Insured who is in the nonsmoker division of a
rate class will have a lower cost of insurance than an Insured in the smoker
division of the same rate class, even if each Insured has an identical
Certificate.
Because the Cash Value and the Death Benefit Amount under a Certificate
may vary from month to month, the cost of insurance charge may also vary on
each Processing Date.
(C) Rider Charge
If the Certificate includes riders, a charge is deducted from the
Investment Value on each Processing Date. The applicable charge is specified
on the rider and is to compensate Hartford for the anticipated cost of
providing the benefits thereunder.
The riders available under the Certificate are described on page 24 under
"Supplemental Benefits."
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
A charge is made for mortality and expense risks assumed by Hartford.
Hartford currently deducts a daily charge for Coverage Years 1 through 10 at an
effective annual rate of .65% of the value of each Investment Division's assets
and for Coverage Years 11 and later at an effective annual rate of .50% of an
Investment Division's assets. In no event will the charge exceed .65% of an
Investment Division's assets on an annual basis. See also "Premiums --
Accumulation Unit Values," page 15.
The mortality and expense risk charge is equal to:
(i) the mortality and expense risk rate; multiplied by
(ii) the portion of the Cash Value allocated to the Investment Divisions and
the Loan Account.
The mortality risk assumed is that the actual cost of insurance charges
specified in the Certificate will be insufficient to meet actual claims. The
expense risk assumed is that expenses incurred in issuing and administering the
Certificates will exceed the administrative charges set forth therein.
If these charges are insufficient to cover actual costs and assumed risks,
the loss will fall on Hartford. Conversely, if the charge proves more than
sufficient, any excess will be added to Hartford's surplus.
TAXES
Currently, no charge is made to the Separate Account for federal, state, and
local taxes that may be attributable to the Separate Account. A change in the
applicable federal, state or local tax laws which impose tax on Hartford and/or
the Separate Account may result in a charge against the Certificates in the
future. Charges for other taxes, if any, attributable to the Separate Account
may also be made.
OTHER MATTERS
ADDITIONS, DELETIONS OR
SUBSTITUTIONS OF INVESTMENTS
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 the Investment Divisions which fund the Group Policies. 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 Group
Policies, Hartford may substitute shares of another Portfolio for shares already
purchased, or to be purchased in the future, under the Group Policies. No
substitution of securities will take place without notice to and consent of
Owners and without prior approval of the SEC to the extent required by the 1940
Act. Subject to Owner approval, if required, Hartford also reserves the right to
end the registration under the 1940 Act of the Separate Account or any other
separate accounts of which it is the depositor which may fund the Group Policy.
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 23
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VOTING RIGHTS
In accordance with its view of presently applicable law, Hartford will vote
the shares of the Funds at regular and special meetings of the shareholders of
the Funds in accordance with instructions from Owners (or the assignee of the
Certificates, 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 Owner is determined by dividing the Owner's interest in
each Investment Division by the net asset value of the applicable shares of the
Funds. Hartford will vote shares for which no instructions have been given and
shares which are not attributable to Owners (i.e., shares owned by Hartford) in
the same proportion as it votes shares for which it has received instructions.
If the 1940 Act or any rule promulgated thereunder should be amended, however,
or if Hartford's present interpretation should change and, as a result, Hartford
determines it is permitted to vote the shares of the Funds in its own right, it
may elect to do so.
The voting interests of the Owners (or the assignees) in the Funds will be
determined as follows: Owners may cast one vote for each full or fractional
Accumulation Unit owned under their respective Certificates and allocated to an
Investment Division the assets of which are invested in the particular Fund on
the record date for the shareholder meeting for that Fund. If, however, an Owner
has taken a Loan secured by the Certificate, amounts transferred from the
Investment Division(s) to the Loan Account(s) in connection with the Loan (see
"Detailed Description of Certificate Benefits and Provisions -- Loans," page 17)
will not be considered in determining the voting interests of the Owner. Owners
should review the prospectuses for the Funds which accompany 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 Funds or to approve or disapprove an investment advisory
policy for the Funds. In addition, Hartford itself may disregard voting
instructions in favor of changes initiated by an Owner in the investment policy
or the investment adviser of the Funds if Hartford reasonably disapproves of
such changes. A change would be disapproved only if the proposed change is
contrary to state law or prohibited by state regulatory authorities. In the
event 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
Owners.
OUR RIGHTS
We reserve the right to take certain actions in connection with Our
operations and the operations of the Separate Account. These actions will be
taken in accordance with applicable laws (including obtaining any required
approval of the SEC). If necessary, We will seek approval by Owners.
Specifically, We reserve the right to:
- - Add or remove any Investment Division;
- - Create new separate accounts;
- - Combine the Separate Account with one or more other separate accounts;
- - Operate the Separate Account as a management investment company under the 1940
Act or in any other form permitted by law;
- - Deregister the Separate Account under the 1940 Act;
- - Manage the Separate Account under the direction of a committee or discharge
such committee at any time;
- - Transfer the assets of the Separate Account to one or more other separate
accounts; and
- - Restrict or eliminate any of the voting rights of Owners or other persons who
have voting rights as to the Separate Account.
Hartford also reserves the right to change the name of the Separate Account.
We have reserved all rights to the name of Hartford Life Insurance Company
or any part of it. We may allow the Separate Account and other entities to use
Our name or part of it, but We may also withdraw this right.
STATEMENTS TO OWNERS
We will send You a statement at least once each Coverage Year, showing:
(a) the current Cash Value, Cash Surrender Value and Face Amount;
(b) the premiums paid, Monthly Deduction Amounts and Loans since the last
report;
(c) the amount of any outstanding Debt;
(d) notifications required by the provisions of the Certificate; and
(e) any other information required by the Insurance Department of the State
where the Certificate was delivered.
LIMIT ON RIGHT TO CONTEST
Hartford may not contest the validity of the Certificate after it has been
in effect during the Insured's lifetime for two years from the Issue Date. If
the Certificate is reinstated, the two-year period is measured from the date of
reinstatement. Any increase in the Face Amount as a result of a
<PAGE>
24 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
premium payment 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 Death Benefit payable will be limited to the
premiums paid less any outstanding Debt and partial withdrawals.
MISSTATEMENT AS TO AGE OR SEX
If the age or sex of the Insured is incorrectly stated, the amount of all
benefits payable will be appropriately adjusted, as specified in the
Certificate.
ASSIGNMENT
The Certificate 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 Certificates.
EXPERIENCE CREDITS
The Certificates issued under a Group Policy may be eligible for experience
credits due to administrative savings. The amount of any experience credit may
be paid in cash or applied to and used to increase the Investment Value.
SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS
The following supplemental benefit may in the future be included in a
Certificate, subject to the restrictions and limitations set forth therein.
MATURITY DATE EXTENSION RIDER
We will extend the Maturity Date (the date on which the Certificate will
mature), to the date of death of the Insured. Certain Death Benefit and premium
restrictions apply. See "Federal Tax Considerations -- Income Taxation of
Certificate Benefits," page 29.

DISTRIBUTION OF
THE GROUP POLICY
Hartford intends to sell the Group Policy in all jurisdictions where it is
licensed to do business. The Group Policy will be sold by life insurance sales
representatives who represent Hartford and who are registered representatives of
Hartford Equity Sales Company, Inc. ("HESCO"), or certain other registered
broker-dealers. Any sales representative or employee will have been qualified to
sell variable life insurance policies under applicable federal and state laws.
Each broker-dealer is registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 and all are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. HESCO is the principal underwriter for the Group Policy. The maximum sales
commission payable to Hartford agents, independent registered insurance brokers,
and other registered broker-dealers is 6% of the premiums paid. In addition,
expense allowances, service fees and asset-based trail commissions may be paid.
The sales representative may be required to return all or a portion of the
commissions paid if a Certificate terminates prior to the second Certificate
Anniversary.
Broker-dealers or financial institutions are compensated according to a
schedule set forth by HESCO and any applicable rules or regulations for variable
insurance compensation. Compensation is generally based on premium payments made
by policyholders or contract owners. This compensation is usually paid from the
sales charges described in this Prospectus.
In addition, a broker-dealer or financial institution may also receive
additional compensation for, among other things, training, marketing or other
services provided.
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 29
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HESCO, its affiliates or Hartford may also make compensation arrangements with
certain broker-dealers or financial institutions based on total sales by the
broker-dealer or financial institution of insurance products. These payments,
which may be different for different broker-dealers or financial institutions,
will be made by HESCO, its affiliates or Hartford out of their own assets and
will not affect the amounts paid by the policyholders or contract owners to
purchase, hold or surrender variable insurance products.
SAFEKEEPING OF THE SEPARATE
ACCOUNT 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 Fund. 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 amount of $50 million, covering
all of the officers and employees of Hartford.

SINCE THE TAX LAW IS COMPLEX AND SINCE TAX CONSEQUENCES WILL VARY ACCORDING
TO THE ACTUAL STATUS OF THE OWNER INVOLVED AND THE TYPE OF PLAN UNDER WHICH THE
GROUP POLICY IS PURCHASED, LEGAL AND TAX ADVICE MAY BE NEEDED BY A PERSON,
TRUSTEE OR OTHER ENTITY CONTEMPLATING THE PURCHASE OF A GROUP POLICY DESCRIBED
HEREIN.
It should be understood that any detailed description of the Federal income
tax consequences regarding the purchase of the Group Policy 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 current
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 Part 1 of Subchapter L of Chapter 1 of the Internal
Revenue Code ("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
Investment Divisions) are reinvested and are taken into account in determining
the value of the Accumulation Units (see "Detailed Description of Certificate
Benefits and Provisions -- Values Under the Certificate," on page 15). As a
result, such investment income and realized capital gains are automatically
applied to increase reserves under the Certificate.
Hartford does not expect to incur any Federal income tax on the earnings or
realized capital gains attributable to the Separate Account. Based upon these
expectations, 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 taxes against the Separate Account.
INCOME TAXATION OF CERTIFICATE BENEFITS
For Federal income tax purposes, the Certificates should be treated as life
insurance policies under Section 7702 of the Code. The death benefit under a
life insurance policy is excluded from the gross income of the Beneficiary.
Also, a life insurance policy owner is not taxed on increments in the policy
value until the policy is partially or completely surrendered. Section 7702
limits the amount of premiums that may be invested in a policy that is treated
as life insurance. Hartford intends to monitor premium levels to assure
compliance with the Section 7702 standards.
During the first fifteen policy years, an "income first" rule generally
applies to any distribution of cash that is required under Code Section 7702
because of a reduction in benefits under the Certificate.
Hartford also believes that any Loan received under a Certificate will be
treated as Debt of the Owner, and that no part of any Loan under a Certificate
will constitute income to the Owner. A surrender or assignment of the
Certificate may have tax consequences depending upon the circumstances. Owners
should consult qualified tax advisers concerning the effect of such changes.
Federal, state, and local estate tax, inheritance, and other tax
consequences of ownership or receipt of Certificate proceeds depend on the
circumstances of each Owner or Beneficiary.
The Maturity Date Extension Rider allows an Owner to extend the Maturity
Date to the date of the death of the Insured. Although Hartford believes that
the Certificate will continue to be treated as a life insurance contract for
federal income tax purposes after the scheduled Maturity Date, due to the lack
of specific guidance on this issue, this
<PAGE>

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
result is not certain. If the Certificate is not treated as a life insurance
contract for federal income tax purposes after the Maturity Date, among other
things, the Death Proceeds may be taxable to the recipient. The Owner should
consult a competent tax adviser regarding the possible adverse tax consequences
resulting from an extension of the scheduled Maturity Date.
MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS
Code Section 7702A applies an additional test, the "seven-pay" test, to life
insurance contracts. A modified endowment contract is a life insurance policy
which satisfies the Section 7702 definition of life insurance but fails the
seven-pay test of Section 7702A. A policy fails the seven-pay test if the
accumulated amount paid into the Certificate at any time during the first seven
Coverage Years exceeds the sum of the net level premiums that would have been
paid up to that point if the Certificate provided for paid-up future benefits
after the payment of seven level annual premiums. Computational rules for the
seven-pay test are described in Section 7702A(c).
A policy that is classified as a modified endowment contract is eligible for
certain aspects of 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, withdrawals and loans from a modified
endowment policy are treated first as income, then as a recovery of basis.
Taxable withdrawals are subject to a 10% additional tax, with certain
exceptions. Generally, only distributions and loans made in the first year in
which a policy becomes a modified endowment policy, and in subsequent years, are
taxable. However, distributions and loans made in the two years prior to a
policy's failing the seven-pay test are deemed to be in anticipation of failure
and are subject to tax.
If the Certificate satisfies the seven-pay test for seven years,
distributions and loans made thereafter will not be subject to the modified
endowment policy rules, unless the Certificate is changed materially. The
seven-pay test will be applied anew at any time the Certificate undergoes a
material change, which includes an increase in the Face Amount.
All modified endowment policies that are issued within any calendar year to
the same policy owner by one company or its affiliates shall be treated as one
modified endowment policy for the purpose of determining the taxable portion of
any loan or distribution.
Hartford has instituted procedures to monitor whether a Certificate may
become a modified endowment contract after issue.
DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
Section 817 of the Code provides that a variable life insurance policy
(other than a pension plan policy) will not be treated as a life insurance
policy for any period during which the investments made by the separate account
underlying the policy are not adequately diversified in accordance with
regulations prescribed by the Treasury. If a policy is not treated as a life
insurance policy, the policy owner will be subject to income tax on the annual
increases in cash value. The Treasury has issued diversification regulations
which, among other things, generally require that no more than 55% of the value
of the total assets of the segregated asset account (such as the Funds)
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. If the diversification
standards are not met, non-pension policy owners will be subject to current tax
on the increase in cash value in the policy.
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
Owner must agree to pay the tax due for the period during which the
diversification standards were not met. The amount required to be paid shall be
an amount based upon the tax that would have been owed by the policy owner if
they were treated as receiving the income on the policy for such period or
periods.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
If any amounts are deemed to be current taxable income to the Owner, such
amounts will be subject to Federal income tax withholding and reporting,
pursuant to Section 3405 of the Internal Revenue Code.
OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS
Qualified tax advisers should be consulted concerning the estate and gift
tax consequences of Certificate ownership and distributions under federal, state
and local law.

PERFORMANCE RELATED INFORMATION
The Separate Account may advertise certain performance related information
concerning its Investment Divisions. Performance information about an Investment
Division is based on the Investment Division's past performance only and is no
indication of future performance.
Each Investment Division may include total return in advertisements, sales
literature, and other promotional materials. When an Investment Division
advertises its total return, it will usually be calculated for one year, five
years, and ten years or some other relevant periods if the Investment Division
has not been in existence for at least ten years. Total return may also be
calculated for the most recent fiscal quarter and for the period since
underlying fund inception. Total return is measured by comparing the value of an
investment in the Investment Division at the beginning of the relevant period to
the value of the investment at the end of the period.
The Investment Divisions investing in the Hartford Bond Fund, N&B AMT
Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio, J.P. Morgan Bond Portfolio, MS Fixed Income
Portfolio, and MS High Yield Portfolio may advertise yield in addition to total
return. The yield will be computed in the following manner: The net investment
income per unit earned during a recent one month period is divided by the unit
value on the last day of the period. This figure reflects the Certificate
charges described below.
The Investment Division investing in the Hartford Money Market Fund may
advertise yield and effective yield. The yield of an Investment Division is
based upon the income earned by the Investment Division over a seven-day period
and then annualized, i.e., the income earned in the period is assumed to be
earned every seven days over a 52-week period and stated as a percentage of the
investment. Effective yield is calculated similarly, but when annualized, the
income earned by the investment is assumed to be reinvested in Division units
and thus compounded in the course of a 52-week period. Yield reflects the
Certificate charges described below.
Total return for an Investment Division includes deductions for the maximum
sales load charge, mortality and expense risk charge, DAC tax charge, and the
administrative expense charge, and is therefore lower than total return at the
Portfolio level, where there are no comparable charges. The performance results
do not reflect the cost of insurance or any state or local premium taxes. If
these charges were included, the total return figures would be lower. Total
return may also be calculated to include deductions for Separate Account
charges, but not include deductions for the sales load charge, DAC tax charge or
any state or local premium taxes. If reflected, the total return figures would
reduce the performance quoted. Yield for an Investment Division includes all
recurring charges (except sales charges) and is therefore lower than yield at
the Portfolio level, where there are no comparable charges.
Hartford may provide information on various topics to current and
prospective 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), plan and trust arrangements, the advantages and disadvantages
of investing in tax-advantaged and taxable instruments, current and prospective
Owner profiles and hypothetical purchase scenarios, financial management and tax
and retirement planning, and investment alternatives, including comparisons
between the Certificates and the characteristics of and market for such
alternatives.

APPENDIX A
ILLUSTRATIONS OF DEATH BENEFIT, CASH VALUE
AND CASH SURRENDER VALUE
The following tables illustrate how the Death Benefit, Cash Value and Cash
Surrender Value of a Group Policy may change with the investment experience of
the Separate Account. The tables show how the Death Benefit, Cash Value and Cash
Surrender Value of a Certificate issued to an Insured of a given age would vary
over time if the investment return on the assets held in each Portfolio were a
uniform, gross annual rate of 0%, 6% and 12%. The Death Benefit, Cash Value and
Cash Surrender Value would be different from those shown if the gross annual
investment returns averaged 0%, 6% and 12% over a period of years, but
fluctuated above and below those averages for individual Coverage Years. The
tables assume that no Loans are made and that no partial withdrawals have been
made. The tables are also based on the assumption that the Owner has not
requested an increase or decrease in the Face Amount and that no transfers have
been made in any Coverage Years.
The tables on pages 34 to 45 illustrate a Certificate issued to a Male
Insured, Age 45 in the Medical Non-Smoker Class with an Initial Face Amount of
$250,000. The Death Benefit, Cash Value and Cash Surrender Value would be lower
if the Insured was a smoker or in a special class since the cost of insurance
charges would increase.
The tables reflect the fact that the net return on the assets held in the
Investment Divisions is lower than the gross after-tax return of the Portfolios.
This is because these tables assume an investment management fee and other
estimated Portfolio expenses totaling 0.82%. The 0.82% figure is based on an
average of the current management fees and expenses of the available 25
Portfolios, taking into account any applicable expense caps or reimbursement
arrangements. Actual fees and expenses of the Portfolios associated with a
Certificate may be more or less than 0.82%, will vary from year to year, and
will depend on how the Cash Value is allocated.
As their headings indicate, the tables reflect the deductions of current
contractual charges and guaranteed contractual charges for a single gross
interest rate. These charges include the front-end sales load, the daily charge
to the Separate Account for assuming mortality and expense risks, and the
monthly administrative expense and cost of insurance charges. All tables assume
a charge of 2.00% for taxes attributable to premiums, a 1.25% charge for the
federal DAC tax and reflect the fact that no charges against the Separate
Account are currently made for federal, state or local taxes attributable to the
Group Policy or Certificate.
Each table also shows the amount to which the premiums would accumulate if
an amount equal to those premiums were invested to earn interest, after taxes,
at 5% compounded annually.
Upon request, Hartford will furnish a comparable illustration based on a
proposed Certificate's specific circumstances.

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 A meets the definition of "Separate Account" under
Rule 6e-3(T).
2. Hartford undertakes to keep and make available to the Commission upon
request any documents used to support any representations as to the
reasonableness of fees.
REPRESENTATION OF REASONABLENESS OF FEES
Hartford Life Insurance Company ("Hartford") hereby represents that the
aggregate fees and charges under the Policy are reasonable in relation to the
services rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred, and the risks
assumed by Hartford.
UNDERTAKING ON INDEMNIFICATION
Under Section 33-772 of the Connecticut General Statutes, unless limited
by its certificate of incorporation, the Registrant must indemnify a director
who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any
proceeding to which he was a party because he is or was a director of the
corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with
the proceeding.
The Registrant may indemnify an individual made a party to a proceeding
because he is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding
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 Registrant, and, with respect to any
criminal proceeding, had no reason to believe his conduct was unlawful. Conn.
Gen. Stat. Section 33-771(a). Additionally, pursuant to Conn. Gen. Stat.
Section 33-776, the Registrant may indemnify officers and employees or agents
for liability incurred and for any expenses to which they becomes subject by
reason of being or having been an employees or officers of the Registrant.
Connecticut law does not prescribe standards for the indemnification of
officers, employees and agents and expressly states that their
indemnification may be broader than the right of indemnification granted to
directors.
The foregoing statements are specifically made subject to the detailed
provisions of Section 33-770 et seq.
Notwithstanding the fact that Connecticut law obligates the Registrant
to indemnify only a director that was successful on the merits in a suit,
under Article VIII, Section 2 of the Registrant's bylaws, the Registrant must
indemnify both directors and officers of the Registrant who are parties or
threatened to be parties to a legal proceeding by reason of his being or
having been a director or officer of the Registrant for any expenses 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, and with respect to criminal
proceedings, had no reason to believe his conduct was unlawful. Unless
otherwise mandated by a court, no indemnification shall be made if such
officer or director is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in
the performance of his duty to the Registrant.
Additionally, the directors and officers of Hartford and Hartford Equity
Sales Company, Inc. ("HESCO") are covered under a directors and officers
liability insurance policy issued to The Hartford Financial Services Group,
Inc. and its subsidiaries. Such policy will reimburse the Registrant for any
payments that it shall make to directors and officers pursuant to law and
will, subject to certain exclusions contained in the policy, further pay any
other costs,
<PAGE>
charges and expenses and settlements and judgments arising from any
proceeding involving any director or officer of the Registrant in his past or
present capacity as such, and for which he may be liable, except as to any
liabilities arising from acts that are deemed to be uninsurable.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities 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,
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 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.

has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the

LIFE INSURANCE BENEFITS (CONTINUED)
DEATH PROCEEDS: We will pay the death proceeds to the beneficiary upon due
proof of the death of an Insured before the Maturity Date. The proceeds may be
paid in cash or be allocated to any other payment option selected by the
beneficiary and agreed upon by Us.
Death Proceeds depend upon the Death Benefit Option in effect and are determined
at the date of death of an Insured as follows:
DEATH BENEFIT OPTION A
1. The death benefit, which is the larger of the Face Amount and the Variable
Insurance Amount; LESS
2. Any Debt; PLUS
3. Any amounts due from riders.
DEATH BENEFIT OPTION B
1. The death benefit, which is the larger of (a) the Face Amount plus the Cash
Value and (b) the Variable Insurance Amount; LESS
2. Any Debt; PLUS
3. Any amounts due from riders.
The Death Benefit Option in effect is shown in the Certificate Specifications.
CHANGES IN DEATH BENEFIT OPTION: The Death Benefit Option of a Certificate may
be changed by a written request made by the Owner during the lifetime of the
Insured and while the Certificate is in force. If the change is from Option A
to Option B, satisfactory evidence of insurability must be provided to Us. If
the change is to Option B, the Face Amount after the change will be equal to the
Face Amount before the change less the Cash Value on the effective date of the
change. If the change is to Option A, the Face Amount after the change will be
equal to the Face Amount before the change plus the Cash Value on the effective
date of change. The change will become effective at the beginning of the
Coverage month following Our approval. We will notify the Owner that the change
has been made.
If the Insured dies during any grace period We will pay the beneficiary the
Death Proceeds in effect immediately prior to such grace period reduced by the
sum of any overdue charges and any charges incurred to the date of death.
INTEREST ON DEATH PROCEEDS: Interest will be paid on death proceeds from date
of death to date of payment. Interest will never be less than required by

change beneficiaries. Written notice of change must be given to Us in a form
satisfactory to Us, and the change is subject to Our approval. If approved, the
change will take effect the date the notice is signed. However, the change will
not affect any payment made or action taken by Us before We received the notice
of change at Our Customer Service Center.

SECTION IV - CONTINUATION OF INSURANCE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTINUATION OF INSURANCE
If premium payments are discontinued, We will continue insurance Coverage under
the Certificate as long as the Cash Surrender Value is sufficient to cover the
charges due. This Continuation of Insurance provision will not continue the
Coverage under the Certificate beyond age 100, nor will it continue any optional
benefit rider beyond its date of termination.
If this Policy is discontinued or if this Policy is amended to discontinue the
eligible class to which an Insured belongs or if the Insured ceases to be a
member of an eligible class and if the Coverage on the Insured is not
transferred to another insurance carrier, any insurance then in effect under a
Certificate will remain in force under the Certificate, provided it is not
cancelled or surrendered by the Owner, subject to the qualifications stated
above. All Certificate premiums will be changed from a list bill status to a
direct billing status. Certificate premiums will then be payable by the Owner
directly to Us.
Certificates on a direct billing basis are in a separate and distinct class from
Certificates who are on a list bill basis.
HL-GVL95(P)NY 9
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION V - NONFORFEITURE BENEFITS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NONFORFEITURE BENEFITS
There are rights and benefits available to the Owner during the Insured's
lifetime.
CASH VALUE BENEFITS: If the Cash Surrender Value is positive, the Owner may
surrender the Certificate to receive the full Cash Surrender Value.
CASH SURRENDER VALUE: The Cash Surrender Value is determined as follows:
1. Determine the Cash Value;
2. Deduct any Expense Charges and Insurance Charges shown in the
Specifications incurred but not yet deducted; and
3. Deduct any Debt.
The Cash Surrender Value may be paid in cash or allocated to any other payment
option agreed upon by Us. To surrender a Certificate a written request for
surrender in a form satisfactory to Us must be submitted to Our Customer Service
Center. The surrender will take effect on the Valuation Day the request is
received by Us. We will determine the Cash Surrender Value as of the Valuation
Day We receive the written request at Our Customer Service Center. We will
usually pay the Cash Surrender Value within seven days, but We may delay payment
as described under the PAYMENTS WE MAY DEFER provision.
PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL OF CASH SURRENDER VALUE: Partial withdrawal of the Cash
Surrender Value can be made before the Maturity Date subject to any limitations
described below and contained in the Specifications. Each partial withdrawal is
subject to a Partial Withdrawal Processing Fee, which is shown in the
Specifications. Unless the Owner specifies otherwise, partial withdrawals and
the Partial Withdrawal Processing Fee will be allocated in proportion to the
Investment Value in each Division as of the date of the partial withdrawal. Any
partial withdrawal will have a permanent effect on the Cash Surrender Values and
may have a permanent effect on the death benefits. Partial withdrawal will
reduce the Cash Surrender Value, Cash Value, and Investment Value. If Death
Benefit Option A is in effect, a partial withdrawal and any applicable Partial
Withdrawal Processing Fee will be deducted from the Face Amount.
A request for a partial withdrawal must be made in written form satisfactory to
Us. The effective date of a partial withdrawal will be the Valuation Day We
receive a written request at Our Customer Service Center. The amount requested
must be at least equal to the minimum partial withdrawal amount shown in the
Specifications.
The Maximum Withdrawal Percentage is shown in the Specifications. The amount of
a partial withdrawal may not exceed the sum of the Cash Surrender Value plus
any existing Debt multiplied by the Maximum Withdrawal Percentage, less existing
Debt.

SECTION VI - PAYMENT OPTIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PAYMENT OPTIONS
In lieu of a cash payment in one sum, the Owner may elect to have the whole or
any part of the proceeds due at the surrender of a Certificate held by Us paid
under any payment option selected by the Owner and agreed upon by Us. At the
death of an Insured, in lieu of a cash payment in one sum, the beneficiary may
elect to have the whole or any part of the death proceeds held by Us and paid
under any payment option selected by the beneficiary and agreed upon by Us. For
each payment option selected We will issue a written agreement putting the
selection into effect.
HL-GVL95(P)NY 11
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION VII - LOANS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOANS
GENERAL: The Owner may borrow against the Cash Surrender Value. The
Certificate will be the only security We require for the Loan. A Loan may be
taken any time if insurance is in effect. The Loan may be repaid at any time
while the Insured is living.
WHEN WE WILL MAKE A LOAN: We will usually loan the money within 7 business days
after We receive a request satisfactory to Us. We may delay making the Loan as
described in the PAYMENTS WE MAY DEFER provision.
LOAN VALUE: The maximum Loan value percentage is shown in the Specifications.
The amount of the Loan may not exceed the sum of the Cash Surrender Value plus
any existing Debt multiplied by the maximum Loan value percentage, less existing
Debt.
INTEREST: Interest accrues daily at the Adjustable Loan Interest Rate. The
interest rate will be effective at the beginning of each Coverage Year and it
applies to new and outstanding Loans. Interest payments are due as shown in the
Specifications. If interest is not paid within 5 days of its due date it will
be added to the amount of the Loan as of its due date. The sum of all
outstanding Loans plus accrued interest is the Debt.
There is a maximum interest rate that We can charge for Certificate loans. The
rate charged will be determined two months before the start of each Coverage
Year. The maximum rate will be the greater of 5% and the Published Monthly
Average for the calendar month two months before the date on which the rate is
determined. The Published Monthly Average means the "Moody's Corporate Bond
Yield Average - Monthly Average Corporates" as published by Moody's Investors
Service, Inc., or any successor to that service. If that Monthly Average is no
longer published, a substitute average will be used. The substitute average
must be acceptable to the Insurance Commissioner of the state in which this
Policy is issued.
If the maximum loan interest rate for a Coverage Year is at least 1/2% higher
than the rate in effect for the prior Coverage Year, We may increase the rate to
not more than the new maximum. If the maximum loan interest rate for a Coverage
Year is at least 1/2% lower than the rate in effect for the prior Coverage Year,
We will decrease the rate to not more than that new maximum.
Interest will accrue daily from the date of the loan, and is due on each
anniversary of the Coverage Date. Unpaid interest will be added to existing
debt, and will bear interest at the same rate.
The initial Adjustable Loan Interest Rate is shown in the Certificate
Specifications. We will give 30 days advance written notice before the start of
each Coverage Year of the interest rate for the new Coverage Year. If there is
an existing Loan on the Certificate, We will give the Owner at least 15 days
advance notice of any increase or decrease in the Adjustable Loan Interest Rate.
EFFECTS OF A LOAN: A Loan will be taken out of the Divisions and a repayment or
Loan interest payment will go into the Divisions. A Loan reduces the Investment
Value while repayment or Loan interest payment increases it. Unless the Owner
specifies otherwise, Loans, repayments, and Loan Interest payments will be
allocated in proportion to the Investment Value in each Division as of the date
of the Loan, repayment, or Loan interest payment. A Loan, whether or not
repaid, will have a permanent effect on the Cash Surrender Value and may have a
permanent effect on the death benefit. If not repaid, the Loan will reduce the
amount of death proceeds. If on any business day there is a Loan outstanding
and the Cash Surrender Value is negative, We will send an overloan notice to the
Owner. We will terminate the Certificate 31 days after We send the overloan
notice. We will notify anyone who holds the Certificate as collateral at their
last known address.
HL-GVL95(P)NY 12

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION VIII - PREMIUM PAYMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PREMIUM PAYMENTS
Additional premiums may be paid at any time while coverage is in force. We
reserve the right to request evidence of insurability satisfactory to Us before
We accept any premium payment which would increase the Net Amount at Risk.
Unless specified otherwise, if there is any Debt, any additional premium payment
will be used as a Loan repayment with any excess applied as an additional
premium payment.
We also reserve the right to return any premium that would cause the Certificate
to be disqualified as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue
Code, as amended.
The initial premium payment is required to put the Certificate in effect. The
amount and allocation of the initial premium payment is shown in the Certificate
Specifications.
On the date We receive and accept a premium payment the Variable Insurance
Amount will reflect such payment.
GRACE PERIOD: A grace period of 61 days will be allowed following the date We
mail to the Owner notice that the Cash Surrender Value is insufficient to pay
the Expense Charges and Insurance Charges due. We will mail this notice at
least 15 days, but more than 45 days, prior to the date on which insurance would
terminate. Unless the Owner has given Us written notice of termination in
advance of the date of termination of any Certificate, insurance will continue
in force during the grace period. The Owner will be liable to Us for all
Expense Charges and Insurance Charges then unpaid for the period the Certificate
remains in force.
REINSTATE CERTIFICATE: Reinstatement of a Certificate may be requested within
three (3) years of the date of lapse. Reinstatement will not be allowed after
the death of the Insured, if the Certificate was surrendered for its Cash
Surrender Value or if this Policy was discontinued.
The cost to reinstate is a premium large enough to keep the coverage under the
Certificate in force for at least three (3) months following the date of
reinstatement.
The effective date of reinstatement is the date We accept the request for
reinstatement. We will not require evidence of insurability to reinstate within
one month after the end of the grace period if the Insured is alive. In other
cases, We will require evidence of insurability satisfactory to Us.
HL-GVL95(P)NY 13

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION IX - ALLOCATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALLOCATIONS
PREMIUMS: The premium less premium loading shown in the Specifications is
allocated to selected Divisions on the date We receive and accept it. The
initial allocation is shown in the Certificate Specifications. Additional
premiums will be allocated on the same percentage basis unless a change is
requested by the Owner and agreed upon by Us (see ALLOCATION CHANGE FOR FUTURE
PREMIUMS). On the date We receive and accept an additional premium payment the
increase in the Investment Value will be allocated to the Divisions.
REALLOCATION OF INVESTMENT VALUE: The Investment Value can be reallocated among
the Divisions. The number of changes allowed each Coverage Year is shown in the
Specifications. To make any change satisfactory notice must be given to Us. We
may defer making such a change for up to 7 business days from receipt of such
notice. Restrictions for reallocation into and out of the Divisions are shown
in the Specifications.
If on any Processing Date Debt exceeds the Loan Account Value, the amount of the
excess will be reallocated to the Loan Account from the Divisions in proportion
to the Investment Value in each Division on such date. Such a reallocation will
not affect restrictions on or charges for any other reallocations.
ALLOCATION CHANGES FOR FUTURE PREMIUMS: The percentage allocation of the
invested portion of future premiums to the Divisions can be changed.
Percentages must be in whole numbers. To make changes, We must be notified of
the new percentages in a form satisfactory to Us. Any change will take effect
with respect to premiums received on or after receipt of such notice.
ALLOCATION OF CHARGES: All Expense and Insurance Charges deducted from the
Investment Value on a Processing Date may be allocated to the Charge Deduction
Division as shown in the Specifications. If no Charge Deduction Division is
elected, these deductions will be made from the Divisions in proportion to the
Investment Value in each Division.
If the amount of the Investment Value of the Charge Deduction Division is less
than required to cover all charges due on such date:
1. We will apply the Investment Value of the Charge Deduction Division to the
charges due and set the Investment Value in the Division to zero; and
2. Any additional amount due will be allocated among the remaining Divisions
in the proportion that each Division's Investment Value bears to the total
Investment Value.
HL-GVL95(P)NY 14
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION X - CASH VALUE OF BENEFITS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CASH VALUE OF BENEFITS
GENERAL: The insurance benefits under this Policy are provided through
investments made in Our separate account. A detailed description of the method
we use to compute values and benefits is on file with the state in which this
certificate is delivered. These values are not less than those of that state.
SEPARATE ACCOUNTS: These accounts are separate from Our General Account and any
other separate accounts We may have. They support variable life insurance
benefits and are used for other purposes permitted by applicable laws and
regulations. We own the assets in the separate accounts. Assets equal to the
reserves and other liabilities of the accounts will not be charged with
liabilities from any other business We conduct. We may transfer to Our General
Account assets exceeding the reserves and other liabilities of the separate
accounts.
The separate accounts are governed by the laws of Our state of domicile.
Income and realized and unrealized gains or losses from assets in the separate
accounts are credited to or charged against the accounts without regard to other
income, gains or losses in Our other investment accounts.
CHANGES WITHIN A SEPARATE ACCOUNT: We may at times, make additional separate
account Divisions available to the Owner. We may also eliminate Divisions,
combine two or more Divisions or substitute a new portfolio for the portfolio in
which a Division invests. We will obtain required regulatory approvals to
affect the aforementioned changes, if any.
Subject to any required regulatory approvals, We have the right to transfer
assets of a separate account or of a Division to another separate account or
Division or combine the separate account with other separate accounts.
INVESTMENT VALUE IN EACH DIVISION: On the Coverage Date the Investment Value is
allocated to each Division as shown in the Specifications.
Thereafter, the Investment Value in each division is:
1. The Investment Value of the Division at the end of the last Valuation
Period.
2. Multiply (1) by the Division's net rate of return for the current Valuation
Period.
3. Add (1) and (2).
4. Add to (3) any experience credits not paid in cash, any premium payments
(less any deductions shown in the Specifications) allocated to the Division
during the current Valuation Period.
5. Add or subtract reallocations to or from that Division during the current
Valuation Period.
6. Add or subtract from (5) any amounts allocated to the Division during the
current Valuation Period because of a Loan, Loan interest payment, Loan
repayment or partial withdrawal.
7. If a processing date occurs during the current Valuation Period, subtract
from (6) the amounts allocated to that Division for:
a. Administrative Expense Charges; and
b. Insurance Charges.
Amounts in (7) will be allocated to each Division in the proportion that (6)
bears to the Investment Value, unless a Charge Deductions Division applies.

CASH VALUE OF BENEFITS (CONTINUED)
8. If the charges in (7) exceed the amount in (6), first calculate the Cash
Surrender Value for the amount of any overdue charges and then set the
Investment Value in each Division to zero.
CASH VALUE DEDUCTIONS:
COST OF INSURANCE: We will deduct the cost of insurance on each Processing Date
as follows;
1. We determine the death benefit as of the beginning of the Processing
Period, and discount it with interest for one month since deaths are
assumed to occur at the end of each month.
2. We subtract from (1) the Cash Value as of the beginning of the Processing
Period.
3. We determine the current cost of insurance rate based on the sex, Attained
Age, and underwriting class.
4. We multiply (2) by (3).
We may reduce or increase the cost of insurance rates from time to time. The
change will never be retroactive. The rates will never be more than the
guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rates shown in the Specifications.
OTHER DEDUCTIONS: Expense Charges are shown in the Specifications. The cost of
any benefits from riders is also shown in the Specifications.
CHANGES IN CHARGES: Changes in Expense Charges, Insurance Charges or Separate
Account Charges will be by class and based upon changes in future expectations
for such elements as: mortality, persistency, expenses and taxes. Assumptions
affecting these changes will be reviewed at least once every five years in order
to determine whether changes are necessary.
MEASUREMENT OF INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE FOR DIVISIONS: The investment experience
of a separate account Division is determined at the end of each Division's
Valuation Period. We use an index to measure changes in experience during a
Valuation Period. The index is set at $10 when the first investments in a
Division are made. The index for a current Valuation Period equals the index
for the last Valuation Period multiplied by the experience factor for the
current Valuation Period.
THE EXPERIENCE FACTOR:
SEPARATE ACCOUNT DIVISIONS: The experience factor for a Valuation Period
reflects the investment experience of the portfolio in which the Division
invests and the charges assessed to the Division. The factor is calculated as
follows:
1. Calculate the net asset value at the end of a current Valuation Period of a
Division's corresponding portfolio.
2. Add the amount of any dividend or capital gains distribution declared
during the current Valuation Period for such portfolio. Subtract a charge
for taxes, if any.
3. Divide (2) by the net asset value of the portfolio at the end of the last
Valuation Period.

CASH VALUE OF BENEFITS (CONTINUED)
4. Subtract the Separate Account Charges for each Division shown in the
Specifications for each day in the Valuation Period.
Calculations for Divisions investing in open ended investment management
companies are on a per unit basis. Calculations for Divisions investing in
mutual fund portfolios are made on a per share basis.
NET RATE OF RETURN FOR A DIVISION: The net rate of return during a Valuation
Period is the experience factor for that Valuation Period minus one.

We rely on the statements that an Insured or an Owner makes in the enrollment
form. We can contest the validity of the coverage under this Policy if any
material misstatements are made in the initial enrollment form or other document
required to put coverage in force. We can also contest any amount payable
because of a requested increase in Face Amount if any material misstatements are

BENEFITS Section) made.
If an Insured dies by suicide more than two years after the Coverage Date but
within two years from the date We receive and accept a premium payment which
resulted in an increase in the Net Amount at Risk, Our liability with respect to
coverage attributable to such payment is limited to the return of such cash
value deductions (described in the CASH VALUE OF BENEFITS Section) made for such
increase in the Net Amount at Risk.
ASSIGNMENT: The benefits can be assigned by the Owner. This does not change
the ownership and all rights are subject to the terms of the assignment. To
make or release an assignment, We must receive written notice satisfactory to Us
at Our Customer Service Center. We are not responsible for the validity of any

Customer Service Center.
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX: If the age or sex of an Insured is misstated the
amount of any benefits will be adjusted. The amount of the adjustment will be:
1. The amount of insurance which the cost of insurance for the Processing
Period would have purchased using the cost of insurance for the correct age
and sex; less
2. The amount of insurance actually used in calculating the cost of insurance
for the Processing Period.
If the age is misstated in such a way that the Insured was not eligible for
coverage under this Policy, Our liability will be limited to a return of the
premiums paid less any partial withdrawals that have been made and any
outstanding Debt.
CERTIFICATES: Certificates will be furnished to the Owner by Us. Each
Certificate will summarize provisions of this Policy affecting an individual
Insured.
VALUE REPORTS: We will send the Owner reports at the times agreed upon by the
Owner and Us, but not less often than annually. The report will show the Face
Amount, death benefit, Cash Surrender Value and any Loan as of such date. The
report will also show the allocation of the Investment Value on such date and
any changes since the last report. The report will also include any other
information required by the insurance regulatory authority of the jurisdiction
in which this Policy is issued.
POLICY CHANGES-APPLICABLE TAX LAW: To receive the tax treatment accorded life
insurance under Federal law, insurance under this Policy must qualify initially
and continue to qualify as life insurance under the Internal Revenue Code or
successor law. To maintain such qualification, We reserve the right to return
any premium payments or to reject any requests for change in an Insured's
coverage. Further, We reserve the right to make changes in this Policy or its
riders or to make distributions to the extent We deem necessary to continue to
qualify as life insurance. Any such changes will apply to all Certificates that
are affected. The Policyholder and the Owner will be given advance written
notice of such change.
PAYMENTS WE MAY DEFER: We may not be able to determine the value of the assets
of the separate account Divisions because:
1. the NYSE is closed for trading;
2. the SEC determines that a state of emergency exists; or
3. an order of the SEC permitting a delay for the protection of Owners.
During such times, We may delay:
1. determination and payment of partial withdrawals, Cash Surrender Values and
Loan requests;
2. determination and payment of any death proceeds in excess of the Face
Amount; and
3. allocation changes of the Cash Value.

SECTION XI - GENERAL PROVISIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL PROVISIONS (CONTINUED)
We may, at any time, defer payment of partial withdrawals, Cash Surrender Values
or Loan requests up to 7 business days of a written request for amounts in the
Divisions. For Divisions which are not valued on each business day, We may
defer until the next Valuation Day:
1) determination and payment of partial withdrawals, Cash Surrender Values and
Loans;
2) determination and payment of any death proceeds in excess of the Face
Amount; and
3) reallocation of the Cash Value.
CLAIMS OF CREDITORS: Proceeds described in the Certificate will be free from
creditors' claims to the extent allowed by law.
COMPUTATIONS: Computations of maximum mortality costs are based on the
mortality table and interest rate shown in the Specifications. We also use
Attained Age and sex of the Insured and it is assumed death proceeds are
incurred at the end of each month.
TO CLAIM DEATH PROCEEDS: Contact Our Customer Service Center for instructions.
Proceeds are usually paid within 7 business days after receipt of due proof of
death and all other requirements.
INSURANCE RECORDS: The Policyholder will furnish Us information relative to the
insurance under this Policy as We may require to administer this Policy and
determine premiums. Such records which in Our opinion have a bearing on this
Policy will be open to Us for inspection at all reasonable times.
CLERICAL ERROR: Clerical error in keeping records will not void insurance which
otherwise would have been in force nor continue insurance which otherwise would
have terminated. If an error is found, We will equitably adjust the premium.
However, We will not adjust the premium for more than the three year period
before the date the error was found.
AGENCY: Neither the Policyholder nor any administrator appointed by the
Policyholder is Our agent. We are not liable for any of their acts or
omissions.
FACILITY OF PAYMENT: If no beneficiary is named, We reserve the right to pay
an amount not to exceed $2,000 to any person We determine to be entitled to such
amount by reason of incurred expenses incident to the last illness or death of
the Insured.
CHANGE IN PREMIUM OR OTHER STATE AND LOCAL TAXES: Following the effective date
of any tax law, or change to any such law, applicable to this Policy, We have
the right to change the amount due under this Policy for payment of such premium
or other state and local taxes. The amount of such change will be determined by
the amount of changes in the tax imposed. Any change due to a premium or other
state and local tax will be separate from, and will not affect any change in
cost of insurance made under the terms of this Policy.
EXPERIENCE CREDIT: We will have the right to allow an experience credit in an
amount determined by Us, based on the experience under this Policy. The amount
of each such experience credit may be paid to an Owner in cash or applied to and
used to increase Investment Value and Variable Insurance Amount.

LIFE INSURANCE BENEFITS
(CONTINUED)
DEATH PROCEEDS: We will pay the death proceeds to the beneficiary upon due
proof of the death of the Insured before the Maturity Date. The proceeds may be
paid in cash or be allocated to any other payment option selected by the
beneficiary and agreed upon by Us.
Death Proceeds depend upon the Death Benefit Option in effect and are determined
at the date of death of the Insured as follows:
DEATH BENEFIT OPTION A
1. The death benefit, which is the larger of the Face Amount and the Variable
Insurance Amount; LESS
2. Any Debt; PLUS
3. Any amounts due from riders.
DEATH BENEFIT OPTION B
1. The death benefit, which is the larger of (a) the Face Amount plus the Cash
Value and (b) the Variable Insurance Amount; LESS
2. Any Debt; PLUS
3. Any amounts due from riders.
The Death Benefit Option in effect is shown in the Specifications.
CHANGES IN DEATH BENEFIT OPTION: The Death Benefit Option may be changed
by a written request made by You during the lifetime of the Insured and while
this Certificate is in force. If the change is from Option A to Option B,
satisfactory evidence of insurability must be provided to Us. If the change
is to Option B, the Face Amount after the change will be equal to the Face
Amount before the change less the Cash Value on the effective date of the
change. If the change is to Option A, the Face Amount after the change will
be equal to the Face Amount before the change plus the Cash Value on the
effective date of change. The change will become effective at the beginning
of the Coverage Month following Our approval. We will notify You that the
change has been made.
If the Insured dies during any grace period We will pay the beneficiary the
Death Proceeds in effect immediately prior to such grace period reduced by
the sum of any overdue charges and any charges incurred to the date of death.
INTEREST ON DEATH PROCEEDS: Interest will be paid on death proceeds from
date of death to date of payment. Interest will never be less than required
by applicable law.
BENEFICIARY: We will pay the death proceeds to the designated beneficiary.
Unless the designation of the beneficiary is irrevocable, there is a right to
change beneficiaries. Written notice of change must be given to Us in a form
satisfactory to Us, and the change is subject to Our approval. If approved,
the change will take effect the date the notice is signed. However, the
change will not affect any payment made or action taken by Us before We
received the notice of change at Our Customer Service Center.

SECTION IV - CONTINUATION OF INSURANCE
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTINUATION
OF INSURANCE
If premium payments are discontinued, We will continue insurance Coverage
under this Certificate as long as the Cash Surrender Value is sufficient to
cover the charges due. This Continuation of Insurance provision will not
continue the Coverage under this Certificate beyond age 100, nor will it
continue any optional benefit rider beyond its date of termination.
If the Policy is discontinued or if the Policy is amended to discontinue the
eligible class to which the Insured belongs or if the Insured ceases to be a
member of an eligible class and if the Coverage on the Insured is not
transferred to another insurance carrier, any insurance then in effect will
remain in force under the discontinued Policy, provided it is not cancelled
or surrendered by You, subject to the qualifications stated above.
Certificate premiums will then be payable by You directly to Us.
[Certificates on a direct billing basis are in a separate and distinct class
from Certificates who are on a list bill basis.]

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION V - NONFORFEITURE BENEFITS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NONFORFEITURE BENEFITS
There are rights and benefits available to You during the Insured's lifetime.
CASH VALUE BENEFITS: If the Cash Surrender Value is positive, You may
surrender this Certificate to receive the full Cash Surrender Value.
CASH SURRENDER VALUE: The Cash Surrender Value is determined as follows:
1. Determine the Cash Value;
2. Deduct any Expense Charges and Insurance Charges shown in the
Specifications incurred but not yet deducted; and
3. Deduct any Debt.
The Cash Surrender Value may be paid in cash or allocated to any other
payment option agreed upon by Us. To surrender a Certificate a written
request for surrender in a form satisfactory to Us must be submitted to Our
Customer Service Center. The surrender will take effect on the Valuation Day
following the date the request is received by Us. We will determine the Cash
Surrender Value as of the Valuation Day We receive the written request at Our
Customer Service Center. We will usually pay the Cash Surrender Value within
seven days, but We may delay payment as described under the PAYMENTS WE MAY
DEFER Section.
PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL OF CASH SURRENDER VALUE: Partial withdrawal of the Cash
Surrender Value can be made before the Maturity Date subject to any
limitations contained in the Specifications. Each partial withdrawal is
subject to a Partial Withdrawal Processing Fee, which is shown in the
Specifications. Unless You specify otherwise, partial withdrawals and the
Partial Withdrawal Processing Fee will be allocated in proportion to the
Investment Value in each Division as of the date of the partial withdrawal.
Any partial withdrawal will have a permanent effect on the Cash Surrender
Values and may have a permanent effect on the death benefits. Partial
withdrawal will reduce the Cash Surrender Value, Cash Value, and Investment
Value. If Death Benefit Option A is in effect, a partial withdrawal and any
applicable Partial Withdrawal Processing Fee will be deducted from the Face
Amount.
A request for a partial withdrawal must be made in written form satisfactory
to Us. The effective date of a partial withdrawal will be the Valuation Day
We receive a written request at Our Customer Service Center. The amount
requested must be at least equal to the minimum partial withdrawal amount
shown in the Specifications. The maximum amount that may be withdrawn is
shown in the Specifications.
The Maximum Withdrawal Percentage is shown in the Specifications. The amount
of a partial withdrawal may not exceed the sum of the Cash Surrender Value
plus any existing Debt multiplied by the Maximum Withdrawal Percentage, less
existing Debt.

SECTION VI - PAYMENT OPTIONS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PAYMENT OPTIONS
In lieu of a cash payment in one sum, You may elect to have the whole or any
part of the proceeds due at the surrender of this Certificate held by Us paid
under any payment option selected by You and agreed upon by Us. At the death
of the Insured, in lieu of a cash payment in one sum, the beneficiary may
elect to have the whole or any part of the death proceeds held by Us and paid
under any payment option selected by the beneficiary and agreed upon by Us.
For each payment option selected We will issue a written agreement putting
the selection into effect.
HL-GVL95(C) 11
<PAGE>
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION VII - LOANS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOANS
GENERAL: You may borrow against the Cash Surrender Value. This Certificate
will be the only security We require for the Loan. A Loan may be taken any
time if insurance is in effect. The Loan may be repaid at any time while the
Insured is living.
WHEN WE WILL MAKE A LOAN: We will usually loan the money within 7 business
days after We receive a request satisfactory to Us. We may delay making the
Loan as described in the PAYMENTS WE MAY DEFER provision.
LOAN VALUE: The maximum Loan value percentage is shown in the
Specifications. The amount of the Loan may not exceed the sum of the Cash
Surrender Value plus any existing Debt multiplied by the maximum Loan value
percentage, less existing Debt.
INTEREST: Interest accrues daily at the Adjustable Loan Interest Rate. The
interest rate will be effective at the beginning of each Coverage Year and it
applies to new and outstanding Loans. Interest payments are due as shown in
the Specifications. If interest is not paid within 5 days of its due date it
will be added to the amount of the Loan as of its due date. The sum of all
outstanding Loans plus accrued interest is the Debt.
There is a maximum interest rate that We can charge for Certificate loans.
The rate charged will be determined two months before the start of each
Coverage Year. The maximum rate will be the greater of 5% and the Published
Monthly Average for the calendar month two months before the date on which
the rate is determined. The Published Monthly Average means the "Moody's
Corporate Bond Yield Average - Monthly Average Corporates" as published by
Moody's Investors Service, Inc., or any successor to that service. If that
Monthly Average is no longer published, a substitute average will be used.
The substitute average must be acceptable to the Insurance Commissioner of
the state in which the Policy is issued.
If the maximum loan interest rate for a Coverage Year is at least 1/2% higher
than the rate in effect for the prior Coverage Year, We may increase the rate
to not more than the new maximum. If the maximum loan interest rate for a
Coverage Year is at least 1/2% lower than the rate in effect for the prior
Coverage Year, We will decrease the rate to not more than that new maximum.
Interest will accrue daily from the date of the loan, and is due on each
anniversary of the Coverage Year. Unpaid interest will be added to existing
debt, and will bear interest at the same rate.
The initial Adjustable Loan Interest Rate is shown in the Specifications.
We will give 30 days advance written notice before the start of each Coverage
Year of the interest rate for the new Coverage Year. If there is an
existing Loan on this Certificate, We will give You at least 15 days advance
notice of any increase or decrease in the Adjustable Loan Interest Rate.
EFFECTS OF A LOAN: A Loan will be taken out of the Divisions and a repayment
or Loan interest payment will go into the Divisions. A Loan reduces the
Investment Value while repayment or Loan interest payment increases it.
Unless You specifies otherwise, Loans, repayments, and Loan Interest payments
will be allocated in proportion to the Investment Value in each Division as
of the date of the Loan, repayment, or Loan interest payment. A Loan,
whether or not repaid, will have a permanent effect on the Cash Surrender
Value and may have a permanent effect on the death benefit. If not repaid,
the Loan will reduce the amount of death proceeds. If on any business day
there is a Loan outstanding and the Cash Surrender Value is negative, We will
send an overloan notice to You. We will terminate this Certificate 31 days
after We send the overloan notice. We will notify anyone who holds this
Certificate as collateral at their last known address.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION VIII - PREMIUM PAYMENTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PREMIUM PAYMENTS
Additional premiums may be paid at any time while coverage is in force. We
reserve the right to request evidence of insurability satisfactory to Us
before We accept any premium payment which would increase the Net Amount at
Risk. Unless specified otherwise, if there is any Debt, any additional
premium payment will be used as a Loan repayment with any excess applied as
an additional premium payment.
We also reserve the right to return any premium that would cause this
Certificate to be disqualified as life insurance under Section 7702 of the
Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
The initial premium payment is required to put this Certificate in effect.
The amount and allocation of the initial premium payment is shown in the
Specifications.
On the date We receive and accept a premium payment the Variable Insurance
Amount will reflect such payment.
GRACE PERIOD: A grace period of 61 days will be allowed following the date
We mail to You notice that the Cash Surrender Value is insufficient to pay
the Expense Charges and Insurance Charges due. We will mail this notice at
least 15 days, but more than 45 days, prior to the date on which insurance
would terminate. Unless You have given Us written notice of termination in
advance of the date of termination of any Certificate, insurance will
continue in force during the grace period. You will be liable to Us for all
Expense Charges and Insurance Charges then unpaid for the period this
Certificate remains in force.
REINSTATE CERTIFICATE: Reinstatement of a Certificate may be requested
within three (3) years of the date of lapse. Reinstatement will not be
allowed after the death of the Insured, if this Certificate was surrendered
for its Cash Surrender Value or if the Policy was discontinued.
The cost to reinstate is a premium large enough to keep the coverage under
this Certificate in force for at least three (3) months following the date of
reinstatement.
The effective date of reinstatement is the date We accept the request for
reinstatement. We will not require evidence of insurability to reinstate
within one month after the end of the grace period if the Insured is alive.
In other cases, We will require evidence of insurability satisfactory to Us.
HL-GVL95(C) 13

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION IX - ALLOCATIONS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALLOCATIONS
PREMIUMS: The premium less premium loading shown in the Specifications is
allocated to selected Divisions on the date We receive and accept it. The
initial allocation is shown in the Specifications. Additional premiums will
be allocated on the same percentage basis unless a change is requested by You
and agreed upon by Us (see ALLOCATION CHANGE FOR FUTURE PREMIUMS). On the
date We receive and accept an additional premium payment the increase in the
Investment Value will be allocated to the Divisions.
REALLOCATION OF INVESTMENT VALUE: The Investment Value can be reallocated
among the Divisions. The number of changes allowed each Coverage Year is
shown in the Specifications. To make any change satisfactory notice must be
given to Us. We may defer making such a change for up to 7 business days
from receipt of such notice. Restrictions for reallocation into and out of
the Divisions are shown in the Specifications.
If on any Processing Date Debt exceeds the Loan Account Value, the amount of
the excess will be reallocated to the Loan Account from the Divisions in
proportion to the Investment Value in each Division on such date. Such a
reallocation will not affect restrictions on or charges for any other
reallocations.
ALLOCATION CHANGES FOR FUTURE PREMIUMS: The percentage allocation of the
invested portion of future premiums to the Divisions can be changed.
Percentages must be in whole numbers. To make changes, We must be notified
of the new percentages in a form satisfactory to Us. Any change will take
effect with respect to premiums received on or after receipt of such notice.
ALLOCATION OF CHARGES: All Expense and Insurance Charges deducted from the
Investment Value on a Processing Date may be allocated to the Charge
Deduction Division as shown in the Specifications. If no Charge Deduction
Division is elected, these deductions will be made from the Divisions in
proportion to the Investment Value in each Division.
If the amount of the Investment Value of the Charge Deduction Division is
less than required to cover all charges due on such date:
1. We will apply the Investment Value of the Charge Deduction Division to
the charges due and set the Investment Value in the Division to zero;
and
2. Any additional amount due will be allocated among the remaining
Divisions in the proportion that each Division's Investment Value bears
to the total Investment Value.
HL-GVL95(C) 14
<PAGE>
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION X - CASH VALUE OF BENEFITS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CASH VALUE OF BENEFITS
GENERAL: The insurance benefits under the Policy are provided through
investments made in Our separate account. A detailed description of the
method we use to compute values and benefits is on file with the state in
which this certificate is delivered. These values are not less than those of
that state.
SEPARATE ACCOUNTS: These accounts are separate from Our General Account and
any other separate accounts We may have. They support variable life
insurance benefits and are used for other purposes permitted by applicable
laws and regulations. We own the assets in the separate accounts. Assets
equal to the reserves and other liabilities of the accounts will not be
charged with liabilities from any other business We conduct. We may transfer
to Our General Account assets exceeding the reserves and other liabilities of
the separate accounts.
The separate accounts are governed by the laws of Our state of domicile.
Income and realized and unrealized gains or losses from assets in the
separate accounts are credited to or charged against the accounts without
regard to other income, gains or losses in Our other investment accounts.
CHANGES WITHIN A SEPARATE ACCOUNT: We may at times, make additional separate
account Divisions available to you. We may also eliminate Divisions, combine
two or more Divisions or substitute a new portfolio for the portfolio in
which a Division invests. We will obtain required regulatory approvals to
the affect the aforementioned changes, if any.
Subject to any required regulatory approvals, We have the right to transfer
assets of a separate account or of a Division to another separate account or
Division or combine the separate account with other separate accounts.
INVESTMENT VALUE IN EACH DIVISION: On the Coverage Date the Investment Value
is allocated to each Division as shown in the Specifications.
Thereafter, the Investment Value in each Division is:
1. The Investment Value of the Division at the end of the last Valuation
Period.
2. Multiply (1) by the Division's net rate of return for the current
Valuation Period.
3. Add (1) and (2).
4. Add to (3) any experience credits not paid in cash, any premium
payments (less any deductions shown in the Specifications) allocated to
the Division during the current Valuation Period.
5. Add or subtract reallocations to or from that Division during the current
Valuation Period.
6. Add or subtract from (5) any amounts allocated to the Division during the
current Valuation Period because of a Loan, Loan interest payment, Loan
repayment or partial withdrawal.
7. If a processing date occurs during the current Valuation Period, subtract
from (6) the amounts allocated to that Division for:
a. Administrative Expense Charges; and
b. Insurance Charges.
Amounts in (7) will be allocated to each Division in the proportion that
(6) bears to the Investment Value, unless a Charge Deductions Division
applies.
8. If the charges in (7) exceed the amount in (6), first calculate the Cash
Surrender Value for the amount of any overdue charges and then set the
Investment Value in each Division to zero.

SECTION X - CASH VALUE OF BENEFITS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CASH VALUE
OF BENEFITS
(CONTINUED)
CASH VALUE DEDUCTIONS:
COST OF INSURANCE: We will deduct the cost of insurance on each Processing
Date as follows;
1. We determine the death benefit as of the beginning of the Processing
Period, and discount it with interest for one month since deaths are
assumed to occur at the end of each month.
2. We subtract from (1) the Cash Value as of the beginning of the Processing
Period.
3. We determine the current cost of insurance rate based on the sex,
Attained Age, and underwriting class.
4. We multiply (2) by (3).
We may reduce or increase the cost of insurance rates from time to time. The
change will never be retroactive. The rates will never be more than the
guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rates shown in the Specifications.
OTHER DEDUCTIONS: Expense Charges are shown in the Specifications. The cost
of any benefits from riders is also shown in the Specifications.
CHANGES IN CHARGES: Changes in Expense Charges, Insurance Charges or
Separate Account Charges will be by class and based upon changes in future
expectations for such elements as: mortality, persistency, expenses and
taxes. Assumptions affecting these changes will be reviewed at least once
every five years in order to determine whether changes are necessary.
MEASUREMENT OF INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE FOR DIVISIONS: The investment
experience of a separate account Division is determined at the end of each
Division's Valuation Period. We use an index to measure changes in
experience during a Valuation Period. The index is set at $10 when the first
investments in a Division are made. The index for a current Valuation Period
equals the index for the last Valuation Period multiplied by the experience
factor for the current Valuation Period.
THE EXPERIENCE FACTOR:
SEPARATE ACCOUNT DIVISIONS: The experience factor for a Valuation Period
reflects the investment experience of the portfolio in which the Division
invests and the charges assessed to the Division. The factor is calculated
as follows:
1. Calculate the net asset value at the end of a current Valuation Period
of a Division's corresponding portfolio.
2. Add the amount of any dividend or capital gains distribution declared
during the current Valuation Period for such portfolio. Subtract a
charge for taxes, if any.
3. Divide (2) by the net asset value of the portfolio at the end of the
last Valuation Period.
4. Subtract the Separate Account Charges for each Division shown in the
Specifications for each day in the Valuation Period.
Calculations for Divisions investing in open ended investment management
companies are on a per unit basis. Calculations for Divisions investing in
mutual fund portfolios are made on a per share basis.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
INCONTESTABILITY: The Insured's coverage will not be contested after it has
been in effect during the Insured's lifetime for two years from the effective
date of coverage.
We can contest the validity of the coverage if any material misstatements are
made in the initial enrollment form or other document required to put
coverage in force. We can also contest any amount payable because of a
requested increase in Face Amount if any material misstatements are made in
any document required when the Face Amount was increased.
The amount of insurance attributable to a premium payment that increases the
Net Amount at Risk will be incontestable after it has been in effect during
the Insured's lifetime for two years from the date We receive and accept such
premium payment.
SUICIDE: If the Insured dies by suicide within two years from the Coverage
Date, Our liability will be limited to the return of the Cash Surrender
Value.
If the Insured dies by suicide within two years from the effective date of a
requested increase in Face Amount, Our liability for such increase will be
limited to the return of cash value deductions (described in the CASH VALUE
OF BENEFITS Section) made.
If the Insured dies by suicide more than two years after the Coverage Date
but within two years from the date We receive and accept a premium payment
which resulted in an increase in the Net Amount at Risk, Our liability with
respect to coverage attributable to such payment is limited to the return of
such cash value deductions (described in the CASH VALUE OF BENEFITS Section)
made for such increase in the Net Amount at Risk.
ASSIGNMENT: The benefits can be assigned by You subject to Our approval.
This does not change ownership and all rights are subject to the terms of the
assignment. To make or release an assignment, We must receive written notice
satisfactory to Us at Our Customer Service Center. We are not responsible
for the validity of any assignment.
OWNER: While the Insured is living, and while this Certificate is in effect
under the Policy, You may name a new Owner subject to Our approval. Written
notice of any change must be given to Us in a form satisfactory to Us. The
change will take effect the date the notice is signed. However, the change
will not affect any payment made or action taken by Us before We received the
notice of change at Our Customer Service Center.
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX: If the age or sex of the Insured is misstated
the amount of any benefits will be adjusted. The amount of the adjustment
will be:
1. The amount of insurance which the cost of insurance for the Processing
Period would have purchased using the cost of insurance for the correct
age and sex; less
2. The amount of insurance actually used in calculating the cost of
insurance for the Processing Period.
If the age is misstated in such a way that the Insured was not eligible for
coverage under the Policy, Our liability will be limited to a return of the
premiums paid less any partial withdrawals that have been made and any
outstanding Debt.
VALUE REPORTS: We will send You reports at the times agreed upon by You and
Us, but not less often than annually. The report will show the Face Amount,
death benefit, Cash Surrender Value and any Loan as of such date. The report
will also show the allocation of the Investment Value on such date and any
changes since the last report. The report will also include any other
information required by the insurance regulatory authority of the
jurisdiction in which the Policy is issued.

GENERAL
PROVISIONS
(CONTINUED)
POLICY CHANGES-APPLICABLE TAX LAW: To receive the tax treatment accorded
life insurance under Federal law, insurance under the Policy must qualify
initially and continue to qualify as life insurance under the Internal
Revenue Code or successor law. To maintain such qualification, We reserve
the right to return any premium payments or to reject any requests for change
in an Insured's coverage. Further, We reserve the right to make changes in
the Policy or its riders or to make distributions to the extent We deem
necessary to continue to qualify as life insurance. Any such changes will
apply to all Certificates that are affected. You will be given advance
written notice of such change.
PAYMENTS WE MAY DEFER: We may not be able to determine the value of the
assets of the separate account Divisions because:
1. the NYSE is closed for trading;
2. the SEC determines that a state of emergency exists; or

During such times, We may delay:
1. determination and payment of partial withdrawals, Cash Surrender Values
and Loan requests;
2. determination and payment of any death proceeds in excess of the Face
Amount; and
3. allocation changes of the Cash Value.
We may, at any time, defer payment of partial withdrawals, Cash Surrender
Values or Loan requests up to 7 business days of a written request for
amounts in the Divisions. For Divisions which are not valued on each
business day, We may defer until the next Valuation Day:
1. determination and payment of partial withdrawals, Cash Surrender
Values and Loans;
2. determination and payment of any death proceeds in excess of the Face
Amount; and
3. reallocation of the Cash Value.
CLAIMS OF CREDITORS: Proceeds described in this Certificate will be free

instructions. Proceeds are usually paid within 7 business days after receipt
of due proof of death and all other requirements.

Washington, D.C. 20549
Dear Sir:
This opinion is furnished in connection with the Form S-6 Registration Statement
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), of a certain
group flexible premium variable life insurance policy (the "Policy") that will
be offered and sold by Hartford Life Insurance Company and certain units of
interest to be issued in connection with the Policy.
The hypothetical illustrations of the Policy used in the Form S-6 Registration
Statement accurately reflect reasonable estimates of projected performance of
the Policy under the stipulated rates of investment return, the contractual
