SUMMARY OF BENEFITS
AND RISKS
BENEFITS OF YOUR POLICY
FLEXIBILITY -- We designed the Policy to be flexible to meet your specific
life insurance needs. You have the flexibility to choose death benefit options,
investment options, and premiums you pay.
DEATH BENEFIT -- We will pay a death benefit to your beneficiary if the
Insured dies while the Certificate is in force. You select one of two death
benefit options. These options are:
1. Option A -- Under Option A the death benefit is equal to the larger of:
- The Face Amount; and
- The Variable Insurance Amount.
2. Option B -- Under Option B the death benefit is equal to the larger of:
- The Face Amount plus the Cash Value; and
- The Variable Insurance Amount.
We reduce the death benefit by any money you owe us, such as outstanding
Loans or Loan interest. You may change your death benefit option under certain
circumstances. You may also increase or decrease the Face Amount on your
Certificate under certain circumstances.
INVESTMENT OPTIONS -- You may invest in up to 20 different Investment
Divisions, from a choice of 25 Investment Divisions available under your
Certificate. You may transfer money among the Investment Divisions, subject to
restrictions.
PREMIUM PAYMENTS -- You have the flexibility to choose when and in what
amounts you pay premiums.
RIGHT TO EXAMINE YOUR CERTIFICATE -- For 10 days after you receive your
policy, you may cancel it without paying a sales charge. Some states provide a
longer examination period.
WITHDRAWALS -- You may withdraw all or part of amounts available under your
Certificate, subject to certain limitations.
LOANS -- You may take a Loan under the Certificate. The Certificate secures
the Loan.
PAYMENT OPTIONS -- Your beneficiary may choose to receive the proceeds due
under the Certificate,
- - in a lump sum; or
- - over a period of time by using one of several payment options.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING -- You may elect to allocate your Net Premiums among
the Investment Divisions using the dollar cost averaging option program. The
main objective of this program is to minimize the impact of short-term price
fluctuations to allow you to take advantage of market fluctuations.
ASSET REBALANCING -- You may elect to have us automatically reallocate
Investment Value periodically in order to maintain a particular percentage
allocation among the Investment Divisions that you selected ("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.
RISKS OF YOUR POLICY
INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE -- The value of your Certificate will fluctuate with
the performance of its Investment Divisions. Your investment options may decline
in value, or they may not perform to your expectations. We do not guarantee your
Investment Value in the Investment Divisions.
TERMINATION --
- - CERTIFICATE:
Your Certificate could terminate if the Cash Surrender Value becomes too low
to pay the charges due under the Certificate. If this occurs, Hartford will
notify you in writing. You will then have sixty-one (61) days to pay additional
amounts to prevent the Certificate from terminating.
- - POLICY:
Hartford or the employer may terminate participation in the Policy. The
party terminating the Policy must provide you with a notice of the termination,
at your last known address, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date of
termination.
PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL LIMITATIONS -- We limit you to twelve (12) partial
withdrawals per Coverage Year. These withdrawals will reduce your Cash Surrender
Value, may reduce your death benefit, and may be subject to a processing charge.
TRANSFER LIMITATIONS -- We reserve the right to limit the size of transfers
and remaining balances, and to limit the number and frequency of transfers among
the Investment Divisions.
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 5
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOANS -- Taking a Loan under your Certificate may increase the risk that
your Certificate will lapse, may have a permanent effect on your Investment
Value, and may reduce the Death Proceeds.
ADVERSE TAX CONSEQUENCES -- You may be subject to income tax if you receive
any Loans, withdrawals or other amounts under the Certificate. You may also be
subject to a 10% penalty tax.

ICMG REGISTERED VARIABLE LIFE
SEPARATE ACCOUNT A
The insurance benefits under the Group Policies are provided through
investments made in ICMG Registered Variable Life Separate Account A (the
"Separate Account"). We established the Separate Account 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 Securities and Exchange Commission
("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.
Under Connecticut law, the assets of the Separate Account are held
exclusively for the benefit of owners and persons entitled to payments under the
Policies and the Certificates and owners of any other policies which may be
available through the Separate Account. We own the assets of the Separate
Account. The obligations under the Policies and the Certificates are our
obligations. These assets are held separately from our other assets. 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 our other income, gains or losses (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 we maintain.
The Separate Account has 25 Investment Divisions dedicated to the Policies.
Each of these Investment Divisions invests solely in a corresponding Portfolio
of the Funds. You choose the Investment Divisions that meet your investment
style. We may establish additional Investment Divisions at our discretion. The
Separate Account may include other Investment Divisions that will not be
available under the Policy.
THE FUNDS
The Funds sell shares of the Portfolios to the Separate Account. The
Portfolios are set up exclusively for variable annuity and variable life
insurance products. The Portfolios are not the same mutual Funds that you buy
through your stockbroker or through a retail mutual Fund. However, they may have
similar investment strategies and the same portfolio managers as retail mutual
Funds.
We do not guarantee the investment results of any of the Portfolios. Since
each Portfolio has different investment objectives, each is subject to different
risks. The prospectuses for the Funds and the Funds' Statement of Additional
Information describe these risks and the Portfolio's expenses. We have included
the Funds' prospectuses in this Prospectus.
The following Portfolios are available under your Certificate:
ALGER AMERICAN SMALL CAPITALIZATION PORTFOLIO -- Alger American Small
Capitalization Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation. It focuses on
small, fast-growing companies that offer innovative products, services or

companies. A small capitalization company is one that has a market
capitalization within the range of the Russell 2000 Growth Index or the S&P
SmallCap 600 Index.
ALGER AMERICAN GROWTH PORTFOLIO -- Alger American Growth Portfolio seeks
long-term capital appreciation. It focuses on growing companies that generally
have broad product lines, markets, financial resources and depth of management.

market capitalization of $1 billion or greater.

in lower quality debt securities.
VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND OVERSEAS PORTFOLIO -- Variable Insurance

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

"High Yield -- High Risk Debt Securities."

its objective. Under normal market conditions, 65% of the Portfolio's, assets
will be invested in bonds, debentures and other debt instruments. The Portfolio

currencies and may invest without limitation in U.S. dollar-denominated

Board of Trustees for the Neuberger Berman Advisers Management Trust Funds
(collectively, the "Boards") intend to monitor events so that they may identify
any material conflicts between the policy owners and determine what action, if
any, they should take. If the Boards conclude that they should establish
separate Funds for variable annuity and variable life insurance separate
accounts, we will bear the expense.
VOTING RIGHTS -- We will notify you of shareholder's meetings of the Funds
purchased by those Investment Divisions you have invested in. We will send you
proxy materials and instructions for you to vote the shares held for your
benefit by those Investment Divisions. We will arrange for the handling and
tallying of proxies received from you or other policy owners. If you give no
instructions, we will vote those shares in the same proportion as shares for
which we received instructions.
If any federal securities laws or regulations, or their present
interpretation, change to permit us to vote Fund shares on our own, we may
decide to do so. You may attend any shareholder meeting at which shares held for
your Policy may be voted. After we begin to make payouts to you, the number of
votes you have will increase.
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
DEDUCTIONS FROM PREMIUM
We deduct a percentage of your premium payment for a front-end sales load, a
premium tax charge and the deferred acquisition cost ("DAC") tax charge before
we allocate it to the Investment Divisions. The amount of each premium we
allocate to the Investment Divisions is your net premium ("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.
PREMIUM TAX CHARGE -- We deduct a tax charge from each premium you pay. The
premium tax charge covers taxes assessed against us by a state and/or other
governmental entity. The range of this charge, generally, is between 0% and 4%.
DAC TAX CHARGE -- We deduct 1.25% of each premium to cover a federal premium
tax assessed against us. This charge is reasonable in relation to our federal
income tax burden, under Section 848 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ("the
Code"), resulting from the receipt of premiums. We will adjust this charge based
on changes in the applicable tax law.
DEDUCTIONS FROM INVESTMENT VALUE
MONTHLY DEDUCTION AMOUNT -- Each month we will deduct an amount from your
Investment Value to pay for the benefits provided under the Certificate. We call
this amount the Monthly Deduction Amount and it equals the sum of:
(a) the administrative expense charge;
(b) the charges for cost of insurance;
(c) the charges for additional benefits provided by rider, if any.
The Monthly Deduction Amount will vary from month to month.
Following is an explanation of the administrative expense charge and the
charges for cost of insurance and rider benefits.
MONTHLY ADMINISTRATIVE FEE -- We will assess a monthly administrative charge
to compensate us for administrative costs in connection with the Certificates.
We will initially charge $5 per Coverage Month and we guarantee that the charge
will never exceed $10.00 per Coverage Month.
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 minus the Cash Value on the
date we calculate this charge.
The purpose of the cost of insurance charge is to cover our anticipated
mortality costs. The current cost of insurance rates for standard risks will not
exceed those based on the 1980 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Mortality Table
(ANB), Male or Female, age nearest birthday. We will charge substandard risks a
higher cost of insurance rate. The cost of insurance rates for substandard risks
will not exceed rates based on a multiple of the 1980 Commissioners Standard
Ordinary Mortality Table (ANB), Male or Female, age nearest birthday. In
addition, the use of simplified underwriting or guaranteed issue procedures,
rather than medical underwriting, may result in a higher cost of insurance
charge for some individuals than if medical underwriting procedures were used.
We will make any changes in the cost of insurance uniformly for all insureds
of the same issue ages, sexes, risk classes and whose coverage has been in-force
for the same
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 11
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
length of time. No change in insurance class or cost will occur as a result of
the deterioration of the Insured's health.
The rate class of an Insured affects the cost of insurance rate. We and the
employer will agree on the number of rate classes and characteristics of each
rate class. The rate classes may vary by smokers and nonsmokers, active and
retired status, and/or any other nondiscriminatory classes agreed to by the
employer.
RIDER CHARGE -- If the Certificate includes riders, we deduct a charge from
the Investment Value on each Processing Date. We specify the applicable charge
on the rider. This charge is to compensate us for the anticipated cost of
providing the rider benefits.
For a description of the riders available, see "Supplemental Benefits."
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE -- For assuming mortality and expense
risks under the Policy, we deduct a daily charge of .001781% which is equal to
.65% per year of the value of each Investment Division's assets in all Coverage
Years. We may pay an expense credit reflecting a reduction in the mortality and
expense risk rate. We will pay these credits at the end of each Coverage Month
and will use them to purchase additional Accumulation Units at the end of that
Coverage Month.
Currently, in Coverage Years 1 through 10, we will pay no expense credit.
The result is a net annual mortality and expense risk rate of .65%. In Coverage
Years 11 and later we will pay an expense credit of .15%. The result is a net
annual mortality and expense risk rate of .50%.
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 we assume is that the actual cost of insurance charges
specified in the Certificate will be insufficient to meet actual claims. The
expense risk we assume is that expenses we incur for issuing and administering
the Certificates will exceed the administrative charges we deducted from
Investment Value.
If these charges are insufficient to cover actual costs and assumed risks,
the loss will fall on us. However, if the charge proves more than sufficient, we
will add any excess to our surplus.
YOUR CERTIFICATE
OWNERSHIP RIGHTS -- As long as your Certificate is in force, you may
exercise all rights under the Certificate while the Insured is alive and you
have not named an irrevocable beneficiary.
BENEFICIARY -- You name the beneficiary in your enrollment form for the
Certificate. You may change the beneficiary (unless irrevocably named) while the
Insured is alive by notifying us, in writing. If no beneficiary is living when
the Insured dies, we will pay the Death Proceeds to you if living; or,
otherwise, to your estate.
ASSIGNMENT -- You may assign your rights under the Certificate. Until you
notify us in writing, no assignment is effective against us. We are not
responsible for the validity of any assignment.
STATEMENTS -- We will send you a statement at least once each year, showing:
(a) the Certificate's current Cash Value, Cash Surrender Value and Face Amount;
(b) the premiums paid, Monthly Deduction Amounts and any Loans since your last
statement;
(c) the amount of any outstanding Debt;
(d) any notifications required by the provisions of your Certificate; and
(e) any other information required by the Insurance Department of the state
where we delivered your Certificate.
ISSUANCE OF YOUR CERTIFICATE -- To purchase a Certificate you must submit an
enrollment form to our Customer Service Center. The specific form you complete
will depend on the underwriting classification and plan design of the Policy.
Generally, we will only issue a Certificate on the lives of Insureds between the
ages of 20 and 79 who supply evidence of insurability satisfactory to us. In
addition, we will not issue a Certificate with a Face Amount of less than the
minimum Face Amount. Acceptance is subject to our underwriting rules and we
reserve the right to reject an enrollment form for any reason. If we accept your
enrollment form, your Certificate will become effective on the Coverage Date
only after we receive all outstanding delivery requirements and the initial
premium payment shown in your Certificate.
In the event you are exchanging an existing contract(s) for a new
Certificate under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Coverage Date
will be the date that you make the 1035 exchange. You make this 1035 exchange by
assigning the existing contract(s) to us and completing an enrollment form. Upon
receipt of the assignment form, we will surrender the existing contract(s) for
its cash surrender value. We will apply the surrender proceeds we receive as
premium to the Certificate. During the time between the Coverage Date and the
date we receive the cash surrender value of the existing contract(s) or a
premium payment, there will be no gap in coverage. We will make charges and
<PAGE>

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
deductions (other than those of the Portfolios) for this period; however, you
will not experience investment returns.
RIGHT TO EXAMINE THE CERTIFICATE -- You have a limited right to return your
Certificate for cancellation. You may deliver or mail the Certificate to us or
to the agent who sold you the Certificate within ten (10) calendar days after
delivery of the Certificate to you. Some states provide for a longer period.
In the event you return your Certificate, we will return to you within seven
(7) days of our receipt of the Certificate, either:
(i) the total amount of premiums; or
(ii) the Cash Value plus charges deducted under the Certificate.
The amount we return depends upon the state we issued your Certificate in.
PREMIUMS
PREMIUM PAYMENT FLEXIBILITY -- You have considerable flexibility as to when,
in what amounts and what level of premiums, within a range determined by us, you
pay under the Certificate. You choose a premium once you have determined the
level and pattern of the death benefit.
Your Certificate specifies the minimum initial premium amount you must pay
on the Coverage Date. You may pay additional premiums at any time, subject to
the premium limitations set by the Internal Revenue Code. For details on these
premium limitations see, "Premium Limitation." You have the right to pay
additional premiums of at least $100.00 at any time, unless otherwise agreed to
by us.
Your Certificate may lapse if the value of your Certificate becomes
insufficient to cover the Monthly Deduction Amounts. If this happens you may pay
additional premiums in order to prevent your Certificate from terminating. For
details see, "Lapse and Reinstatement."
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUM PAYMENTS -- During the right to examine period, we
allocate your initial premium payment in accordance with state law requirements.
If you choose to cancel your Certificate, some states require the return of your
initial premium, while others require the return of the Certificate's Cash
Value.
- - STATE OF ISSUE REQUIRES RETURN OF INITIAL PREMIUM
If the state of issue of your Certificate requires that we return your
initial premium, we will, when we issue your Certificate and until the end of
the right to examine period, allocate your initial Net Premium to the Hartford
Money Market Investment Division. Upon the expiration of the right to examine
period, we will, at a later date, invest the initial Net Premium according to
your initial allocation instructions. However, any accrued interest will remain
in the Hartford Money Market Investment Division if you selected it as an
initial allocation option. This later date is the later of:
1. ten (10) calendar days after we receive the Initial Premium; and
2. the date we receive the final requirements to put the Certificate in force.
We will allocate any additional premiums received prior to this later date
to the Hartford Money Market Investment Division.
- - STATE OF ISSUE REQUIRES RETURN OF CERTIFICATE'S CASH VALUE
If the state of issue of your Certificate requires that we return the
Certificate's Cash Value, we will allocate the initial Net Premium among your
chosen Investment Divisions. In this case you will bear full investment risk for
any amounts we allocate to the Investment Division during the right to examine
period. This automatic immediate investment feature only applies if specified in
your Certificate. Please check with your agent to determine the status of your
Certificate.
You may change the Net Premium allocation if you notify us in writing.
Portions you allocate to the Investment Divisions must be whole percentages of
5% or more. We will allocate subsequent Net Premiums 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; and
- - If the asset rebalancing option is in effect, we will allocate Net Premiums
accordingly, until you terminate this option. (See "Transfers Among Investment
Divisions -- Asset Rebalancing.")
You will receive several different types of notification that explain what
your current premium allocation is. The Certificate shows the initial allocation
you chose on the enrollment form. In addition, we will send you written
confirmation, after we receive your premium payment, that shows you how we
allocated your premium. A Certificate's annual statement will also summarize
your current premium allocation.
ACCUMULATION UNITS -- We use Net Premiums allocated to the Investment
Divisions to credit Accumulation Units under the Certificates.
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 13
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We determine 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) as follows:
1. Multiply the Net Premium by the appropriate allocation percentage to
determine the portion we will invest in the Investment Division; then
2. Divide each portion to be invested in an Investment Division by the
Accumulation Unit value of that particular Investment Division we computed
following the receipt of the payment.
Deductions made for the monthly deduction amount on each Processing Date
will reduce the number of Accumulation Units under the Certificate. (See
"Deductions from Investment Value -- Monthly Deduction Amount.")
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUES -- The Accumulation Unit value for each Investment
Division will vary daily to reflect the investment experience and charges of the
applicable Portfolio, as well as the daily deduction for mortality and expense
risks. We will determine the Accumulation Unit value 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 Us.
PREMIUM LIMITATION -- If we receive premiums that 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 any applicable interest no later than sixty
(60) days after the end of a Coverage Year.
We will accept a premium payment that results in an increase in the death
benefit greater than the amount of the premium, only after we approve evidence
of insurability.
DEATH BENEFITS AND
POLICY VALUES
VALUES UNDER THE CERTIFICATE
CASH SURRENDER VALUE -- 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 Surrender Value. The Cash Value equals the value in the
Investment Divisions plus the Loan Account Value.
INVESTMENT 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."
DEATH BENEFITS
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 "Taxes -- Income Taxation of Certificate
Benefits." Each Certificate must qualify under either the GPT or the CVAT. Prior
to issue, you choose the procedure under which a Certificate will qualify. Once
you choose either the GPT or the CVAT 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. This is necessary in order for
the Certificate to meet the current federal tax definition of life insurance,
which places limitations on the amount of premiums that may be paid and the Cash
Values that can accumulate relative to the death benefit. The factors used to
<PAGE>
14 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
determine the Variable Insurance Amount depend on the testing procedure chosen
and are in the Certificate.
Under the GPT, there is also a maximum amount of premium that may be paid
with respect to each Certificate.
Use of the CVAT can be advantageous if you intend to maximize the total
amount of premiums paid under a Certificate. An offsetting consideration,
however, is that the factors we use to determine the Variable Insurance Amount
are higher under the CVAT, which can result in a higher death benefit over time
and a higher total cost of insurance.
DEATH BENEFITS 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 will be the Death Proceeds.
OPTION CHANGE -- While the Certificate is in force, you may change the death
benefit option you selected. You must make your request to change your death
benefit option in writing and during the lifetime of the Insured.
CHANGE FROM OPTION A TO OPTION B
If the change is from Death Benefit Option A to Death Benefit Option B, the
Insured must provide us with satisfactory evidence of insurability. 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.
CHANGE FROM OPTION B TO OPTION A
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 our approval of the change. We
will notify you when we have made the change.
PAYMENT OPTIONS -- We may pay the Death Proceeds under the Certificate in a
lump sum or we may apply the proceeds to one of our payment options. The minimum
amount that may be placed under a payment option is $5,000 unless we consent to
a lesser amount. Once payments under payment options 2, 3 or 4 begin, you may
not surrender the Certificate to receive a lump sum settlement in place of the
life insurance payments. The following options are available under the
Certificate:
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, we may make payments less often. The first, second and third payment
options are based on a net investment rate of 3% per annum. We may, however,
from time to time, at our discretion if mortality appears more favorable and
interest rates justify, apply other tables that will result in higher monthly
payments for each $1,000 applied under one or more of the four payment options.
We may agree to other arrangements for income payments.
INCREASES AND DECREASES IN FACE AMOUNT -- The minimum Face Amount of the
Certificate is $50,000. At any time after purchasing a Certificate, you may
request a change in the Face Amount by making a written request to us at our
Customer Service Center.
You must request an increase in the Face Amount in writing to us. All
requests are subject to evidence of insurability satisfactory to us and subject
to our current rules. Any increase we approve will be effective on the
Processing Date following the date we approve the request. The Monthly
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 15
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. We will apply decreases:
(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 coverage maturity
date ("Maturity Date"), we will pay you the Cash Surrender Value on the date you
surrender the Certificate. However, on the Maturity Date, the Certificate will
terminate and we will have no further obligations under the Certificate.
MAKING WITHDRAWALS FROM
THE CERTIFICATE
SURRENDER -- At any time prior to the Maturity Date, provided the
Certificate is in effect and has a Cash Surrender Value, you 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 written
request for surrender to us. We will determine the Cash Surrender Value as of
the Valuation Day we receive the request, in a written form satisfactory to us,
at our Customer Service Center, or the date that you request, whichever is
later.
The Cash Surrender Value is the net amount available upon surrender of the
Certificate and equals the Cash Value, minus Debt, minus any charges accrued but
not yet deducted. We will terminate the Certificate on the date of receipt of
the written request, or the date you request the surrender to be effective,
whichever is later.
We may pay the Cash Surrender Value in cash or you may allocate it to any
other payment option agreed upon by us.
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS -- At any time before the Maturity Date, and subject to
our rules then in effect, we allow twelve (12) partial withdrawals per Coverage
Year without charge. However, we allow only one (1) partial withdrawal 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, minus outstanding
Debt.
We currently impose a charge for processing partial withdrawals in excess of
twelve (12) per Coverage Year. This charge is the lesser of:
- - 2% of the amount withdrawn; and
- - $25.00.
A partial withdrawal will reduce the Cash Surrender Value, Cash Value and
Investment Value. Any partial withdrawal will permanently affect the Cash
Surrender Value and may permanently affect the death benefit payable. If Death
Benefit Option A is in effect, we reduce the Face Amount by the amount of the
partial withdrawal. Unless specified otherwise, we will deduct partial
withdrawals on a Pro Rata Basis from the Investment Divisions. A Pro Rata Basis
is an allocation method based on the proportion of the Investment Value in each
Investment Division. You must submit requests for partial withdrawals to us in
writing. The effective date of a partial withdrawal will be the Valuation Day
closest to the date that we receive the request, in writing, at our Customer
Service Center. If your Certificate is deemed to be a modified endowment
contract, a 10% penalty tax may be imposed on income distributed before the
insured attains age 59 1/2. See "Taxes -- Modified Endowment Contracts."
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 up to twelve (12) times per Coverage Year without charge. 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. You must make transfer
requests in writing on a form that we approve or by telephone in accordance with
established procedures. Our rules then in effect will limit the amounts that you
may transfer. The amounts that you transfer must be in whole percentages of 5%
or more, unless otherwise agreed to by us. Currently, the minimum value of
Accumulation Units that you may transfer from one Investment Division to another
is the lesser of:
- - $500; and
- - 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,
we will transfer the entire remaining amount.
<PAGE>
16 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Currently there are no restrictions on transfers other than those described
in this Prospectus. We reserve 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, we will reduce the number of Accumulation Units that we
credit to that Investment Division. We will determine the reduction by dividing:
1. the amount transferred by,
2. the Accumulation Unit value for that Investment Division on the Valuation
Day we receive your written request for transfer.
In the event of a transfer to an Investment Division, we will increase the
number of Accumulation Units credited. The increase will equal:
1. the amount transferred divided by,
2. the Accumulation Unit value for that Investment Division determined on the
Valuation Day we receive your written request.
ASSET REBALANCING -- Subject to our current rules, you may authorize us to
automatically reallocate Investment Value periodically in order to maintain a
particular percentage allocation among the Investment Divisions that you have
selected. This reallocation is know as 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, we must receive a written request from you. If
you elect Asset Rebalancing, you must include all Investment Value in the
automatic reallocation. The percentages that you select under Asset Rebalancing
will override any prior percentage allocations that you have chosen and we will
allocate all future Net Premiums accordingly. We will count all transfers made
pursuant to Asset Rebalancing on the same day as one (1) transfer toward the
twelve (12) transfers per Coverage Year that we permit without charge. Once
elected, you may instruct us, in a written form satisfactory to us, at any time
to terminate the option. In addition, we will terminate your participation in
Asset Rebalancing if you make any transfer outside of Asset Rebalancing.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING -- You may elect to allocate your Net Premiums among
the Investment Divisions under the dollar cost averaging option program ("DCA
Program"). If you choose to participate in the DCA Program, we will deposit your
Net Premiums into the Hartford Money Market Investment Division. Each month, we
will withdraw amounts from that Division and allocate them to the other
Investment Divisions in accordance with your allocation instructions. The
transfer date will be the monthly anniversary of your first transfer under your
initial DCA election. We will make the first transfer within five (5) business
days after we receive your initial election, either in writing or by telephone,
subject to the telephone transfer procedures described in this Prospectus.
We will allocate your Net Premium to the Investment Divisions that you
specify, in the proportions that you specify. If, on any transfer date, your
Investment Value that we have allocated to the Hartford Money Market Investment
Division is less than the amount you have elected to transfer, we will terminate
your participation in the DCA Program. Any transfers made in connection with the
DCA Program must be whole percentages of 5% or more, unless we otherwise agree.
In addition, transfers made under the DCA Program count toward the twelve (12)
transfers per coverage year that we permit you without charge.
You may also cancel your DCA election by notifying us in writing.
The main objective of the DCA Program is to minimize the impact of
short-term price fluctuations. The DCA Program allows you to take advantage of
market fluctuations. Since we transfer the same dollar amount to other
Investment Divisions at set intervals, the DCA Program allows you to purchase
more Accumulation Units when prices are low and fewer Accumulation Units when
prices are high. Therefore, you may achieve a lower average cost per
Accumulation Unit over the long-term. However, it is important to understand
that a DCA Program does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a
declining market. If you choose to participate in the DCA Program you should
have the financial ability to continue making investments through periods of low
price levels.
You cannot make transfers under Asset Rebalancing and participate in the DCA
Program at the same time.
PROCEDURES FOR TELEPHONE TRANSFERS -- You may make telephone transfers in
two ways. You may directly contact a customer service representative. You 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. If you
intend to conduct telephone transfers through the VRU, you will be asked to
complete a Telephone Authorization Form.
We 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 you. Proper entry of the PIN is required
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 17
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 us through a written letter. Moreover, all
VRU transactions will be assigned a unique confirmation number which will become
part of the Certificate's history. We are not liable for any loss, cost or
expense for action on telephone instructions which are believed to be genuine in
accordance with these procedures.
PROCESSING OF TRANSACTIONS -- Generally, we process your transactions only
on a Valuation Day. We will process requests that we receive on a Valuation Day
before the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") (generally
4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on that same day, except as otherwise indicated in this
Prospectus. We will process requests that we receive after the close of the NYSE
as of the next Valuation Day.
LOANS
As long as the Certificate is in effect, you may obtain without the consent
of the beneficiary (provided the designation of beneficiary is not irrevocable),
a cash Loan from us. The maximum Loan amount is equal to the sum of the Cash
Surrender Value plus outstanding Debt, multiplied by .90, minus outstanding
Debt.
We will transfer the amount of each Loan on a Pro Rata Basis from each of
the Investment Divisions (unless you specify otherwise) to the Loan Account. We
use the Loan Account 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. We will transfer the
difference between the value of the Loan Account and any outstanding Debt from
the Investment Divisions to the Loan Account on each Certificate Anniversary.
Interest payments are due as shown in the Certificate. If you do not pay
interest within five (5) days of its due date, we will add it 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 (2) months prior to
the date on which we determine the adjustable loan interest rate.
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.
CREDITED INTEREST -- We will credit interest on amounts in the Loan Account
for Coverage Years 1 through 10 at a rate equal to the adjustable loan interest
rate, minus 1%. We will credit interest on amounts in the Loan Account for
Coverage Years 11 and later at a rate equal to the adjustable loan interest
rate, minus .20%.
LOAN REPAYMENTS -- You can repay any part of or the entire Loan at any time.
We will allocate the amount of the Loan repayment to your chosen Investment
Divisions on a Pro Rata Basis, determined as of the date of the Loan repayment.
Unless specified otherwise, we will treat any additional premium payments that
we receive during the period when a Loan is outstanding as Loan repayments.
TERMINATION DUE TO EXCESSIVE DEBT -- If total outstanding Debt 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 you do not make sufficient Loan repayment 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, your 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,
your 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.
LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT
LAPSE AND GRACE PERIOD -- We provide a sixty-one (61) calendar day grace
period, from the date we mail you notice that the Cash Surrender Value is
insufficient to pay the charges due under the Certificate. Unless you have given
us written notice of termination in advance of the date of termination of the
Certificate, insurance will continue in force during this period. You will be
liable to us for all unpaid charges due under the Certificate for the period
that the Certificate remains in force.
In the event that total outstanding Debt 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 you do not make sufficient Loan repayment by
<PAGE>
18 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the end of this 31-day period, the Certificate will end without value.
REINSTATEMENT -- Prior to the death of the Insured, and unless (i) the
Policy is terminated or (ii) the Certificate has been surrendered for cash, we
may reinstate the Certificate prior to the Maturity Date, provided:
(a) you make your request within three (3) years of the date of lapse. Some
states provide a longer period; and
(b) you submit satisfactory evidence of insurability to us.
We will not require evidence of insurability, if you reinstate your
Certificate within one (1) month after the end of the 61-calendar day grace
period, provided 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, you must repay or carry over to the reinstated
certificate any Debt at the time of termination.
TERMINATION OF POLICY
The employer or we may terminate participation in the Policy. 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, we will not accept
any new enrollment forms for new Insureds on or after the date that we receive
or send notice of discontinuance, whichever is applicable. In addition, we will
not issue any new Certificates. If you discontinue premium payments, we will
continue insurance coverage under the Certificate as long as the Cash Surrender
Value is sufficient to cover the charges due. We will not continue the coverage
under the Certificate beyond attained age 100. Attained age means the Insured's
age on the birthday nearest to the Coverage Date plus the period since the
Coverage Date. In addition, we will not continue any optional benefit rider
beyond the Certificate's date of termination. If the 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
Policy, provided you have not canceled or surrendered it, subject to our
qualifications then in effect. You will then pay Certificate premiums directly
to us.
CONTRACT LIMITATIONS
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS -- We limit you to twelve (12) partial withdrawals per
Coverage Year.
TRANSFERS OF ACCOUNT VALUE -- We reserve the right to limit the size of
transfers and remaining balances and to limit the number and frequency of
transfers among the Investment Divisions.
FACE AMOUNT INCREASES OR DECREASES -- We reserve the right to limit the
number of Face Amount increases or decreases made under the Certificate to no
more than one (1) in any twelve (12) month period.
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 New York Stock Exchange is closed for some reason
other than a regular holiday or Weekend, trading is restricted by the Securities
and Exchange Commission ("SEC") or the SEC declares that an emergency exists.
DEFERRAL OF PAYMENTS -- We may defer payment of any Cash Surrender Values,
withdrawals and loan amounts that are not attributable to the Investment
Divisions for up to six (6) months from the date of the request. If we defer
payment for more than thirty (30) days, we will pay you interest.
CHANGES TO CONTRACT OR
SEPARATE ACCOUNT
MODIFICATION OF POLICY -- The only way we may modify the policy is by a
written agreement signed by our President, or one of our Vice Presidents,
Secretaries, or Assistant Secretaries.
SUBSTITUTION OF FUNDS -- We reserve the right to substitute the shares of
any other registered investment company for the shares of any Fund already
purchased or to be purchased in the future by the Separate Account provided that
the substitution has been approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
CHANGE IN OPERATION OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT -- We may modify the operation
of the Separate Account to the extent permitted by law, including deregistration
under the securities laws.
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 19
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEPARATE ACCOUNT TAXES -- Currently, we do not make a charge to the Separate
Account for federal, state and local taxes that may be allocable to the Separate
Account. In the future, we may begin to charge the Separate Account for federal,
state and local taxes if the applicable federal, state or local tax laws that
impose tax on us and/or the Separate Account change. We may make charges for
other taxes that are imposed on the Separate Account.
SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS
The following supplemental benefit may in the future be included in a
Certificate, subject to our current restrictions and limitations.
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 "Taxes -- Income
Taxation of Certificate Benefits."
OTHER MATTERS
REDUCED CHARGES FOR ELIGIBLE GROUPS -- We may reduce certain of the charges
and deductions described above for Policies issued in connection with a specific
plan, in accordance with our current internal policies as of the date we approve
the application for a policy. To qualify for such a reduction, a plan must
satisfy certain criteria, e.g., as to size of the plan, expected number of
participants and anticipated premium payment from the plan. Generally, the sales
contacts and effort, administrative costs and mortality cost per policy vary,
based on such factors as the size of the plan, the purposes for which policies
are purchased and certain characteristics of the plan's members. The amount of
reduction and the criteria for qualification will be reflected in the reduced
sales effort and administrative costs resulting from, and the different
mortality experience expected as a result of, sales to qualifying plans. We 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 policy owners invested
in the Separate Account.
OUR RIGHTS -- We reserve the right to take certain actions in connection
with our operations and the operations of the Separate Account. We will take
these actions in accordance with applicable laws (including obtaining any
required approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission). If necessary, we
will seek your approval.
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 your voting rights or of any other persons who
have voting rights as to the Separate Account.
We also reserve the right to change the name of the Separate Account.
LIMIT ON RIGHT TO CONTEST -- We may not contest the validity of the
Certificate after it has been in effect during the Insured's lifetime for two
(2) years from the Issue Date. If we reinstate the Certificate, the 2-year
period is measured from the date of reinstatement. Any increase in the Face
Amount as a result of a premium payment is contestable for 2 years from its
effective date. In addition, if the Insured commits suicide in the 2-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, we will appropriately adjust the amount of all benefits
payable, as specified in the Certificate.
ASSIGNMENT -- The Certificate may be assigned as collateral for a loan or
other obligation. We are not responsible for any payment made or action taken
before receipt of written notice of such assignment. You must file proof of
interest with any claim under a collateral assignment.
DIVIDENDS -- No dividends will be paid under the Certificates.
YEAR 2000
IN GENERAL -- The Year 2000 issue relates to the ability or inability of
computer hardware, software and other information technology (IT) systems, as
well as non-IT systems, such as equipment and machinery with imbedded chips and
microprocessors, to properly process information and data containing or related
to dates beginning with the year 2000 and beyond. The Year 2000 issue exists
because, historically, many IT and non-IT systems that are in use today were
developed years ago when a year was identified using a two-
<PAGE>
20 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
digit date field rather than a four-digit date field. As information and data
containing or related to the century date are introduced to date sensitive
systems, these systems may recognize the year 2000 as "1900", or not at all,
which may result in systems processing information incorrectly. This, in turn,
may significantly and adversely affect the integrity and reliability of
information databases of IT systems, may cause the malfunctioning of certain
non-IT systems, and may result in a wide variety of adverse consequences to a
company. In addition, Year 2000 problems that occur with third parties with
which a company does business, such as suppliers, computer vendors, distributors
and others, may also adversely affect any given company.
The integrity and reliability of Hartford's IT systems, as well as the
reliability of its non-IT systems, are integral aspects of Hartford's business.
Hartford issues insurance policies, annuities, mutual funds and other financial
products to individual and business customers, nearly all of which contain date
sensitive data, such as policy expiration dates, birth dates and premium payment
dates. In addition, various IT systems support communications and other systems
that integrate Hartford's various business segments and field offices. Hartford
also has business relationships with numerous third parties that affect
virtually all aspects of Hartford's business, including, without limitation,
suppliers, computer hardware and software vendors, insurance agents and brokers,
securities broker-dealers and other distributors of financial products, many of
which provide date sensitive data to Hartford, and whose operations are
important to Hartford's business.
INTERNAL YEAR 2000 EFFORTS AND TIMETABLE -- Beginning in 1990, Hartford
began working on making its IT systems Year 2000 ready, either through
installing new programs or replacing systems. Since January 1998, Hartford's
Year 2000 efforts have focused on the remaining Year 2000 issues related to IT
and non-IT systems in all of Hartford's business segments. These Year 2000
efforts include the following five main initiatives: (1) identifying and
assessing Year 2000 issues; (2) taking actions to remediate IT and non-IT
systems so that they are Year 2000 ready; (3) testing IT and non-IT systems for
Year 2000 readiness; (4) deploying such remediated and tested systems back into
their respective production environments; and (5) conducting internal and
external integrated testing of such systems. As of December 31, 1998, Hartford
substantially completed initiatives (1) through (4) of its internal Year 2000
efforts. Hartford has begun initiative (5) and management currently anticipates
that such activity will continue into the fourth quarter of 1999.
THIRD PARTY YEAR 2000 EFFORTS AND TIMETABLE -- Hartford's Year 2000 efforts
include assessing the potential impact on Hartford of third parties' Year 2000
readiness. Hartford's third party Year 2000 efforts include the following three
main initiatives: (1) identifying third parties which have significant business
relationships with Hartford, including, without limitation, insurance agents,
brokers, third party administrators, banks and other distributors and servicers
of financial products, and inquiring of such third parties regarding their Year
2000 readiness; (2) evaluating such third parties' responses to Hartford's
inquiries; and (3) based on the evaluation of third party responses (or a third
party's failure to respond) and the significance of the business relationship,
conducting additional activities with respect to third parties as determined to
be necessary in each case. These activities may include conducting additional
inquiries, more in-depth evaluations of Year 2000 readiness and plans, and
integrated IT systems testing. Hartford has completed the first third party
initiative and, as of early 1999, had substantially completed evaluating third
party responses received. Hartford has begun conducting the additional
activities described in initiative (3) and management currently anticipates that
it will continue to do so through the end of 1999. However, notwithstanding
these third party Year 2000 efforts, Hartford does not have control over these
third parties and, as a result, Hartford cannot currently determine to what
extent future operating results may be adversely affected by the failure of
these third parties to adequately address their Year 2000 issues.
YEAR 2000 COSTS -- The costs of Hartford's Year 2000 program that were
incurred through the year ended December 31, 1997 were not material to
Hartford's financial condition or results of operations. The after-tax costs of
Hartford's Year 2000 efforts for the year ended December 31, 1998 were
approximately $3 million. Management currently estimates that after-tax costs
related to the Year 2000 program to be incurred in 1999 will be less than $10
million. These costs are being expensed as incurred.
RISKS AND CONTINGENCY PLANS -- If significant Year 2000 problems arise,
including problems arising with third parties, failures of IT and non-IT systems
could occur, which in turn could result in substantial interruptions in
Hartford's business. In addition, Hartford's investing activities are an
important aspect of its business and Hartford may be exposed to the risk that
issuers of investments held by it will be adversely impacted by Year 2000
issues. Given the uncertain nature of Year 2000 problems that may arise,
especially those related to the readiness of third parties discussed above,
management cannot determine at this time whether the consequences of Year 2000
related problems that could arise will have a material impact on Hartford's
financial condition or results of operations.
Hartford is in the process of developing certain contingency plans so that
if, despite its Year 2000 efforts, Year 2000 problems ultimately arise, the
impact of such problems may be avoided or minimized. These contingency plans are
being developed based on, among other things, known or reasonably anticipated
circumstances and potential vulnerabilities. The contingency planning also
includes assessing the dependency of Hartford's business on third parties and
their Year 2000 readiness. Hartford currently anticipates
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 21
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
that internal and external contingency plans will be substantially complete by
the end of the second quarter of 1999. However, in many contexts, Year 2000
issues are dynamic, and ongoing assessments of business functions,
vulnerabilities and risks must be made. As such, new contingency plans may be
needed in the future and/or existing plans may need to be modified as
circumstances warrant.
TAXES
GENERAL
Since federal tax law is complex, the tax consequences of purchasing this
policy will vary depending on your situation. You may need tax or legal advice
to help you determine whether purchasing this policy is right for you.
Our general discussion of the tax treatment of this policy is based on our
understanding of federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted. A
detailed description of all federal income tax consequences regarding the
purchase of this policy cannot be made in the prospectus. We also do not discuss
state, municipal or other tax laws that may apply to this policy. For detailed
information, you should consult with a qualified tax adviser familiar with your
situation.
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 "Death Benefits and Policy Values --
Values Under the Certificate"). 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 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.
<PAGE>
22 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 contract are treated first as income, then as a recovery of basis.
Taxable withdrawals are subject to a 10% additional tax. Generally, only
distributions and loans made in the first year in which a policy becomes a
modified endowment contract, 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. In addition, if there is a reduction in benefits under the Certificate
within the first seven Coverage Years, the seven-pay test is applied as if the
Certificate had initially been issued at the reduced benefit level. Any
reduction in benefits attributable to the nonpayment of premiums will not be
taken into account for purposes of the seven-pay test if the benefits are
reinstated within 90 days after the reduction.
If the Certificate satisfies the seven-pay test for seven years,
distributions and loans made thereafter will not be subject to the modified
endowment contract 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.
Before assigning, pledging, or requesting a Loan under a Certificate that is
a modified endownment contract, an owner should consult a qualified tax adviser.
All modified endowment contracts 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 contract 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
The Code requires that investments supporting your policy be adequately
diversified. Code Section 817 provides that a variable life insurance contract
will not be treated as a life insurance contract for any period during which the
investments made by the separate account or underlying fund are not adequately
diversified. If a policy is not treated as a life insurance contract, the policy
owner will be subject to income tax on annual increases in cash value.
The Treasury Department's diversification regulations require, among other
things, that:
- - no more than 55% of the value of the total assets of the segregated asset
account underlying a variable contract is represented by any one investment,
- - no more than 70% is represented by any two investments,
- - no more than 80% is represented by any three investments and
- - no more than 90% is represented by any four investments.
In determining whether the diversification standards are met, all securities
of the same issuer, all interests in the same real property project, and all
interests in the same commodity are each treated as a single investment. In the
case of government securities, each government agency or instrumentality is
treated as a separate issuer.
A separate account must be in compliance with the diversification standards
on the last day of each calendar quarter or within 30 days after the quarter
ends. If an insurance company inadvertently fails to meet the diversification
requirements, the company may still comply within a reasonable period and avoid
the taxation of contract income on an ongoing basis. However, either the company
or the policy owner must agree to pay the tax due for the period during which
the diversification requirements were not met.
We monitor the diversification of investments in the separate accounts and
test for diversification as required by the Code. We intend to administer all
policies subject to the diversification requirements in a manner that will
maintain adequate diversification.
OWNERSHIP OF THE ASSETS IN THE
SEPARATE ACCOUNT
In order for a variable life insurance contract to qualify for tax deferral,
assets in the separate accounts supporting the contract must be considered to be
owned by the insurance company and not by the policy owner. It is unclear under
what circumstances an investor is considered to have enough control over the
assets in the separate account to be considered the owner of the assets for tax
purposes.
The IRS has issued several rulings discussing investor control. These
rulings say that certain incidents of ownership by the policy owner, such as the
ability to select and control investments in a separate account, will cause the
policy owner to be treated as the owner of the assets for tax purposes.
In its explanation of the diversification regulations, the Treasury
Department recognized that the temporary regulations "do not provide guidance
concerning the
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 23
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
circumstances in which investor control of the investments of a segregated asset
account may cause the investor, rather than the insurance company, to be treated
as the owner of the assets in the account." The explanation further indicates
that "the temporary regulations provide that in appropriate cases a segregated
asset account may include multiple sub-accounts, but do not specify the extent
to which policyholders may direct their investments to particular sub-accounts
without being treated as the owners of the underlying assets. Guidance on this
and other issues will be provided in regulations or revenue rulings under
Section 817(d), relating to the definition of variable policy."
The final regulations issued under Section 817 did not provide guidance
regarding investor control, and as of the date of this prospectus, guidance has
yet to be issued. We do not know if additional guidance will be issued. If
guidance is issued, we do not know if it will have a retroactive effect.
Due to the lack of specific guidance on investor control, there is some
uncertainty about when a policy owner is considered the owner of the assets for
tax purposes. We reserve the right to modify the policy, as necessary, to
prevent you from being considered the owner of assets in the separate account.
TAX DEFERRAL DURING ACCUMULATION PERIOD
Under existing provisions of the Code, except as described below, any
increase in an owner's Investment Value is generally not taxable to the Policy
Owner unless amounts are received (or are deemed to be received) under the
Policy prior to the Insured's death. If the Policy is surrendered or matures,
the amount received will be includable in the Policy Owner's income to the
extent that it exceeds the Policy Owner's "investment in the contract." (If
there is any debt at the time of a surrender, then such debt will be treated as
an amount distributed to the owner.) The "investment in the contract" is the
aggregate amount of premium payments and other consideration paid for the
Policy, less the aggregate amount received previously under the Policy to the
extent such amounts received were excluded from gross income. Whether partial
withdrawals (or other such amounts deemed to be distributed) from the Policy
constitute income to the Policy Owner depends, in part, upon whether the Policy
is considered a modified endowment policy for Federal income tax purposes.
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, three
years, 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 Limited Maturity Bond, Balanced
and Partners Portfolios of Neuberger Berman Advisers Management Trust 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 HLS 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
<PAGE>

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
We 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.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Separate Account is not a party to any pending material legal
proceedings.

ICMG REGISTERED VARIABLE LIFE SEPARATE ACCOUNT A was established as a separate
account under Connecticut law on April 14, 1998. The Separate Account is
classified as a unit investment trust registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
SERVICES
SAFEKEEPING OF ASSETS -- Title to the assets of the Separate Account is held
by Hartford. The assets are kept physically segregated and are held separate and
apart from Hartford's general corporate assets. Records are maintained of all
purchases and redemptions of Fund shares held in each of the Investment
Divisions.
EXPERTS
INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS -- The audited financial statements and
financial statement schedules included in this registration statement have been
audited by Arthur Andersen LLP, independent public accountants, as indicated in
their reports with respect thereto, and are included herein in reliance upon the
authority of said firm as experts in giving said reports. The principal business
address of Arthur Andersen LLP is One Financial Plaza, Hartford, Connecticut
06103.
ACTUARIAL EXPERT -- The hypothetical Policy illustrations included in this
Statement of Additional Information and the registration statement with respect
to the Separate Account have been approved by James M. Hedreen, FSA, MAAA,
Actuary, for Hartford, and are included in reliance upon his opinion as to their
reasonableness.
DISTRIBUTION OF THE POLICIES
Hartford Equity Sales Company, Inc. ("HESCO") serves as principal
underwriter for the Certificates and will offer the Policies on a continuous
basis. HESCO is an affiliate of Hartford. Both HESCO and Hartford are ultimately
<PAGE>
6 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
controlled by The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. HESCO is located at
the same address as Hartford. HESCO is registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a broker-dealer
and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
("NASD").
The Policies will be sold by salespersons who represent Hartford as
insurance agents and who are registered representatives of HESCO or certain
other registered broker-dealers who have entered into distribution agreements
with HESCO.
The maximum sales commission payable to Hartford agents, independent
registered insurance brokers, and other registered broker-dealers is 6% of the
premiums paid. Additionally, expense allowances, service fees and asset-based
trail commissions may be paid. A sales representative may be required to return
all or a portion of the commissions paid if a Certificate terminates prior to
the Certificate's second Certificate Anniversary.
Broker-dealers or financial institutions are compensated according to a
schedule set forth HESCO and any applicable rules or regulations for variable
insurance compensation. Compensation is generally based on premium payments.
This compensation is usually paid from the sales charges described in the
Prospectus.
In addition, a broker-dealer or financial institution may also receive
additional compensation for, among other things, training, marketing or other
services provided. HESCO, its affiliates or Hartford may also make compensation
arrangements with certain broker-dealers or other financial institutions based
on total sales by the broker-dealer or financial institution of insurance
products. These payments, which may be different for broker-dealers or financial
institutions, will be made by HESCO, its affiliates or Hartford out of their
assets and will not effect the amounts paid by the policy owners or contract
owners to purchase, hold or surrender variable insurance products.
The following table shows officers and directors of HESCO:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT CHARGES
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 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 the expenses related to the sale and
distribution of the Certificates.
REDUCED CHARGES FOR ELIGIBLE GROUPS -- Certain of the charges and deductions
described above 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 this 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 the 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. From time to time, we may modify
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 Certificate Owners invested in ICMG
Registered Variable Life Separate Account A.
UNDERWRITING PROCEDURES -- To purchase a Certificate you must submit an
enrollment form to us. Within limits, you may choose the initial Premium and the
initial Face Amount. Certificates generally will be issued only on the lives of
insureds ages 79 and under who supply evidence of insurability satisfactory to
us. Acceptance is subject to our underwriting rules and we reserve the right to
reject an enrollment form for any reason. No change in the terms or conditions
of a Certificate will be made without your consent.
The cost of insurance charge is to cover our anticipated mortality costs. We
use various underwriting procedures, including medical underwriting procedures,
depending on the characteristics of the group to which the 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 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
<PAGE>
STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 7
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
Policy that are agreed to by Hartford and the employer. The actual monthly cost
of insurance rates will be based on our expectations as to future experience. We
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 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 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.
INCREASES IN FACE AMOUNT -- At any time after purchasing a Certificate, You
may request In Writing to change the Face Amount. The minimum Face Amount of the
Certificate is $50,000.
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 Us 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. We reserve the right to limit the number of increases made under the
Certificate to not more than one in any 12 month period.

ILLUSTRATIONS OF DEATH BENEFITS, ACCOUNT VALUES
AND CASH SURRENDER VALUES
The following tables illustrate how the death benefit, Cash Value and Cash
Surrender Value of a Policy may change with the investment experience of the
Separate Account. They 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. They
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 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
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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Hartford Life Insurance Company:
We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets of Hartford Life
Insurance Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
related Consolidated Statements of Income, Changes in Stockholder's Equity and
Cash Flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998.
These Consolidated Financial Statements and the schedules referred to below are
the responsibility of Hartford Life Insurance Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hartford Life
Insurance Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1998 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedules listed in the Index to
Consolidated Financial Statements and Schedules are presented for the purpose of
complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and are not part
of the basic financial statements. These schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and,
in our opinion, fairly state in all material respects the financial data
required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED)
1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
These Consolidated Financial Statements include Hartford Life Insurance
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ("Hartford Life Insurance Company" or
the "Company"), Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company (ILA) and Hartford
International Life Reassurance Corporation (HLRe), formerly American Skandia
Life Reinsurance Corporation. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company (HLA), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Hartford Life, Inc. (Hartford Life). Hartford Life is a direct subsidiary of
Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company (HA&I), an indirect subsidiary of The
Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (The Hartford). Pursuant to an initial
public offering (the "IPO") on May 22, 1997, Hartford Life sold 26 million
shares of Class A Common Stock at $28.25 per share and received proceeds, net of
offering expenses, of $687. Of the proceeds, $527 was used to retire debt
related to Hartford Life's outstanding promissory notes and line of credit with
the remaining $160 contributed by Hartford Life to HLA to support growth in its
core businesses. Hartford Life became a publicly traded company upon the sale of
26 million shares representing approximately 18.6% of the equity ownership in
Hartford Life. On December 19, 1995, ITT Industries, Inc. (formerly ITT
Corporation) (ITT) distributed all the outstanding shares of capital stock of
The Hartford to ITT stockholders of record on such date. As a result, The
Hartford became an independent, publicly traded company.
Along with its parent, HLA, the Company is a leading financial services and
insurance company which provides (a) investment products such as individual
variable annuities and fixed market value adjusted annuities, deferred
compensation and retirement plan services and mutual funds for savings and
retirement needs; (b) life insurance for income protection and estate planning;
and (c) employee benefits products such as group life and disability insurance
that is directly written by the Company and is substantially ceded to its
parent, HLA, and (d) corporate owned life insurance.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These Consolidated Financial Statements present the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows of the Company. All material intercompany
transactions and balances between the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates
have been eliminated. The Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared on the
basis of generally accepted accounting principles which differ materially from
the statutory accounting practices prescribed by various insurance regulatory
authorities.
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most
significant estimates include those used in determining deferred policy
acquisition costs and the liability for future policy benefits and other
policyholder funds. Although some variability is inherent in these estimates,
management believes the amounts provided are adequate.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial information
to conform to the current year presentation.
(B) CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
In November 1998, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached consensus on
Issue No. 98-15, "Structured Notes Acquired for a Specific Investment Strategy".
This EITF issue requires companies to account for structured notes acquired for
a specific investment strategy, as a unit. Affected companies that entered into
these notes prior to September 25, 1998 are required to either restate prior
period financial statements to conform with the prescribed unit accounting model
or disclose the related impact on earnings for all periods presented and
cumulatively over the life of the instruments had the registrant accounted for
the structure as a unit. Based upon recently prescribed current generally
accepted accounting principles for such types of transactions entered into after
September 24, 1998, there was no additional earnings impact to the Company
related to combined structured note transactions. As of December 31, 1998, the
Company does not hold any combined structured notes.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". The new standard establishes
accounting and reporting guidance for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts. The standard requires, among
other things, that all derivatives be carried on the balance sheet at fair
value. The standard also specifies hedge accounting criteria under which a
derivative can qualify for special accounting. In order to receive special
accounting, the derivative instrument must qualify as either
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES F-7
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a hedge of the fair value or the variability of the cash flow of a qualified
asset or liability. Special accounting for qualifying hedges provides for
matching the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with
the recognition of the corresponding changes in value of the hedged item. SFAS
No. 133 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999.
Initial application for Hartford Life Insurance Company will begin for the first
quarter of the year 2000. While Hartford Life Insurance Company is currently in
the process of quantifying the impact of SFAS No. 133, the Company is reviewing
its derivative holdings in order to take actions needed to minimize potential
volatility, while at the same time maintaining the economic protection needed to
support the goals of its business.
In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
(AICPA) issued Statement of Position (SOP) No. 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs
of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use". The SOP provides
guidance on accounting for the costs of internal use software and in determining
whether the software is for internal use. The SOP defines internal use software
as software that is acquired, internally developed, or modified solely to meet
internal needs and identifies stages of software development and accounting for
the related costs incurred during the stages. This statement is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998 and is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income", which establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose
financial statements. The objective of this statement is to report a measure of
all changes in equity of an enterprise that result from transactions and other
economic events of the period other than transactions with owners. Comprehensive
income is the total of net income and all other nonowner changes in equity.
Accordingly, the Company has reported comprehensive income in the Consolidated
Statements of Changes in Stockholder's Equity.
In December 1997, the AICPA issued SOP No. 97-3 "Accounting by Insurance and
Other Enterprises for Insurance Related Assessments". This SOP provides guidance
on accounting by insurance and other enterprises for assessments related to
insurance activities. Specifically, the SOP provides guidance on when a guaranty
fund or other assessment should be recognized, how to measure the liability, and
what information should be disclosed. This SOP will be effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1998. Adoption of SOP 97-3 is not expected to
have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of
operations.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information". The new standard requires public
business enterprises to disclose certain financial and descriptive information
about reportable operating segments in annual financial statements and in
condensed financial statements of interim periods. Operating segments are
components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is
available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in
deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. SFAS No. 131 also
establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services,
geographic areas and major customers. The Company adopted SFAS No. 131 in 1998.
For additional information, see Note 13.
On November 14, 1996, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 96-12,
"Recognition of Interest Income and Balance Sheet Classification of Structured
Notes". This EITF issue requires companies to record income on certain
structured securities on a retrospective interest method. The Company adopted
EITF No. 96-12 for structured securities acquired after November 14, 1996.
Adoption of EITF No. 96-12 did not have a material effect on the Company's
financial condition or results of operations.
In June 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities" which is
effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of
liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996. This statement established
criteria for determining whether transferred assets should be accounted for as
sales or secured borrowings. Adoption of SFAS No. 125 did not have a material
effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
Effective January 1, 1996, Hartford Life Insurance Company adopted SFAS No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of ". This statement establishes accounting standards for
the impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles and
goodwill related to those assets to be held and used and for long-lived assets
and certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed. Adoption of SFAS No. 121
did not have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results
of operations.
The Company's cash flows were not impacted by these changes in accounting
principles.
(C) REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenues for investment products and universal life-type policies consist of
policy charges for policy administration, cost of insurance and surrender
charges assessed to policy account balances and are recognized in the period in
which services are provided. Premiums for traditional life insurance policies
are recognized as revenues when they are due from policyholders.
<PAGE>
F-8 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(D) FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS AND OTHER POLICYHOLDER FUNDS
Liabilities for future policy benefits are computed by the net level premium
method using interest rate assumptions varying from 3% to 11% and withdrawal and
mortality assumptions appropriate at the time the policies were issued.
Liabilities for universal life-type and investment contracts are stated at
policyholder account values before surrender charges.
(E) INVESTMENTS
Hartford Life Insurance Company's investments in fixed maturities include
bonds and commercial paper which are considered "available for sale" and
accordingly are carried at fair value with the after-tax difference from cost
reflected as a component of stockholder's equity designated "net unrealized
capital gains on securities, net of tax". Equity securities, which include
common and non-redeemable preferred stocks, are carried at fair values with the
after-tax difference from cost reflected in stockholder's equity. Policy loans
are carried at outstanding balance which approximates fair value. Realized
capital gains and losses on security transactions associated with the Company's
immediate participation guaranteed contracts are excluded from revenues and
deferred over the expected maturity of the securities, since under the terms of
the contracts the realized gains and losses will be credited to policyholders in
future years as they are entitled to receive them. Net realized capital gains
and losses, excluding those related to immediate participation guaranteed
contracts, are reported as a component of revenue and are determined on a
specific identification basis.
The Company's accounting policy for impairment requires recognition of an
other than temporary impairment charge on a security if it is determined that
the Company is unable to recover all amounts due under the contractual
obligations of the security. In addition, for securities expected to be sold, an
other than temporary impairment charge is recognized if the Company does not
expect the fair value of a security to recover to cost or amortized cost prior
to the expected date of sale. Once an impairment charge has been recorded, the
Company then continues to review the other than temporarily impaired securities
for additional impairment, if necessary.
(F) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Hartford Life Insurance Company uses a variety of derivative instruments
including swaps, caps, floors, forwards and exchange traded financial futures
and options as part of an overall risk management strategy. These instruments
are used as a means of hedging exposure to price, foreign currency and/or
interest rate risk on planned investment purchases or existing assets and
liabilities. The Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments for
trading purposes. Hartford Life Insurance Company's accounting for derivative
instruments used to manage risk is in accordance with the concepts established
in SFAS No. 80, "Accounting for Futures Contracts", SFAS No. 52, "Foreign
Currency Translation", AICPA SOP 86-2, "Accounting for Options" and various EITF
pronouncements. Written options are used, in all cases in conjunction with other
assets and derivatives, as part of the Company's asset and liability management
strategy. Derivative instruments are carried at values consistent with the asset
or liability being hedged. Derivative instruments used to hedge fixed maturities
or equity securities are carried at fair value with the after-tax difference
from cost reflected in Stockholder's Equity. Derivative instruments used to
hedge other invested assets or liabilities are carried at cost. For a discussion
of SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
issued in June 1998, see (b) Changes in Accounting Principles.
Derivative instruments must be designated at inception as a hedge and
measured for effectiveness both at inception and on an ongoing basis. Hartford
Life Insurance Company's correlation threshold for hedge designation is 80% to
120%. If correlation, which is assessed monthly and measured based on a rolling
three month average, falls outside the 80% to 120% range, hedge accounting will
be terminated. Derivative instruments used to create a synthetic asset must meet
synthetic accounting criteria including designation at inception and consistency
of terms between the synthetic and the instrument being replicated. Consistent
with industry practice, synthetic instruments are accounted for like the
financial instrument it is intended to replicate. Derivative instruments which
fail to meet risk management criteria, subsequent to acquisition, are marked to
market with the impact reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Gains or losses on financial futures contracts entered into in anticipation
of the investment of future receipt of product cash flows are deferred and, at
the time of the ultimate investment purchase, reflected as an adjustment to the
cost basis of the purchased asset. Gains or losses on futures used in invested
asset risk management are deferred and adjusted into the cost basis of the
hedged asset when the contract futures are closed, except for futures used in
duration hedging which are deferred and basis adjusted on a quarterly basis. The
basis adjustments are amortized into net investment income over the remaining
asset life.
Open forward commitment contracts are marked to market through stockholder's
equity. Such contracts are accounted for at settlement by recording the purchase
of the specified securities at the previously committed price. Gains or losses
resulting from the termination of forward commitment contracts before the
delivery of the securities are recognized immediately in the Consolidated
Statements of Income as a component of net investment income.
The cost of options entered into as part of a risk management strategy are
basis adjusted to the underlying asset or liability and amortized over the
remaining life of the
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES F-9
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
option. Gains or losses on expiration or termination are adjusted into the basis
of the underlying asset or liability and amortized over the remaining asset
life.
Interest rate swaps involve the periodic exchange of payments without the
exchange of underlying principal or notional amounts. Net receipts or payments
are accrued and recognized over the life of the swap agreement as an adjustment
to investment income. Should the swap be terminated, the gain or loss is
adjusted into the basis of the asset or liability and amortized over the
remaining life. Should the hedged asset be sold or liability terminated without
terminating the swap position, any swap gains or losses are immediately
recognized in net investment income. Interest rate swaps purchased in
anticipation of an asset purchase (anticipatory transaction) are recognized
consistent with the underlying asset components such that the settlement
component is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income while the
change in market value is recognized as an unrealized capital gain or loss.
Premiums paid on purchased floor or cap agreements and the premium received
on issued cap or floor agreements (used for risk management) are adjusted into
the basis of the applicable asset and amortized over the asset life. Gains or
losses on termination of such positions are adjusted into the basis of the asset
or liability and amortized over the remaining asset life. Net payments are
recognized as an adjustment to income or basis adjusted and amortized depending
on the specific hedge strategy.
Forward exchange contracts and foreign currency swaps are accounted for in
accordance with SFAS No. 52. Changes in the spot rate of instruments designated
as hedges of the net investment in a foreign subsidiary are reflected in the
cumulative translation adjustments component of stockholder's equity. Cash flows
from futures, options, and swaps, accounted for as hedges, are included with the
cash flows of the item being hedged.
(G) SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
Hartford Life Insurance Company maintains separate account assets and
liabilities which are reported at fair value. Separate account assets are
segregated from other investments. Separate accounts reflect two categories of
risk assumption: non-guaranteed separate accounts, wherein the policyholder
assumes the investment risk and rewards, and guaranteed separate account assets,
wherein the Company contractually guarantees either a minimum return or account
value to the policyholder.
(H) DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
Policy acquisition costs, which include commissions and certain underwriting
expenses associated with acquiring business, are deferred and amortized over the
estimated lives of the contracts, usually 20 years. Generally, acquisition costs
are deferred and amortized using the retrospective deposit method. Under the
retrospective deposit method, acquisition costs are amortized in proportion to
the present value of expected gross profits from surrender charges, investment
charges, mortality and expense margins. Actual gross profits can vary from
management's estimates resulting in increases or decreases in the rate of
amortization. Management periodically updates these estimates, when appropriate,
and evaluates the recoverability of the deferred acquisition cost asset. When
appropriate, management revises its assumptions on the estimated gross profits
of these contracts and the cumulative amortization for the books of business are
re-estimated and adjusted by a cumulative charge or credit to income.
Acquisition costs and their related deferral are included in the Company's
other expenses as follows:

(I) DIVIDENDS TO POLICYHOLDERS
Certain life insurance policies contain dividend payment provisions that
enable the policyholder to participate in the earnings on that participating
block of business. The participating insurance in force accounted for 71%, 55%
and 44% in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, of total insurance in force.

Sales of fixed maturities, excluding short-term fixed maturities, for the
years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 resulted in proceeds of $3.2
billion, $4.2 billion and $3.5 billion, gross realized capital gains of $103,
$169 and $87, gross realized capital losses (including writedowns) of $131, $176
and $298, respectively. In 1996, gross realized capital losses includes an other
than temporary impairment of $137 related to the Company's block of guaranteed
investment contract business written prior to 1995 which could not recover to
amortized cost prior to sale. Sales of equity security investments for the years
ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 resulted in proceeds of $35, $132 and $74
and gross realized capital gains of $21, $12 and $2, respectively, and no gross
realized capital losses for all periods.
(F) CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company is not exposed to any significant concentration of credit risk
in fixed maturities of a single issuer greater than 10% of stockholder's equity.
(G) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Hartford Life Insurance Company utilizes a variety of derivative
instruments, including swaps, caps, floors, forwards and exchange traded futures
and options, in accordance with Company policy and in order to achieve one of
three Company approved objectives: to hedge risk arising from interest rate,
price or currency exchange rate volatility; to manage liquidity; or, to control
transactions costs. The Company utilizes derivative instruments to manage market
risk through four principal risk management strategies: hedging anticipated
transactions, hedging liability instruments, hedging invested assets and hedging
portfolios of assets and/or liabilities. The Company does not trade in these
instruments for the express purpose of earning trading profits.
Hartford Life Insurance Company maintains a derivatives counterparty
exposure policy which establishes market-based credit limits, favors long-term
financial stability and creditworthiness, and typically requires credit
enhancement/credit risk reducing agreements. Credit risk is measured as the
amount owed to the Company based on current market conditions and potential
payment obligations between the Company and its counterparties. Credit exposures
are quantified weekly and netted, and collateral is pledged to or held by the
Company to the extent the current value of derivatives exceed exposure policy
thresholds.
Hartford Life Insurance Company's derivative program is monitored by an
internal compliance unit and is reviewed by senior management and Hartford
Life's Finance Committee of the Board of Directors. Notional amounts, which
represent the basis upon which pay or receive amounts are calculated and are not
reflective of credit risk, pertaining to derivative financial instruments
(excluding the Company's guaranteed separate account derivative investments),
totaled $6.2 billion and $6.5 billion ($3.9 billion and $4.6 billion related to
the Company's investments, $2.3 billion and $1.9 billion on the Company's
liabilities) as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The tables below provide a summary of derivative instruments held by
Hartford Life Insurance Company as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, segregated by
major investment and liability category:

(1) Inverse floaters are variations of collateralized mortgage obligations
(CMO's) for which the coupon rates move inversely with an index rate such as the
London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The risk to principal is considered
negligible as the underlying collateral for the securities is guaranteed or
sponsored by government agencies. To address the volatility risk created by the
coupon variability, the Company uses a variety of derivative instruments,
primarily interest rate swaps, caps and floors.
(2) As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, approximately 5% and 44% ,
respectively, of the notional futures contracts expire within one year.
(3) As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, approximately 11% and 16%,
respectively, of foreign currency swaps expire within one year.
(4) Deferred gains and losses on anticipatory transactions are included in
the carrying value of fixed maturities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At
the time of the ultimate purchase, they are reflected as a basis adjustment to
the purchased asset. As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company had no
deferred gains for interest rate swaps. During 1998, $1.5 in deferred gains were
basis adjusted.

4. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
SFAS No. 107 "Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" requires
disclosure of fair value information of financial instruments. For certain
financial instruments where quoted market prices are not available, other
independent valuation techniques and assumptions are used. Because considerable
judgment is used, these estimates are not necessarily indicative of amounts that
could be realized in a current market exchange. SFAS No. 107 excludes certain
financial instruments from disclosure, including insurance contracts. Hartford
Life Insurance Company uses the following methods and assumptions in estimating
the fair value of each class of financial instrument.
Fair value for fixed maturities and marketable equity securities
approximates those quotations published by applicable stock exchanges or
received from other reliable sources.
For policy loans, carrying amounts approximate fair value.
Fair value for other invested assets primarily consist of partnerships and
trusts that are based on external market valuations from partnership and trust
management as well as mortgage loans where carrying amounts approximate fair
value.
Other policyholder funds fair value information is determined by estimating
future cash flows, discounted at the current market rate.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments, including swaps, caps,
floors, futures, options and forward commitments, is determined using a pricing
model which is validated through periodic comparison to dealer quoted prices.
The carrying amount and fair values of Hartford Life Insurance Company's
financial instruments as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 were as follows:

5. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
Hartford Life Insurance Company maintained separate account assets and
liabilities totaling $90.3 billion and $69.1 billion as of December 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively, which are reported at fair value. Separate account assets,
which are segregated from other investments, reflect two categories of risk
assumption: non-guaranteed separate accounts totaling $80.6 billion and $58.6
billion as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, wherein the policyholder
assumes the investment risk, and guaranteed separate accounts totaling $9.7 and
$10.5 billion as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, wherein Hartford
Life Insurance Company contractually guarantees either a minimum return or
account value to the policyholder. Included in non-guaranteed separate account
assets were policy loans totaling $1.8 billion and $1.9 billion as of December
31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Net investment income (including net realized
capital gains and losses) and interest credited to policyholders on separate
account assets are not reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Separate account management fees and other revenues were $908, $699 and $538
in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The guaranteed separate accounts include
fixed market value adjusted (MVA) individual annuity and modified guaranteed
life insurance. The average credited interest rate on these contracts was 6.6%
and 6.5% as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The assets that support
these liabilities were comprised of $9.5 billion and $10.2 billion in fixed
maturities as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The portfolios are
segregated from other investments and are managed to minimize liquidity and
interest rate risk. In order to minimize the risk of disintermediation
associated with early withdrawals, fixed MVA annuity and modified guaranteed
life insurance contracts carry a graded surrender charge as well as a market
value adjustment. Additional investment risk is hedged using a variety of
derivatives which totaled $40 and $119 in carrying value and $3.5 billion and
$3.0 billion in notional amounts as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

</TABLE>
A significant percentage of the consolidated statutory surplus is
permanently reinvested or is subject to various state regulatory restrictions
which limit the payment of dividends without prior approval. The total amount of
statutory dividends which may be paid by the insurance subsidiaries of the
Company in 1999 is estimated to be $168.
Hartford Life Insurance Company and its domestic insurance subsidiaries
prepare their statutory financial statements in accordance with accounting
practices prescribed by the State of Connecticut. Prescribed statutory
accounting practices include publications of the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners, as well as state laws, regulations, and general
administrative rules.
7. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS
Hartford Life Insurance Company's employees are included in the 1997
Hartford Life, Inc. Incentive Stock Plan (the "Plan"), which was adopted during
the second quarter of 1997. Under the Plan, options granted may be either
non-qualified options or incentive stock options qualifying under Section 422A
of the Internal Revenue Code. The aggregate number of shares of Class A Common
Stock which may be awarded in any one year shall be subject to an annual limit.
The maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock which may be granted under
the Plan in each year shall be 1.5% of the total issued and outstanding shares
of Hartford Life Class A Common Stock and treasury stock as reported in the
Annual Report on Hartford Life's Form 10-K for the preceding year plus unused
portions of such limit from prior years. In addition, no more than 5 million
shares of Class A Common Stock shall be cumulatively available for awards of
incentive stock options under the Plan, and no more than 20% of the total number
of shares on a cumulative basis shall be available for restricted stock and
performance shares.
All options granted have an exercise price equal to the market price of
Hartford Life's stock on the date of grant and an option's maximum term is ten
years. Certain nonperformance based options become exercisable upon the
attainment of specified market price appreciation of Hartford Life's common
shares or at seven years after the date of grant, while the remaining
nonperformance based options become exercisable over a three year period
commencing with the date of grant.
Also included in the Plan are long-term performance awards which become
payable upon the attainment of specific performance goals achieved over a three
year period.
During the second quarter of 1997, Hartford Life established the Hartford
Life, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). Under this plan, eligible
employees of Hartford Life and the Company may purchase Class A Common Stock of
Hartford Life at a 15% discount from the lower of the market price at the
beginning or end of the quarterly offering period. Hartford Life may sell up to
2,700,000 shares of stock to eligible employees. Hartford Life sold 121,943 and
54,316 shares under the ESPP in 1998 and 1997, respectively. The weighted
average fair value of the discount under the ESPP was $13.80 per share in 1998
and $9.63 per share in 1997.

8. POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT AND SAVINGS PLANS
(A) PENSION PLANS
Hartford Life Insurance Company's employees are included in The Hartford's
noncontributory defined benefit pension plans. These plans provide pension
benefits that are based on years of service and the employee's compensation
during the last ten years of employment. The Company's funding policy is to
contribute annually an amount between the minimum funding requirements set forth
in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the
maximum amount that can be deducted for U.S. Federal income tax purposes.
Generally, pension costs are funded through the purchase of the Company's group
pension contracts. The cost to the Company was approximately $6 in 1998 and $5
in both 1997 and 1996.
The Company also provides, through The Hartford, certain health care and
life insurance benefits for eligible retired employees. A substantial portion of
the Company's employees may become eligible for these benefits upon retirement.
The Company's contribution for health care benefits will depend on the retiree's
date of retirement and years of service. In addition, the plan has a defined
dollar cap which limits average Company contributions. The Company has prefunded
a portion of the health care and life insurance obligations through trust funds
where such prefunding can be accomplished on a tax effective basis.
Postretirement health care and life insurance benefits expense, allocated by The
Hartford, was immaterial to the results of operations for 1998, 1997 and 1996.
The assumed rate in the per capita cost of health care (the health care
trend rate) was 7.8% for 1998, decreasing ratably to 5.0% in the year 2003.
Increasing the health care trend rates by one percent per year would have an
immaterial impact on the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and the
annual expense. To the extent that the actual experience differs from the
inherent assumptions, the effect will be amortized over the average future
service of covered employees.
(B) INVESTMENT AND SAVINGS PLAN
Substantially all employees of the Company are eligible to participate in
The Hartford's Investment and Savings Plan. Under this plan, designated
contributions, which may be invested in Class A Common Stock of Hartford Life or
certain other investments, are matched, up to 3% of compensation, by the
Company. The cost to Hartford Life Insurance Company for the above-mentioned
plan was approximately $4 and $2 in 1998 and 1997, respectively.
9. REINSURANCE
Hartford Life Insurance Company cedes insurance to other insurers, including
its parent, HLA, in order to limit its maximum loss. Such transfer does not
relieve the Company of its primary liability. The Company also assumes insurance
from other insurers. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could
result in losses to the Company. The Company evaluates the financial condition
of its reinsurers and monitors concentration of credit risk.
Net premiums and other considerations were comprised of the following:

The Company ceded approximately $128, $76 and $100 of group life premium to
HLA in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, representing $38.4 billion, $33.6
billion and $33.3 billion of insurance in force, respectively. The Company ceded
$383, $339 and $318 of accident and health premium to HLA in 1998, 1997 and
1996, respectively. The Company assumed $82, $89 and $101 of premium in 1998,
1997 and 1996, respectively, representing $7.4 billion, $8.2 billion and $8.5
billion of individual life insurance in force, respectively, from HLA.
Life reinsurance recoveries, which reduce death and other benefits,
approximated $97, $158 and $140 for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and
1996, respectively.
Hartford Life Insurance Company has no significant reinsurance-related
concentrations of credit risk.
10. INCOME TAX
Hartford Life and The Hartford have entered into a tax sharing agreement
under which each member in the consolidated U.S. Federal income tax return will
make payments between them such that, with respect to any period, the amount of
taxes to be paid by the Company, subject to certain adjustments, generally will
be determined as though the Company were filing separate Federal, state and
local income tax returns.
As long as The Hartford continues to own at least 80% of the combined voting
power and 80% of the value of the outstanding capital stock of Hartford Life,
the Company will be included for Federal income tax purposes in the affiliated
group of which The Hartford is the common parent. It is the intention of The
Hartford and its non-life subsidiaries to file a single consolidated Federal
income tax return. The life insurance companies will file a separate
consolidated federal income tax return. The Company's effective tax rate was
35%, 36% and 35% in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

</TABLE>
Hartford Life Insurance Company had a current tax payable of $65 and $64 as
of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Prior to the Tax Reform Act of 1984, the Life Insurance Company Income Tax
Act of 1959 permitted the deferral from taxation of a portion of statutory
income under certain circumstances. In these situations, the deferred income was
accumulated in a "Policyholders' Surplus Account" and, based on current tax law,
will be taxable in the future only under conditions which management considers
to be remote; therefore, no Federal income taxes have been provided on this
deferred income. The balance for tax return purposes of the Policyholders'
Surplus Account as of December 31, 1998 was $104.
11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Transactions of the Company with HA&I and its affiliates relate principally
to tax settlements, reinsurance, insurance coverage, rental and service fees,
payment of dividends and capital contributions. In addition, certain affiliated
insurance companies purchased group annuity contracts from the Company to fund
pension costs and claim annuities to settle casualty claims. Substantially all
general insurance expenses related to the Company, including rent and employee
benefit plan expenses, are initially paid by The Hartford. Direct expenses are
allocated to the Company using specific identification, and indirect expenses
are allocated using other applicable methods. Indirect expenses include those
for corporate areas which, depending on type, are allocated based on either a
percentage of direct expenses or on utilization. Indirect expenses allocated to
the Company by The Hartford were $47, $34 and $40 in 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Management believes that the methods used are reasonable.
12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
(A) LITIGATION
Hartford Life Insurance Company is involved in pending and threatened
litigation in the normal course of its business in which claims for monetary and
punitive damages have been asserted. Although there can be no assurances, at the
present time the Company does not anticipate that the ultimate liability arising
from such pending or threatened litigation, after consideration of provisions
made for potential losses and costs of defense, will have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition or operating results of the Company.
(B) GUARANTY FUNDS
Under insurance guaranty fund laws in each state, the District of Columbia
and Puerto Rico, insurers licensed to do business can be assessed by state
insurance guaranty associations for certain obligations of insolvent insurance
companies to policyholders and claimants. Recent regulatory actions against
certain large life insurers encountering financial difficulty have prompted
various state insurance guaranty associations to begin assessing life insurance
companies for the deemed losses. Most of these laws do provide, however, that an
assessment may be excused or deferred if it would threaten an insurer's solvency
and further provide annual limits on such assessments. Part of the assessments
paid by the Company and its subsidiaries pursuant to these laws may be used as
credits for a portion of the associated premium taxes. The Company paid guaranty
fund assessments of approximately $9, $15 and $11 in 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, of which $4, $4 and $5, respectively, were estimated to be
creditable against premium taxes.
(C) LEASES
The rent paid to Hartford Fire for space occupied by the Company was $7 in
both 1998 and 1997 and $3 in 1996. Future minimum rental commitments are as
follows:

Rental expense is recognized on a level basis over the term of the primary
sublease, which expires on December 31, 2009, and amounted to approximately $9
in both 1998 and 1997 and $8 in 1996.
(D) TAX MATTERS
Hartford Life's federal income tax returns are routinely audited by the
Internal Revenue Service. Hartford Life is currently under audit for the years
1993 through 1995, with the audit for the years 1996 through 1997 expected to
begin during early 1999. Management believes that adequate provision has been
made in the financial statements for items that may result from tax examinations
and other tax related matters.
(E) INVESTMENTS
As of December 31, 1998, Hartford Life Insurance Company held $71 of asset
backed securities securitized and serviced by Commercial Financial Services,
Inc. (CFS) of which $50 were included in the Company's general account and $21
in the Company's guaranteed separate account. In October 1998, the Company
became aware of allegations of improper activities at CFS. On December 11, 1998,
CFS filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. As of December
31, 1998, CFS continues to service the asset backed securities, which remain
current on payments of principal and interest, however, the Company does not
expect to recover all of its principal investment. Based upon information
available in the fourth quarter 1998, the Company recognized a $25, after-tax,
writedown related to its holdings in CFS of which $18 was related to the
Company's general account assets. The ultimate realizable amount depends on the
outcome of the bankruptcy of CFS and these estimates are therefore subject to
material change as new information becomes available. The Company is presently
unable to determine the amount of further potential loss, if any, related to the
securities.
13. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Hartford Life Insurance Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", during the fourth quarter of
1998. This statement replaces SFAS No. 14, "Financial Reporting for Segments of
a Business Enterprise", and establishes new standards for reporting information
about operating segments in annual financial statements and in interim financial
reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related
disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.
This statement requires that the reportable operating segments be based on the
Company's internal operations. On this basis, Hartford Life Insurance Company's
segments represent strategic operations which offer different products and
services as well as serve different markets.
Hartford Life Insurance Company is organized into three reportable operating
segments which include Investment Products, Individual Life and Corporate Owned
Life Insurance (COLI). Investment Products offers individual variable annuities,
fixed market value adjusted (MVA) annuities and fixed and variable immediate
annuities, mutual funds, deferred compensation and retirement plan services,
structured settlement contracts and other special purpose annuity contracts.
Individual Life sells a variety of life insurance products, including variable
life, universal life, interest-sensitive whole life and term life insurance.
COLI primarily offers variable products used by employers to fund non-qualified
benefits or other post-employment benefit obligations as well as leveraged COLI.
The Company includes in "Other" corporate items not directly allocable to any of
its reportable operating segments as well as certain employee benefit products
including group life and disability insurance that is directly written by the
Company and is substantially ceded to its parent, HLA.
The accounting policies of the reportable operating segments are the same as
those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 2.
Hartford Life Insurance Company evaluates performance of its segments based on
revenues, net income and the segment's return on allocated capital. The Company
charges direct operating expenses to the appropriate segment and allocates the
majority of indirect expenses to the segments based on an intercompany expense
arrangement. Intersegment revenues are not significant and primarily occur
between corporate and the operating segments. These amounts include interest
income on allocated surplus and the amortization of net realized capital gains
and losses through net investment income utilizing the duration of the segment's
investment portfolios. The Company's revenues are primarily derived from
customers within the United States. The Company's long-lived assets primarily
consist of deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred tax assets from within
the United States. The following table outlines summarized financial information
concerning the Company's segments. The information for 1997 and 1996 has been
restated to conform to the 1998 presentation.

Item 29. Persons Controlled By or Under Common Control with the Depositor or
Registrant
Filed herewith as Exhibit (s).
Item 30: 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.
<PAGE>
-4-
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. 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 a only a director that was successful on the merits in a suit,
under Article VIII, Section 1 of the Registrant's bylaws, the Registrant
must indemnify both directors and officers of the Registrant for (1) any
claims and liabilities to which they become subject by reason of being or
having been a directors or officers of the company and legal and (2) other
expenses incurred in defending against such claims, in each case, to the
extent such is consistent with statutory provisions.
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, 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.
<PAGE>
-5-
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such 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.

ARTICLE I
PARTIES TO THE AGREEMENT
This Agreement is between three Hartford Life Companies, Hartford Life Insurance
Company, Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company, and Hartford Life and
Annuity Insurance Company (collectively referred to as the Ceding Company) and
[Reinsurance Company] (referred to as the Reinsurer). The Reinsurer agrees that
the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to each of the Hartford
Life Companies individually, unless otherwise set forth herein.
ARTICLE II
REINSURANCE COVERAGE
Reinsurance under this Agreement will apply to insurance issued by Ceding
Company on the Plans of Insurance shown in Schedule A. Such Plans of Insurance
shall be reinsured with the Reinsurer on an automatic basis, subject to the
requirements set forth in Section A below or on a facultative basis, subject to
the requirements set forth in Section B below. The specifications for all
reinsurance under this Agreement are provided in Schedule A.
A. Requirements for Automatic Reinsurance
For risks which meet the requirements for automatic reinsurance as set
forth below, Reinsurer will participate in a reinsurance pool whereby
Reinsurer will automatically reinsure a portion of the insurance risks as
indicated in Schedule A. The requirements for automatic reinsurance are as
follows:
1. Each life must be a resident of the United States or Canada at the
time of application.
2. Each life must be underwritten according to the Ceding Company's
standard underwriting practices and guidelines. Any life falling into
the category of special underwriting programs will be excluded from
this Agreement unless previously agreed to by the Reinsurer via a
written amendment.
3. Any risk offered on a facultative basis by the Ceding Company to the
Reinsurer or any other company will not qualify for automatic
reinsurance under this Agreement for the same risk and same life.
4. The maximum issue age on any risk will be age 85.
<PAGE>
5. The mortality rating on each risk must not exceed Table 16, Table P,
or 500%, or its equivalent, as shown in the Ceding Company's retention
schedule, on a flat extra premium basis. However, one life may be
uninsurable if the other life meets the preceding requirements.
6. The total face amount of insurance for the Plans of Insurance in
Schedule A to be reinsured on an automatic basis must not exceed the
Automatic Issue Limits in Exhibit II.
7. The total amount of insurance issued and applied for in all companies
on each life must not exceed the jumbo limits as stated in Exhibit II.
8. The Ceding Company shall retain it's maximum limit of retention for
the age and risk classification of each life, as shown in Exhibit II,
either on previous insurance or insurance currently applied for.
B. Requirements for Facultative Reinsurance
1. If the requirements for automatic reinsurance are met, but the Ceding
Company prefers to apply for facultative reinsurance with the
Reinsurer, or if the requirements for automatic reinsurance are not
met and the Ceding Company applies for facultative reinsurance with
the Reinsurer, then the Ceding Company must submit to the Reinsurer
all the papers relating to the insurability of each life for
facultative reinsurance.
2. For applications for facultative reinsurance, Ceding Company will send
copies of all of the papers relating to the insurability of each life
to the Reinsurer. After the Reinsurer has examined the request, the
Reinsurer will promptly notify the Ceding Company of the underwriting
offer subject to additional requirements or the final underwriting
offer. The final underwriting offer on the risk will automatically
terminate upon the earlier of the withdrawal of the application or 120
days from the date of the final offer, unless accepted earlier.
3. Notwithstanding the above, if the requirements for automatic
reinsurance are met except that the face amount of insurance applied
for is greater than the Automatic Issue Limit, but does not exceed the
Auto Process Limit, then the Ceding Company will submit to the Lead
Reinsurer,(as designated in Schedule A), all papers relating to the
insurability of each life. The Lead Reinsurer
<PAGE>
shall review the papers to determine if the risk should be reinsured
by the Pool, and, if so, on what basis. The Lead Reinsurer shall
provide Ceding Company with a response within 24 hours of receipt of
the papers. Approval of the Lead Reinsurer shall be binding on all
other Pool members. This process shall be known as Automatic
Processing and subject to the limitations in Exhibit II.
C. Basis of Reinsurance
Reinsurance under this Agreement will be on the basis as stated in Schedule
B.
D. Policy Forms.
When requested, the Ceding Company will furnish the Reinsurer with a copy
of each policy, rider, rate book, and applicable sales or marketing
material which applies to the life insurance reinsured hereunder.
ARTICLE III
LIABILITY
A. The Reinsurer's liability for automatic reinsurance will begin
simultaneously with the Ceding Company's liability except for those risks
which qualify for automatic reinsurance but are submitted on a facultative
basis.
B. The Reinsurer's liability for facultative reinsurance will begin
simultaneously with the Ceding Company's liability once the Reinsurer has
accepted the application for facultative reinsurance and the Ceding Company
has accepted the offer.
C. In no event shall the reinsurance be in force and binding if the issuance
and delivery of such insurance constituted the doing of business in a
jurisdiction in which the ceding company was not properly licensed.
D. The Reinsurer's liability for reinsurance on each risk will terminate when
the Ceding Company's liability terminates.
E. The liability of each pool member shall be separate and not joint with the
other pool members.
F. Payment of reinsurance premiums is a condition precedent to the Reinsurer's
liability.
<PAGE>
G. The Reinsurer shall establish reserves on Reinsurer's portion of the policy
on the reserve basis specified in Schedule B.
<PAGE>
ARTICLE IV
REINSURANCE PREMIUMS
A. Computation.
Premiums for reinsurance under this Agreement will be computed as described
in Exhibit I.
B. Premium Accounting.
1. Payment of Reinsurance Premiums.
For automatic and facultative reinsurance, following the close of each
calendar month, the Ceding Company will send the Reinsurer a statement
and a listing of new business, changes and terminations.
If a net reinsurance premium balance is payable to the Reinsurer, the
Ceding Company will forward this balance within (60) sixty days after
the close of each month.
If a net reinsurance premium balance is payable to the Ceding Company,
the balance due will be subtracted from the reinsurance premium
payable by Ceding Company for the current month and any remaining
balance due the Ceding Company shall be paid by the Reinsurer within
(60) sixty days after the Ceding Company submits the statement.
2. Non-Payment of Premium
If reinsurance premiums are delinquent, the Reinsurer has the right to
terminate the reinsurance risks on those policies listed on the
delinquent monthly statement by giving the Ceding Company ninety days'
advance written notice. If the delinquent premiums have not been paid
as of the close of the ninety-day period, the Reinsurer's liability
will terminate for the risks described in the delinquency notice.
Regardless of the termination, the Ceding Company will continue to be
liable to the Reinsurer for all unpaid reinsurance premiums earned.
3. Reinstatement
<PAGE>
The Ceding Company may reinstate the risks terminated due to non
payment of reinsurance premium within sixty days after the effective
date of termination by paying the unpaid reinsurance premiums for the
risks in force prior to the termination. However, the Reinsurer will
not be liable for any claim incurred between the date of termination
and reinstatement. The effective date of reinstatement will be the
date the required back premiums are received.
4. Currency
The reinsurance premiums and benefits payable under this Agreement
will be payable in the lawful money of the United States.
5. Detailed Listing
The Ceding Company will send the Reinsurer a detailed listing of all
reinsurance in force as of the close of the immediately preceding
calendar year.
6. Guaranteed Rates
For technical reasons relating to the uncertain status of deficiency
reserve requirements by the various state insurance departments, the
life reinsurance rates cannot be guaranteed for more than one year.
On all reinsurance ceded at these rates, however, the Reinsurer
anticipates continuing to accept premiums on the basis of the rates
shown in Exhibit I.
ARTICLE V
OVERSIGHTS
If there is an unintentional oversight or misunderstanding in the administration
of this Agreement by Ceding Company or Reinsurer, it can be corrected provided
the correction takes place within a reasonable time after the oversight or
misunderstanding is first discovered. Both Ceding Company and the Reinsurer
will be restored to the position they would have occupied had the oversight or
misunderstanding not occurred.
<PAGE>
ARTICLE VI
CHANGES, REDUCTIONS AND TERMINATIONS
A. Replacement or Change
If there is a contractual change or non-contractual replacement of the
insurance reinsured under this Agreement where full underwriting evidence
according to the Ceding Company's regular underwriting rules is not
required, the insurance may continue to be reinsured with the Reinsurer
provided it meets the minimum reinsurance cession amount stated in Schedule
A. If a non-contractual change is requested on a facultatively reinsured
policy, the Reinsurer must consent to the change.
B. Increases or Decreases
1. If the policy face amount of a risk reinsured automatically under this
Agreement increases and:
a. The increase is subject to new underwriting evidence, then the
provisions of Article Ii, Section A, shall apply to the increase
in reinsurance.
b. The increase is not subject to new underwriting evidence, then
Reinsurer will accept automatically the increase in reinsurance
but not to exceed the automatic binding limit.
2. If the policy face amount increases, the Ceding Company's retention
will be filled first, then any remaining risk of the increase will be
ceded to the Reinsurer as of the effective date of the increase. If
the policy face amount is reduced, the reinsurance will be reduced
first, thereby maintaining the Ceding Company's retention. Reinsurer
will refund to Ceding Company all unearned reinsurance premiums not
including policy fees, less applicable allowances, arising from
reductions, terminations and changes as described in this Article.
3. In the event of a reduction in the face amount of a policy which was
ceded facultatively, the Reinsurer's percentage of the reduced face
amount should be the same percentage of the initial reinsurance ceded.
4. Increases in face amount of policies reinsured on a facultative basis,
will be submitted to the Reinsurer for acceptance.
<PAGE>
C. Reduction in Retained Coverage
If any portion of the aggregate insurance retained by Ceding Company on an
individual life reduces or terminates, any reinsurance under this Agreement
based on the same life may also be reduced or terminated. Ceding Company
will reduce the reinsurance by applying the retention limits which were in
effect at the time each policy was issued. Ceding Company will not be
required to retain an amount in excess of its regular retention limit for
the age, mortality rating and risk classification at the time of issue for
any policy on which reinsurance is being reduced.
The reinsurance to be terminated or reduced will be determined by
chronological order in which the reinsurance was first reinsured, thereby
reducing or terminating the oldest risks first.
D. Multiple Reinsurers
If a risk is shared by more than one reinsurer, Reinsurer's percentage of
any increased or reduced reinsurance will be the same as its initial
percentage of the reinsurance for that risk.
E. Termination
If the policy for a risk reinsured under this Agreement is terminated, the
reinsurance for the risk involved will be terminated on the effective date
of termination.
F. Facultative
On facultative reinsurance, if Ceding Company wishes to reduce the
mortality rating, this reduction will be subject to and reinsured under the
facultative provisions of this Agreement.
ARTICLE VII
INCREASE IN RETENTION
A. If the Ceding Company should increase the retention limits as listed in
Exhibit II, prompt written notice of the increase must be given to the
Reinsurer.
B. In the event of an increase in retention, the Ceding Company will have the
option of recapturing the reinsurance under this Agreement when the
retention limit increases. The Ceding Company may exercise its option to
<PAGE>
recapture by giving written notice to the Reinsurer within ninety days
after the effective date of the increase.
C. If the Ceding Company exercises its option to recapture, then
1. The Ceding Company must reduce the reinsurance on each risk on which
the Ceding Company retained the maximum retention limit that was in
effect at the time the reinsurance was ceded to the Reinsurer.
2. No recapture will be made to reinsurance on a risk if (a) the Ceding
Company retained a special retention limit less than the maximum
retention limit in effect at the time the reinsurance was ceded to the
Reinsurer, or if (b) the Ceding Company did not retain insurance on
the risk.
3. The Ceding Company must increase its total amount of insurance on the
risk up to the new retention limit by reducing the reinsurance. If a
risk is shared by more than one reinsurer, the Reinsurer's percentage
of the reduced reinsurance will be the same as the initial percentage
on the individual risk.
4. Upon increasing the retention limit, the reduction in reinsurance will
become effective on the next annual premium anniversary of those
policies that have been inforce for at least ten (10) years.
ARTICLE VIII
REINSTATEMENT
If an insurance policy lapses for nonpayment of premium and is reinstated under
the Ceding Company's terms and rules, the reinsurance will be reinstated by the
Reinsurer as follows:
A. Automatic Cases:
The Ceding Company must pay the Reinsurer all back reinsurance premiums in
the same manner as the Ceding Company received insurance premiums under the
policy. When the policy is reinstated by the Ceding Company, the
reinsurance will be automatically reinstated.
B. Facultative Cases:
If the Ceding Company requires reinstatement evidence of insurability, the
<PAGE>
Ceding Company will submit it to the Reinsurer for approval. In such
cases, the Reinsurer's approval is required for the reinsurance to be
reinstated. Upon the Reinsurer's approval, the Ceding Company must pay the
Reinsurer all back reinsurance premiums in the same manner as the Ceding
Company received insurance premium under the policy.
ARTICLE IX
EXPENSES
The Ceding Company must pay the expense of all medical examinations, inspection
fees and other charges in connection with the issuance of the insurance.
ARTICLE X
CLAIMS
A. Liability
The Reinsurer's liability for the insurance benefits reinsured under this
Agreement will be the same as the Ceding Company's liability for such
benefits. All reinsurance claim settlements will be subject to the terms
and conditions of the particular contract under which the Ceding Company is
liable.
B. Notification
When the Ceding Company is advised of a claim, the Reinsurer must be
notified promptly.
C. Claim Payment
1. Automatic Reinsurance on a Risk
If a claim is made on a risk reinsured automatically under this
Agreement and is not contested by the Ceding Company, Reinsurer will
abide by the issue as it is settled by the Ceding Company. Copies of
proofs or other written matters relating to any claim reimbursements
under this Agreement shall be furnished to the Reinsurer upon written
request. The Ceding Company will receive payment of the reinsurance
proceeds from the Reinsurer when the Ceding Company makes the
settlement of the policy proceeds and delivers a copy of the proof of
death, check copy or
<PAGE>
proof of payment and the claimant's statement to the Reinsurer.
2. Facultative Reinsurance on a Risk
If a claim is made on a risk reinsured facultatively under this
Agreement, the Ceding Company shall submit to Reinsurer all
relevant and/or requested documents and papers related to the
claim along with Ceding Company's recommendation. Ceding Company
shall then wait five days from the date of mailing during which
time Reinsurer shall have the opportunity to advise Ceding
Company of its consent or disagreement with the recommendation.
In the event Reinsurer does not contact Ceding Company within the
five day period, Reinsurer shall be deemed to have approved the
recommendation and Ceding Company shall be authorized to act
accordingly. The Ceding Company will receive payment of the
reinsurance proceeds from Reinsurer when Ceding Company makes the
settlement of the policy proceeds and delivers proof of payment
to the Reinsurer.
3. Payment of Reinsurance Proceeds
Payment of life reinsurance proceeds will be made in a single sum
regardless of the Ceding Company's mode of settlement with the
payee.
D. Contested Claims
The Ceding Company must promptly notify the Reinsurer of any intent to
contest a claim reinsured under this Agreement or to assert defenses. If
the Ceding Company's contest of such claim results in the increase or
reduction of liability, the Reinsurer will share in this increase or
reduction. The Reinsurer's share of the increase or decrease shall be
proportional to their share of the met amount at risk on the date of death
of the insured.
If the Reinsurer should decline to participate in the contest or assertion
of defenses, the Reinsurer will then release all of the liability by paying
the Ceding Company the full amount of reinsurance and not sharing in any
subsequent increase or reduction in liability.
E. Misstatement of Age or Sex
If the amount of insurance provided by the policy or policies reinsured
under this Agreement is increased or reduced because of misstatement of age
or sex established after the death of the insured, the Reinsurer will share
with the Ceding Company in this increase or reduction.
<PAGE>
F. Routine Expenses
The Ceding Company will pay the routine expenses incurred in connection
with settling claims. These expenses may include compensation of agent and
employees and the cost of routine investigations such as inspection
reports.
G. Non-Routine Expenses
The Reinsurer will share with the Ceding Company all expenses that are not
routine. Expenses that are not routine are those directly incurred in
connection with the contest or the possibility of a contest of a claim or
the assertion of defenses, including legal expenses. The expenses will be
shared in proportion to the net amount at risk for the Ceding Company and
Reinsurer. However, if the Reinsurer has released the liability under
Section D of this Article, the Reinsurer will not share in any expenses
incurred after the date of the Reinsurer's release.
H. Contestable Period
If, during the contestable period, Ceding Company is notified of the death
of the first joint insured, the Ceding Company will investigate the case.
ARTICLE XI
EXTRA-CONTRACTUAL DAMAGES
In no event will the Reinsurer have any liability for any extra-contractual
damages which are awarded against the Ceding Company as a result of acts,
omissions or course of conduct committed by the Ceding Company in connection
with the insurance reinsured under this Agreement.
The Reinsurer does recognize that circumstances may arise under which the
Reinsurer, in equity, should share, to the extent permitted by law, in paying
certain assessed damages. Such circumstances are difficult to define in
advance, but involve those situations in which the Reinsurer was an active party
in the act, omission or course of conduct which ultimately results in the
assessment of such damages. The extent of such sharing is dependent on good
faith assessment of culpability in each case, but all factors being equal, the
division of any such assessment would be in the proportion of total risk
accepted by each party for the plan of insurance involved.
ARTICLE XII
<PAGE>
INSPECTION OF RECORDS
Each party will have the right, at any reasonable time and upon reasonable
notice, to inspect the other party's books and documents which relate to
reinsurance under this Agreement.
ARTICLE XIII
DAC TAX
SECTION 1.848-2(g) (8) ELECTION
A. The Reinsurer and the Ceding Company hereby agree to the following pursuant
to section 1.848-2(g)(8) of the Income Tax Regulations issued December 1992
under Section 848 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. This
election shall be effective for 1993 and for all subsequent taxable years
for which this Agreement remains in effect.
B. The terms used in this Article are defined by reference to Regulation
Section 1.848-2 in effect December 1992.
C. The party with net positive consideration for this Agreement for each
taxable year will capitalize specified policy acquisition expenses with
respect to this Agreement without regard to the general deduction
limitation of section 848(c)(1).
D. Both parties agree to exchange information pertaining to the amount of net
consideration under this Agreement each year to ensure consistency or as
otherwise required by the Internal Revenue Service.
E. The Ceding Company will submit to the Reinsurer by May 1 of each year a
schedule of the calculation of the net consideration for the preceding
calendar year. This schedule of calculations will be accompanied by a
statement signed by an officer of the Ceding Company stating that such net
consideration will be reported in the tax return for the preceding calendar
year.
F. The Reinsurer may contest such calculation by providing an alternative
calculation to the Ceding Company in writing within 30 days of receipt of
Ceding Company's calculation. If the Reinsurer does not notify the Ceding
Company, Reinsurer will report the net consideration as determined by the
Ceding Company in the tax return for the preceding calendar year.
G. If the Reinsurer contests the Ceding Company's calculation of the net
consideration, both parties will act in good faith to reach an agreement as
<PAGE>
to the correct amount within thirty (30) days of the date the Reinsurer
submits their alternative calculation. If both parties reach agreement on
an amount of net consideration, both parties shall report such amount in
their respective tax returns for the previous calendar year.
ARTICLE XIV
INSOLVENCY
A. Insolvency of Reinsurer
If the Reinsurer becomes insolvent as determined by the Department of
Insurance responsible for such determination, amounts due the Reinsurer
will be paid net of the terms of this Agreement and directly to the
liquidator, receiver, or statutory successor without decrease. All
reinsurance ceded under this Agreement may be recaptured by the Ceding
Company without charge or penalty as of the date Reinsurer fails to meet
its obligations under this Agreement.
B. Insolvency of Ceding Company
If Hartford Life Insurance Company, Hartford Life and Accident Insurance
Company or Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company should become
insolvent, all reinsurance under this Agreement covering risks ceded by
that particular company will be payable by Reinsurer directly to that
Company's liquidator, receiver or statutory successor, on the basis of the
liability of that Company under the policy or policies reinsured and
without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company. However, in
the event of such insolvency, the liquidator, receiver or statutory
successor will give written notice of a pending claim against Ceding
Company on the reinsured policy. It will do so within a reasonable time
after the claim is filed in the insolvency proceedings. During the
pendency of such a claim, Reinsurer may investigate the claim and may, at
its own expense, interpose any defense or defenses which it may deem
available to the insolvent Company, its liquidator, receiver or statutory
successor, in the proceedings where the claim is to be adjudicated.
The expense thus incurred by Reinsurer will be chargeable against the
insolvent Company, subject to court approval, as part of the expense of
liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit which may
accrue to the insolvent Company solely as a result of the defense
undertaken by Reinsurer.
Where two or more reinsurers are involved in the same claim and a majority
in interest elect to interpose defense to the claim, the expense
<PAGE>
will be apportioned in accord with the terms of the reinsurance agreement
as though the expense had been incurred by the insolvent Company.
It is agreed that the insolvency of any one of the Hartford Life Companies
shall not affect this Agreement as it applies to the remaining solvent
companies.
ARTICLE XV
OFFSET
Any debts or credits, matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated,
regardless of when they arose or were incurred, in favor of or against either
the Ceding Company or the Reinsurer with respect to this Agreement or with
respect to any other claim of one party against the other are deemed mutual
debts or credits, as the case may be, and shall be set off, and only the balance
shall be allowed or paid. In the event the Ceding Company becomes insolvent,
offsets shall be allowed in accordance with applicable law.
ARTICLE XVI
ARBITRATION
Any disagreement, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this
Agreement between the Reinsurer and any one of the Hartford Life Companies will
be settled by arbitration. There will be three arbitrators chosen among current
or retired officers of life insurance companies other than parties or their
affiliates. Each party to the dispute will appoint one of the arbitrators and
these two arbitrators will select the third arbitrator. In the event that
either party should fail to choose an arbitrator within 30 days following a
written request by the other party to do so, the requesting party may choose two
arbitrators who shall in turn choose a third arbitrator before entering upon
arbitration. If the two arbitrators fail to agree upon the selection of a third
arbitrator within 30 days following their appointment, each arbitrator shall
nominate three candidates within 10 days thereafter, two of whom the other shall
decline, and the decision shall be made by drawing lots.
Arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration
Rules of the American Arbitration Association which will be in effect on the
date of delivery of demand for arbitration. The arbitrators will base their
decision on the terms and conditions of this Agreement plus, as necessary, on
the customs and practices of the insurance and reinsurance industry rather than
solely on a strict interpretation of the applicable law. The site of any
arbitration will be determined by a majority vote of the arbitrators. All
expenses and fees of the
<PAGE>
arbitrations will be borne equally by the parties unless otherwise decreed by
the arbitrators.
The award agreed to by a majority of the arbitrators will be final and binding
and there will be no appeal from their decision. Judgment may be entered upon
it in any court having jurisdiction.
ARTICLE XVII
TERMINATION
A. Each Hartford Life Insurance Company and the Reinsurer may terminate this
Agreement as it applies to the business of each by giving (90) ninety days'
written notice of termination. The day the notice is deposited in the
mail addressed to the Home Office, or to an Officer of each party, will be
the first day of the (90) ninety-day period.
B. During the (90) ninety-day period, this Agreement will continue to be in
force between the terminating parties.
C. After termination, the terminating parties shall remain liable under the
terms of this Agreement for all automatic reinsurance which becomes
effective prior to termination of this Agreement. After termination the
terminating parties shall be liable for all automatic and facultative
reinsurance which has an application date on or before the effective date
of the termination.
D. Termination by one or two of the Hartford Life Companies shall not affect
this Agreement as it relates to the non-terminating Hartford Life Company
(ies).
ARTICLE XVIII

BASIS OF REINSURANCE
LIFE PRODUCTS Life reinsurance will be on the yearly renewable term (YRT)
basis for the amount at risk on the portion of the policy
reinsured by Reinsurer. The amount at risk on a policy
shall be the death benefit of the policy less the amount
retained by the Ceding Company, less the cash value under
the policy. The basis for determining Reinsurer's liability
shall be the amount at risk used for computation of the
reinsurance premium.

agreement to a different last survivor plan, for the purpose
of allowing the policyowner premium flexibility (UL) or
potentially higher investment return (VL), will be reinsured
hereunder as NEW BUSINESS at first year reinsurance rates if
the new plan has been fully underwritten and has new
contestable and suicide exclusion periods. Otherwise, the
reinsurance rates will be point-in-scale.
RESERVE BASIS Reserves are calculated according to the applicable CRVM
methodology, interest rate and mortality table. The
mortality tables used are male/female, smoker distinct, age
last birthday and ultimate. The mortality rates are

<PAGE>
ARTICLE I. FUND SHARES
1.1. The Fund and the Underwriter agree to make available for purchase
by the Company shares of the Portfolios and shall execute orders placed for each
Account on a daily basis at the net asset value next computed after receipt by
the Fund or its designee of such order. For purposes of this Section 1.1, the
Company shall be the designee of the Fund and Underwriter for receipt of such
orders from each Account and receipt by such designee shall constitute receipt
by the Fund; provided that the Fund receives notice of such order by 10:00 a.m.
(local time where the Fund processes orders) on the next following Business Day.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall use its best efforts to
provide the Fund with notice of such orders by 9:15 a.m. on the next following
Business Day. "Business Day" shall mean any day on which the New York Stock
Exchange is open for trading and on which the Fund calculates its net asset
value pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, as set
forth in the Fund's prospectus and statement of additional information.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Trustees of the Fund (hereinafter
the "Board") may refuse to permit the Fund to sell shares of any Portfolio to
any person, or suspend or terminate the offering of shares of any Portfolio if
such action is required by law or by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction
or is, in the sole discretion of the Board acting in good faith and in light of
their fiduciary duties under federal and any applicable state laws, necessary
in the best interests of the shareholders of such Portfolio.
1.2. The Fund and the Underwriter agree that shares of the Fund will
be sold only to Participating Insurance Companies for their Variable Insurance
Products. No shares of any Portfolio will be sold to the general public.
1.3. The Fund will not make its shares available for purchase by any
insurance company or separate account unless an agreement containing provisions
which afford the Company substantially the same protections currently provided
by Sections 2.1, 2.4, 2.9, 3.4 and Article VII of this Agreement is in effect to
govern such sales.
1.4. The Fund and the Underwriter agree to redeem for cash, on the
Company's request, any full or fractional shares of the Fund held by the
Company, executing such requests on a daily basis at the net asset value next
computed after receipt by the Fund or its designee of the request for
redemption. For purposes of this Section 1.4, the Company shall be the designee
of the Fund for receipt of requests for redemption from each Account and receipt
by such designee shall constitute receipt by the Fund; provided that the
Underwriter receives notice of such request for redemption on the next following
Business Day in accordance with the timing rules described in Section 1.1.
1.5. The Company agrees that purchases and redemptions of Portfolio
shares offered by the then current prospectus of the Fund shall be made in
accordance with the provisions of such prospectus. The Accounts of the Company,
under which amounts may be invested in the Fund are listed on Schedule A
attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, as such
5
<PAGE>
Schedule A may be amended from time to time by mutual written agreement of
all of the parties hereto. The Company will give the Fund and the Underwriter
concurrent written notice of its intention to make available in the future,
as a funding vehicle under the Contracts, any other investment company.
1.6. The Company will place separate orders to purchase or redeem
shares of each Portfolio. Each order shall describe the net amount of shares and
dollar amount of each Portfolio to be purchased or redeemed. In the event of net
purchases, the Company shall pay for Portfolio shares on the next Business Day
after an order to purchase Portfolio shares is made in accordance with the
provisions of Section 1.1 hereof. Payment shall be in federal funds transmitted
by wire. In the event of net redemptions, the Portfolio shall pay the redemption
proceeds in federal funds transmitted by wire on the next Business Day after an
order to redeem Portfolio shares is made in accordance with the provisions of
Section 1.4 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the payment of redemption
proceeds on the next Business Day would require the Portfolio to dispose of
Portfolio securities or otherwise incur substantial additional costs, and if the
Portfolio has determined to settle redemption transactions for all shareholders
on a delayed basis, proceeds shall be wired to the Company within seven (7) days
and the Portfolio shall notify in writing the person designated by the Company
as the recipient for such notice of such delay by 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the
same Business Day that the Company transmits the redemption order to the
Portfolio.
1.7. Issuance and transfer of the Fund's shares will be by book entry
only. Share certificates will not be issued to the Company or any Account.
Shares ordered from the Fund will be recorded in an appropriate title for each
Account or the appropriate subaccount of each Account.
1.8. The Underwriter shall use its best efforts to furnish same day
notice by 6:00 p.m. in its local time zone (by wire or telephone, followed by
written confirmation) to the Company of any dividends or capital gain
distributions payable on the Fund's shares. The Company hereby elects to receive
all such dividends and capital gain distributions as are payable on the
Portfolio shares in additional shares of that Portfolio. The Company reserves
the right to revoke this election and to receive all such dividends and capital
gain distributions in cash. The Fund shall notify the Company of the number of
shares so issued as payment of such dividends and distributions.
1.9. The Underwriter shall make the net asset value per share of each
Portfolio available to the Company on a daily basis as soon as reasonably
practical after the net asset value per share is calculated and shall use its
best efforts to make such net asset value per share available by 6:00 p.m.
Eastern Time. In the event that Underwriter is unable to meet the 6:00 p.m. time
stated immediately above, then Underwriter shall provide the Company with
additional time to notify Underwriter of purchase or redemption orders pursuant
to Sections 1.1 and 1.4, respectively, above. Such additional time shall be
equal to the additional time that Underwriter takes to make the net asset values
available to the Company; provided, however, that notification
6
<PAGE>
must be made by 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the Business Day such order is to
be executed, regardless of when net asset valuer is made available.
1.10. If Underwriter provides materially incorrect share net asset
value information through no fault of the Company, the Company shall be entitled
to an adjustment with respect to the Fund shares purchased or redeemed to
reflect the correct net asset value per share. The determination of the
materiality of any net asset value pricing error shall be based on the SEC's
recommended guidelines regarding such errors. The correction of any such errors
shall be made at the Company level pursuant to the SEC's recommended guidelines.
Any material error in the calculation or reporting of net asset value per share,
dividend or capital gain information shall be reported promptly upon discovery
to the Company.

times, the Fund will comply with Section 817(h) of the Code and Treasury
Regulation 1.817-5, relating to the diversification requirements for variable

grace period afforded by Regulation 817-5.
ARTICLE VII. POTENTIAL CONFLICTS
7.1. The Board will monitor the Fund for the existence of any material
irreconcilable conflict between the interests of the contract owners of all
separate accounts investing in the Fund. An irreconcilable material conflict may
arise for a variety of reasons, including: (a) an action by any state insurance
regulatory authority; (b) a change in applicable federal or state insurance,
tax, or securities laws or regulations, or a public ruling, private letter
ruling, no-action or interpretative letter, or any similar action by insurance,
tax, or securities regulatory authorities; (c) an administrative or judicial
decision in any relevant proceeding; (d) the manner in which the investments of
any Portfolio are being managed; (e) a difference in voting instructions given
by
12
<PAGE>
variable annuity contract owners and variable life insurance contract owners;
or (f) a decision by a Participating Insurance Company to disregard the
voting instructions of contract owners. The Board shall promptly inform the
Company if it determines that an irreconcilable material conflict exists and
the implications thereof.
7.2. The Company will report any potential or existing material
irreconcilable conflict of which it is aware to the Board. The Company will
assist the Board in carrying out its responsibilities under the Shared Funding
Exemptive Order, by providing the Board with all information reasonably
necessary for the Board to consider any issues raised. This includes, but is not
limited to, an obligation by the Company to inform the Board whenever contract
owner voting instructions are disregarded.
7.3. If it is determined by a majority of the Board, or a majority of
its disinterested trustees, that a material irreconcilable conflict exists, the
Company and other Participating Insurance Companies shall, at their expense and
to the extent reasonably practicable (as determined by a majority of the
disinterested trustees), take whatever steps are necessary to remedy or
eliminate the irreconcilable material conflict, up to and including: (1)
withdrawing the assets allocable to some or all of the separate accounts from
the Fund or any Portfolio and reinvesting such assets in a different investment
medium, including (but not limited to) another Portfolio of the Fund, or
submitting the question whether such segregation should be implemented to a vote
of all affected Contract owners and, as appropriate, segregating the assets of
any appropriate group (i.e., annuity contract owners, life insurance policy
owners, or variable contract owners of one or more Participating Insurance
Companies) that votes in favor of such segregation, or offering to the affected
contract owners the option of making such a change; and (2) establishing a new
registered management investment company or managed separate account. No charge
or penalty will be imposed as a result of such withdrawal. The Company agrees
that it bears the responsibility to take remedial action in the event of a Board
determination of an irreconcilable material conflict and the cost of such
remedial action, and these responsibilities will be carried out with a view only
to the interests of Contract owners.
7.4. If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because of a
decision by the Company to disregard contract owner voting instructions and that
decision represents a minority position or would preclude a majority vote, the
Company may be required, at the Fund's election, to withdraw the affected
Account's investment in the Fund and terminate this Agreement with respect to
such Account (at the Company's expense); provided, however that such withdrawal
and termination shall be limited to the extent required by the foregoing
material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a majority of the
disinterested members of the Board. No charge or penalty will be imposed as a
result of such withdrawal. The Company agrees that it bears the responsibility
to take remedial action in the event of a Board determination of an
irreconcilable material conflict and the cost of such remedial action, and these
responsibilities will be carried out with a view only to the interests of
Contract owners.
13
<PAGE>
7.5. For purposes of Sections 7.3 through 7.4 of this Agreement, a
majority of the disinterested members of the Board shall determine whether
any proposed action adequately remedies any irreconcilable material conflict,
but in no event will the Fund be required to establish a new funding medium
for the Contracts. The Company shall not be required by Section 7.3 through
7.4 to establish a new funding medium for the Contracts if an offer to do so
has been declined by vote of a majority of Contract owners materially
adversely affected by the irreconcilable material conflict.
7.6. If and to the extent that Rule 6e-2 and Rule 6e-3(T) are amended,
or Rule 6e-3 is adopted, to provide exemptive relief from any provision of the
1940 Act or the rules promulgated thereunder with respect to mixed or shared
funding (as defined in the Shared Funding Exemptive Order) on terms and
conditions materially different from those contained in the Shared Funding
Exemptive Order, then the Fund and/or the Participating Insurance Companies, as
appropriate, shall take such steps as may be necessary to comply with Rules 6e-2
and 6e-3(T), as amended, and Rule 6e-3, as adopted, to the extent such rules are
applicable.
7.7 Each of the Company and the Adviser shall at least annually
submit to the Board such reports, materials or data as the Board may reasonably
request so that the Board may fully carry out the obligations imposed upon them
by the provisions hereof and in the Shared Funding Exemptive Order, and said
reports, materials and data shall be submitted more frequently if deemed
appropriate by the Board. All reports received by the Board of potential or
existing conflicts, and all Board action with regard to determining the
existence of a conflict, notifying Participating Insurance Companies of a
conflict, and determining whether any proposed action adequately remedies a
conflict, shall be properly recorded in the minutes of the Board or other
appropriate records, and such minutes or other records shall be made available
to the Securities and Exchange Commission upon request.

Party's reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement.

(including amounts paid in settlement with the written consent of the Adviser)
or litigation (including legal and other expenses) to which the Indemnified
Parties may become subject under any statute, at common law or otherwise,

SCHEDULE C
PROXY VOTING PROCEDURES
The following is a list of procedures and corresponding responsibilities for the
handling of proxies and voting instructions relating to the Fund. The defined
terms herein shall have the meanings assigned in the Participation Agreement
except that the term "Company" shall also include the department or third party
assigned by the Company to perform the steps delineated below.
1. The proxy proposals are given to the Company by the Fund as early
as possible before the date set by the Fund for the shareholder
meeting to enable the Company to consider and prepare for the
solicitation of voting instructions from owners of the Contracts and
to facilitate the establishment of tabulation procedures. At this time
the Fund will inform the Company of the Record, Mailing and Meeting
dates. This will be done verbally approximately two months before
meeting.
2. Promptly after the Record Date, the Company will perform a "tape
run," or other activity, which will generate the names, address and
number of units which are attributed to each contract
owner/policyholder (the "Customer") as of the Record Date. Allowance
should be made for account adjustments made after this date that could
affect the status of the Customers' accounts as of the Record Date.
Note: The number of proxy statements is determined by the activities
described in Step #2. The Company will use its best efforts to call in
the number of Customers to the Fund, as soon as possible, but no later
than two weeks after the Record Date.
3. The Fund's Annual Report must be sent to each Customer by the
Company either before or together with the Customers' receipt of
voting instruction solicitation material. The Fund will provide the
last Annual Report to the Company pursuant to the terms of Section 3.3
of the Agreement to which this Schedule relates.
4. The text and format for the Voting Instruction Cards ("Cards" or
"Card") is provided to the Company by the Fund. The Company, at its
expense, shall produce and personalize the Voting Instruction Cards.
The Fund or its affiliate must approve the Card before it is printed.
Allow approximately 2-4 business days for printing information on the
Cards. Information commonly found on the Cards includes:
a. name (legal name as found on account registration)
b. address
c. fund or account number
d. coding to state number of units (or equivalent shares)
e. individual Card number for use in tracking and verification of votes
(already on Cards as printed by the Fund).
29
<PAGE>
5. During this time, the Fund will develop, produce, and the Fund
will pay for the Notice of Proxy and the Proxy Statement (one
document). Printed and folded notices and statements will be sent to
Company for insertion into envelopes (envelopes and return envelopes
are provided and paid for by the Company). Contents of envelope sent
to Customers by the Company will include:
a. Voting Instruction Card(s)
b. One proxy notice and statement (one document)
c. return envelope (postage pre-paid by Company) addressed to the
Company or its tabulation agent
d. "urge buck slip" - optional, but recommended. (This is a small,
single sheet of paper that requests Customers to vote as quickly
as possible and that their vote is important. One copy will be
supplied by the Fund.)
e. cover letter - optional, supplied by Company and reviewed and
approved in advance by the Fund.
6. The above contents should be received by the Company
approximately 3-5 business days before mail date. Individual in
charge at Company reviews and approves the contents of the mailing
package to ensure correctness and completeness. Copy of this approval
sent to the Fund.
7. Package mailed by the Company at the Fund's expense.
*The Fund must allow at least a 15-day solicitation time to the
Company as the shareowner. (A 5-week period is recommended.)
Solicitation time is calculated as calendar days from (but not
including), the meeting, counting backwards.
8. Collection and tabulation of Cards begins. Tabulation usually
takes place in another department or another vendor depending on
process used. An often used procedure is to sort Cards on arrival by
proposal into vote categories of all yes, no, or mixed replies, and to
begin data entry.
Note: Postmarks are not generally needed. A need for postmark
information would be due to an insurance company's internal procedure
and has not been required by the Fund in the past.
9. Signatures on Card checked against legal name on account
registration which was printed on the Card.
Note: For example, if the account registration is under "John A.
Smith, Trustee," then that is the exact legal name to be printed on
the Card and is the signature needed on the Card.
30
<PAGE>
10. If Cards are mutilated, or for any reason are illegible or are
not signed properly, they are sent back to Customer with an
explanatory letter and a new Card and return envelope. The mutilated
or illegible Card is disregarded and considered to be not received for
purposes of vote tabulation. Any Cards that have been "kicked out"
(e.g., mutilated, illegible) of the procedure are "hand verified,"
(i.e., examined as to why they did not complete the system). Any
questions on those Cards are usually remedied individually.
11. There are various control procedures used to ensure proper
tabulation of votes and accuracy of that tabulation. The most
prevalent is to sort the Cards as they first arrive into categories
depending upon their vote; an estimate of how the vote is progressing
may then be calculated. If the initial estimates and the actual vote
do not coincide, then an internal audit of that vote should occur.
This may entail a recount.
12. The actual tabulation of votes is done in units (or equivalent
shares) which is then converted to shares. (It is very important that
the fund receives the tabulations stated in terms of a percentage and
the number of shares.) The Fund must review and approve tabulation
format.
13. Final tabulation in shares is verbally given by the Company to
the Fund on the morning of the meeting not later then 10:00 A.M.
Houston time. The Fund may request an earlier deadline if reasonable
and if required to calculate the vote in time for the meeting.
14. A Certification of Mailing and Authorization to Vote Shares will
be required from the Company as well as an original copy of the final
vote. The Fund will provide a standard form for each Certification.
15. The Company will be required to box and archive the Cards
received from the Customers. In the event that any vote is challenged
or if otherwise necessary for legal, regulatory, or accounting
purposes, the Fund will be permitted reasonable access to such Cards.
16. All approvals and "signing-off" may be done orally, but must
always be followed up in writing.

RE: ICMG REGISTERED VARIABLE LIFE SEPARATE ACCOUNT A
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
POST-EFFECTIVE AMENDMENT NO. 1
FILE NO. 333-60515
Dear Sir/Madam:
I have acted as General Counsel to Hartford Life Insurance Company (the
"Company"), a Connecticut insurance company, and ICMG Registered Variable Life
Separate Account A (the "Account") in connection with the registration of an
indefinite amount of securities in the form of group flexible premium variable
life insurance policies (the "Policies") with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. I have examined such
documents (including the Form S-6 Registration Statement) and reviewed such
questions of law as I considered necessary and appropriate, and on the basis of
such examination and review, it is my opinion that:
1. The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing as a stock
life insurance company under the laws of the State of Connecticut and is
duly authorized by the Insurance Department of the State of Connecticut to
issue the Policies.
2. The Account is a duly authorized and validly existing separate account
established pursuant to the provisions of Section 38a-433 of the
Connecticut Statutes.
3. To the extent so provided under the Policies, that portion of the assets of
the Account equal to the reserves and other contract liabilities with
respect to the Account will not be chargeable with liabilities arising out
of any other business that the Company may conduct.
4. The Policies, when issued as contemplated by the Form S-6 Registration
Statement, will constitute legal, validly issued and binding obligations of
the Company.

HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
DESCRIPTION OF TRANSFER AND REDEMPTION PROCEDURES
This document sets forth, as required by Rule 6e 3(T)(b)(12)(ii), the
administrative procedures that will be followed by Hartford Life Insurance
Company ("HL") in connection with the issuance of its group flexible premium
variable life insurance policy (the "Group Policy"), the transfer of assets
held thereunder, and the redemption by Owners of their interests in the
certificates (the "Certificates") issued under the Group Policies. The
document also describes the method that HL will use in adjusting the payments
and cash values when a Policy is exchanged for a fixed benefit insurance
policy pursuant to Rule 6e-3(T)(b)(13)(v)(B).
TRANSFER AND REDEMPTION PROCEDURES
I. PURCHASE AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
A. PREMIUM SCHEDULES AND UNDERWRITING STANDARDS
This Group Policy is a flexible premium policy. Premiums for the
Certificates will not be the same for all Owners. The amount of Initial
Premium is based upon the Insured's Age, premium class and the Initial
Face Amount of the Certificate. The Group Policies and Certificates
will be offered and sold pursuant to established underwriting standards
and in accordance with state insurance laws, which prohibit unfair
discrimination among Owners, but recognize that premiums must be based
upon factors such as age, health or occupation.
B. APPLICATION AND INITIAL PREMIUM PROCESSING
Upon receipt of a completed enrollment form, HL will follow certain
insurance underwriting (i.e., evaluation of risks) procedures designed
to determine whether the applicant is insurable. This process may
involve such verification procedures as medical examinations and may
require that further information be provided by the proposed Insured
before a determination can be made. A Certificate will not be issued
and consequently a Coverage Date established, until this underwriting
procedure has been completed.
If a premium is submitted with the enrollment form for a Certificate,
insurance coverage will begin on the Coverage Date. The Certificate
when issued will be effective from the date HL receives the Initial
Premium at its Customer Service Center.
If a premium is not paid with the enrollment form, insurance coverage
will begin and the Certificate will be effective on the later of the
date the
1
<PAGE>
underwriting determination is made or on the date the Initial
Premium is received.
C. PREMIUM ALLOCATION
In the enrollment form for a Certificate, the Owner can allocate
the initial premium among various Investment Divisions. Depending
upon applicable state law requirements, HL will allocate the entire
premium either to the Hartford Money Market Investment Division or
immediately among the Owner's chosen Investment Divisions. If premiums
are initially allocated to the Hartford Money Market Investment
Division, at a later date, the value of the Owner's interest therein
will be allocated among the Investment Divisions in accordance with the
owner's instructions in the enrollment form. An allocation to any one
Investment Division must be for 5% of Net Premiums or more, in whole
percentages.
D. POLICY LOANS
An Owner may obtain a cash Loan from HL, which is secured by the
Certificate. The aggregate amount of all Loans (including the currently
applied for Loan) may not exceed 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 a mechanism used to ensure that any
outstanding Debt remains fully secured by the policy values.
LOAN INTEREST
Interest will accrue daily on the Loan at the Adjustable Loan Interest
Rate indicated in the Certificate. The difference between the value of
the Loan Account and the Debt will be transferred on a Pro Rata Basis
from the Investment Divisions to the Loan Account on each Monthly
Deduction Date.
CREDITED INTEREST
Amounts in the Loan Account attributable to a particular Loan for Coverage
Years 1 thorough 10 will be credited with interest at a rate equal to the
Adjustable Loan Interest Rate, 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, minus .20%.
2
<PAGE>
LOAN REPAYMENTS
A Loan can be repaid in any part or in its entirety at any time.
The amount of Loan repayment will be deducted from the Loan Account and
will be allocated among the Investment Divisions in the same percentage
as Net Premiums are allocated as of the date of the Loan repayment.
TERMINATION DUE TO EXCESSIVE INDEBTEDNESS
If total Indebtedness equals or exceeds the Cash Surrender Value, the
Certificate will terminate 31 days after HL mails notice to the Owner's
last known address and that of any assignees of record. If sufficient
Loan repayment is not made by the end of the Grace 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 the outstanding Loan (i.e., the
Debt) will reduce the Death Proceeds and Cash Surrender Value otherwise
payable.
II. TRANSFER AMONG INVESTMENT DIVISIONS
The Separate Account currently has twenty-five Investment Divisions, each of
which invests in shares of an open-end diversified management investment
company registered with the Commission. At any time, the Owner may transfer
value among the Investment Divisions. We reserve the right at a future date
to limit the size of transfers and remaining balances and to limit the number
and frequency of transfers.
A transfer will take effect on the date the written request (or telephone
request) is received at HL unless a later date is designated in the request
for transfer. A transfer from the Hartford Money Market Investment Division
at the end of the right to examine period or a transfer arising because of a
substitution of securities by HL will not be considered a transfer.

II. "REDEMPTION" PROCEDURES: SURRENDER AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
A. SURRENDERS UNDER THE CERTIFICATE
At any time before the death of the Insured and while the Certificate is
in force, the Owner may completely surrender the Certificate by written
request. HL will pay the surrender payment, which will be the Certificate
Owner's Cash Surrender Value, within seven days after HL receives the
written request, unless payment is postponed pursuant to the relevant
provision of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
B. BENEFIT CLAIMS
As long as the Certificate remains in force, HL will usually pay the
Death Proceeds to the named Beneficiary within seven days after receipt
of due proof of death of the Insured unless the Certificate is
contested. Payment of the Death Proceeds may be postponed as permitted
pursuant to the relevant provisions of the Investment Company Act of
1940.
The Death Proceeds equal the Death Benefit under the Certificate less
any Debt outstanding under the Certificate. The Death Benefit will be
determined on the date of death of the Insured and is a function of the
Death Benefit option chosen by the Owner.
In lieu of payment of the Death Proceeds in a single sum, an election
may be made to apply all or a portion of the proceeds under one of the
fixed benefit settlement options described in the Certificate or a
combination of options. The election may be made by the Owner during
the Insured's lifetime. The Beneficiary may make or change an election
within 90 days of the death of the Insured, unless the Owner has made an
irrevocable election. The fixed benefit settlement options are subject
to the restrictions and limitations set forth in the Certificate.
C. CERTIFICATE LAPSE
The Certificate will terminate 61 days after a Monthly Deduction Date on
which the Cash Surrender Value is insufficient to pay charges due under
the Certificate. The 61-day period is the Grace Period. If sufficient
premium in not paid by the end of the Grace Period, the Certificate will
terminate without value. If the required premium to cover all
outstanding charges is not paid by the end of the Grace Period, the
Certificate will terminate.
4
<PAGE>
If the Certificate lapses, the Owner may reinstate the Certificate by
payment of a premium in an amount large enough to keep the coverage in
force for at least three (3) months following the date of reinstatement.
A request for reinstatement may be made at any time within three years
of lapse. If a Loan was outstanding at the time of lapse, HL will
require repayment of the Loan before permitting reinstatement or the
Loan will also be reinstated. In addition, HL reserves the right to
require satisfactory evidence of insurability.
D. POLICY LOANS

Exhibit.
