Re: Separate Account VUL of Integrity Life Insurance Company
Dear Sir or Madam:
This opinion is furnished in connection with the filing by Integrity Life
Insurance Company ("Integrity") of a Notice (the "Notice") pursuant to Rule
24f-2 (the "Rule") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 relating to the
registration by Integrity and its Separate Account VUL (also known as Separate
Account IN) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act") of an indefinite
number of units of interest (the "Units") of group variable life insurance
policies (the "Policies"). In reliance on the Rule, Units with an aggregate
sale price of $1,692,246 were issued in 1997 (the "1997 Units").
I have examined all such corporate records of Integrity and such other documents
and such laws as I consider appropriate as a basis for the opinion hereinafter
expressed. On the basis of such examination, it is my opinion that the Policies
under which the 1997 Units were issued, the registration of which the Notice
makes definite in number, are validly issued and binding obligations of
Integrity in accordance with their terms and are nonassessable.
Sincerely,
/s/ Kevin L. Howard
Kevin L. Howard
Assistant General Counsel
