                                    SUMMARY
 
A. CONTRACTS OFFERED
 
    Group  contracts are  offered for  issuance to  Employers to  allow Employee
participation and special tax treatment under Section 403(b) of the Code.
 
    The  contracts  available  with  respect  to  DC-II  are  limited  to  plans
established  and sponsored  by Employers  for their  Employees. The  contract is
normally issued to the Employer or to the trustee or custodian of the Employer's
Plan.
 
B. ACCUMULATION PERIOD UNDER THE CONTRACTS
 
    During the Accumulation  Period under the  contracts, Contributions made  by
the  Contract  Owner to  the  contracts are  used  to purchase  variable account
interests. Contributions allocated to purchase variable interests may, after the
deductions described hereafter, be invested in selected Sub-Accounts of DC-II.
 
C. CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGES
 
   
    No deduction  for  sales  expense is  made  at  the time  of  allocation  of
Contributions  to  the  contracts.  A deduction  for  contingent  deferred sales
charges is made if there is any surrender of contract values during the first  3
Participant  Contract Years. During the first 3 years, a maximum deduction of 5%
will be made against the full amount of any such surrender. Such charges will in
no event ever exceed 8.50% when applied  as a percentage against the sum of  all
Contributions  to a Participant's Individual Account.  The amount or term of the
contingent deferred  sales charge  may  be reduced  (see "Experience  Rating  of
Contracts", page 18).
    
 
   
    No  deduction for contingent deferred sales  charges will be made in certain
cases. (See  "Is  there ever  a  time when  the  sales charges  do  not  apply?"
commencing on page 17.)
    
 
   
    Hartford  Life reserves the right to limit any increase in the Contributions
made to a Participant's  Individual Account under any  contract to no more  than
three  times the total  Contributions made on behalf  of such Participant during
the initial 12 consecutive months following  the Date of Coverage. Increases  in
excess  of those described  will be accepted  only with the  consent of Hartford
Life and subject to the then current deductions being made under the contracts.
    
 
D. TRANSFER BETWEEN ACCOUNTS
 
   
    During the Accumulation Period a Participant may allocate monies held in the
Separate Account  among  the available  Sub-Accounts  of the  Separate  Account.
Currently there is no charge for transfers, but Hartford Life reserves the right
to  impose a fee  of up to $5.00  for each such transfer.  However, there may be
additional restrictions under certain circumstances. (See "May I transfer assets
between Sub-Accounts?" page 10.)
    
 
E. ANNUITY PERIOD UNDER THE CONTRACTS
 
   
    Contract values held with respect to Participant's Individual Accounts  with
respect to DC-II at the end of the Accumulation Period will, at the direction of
the Participant, be allocated to establish Annuitants' Accounts to provide Fixed
and/or  Variable Annuities under the contracts. (See "How are contributions made
to establish my Annuity account?" commencing on page 14.) However, Hartford Life
will  not   assume  responsibility   in   determining  or   monitoring   minimum
distributions beginning at age 70 1/2.
    
 
F. MINIMUM DEATH BENEFITS
 
   
    A Minimum Death Benefit is provided in the event of death of the Participant
prior  to the earlier of Participant's 65th birthday or the Annuity Commencement
Date (see "What would my Beneficiary  receive as death proceeds?" commencing  on
page 12).
    
 
G. ANNUITY OPTIONS
 
   
    The  Annuity Commencement Date will not be deferred beyond the Participant's
75th birthday or such earlier date as  may be required by applicable law  and/or
regulation. If a Participant does not elect otherwise,
    
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
   
Hartford  Life reserves the right to begin Annuity payments automatically at age
65 under  an option  providing for  a  life Annuity  with 120  monthly  payments
certain.  (See "What  are the  available Annuity  options under  the contracts?"
commencing on page 14.)
    
 
H. DEDUCTIONS FOR PREMIUM TAXES
 
   
    Deductions will be made during  the Accumulation Period and Annuity  Period,
as  appropriate, for the payment of any Premium Taxes that may be levied against
the contract by  a state or  other governmental entity.  The range is  generally
between 0% and 3.50% (see "Charges Under The Contract", on page 16).
    
 
I. ASSET CHARGE IN THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
 
   
    During  both the Accumulation Period and the Annuity Period a charge is made
by Hartford  Life  for  providing  the  mortality,  expense  and  administrative
undertakings  under the contracts. Such charge is  an annual rate of 1.25% (.85%
for mortality, .15% for expense and .25% for administrative undertakings) of the
average daily net assets of DC-II. The rate charged for the mortality,  expense,
and  administrative  undertakings  under  the  contracts  may  be  reduced  (see
"Experience Rating of Contracts", page 18). The rate charged for the  mortality,
expense,  and  administrative  undertakings  may  be  periodically  increased by
Hartford Life subject to a maximum annual rate of 2.00%, provided, however, that
no such increase will occur unless the Commission shall have first approved  any
such increase. (See "Charges Under The Contract", page 16.)
    
 
J. ANNUAL CONTRACT FEE
 
   
    An   Annual  Contract  Fee  may  be   charged  against  the  value  of  each
Participant's Individual Account under a contract at the end of a  Participant's
Contract  Year.  The maximum  Annual C  ontract Fee  is $30.00  per year  on all
contracts (See "Charges Under The Contract",  page 16.) The Annual Contract  Fee
may be reduced or waived (see "Experience Rating of Contracts", page 18).

    The  Funds  are  subject to  certain  fees,  charges and  expenses.  See the
accompanying Prospectus for the Funds.
    
 
   
L. MINIMUM PAYMENT
    
 
    The minimum  Contribution that  may be  made on  behalf of  a  Participant's
Individual Account under a contract is $30.00.
 
   
M. PAYMENT ALLOCATION TO DC-II
    
 
   
    The  contracts permit the  allocation of Contributions,  in multiples of ten
percent of each Contribution, among the several Sub-Accounts of DC-II. There  is
no  minimum amount that may be allocated to or invested in Accumulation Units of
any Sub-Account in the Separate Account.
    
 
   
N. VOTING RIGHTS OF CONTRACT OWNERS
    
 
   
    Contract Owners and/or vested  Participants will have the  right to vote  on
matters  affecting the underlying Fund to  the extent that proxies are solicited
by such Fund. If a Contract Owner  does not vote, Hartford Life shall vote  such
interest  in the same  proportion as shares  of the Fund  for which instructions
have been received by Hartford Life (see "What are my voting rights?" commencing
on page 26).

                        PERFORMANCE RELATED INFORMATION
 
    The Separate Account may  advertise certain performance related  information
concerning  its Sub-Accounts.  Performance information about  the Sub-Account is
based on the Sub-Account's past performance only and is no indication of  future
performance.
 
   
    The  Advisers Fund, Bond  Fund, Calvert Responsibly  Invested Balanced Fund,
Capital Appreciation Fund, Dividend and  Growth Fund, Index Fund,  International
Opportunities  Fund, Money Market Fund, Mortgage Securities Fund, Stock Fund and
U.S. Government  Money Market  Fund  Sub-Accounts may  include total  return  in
advertisements or other sales material.
    
 
   
    When a Sub-Account advertises its standardized total return, it will usually
be  calculated for one  year, five years,  and ten years  or some other relevant
periods if the Sub-Account  has not been  in existence for  at least ten  years.
Total  return  is  measured by  comparing  the  value of  an  investment  in the
Sub-Account at  the  beginning  of the  relevant  period  to the  value  of  the
investment  at the end of  the period (assuming the  deduction of any contingent
deferred sales charge  and Annual  Contract Fee which  would be  payable if  the
investment were redeemed at the end of the period). Total return figures are net
of  all Fund level management  fees and charges, the  mortality and expense risk
charge and the Annual Contract Fee.
    
 
   
    The Bond Fund and Mortgage Securities Fund Sub-Accounts 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 30  day period is
divided by the unit value  on the last day of  the period. This figure  reflects
the  recurring  charges  on  the Separate  Account  level  including  the Annual
Contract Fee and the mortality and expense risk charge.
    
 
   
    The Money Market Fund and U.S. Government Money Market Fund Sub-Accounts may
advertise yield and effective yield. The yield of the Sub-Account is based  upon
the  income  earned  by  the  Sub-Account  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 Sub-Account  units and thus
compounded in the course of a 52-week period. Yield and effective yield  reflect
the  recurring  charges  on  the Separate  Account  level  including  the Annual
Contract Fee and the mortality and expense risk charge.
    
 
   
    Total return at the  Separate Account level  includes all contract  charges:
contingent  deferred sales charges, mortality and  expense risk charges, and the
Annual Contract Fee and is therefore lower than total return at the Fund  level,
with  no  comparable  charges. Likewise,  yield  at the  Separate  Account level
includes all recurring charges  (except sales charges),  and is therefore  lower
than yield at the Fund level, with no comparable charges.

                             THE DC-II CONTRACT AND
                          SEPARATE ACCOUNT TWO (DC-II)
 
WHAT IS THE DC-II CONTRACT?
 
    The contracts  are group  variable annuity  contracts under  which  variable
account  Contributions are held  in a series of  Hartford Life Insurance Company
Separate Account  Two ("DC-II")  during  both the  Accumulation Period  and  the
Annuity  Period. The contracts are issued  to Employers to allow their employees
to participate in a  Tax-Deferred Annuity as described  under Section 403(b)  of
the Internal Revenue Code.
 
    During  the Accumulation Period  under the contracts,  Contributions made by
the Employer to the contracts are  used to purchase variable account  interests.
Contributions allocated to purchase variable interests may, after the deductions
described hereafter, be invested in selected Sub-Accounts of DC-II.
 
                          WHO CAN BUY THESE CONTRACTS?
 
    The  group  variable annuity  contracts  offered under  this  Prospectus are
offered for use  in annuity purchase  plans according to  Section 403(b) of  the
Code  as adopted by  public school systems  and certain tax-exempt organizations
described in Section 501(c)(3)  of the Code.  A group contract  is issued to  an
Employer to provide a tax-deferred annuity plan for its employees.
 
WHAT IS THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT AND HOW DOES IT OPERATE?
 
   
    Separate Account Two (DC-II) is organized as a unit investment trust type of
investment company and has been registered as such with the Commission under the
Investment  Company  Act of  1940, as  amended.  (On March  31, 1988,  DC-II was
transferred to Separate Account Two  and became a series thereof).  Registration
of  the Separate Account with the Commission does not involve supervision of the
management or investment  practices or policies  of the Separate  Account or  of
Hartford Life by the Commission. However, Hartford Life and the Separate Account
are  subject to supervision and regulation by the Department of Insurance of the
State of Connecticut.  The Separate  Account meets the  definition of  "separate
account" under federal securities law.
    
 
   
    Under  Connecticut law, the  assets of the  Separate Account attributable to
the contracts offered  under this  Prospectus are held  for the  benefit of  the
owners of, and the persons entitled to payments under, those contracts. Also, in
accordance  with the contracts, the assets  in the Separate Account attributable
to contracts  participating in  the  Separate Account  are not  chargeable  with
liabilities arising out of any other business Hartford Life may conduct. So, you
will  not be affected by the rate  of return of Hartford Life's general account,
nor by  the investment  performance of  any of  Hartford Life's  other  separate
accounts.
    
 
   
    Your contributions are allocated to one or more Sub-Accounts of the Separate
Account.  Each  Sub-Account  is  invested  exclusively  in  the  assets  of  one
underlying Fund. Contributions  and proceeds of  transfers between  Sub-Accounts
are  applied  to purchase  shares in  the  appropriate Fund  at net  asset value
determined as of the end of the Valuation Period during which the payments  were
received or the transfer made. All distributions from the Fund are reinvested at
net  asset value.  The value of  your investment during  the Accumulation Period
will therefore vary  in accordance with  the net income  and fluctuation in  the
individual  investments  within  the underlying  Fund  portfolio  or portfolios.
During the  Variable  Annuity payout  period,  both your  annuity  payments  and
reserve values will vary in accordance with these factors.
    
 
   
    HARTFORD  LIFE DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE INVESTMENT RESULTS OF THE SUB-ACCOUNTS
OR ANY OF THE UNDERLYING INVESTMENTS. THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT THE VALUE OF  A
CONTRACT  DURING THE YEARS  PRIOR TO RETIREMENT  OR THE AGGREGATE  AMOUNT OF THE
VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS WILL EQUAL THE SUM OF ALL CONTRIBUTIONS MADE UNDER THE
CONTRACT. SINCE EACH UNDERLYING FUND  HAS DIFFERENT INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES,  EACH
IS  SUBJECT TO  DIFFERENT RISKS.  THESE RISKS  ARE MORE  FULLY DESCRIBED  IN THE
ACCOMPANYING FUND PROSPECTUS.
    
 
   
    Hartford Life reserves  the right, subject  to compliance with  the law,  to
substitute  the shares of any other registered investment company for the shares
of any Fund held by  the Separate Account. Substitution  may occur if shares  of
the  Fund(s)  become  unavailable  or  due  to  changes  in  applicable  law  or
interpretations of
    
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
   
law. Current  law requires  notification to  you of  any such  substitution  and
approval  of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Hartford Life also reserves
the right, subject to compliance with  the law to offer additional  Sub-Accounts
with differing investment objectives.
    
 
    The Separate Account may be subject to liabilities arising from series whose
assets  are attributable  to other variable  annuity contracts  or variable life
insurance policies offered by  the Separate Account which  are not described  in
this Prospectus.
 
    Hartford  Life may  offer additional Separate  Account Options  from time to
time under these  contracts. Such new  options will  be subject to  the then  in
effect  charges, fees, and  or transfer restrictions for  the contracts for such
additional separate accounts.
 
                           OPERATION OF THE CONTRACT
 
HOW ARE CONTRIBUTIONS CREDITED?
 
   
    The contract will  cover present and  future employees of  the Employer  who
elect  to participate in the contract.  The net Contributions to a Participant's
Individual Account under a contract  are applied to purchase Accumulation  Units
in the selected Sub-Accounts. In order to reflect such Contribution on behalf of
a Participant, except with respect to an initial Contribution, there is credited
to  each  Participant's Individual  Account  under a  contract  such Sub-Account
Accumulation Units  with  respect  to  DC-II  determined  by  dividing  the  net
Contribution  by the appropriate Accumulation Unit value next computed following
receipt of the  payment by  Hartford Life  at its  home office,  P.O. Box  2999,
Hartford, Connecticut 06104-2999.
    
 
   
    The  number of  Accumulation Units purchased  is determined  by dividing the
Contribution amount by the appropriate Accumulation  Unit Value on the date  the
Contribution  is  credited  to  the  Participant's  Individual  Account. Initial
Contributions are credited  to the  Participants Individual  Account within  two
days   of  receipt  of   a  properly  completed   application  and  the  initial
Contribution.  Subsequent  Contributions   are  credited   to  a   Participant's
Individual Account on the date following receipt of the Contribution by Hartford
Life  at  its  home  office,  P.O. Box  2999,  Hartford,  CT  06104-2999.  If an
application or any other information is incomplete when received,  Contributions
will  be credited to  the Participant's Individual  Account within five business
days. If an initial  Contribution is not credited  within five business days  it
will  be immediately  returned unless  you have been  informed of  the delay and
request that the  Contribution not  be returned. Subsequent  payments cannot  be
credited  on the  same day  of receipt unless  they are  accompanied by adequate
instructions.
    
 
    The number of Sub-Account  Accumulation Units will not  change because of  a
subsequent  change in an Accumulation  Unit's value, but the  dollar value of an
Accumulation Unit  will  vary  to  reflect  the  investment  experience  of  the
appropriate Fund shares that serve as the underlying investment for the Separate
Account.
 
MAY I MAKE CHANGES IN THE AMOUNTS OF MY CONTRIBUTIONS AND SUB-ACCOUNT
ALLOCATIONS?
 
   
    Yes,  changes  in the  amounts of  your  Contributions may  be made  and the
contract permits the allocation of Contributions, in multiples of 10%, among the
several Sub-Accounts of DC-II. There is no minimum amount that may be  allocated
to  any Sub-Account in the  Separate Account. Such changes  must be requested in
the form and manner prescribed by Hartford Life.
    
 
MAY I TRANSFER ASSETS BETWEEN SUB-ACCOUNTS?
 
    Yes, during the  Accumulation Period  you may  transfer the  values of  your
Sub-Account allocations from one or more Sub-Accounts to another.
 
    The  following transfer restrictions apply to contracts issued or amended on
or after May 1, 1992.
 
    Transfers of assets  presently held in  the General Account,  or which  were
held  in the General Account  at any time during the  preceding 3 months, to the
Money Market Fund Sub-Account or to the U.S. Government Money Market Sub-Account
are prohibited.
 
    Similarly, transfers  of assets  presently  held in  the Money  Market  Fund
Sub-Account  or U.S. Government Money Market  Sub-Account, or which were held in
either of  these two  Accounts or  the General  Account during  the preceding  3
months, to the General Account are prohibited.
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
   
    Transfers between Sub-Accounts and changes in Sub-Account allocations may be
made  by written request or by  calling 1-800-771-3051. Any transfers or changes
made in writing  will be  effected as  of the date  the request  is received  by
Hartford  Life  at its  home  office, P.O.  Box  2999, Hartford,  CT 06104-2999.
Telephone transfer changes may  not be permitted in  some states. The policy  of
Hartford Life and its agents and affiliates is that they will not be responsible
for  losses resulting from acting upon telephone requests reasonably believed to
be genuine.  Hartford Life  will employ  reasonable procedures  to confirm  that
instructions  communicated by telephone are genuine; otherwise Hartford Life may
be liable for  any losses due  to unauthorized or  fraudulent instructions.  The
procedures Hartford Life follows for transactions initiated by telephone include
requirements  that  Participant's provide  certain identifying  information. All
transfer instructions by telephone are recorded. Each transfer may be subject to
a $5.00 transfer fee (see "Experience Rating of Contracts").
    
 
   
    In addition, the right, with respect to a Participant's Individual  Account,
to  transfer monies between Sub-Accounts is  subject to modification if Hartford
Life determines, in its  sole opinion, that  the exercise of  that right by  the
Contract  Owner/Participant  is,  or  would be,  to  the  disadvantage  of other
Contract Owners/Participants. Any modification could be applied to transfers  to
or  from the  same or  all of  the Sub-Accounts  and could  include, but  not be
limited to, the requirement of a minimum time period between each transfer,  not
accepting  transfer requests  of an  agent acting under  a power  of attorney on
behalf of more than  one Participant or Contract  Owner, or limiting the  dollar
amount   that   may  be   transferred   between  Sub-Accounts   by   a  Contract
Owner/Participant at  any one  time. Such  restrictions may  be applied  in  any
manner  reasonably designed to  prevent any use  of the transfer  right which is
considered by  Hartford  Life  to  be to  the  disadvantage  of  other  Contract
Owners/Participants.
    
 
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE CONTRACT OWNER FAILS TO MAKE CONTRIBUTIONS?
 
   
    A  contract will be deemed paid-up within 30 days after any anniversary date
of the  contract  if the  Contract  Owner has  not  remitted a  Contribution  to
Hartford  Life during the preceding 12 month  period. Effective with a change of
the contract to  paid-up status, no  further Contributions will  be accepted  by
Hartford  Life and each Participant's Individual  Account will be consider ed an
inactive account until the commencement of  Annuity payments or until the  value
of  the Participant's Individual  Account is disbursed  or applied in accordance
with the  termination  provisions  (see  "How can  a  contract  be  redeemed  or
surrendered?"  on page 12). Once a contract  has been placed on a paid-up status
it may not be reinstated. Persons receiving Annuity payments at the time of  any
change to paid-up status will continue to receive their payments.
    
 
MAY I ASSIGN OR TRANSFER THE CONTRACT?
 
    The  group  contracts  and  a  Participant's  interest  therein  may  not be
assigned, transferred or pledged.
 
HOW DO I KNOW WHAT MY ACCOUNT IS WORTH?
 
    The value of the Accumulation Units in DC-II representing an interest in the
appropriate Fund  shares  that  are  held  under  the  contract  were  initially
established  on  the  date  that Contributions  were  first  contributed  to the
appropriate Sub-Account of  the Separate  Account. The value  of the  respective
Accumulation  Units  for any  subsequent day  is  determined by  multiplying the
Accumulation Unit value for  the preceding day by  the net investment factor  of
the   appropriate  Sub-Accounts  (see  "How   is  the  Accumulation  Unit  value
determined?" below).
 
    The value of a Participant's Individual Account under a contract at any time
prior to the commencement of Annuity  payments can be determined by  multiplying
the  total number of Sub-Account Accumulation  Units credited to a Participant's
Individual Account by  the current  Accumulation Unit value  for the  respective
Sub-Account. There is no assurance that the value in the Sub-Accounts will equal
or exceed the Contributions made by the Contract Owner to such Sub-Accounts.
 
HOW IS THE ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE DETERMINED?
 
    The  Accumulation Unit value  for each Sub-Account will  vary to reflect the
investment experience of  the applicable  Fund and  will be  determined on  each
"Valuation  Day" by  multiplying the Accumulation  Unit value  of the particular
Sub-Account on the preceding Valuation Day by a "Net Investment Factor" for that
Sub-Account for the Valuation Period then  ended. The Net Investment Factor  for
each  of the  Sub-Accounts is  equal to  the net  asset value  per share  of the
corresponding Fund at the end of the Valuation Period (plus the per share amount
of any dividends or capital gains by that Fund if the ex-dividend date occurs in
the Valuation Period then ended) divided by the net asset value per share of the
corresponding Fund at the beginning of the
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
Valuation Period and  subtracting from  that amount  the amount  of any  charges
assessed  during  the Valuation  Period  then ending.  You  should refer  to the
Prospectuses for  each  of the  Funds  which  accompany this  Prospectus  for  a
description  of how the assets of each  Fund are valued since each determination
has a  direct bearing  on the  Accumulation Unit  value of  the Sub-Account  and
therefore  the value of a  contract. The Accumulation Unit  value is affected by
the performance of the underlying Fund(s), expenses and deduction of the charges
described in this Prospectus.
 
HOW ARE THE UNDERLYING FUND SHARES VALUED?
 
    The shares of the  Fund are valued at  net asset value on  a daily basis.  A
complete  description of the valuation method used in valuing Fund shares may be
found in the accompanying Prospectus of each Fund.
 
                              PAYMENT OF BENEFITS
 
WHAT WOULD MY BENEFICIARY RECEIVE AS DEATH PROCEEDS?
 
    The contracts provide  that in  the event  the Participant  dies before  the
selected Annuity Commencement Date or the Participant's age 65 (whichever occurs
first) the Minimum Death Benefit payable on such contract will be the greater of
(a)  the value  of the  Participant's Account determined  as of  the day written
proof of  death  of such  person  is  received by,  or  (b) 100%  of  the  total
Contributions made to such contract, reduced by any prior partial surrenders.
 
   
    The  benefit may be taken by the Beneficiary  in a single sum, in which case
payment will be made within seven days of receipt of proof of death by  Hartford
Life,  unless subject to postponement as explained  below. In lieu of payment in
one sum, a Beneficiary may elect that the amount be applied under any settlement
options available in  Hartford Life's individual  variable annuities then  being
issued  provided  any such  option must  provide  that a  death benefit  will be
distributed within five years of the death; or, if the benefit is payable over a
period not extending beyond the life  expectancy of the Beneficiary or over  the
life  of the Beneficiary, such benefit must commence within one year of the date
of death. The contract further provides that if the Beneficiary is the spouse of
the Participant, such  spouse may elect,  in lieu  of the death  benefit, to  be
treated as the Participant.
    
 
   
    An  election to receive death benefits under  a form of Annuity must be made
prior to a lump sum settlement with Hartford Life and within one year after  the
death   by  written  notice  to  Hartford  Life  at  its  offices  in  Hartford,
Connecticut. Benefit proceeds due  on death may be  applied to provide  variable
payments,  fixed payments, or  a combination of variable  and fixed payments. No
election to provide Annuity  payments will become  operative unless the  initial
Annuity  payment is  at least  $20.00 on  either a  variable or  fixed basis, or
$20.00 on each basis when a combination benefit is elected. The manner in  which
the  Annuity payments are  determined and in  which they may  vary from month to
month are the  same as applicable  to a Participant's  Individual Account  after
retirement  (see "How are  contributions made to  establish my Annuity account?"
page 14).
    
 
HOW CAN A CONTRACT BE REDEEMED OR SURRENDERED?
 
    THERE ARE CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON SECTION 403(B) TAX-SHELTERED ANNUITIES. AS
OF DECEMBER  31, 1988,  ALL SECTION  403(B) ANNUITIES  HAVE LIMITS  ON FULL  AND
PARTIAL  SURRENDERS. CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CONTRACT  MADE AFTER DECEMBER 31, 1988
AND ANY INCREASES IN CASH VALUE AFTER  DECEMBER 31, 1988 MAY NOT BE  DISTRIBUTED
UNLESS  THE CONTRACT OWNER/EMPLOYEE HAS (A)  ATTAINED AGE 59 1/2, (B) TERMINATED
EMPLOYMENT,  (C)  DIED,  (D)  BECOME  DISABLED,  OR  (E)  EXPERIENCED  FINANCIAL
HARDSHIPS.
 
    DISTRIBUTIONS DUE TO FINANCIAL HARDSHIP OR SEPARATION FROM SERVICE MAY STILL
BE SUBJECT TO A PENALTY TAX OF 10%.
 
   
    HARTFORD  LIFE WILL NOT  ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY  IN DETERMINING WHETHER A
WITHDRAWAL IS  PERM ISSIBLE,  WITH OR  WITHOUT TAX  PENALTY, IN  ANY  PARTICULAR
SITUATION; OR IN MONITORING WITHDRAWAL REQUESTS REGARDING PRE OR POST JANUARY 1,
1989 ACCOUNT VALUES.
    
 
                                       10
<PAGE>
    On  termination  of Contributions  to a  contract by  the Contract  Owner on
behalf of a Participant prior to the selected Annuity Commencement Date for such
Participant, the Participant will have the following options:
 
   
     1.To continue  a  Participant's  Individual  Account  in  force  under  the
       contract.  Under this option, when the selected Annuity Commencement Date
    arrives, the Participant will  begin to receive  Annuity payments under  the
    selected  Annuity option  under the contract.  (See "What  are the available
    Annuity options under the contracts?" commencing on page 14.) At any time in
    the interim,  a  Participant  may  surrender  the  Participant's  Individual
    Account for a lump sum cash settlement in accordance with 3. below.
    
 
   
     2.To  provide Annuity payments immediately. The values in the Participant's
       Individual Account may be applied, subject to contractual provisions,  to
    provide  for Fixed or  Variable Annuity payments,  or a combination thereof,
    commencing  immediately,  under  the  selected  Annuity  option  under   the
    contract. (See "What are the available Annuity options under the contracts?"
    commencing on page 14).
    
 
   
     3.To  surrender the Participant's Individual Account under the contract for
       a lump sum cash  settlement, in which event  the Annual Contract Fee  and
    any  applicable contingent deferred sales charges will be deducted (See "How
    are the charges  under these contracts  made?" commencing on  page 16).  The
    amount  received  will  be the  net  termination value  next  computed after
    receipt by Hartford  Life at its  home office, P.O.  Box 2999, Hartford,  CT
    06104-2999,  of a written surrender  request for complete surrender. Payment
    will normally be  made as soon  as possible  but not later  than seven  days
    after the written request is received by Hartford Life.
    
 
   
     4.In  the case of a partial surrender  the amount requested is either taken
       out  of  the  specified  Sub-Account(s)  or  if  no  Sub-Account(s)   are
    specified,  the  requested  amount  is  taken  out  of  all  applicable Sub-
    Account(s) on a pro rata basis. Within this context, the contingent deferred
    sales charges are taken  as a percentage of  the amount withdrawn (see  "How
    are  the charges  under these contracts  made?" page 16).  If the contingent
    deferred sales charges have been experience rated (see "Experience Rating of
    Contracts", page 18),  any amounts  not subject to  the contingent  deferred
    sales charge will be deemed to be surrendered last.
    
 
CAN PAYMENT OF THE REDEMPTION OR SURRENDER VALUE EVER BE POSTPONED BEYOND THE
SEVEN DAY PERIOD?
 
    Yes. It may be postponed whenever (a) the New York Stock Exchange is closed,
except  for holidays or weekends,  or trading on the  New York Stock Exchange is
restricted as  determined by  the Securities  and Exchange  Commission; (b)  the
Securities  and Exchange Commission  permits postponement and  so orders; or (c)
the Securities  and  Exchange Commission  determines  that an  emergency  exists
making  valuation  of  the  amounts or  disposal  of  securities  not reasonably
practicable.
 
MAY I SURRENDER ONCE ANNUITY PAYMENTS HAVE STARTED?
 
    Except with  respect  to Option  5  (on  a variable  payout),  once  Annuity
payments  have commenced, no surrender of a life Annuity benefit can be made for
the purpose of receiving a partial withdrawal  or a lump sum settlement in  lieu
thereof.  Any surrender out of  Option 5 will be  subject to contingent deferred
sales charges, if applicable.
 
CAN A CONTRACT BE SUSPENDED BY A CONTRACT OWNER?
 
   
    A contract may be suspended by  the Contract Owner by giving written  notice
at least 90 days prior to the effective date of such suspension to Hartford Life
at  its home office, P.O. Box 2999, Hartford, Connecticut 06104-2999. A contract
will be suspended automatically on its  anniversary if the Contract Owner  fails
to assent to any modification of a contract, as described under the caption "Can
a  contract be modified?" which modifications  would have become effective on or
before that  anniversary. Upon  suspension, Contributions  will continue  to  be
accepted  by Hartford Life under the contract, and subject to the terms thereof,
as they are applicable to Participant's Individual Accounts under the  contracts
prior to such suspension, but no Contributions will be accepted on behalf of any
new Participant's Individual Accounts.
    
 
    Annuitants  at the  time of  any suspension  will continue  to receive their
Annuity payments. The suspension of a  contract will not preclude a  Participant
from  applying an existing Participant's Individual  Accounts under DC-II to the
purchase of Fixed or Variable Annuity benefits.

HOW DO I ELECT AN ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE AND FORM OF ANNUITY?
 
    The Participant selects an Annuity Commencement Date, usually between  their
50th  and 75th birthdays,  and an Annuity Option.  The Annuity Commencement Date
may not be deferred  beyond a Participant's 75th  birthday or such earlier  date
may  be required by  applicable law and/or  regulation. The Annuity Commencement
Date and/or the Annuity option  may be changed from time  to time, but any  such
change must be made at least 30 days prior to the date on which Annuity payments
are  scheduled to  begin. Annuity  payments will normally  be made  on the first
business day of each month.
 
   
    The contract contains five optional annuity forms, which may be selected  on
either  a  Fixed or  Variable  Annuity basis,  or  a combination  thereof.  If a
Participant does not elect otherwise, Hartford Life reserves the right to  begin
Annuity  payments at age  65 under Option  2 with 120  monthly payments certain.
However,  Hartford  Life  will  not  assume  responsibility  in  determining  or
monitoring minimum distributions beginning at age 70 1/2.
    
 
    When an annuity is purchased, unless otherwise specified, DC-II Accumulation
Unit values will be applied to provide a Variable Annuity under DC-II.
 
WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AMOUNT THAT I MAY SELECT AS AN ANNUITY PAYMENT?
 
   
    The minimum Annuity payment is $20.00. No election may be made which results
in  a first payment of less than $20.00.  If at any time Annuity payments are or
become less than $20.00, Hartford Life has the right to change the frequency  of
payment to intervals that will result in payments of at least $20.00.
    
 
HOW ARE CONTRIBUTIONS MADE TO ESTABLISH MY ANNUITY ACCOUNT?
 
    During  the Annuity Period, Contract values are applied to establish a Fixed
and/or Variable Annuity.
 
WHAT ARE THE AVAILABLE ANNUITY OPTIONS UNDER THE CONTRACTS?
 
    OPTION 1: LIFE ANNUITY
 
    A Life Annuity is  an Annuity payable during  the lifetime of the  Annuitant
and  terminating  with  the last  monthly  payment  preceding the  death  of the
Annuitant. Life Annuity Options (Options 1-4) offer the maximum level of monthly
payments of an y of the options since there is no guarantee of a minimum  number
of payments nor a provision for a death benefit payable to a Beneficiary.
 
    It  would be possible under this option for an Annuitant to receive only one
Annuity payment if he died prior to the due date of the second Annuity  payment,
two if he died before the due date of the third Annuity payment, etc.
 
    *OPTION 2: LIFE ANNUITY WITH 120, 180 OR 240 MONTHLY PAYMENTS CERTAIN
 
   
    This  Annuity option is an Annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of an
Annuitant with the provision that  payments will be made  for a minimum of  120,
180  or 240 months, as elected. If, at the death of the Annuitant, payments have
been made for less than the minimum elected number of months, then any remaining
guaranteed monthly  payments will  be paid  in  one sum  to the  Beneficiary  or
Beneficiaries  designated  unless  other  provisions  will  have  been  made and
approved by Hartford Life.
    
 
    *OPTION 3: UNIT REFUND LIFE ANNUITY
 
    This Annuity option is an Annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of the
Annuitant terminating  with the  last payment  due  prior to  the death  of  the
Annuitant  except that an additional payment will  be made to the Beneficiary or
Beneficiaries if (a) below exceeds (b) below:
 
                        total amount applied under the option
 (a)  =                    at the Annuity Commencement Date
         --------------------------------------------------------------------
                 Annuity Unit value at the Annuity Commencement Date
 
         number of Annuity Units represented            number of monthly
 (b)  =  by each monthly Annuity payment made     X     Annuity payments made
 
   
    The amount of the additional payments will be determined by multiplying such
excess by the Annuity Unit value as of the date that proof of death is  received
by Hartford Life.
    
 
                                       12
<PAGE>
    OPTION 4: JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR ANNUITY
 
    An  Annuity payable monthly during the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and a
designated second person, and  thereafter during the  remaining lifetime of  the
survivor, ceasing with the last payment prior to the death of the survivor.
 
   
    At  the  Annuitant's  death,  payments  will  continue  to  be  made  to the
contingent  annuitant,  if   living  for   the  remainder   of  the   contingent
annuitant's's  life. When  the Annuity is  purchased, the  Annuitant elects what
percentage (50%, 66 2/3% or 100%)  of the monthly Annuity payment will  continue
to be paid to the contingent annuitant.
    
 
    It  would  be possible  under this  Option for  an Annuitant  and designated
second person in the event of the common or simultaneous death of the parties to
receive only payment in the event of death prior to the due date for the  second
payment and so on.
 
    *OPTION 5: PAYMENTS FOR A DESIGNATED PERIOD
 
    An  amount  payable monthly  for  the number  of  years selected.  Under the
contracts the minimum number of years is three.
 
   
    In the event of  the Annuitant's death  prior to the  end of the  designated
period,  any then remaining balance  of proceeds will be paid  in one sum to the
Beneficiary or Beneficiaries designated unless  other provisions will have  been
made  and approved by Hartford Life. Option 5 is an option that does not involve
life contingencies and thus no mortality guarantee.
    
 
   
    Surrenders are subject to the limitations set forth in the contract and  any
applicable  contingent deferred  sales charges (see  "How are  the charges under
these contracts made?" page 16).
    
 
   
* ON QUALIFIED PLANS, OPTIONS 2,  3 AND 5 ARE  AVAILABLE ONLY IF THE  GUARANTEED
  PAYMENT  PERIOD IS LESS THAN THE LIFE  EXPECTANCY OF THE ANNUITANT AT THE TIME
  THE OPTION BECOMES EFFECTIVE.  SUCH LIFE EXPECTANCY SHALL  BE COMPUTED ON  THE
  BASIS  OF THE MORTALITY TABLE PRESCRIBED BY THE IRS, OR IF NONE IS PRESCRIBED,
  THE MORTALITY TABLE THEN IN USE BY HARTFORD LIFE.
    
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNDER ANY OF THE ANNUITY OPTIONS ABOVE,  EXCEPT OPTION 5 (ON A VARIABLE  BASIS),
NO SURRENDERS ARE PERMITTED AFTER ANNUITY PAYMENTS COMMENCE.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
HOW ARE VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS DETERMINED?
 
    The  value of the Annuity Unit for  each Sub-Account in the Separate Account
for any day is determined by multiplying the value for the preceding day by  the
product  of (1)  the net  investment factor (see  "How is  the Accumulation Unit
value determined?" commencing on page 16) for the day for which the Annuity Unit
value is  being calculated,  and (2)  a  factor to  neutralize the  assumed  net
investment rate discussed below.
 
    When  Annuity  payments  are  to  commence, the  value  of  the  contract is
determined as the product of the value of the Accumulation Unit credited to each
Sub-Account as of the close of business on the fifth business day preceding  the
date  the first  Annuity payment  is due  and the  number of  Accumulation Units
credited to each Sub-Account as of the date the Annuity is to commence.
 
    The contract  contains tables  indicating  the dollar  amount of  the  first
monthly  payment under the optional forms of Annuity for each $1,000 of value of
a Sub-Account under a  contract. The first monthly  payment varies according  to
the  form of Annuity selected. The contract contains Annuity tables derived from
the 1983a  Individual Annuity  Mortality  Table with  an assumed  interest  rate
("A.I.R.")  of 4.00% or 5.00% per annum. The total first monthly Annuity payment
is determined by multiplying the value (expressed in thousands of dollars) of  a
Sub-Account  (less  any applicable  premium taxes)  by the  amount of  the first
monthly payment per $1,000 of value  obtained from the tables in the  contracts.
With  respect to fixed annuities only, the current rate will be applied if it is
higher than the rate under the tables in the contract.
 
    Level Annuity payments would be produced if the net investment rate remained
constant and equal to the A.I.R. In fact,  payments will vary up or down in  the
proportion  that the  net investment rate  varies up  or down from  the A.I.R. A
higher assumed  interest rate  may produce  a higher  initial payment  but  more
slowly  rising and more  rapidly falling subsequent payments  than would a lower
interest rate assumption.
 
    The amount of  the first  monthly Annuity payment,  determined as  described
above,  is  divided  by  the  value  of  an  Annuity  Unit  for  the appropriate
Sub-Account  as  of   the  close  of   business  on  the   fifth  business   day
 
                                       13
<PAGE>
preceding  the day on which the payment is  due in order to determine the number
of Annuity Units represented by the first payment. This number of Annuity  Units
remains fixed during the Annuity Period, and in each subsequent month the dollar
amount  of the Annuity payment is determined by multiplying this fixed number of
Annuity Units by the then current Annuity Unit value.
 
    The Annuity payments will be made on  the first day of each month  following
selection.  The Annuity Unit value used in calculating the amount of the Annuity
payments will be based on  an Annuity Unit value determined  as of the close  of
business on a day not more than the fifth business day preceding the date of the
Annuity payment.
 
   
    Here is an example of how a variable annuity is determined:

</TABLE>
 
    The  above figures  are simply to  illustrate the calculation  of a variable
annuity and have no bearing on the actual record of any Separate Account.
 
CAN A CONTRACT BE MODIFIED?
 
   
    The contracts may, subject to any federal and state regulatory restrictions,
be modified at  any time  by written agreement  between the  Contract Owner  and
Hartford  Life. No modification will affect the  amount or term of any Annuities
begun prior to the effective date of the modification, unless it is required  to
conform  the contract to, or give the Contract Owner the benefit of, any federal
or state statutes or any rule or  regulation of the U.S. Treasury Department  or
Internal Revenue Service.
    
 
   
    On  or after the fifth anniversary of any contract Hartford Life may change,
from time to time, any or  all of the terms of  the contracts by giving 90  days
advance  written notice to  the Contract Owner, except  that the Annuity tables,
guaranteed interest rates and  the contingent deferred  sales charges which  are
applicable at the time a Participant's Individual Account is established under a
contract,  will continue to  be applicable. In addition,  the limitations on the
deductions for the Mortality, Expense Risks and Administrative Undertakings  and
the Annual Contract Fee will continue to apply in all Contract Years.
    
 
   
    Hartford  Life reserves the right  to modify the contract,  but only if such
modification: (i) is  necessary to  make the  contract or  the Separate  Account
comply  with any  law or  regulation issued  by a  governmental agency  to which
Hartford Life is subject; or (ii) is necessary to assure continued qualification
of the  contract under  the Code  or other  federal or  state laws  relating  to
retirement  annuities or annuity  contracts; or (iii) is  necessary to reflect a
change in the  operation of  the Separate  Account or  the Sub-Account(s);  (iv)
provides  additional Separate Account options; or (v) withdraws Separate Account
options. In the event of any such modification Hartford Life will provide notice
to the Contract  Owner or to  the payee(s) during  the Annuity period.  Hartford
Life  may  also make  appropriate endorsement  in the  contract to  reflect such
modification.
    
 
                           CHARGES UNDER THE CONTRACT
 
HOW ARE THE CHARGES UNDER THESE CONTRACTS MADE?
 
    No deduction  for  sales  expense is  made  at  the time  of  allocation  of
Contributions  to  the  contracts.  A deduction  for  contingent  deferred sales
charges is made if there is any surrender of contract values during the first  3
Participant  Contract  Years.  During  the  first  3  years  thereof,  a maximum
deduction of 5% will be made
 
                                       14
<PAGE>
   
against the full amount  of any such  surrender. Such charges  will in no  event
ever  exceed  8.50%  when  applied  as  a  percentage  against  the  sum  of all
Contributions to a Participant's Individual Account.  The amount or term of  the
contingent  deferred  sales charge  may be  reduced  (see "Experience  Rating of
Contracts", page 18).
    
 
    In the case of a redemption in which you request a certain dollar amount  be
withdrawn,  the  sales charge  is  deducted from  the  amount withdrawn  and the
balance is paid to  you. Example: You request  a total withdrawal, your  account
value  is $1,000 and the applicable sales  load is 5%. Your Sub-Accounts will be
surrendered by  $1,000  and  you  will receive  $950  (i.e.,  the  $1,000  total
withdrawal  less the 5% sales  charge). This is the  method applicable on a full
surrender of your contract.  In the case  of a partial  redemption in which  you
request  to receive a specified  amount, the sales charge  will be calculated on
the total amount  that must be  withdrawn from your  Sub-Account(s) in order  to
provide  you with the  amount requested. Example: You  request to receive $1,000
and the applicable  sales load  is 5%. Your  Sub-Account(s) will  be reduced  by
$1,052.63 (i.e., a total withdrawal of $1,052.63 which results in a $52.63 sales
charge ($1,052.63 X 5%) and a net amount paid to you of $1,000 as requested).
 
IS THERE EVER A TIME WHEN THE SALES CHARGES DO NOT APPLY?
 
    No  deduction  for  contingent  deferred  sales  charges  will  be  made  on
contracts: (1) in the event of death of a Participant, or (2) if the value of  a
Participant's  Individual Account is paid out under one of the available Annuity
options under the contracts (except that a surrender out of Annuity Option 5  is
subject to sales charges, if applicable).
 
WHAT DO THE SALES CHARGES COVER?
 
   
    The  contingent deferred  sales charges,  when applicable,  will be  used to
cover expenses relating to the sale and distribution of the contracts, including
commissions paid to any distribution  organization and its sales personnel,  the
cost  of  preparing sales  literature and  other  promotional activities.  It is
anticipated that direct commissions paid on  the sale of the contracts will  not
exceed  .50% of a  Contribution. To the  extent that these  charges do not cover
such distribution expenses they will be borne by Hartford Life from its  general
assets,  including surplus  or possible profit  from mortality  and expense risk
charges.
    
 
WHAT IS THE MORTALITY, EXPENSE RISK AND ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE?
 
   
    Although Variable Annuity  payments made  under the contracts  will vary  in
accordance with the investment performance of the underlying Fund shares held in
the  Sub-Account(s), the  payments will not  be affected by  (a) Hartford Life's
actual mortality experience among Annuitants  before or after retirement or  (b)
Hartford  Life's actual expenses, including  certain administrative expenses, if
greater than  the  deductions provided  for  in  the contracts  because  of  the
mortality and expense undertakings by Hartford Life.
    
 
   
    In  providing an  expense undertaking with  respect to  DC-II, Hartford Life
assumes the risk that the deductions for contingent deferred sales charges,  and
the  Annual Contract Fee  under the contracts  may be insufficient  to cover the
actual future costs.
    
 
   
    The mortality undertaking  provided by  Hartford Life  under the  contracts,
assuming the selection of one of the forms of life annuities, is to make monthly
Annuity  payments (determined  in accordance with  the annuity  tables and other
provisions contained in the contract) regardless of how long all Annuitants  may
live  and  regardless of  how  long all  Annuitants as  a  group may  live. This
undertaking  assures  that  neither  the  longevity  of  an  Annuitant  nor   an
improvement  in  life expectancy  will have  any adverse  effect on  the monthly
Annuity payments the Annuitant will receive under the contract. It thus relieves
the Participant from the risk that they will outlive the funds accumulated.  The
mortality   undertaking   is  based   on   Hartford  Life's   present  actuarial
determination of expected mortality rates among all Annuitants.
    
 
   
    If  actual  experience  among  Annuitants  deviates  from  Hartford   Life's
actuarial determination of expected mortality rates among Annuitants because, as
a  group, their longevity is longer than anticipated, Hartford Life must provide
amounts from its  general funds  to fulfill  its contract  obligations. In  that
event,  a  loss  will fall  on  Hartford  Life. Conversely,  if  longevity among
Annuitants is  lower than  anticipated, a  gain will  result to  Hartford  Life.
Hartford  Life  also assumes  the  liability for  payment  of the  Minimum Death
Benefit provided under the contract.
    
 
   
    The  administrative  undertaking  provided  by  Hartford  Life  assures  the
Contract  Owner that administration will be  provided throughout the entire life
of the contract.
    
 
                                       15
<PAGE>
   
    For assuming these  risks Hartford  Life presently charges  1.25% (.85%  for
mortality,  .15% for  expense and  .25% for  administrative undertaking)  of the
average daily net assets of DC-II.  The rate charged for the mortality,  expense
and  administrative  undertakings  under  the  contracts  may  be  reduced  (see
"Experience Rating of Contracts", page 18). The rate charged for the  mortality,
expense  and  administrative  undertakings  may  be  periodically  increased  by
Hartford Life subject to a maximum annual rate of 2.00%, provided, however, that
no such increase will occur unless the Commission shall have first approved such
increase.
    
 
ARE THERE ANY OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES?
 
   
    There will  be an  Annual Contract  Fee  deduction from  the value  of  each
Participant's  Individual  Account  under  the  contracts.  The  maximum  Annual
Contract Fee is  $30 per  year but  may be  reduced or  waived (see  "Experience
Rating of Contracts", page 18).
    
 
    The Annual Contract Fee will be deducted from the value of each such Account
on the last business day of each Participant's Contract Year, provided, however,
that  if the value of a Participant's  Individual Account is redeemed in full at
any time before the last business  day of the Participant's Contract Year,  then
the  Annual  Contract Fee  charge will  be  deducted from  the proceeds  of such
redemption. No deduction  for the Annual  Contract Fee will  be made during  the
Annuity Period under the contracts.
 
   
EXPERIENCE RATING OF CONTRACTS
    
 
   
    Certain  of the charges and fees described in this Prospectus may be reduced
("experience rated") for  contracts depending on  some or all  of the  following
factors:  the  total  number  of  Participants,  the  sum  of  all Participants'
Individual Account  values,  the sum  of  all Participants'  Individual  Account
values  which are  allocated to  funds managed  by affiliates  of Hartford Life,
anticipated present  or future  expense levels,  anticipated present  or  future
commission  levels, and  whether or  not Hartford  Life is  an exclusive annuity
Contract provider. Experience rating  of a contract may  be discontinued in  the
event  of a change in the applicable  factors. Hartford Life, in its discretion,
may experience rate a Contract (either prospectively or retrospectively) by: (1)
reducing the amount or term of any applicable contingent deferred sales  charge,
(2)  reducing the amount of,  or waiving, the Annual  Contract Fee, (3) reducing
the amount of, or waiving, the Transfer Fee, (4) reducing the mortality, expense
and administrative  risk  charge,  or  (5) by  any  combination  of  the  above.
Reductions  in these  charges will  not be  unfairly discriminatory  against any
person,  including  the  affected  Contractholders/Participants  funded  by  the
Separate  Account. Experience rating  credits have been  given on certain cases.
Participants in  Contracts  receiving  experience rating  credits  will  receive
notification regarding any reduction in charges or fees.
    
 
HOW MUCH ARE THE DEDUCTIONS FOR PREMIUM TAXES ON THESE CONTRACTS?
 
   
    A  deduction is  also made  for Premium Taxes,  if applicable,  imposed by a
state or other governmental entity. Certain states impose a Premium Tax, ranging
up to 3.50%. On any contract subject to a Premium Taxes, Hartford Life will  pay
the  taxes when imposed by the  applicable taxing authorities. Hartford Life, at
its sole discretion,  will deduct  the taxes from  Contributions when  received,
from  the proceeds at surrender, or from the amount applied to effect an Annuity
at the time Annuity payments commence.
    
 
   
WHAT CHARGES ARE MADE BY THE FUNDS?
    
 
   
    Deductions are made from assets of the Funds to pay for management fees  and
the  operating expenses  of the  Funds. A full  description of  the Funds, their
investment policies and restrictions, risks, charges and expenses and all  other
aspects  of their operation is contained  in the accompanying Prospectus for the
Funds.
    
 
ARE THERE ANY OTHER DEDUCTIONS?
 
    Reallocation of monies between or among Sub-Accounts under the contracts  is
not  currently subject to a charge. However,  reserves the right to charge a fee
of up to $5.00 for each such transfer.

                        HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
                                 AND THE FUNDS
 
WHAT IS HARTFORD LIFE?
 
   
    Hartford  Life   Insurance   Company  ("Hartford   Life")   was   originally
incorporated   under  the  laws  of  Massachusetts  on  June  5,  1902.  It  was
subsequently redomiciled to Connecticut.  It is a  stock life insurance  company
engaged  in the business  of writing health and  life insurance, both individual
and group, in all states of the United States and the District of Columbia.  The
offices  of Hartford  Life are  located in  Simsbury, Connecticut;  however, its
mailing address is P.O. Box 2999, Hartford, CT 06102-2999.
    
 
   
    Hartford Life is ultimately 100%  owned by Hartford Fire Insurance  Company,
one  of the largest multiple  lines insurance carriers in  the United States. On
December 20,  1995,  Hartford  Fire Insurance  Company  became  an  independent,
publicly traded corporation.
    
 
   
    Hartford  Life is rated A+ (superior) by A.M. Best and Company, Inc., on the
basis of its  financial soundness  and operating performance.  Hartford Life  is
rated  AA+ by both  Standard & Poor's  and Duff and  Phelps on the  basis of its
claims paying ability.
    
 
   
    These ratings  do not  apply to  the performance  of the  Separate  Account.
However, the contractual obligations under this variable annuity are the general
corporate  obligations  of Hartford  Life. These  ratings  do apply  to Hartford
Life's ability to meet its insurance obligations under the contracts.
    
 
WHAT ARE THE FUNDS?
 
   
    Hartford Stock  Fund, Inc.  was organized  on March  11, 1976.  The  Calvert
Responsibly  Invested  Balanced  Fund  (Calvert  Responsibly  Invested  Balanced
Portfolio) is a series of the Acacia Capital Corporation, which was incorporated
on September 27, 1982. Hartford Advisers  Fund, Inc., Hartford Bond Fund,  Inc.,
Hartford U.S. Government Money Market Fund, Inc. and HVA Money Market Fund, Inc.
were  all organized on December 1, 1982. Hartford Index Fund, Inc. was organized
on May  16, 1983.  Hartford Capital  Appreciation Fund,  Inc. was  organized  on
September  20, 1983.  Hartford Mortgage Securities  Fund, Inc.  was organized on
October 5, 1984. Hartford International  Opportunities Fund, Inc. was  organized
on  January 25, 1990. Hartford  Dividend and Growth Fund,  Inc. was organized on
March 16, 1994. All of the Funds  were incorporated under the laws of the  State
of Maryland and are collectively referred to as the "Funds."
    
 
    The investment objectives of each of the Funds are as follows:
 
    HARTFORD ADVISERS FUND, INC.
 
    To  achieve maximum long  term total rate of  return consistent with prudent
investment risk by investing in common stock and other equity securities,  bonds
and  other debt securities, and money market instruments. The investment adviser
will vary the investments of the Fund among equity and debt securities and money
market instruments depending upon its analysis  of market trends. Total rate  of
return  consists of current  income, including dividends,  interest and discount
accruals and capital appreciation.
 
    HARTFORD BOND FUND, INC.
 
    To achieve maximum current income consistent with preservation of capital by
investing primarily in fixed-income securities.
 
    HARTFORD CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND, INC. (FORMERLY "HARTFORD AGGRESSIVE
    GROWTH FUND, INC.")
 
   
    To  achieve  growth  of  capital  by  investing  in  equity  securities  and
securities  convertible into equity  securities selected solely  on the basis of
potential  for  capital   appreciation;  income,  if   any,  is  an   incidental

    The  Funds are available only to serve  as the underlying investment for the
variable annuity  contracts  and variable  life  insurance contracts  issued  by
Hartford Life.
    
 
   
    It  is conceivable that in the future it may be disadvantageous for variable
annuity separate  accounts  and variable  life  insurance separate  accounts  to
invest  in the Funds simultaneously. Although Hartford Life and the Funds do not
currently foresee any  such disadvantages  either to  variable annuity  Contract
Owners  or  to  variable  life  insurance Policy  Owners,  the  Funds'  Board of
Directors intends to monitor events in order to identify any material  conflicts
between  such Contract Owners and Policy Owners and to determine what action, if
any, should be taken in response thereto. If the Board of Directors of the Funds
were to conclude that separate funds should be established for variable life and
variable annuity separate accounts, the  variable annuity Contract Owners  would
not bear any expenses attendant to the establishment of such separate funds.
    
 
   
    Shares  of Calvert  Responsibly Invested Balanced  Fund, a  series of Acacia
Capital Corporation, which is  unaffiliated with Hartford  Life, are offered  to

irreconcilable conflicts which may arise and  to determine what action, if  any,
should be taken in response thereto.

                           FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
 
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES WHICH AFFECT THESE CONTRACTS?
 
A. GENERAL
 
    SINCE THE TAX LAW IS COMPLEX AND SINCE TAX CONSEQUENCES WILL VARY  ACCORDING
TO  THE ACTUAL STATUS OF THE CONTRACT OWNER  INVOLVED AND THE TYPE OF PLAN UNDER
WHICH THE CONTRACT IS PURCHASED, LEGAL AND TAX ADVICE MAY BE NEEDED BY A PERSON,
EMPLOYER OR  OTHER ENTITY  CONTEMPLATING THE  PURCHASE OF  A CONTRACT  DESCRIBED
HEREIN.
 
    It  should be understood that any detailed description of the federal income
tax consequences regarding  the purchase of  these Contracts cannot  be made  in
this Prospectus and that special tax rules may be
 
                                       19
<PAGE>
applicable with respect to certain purchase situations not discussed herein. For
detailed  information, a qualified tax adviser  should always be consulted. This
discussion is based on Hartford  Life's understanding of current federal  income
tax laws as they are currently interpreted.
 
B. HARTFORD LIFE AND SEPARATE ACCOUNT TWO (DC-II)
 
   
    DC-II  is taxed as part of Hartford Life  which is taxed as a life insurance
company in accordance with  the Internal Revenue  Code. Accordingly, DC-II  will
not be taxed as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Code.
Investment  income and  any realized  capital gains on  the assets  of DC-II are
reinvested  and  are  taken  into  account  in  determining  the  value  of  the
Accumulation  and  Annuity  Units.  (See "How  is  the  Accumulation  Unit value
determined?" commencing on  page 11.) As  a result, such  investment income  and
realized  capital gains are automatically applied to increase reserves under the
contract.
    
 
    No taxes are due on interest, dividends and short-term or long-term  capital
gains earned by DC-II with respect to qualified or non-qualified contracts.
 
C. INFORMATION REGARDING TAX QUALIFIED PLANS
 
    The  tax  rules  applicable  to  tax  qualified  contract  owners, including
restrictions on contributions and  distributions, taxation of distributions  and
tax  penalties, vary  according to  the type of  plan as  well as  the terms and
conditions of the plan itself. Various tax penalties may apply to  contributions
in  excess of specified limits, to  distributions in excess of specified limits,
distributions which  do  not  satisfy certain  requirements  and  certain  other
transactions with respect to qualified plans. Accordingly, this summary provides
only general information about the tax rules associated with use of the Contract
by  a qualified plan.  Contract owners, plan  participants and beneficiaries are
cautioned that the rights and benefits of any person to benefits are  controlled
by  the terms and conditions of the  plan regardless of the terms and conditions
of the Contract.  Some qualified  plans are  subject to  distribution and  other
requirements  which  are not  incorporated  into Hartford  Life's administrative
procedures.  Owners,  participants   and  beneficiaries   are  responsible   for
determining that contributions, distributions and other transactions comply with
applicable  law. Because of the complexity  of these rules, owners, participants
and beneficiaries  are  encouraged to  consult  their  own tax  advisors  as  to
specific tax consequences.
 
 1. QUALIFIED PENSION PLANS
 
    Provisions  of the  IRC permit  eligible employers  to establish  pension or
profit sharing plans (described in Section 401(a) and 401(k), if applicable, and
exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code), and Simplified  Employee
Pension  Plans  (described  in  Section  408(k)).  Such  plans  are  subject  to
limitations on  the amount  that may  be  contributed, the  persons who  may  be
eligible  and  the time  when distributions  must commence.  Corporate employers
intending to  use these  contracts in  connection with  such plans  should  seek
competent advice.
 
 2. TAX SHELTERED ANNUITIES UNDER SECTION 403(B)
 
    Section  403(b) of the Code permits public school employees and employees of
certain types of charitable, educational and scientific organizations  specified
in  Section 501(c)(3) of the Code to purchase annuity contracts, and, subject to
certain limitations, exclude  such contributions from  gross income.  Generally,
such  contributions may not exceed the lesser  of $9,500 or 20% of the employees
"includable compensation" for his most  recent full year of employment,  subject
to  other adjustments.  Special provisions may  allow some employees  to elect a
different overall limitation.
 
    Tax-sheltered annuity  programs  under  Section  403(b)  are  subject  to  a
PROHIBITION   AGAINST   DISTRIBUTIONS   FROM   THE   CONTRACT   ATTRIBUTABLE  TO
CONTRIBUTIONS  MADE  PURSUANT  TO  A  SALARY  REDUCTION  AGREEMENT  unless  such
distribution is made:
 
    a) after the participating employee attains age 59 1/2;
 
    b) upon separation from service;
 
    c) upon death or disability; or
 
    d) in the case of hardship.
 
    The above restrictions apply to distributions of employee contributions made
after  December  31,  1988, earnings  on  those contributions,  and  earnings on
amounts attributable to employee contributions held as of
 
                                       20
<PAGE>
December 31, 1988. They do not apply  to distributions of any employer or  other
after-tax  contributions, employee contributions made  on or before December 31,
1988, and earnings credited to employee contributions before December 31, 1988.
 
 3. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS UNDER SECTION 457
 
    Employees and independent contractors performing services for such employers
may contribute on a before tax basis to the Deferred Compensation Plan or  their
employer  in accordance with  the employer's plan  and Section 457  of the Code.
Section 457 places limitations on  contributions to Deferred Compensation  Plans
maintained  by a  State ("State"  means a State,  a political  sub-division of a
State, and an agency or instrumentality of a State or political sub-division  of
a  State) or other tax-exempt organization. Generally, the limitation is 33 1/3%
of includable compensation (25% of  gross compensation) or $7,500, whichever  is
less.  The plan may also provide  for additional "catch-up" deferrals during the
three taxable years ending before a Participant attains normal retirement age.
 
    An employee electing  to participate in  a plan should  understand that  his
rights  and benefits are  governed strictly by  the terms of  the plan, that the
employer is legal owner of any contract issued with respect to the plan and that
deferred amounts will be subject to the claims of the employer's creditors.  The
employer  as owner of  the contract(s) retains all  voting and redemption rights
which may  accrue  to the  contract(s)  issued with  respect  to the  plan.  The
participating  employee should look to the terms  of his plan for any charges in
regard to participating therein other than those disclosed in this Prospectus.
 
    Distributions from a  457 deferred compensation  plan are prohibited  unless
made  after the  participating employee attains  the age specified  in the plan,
separates from  service,  dies,  becomes permanently  and  totally  disabled  or
suffers  an unforeseeable financial emergency. Present  federal tax law does not
allow tax-free transfers or rollovers for  amounts accumulated in a Section  457
plan except for transfers to other Section 457 plans in limited cases.
 
 4. INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITIES UNDER SECTION 408
 
    Section 408 of the Code permits eligible individuals to establish individual
retirement  programs  through the  purchase  of Individual  Retirement Annuities
("IRAs"). IRAs are subject to limitations on the amount that may be contributed,
the contributions that may be deducted from taxable income, the persons who  may
be  eligible and the  time when distributions  may commence. Also, distributions
from certain qualified plans may be  "rolled-over" on a tax-deferred basis  into
an IRA.
 
 5. TAX PENALTIES
 
    Distributions  from retirement plans are generally taxed under Section 72 of
the Code. Under these  rules, a portion of  each distribution may be  excludable
from  income. The  excludable amount  is the  portion of  the distribution which
bears the same ratio as the after-tax contributions bear to the expected return.
 
    A. PREMATURE DISTRIBUTION
 
    Distributions from  a  qualified plan  before  the Participant  attains  age
59  1/2 are generally subject  to an additional tax equal  to 10% of the taxable
portion of the  distribution. The 10%  penalty does not  apply to  distributions
made  after the employee's death, on  account of disability and distributions in
the form  of  a  life annuity  and,  except  in  the case  of  an  IRA,  certain
distributions  after  separation from  service at  or after  age 55  and certain
distributions for eligible  medical expenses.  A life  annuity is  defined as  a
scheduled  series of substantially equal periodic  payments for the life or life
expectancy of the Participant  (or the joint lives  or life expectancies of  the
Participant and Beneficiary).
 
    B. MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION TAX
 
    If the amount distributed is less than the minimum required distribution for
the  year, the Participant  is subject to a  50% tax on the  amount that was not
properly distributed.
 
    An individual's interest in a retirement plan must generally be  distributed
or  begin to be distributed not later than April 1 of the calendar year in which
the individual  attains age  70 1/2  ("required beginning  date"). The  required
beginning date with respect to certain government plans may be further deferred.
The  entire interest of  the Participant must be  distributed beginning no later
than this required beginning date  over a period which  may not extend beyond  a
maximum  of the life expectancy of the Participant and a designated Beneficiary.
Each annual distribution must  equal or exceed  a "minimum distribution  amount"
which is determined by
 
                                       21
<PAGE>
dividing  the account  balance by the  applicable life  expectancy. This account
balance is generally based upon the account value as of the close of business on
the last day of  the previous calendar year.  In addition, minimum  distribution
incidental benefit rules may require a larger annual distribution.
 
    If  an individual dies  before reaching his or  her required beginning date,
the individual's entire interest must generally be distributed within five years
of the  individual's death.  However, this  rule will  be deemed  satisfied,  if
distributions  begin  before  the  close  of  the  calendar  year  following the
individual's death to a designated Beneficiary  (or over a period not  extending
beyond  the  life expectancy  of  the beneficiary).  If  the Beneficiary  is the
individual's surviving spouse, distributions may be delayed until the individual
would have attained age 70 1/2.
 
    If an individual dies after reaching  his or her required beginning date  or
after  distributions have commenced, the individual's interest must generally be
distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at
the time of the individual's death.
 
    C. EXCESS DISTRIBUTION TAX
 
    If the aggregate  distributions from  all IRAs and  certain other  qualified
plans in a calendar year exceed the greater of (i) $150,000, or (ii) $112,500 as
indexed  for inflation ($155,000 as of January 1, 1996), a penalty tax of 15% is
generally imposed on the excess portion of the distribution.
 
    D. WITHHOLDING
 
    Periodic distributions from a qualified plan  lasting for a period of 10  or
more  years  are  generally subject  to  voluntary income  tax  withholding. The
recipient of periodic distributions may generally elect not to have  withholding
apply  or  to have  income taxes  withheld at  a different  rate by  providing a
completed election form. Otherwise, the amount withheld on such distributions is
determined at the  rate applicable  to wages as  if the  recipient were  married
claiming three exemptions.
 
    Nonperiodic  distributions from an IRA are subject to income tax withholding
at a flat 10% rate. The recipient may elect not to have withholding apply.
 
    Nonperiodic distributions from other  qualified plans are generally  subject
to  mandatory  income  tax withholding  at  the  flat rate  of  20%  unless such
distributions are:
 
    1) the non-taxable portion of the distribution;
 
    2) required minimum distributions;
 
    3) eligible rollover distributions.
 
    Eligible rollover distributions are direct payments to an IRA or to  another
qualified employer plan.
 
    Any  distribution from plans described in Section 457 of the Code is subject
to regular wage withholding rules.
 
D. FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
 
    That portion of a distribution from a Tax Sheltered Annuity which is taxable
income to the recipient is subject  to federal income tax withholding,  pursuant
to  Section 3405 of the Internal Revenue Code. The application of this provision
is summarized below:
 
 1. ELIGIBLE ROLLOVER DISTRIBUTIONS
 
    a. The Unemployment  Compensation  Amendments  Act  of  1992  requires  that
       federal   income  taxes  be  withheld  from  certain  distributions  from
       tax-qualified retirement  plans and  from tax-sheltered  annuities  under
       Section  403(b).  These provisions  DO  NOT APPLY  to  distributions from
       individual retirement  annuities under  section 408(b)  or from  deferred
       compensation programs under section 457.
 
    b. If  any portion of a distribution is an "eligible rollover distribution",
       the law requires that 20% of that amount be withheld. This amount is sent
       to the IRS as withheld income  taxes. The following types of payments  do
       not  constitute an  eligible rollover  distribution (and,  therefore, the
       mandatory withholding rules will not apply):
 
      -- the non-taxable portion of the distribution;
 
                                       22
<PAGE>
      -- distributions which are  part of  a series of  equal (or  substantially
         equal)  payments made at least annually for your lifetime (or your life
         expectancy), or your lifetime and your Beneficiary's lifetime (or  life
         expectancies), or for a period of ten years or more;
 
      -- required  minimum distributions  made pursuant to  section 401(a)(9) of
         the IRC.
 
    c. However, these mandatory  withholding requirements  do not  apply in  the
       event  of all or a portion of  any eligible rollover distribution is paid
       in a "direct  rollover". A direct  rollover is the  direct payment of  an
       eligible  rollover  distribution  or  portion  thereof  to  an individual
       retirement arrangement or annuity (IRA) or to another qualified  employer
       plan. IF A DIRECT ROLLOVER IS ELECTED, NO INCOME TAX WILL BE WITHHELD.
 
    d. If any portion of a distribution is not an eligible rollover distribution
       but  is taxable, the  mandatory withholding rules  described above do not
       apply. In  this case,  the voluntary  withholding rules  described  below
       apply.
 
 2. NON-ELIGIBLE ROLLOVER DISTRIBUTIONS
 
    A. NON-PERIODIC DISTRIBUTIONS
 
    The  portion of a non-periodic distribution which constitutes taxable income
will be subject to  federal income tax withholding  unless the recipient  elects
not  to have taxes  withheld. If an election  not to have  taxes withheld is not
provided, 10% of  the taxable distribution  will be withheld  as federal  income
tax. Election forms will be provided at the time distributions are requested.
 
    B.  PERIODIC DISTRIBUTIONS (DISTRIBUTIONS PAYABLE OVER A PERIOD GREATER THAN
ONE YEAR)
 
    The portion of a periodic distribution which constitutes taxable income will
be subject to federal  income tax withholding as  if the recipient were  married
claiming  three  exemptions. A  recipient  may elect  not  to have  income taxes
withheld or  have income  taxes withheld  at  a different  rate by  providing  a
completed   election  form.  Election  forms  will   be  provided  at  the  time
distributions are requested.
 
E. DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
 
    Section 817 of the Code provides  that a variable annuity contract will  not
be  treated as an annuity  contract for any period  during which the investments
made by the separate account or  underlying fund are not adequately  diversified
in  accordance with regulations prescribed by the Treasury. If a contract is not
treated as an annuity contract, the Contract Owner will be subject to income tax
on the annual increases in cash value.
 
    The Treasury has issued diversification regulations which generally require,
among other things, that no  more than 55% of the  value of the total assets  of
the  segregated assets account underlying a  variable contract is represented by
any one investment, no more than 70%  is represented by any two investments,  no
more  than 80% is represented by any three  investments, and no more than 90% is
represented by any four investments. In determining whether the  diversification
standards  are met, all securities of the same issuer, all interests in the same
real property project, and all interests in the same commodity are each  treated
as  a single investment. In addition, in the case of government securities, each
government agency or instrumentality shall be treated as a separate issuer.
 
    A separate account must be in compliance with the diversification  standards
on  the last day  of each calendar quarter  or within 30  days after the quarter
ends. If an insurance  company inadvertently fails  to meet the  diversification
requirements,  the company may  comply within a reasonable  period and avoid the
taxation of contract income on an ongoing basis. However, either the company  or
the contract owner must agree to pay the tax due for the period during which the
diversification requirements were not met.
 
    Hartford  Life monitors the  diversification of investments  in the separate
accounts and tests for  diversification as required by  the Code. Hartford  Life
intends  to administer all contracts subject to the diversification requirements
in a manner that will maintain adequate diversification.
 
F. OWNERSHIP OF THE ASSETS IN THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
 
    In order for a variable annuity contract to qualify for tax deferral, assets
in the  segregated  asset accounts  supporting  the variable  contract  must  be
considered to be owned by the insurance company and not by the variable contract
owner.  The Internal  Revenue Service has  issued several  rulings which discuss
investor
 
                                       23
<PAGE>
control. The  Service has  ruled that  incidents of  ownership by  the  contract
owner,  such as  the ability  to select  and control  investments in  a separate
account, will cause the contract owner to be treated as the owner of the  assets
for tax purposes.
 
    Further,  in the  explanation to  the temporary  Section 817 diversification
regulations, the Treasury  Department noted that  the temporary regulations  "do
not  provide guidance concerning the circumstances  in which investor control of
the investments of  a segregated asset  account may cause  the investor,  rather
than  the insurance  company, to be  treated as the  owner of the  assets in the
account." The  explanation further  indicates  that "the  temporary  regulations
provide  that  in  appropriate  cases a  segregated  asset  account  may include
multiple sub-accounts, but do not specify the extent to which policyholders  may
direct their investments to particular sub-accounts without being treated as the
owners  of the  underlying assets.  Guidance on  this and  other issues  will be
provided in regulations or revenue rulings under Section 817(d), relating to the
definition of variable contract." The final regulations issued under Section 817
did not provide guidance regarding investor control, and as of the date of  this
prospectus,  no other such guidance has been issued. Further, Hartford Life does
not know if or in what form such guidance will be issued. In addition,  although
regulations  are generally issued  with prospective effect,  it is possible that
regulations may be issued with retroactive  effect. Due to the lack of  specific
guidance  regarding the  issue of  investor control,  there is  necessarily some
uncertainty regarding whether a Contract Owner could be considered the owner  of
the  assets for  tax purposes.  Hartford Life reserves  the right  to modify the
contracts, as necessary, to  prevent Contract Owners  from being considered  the
owners of the assets in the separate accounts.
 
G. NON-NATURAL PERSONS, CORPORATIONS
 
    The  annual increase in the value of the contract is currently includable in
gross income of a non-natural person.  There is an exception for annuities  held
by  structured  settlement  companies and  annuities  held by  an  employer with
respect to a terminated pension plan. A non-natural person which is a tax-exempt
entity for federal tax purposes will not be subject to income tax as a result of
this provision.
 
H. ANNUITY PURCHASES BY NONRESIDENT ALIENS AND FOREIGN CORPORATIONS
 
    The discussion  above provides  general information  regarding U.S.  federal
income  tax  consequences  to  annuity  purchasers  that  are  U.S.  citizens or
residents. Purchasers that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally  be
subject to U.S. federal income tax and withholding on annuity distributions at a
30%  rate, unless a  lower treaty rate  applies. In addition,  purchasers may be
subject to state premium tax, other state and/or municipal taxes, and taxes that
may  be  imposed  by  the  purchaser's  country  of  citizenship  or  residence.
Prospective  purchasers  are advised  to consult  with  a qualified  tax advisor
regarding U.S., state, and foreign taxation with respect to an annuity purchase.
 
                                 MISCELLANEOUS
 
WHAT ARE MY VOTING RIGHTS?
 
    Hartford Life  shall notify  the Contract  Owner of  any Fund  shareholders'
meeting  if the shares  held for the  Contract Owner's accounts  may be voted at
such meetings.  Hartford Life  shall also  send proxy  materials and  a form  of
instruction by means of which the Contract Owner can instruct Hartford Life with
respect  to the voting of the Fund shares held for the Contract Owner's account.
In connection with the  voting of Fund  shares held by  it, Hartford Life  shall
arrange  for the handling and tallying of proxies received from Contract Owners.
Hartford Life as such, shall have  no right, except as hereinafter provided,  to
vote any Fund shares held by it hereunder which may be registered in its name or
the  names of its  nominees. Hartford Life  will, however, vote  the Fund shares
held by it in accordance with the instructions received from the Contract Owners
for whose accounts  the Fund shares  are held.  If a Contract  Owner desires  to
attend  any meeting at which shares held for the Contract Owner's benefit may be
voted, the  Contract Owner  may request  Hartford  Life to  furnish a  proxy  or
otherwise  arrange for the  exercise of voting  rights with respect  to the Fund
shares held for such  Contract Owner's account. In  the event that the  Contract
Owner  gives  no  instructions or  leaves  the manner  of  voting discretionary,
Hartford Life will vote  such shares of the  appropriate Fund, including any  of
its  own  shares,  in the  same  proportion as  shares  of that  Fund  for which
instructions have been received.
 
                                       24
<PAGE>
    Every Participant under a  contract issued with respect  to DC-II who has  a
full (100%) vested interest under a group contract, shall receive proxy material
and  a  form of  instruction by  means  of which  Participants may  instruct the
Contract Owner  with  respect  to  the  number  of  votes  attributable  to  his
individual participation under a group contract.
 
    A  Contract Owner or Participant, as appropriate, is entitled to one full or
fractional vote for each full or fractional Accumulation or Annuity Unit  owned.
The  Contract Owner has voting  rights throughout the life  of the contract. The
vested Participant  has  voting rights  for  as  long as  participation  in  the
contract continues. Voting rights attach only to Separate Account interests.
 
    During the Annuity period under a contract the number of votes will decrease
as the assets held to fund Annuity benefits decrease.

                              DISTRIBUTION OF CONTRACTS
   
Hartford Securities Distribution Company, Inc. ("HSD") serves as Principal
Underwriter for the securities issued with respect to the Separate Account.  HSD
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hartford Life.  The principal business address
of HSD is the same as Hartford Life.
    
   
The securities will be sold by salespersons of HSD who represent Hartford Life
as insurance and Variable Annuity agents and who are registered representatives
of Broker-Dealers who have entered into distribution agreements with HSD.
    
   
HSD 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").  Compensation will be
paid by Hartford Life to registered representatives for the sale of Contracts up

Prior to June 26, 1995, the Principal Underwriter for the Separate Account was
Hartford Equity Sales Company, Inc., an NASD member Broker-Dealer.
    
   
The offering of the Separate Account contracts is continuous.
    
                                    ANNUITY PERIOD

A.  Annuity Payments

    Variable Annuity payments are determined on the basis of (1) a mortality
    table set forth in the contracts which reflects the age of the Annuitant
    and the type of Annuity payment option selected, and (2) the investment
    performance of the investment medium selected.  Fixed Annuity payments will
    be no less than those calculated at rates based on the annuity tables
    contained in the contracts.

    The amount of the Annuity payments will not be affected by adverse
    mortality experience or by an increase in expenses in excess of the expense
    deduction for which provision has been made (see "Charges Under the
    Contracts," in the Prospectus).

    The Annuitant will be paid the value of a fixed number of Annuity Units
    each month.  The value of such units and the amounts of the monthly
    Variable Annuity payments will, however, reflect investment income
    occurring after retirement, and thus the payments will vary with the
    investment experience of the Fund shares selected.

                  Illustration of Calculation of Annuity Unit Value
                  -------------------------------------------------
    1.  Net Investment Factor for period                         .000498
    2.  Adjustment for 4% Assumed Rate of Net Investment Return  .999892

    3.  2x(1+1.000000)                                          1.000390
    4.  Annuity Unit value, beginning of period                  .995995
    5.  Annuity Unit value, end of period (3x4)                  .996383

B.  Electing the Annuity Commencement Date and Form of Annuity

    Depending on the Contract involved, the Contract Owner or Participant
    selects an Annuity Commencement Date, usually between a Participant's 50th
    and 75th birthdays, and an Annuity option.  The Annuity Commencement Date
    may not be deferred beyond the Participant's 75th birthday.  The Annuity
    Commencement Date and/or the Annuity option may be changed from time to
    time, but any such change must be made at least 30 days prior to the date
    on which Annuity payments are scheduled to begin.  Annuity payments will be
    made on the first business day of each month.
   
    The contracts contain the five optional Annuity forms described below,
    which may be selected on either a Fixed or Variable Annuity basis, or a
    combination thereof.  If a Contract Owner does not elect otherwise,
    Hartford Life reserves the right to begin Annuity payments at age 65 under
    Option 2 with 120 monthly payments certain.
    
    When an Annuity is purchased for an Annuitant, unless otherwise specified,
    DC-II Accumulation Unit values will be applied to provide a Variable
    Annuity under DC-II.
   
    The minimum Annuity payment is $20.  No election may be made which results
    in a first payment of less than $20.  If at any time Annuity payments are
    or become less than $20, Hartford Life has the right to change the
    frequency of payment to such intervals as will result in payments of at
    least $20.
    
C.  Optional Annuity Forms

    OPTION 1:  Life Annuity
   
    A life Annuity is an Annuity payable during the lifetime of the Annuitant
    and terminating with the last monthly payment preceding the death of the
    Annuitant.  Life Annuity Options (Options 1-4) offer the maximum level of
    monthly payments of any of the options since there is no guarantee of a
    minimum number of payments nor a provision for a death benefit payable to a
    Beneficiary.
    
    It would be possible under this option for an Annuitant to receive only one
    Annuity payment if he died prior to the due date of the second Annuity
    payment, two if he died before the due date of the third Annuity payment,
    etc.


*   OPTION 2:  Life Annuity with 120, 180 or 240 Monthly Payments Certain

<PAGE>

                                         -4-
   
    This Annuity option is an Annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of an
    Annuitant with the provision that if, at the death of the Annuitant,
    payments have been made for less than 120, 180 or 240 months, as elected,
    then the present value as of the date of the Participant's death at the
    current dollar amount at the date of death of any remaining guaranteed
    monthly payments will be paid in one sum to the Beneficiary or
    Beneficiaries designated unless other provisions will have been made and
    approved by Hartford Life.
    
                           Illustration of Annuity Payments

                              With 120 Payments Certain
                              -------------------------

    1.   Net amount applied                                      13,978.25
    2.   Initial monthly income per $1,000 of payment applied         5.93
    3.   Initial monthly payment (1x2/1,000)                         82.89
    4.   Annuity Unit value                                            .953217
    5.   Number of monthly Annuity Units (3DIVIDED BY4)              86.959
    6.   Assume Annuity Unit value for second month equal to           .963723
    7.   Second monthly payment (6x5)                                83.80
    8.   Assume Annuity Unit value for third month equal to            .964917
    9.   Third month payment (8x5)                                   83.91

    For the purpose of this illustration, purchase is assumed to have been made
    on the 5th business day preceding the first payment date.  In determining
    the second and subsequent payments the annuity unit value of the 5th
    business day preceding the annuity due date is used.

  * OPTION 3:  Unit Refund Life Annuity

    This Annuity option is an Annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of
    the Annuitant terminating with the last payment due prior to the death of
    the Annuitant except that an additional payment will be made to the
    Beneficiary or Beneficiaries if (a) below exceeds (b) below:

         total amount applied under the option
    at the Annuity Commencement Date
    (a) =     ________________________________
              Annuity Unit value at the Annuity
              Commencement Date

    (b) =     number of Annuity Units represented          number of monthly
              by monthly Annuity payment made     X     Annuity payments made

    The amount of the additional payments will be determined by multiplying
    such excess by the

<PAGE>

                                         -5-
   
    Annuity Unit value as of the date that proof of death is received by
    Hartford Life.
    
    For example, if $20,000 were applied to the purchase of an Annuity under
    this option, the value of an Annuity Unit was $1.25 on the Annuity
    Commencement Date, the number of Annuity Units represented by each monthly
    payment was 91.68 (the number applicable to an individual electing this
    option to commence at age 65), 60 monthly Annuity payments were made prior
    to the date of death, and the value of an Annuity Unit on the date of
    receipt of proof of an Annuitant's death was $1.50, the amount paid to the
    Beneficiary would be $15,748.80, computed as follows:

    $20,000   
    -------  -  (91.68 x 60) = 10,499.200
     $1.25
                         or

    16,000.000 - 5,500.800 = 10,499.200
    10,499.200 x $1.50 = $15,748.80

    OPTION 4:  Joint and Last Survivor Annuity

    An Annuity payable monthly during the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and a
    designated second person, and thereafter during the remaining lifetime of
    the survivor, ceasing with the last payment prior to the death of the
    survivor.

    It would be possible under this Option for an Annuitant and designated
    second person in the event of the common or simultaneous death of the
    parties to receive only one payment in the event of death prior to the due
    date for the second payment and so on.

  * OPTION 5:  Payments for a Designated Period

    An amount payable monthly for the number of years.  Under most group
    contracts, the minimum number of years is three.
   
    In the event of the Annuitant's death prior to the end of the designated
    period, any then remaining balance of proceeds will be paid in one sum to
    the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries designated unless other provisions will
    have been made and approved by Hartford Life.
    
    Option 5 is an option that does not involve life contingencies and thus no
    mortality guarantee.

    Surrenders under Option 5 will be subject to the limitations set forth in
    the Contract and any applicable contingent deferred sales charges (see "How
    do I select an Annuity Commencement Date and Form of Annuity?" in the
    Prospectus.)

*   On Qualified Plans, Options 2, 3 and 5 are available only if the guaranteed
    payment period is

                                         -6-
   
    less than the life expectancy of the Annuitant at the time the option
    becomes effective.  Such life expectancy shall be computed on the basis of
    the mortality table prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, or if none
    is prescribed, the mortality table then in use by Hartford Life.
    
                           CALCULATION OF YIELD AND RETURN
   
YIELD OF THE HVA MONEY MARKET FUND AND U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUND
SUB-ACCOUNTS.  As summarized in the Prospectus under the heading "Performance
Related Information," the yield of the Money Market Fund and U.S. Government
Money Market Fund Sub-Accounts for a seven-day period (the "base period") will
be computed by determining the "net change in value" (calculated as set forth
below) of a hypothetical account having a balance of one share at the beginning
of the period, dividing the net change in account value by the value of the
account at the beginning of the base period to obtain the base period return,
and multiplying the base period return by 365/7 with the resulting yield figure
carried to the nearest hundredth of one percent.  Net changes in value of a
hypothetical account will include net investment income of the account (accrued
daily dividends as declared by the underlying funds, less daily expense and
contract charges of the account) for the period, but will not include realized
gains or losses or unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the underlying
fund shares.
    
The Money Market Fund and U.S. Government Money Market Fund Sub-Accounts yield
and effective yield will vary in response to fluctuations in interest rates and
in the expenses of the two Sub-Accounts.

The current yield and effective yield reflect recurring charges on the Separate
Account level, including the maximum Annual Contract Fee.

Money Market Fund Sub-Account
   
The yield and effective yield for the seven day period ending December 31, 1995
is as follows:

Yield              3.89%
Effective Yield    3.97%
    
U.S. Government Money Market Fund Sub-Account
   
The yield and effective yield for the sub-account for the seven day period
ending December 31, 1995 is as follows:
    
    ($30 Annual Contract Fee)

YIELDS OF HARTFORD BOND FUND AND HARTFORD MORTGAGE SECURITIES FUND SUB-ACCOUNTS.
As summarized in the Prospectus under the heading "Performance Related
Information," yields of these two Sub-Accounts will be computed by annualizing a
recent month's net investment income, divided by a Fund share's net asset value
on the last trading day of that month.  Net changes in the value of a
hypothetical account will assume the change in the underlying mutual funds "net
asset value per share" for the same period in addition to the daily expense
charged assessed, at the sub-account level for the respective period.  The Bond
Fund and Mortgage Securities Fund Sub-Accounts' yields will vary from time to
time depending upon market conditions and, the composition of the underlying
funds' portfolios.  Yield should also be considered relative to changes in the
value of the Sub-Accounts' shares and to the relative risks associated with the
investment objectives and policies of the Bond Fund and Mortgage Securities
Fund.

The yield reflects recurring charges on the Separate Account level, including
the Annual Contract Fee.

Bond Fund Sub-Account
   
Yield calculations of the Sub-Account used for illustration purposes reflect the
interest earned by the Sub-Account, less applicable asset charges assessed
against a Contract Owner's contract over the base period.  The following is the
method used to determine the yield for the 30 day period ended December 31,
1995.
    
Example:

Current Yield Formula for the Sub-Account   2*[((A-B)/(C*D) + 1)(6) - 1]

Where    A = Dividends and interest earned during the period.
         B = Expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements).
         C = The average daily number of units outstanding during the period
             that were entitled to receive dividends.
         D = The maximum offering price per unit on the last day of the period.
   
         Yield = 5.15%
    
Mortgage Securities Fund Sub-Account

Yield calculations of the Sub-Account used for illustration purposes reflect the
interest earned by the Sub-Account, less applicable asset charges assessed
against a Contract Owner's account over the base period.  The following is the
method used to determine the yield for the 30 days period

ended December 31, 1995.
    
Example:

Current Yield Formula for the Sub-Account         2*[((A-B)/(C*D) + 1)(6) - 1]

Where    A = Dividends and interest earned during the period.
         B = Expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements).
         C = The average daily number of units outstanding during the period
             that were entitled to receive dividends.
         D = The maximum offering price per unit on the last day of the period.
   
         Yield = 5.58%
    
At any time in the future, yields and total return may be higher or lower than
past yields and there can be no assurance that any historical results will
continue.

The method of calculating yields described above for these Sub-Accounts differs
from the method used by the Sub-Accounts prior to May 1, 1988.  The denominator
of the fraction used to calculate yield was previously the average unit value
for the period calculated.  That denominator will hereafter be the unit value of
the Sub-Accounts on the last trading day of the period calculated.

CALCULATION OF TOTAL RETURN.  As summarized in the Prospectus under the heading
"Performance Related Information", total return is a measure of the change in
value of an investment in a Sub-Account over the period covered.  The formula
for total return used herein includes three steps:  (1) calculating the value of
the hypothetical initial investment of $1,000 as of the end of the period by
multiplying the total number of units owned at the end of the period by the unit
value per unit on the last trading day of the period; (2) assuming redemption at
the end of the period and deducting any applicable contingent deferred sales
charge and (3) dividing this account value for the hypothetical investor by the
initial $1,000 investment and annualizing the result for periods of less than
one year.  Total return will be calculated for one year, five years and ten
years or some other relevant periods if a Sub-Account has not been in existence
for at least ten years.


                               PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS

YIELD AND TOTAL RETURN.  Each Sub-Account may from time to time include its
total return in advertisements or in information furnished to present or
prospective shareholders.  Each Sub-Account may from time to time include its
yield and total return in advertisements or information furnished to present or
prospective shareholders.  Each Sub-Account may from time to time include in
advertisements its total return (and yield in the case of certain Sub-Accounts)
the ranking of those performance figures relative to such figures for groups of
other annuities

analyzed by Lipper Analytical Services as having the same investment objectives.

The total return and yield may also be used to compare the performance of the
Sub-Accounts against certain widely acknowledged outside standards or indices
for stock and bond market performance.  The Standard & Poor's Composite Index of
500 Stocks (the "S&P 500") is a market value-weighted and unmanaged index
showing the changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks relative to the
base period 1941-43.  The S&P 500 is composed almost entirely of common stocks
of companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange, although the common stocks
of a few companies listed on the American Stock Exchange or traded
over-the-counter are included.  The 500 companies represented include 400
industrial, 60 transportation and 40 financial services concerns.  The S&P 500
represents about 80% of the market value of all issues traded on the New York
Stock Exchange.

The NASDAQ-OTC Price Index (the "NASDAQ Index") is a market value-weighted and
unmanaged index showing the changes in the aggregate market value of
approximately 3,500 stocks relative to the base measure of 100.00 on February 5,
1971.  The NASDAQ Index is composed entirely of common stocks of companies
traded over-the-counter and often through the National Association of Securities
Dealers Automated Quotations ("NASDAQ") system.  Only those over-the-counter
stocks having only one market maker or traded on exchanges are excluded.

The Shearson Lehman Government Bond Index (the "SL Government Index") is a
measure of the market value of all public obligations of the U.S. Treasury; all
publicly issued debt of all agencies of the U.S. Government and all
quasi-federal corporations; and all corporate debt guaranteed by the U.S.
Government.  Mortgage-backed securities, flower bonds and foreign targeted
issues are not included in the SL Government Index.

The Shearson Lehman Government/Corporate Bond Index (the "SL
Government/Corporate Index") is a measure of the market value of approximately
5,300 bonds with a face value currently in excess of $1.3 trillion.  To be
included in the SL Government/Corporate Index, an issue must have amounts
outstanding in excess of $1 million, have at least one year to maturity and be
rated "Baa" or higher ("investment grade") by a nationally recognized rating
agency.
   
The manner in which total return and yield will be calculated for public use is
described above.  The following table summarizes the calculation of total return
and yield for each Sub-Account, where applicable, through December 31, 1995.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To Hartford Life Insurance Company
Separate Account Two and to the
Owners of Units of Interest therein:
 
    We  have  audited  the accompanying  statement  of assets  &  liabilities of
Hartford Life  Insurance  Company  Separate  Account Two  (the  Account)  as  of
December  31, 1995, and  the related statement  of operations for  the year then
ended and statements of changes in net assets  for each of the two years in  the
period  then ended.  These financial  statements are  the responsibility  of the
Account's management.  Our responsibility  is  to express  an opinion  on  these
financial statements based on our audits.
 
    We  conducted  our audits  in  accordance with  generally  accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to  obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also  includes
assessing  the  accounting principles  used  and significant  estimates  made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement  presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
    In  our opinion, the financial statements  referred to above present fairly,
in all  material respects,  the financial  position of  Hartford Life  Insurance
Company  Separate  Account Two  as  of December  31,  1995, the  results  of its
operations for the year then ended and the changes in its net assets for each of
the two years  in the period  then ended in  conformity with generally  accepted
accounting principles.

                              SEPARATE ACCOUNT TWO
 
                        HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               DECEMBER 31, 1995
 
1. ORGANIZATION:
 
    Separate  Account Two (the Account) is  a separate investment account within
Hartford Life  Insurance  Company  (the  Company) and  is  registered  with  the
Securities  and Exchange Commission  (SEC) as a unit  investment trust under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Both the Company and the Account are
subject to supervision  and regulation  by the  Department of  Insurance of  the
State  of  Connecticut and  the SEC.  The Account  invests deposits  by variable
annuity contractholders of the  Company in various mutual  funds (the Funds)  as
directed by the contractholders.
 
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
    The  following  is  a  summary of  significant  accounting  policies  of the
Account, which are in accordance  with generally accepted accounting  principles
in the investment company industry:
 
    a)   SECURITY TRANSACTIONS--Security transactions  are recorded on the trade
       date (date the  order to buy  or sell is  executed). Cost of  investments
       sold  is determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend and capital
       gains income are accrued as of the ex-dividend date. Capital gains income
       represents dividends from  the Funds which  are characterized as  capital
       gains under tax regulations.
 
    b)   SECURITY  VALUATION--The investment  in shares  of the  Hartford, Smith
       Barney, TCI,  Fidelity and  Calvert Responsibily  Invested Series  mutual
       funds  are valued at the closing net  asset value per share as determined
       by the appropriate Fund as of December 31, 1995.
 
    c)  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--The operations of the Account form a part of,  and
       are taxed with, the total operations of the Company, which is taxed as an
       insurance  company under the Internal Revenue Code. Under current law, no
       federal income taxes are  payable with respect to  the operations of  the
       Account.
 
    d)   USE OF ESTIMATES--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  as of the date of  the financial statements and the reported
       amounts of income and  expenses during the  period. Operating results  in
       the  future  could  vary  from  the  amounts  derived  from  management's
       estimates.
 
3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:
 
    a)  MORTALITY AND EXPENSE  UNDERTAKINGS--The Company, as issuer of  variable
       annuity  contracts, provides the mortality  and expense undertakings and,
       with respect to the Account, receives a maximum annual fee of up to 1.25%
       of the Account's average daily net assets.
 
    b)   DEDUCTION  OF  ANNUAL  MAINTENANCE  FEE--Annual  maintenance  fees  are
       deducted  through  termination  of  units  of  interest  from  applicable
       contract owners' accounts, in accordance with the terms of the contracts.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To Hartford Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hartford Life
Insurance Company (a Connecticut corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of
Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company) and subsidiaries as of December
31, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of  income,
stockholder's equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1995.  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
consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements
are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated
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
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Hartford Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and
1994, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Hartford
Life Insurance Company adopted new accounting standards promulgated by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board, changing its methods of accounting, as of
January 1, 1994, for debt and equity securities.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.  The schedules listed in
the Index to Consolidated Financial Statements and Schedules are presented for
purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and
are not a required part of the basic consolidated financial statements.  These
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of the basic consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements taken as a
whole.

             HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
               NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                      (DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS)



1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(A)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These consolidated financial statements include Hartford Life Insurance Company
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ("Hartford Life" or the "Company"), ITT
Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company ("ILA") and ITT Hartford 
International Life Reassurance Corporation ("HLRe"), formerly American Skandia
Life Reinsurance Corporation.  Hartford Life is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company ("HLA").  Hartford Life is
ultimately owned by Hartford Fire Insurance Company ("Hartford Fire"), which is
ultimately owned by ITT Hartford Group, Inc. ("ITT Hartford"), formerly a
subsidiary of ITT Corporation ("ITT").  On December 19, 1995, ITT Corporation 
distributed all of the outstanding shares of ITT Hartford Group to ITT 
Corporation Shareholders of record in an action known herein as the 
"Distribution".  As a result of the Distribution, ITT Hartford became an 
independent publicly traded company.

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 
Company offers life, annuity, pension, and disability insurance products. 
These products are distributed and marketed by multiple distribution channels 
which include broker-dealers, agents and banks, as well as a captive sales 
force. Hartford Life conducts business primarily in the United States and is 
licensed to write business in all 50 states. The Company is headquartered in 
Simsbury, Connecticut and has 3,045 direct employees. 
 
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles which differ in certain material respects from
the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by various insurance
regulatory authorities.

(B)  CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Effective January 1, 1994, Hartford Life adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities".  The new standard requires, among other things,
that securities be classified as "held-to-maturity", "available-for-sale" or
"trading" based on Hartford Life's intentions with respect to the ultimate
disposition of the security and its ability to effect those intentions.  The
classification determines the appropriate accounting carrying value (cost basis
or fair value) and, in the case of fair value, whether the adjustment impacts
Stockholder's Equity directly or is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of
Income.  Investments in equity securities had previously been and continue to
be recorded at fair value with the corresponding impact included in
Stockholder's Equity.  Under SFAS No. 115,  Hartford Life's fixed maturities
are classified as "available-for-sale" and accordingly, these investments are
reflected at fair value with the corresponding impact included as a component
of Stockholder's Equity designated as "Unrealized loss on investments, net of
tax."  As with the underlying investment security, unrealized gains and losses
on derivative financial instruments are considered in determining the fair
value of the portfolios.  The impact of adoption was an increase to
Stockholder's Equity of $91.  Hartford Life's cash flows were not impacted by
this change in accounting principle.

(C)  REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenues for universal life policies and investment products consist of policy
charges for the cost of insurance, policy administration and surrender charges
assessed to policy account balances.  Premiums for traditional life insurance
policies are recognized as revenues when they are due from policyholders. 
Deferred acquisition costs are amortized using the retrospective deposit method
for universal life and other types of contracts where the payment pattern is
irregular or surrender charges are a significant source of profit and the
prospective deposit method is used where investment margins are the primary
source of profit.

(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,
mortality and morbidity assumptions which vary by plan, year of issue and
policy durations and include a provision for adverse deviation.  Other
policyholder funds which represent liabilities for universal life insurance and
investment products reflect policy account balances before applicable surrender
charges.

(E)  POLICYHOLDER REALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES
Realized gains and losses on security transactions associated with Hartford
Life's immediate participation guaranteed  contracts are excluded from 
revenues, 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.

(F)  DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
Policy acquisition costs, including commissions and certain underwriting
expenses associated with acquiring traditional life insurance products, are
deferred and amortized over the lesser of the estimated or actual contract
life.  For universal life insurance and investment products, acquisition costs
are being amortized generally in proportion to the present value of expected
gross profits from surrender charges, investment, mortality and expense
margins.

(G)  INVESTMENTS
Hartford Life's investments in fixed maturities include bonds, redeemable
preferred stock and commercial paper which are classified as "available-for-
sale" and accordingly are carried at market value with the after-tax difference
from cost reflected as a component of  Stockholder's Equity designated
"Unrealized loss on investments, net of tax". Equity securities, which include
common and non-redeemable preferred stocks, are carried at market value with
the after-tax difference from cost reflected in Stockholder's Equity.  Realized
investment gains and losses, after deducting life and pension policyholders'
share, are reported as a component of revenue and are determined on a specific
identification basis. 

(H)  DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Hartford Life uses a variety of derivative financial instruments including,
swaps, caps, floors, options, forwards and exchange traded financial futures 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. Hartford
Life does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading
purposes. Hartford Life's accounting for derivative financial 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", American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of 
Position 86-2, "Accounting for Options" and various Emerging Issues Task Force
pronouncements. Written options are in all cases used in conjunction with other
assets and derivatives as part of an overall risk management strategy. 
Derivative instruments are carried at values consistent with the asset or
liability being hedged.  Derivatives used to hedge fixed maturities or equities
are carried at fair value with the after-tax difference from cost reflected in
Stockholder's Equity.  Derivatives used to hedge other invested assets or
liabilities are carried at cost.

Derivatives, used as part of a risk management strategy, must be designated at
inception as a hedge and measured for effectiveness both at inception and on an
ongoing basis. Hartford Life's minimum correlation threshold for hedge
designation is 80%.  If correlation, which is assessed monthly and measured
based on a rolling three month average, falls below 80%, hedge accounting will
be terminated. Derivatives 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.  Synthetic
instrument accounting, consistent with industry practice, provides that the
synthetic asset is accounted for like the financial instrument it is intended
to replicate.  Derivatives which fail to meet risk management criteria 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 future receipt of product cash flows are deferred and, at the time of 
the ultimate purchase, reflected as a basis adjustment to the purchased 
asset.  Gains or losses on futures used in invested asset risk management are 
deferred and adjusted into the 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 investment  income over the remaining asset life.

Open forward commitment contracts are marked to market through Stockholder's
Equity.  Such contracts are recorded at settlement by recording the purchase of
the specified securities at the previously committed price.  Gains or losses
resulting from the termination of the 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 hedge. 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 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 earnings.  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 gain or loss. 

Premiums paid on purchased floor or cap agreements and the premium received on
issued floor or cap  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.

(I)  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Transactions of Hartford Life with its parent and affiliates relate principally
to tax settlements, insurance coverage, rental and service fees and payment of
dividends and capital contributions.  In addition, certain affiliated insurance
companies purchased group annuity contracts from Hartford Life to fund pension
costs and claim annuities to settle casualty claims.

On June 30, 1995, the assets of Lyndon Insurance Company ("Lyndon") were 
contributed to ILA.  As a result, ILA received approximately $365 in fixed 
maturities, equity securities and cash, $26 in receivables, $187 of current 
tax liability, $20 in deferred tax liability, and $3 of other liabilities.  
The excess of assets over liabilities of $181 were recorded as an increase to 
paid-in capital. 

Substantially all general insurance expenses related to Hartford Life,
including rent expenses, are initially paid by Hartford Fire.  Direct expenses
are allocated to Hartford Life using specific identification and indirect
expenses are allocated using other applicable methods.

The rent paid to Hartford Fire for the space occupied by Hartford Life was $3
in 1995, 1994, and 1993 respectively.  Hartford Life expects to pay rent of $3
in 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000, respectively and $57 thereafter, over the
contract life of the lease.

(J) DIVIDEND TO POLICYHOLDERS 
Dividends to policyholders primarily represent those amounts paid to corporate
owned life insurance ("COLI") policyholders. These dividend liabilities, which
appear as other policyholder funds on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, are
recorded when approved by the board of directors.
 
See Note (4) for the related party coinsurance agreements.

(a) Inverse floaters are variations of CMO's for which the coupon rates
move inversely with an index rate (e.g. 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, Hartford Life uses a variety of
derivative instruments, primarily interest rate swaps and issued floors.

(b) Includes issued caps $475 with a weighted average strike rate of 8.5%
(ranging from 7.0% to 10.4%) and over 85% mature in 2000 through 2004.  Issued
floors totaled $236, have a weighted average strike rate of 8.1% (ranging 
from 5.3% to 10.9%) and mature through 2007 with 76% maturing by 2004.

(c) Comprised of purchased floors of $1.8 billion and purchased caps of $1.7
billion.  The floors have a weighted average strike price of 5.8% (ranging from
3.7% to 6.8%) and over 85% mature in 1997 through 1999.  The caps have a
weighted average strike price of 7.5% (ranging from 4.5% and 10.1%) and over
82% mature in 1997 through 1999.

(d) Over 95% of futures contracts expire before December 31, 1996.

(e) Deferred gains and losses on anticipatory transactions are included in the
carrying value of bond investments in the consolidated balance sheets.  At the
time of  the ultimate purchase, they are reflected as a basis adjustment to the
purchased asset.  At December 31, 1995, there were $5.3 in net deferred losses
for futures, interest rate swaps and purchased options.

(f) The following table summarizes the maturities by notional value of interest
rate swaps outstanding at December 31, 1995 and the related weighted average
interest pay rate or receive rate assuming current market conditions:

In addition to risk management through derivative financial instruments
pertaining to the investment portfolio, interest rate sensitivity related to
certain Company liabilities was altered primarily through interest rate swap
agreements. The notional

                                         F-11

<PAGE>

amount of the liability agreements in which Hartford Life generally pays one
variable rate in exchange for another, was $1.7 billion at December 31, 1995 and
1994 respectively.  The weighted average pay rate is 5.9%; the weighted average
receive rate is 6.0% , and these agreements mature at various times through
2001.

(F)  CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Hartford Life has a reinsurance recoverable of $5.6 billion from Mutual Benefit
Life Assurance Corporation (Mutual Benefit).  The risk of Mutual Benefit
becoming insolvent is mitigated by the reinsurance agreement's requirement that
the assets be kept in a security trust with Hartford Life as sole beneficiary. 
Excluding investments in U.S. government and agencies, Hartford Life has no
other significant concentrations of credit risk.

Included in fixed maturity investments at December 31, 1995 were $39 of 
Orange County, California Pension Obligation Bonds, $17 of which were carried 
in the general account and $22 which were included in Hartford Life's 
guaranteed separate accounts. During 1995 all interest payments due were 
received.  While Orange County is currently operating under Protection of 
Chapter 9 of the Federal Bankruptcy Laws, Hartford Life believes the bonds 
are not impaired other than on a temporary basis.

fixed maturities by component, along with the gross unrealized gains and losses:

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of fixed maturities at December 31,
1995, by maturity, are shown below.  Asset backed securities are distributed to
maturity year based on estimates of the rate of future prepayments of principal
over the remaining life of the securities.  Expected maturities differ from
contractual maturities reflecting the borrowers' rights to call or prepay their
obligations.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instrument: fair value for fixed maturities and equity
securities approximate those quotations published by applicable stock exchanges
or are received from other reliable sources; policy and mortgage loan carrying
amounts approximate fair value; investments in partnerships and trusts are based
on external market valuations from partnership and trust management; and other
policy claims and benefits payable are determined by estimating future cash
flows discounted at the current market rate.

3.  INCOME TAX
Hartford Life is included in ITT Hartford Group's consolidated U.S. Federal 
income tax return and remits to (receives from) ITT Hartford Group, Inc. a 
current income tax provision (benefit) computed in accordance with the tax 
sharing arrangements between its insurance subsidiaries.  The effective tax 
rate was 32% in 1995 and 1994, and approximates the U.S. statutory tax rate 
of 35% in 1993.

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 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,
1995 was $37.

4.  REINSURANCE
Hartford Life cedes insurance to non-affiliated insurers in order to limit its
maximum loss.  Such transfer does not relieve Hartford Life of its primary
liability.  Hartford Life also assumes insurance from other  insurers.  Group
life and accident and health insurance  business is substantially reinsured to
affiliated companies.

Life insurance net retained premiums were comprised of the following:

Life reinsurance recoveries, which reduced death and other benefits, for the
years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 approximated $220, $164, and $149,
respectively.

In December 1994, Hartford Life assumed from a third party approximately $500 
of corporate owned life insurance reserves on a coinsurance basis. In 
December 1995, this block of business was reinsured to HLRe utilizing 
modified coinsurance, with the assets and policy liabilities placed in a 
separate account. In October 1994, HLRe recaptured approximately $500 of 
corporate owned life insurance from a third party reinsurer.  Subsequent to 
this transaction, Hartford Life and HLRe restructured their coinsurance 
agreement from coinsurance to modified coinsurance, with the assets and 
policy liabilities placed in the separate account. These transactions did not 
have a material impact on consolidated net income.

Also in December 1994, ILA ceded to a third party $1.0 billion in individual
fixed and variable annuities on a modified coinsurance basis. In December 1995,
Hartford Life ceded approximately $1.2 billion in individual variable annuities
on a modified coinsurance basis to a third party. These transactions did not
have a material impact on consolidated net income.

In May 1994, Hartford Life assumed the life insurance policies and the 
individual annuities of Pacific Standard with reserves and account values of 
approximately $400.  Hartford Life received cash and investment grade assets  
to support the life insurance and individual annuity contract obligations 
assumed.

In November 1993, ILA acquired, through an assumption reinsurance 
transaction, substantially all of the individual fixed and variable annuity 
business of HLA. As a result of this transaction, the assets and liabilities 
of Hartford Life increased approximately $1 billion.  The excess of 
liabilities assumed over assets received, of $2, was recorded as a decrease 
to capital surplus. The remaining $41 in assets and liabilities were 
transferred in October 1995.  The impact on consolidated net income was not 
significant.

In August 1993, Hartford Life received assets of $300 for assuming the group 
COLI contract obligations of Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company, through 
an assumption reinsurance transaction.  Under the terms of the agreement, 
Hartford Life coinsured back 75% of the liabilities to Mutual Benefit Life 
Insurance Company.  All assets supporting Mutual Benefit's reinsurance 
liability to Hartford Life are placed in a "security trust", with Hartford 
Life as the sole beneficiary.  The impact on 1993 consolidated net income was 
not significant.

5.  PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
Hartford Life's employees are included in Hartford Fire'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.  Hartford Life's funding policy is to contribute annually
an amount between the minimum funding requirements set forth in the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the maximum amount that can be
deducted for Federal income tax purposes. Generally, pension costs are funded
through the purchase of Hartford Life's group pension contracts. The cost to
Hartford Life was approximately $2, $2, and $3 in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

Hartford Life provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for
eligible retired employees. A substantial portion of Hartford Life's employees
may become eligible for these benefits upon retirement. Hartford Life'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.  Hartford Life 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
Hartford Fire were immaterial for 1995, 1994, and 1993 respectively.

The assumed rate of future increases in the per capita cost of health care (the
health care trend rate) was 10.1% for 1995, decreasing ratably to 6.0% in the
year 2001.  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 the covered employees.

8.  SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
  Hartford Life maintains separate account assets and liabilities totaling $36.3
  billion and $22.8 billion at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively which 
  are reported at fair value.  Separate account assets are segregated from other
  investments and investment income and gains and losses accrue directly to the
  policyholder.  Separate accounts reflect two categories of risk assumption: 
  non-guaranteed separate accounts totaling $25.9 billion and $14.8 billion at
  December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, wherein the policyholder assumes the
  investment risk, and guaranteed separate account assets totaling $10.4 billion
  and $8.0 billion at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, wherein Hartford
  Life contractually guarantees either a minimum return or account value to the
  policyholder.  Included in the non-guaranteed category are policy loans 
  totaling $1.7 billion and $0.5 billion at December 31, 1995 and 1994, 
  respectively. Investment income (including investment 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, net of minimum guarantees, were $387, $256, and $189, in 
  1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.

                                         F-16

<PAGE>


  The guaranteed separate accounts include modified guaranteed individual 
  annuity, and modified guaranteed life insurance.  The average credit interest 
  rate on these contracts is 6.62%.  The assets that support these liabilities 
  were comprised of $10.4 billion in bonds at December 31, 1995.  The portfolios
  are segregated from other investments and are managed so as to minimize 
  liquidity and interest rate risk.  In order to minimize the risk of 
  disintermediation associated with early withdrawals, individual 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 $133 million in carrying value 
  and $2.7 billion in notional amounts at December 31, 1995. 

9.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
  In August 1994, Hartford Life renewed a two year note purchase facility
  agreement which in certain instances obligates Hartford Life to purchase up to
  $100 million in collateralized notes from a third party.  Hartford Life is
  receiving fees for this commitment.  At December 31, 1995, Hartford Life had 
  not purchased any notes under this agreement.

  Under insurance guaranty fund laws in most states, insurers doing business
  therein can be assessed up to prescribed limits for policyholder losses 
  incurred by insolvent companies.  The amount of any future assessments on 
  Hartford Life under these laws cannot be reasonably estimated.  Most of these 
  laws do provide, however, that an assessment may be excused or deferred if it 
  would threaten an insurer's own financial strength.  Additionally, guaranty 
  fund assessments are used to reduce state premium taxes paid by the Company in
  certain states.  Hartford Life paid guaranty fund assessments of approximately
  $10, $8 and $6 in 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.

  Hartford Life is involved in various legal actions, some of which involve 
  claims for substantial amounts. In the opinion of management the ultimate 
  liability with respect to such lawsuits, as well as other contingencies, is 
  not considered material in relation to the consolidated financial position of 
  Hartford Life.

Item 28. Indemnification

         Under Section 33-320a of the Connecticut General Statutes, the
         Registrant must indemnify a director or officer against judgments,
         fines, penalties, amounts paid in


<PAGE>

                                     -4-

         settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, for
         actions brought or threatened to be brought against him in his
         capacity as a director or officer when it is determined by certain
         disinterested parties that he acted in good faith and in a manner he
         reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Registrant.  In
         any criminal action or proceeding, it also must be determined that the
         director or officer had no reason to believe his conduct was unlawful.
         The director or officer must also be indemnified when he is successful
         on the merits in the defense of a proceeding or in circumstances where
         a court determines that he is fairly and reasonably entitled to be
         indemnified, and the court approves the amount.  In shareholder
         derivative suits, the director or officer must be finally adjudged not
         to have breached his duty to the Registrant or a court must determine
         that he is fairly and reasonably entitled to be indemnified and must
         approve the amount.  In a claim based upon the director's or officer's
         purchase or sale of the Registrant's securities, the director of
         officer may obtain indemnification only if a court determines that, in
         view of all the circumstances, he is fairly and reasonably entitled to
         be indemnified, and then for such amount as the court shall determine.

         The foregoing statements are specifically made subject to the detailed
         provisions of Section 33-320a.

         The directors and officers of Hartford Life and Hartford Securities
         Distribution Company, Inc. ("HSD") are covered under a directors and
         officers liability insurance policy issued to ITT Hartford 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.

      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, 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.

                           PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of the June 26, 1995, made by and between HARTFORD LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY ("HLIC" or the "Sponsor"), a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of the State of Connecticut, and HARTFORD SECURITIES
DISTRIBUTION COMPANY, INC. ("HSD"), a corporation organized and existing under
the laws of the State of Connecticut,

                                     WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of HLIC has made provision for the establishment
of  separate accounts within HLIC in accordance with the laws of the State of
Connecticut, which separate accounts were organized and are established and
registered as unit investment trust type investment companies with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940
("1940 Act"), as amended, and which are designated Hartford Life Insurance
Company DC Variable Account -I, Hartford Life Insurance Company Separate Account
Two (DC Variable Account-II), Hartford Life Insurance Company Separate Account
Two (Variable Account A), Hartford Life Insurance Company Separate Account Two
(QP Variable Account), and Hartford Life Insurance Company Separate Account Two
(NQ Variable Account), (referred to collectively as the "Separate Accounts");
and

WHEREAS, HSD offers to the public a certain Group Variable Annuity Contracts
(the "Contract") issued by HLIC with respect to the UIT units of interest
thereunder which are registered under the Securities Act of 1933 ("1933 Act"),
as amended; and

    WHEREAS, HSD has previously agreed to act as distributor in connection with
offers and sales of the Contract under the terms and conditions set forth in
this Principal Underwriter Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements made herein, HLIC and
HSD agree as follows:

                                            I.     

                                       HSD'S DUTIES

1.  HSD, as successor principal underwriter to Hartford Equity Sales Company,
    Inc. for the Contract, will use its best efforts to effect offers and sales
    of the Contract through broker-dealers that are members of the National
    Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and whose registered
    representatives are duly licensed as insurance agents of HLIC.  HSD is
    responsible for compliance with all applicable requirements of the 1933
    Act, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act"), as
    amended, and the 1940 Act, as amended, and the rules and regulations
    relating to the sales and distribution of the Contract, the need for which
    arises out of its duties as principal underwriter of said Contract and
    relating to the creation of the UIT.

<PAGE>

2.  HSD agrees that it will not use any prospectus, sales literature, or any
    other printed matter or material or offer for sale or sell the Contract if
    any of the foregoing in any way represent the duties, obligations, or
    liabilities of HLIC as being greater than, or different from, such duties,
    obligations and liabilities as are set forth in this Agreement, as it may
    be amended from time to time.

3.  HSD agrees that it will utilize the then currently effective prospectus
    relating to the UIT's Contracts in connection with its selling efforts.

    As to the other types of sales materials, HSD agrees that it will use only
    sales materials which conform to the requirements of federal and state
    insurance laws and regulations and which have been filed, where necessary,
    with the appropriate regulatory authorities.

4.  HSD agrees that it or its duly designated agent shall maintain records of
    the name and address of, and the securities issued by the UIT and held by,
    every holder of any security issued pursuant to this Agreement, as required
    by the Section 26(a)(4) of the 1940 Act, as amended.

5.  HSD's services pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed to be
    exclusive, and it may render similar services and act as an underwriter,
    distributor, or dealer for other investment companies in the offering of
    their shares.

6.  In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or
    reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder on the part of
    HSD, HSD shall not be subject to liability under a Contract for any act or
    omission in the course, or connected with, rendering services hereunder.

                                         II.

1.  The UIT reserves the right at any time to suspend or limit the public
    offering of the Contracts upon 30 days' written notice to HSD, except where
    the notice period may be shortened because of legal action taken by any
    regulatory agency.

2.  The UIT agrees to advice HSD immediately:

    (a)  Of any request by the Securities and Exchange Commission for amendment
         of its 1933 Act registration statement or for additional information;

    (b)  Of the issuance by the Securities and Exchange Commission of any stop
         order suspending the effectiveness of the 1933 Act registration
         statement relating to units of interest issued with respect to the UIT
         or of the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;

<PAGE>


    (c)  Of the happening of any material event, if known, which makes untrue
         any statement in said 1933 Act registration statement or which
         requires a change therein in order to make any statement therein not
         misleading.

    HLIC will furnish to HSD such information with respect to the UIT and the
    Contracts in such form and signed by such of its officers and directors and
    HSD may reasonably request and will warrant that the statements therein
    contained when so signed will be true and correct.  HLIC will also furnish,
    from time to time, such additional information regarding the UIT's
    financial condition as HSD may reasonably request.

                                         III.

                                     COMPENSATION

In accordance with an Expense Reimbursement Agreement between HLIC and HSD, HSD
is obligated to reimburse HSD for all operating expenses associated with the
services provided on behalf of the UIT under this Principal Underwriter
Agreement.  No additional compensation is payable in excess of that required
under the Expense Reimbursement Agreement.

                                         IV.

                   RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER

HSD may resign as a Principal Underwriter hereunder, upon 120 days' prior
written notice to HLIC.  However, such resignation shall not become effective
until either the UIT has been completely liquidated and the proceeds of the
liquidation distributed through HLIC to the Contract owners or a successor
Principal Underwriter has been designated and has accepted its duties.

                                          V.

                                    MISCELLANEOUS

1.  This Agreement may not be assigned by any of the parties hereto without the
    written consent of the other party.

2.  All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in
    writing and shall be delivered by hand or mailed first class, postage
    prepaid, addressed as follows:

    to the other.

3.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
    shall be deemed an original and all of which shall be deemed one
    instrument, and an executed copy of this Agreement and all amendments
    hereto shall be kept on file by the Sponsor and shall be open to inspection

         specifically approved at least annually by a majority of the members
         of the Board of Directors of HLIC.

    (b)  This Agreement (1) may be terminated at any time, without the payment
         of any penalty, either by a vote of a majority of the members of the

                             BROKER-DEALER SALES AND
                              SUPERVISION AGREEMENT

This Broker-Dealer Sales and Supervision Agreement ("Agreement")
dated ____________________ is made by and between Hartford Life Insurance
Company and ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company (referred to
collectively as "Companies"), Hartford Securities Distribution Company, Inc.
("Distributor"), a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act")
and a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD")
and __________________________________, who is also a broker-dealer registered
with the SEC under the 1934 Act and a member of the NASD ("Broker-Dealer"), and
any and all undersigned insurance agency affiliates ("Affiliates") of Broker-
Dealer.

WHEREAS, Companies offer certain variable life insurance policies and variable
and modified guaranteed annuity contracts which are deemed to be securities
under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Registered Products"); and

WHEREAS, Companies wish to appoint the Broker-Dealer and Affiliates as agents of
the Companies for the solicitation and procurement of applications for
Registered Products; and

WHEREAS, Distributor is the principal underwriter of the Registered Products;
and

WHEREAS, Distributor anticipates having registered representatives who are
associated with Broker-Dealer ("Registered Representatives"), who are NASD
registered and are duly licensed under applicable state insurance law and
appointed as life insurance agents of Companies solicit and sell the Registered
Products; and

WHEREAS, Distributor acknowledges that the Broker-Dealer will provide certain
supervisory and administrative services to Registered Representatives who are
associated with the Broker-Dealer in connection with the solicitation, service
and sale of the Registered Products; and

WHEREAS, Broker-Dealer agrees to provide the aforementioned supervisory services
to its Registered Representatives who have been appointed by the Companies to
sell the Registered Products.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this
Agreement, the parties agree to the following:


  I. APPOINTMENT OF THE BROKER-DEALER

     The Companies hereby appoint Broker-Dealer as an agent of the Companies for
     the solicitation and procurement of applications for the Registered
     Products offered by the Companies, as outlined in Exhibit A attached
     herein, in all states in which the Companies are authorized to do business
     and in which Broker-Dealer or any Affiliates are properly licensed.
     Distributor hereby authorizes Broker-Dealer under the securities laws to
     supervise Registered Representatives in connection with the solicitation,
     service and sale of the Registered Products.

 II. AUTHORITY OF THE BROKER-DEALER

<PAGE>

     Broker-Dealer has the authority to represent Distributor and Companies only
     to the extent expressly granted in this Agreement.  Broker-Dealer and any
     Registered Representatives shall not hold themselves out to be employees of
     Companies or Distributor in any dealings with the public.  Broker-Dealer
     and any Registered Representatives shall be independent contractors as to
     Distributor or Companies.  Nothing contained herein is intended to create a
     relationship of employer and employee between Broker-Dealer and Distributor
     or Companies or between Registered Representatives and Distributor or
     Companies.

III. BROKER-DEALER REPRESENTATION

     Broker-Dealer represents that it is a registered broker-dealer under the
     1934 Act, a member in good standing of the NASD, and is registered as a
     broker-dealer under state law to the extent necessary to perform the duties
     described in this Agreement.  Broker-Dealer represents that its Registered
     Representatives, who will be soliciting applications for the Registered
     Products, will be duly registered representatives associated with Broker-
     Dealer and that they will be representatives in good standing with
     accreditation as required by the NASD to sell the Registered Products.
     Broker-Dealer agrees to abide by all rules and regulations of the NASD,
     including its Rules of Fair Practice, and to comply with all applicable
     state and federal laws and the rules and regulations of authorized
     regulatory agencies affecting the sale of the Registered Products.

 IV. BROKER-DEALER OBLIGATIONS

   (a)     TRAINING AND SUPERVISION
           Broker-Dealer has full responsibility for the training and
           supervision of all Registered Representatives associated with
           Broker-Dealer and any other persons who are engaged directly or
           indirectly in the offer or sale of the Registered Products.  Broker-
           Dealer shall, during the term of this Agreement, establish and
           implement reasonable procedures for periodic inspection and
           supervision of sales practices of its Registered Representatives.

           If a Registered Representative ceases to be a Registered
           Representative of Broker-Dealer, is disqualified for continued
           registration or has their registration suspended by the NASD or
           otherwise fails to meet the rules and standards imposed by Broker-
           Dealer, Broker-Dealer shall immediately notify such Registered
           Representative that he or she is no longer authorized to solicit
           applications, on behalf of the Companies, for the sale of Registered
           Products.  Broker-Dealer shall immediately notify Distributor of
           such termination or suspension.

   (b)     SOLICITATION
           Broker-Dealer agrees to supervise its Registered Representatives so
           that they will only solicit applications in states where the
           Registered Products are approved for sale in accordance with
           applicable state and federal laws.  Broker-Dealer shall be notified
           by Companies or Distributor of the availability of the Registered
           Products in each state.

   (c)     NO CHURNING
           Broker-Dealer and any Registered Representatives shall not make any
           misrepresentation or incomplete comparison of products for the
           purpose of inducing a policyholder to lapse, forfeit or surrender
           its insurance in favor of purchasing a Registered Product.

   (d)     PROSPECTUS DELIVERY AND SUITABILITY REQUIREMENTS
           Broker-Dealer shall ensure that its Registered Representatives
           comply with the prospectus delivery requirements under the
           Securities Act of 1933.  In addition, Broker-Dealer shall ensure
           that its Registered Representatives shall not make recommendations
           to an applicant to purchase a Registered Product in the absence of
           reasonable grounds to believe that the


                                        2
<PAGE>


           purchase is suitable for such applicant, as outlined in the
           suitability requirements of the 1934 Act and the NASD Rules of Fair
           Practice.  Broker-Dealer shall  ensure that each application
           obtained by its Registered Representatives shall bear evidence of
           approval by one of its principals indicating that the application
           has been reviewed for suitability.


   (e)     PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL
           Broker-Dealer and its Registered Representatives are not authorized
           to provide any information or make any representation in connection
           with this Agreement or the solicitation of the Registered Products
           other than those contained in the prospectus or other promotional
           material produced or authorized by Companies or Distributor.

           Broker-Dealer agrees that if it develops any promotional material
           for sales, training, explanatory or other purposes in connection
           with the solicitation of applications for Registered Products,
           including generic advertising and/or training materials which may be
           used in connection with the sale of Registered Products, it will
           obtain the prior written consent of Distributor, and where
           appropriate, approval of Companies, such approval not to be
           unreasonably withheld.

   (f)     RECORD KEEPING
           Broker-Dealer is responsible for maintaining the records of its
           Registered Representatives.  Broker-Dealer shall maintain such other
           records as are required of it by applicable laws and regulations.
           The books, accounts and records maintained by Broker-Dealer that
           relate to the sale of the Registered Products, or dealings with the
           Companies, Distributor and/or Broker-Dealer shall be maintained so
           as to clearly and accurately disclose the nature and details of each
           transaction.

           Broker-Dealer acknowledges that all the records maintained by
           Broker-Dealer relating to the solicitation, service or sale of the
           Registered Products subject to this Agreement, including but not
           limited to applications, authorization cards, complaint files and
           suitability reviews, shall be available to Companies and Distributor
           upon request during normal business hours.  Companies and
           Distributor may retain copies of any such records which Companies
           and Distributor, in their discretion, deems necessary or desirable
           to keep.

   (g)     REFUND OF COMPENSATION
           Broker-Dealer agrees to repay Companies the total amount of any
           compensation which may have been paid to it within thirty (30)
           business days of notice of the request for such refund should
           Companies for any reason return any premium on a Registered Product
           which was solicited by a Registered Representative of Broker-Dealer.


   (h)     PREMIUM COLLECTION
           Broker-Dealer only has the authority to collect initial premiums
           unless specifically set forth in the applicable commission schedule.
           Unless previously authorized by Distributor, neither Broker-Dealer
           nor any of its Registered Representatives shall have any right to
           withhold or deduct any part of any premium it shall receive for
           purposes of payment of commission or otherwise.



V. COMPANIES AND/OR DISTRIBUTOR OBLIGATIONS

   (a)     PROSPECTUS/PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL
           Companies and/or Distributor will provide Broker-Dealer with
           reasonable quantities of the currently effective prospectus for the

<PAGE>


           material which has been filed with the NASD, and applicable state
           insurance departments.

   (b)     COMPENSATION
           Distributor will pay Broker-Dealer as full compensation for all
           services rendered by Broker-Dealer under this Agreement, commissions

           of time as set forth in the Commission Schedules attached to this
           Agreement or subsequently made a part hereof, and which are in
           effect at the time such Registered Products are sold.  The manner of
           commission payments (I.E. fronted or trail) is not subject to change
           after the effective date of a contract for which the compensation is
           payable.

           Distributor or Companies may change the Commission Schedules
           attached to this Agreement at any time.  Such change shall become
           effective only when Distributor or Companies provide the Broker-
           Dealer with written notice of the change.  No such change shall
           affect any contracts issued upon applications received by Companies
           at Companies' Home Office prior to the effective date of such
           change.

           Distributor agrees to identify to Broker-Dealer for each such
           payment, the name of the Registered Representative of Broker-Dealer
           who solicited each contract covered by the payment.  Distributor
           will not compensate Broker-Dealer for any Registered Product which
           is tendered for redemption after acceptance of the application.  Any
           chargebacks will be assessed against the Broker-Dealer of record at
           the time of the redemption.

           Distributor will only compensate Broker-Dealer or Affiliates, as
           outlined below, for those applications accepted by Companies, and
           only after receipt by Companies at Companies' Home Office or at such
           other location as Companies may designate from time to time for its
           various lines of business, of the required premium and compliance by
           Broker-Dealer with any outstanding contract and prospectus delivery
           requirements.

           In the event that this Agreement terminates for fraudulent
           activities or due to a material breach by the Broker-Dealer,
           Distributor will only pay to Broker-Dealer or Affiliate commissions
           or other compensation earned prior to discovery of events requiring
           termination. No further commissions or other compensation shall
           thereafter be payable.

   (c)     COMPENSATION PAYABLE TO AFFILIATES
           If Broker-Dealer is unable to comply with state licensing
           requirements because of a legal impediment which prohibits a non-
           domiciliary corporation from becoming a licensed insurance agency or
           prohibits non-resident ownership of a licensed insurance agency,
           Distributor agrees to pay compensation to Broker-Dealer's
           contractually affiliated insurance agency, a wholly-owned life
           agency affiliate of Broker-Dealer, or a Registered Representative or
           principal of Broker-Dealer who is properly state licensed.  As
           appropriate, any reference in this Agreement to Broker-Dealer shall
           apply equally to such Affiliate. Distributor agrees to pay
           compensation to an Affiliate subject to Affiliates agreement to
           comply with the requirements of Exhibit B, attached hereto.


 VI.   TERMINATION

   (a)     This Agreement may be terminated by any party by giving thirty (30)
           days' notice in writing to the other party.

   (b)     Such notice of termination shall be mailed to the last known address

                                    EXHIBIT B

In accordance with Section V.(c) of the Broker-Dealer-Dealer Sales and
Supervision Agreement, no compensation is payable unless Broker-Dealer and
Registered Representative have first complied with all applicable state
insurance laws, rules and regulations.  Distributor must ensure that any Broker-
Dealer with whom Distributor intends to enter into an Agreement and any
Registered Representatives meet the licensing and registration requirements of
the state(s) Broker-Dealer operates in and the NASD.

Companies are required by the Insurance Department in all 50 states to pay
compensation only to individuals and entities that are properly insurance
licensed and appointed.  For registered products, Distributor must also comply
with NASD regulations that require Distributor to pay compensation to an NASD
registered Broker-Dealer.  Distributor must comply with both state and NASD
requirements.

Distributor requires confirmation that Broker-Dealer holds current state
insurance licenses or markets insurance products through a contractual affiliate
or wholly owned life agency, which is properly insurance licensed.  If Broker-
Dealer is properly state licensed then compensation may be paid to Broker-Dealer
in compliance with both state and NASD requirements.

If Broker-Dealer is not state insurance licensed and relies on the licensing of
a contractual affiliate or wholly owned life agency, the SEC has issued a number
of letters indicating that, under specific limited circumstances, it will take
"no action" against insurers (Distributor) paying compensation on registered
products to Broker-Dealer's contractual affiliate or wholly owned life agency.
At the request of Broker-Dealer, Distributor will provide copies of several of
these letters as well as a summary of their requirements.

If Broker-Dealer intends to rely on one of these "no-action" letters, legal
counsel for Broker-Dealer must confirm to Distributor in writing that all of the
circumstances of any one of the SEC no-action letters are applicable.  Broker-
Dealer's counsel must summarize each point upon which the no-action relief was
granted and represent that Broker-Dealer's method of operation is identical or
meets the same criteria.  Broker-Dealer's counsel must also confirm that, to the
best of counsel's knowledge, the SEC has not rescinded or modified its no-action
position since the letter was released.

The Broker-Dealer Sales and Supervision Agreement will not be finalized and no
new applications for registered products will be accepted or no new compensation
will be payable unless the appropriate proof of state licensing or no-action
relief is confirmed.  In addition to a letter from Broker-Dealer's counsel,
copies of the following documentation is required:

     --   life insurance licenses for all states in which Broker-Dealer holds
          these licenses and intends to operate and/or;

     --   life insurance licenses for any contractual affiliate or wholly owned
          life agency; and

     --   the SEC No-Action Letter that will be relied upon.


If you have any questions regarding these matters, please contact your Life
Licensing and Contracting representative.

                the rights, options and privileges granted by this contract or
                permitted by the Company and to agree with the Company to any
                change in or amendment to the contract.

                BENEFICIARY

                The designation of a Beneficiary will remain in effect until
                changed by the Participant as hereafter provided.

                Changes in designation of the Beneficiary may be made during the
                lifetime of the Participant by written notice to the Company
                provided, however, that when a Beneficiary has been designated
                irrevocably, such designation cannot be changed or revoked
                without such Beneficiary's written consent.  Upon receipt of
                such notice and written consent, if required, at the Offices of
                the Company, the new designation will take effect as of the date
                the notice is signed, whether or not the Participant is alive at
                the time of receipt of such notice subject to any payment made
                or other action taken by the Company before such receipt.

                At the Participant's death the Beneficiary will be as provided
                in the beneficiary designation then in effect.  If no
                beneficiary designation is then in effect or if there is no
                designated Beneficiary living, the Participant's estate will be
                the Beneficiary.
                
                ASSIGNMENT

                This contract and the rights title and interest in Participant's
                Individual Accounts may not be transferred, assigned or pledged
                to anyone other than the Company.
GENERAL 
PROVISIONS
     
                THE CONTRACT

                This contract and the application for the contract which is
                attached hereto when issued to the Contract Owner, constitute
                the entire contract.  All statements in the application shall,
                in the absence of fraud, be deemed representations and not
                warranties.  No statement shall avoid this contract or be used
                in defense of a claim under it unless contained in the written
                application for this contract.

<PAGE>

                Contract Years, months and anniversaries shall be computed from
                the effective date of this contract.

                MODIFICATION OF THE CONTRACT

                This contract may be modified at any time by written agreement
                between the Contract Owner and the Company.  No modification
                will affect the amount or term of any annuities begun prior to
                the effective date of the modification, unless it is required to
                conform this contract to, or give the Contract Owner and
                Participating Employers the benefit of, any federal or state
                statutes or any rules or regulation of the United States
                Treasury Department.
                
                The Company reserves the right to modify the contract, but only
                if such modification:  (a) is necessary to make the contract or
                the Separate Account comply with any law or regulation issued by
                a governmental agency to which the Company is subject; (b) is
                necessary to assure continued qualification of the contract
                under the Internal Revenue Code or other federal or state laws
                relating to retirement annuities or annuity contracts; (c) is
                necessary to reflect a change in the operation of the Separate
                Account; (d) provides additional Separate Account options; or
                (e) withdraws Separate Account options.  In the event of any
                such modification, the Company will provide notice to the
                Contract Owner, or to the payee(s) during the annuity period. 
                The Company may also make appropriate endorsement in the
                contract to reflect such modification.
                
                On and after the fifth contract anniversary, the Company may
                change from time to time any or all of the terms of this
                contract by giving 90 days' advance written notice of such
                change to the Contract Owner except that the annuity tables,
                guaranteed interest rates and Contingent Deferred Sales Charge
                which are applicable on the Date of Coverage of a Participant's
                Individual Account under this contract will continue to be
                applicable to all contributions made to such Account which in
                any year do not exceed three times the total contributions made
                to such Account during the initial Participant's Contract Year. 
                In addition, the limitations on the deductions for the
                mortality, expense risks, administrative undertakings and the
                Annual Policy Fee will continue to apply in all Contract Years.

                No modification of this contract shall be made except over the
                signature of the President, a Vice President, a Secretary, or an
                Assistant Secretary of the Company.

                SUSPENSION OF THE CONTRACT

                This contract may be suspended by the Contract Owner by written
                notice to the Company at its Office in Hartford, Connecticut at
                least 90 days prior to the effective date of such suspension. 
                The contract will be suspended automatically on a contract
                anniversary if the Contract Owner fails to assent to any
                modifications, as described under Modification of the Contract,
                above, which would have been effective on or before that
                contract anniversary.  On suspension, contributions will be
                accepted by the Company on behalf of Participants covered under
                the contract prior to the date of suspension, but no
                contributions will be accepted on behalf of new Participants. 
                Suspension of the contract will not affect payments to be made
                by the Company under an Annuity which commenced prior to the
                date of suspension.

                CHANGE TO A PAID-UP CONTRACT

                The contract will be deemed paid-up within 30 days after the end
                of the Contract Year if the Contract Owner has not remitted a
                contribution to the Company during the preceding twelve-month
                period.  Effective with a change to paid-up status, no further
                contributions will be accepted by the Company and each
                participant will be considered an inactive Participant until the
                commencement of annuity payments on his behalf or until the
                value of a Participant's Individual Account is disbursed or
                applied in accordance with the Termination 

<PAGE>

                Provisions.

                NON-PARTICIPATING

                This contract does not share in the surplus earnings of the
                Company.

                MISSTATEMENT OF AGE

                If the age or sex of an Annuitant has been misstated, the amount
                of the Annuity payable by the Company shall be that provided by
                the values under this contract allocated to effect such annuity
                on the basis of the corrected information, without changing the
                date of the first payment of such annuity.

                Any underpayments by the Company shall be made up immediately
                and any overpayments shall be charged against future amount
                becoming payable.

                REPORTS TO THE CONTRACT OWNER

                The Company will at the end of each calendar year quarter,
                transmit to each Contract Owner a written statement of account
                showing the total value of General Account and Separate Account
                interests held in each Participant's Individual Account under
                this contract. 
GENERAL 
PROVISIONS      VOTING RIGHTS
(CONTINUED)          
                The Company shall cause the Participants to be advised of any
                Fund shareholders' meetings or of the shareholders' meetings of
                any other Fund the shares of which may be held under this
                contract at which the shares held for Participant's Individual
                Accounts may be voted and shall also cause proxy materials and a
                form of instruction by means of which the Participant can
                instruct the Company with respect to the voting of the Fund
                shares held for the Participant's Individual Account to be sent
                to the Participant.  In connection with the voting of Fund
                shares held by it, the Company shall arrange for the handling
                and tallying of proxies received from the Participants, the
                Company, as such, shall have no right, except as herein
                provided, to vote any Fund shares held by it hereunder which may
                be registered in its name or the names of its nominees.

                The Company will, however, vote the Fund shares held by it in
                accordance with the instructions received from the Participants.
                If the Participant desires to attend any meeting at which the
                Fund shares held for the Participants benefit may be voted, the
                Participating Employer may request that the Company furnish a
                proxy or otherwise arrange for the exercise of voting rights
                with respect to the Fund shares held for such Participating
                Individual account.  In the event that the Participant gives no
                instructions or leaves the manner of voting discretionary, the
                Company will vote such shares of each Fund in the same
                proportion as shares of that Fund for which instructions have
                been received.

                PROOF OF SURVIVAL

                The payment of any annuity benefit will be subject to evidence
                that the Annuitant is alive on the date such payment is
                otherwise due.

                INFORMATION FROM THE CONTRACT OWNER

                The Contract Owner will furnish any information which the
                Company may reasonably require in order to administer this
                contract.  If the Contract Owner  cannot furnish any required
                item of information, the Company may request the person
                concerned to furnish the information.  The Company will not be
                liable for the fulfillment of any obligations dependent 

<PAGE>

                upon that information until it receives such information.

                INDIVIDUAL CERTIFICATES

                The Company will issue to each Participant an individual
                certificate which evidences that contributions are to be made on
                behalf of that Participant under this contract.
 
                EXPERIENCE RATING   

                The Company may apply an experience credit by:

                     (a) a reduction in the amount of any applicable Contingent
                     Deferred Sales Charges; or

                     (b) reduction in amount of the Annual Policy Fees; or

                     (c) a reduction in the amount of the Transfer Fee; or

                     (d) any combination of the above.

                PARTICIPANT'S VESTED RIGHTS

                A Participant shall have a nonforfeitable right to his
                Participant's Individual Account at all times.

VALUATION       NET CONTRIBUTIONS 
PROVISIONS      

                The net contribution to a Participant's Individual Account is
                equal to the total contributions made on behalf of that
                Participant less any applicable premium taxes.

                The net contribution for the General Account or Separate Account
                (determined in accordance with the Account allocation
                percentages elected) is applied to provide General Account
                values or Separate Account Accumulation Units.  The number of
                Accumulation Units credited to each account is determined by
                dividing the net contribution for that Account by the dollar
                value of one Accumulation Unit next computed after the receipt
                of the contribution by the Company.

                The number of accumulation units so determined will not be
                affected by any subsequent change in the value of Accumulation
                Units.  The Accumulation Unit value in the Separate Account may
                decrease or increase from day to day as specified below.
       
                Distributed earnings with respect to the underlying securities
                will be credited to each Account by increasing the value of
                Accumulation Unit values held under this contract.

                The Company may at its option determine the value of the General
                Account portion of the Contract by accumulating the net
                contributions on the basis of actual cash value or through the
                use of General Account Accumulation Units.  In applying the
                actual cash value approach, the Company will credit such net
                contributions with the applicable rates of interest set forth on
                Page 3, which shall be compounded annually.

                NET INVESTMENT RATE AND NET INVESTMENT FACTOR
            
                The General Account net investment rate applicable to a
                Participant's Individual Account for any day is guaranteed to be
                at least equivalent to the rate as shown on Page 2.

<PAGE>

                The net investment rate for the Separate Account for any day is
                equal to the gross investment rate for each Account expressed in
                decimal form to six places, less applicable deductions by the
                Company each year for the expense, mortality and administrative
                undertakings as set forth on Page 3.  The gross investment rate
                for an Account is (a) its investment income for the day plus its
                capital gains and minus its capital losses, whether realized or
                unrealized, and less a deduction for any applicable taxes
                arising from the income and the realized and unrealized capital
                gains attributable to that account, divided by (b) the value of
                that account on the previous day.

                The net investment factor for each Account is the sum of
                1.000000 plus the net investment rate for that account.

                SEGREGATION OF SEPARATE ACCOUNT ASSETS

                That portion of the assets of the Separate Account equal to the
                reserves and other control liabilities of the Separate Account
                shall not be chargeable with liabilities arising out of any
                other business the Company may conduct.

                ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE

                The value of an Accumulation Unit for each Account was fixed at
                $1 each on the date the Account was initially established.  The
                value of the respective Accumulation Units for any subsequent
                day is determined by multiplying the Accumulation Unit value for
                the preceding day  by the net investment factor for that Account
                for the current day.

                ANNUITY UNIT VALUES DURING THE ANNUITY PERIOD

                The value of an Annuity Unit for each Account was fixed at $1
                each on the date the Account was initially established and for
                each Account and the value for any date thereafter is determined
                by multiplying the value of the Annuity Unit for that Account on
                the preceding day by the product of  (a) a figure to neutralize
                the assumed net investment rate and (b) the net investment
                factor for that Account for the day for which the annuity value
                is being calculated.

                ANNUAL POLICY FEE

                During each year that this contract is in force prior to the
                Annuity Commencement Date, an Annual Policy Fee, as set forth on
                Page 3, will be deducted from each Participant's Individual
                Account on the last day of the Participant's Contract Year or on
                the date of surrender of a Participant's Individual Account
                under this contract, if earlier.  The Fee will be charged
                against the value of a Participant's Individual Account at the
                end of each Participant's Contract Year by reducing the value or
                number of Accumulation Units held on that date on a pro-rata
                basis with respect to each active Account under a Participant's
                Individual Account. 

                TRANSFER OR RE-ALLOCATION OF CONTRACT VALUES WITHIN THE CONTRACT

                Variable contract values may be re-allocated between accounts
                within the Separate Account/and or transferred to the General
                Account at any time.  A transfer fee, as described on Page 3,
                shall be charged on each transfer from each Account within a
                Participant's Individual Account.

                General Account values may be transferred to an Account at any
                time.  The Company reserves the right to restrict such transfers
                during any twelve (12) month period to 25% of 

<PAGE>

                the Participant's Individual Account attributable to General
                Account values determined as of the preceding December 31.  The
                Company has the right to defer any transfer of General Account
                values to the Separate Account for a period not to exceed six
                (6) months.  A Transfer Fee, as described on Page 3, shall be
                charged on each transfer from the General Account within a
                Participant's Individual Account.

                A transfer or reallocation of all or any portion of a
                Participant's Individual Account attributable to the General
                Account and/or Separate Account, as described above, will be
                made only after a written notice requesting such transfer and/or
                reallocation is received from the Participant in the home office
                of the Company.

                TERMINATION OF A PARTICIPANT'S INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNT

                The termination value of a Participant's Individual Account for
                any day prior to the Annuity Commencement Date is equal to the
                value of the Participant's Individual Account on that day, less:

                     (a) any applicable premium taxes not previously deducted;
                         and

                     (b) the Annual Policy Fee as described on Page 3, and

                     (c) any applicable Contingent Deferred Sales Charges as set
                         forth on page 3.
                
                The termination value of the portion of the Participant's
                Individual Account in the Separate Account may decrease or
                increase from day to day.

                The Company has the right to defer payment of a surrender of
                General Account values under this contract for a period not to
                exceed six (6) months from the date the Participant's request is
                received in the home office of the Company.  If the Company
                defers payment as specified above, the deferred amount will be
                credited with interest at the rate of four percent (4%) from the
                date such request is deferred to the date the requested amount
                of the surrender is paid.

                A deferral of any payment by the Company of General Account
                values may be made only to the extent such deferral will not
                cause a surrender of a Participant's Individual Account to fail
                to satisfy section 401 (a)(9) of the Code. 
          
                TERMINATION AFTER THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE

                An annuity effected under this contract may not be surrendered
                for its termination value after the commencement of annuity
                payments.

                PAYMENT OF TERMINATION VALUE

                When all or any part of the Separate Account termination value
                of a Participant's Individual Account is taken in the form of a
                cash settlement, payment will be made within seven (7) days
                following the day the request is received, except as the Company
                may be permitted to defer payment under the Investment Company
                Act of 1940.

                ELECTION OF ANNUITY OPTION

                A Participant's Annuity Commencement Date may be the first day
                of any month, but in the absence of a written election to the
                contrary, the Annuity Commencement Date shall be the first day
                of the month coincident with or next following the Participant's
                65th birthday.  The distribution of a Participant's Individual
                Account is required to be made in accordance with Section
                401(a)(9) of the Code.  Provision is made for both variable and
                fixed dollar annuity payments.

<PAGE>

                The Participant may elect to have the value of the Participant's
                Individual Account applied on the Annuity Commencement Date
                under either one of the annuity options described below.  The
                Separate Account value of the Participant's Individual Account
                is determined on the basis of the Accumulation Unit value of the
                fifth business day preceding the date annuity payments commence.

                Election of any of these options, including any optional Annuity
                Commencement Date, must be made by notice in writing to the
                Office of the Company in Hartford, Connecticut at least 30 days
                prior to the date such election is to become effective.

                DATE OF PAYMENT- The first payment under any option shall be
                made within 15 days of arrival of claim for settlement or on any
                other specified date, the subsequent payments shall be made
                periodically in accordance with the manner of payment elected on
                the first business day of the month in which a payment is due.

                
SETTLEMENT      ALLOCATION OF ANNUITY
PROVISIONS           
(CONTINUED)
                At the time election of one of the annuity options is made, the
                Participant, may further elect to have the value of the
                Participant's Individual Account applied to provide a variable
                annuity, a fixed dollar annuity or a combination of  both.

                VARIABLE ANNUITY - A variable annuity is an annuity with
                payments decreasing or increasing in amount in accordance with
                the net investment result of the Account or Accounts in the
                Separate Account as described in "Valuation Provisions,"
                commencing on Page 9.  After the first monthly payment for
                variable annuity has been determined in accordance with the
                provisions of this contract, a number of Annuity Units is
                determined by dividing that first monthly payment by the
                Appropriate Annuity Unit value o the effective date of the
                annuity payments.  Once variable annuity payments have begun,
                the number of Annuity Units remains fixed.  The method of
                calculating the Annuity Unit value is described under "Valuation
                Provisions."

                The dollar amount of the second and subsequent variable annuity
                payments is not predetermined and may decrease or increase from
                month to month.  The actual amount of each variable annuity
                payment after the first is determined by multiplying the number
                of Annuity Units by the appropriate Annuity Unit value for each
                account as described in the Valuation Provisions, for the fifth
                business day-preceding the date the annuity payment is due.

                The Company guarantee that the dollar amount of variable annuity
                payments will not be adversely affected by variations in the
                actual expenses incurred in providing and administering this
                contract, or in the actual mortality experience of payees from
                the mortality assumption, including any age adjustments, used in
                determining the first monthly payment.

                Fixed Dollar Annuity - A fixed dollar annuity is an annuity with
                payments which remain fixed as to dollar amount throughout the
                payment period.
          
                DEATH OF A PARTICIPANT OR BENEFICIARY
                
                In the event a Participant dies before his Annuity Commencement
                Date, the Beneficiary will receive the value of the
                Participant's Individual Account on the date of receipt of due
                proof of death at the home office of the Company, except that if
                upon death prior to the Annuity Commencement Date the
                Participant had not attained his 65th birthday, the Beneficiary
                will 

<PAGE>

                receive the greater of the value of the Participant's Individual
                Account on the date of receipt of due proof of death in the home
                office of the Company of 100% of all Contributions made on
                behalf of a Participant reduced by the dollar amount of any
                partial terminations not repaid.
                
                The death benefit may be taken in one sum or under any of the
                settlement options available in the Company's individual
                variable annuities then being issued provided, however, that, in
                the event of the Participant's death, any settlement option must
                provide that any amount payable as a death benefit will be
                distributed within five years of the date of death, or, if the
                benefit is payable over a period not extending beyond the life
                expectancy of the Beneficiary, or over the life of the
                Beneficiary, such distribution must commence within one year of
                the date of death.  Notwithstanding the previous sentence, if
                the Beneficiary is the spouse of the Participant, such spouse
                may elect, in lieu of receiving the death benefit, to be treated
                as the Participant. 

                When payment is taken in one sum, a variable payment will be
                made within 7 days after the date due proof of death is
                received, except as the company may be permitted to defer such
                payment under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

                In the event of the death of the Annuitant while receiving
                annuity payments, the present values at the current dollar
                amount on the date of death of any  remaining guaranteed number
                of payments, will be paid in one sum to the Beneficiary
                designated by the Participant unless other provisions shall have
                been made and approved by the Company.  In the case of the
                Separate Account, calculations for such present value of the
                guaranteed number of payments remaining will be based on assumed
                net investment rate of 4% per annum.  In the case of the General
                Account the net investment rate assumed will be the rate that is
                used by the Company to determine the amount of each certain
                payment.  The Annuity Unit value upon the date of receipt of due
                proof of death shall be used for the purpose of determining such
                present value.

                When payment is taken in one sum, a variable payment will be
                made within 7 days after the date due proof of death is
                received, except as the Company may be permitted to defer such
                payment under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
  
ANNUITY TABLE        
                
                The attached Tables show the dollar amount of the first monthly
                payments for each $1,000 applied under the first five options. 
                Under the First, Second, or Third Options, the amount of each
                payment will depend upon the age and sex of the payee at the
                time the first payment is due.  Under the Fourth Option, the
                amount of each payment will depend upon the sex of both payees,
                and their ages at the time first payment is due.

                The Tables for the First, Second, Third and Fourth Options are
                based on the 1983 Individual Annuity Mortality Table set back
                one year and a net investment rate of 4% per annum.  The table
                for the Fifth Option is based on a net investment rate of 4% per
                annum. 

                

                This contract, as written, is intended to qualify under Section
                403 of the Code.  These Options shall e available only if the
                guaranteed payment period is not more than the life expectancy
                of the Annuitant at the time the option becomes effective.  Such
                life expectancy will be computed under the applicable mortality
                table required by the Code.

RE: SEPARATE ACCOUNT TWO (DC VARIABLE ACCOUNT II)("SEPARATE ACCOUNT")
    HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY ("COMPANY")
    FILE NO. 33-19950

Dear Sir/Madam:

In my capacity as Associate General Counsel of the Company, I have supervised
the establishment of the Separate Account by the Board of Directors of the
Company as a separate account for assets applicable to Contracts offered by the
Company pursuant to Connecticut law.  I have participated in the preparation of
the registration statement for the Separate Account on Form N-4 under the
Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940 with respect to
the Contracts.

I am of the following opinion:

1.  The Separate Account is a separate account of the Company validly existing
    pursuant to Connecticut law and the regulations issued thereunder.

2.  The assets held in the Separate Account are not chargeable with liabilities
    arising out of any other business the Company may conduct.

3.  The Contracts are legally issued and represent binding obligations of the
    Company.

In arriving at the foregoing opinion, I have made such examination of the law
and examined such records and other documents as in my opinion as are necessary
or appropriate.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933.

Sincerely,

/s/ Lynda Godkin

Lynda Godkin
Associate General Counsel & Secretary
