(1) Length of time from premium payment.
 
(2) The Annual Contract Fee is a single $30 charge on a Contract. It is deducted
    proportionally from the investment options in use at the time of the charge.
    Pursuant  to requirements of the 1940 Act,  the Annual Contract Fee has been
    reflected in the Examples by a method intended to show the "average"  impact
    of  the Annual Contract  Fee on an  investment in the  Separate Account. The
    Annual Contract Fee is deducted only  when the accumulated value is  $50,000
    or  less. In the Example, the Annual Contract Fee is approximated as a 0.08%
    annual asset charge based on the experience of the Contracts.
 
(3) In 1995, a portion of  the International Advisers Fund management fees  were
    waived.  With this waiver, the 1995  total fund operating expenses ratio was
    .650%. Due to asset growth, no management fee waiver is needed in 1996.

                                  INTRODUCTION
 
    This Prospectus  has  been  designed  to  provide  you  with  the  necessary
information to make a decision on purchasing an individual or group tax deferred
Variable  Annuity Contract offered by Hartford Life Insurance Company ("Hartford
Life") in  the Fixed  Account and/or  a  series of  Separate Account  Two.  (See
"Hartford  Life Insurance  Company" page  7; "The  Contracts" page  12; and "The
Separate Account" page 8.) Please read the Glossary of Special Terms on pages  3
and  4 prior to reading  this Prospectus to familiarize  yourself with the terms
being used.
 
    The Contracts are available for purchase by individuals and groups on both a
non-qualified and qualified basis. The maximum issue age for the Contract is  85
years old. (See "The Contracts" page 12.) Generally, the minimum initial Premium
Payment  is  $1,000.  Thereafter,  the  minimum payment  is  $500.  There  is no
deduction for sales expenses from Premium  Payments when made. A deduction  will
be  made for  state Premium  Taxes for  Contracts sold  in certain  states. (See
"Charges Under the Contract," page 14.)
 
    Generally, the  Contracts  are purchased  by  completing and  submitting  an
application  or an order to purchase, along with the initial Premium Payment, to
Hartford Life for  its approval. Generally,  a Contract Owner  may exercise  his
right  to cancel  the Contract  within 10  days of  delivery of  the Contract by
returning the Contract  to Hartford  Life at its  Home Office.  If the  Contract
Owner  exercises  his right  to  cancel, Hartford  Life  will return  either the
Contract Value  or the  original Premium  Payments to  the Contract  Owner.  The
duration  of the right to cancel period and Hartford Life's obligation to either
return the Contract Value of the  original Premium Payment will depend on  state
law.
 
    The  investment options  for the Contracts  are the  Hartford Advisers Fund,
Inc., Hartford  Bond  Fund,  Inc., Hartford  Capital  Appreciation  Fund,  Inc.,
Hartford  Dividend and  Growth Fund, Inc.,  Hartford Index  Fund, Inc., Hartford
International Advisers Fund,  Inc., Hartford  International Opportunities  Fund,
Inc.,  Hartford Mortgage Securities  Fund, Inc., Hartford  Stock Fund, Inc., HVA
Money Market Fund, Inc., and such other  funds as shall be offered from time  to
time  (the "Funds"),  and the Fixed  Account. (See  "The Funds" page  8 and "The
Fixed Account" page 10.) With certain limitations, Contract Owners may  allocate
their  Premium Payments  and Contract  Values to one  or a  combination of these
investment options and  transfer among the  investment options. (See  "Transfers
Between Sub-Accounts/Fixed Account" page 13.)
 
    An  Annual Maintenance Fee in the amount of $30.00 is deducted from Contract
Values each Contract Year  (not applicable to Contracts  with Account Values  of
$50,000  or more)  and there  is a  1.25% per  annum mortality  and expense risk
charge applied against all  Contract Values held in  the Separate Account.  (See
"Charges Under the Contract" page 14). Finally, the Funds are subject to certain
fees, charges and expenses (see the Prospectus for the Funds attached hereto).
 
    The Contracts may be surrendered, or portions of the value of such Contracts
may  be withdrawn,  at any  time prior  to the  Annuity Commencement  Date. (See
"Surrender Benefits" page 17). However,  a contingent deferred sales charge  may
be  assessed  against  Contract  Values when  they  are  surrendered. Contingent
deferred sales  charges will  not be  assessed in  certain instances,  including
withdrawals  up  to  the  annual  withdrawal amount  and  the  payment  of Death
Benefits. (See "Charges Under the Contract" page 14.)
 
    The Contract provides for a minimum Death Benefit in the event of the  death
of  the Annuitant or Contract Owner  before Annuity payments have commenced (see
"Death Benefits"  page 16).  Various  annuity options  are available  under  the
Contract for election by the Contract Owner on either a fixed or variable basis.
In  the  absence  of  an  annuity  option  election,  the  Contract  Value (less
applicable Premium Taxes) will  be applied on the  Annuity Commencement Date  to
provide a life annuity with 120 monthly payments certain (see "Annuity Benefits"
page 18).
 
                      HARTFORD LIFE, SEPARATE ACCOUNT TWO,
                        THE FIXED ACCOUNT, AND THE FUNDS
 
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
 
    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
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
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 5085, Hartford, CT 06102-5085.
 
    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+ rating 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 Contract.
 
SEPARATE ACCOUNT TWO
 
    The  Separate Account was  established on June  2, 1986. It  is the Separate
Account in which Hartford Life sets aside and invests the assets attributable to
variable annuity Contracts, including the Contracts sold under this  Prospectus.
Separate   Account  assets  are  held  by  Hartford  Life  under  a  safekeeping
arrangement. Although the Separate Account is an integral part of Hartford Life,
it is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act  of
1940.  This  registration does  not,  however, involve  Securities  and Exchange
Commission supervision of the management or the investment practices or policies
of the  Separate  Account or  Hartford  Life.  The Separate  Account  meets  the
definition of "separate account" under federal securities law.
 
    Your  investment  in  the  Separate  Account is  allocated  to  one  or more
Sub-Accounts  as  per   your  specifications.  Each   Sub-Account  is   invested
exclusively  in the  assets of one  underlying Fund. 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 already purchased or to
be  purchased  in  the  future  by  the  Separate  Account  provided  that   the
substitution has been approved by the Commission.
 
    Net  Premium  Payments 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 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.
 
    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. Income,
gains, and  losses,  whether or  not  realized,  from assets  allocated  to  the
Separate  Account, are, in accordance with the Contracts, credited to or charged
against the Separate Account. Also, the  assets in the Separate Account are  not
chargeable  with liabilities arising out of any other business Hartford Life may
conduct. Contract Values allocated  to the Separate Account  is not 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. The  Separate
Account  may be  subject to  liabilities arising from  a Series  of the Separate
Account 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.  However,  all  obligations  arising  under  the
Contracts are general corporate obligations of Hartford Life.
 
    Hartford  Life does  not guarantee  the investment  results of  the Separate
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 total of Premium Payments 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.
 
THE FUNDS
 
    All of the Funds are sponsored by Hartford Life and were incorporated  under
the laws of the State of Maryland.
 
                                       8

    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  Funds'  Prospectus  which  should  be  read  in

VOTING RIGHTS
 
    Hartford Life is the  legal owner of  all Fund shares  held in the  Separate
Account.  As  the owner,  Hartford  Life has  the right  to  vote at  the Funds'
shareholder meetings. However, to the extent required by federal securities laws
or regulations, Hartford Life will:
 
    1. Vote all Fund shares attributable to a Contract according to instructions
       received from the Contract Owner, and
 
    2. Vote share attributable to  a Contract for  which no voting  instructions
       are  received in the same proportion as shares for which instructions are
       received.
 
    If  any  federal   securities  laws   or  regulations,   or  their   present
interpretation  change to permit  Hartford Life to  vote Fund shares  in its own
right, Hartford Life may elect to do so.
 
    Hartford Life  will notify  you of  any Fund  shareholders' meeting  if  the
shares  held for your account may be  voted at such meetings. Hartford Life will
send proxy  materials and  a  form of  instruction by  means  of which  you  can
instruct  Hartford Life with respect  to the voting of  the Fund shares held for
your account.
 
    In connection with the voting of Fund shares held by it, Hartford Life  will
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. Hartford  Life will vote  shares
for  which no instructions have been given and shares which are not attributable
to Contract Owners (i.e. shares owned  by Hartford Life) in the same  proportion
as  it votes shares of that Fund  for which it has received instructions. During
the Annuity period under  a Contract the  number of votes  will decrease as  the
assets held to fund Annuity benefits decrease.
 
    The  Funds  are available  only to  serve as  the underlying  investment for
variable annuity 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.
 
THE FIXED ACCOUNT
 
    THAT PORTION OF THE CONTRACT RELATING TO THE FIXED ACCOUNT IS NOT REGISTERED
UNDER  THE SECURITIES  ACT OF  1933 ("1933  ACT") AND  THE FIXED  ACCOUNT IS NOT
REGISTERED AS AN  INVESTMENT COMPANY UNDER  THE INVESTMENT COMPANY  ACT OF  1940
("1940  ACT"). ACCORDINGLY, NEITHER THE FIXED  ACCOUNT NOR ANY INTERESTS THEREIN
ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OR RESTRICTIONS  OF THE 1933 ACT OR THE 1940  ACT,
AND  THE DISCLOSURE  REGARDING THE  FIXED ACCOUNT HAS  NOT BEEN  REVIEWED BY THE
STAFF OF THE SECURITIES
 
                                       10
<PAGE>
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. THE FOLLOWING DISCLOSURE ABOUT THE FIXED ACCOUNT MAY BE
SUBJECT TO CERTAIN  GENERALLY APPLICABLE  PROVISIONS OF  THE FEDERAL  SECURITIES
LAWS REGARDING THE ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF DISCLOSURE.
 
    Premium Payments and Contract Values allocated to the Fixed Account become a
part of the general assets of Hartford Life. Hartford Life invests the assets of
the  General Account in accordance with applicable law governing the investments
of Insurance Company General Accounts.
 
    Currently, Hartford Life guarantees that it  will credit interest at a  rate
of  not less than 3% per year,  compounded annually, to amounts allocated to the
Fixed Account under the Contracts. However, Hartford Life reserves the right  to
change  the  rate according  to state  insurance law.  Hartford Life  may credit
interest at a rate in  excess of 3% per year.  There is no specific formula  for
the  determination  of excess  interest credits.  Some of  the factors  that the
Company may consider in determining whether to credit excess interest to amounts
allocated to the  Fixed Account  and the  amount thereof,  are general  economic
trends,  rates of  return currently available  and anticipated  on the Company's
investments, regulatory  and  tax  requirements  and  competitive  factors.  ANY
INTEREST  CREDITED TO AMOUNTS ALLOCATED TO THE FIXED ACCOUNT IN EXCESS OF 3% PER
YEAR WILL BE DETERMINED IN THE SOLE DISCRETION OF THE COMPANY. THE OWNER ASSUMES
THE RISK THAT INTEREST CREDITED TO FIXED ACCOUNT ALLOCATIONS MAY NOT EXCEED  THE
MINIMUM GUARANTEE OF 3% FOR ANY GIVEN YEAR.
 
PERFORMANCE RELATED INFORMATION
 
    The  Separate Account may advertise  certain performance related information
concerning its  Sub-Accounts. Performance  information  about a  Sub-Account  is
based  on the Sub-Account's past performance only and is no indication of future
performance.
 
    The  Hartford   Advisers  Fund,   Hartford  Bond   Fund,  Hartford   Capital
Appreciation Fund, Inc., Hartford Dividend and Growth Fund, Hartford Index Fund,
Hartford International Advisers Fund, Hartford International Opportunities Fund,
Hartford  Mortgage Securities  Fund, Hartford Stock  Fund, and  HVA 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 which would be payable if the investment were redeemed  at
the end of the period).
 
    In  addition to the standardized total return, the Sub-Account may advertise
a non-standardized total return. This figure will usually be calculated for  one
year,  five years, and ten years or other periods. Non-standardized total return
is measured in the same manner as the standardized total return described above,
except that the contingent deferred sales charge and the Annual Maintenance  Fee
are  not deducted. Therefore, non-standardized total return for a Sub-Account is
higher than standardized total return for a Sub-Account.
 
    The Hartford Bond  Fund and Hartford  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
one  month period is  divided by the unit  value on the last  day of the period.
This figure  reflects  the  recurring  charges at  the  Separate  Account  level
including the annual maintenance fee.
 
    The  HVA Money  Market Fund  Sub-Account may  advertise yield  and effective
yield. The  yield of  a  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 at  the
Separate Account level including the annual maintenance fee.
 
    The  Separate Account  may also disclose  yield, standard  total return, and
non-standard total return  for periods prior  to the date  the Separate  Account
commenced  operations.  For  periods  prior to  the  date  the  Separate Account
commenced operations,  performance  information  for the  Sub-Accounts  will  be
calculated
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
based  on the performance  of the underlying  Funds and the  assumption that the
Sub-Accounts were in existence for the  same periods as those of the  underlying
Funds,  with a level  of charges equal  to those currently  assessed against the
Sub-Accounts.
 
    Hartford Life may provide information  on various topics to Contract  Owners
and  prospective  Contract  Owners  in advertising,  sales  literature  or other
materials. These  topics may  include the  relationship between  sectors of  the
economy and the economy as a whole and its effect on various securities markets,
investment  strategies  and techniques  (such  as value  investing,  dollar cost
averaging and asset allocation), the  advantages and disadvantages of  investing
in  tax-advantaged and  taxable instruments, customer  profiles and hypothetical
purchase scenarios, financial  management and tax  and retirement planning,  and
other  investment alternatives, including comparisons  between the Contracts and
the characteristics of and market for such alternatives.
 
                                 THE CONTRACTS
 
CONTRACTS OFFERED
 
    The  Contracts  are  individual  or  group  tax-deferred  Variable   Annuity
Contracts  designed for retirement planning purposes and may be purchased by any
individual, group or trust, including any trustee or custodian for a  retirement
plan  qualified under  Sections 401(a) or  403(a) of the  Internal Revenue Code;
annuity purchase plans adopted by  public school systems and certain  tax-exempt
organizations  according  to  Section  403(b)  of  the  Internal  Revenue  Code;
Individual Retirement Annuities adopted according to Section 408 of the Internal
Revenue Code; employee  pension plans established  for employees by  a state,  a
political  subdivision of a state,  or an agency or  instrumentality of either a
state or  a political  subdivision of  a state,  and certain  eligible  deferred
compensation  plans  as defined  in  Section 457  of  the Internal  Revenue Code
("Qualified Contracts").
 
PREMIUM PAYMENTS AND INITIAL ALLOCATIONS
 
    The minimum  initial  Premium Payment  is  $1,000. Thereafter,  the  minimum
Premium  Payment is $500. Certain plans may make smaller periodic payments. Each
Premium Payment may  be split among  the various Sub-Accounts  and/or the  Fixed
Account subject to minimum amounts then in effect.
 
    REFUND  RIGHTS  -- If  you  are not  satisfied  with your  purchase  you may
surrender the  Contract by  returning it  within  ten days  (or longer  in  some
states)  after you receive it. A written request for cancellation must accompany
the Contract.  In such  event, Hartford  Life will,  without deduction  for  any
charges  normally assessed thereunder,  pay you an amount  equal to the Contract
Value on the  date of  receipt of  the request  for cancellation.  You bear  the
investment  risk during the period prior to the Company's receipt of request for
cancellation. Hartford Life  will refund  the premium paid  only for  individual
retirement  annuities (if  returned within seven  days of receipt)  and in those
states where required by law.
 
    CREDITING AND  VALUATION --  The  balance of  each initial  Premium  Payment
remaining  after the deduction of any applicable Premium Tax is credited to your
Contract within two business days of receipt of a properly completed application
or an order to purchase a Contract  and the initial Premium Payment by  Hartford
Life  at its  Home Office, P.O.  Box 5085,  Hartford, CT 06102-5085.  It will be
credited to the Sub-Account(s) and/or the Fixed Account in accordance with  your
election.  If the application or other  information is incomplete when received,
the balance of each initial Premium  Payment, after deduction of any  applicable
Premium  Tax, will be credited to the Sub-Account(s) or the Fixed Account within
five business days of  receipt. If the initial  Premium Payment is not  credited
within  five business  days, the  Premium Payment  will be  immediately returned
unless you have been informed of the delay and request that the Premium  Payment
not be returned.
 
    The  number of Accumulation  Units in each  Sub-Account to be  credited to a
Contract will be determined by dividing the portion of the Premium Payment being
credited to  each Sub-Account  by the  value  of an  Accumulation Unit  in  that
Sub-Account on that date.
 
    Subsequent  Premium Payments  are priced  on the  Valuation Day  received by
Hartford Life in its Home Office, or other designated administrative offices.
 
                                       12
<PAGE>
CONTRACT VALUE
 
    The  value of  the Sub-Account investments  under your Contract  at any time
prior to the commencement of Annuity  payments can be determined by  multiplying
the  total  number  of Accumulation  Units  credited  to your  Contract  in each
Sub-Account by  the then  current Accumulation  Unit values  for the  applicable
Sub-Account.  The value  of the  Fixed Account under  your Contract  will be the
amount allocated to the Fixed Account plus interest credited.
 
    You will be  advised at  least semiannually  of the  number of  Accumulation
Units  credited to each  Sub-Account, the current  Accumulation Unit values, the
Fixed Account value, and the total value of your Contract.
 
    ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUES -- 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 distributed 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  Valuation Period. You should refer to  the Prospectus for each of the Funds
which accompanies 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.
 
    VALUATION  OF FUND SHARES -- The shares of  the Fund are valued at net asset
value on each Valuation Day. A complete description of the valuation method used
in valuing Fund shares may be found in the accompanying Prospectus of the Funds.
 
    VALUATION OF THE FIXED ACCOUNT -- Hartford Life will determine the value  of
the  Fixed  Account by  crediting  interest to  amounts  allocated to  the Fixed
Account.
 
TRANSFERS BETWEEN SUB-ACCOUNTS/FIXED ACCOUNT
 
    You may transfer the values of your Sub-Account allocations from one or more
Sub-Accounts to  another free  of charge.  However, Hartford  Life reserves  the
right to limit the number of transfers to twelve (12) per Contract Year, with no
two  (2)  transfers  occurring  on  consecutive  Valuation  Days.  Transfers  by
telephone may be made by a Contract Owner or by the attorney-in-fact pursuant to
a power of  attorney by  calling (800)  862-6668 or by  the agent  of record  by
calling  (800) 862-7155. Telephone transfers may not be permitted by some states
for their residents who purchase variable annuities.
 
    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  callers  provide  certain
information  for identification purposes. All transfer instructions by telephone
are tape recorded.
 
    Hartford Life may permit the Contract Owner to preauthorize transfers  among
Sub-Accounts  and  between  Sub-Accounts  and the  Fixed  Account  under certain
circumstances. Transfers between the  Sub-Accounts may be  made both before  and
after  Annuity payments commence  (limited to once a  quarter) provided that the
minimum allocation to  any Sub-Account  may not be  less than  $500. No  minimum
balance is required in any Sub-Account.
 
    Transfers  from the Fixed Account into a Sub-Account may be made at any time
during the Contract Year. The maximum  amount which may be transferred from  the
Fixed  Account  during any  Contract Year  is the  greater of  30% of  the Fixed
Account balance as of  the last Contract Anniversary  or the greatest amount  of
any   prior  transfer  from   the  Fixed  Account.   If  Hartford  Life  permits
preauthorized transfers  from  the  Fixed  Account  to  the  Sub-Accounts,  this
restriction  is inapplicable. Also, if any interest rate is renewed at a rate of
at least one percentage  point less than the  previous rate, the Contract  Owner
may  elect to transfer up to 100% of the funds receiving the reduced rate within
60 days of notification of the interest rate decrease. Generally, transfers  may
 
                                       13
<PAGE>
not be made from any Sub-Account into the Fixed Account for the six-month period
following  any  transfer  from  the  Fixed  Account  into  one  or  more  of the
Sub-Accounts. Hartford Life reserves the right to defer transfers from the Fixed
Account for up to six months from the date of request.
 
    Subject to the exceptions set forth in the following paragraph, the right to
reallocate  Contract  Values  is  subject  to  modification  if  Hartford   Life
determines,  in its sole opinion, that the exercise of that right by one or more
Contract Owners is, or would be,  to the disadvantage of other Contract  Owners.
Any  modification could be  applied to transfers to  or from some  or all of the
Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account 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 Contract Owner, or limiting the  dollar amount that may be transferred
between the Sub-Accounts and the  Fixed Account by a  Contract Owner 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.
 
    For Contracts issued in the State of New York, the reservation of rights set
forth in the preceding paragraph is limited to (i) requiring up to a maximum  of
10  Valuation  Days  between  each  transfer: (ii)  limiting  the  amount  to be
transferred on any one Valuation Day to no more than $2 million; and (iii)  upon
30  days prior written notice, to  only accepting transfer instructions from the
Contract Owner and not from the Contract Owner's representative, agent or person
acting under a power of attorney for the Contract Owner.
 
    Currently, and with  respect to  Contracts issued  in all  states, the  only
restriction  in effect is  that Hartford Life will  not accept instructions from
agents acting  under a  power  of attorney  of  multiple Contract  Owners  whose
accounts  aggregate more than  $2 million, unless  the agent has  entered into a
third party transfer services agreement with Hartford Life.
 
CHARGES UNDER THE CONTRACTS
 
 CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGES
 
    There is no deduction  for sales expenses from  Premium Payments when  made.
  However,  a contingent deferred sales charge  may be assessed against Contract
  Values when they are surrendered. The length of time from receipt of a Premium
  Payment to  the time  of surrender  determines the  contingent deferred  sales
  charge.  Premium payments  will be  deemed to be  surrendered in  the order in
  which they were received.
 
 PAYMENTS SUBJECT TO SALES CHARGES DURING THE FIRST SEVEN CONTRACT YEARS
 
    During the first seven  Contract years, a  contingent deferred sales  charge
  will be assessed against the surrender of the Premium Payments. All surrenders
  will be first from Premium Payments and then from other Contract Values.
 
 AFTER THE SEVENTH CONTRACT YEAR
 
    After  the seventh Contract year, all surrenders will first be from earnings
  and then from premium payments. A contingent deferred sales charge will not be
  assessed against the surrender of earnings. If an amount equal to all earnings
  has been surrendered, a contingent deferred sales charge will not be  assessed
  against  premium payments received  more than seven  years prior to surrender,
  but will be assessed against premium  payments received less than seven  years
  prior to surrender.
 
    The  charge  is a  percentage of  the  amount withdrawn  (not to  exceed the
  aggregate amount of the Premium Payments made) and equals:

<PAGE>
    PAYMENTS NOT SUBJECT  TO SALES CHARGES  -- During the  first seven  Contract
Years,  on a non-cumulative basis, a Contract Owner may make a partial surrender
of Contract Values of up  to 10% of the aggregate  Premium Payments made to  the
Contract  (as determined  on the date  of the requested  withdrawal) without the
application of the contingent deferred sales charge. After the seventh  Contract
year, the Contract Owner may make a partial surrender of 10% of premium payments
made  during the  seven years prior  to the  surrender and 100%  of the Contract
Value less  the  premium payments  made  during the  seven  years prior  to  the
surrender.  The amounts  not subject  to sales charges  are known  as the Annual
Withdrawal Amount.  The Annual  Withdrawal Amount  is the  amount which  can  be
withdrawn  in any  Contract Year prior  to incurring sales  charges. An Extended
Withdrawal Privilege  rider allows  an  Annuitant who  attains  age 70  under  a
Qualified  Plan to withdraw an amount in  excess of the Annual Withdrawal Amount
to comply with IRS minimum distribution rules.
 
    Certain plans or programs may have different withdrawal privileges. Any such
withdrawal will  be  deemed  to  be from  Contract  Values  other  than  Premium
Payments.  From time  to time,  Hartford Life may  permit the  Contract Owner to
preauthorize partial surrenders subject to  certain limitations then in  effect.
Additional  surrenders or any surrender of the Contract Values in excess of such
amount in any  Contract Year during  the period when  contingent deferred  sales
charges are applicable will be subject to the appropriate charge.
 
    No  contingent deferred sales charges  otherwise applicable will be assessed
in the  event of  death of  the Annuitant,  death of  the Contract  Owner or  if
payments  are made under an Annuity option (other than a surrender out of Option
4) provided for under the Contract.
 
    PURPOSE OF SALES CHARGES -- The  contingent deferred sales charges are  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. 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. The surplus might include  profits resulting from unused mortality  and
expense risk charges.
 
    MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK 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  the Annuity  Commencement Date  or (b)  Hartford Life's  actual
expenses,  if greater than the deductions  provided for in the Contracts because
of the expense and mortality undertakings by Hartford Life.
 
    For assuming these  risks under  the Contracts,  Hartford Life  will make  a
daily  charge at the rate of 1.25% per annum against all Contract Values held in
the Sub-Accounts  during  the  life  of the  Contract  (estimated  at  .90%  for
mortality and .35% for expense).
 
    The  mortality undertakings 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  1983a Individual  Annuity
Mortality  Table and other  provisions contained in  the Contract) to Annuitants
regardless of how long  an Annuitant may  live, and regardless  of how long  all
Annuitants  as a group  may live. Hartford  Life also assumes  the liability for
payment of a minimum Death Benefit under the Contract.
 
    The mortality undertakings  are based  on Hartford  Life's determination  of
expected  mortality  rates  among  all Annuitants.  If  actual  experience among
Annuitants during  the  Annuity payment  period  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.  Hartford
Life  will bear the loss in such a situation. Also, in the event of the death of
an Annuitant  or Contract  Owner before  the commencement  of Annuity  payments,
whichever  is earlier, Hartford  Life can, in  periods of declining  value or in
periods where the contingent  deferred sales loads  would have been  applicable,
experience  a loss resulting from the  assumption of the mortality risk relative
to the guaranteed Death Benefit.
 
    In providing an expense undertaking, Hartford Life assumes the risk that the
contingent deferred sales charges and the Annual Maintenance Fee for maintaining
the Contracts prior  to the  Annuity Commencement  Date may  be insufficient  to
cover the actual cost of providing such items.
 
    ANNUAL  MAINTENANCE FEE  -- Each  year, on  each Contract  Anniversary on or
before the  Annuity  Commencement Date,  Hartford  Life will  deduct  an  Annual
Maintenance  Fee,  if  applicable,  from Contract  Values  to  reimburse  it for
expenses relating to the maintenance of the Contract, the Fixed Account, and the
Sub-
 
                                       15
<PAGE>
Account(s) thereunder. If during a Contract Year the Contract is surrendered for
its full value, Hartford Life will deduct the Annual Maintenance Fee at the time
of such surrender. The fee is  a flat fee which will  be due in the full  amount
regardless   of  the  time  of  the  Contract  Year  that  Contract  Values  are
surrendered. The  Annual  Maintenance  Fee  is  $30.00  per  Contract  Year  for
Contracts with less than $50,000 Contract Value on the Contract Anniversary. The
deduction  will be made pro rata according  to the value in each Sub-Account and
the Fixed Account under a Contract.
 
    PREMIUM TAXES -- A  deduction is also made  for Premium Tax, if  applicable,
imposed by a state or other governmental entity. Certain states impose a Premium
Tax,  currently  ranging up  to 3.5%.  Some states  assess the  tax at  the time
purchase payments are made; others assess the tax at the time of  annuitization.
Hartford  Life will pay Premium Taxes at  the time imposed under applicable law.
At its  sole discretion,  Hartford Life  may deduct  Premium Taxes  at the  time
Hartford  Life pays such taxes to the applicable taxing authorities, at the time
the Contract is surrendered, or at the time the Contract annuitizes.
 
    EXCEPTIONS -- Hartford Life may offer,  in its discretion, reduced fees  and
charges  including, but not  limited to, the  contingent deferred sales charges,
the mortality and expense risk charge and the maintenance fee for certain  sales
(including  employer  sponsored  savings plans)  under  circumstances  which may
result in savings of  certain costs and expenses.  Reductions in these fees  and
charges will not be unfairly discriminatory against any Contract Owner.
 
DEATH BENEFITS
 
    The  Contracts  provide that  in  the event  the  Annuitant dies  before the
selected Annuity Commencement  Date, the  Contingent Annuitant  will become  the
Annuitant. If the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Commencement Date and either
(a)  there is no  designated Contingent Annuitant,  (b) the Contingent Annuitant
predeceases the Annuitant, or (c) if any Contract Owner dies before the  Annuity
Commencement  Date,  the Beneficiary  as determined  under the  Contract Control
Provisions, will receive the Death Benefit as determined on the date of  receipt
of  due proof of death by Hartford Life in its Home Office. With regard to Joint
Contract Owners, at  the first  death of  a joint  Contract Owner  prior to  the
Annuity  Commencement Date, the Beneficiary will be the surviving Contract Owner
notwithstanding that the beneficiary designation may be different.
 
    GUARANTEED DEATH BENEFIT -- If, upon death prior to the Annuity Commencement
Date, the Annuitant or Contract Owner, as applicable, had not attained his  90th
birthday,  the Beneficiary will  receive the greatest of  (a) the Contract Value
determined as of the day  written proof of death of  such person is received  by
Hartford  Life, or (b) 100% of the total Premium Payments made to such Contract,
reduced  by  any  prior  surrenders,  or  (c)  the  Maximum  Anniversary   Value
immediately  preceding the date of death. The Maximum Anniversary Value is equal
to the greatest Anniversary Value attained from the following:
 
    As of the date of receipt of due proof of death, the Company will  calculate
an  Anniversary  Value for  each Contract  Anniversary  prior to  the deceased's
attained age 81.  The Anniversary  Value is  equal to  the Contract  Value on  a
Contract  Anniversary, increased  by the dollar  amount of  any premium payments
made since that  anniversary and  reduced by the  dollar amount  of any  partial
surrenders since that anniversary.
 
    If  the  deceased,  the  Annuitant or  Contract  Owner,  as  applicable, had
attained age 90, then the Death Benefit will equal the Contract Value.
 
    PAYMENT OF DEATH BENEFIT -- Death  Benefit proceeds will remain invested  in
the Separate Account in accordance with the allocation instructions given by the
Contract  Owner  until  the proceeds  are  paid  or Hartford  Life  receives new
instructions from the Beneficiary.  The Death Benefit may  be taken in one  sum,
payable  within 7 days after  the date Due Proof of  Death is received, or under
any of  the settlement  options  then being  offered  by the  Company  provided,
however,  that: (a) in the event of the death of any Contract Owner prior to the
Annuity  Commencement  Date,  the  entire  interest  in  the  Contract  will  be
distributed  within 5 years after the death of the Contract Owner and (b) in the
event of the death of any Contract  Owner or Annuitant which occurs on or  after
the  Annuity Commencement Date,  any remaining interest in  the Contract will be
paid at least as rapidly  as under the method of  distribution in effect at  the
time  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. The  proceeds
due on the death may be applied to provide variable payments, fixed payments, or
a  combination of  variable and  fixed payments.  However, in  the event  of the
Contract Owner's death where the sole Beneficiary is the spouse of the  Contract
 
                                       16
<PAGE>
Owner  and  the Annuitant  or Contingent  Annuitant is  living, such  spouse may
elect, in lieu of  receiving the death  benefit, to be  treated as the  Contract
Owner. The Contract Value and the Maximum Anniversary Value of the Contract will
be unaffected by treating the spouse as the Contract Owner.
 
    If the Contract is owned by a corporation or other non-individual, the Death
Benefit   payable  upon  the  death  of  the  Annuitant  prior  to  the  Annuity
Commencement Date will be payable only as  one sum or under the same  settlement
options  and in the same  manner as if an individual  Contract Owner died on the
date of the Annuitant's death.
 
    There may be postponement in the payment of Death Benefits 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.
 
    GROUP   UNALLOCATED  CONTRACTS  --  Hartford  Life  requires  that  detailed
accounting of  cumulative purchase  payments, cumulative  gross surrenders,  and
current  Contract Value  attached to  each Plan  Participant be  submitted on an
annual basis by the Contract Owner. Failure to submit accurate data satisfactory
to Hartford Life will give Hartford  Life the right to terminate this  extension
of benefits.
 
SURRENDER BENEFITS
 
    FULL  SURRENDERS -- At any time prior  to the Annuity Commencement Date (and
after the Annuity Commencement Date with respect to values applied to Option 4),
the Contract Owner has the right to  terminate the Contract. In such event,  the
Termination  Value of the Contract may  be taken in the form  of a lump sum cash
settlement.
 
    Under any of the  Annuity options excluding Options  4 and 5, no  surrenders
are  permitted after Annuity payments commence. Only full surrenders are allowed
out of Option 4 and  any such surrender will  be subject to contingent  deferred
sales  charges,  if applicable.  Full or  partial withdrawals  may be  made from
Option 5 at any time and contingent deferred sales charges will not be applied.
 
    The Termination Value of  the Contract is equal  to the Contract Value  less
any  applicable Premium Taxes, the Annual  Maintenance Fee if applicable and any
applicable contingent deferred sales charges. The Termination Value may be  more
or less than the amount of the Premium Payments made to a Contract.
 
    PARTIAL  SURRENDERS --  The Contract Owner  may make a  partial surrender of
Contract Values at any time  prior to the Annuity  Commencement Date so long  as
the  amount surrendered is  at least equal  to the minimum  amount rules then in
effect. Additionally, if the remaining  Contract Value following a surrender  is
less than $500, Hartford Life may terminate the Contract and pay the Termination
Value.  For Contracts issued  in Texas, there is  an additional requirement that
the Contract will not  be terminated when the  remaining Contract Value after  a
surrender  is less than $500  unless there were no  Premium Payments made during
the previous two Contract Years.
 
    In requesting a  partial withdrawal  you should  specify the  Sub-Account(s)
and/or  the Fixed  Account from  which the  partial withdrawal  is to  be taken.
Otherwise, such withdrawal and any applicable contingent deferred sales  charges
will be effected on a pro rata basis according to the value in the Fixed Account
and each Sub-Account under a Contract.
 
    Hartford  Life  may  permit  the  Contract  Owner  to  preauthorize  partial
surrenders subject to certain limitations then in effect.
 
    PAYMENT OF  SURRENDER BENEFITS  -- Payment  on  any request  for a  full  or
partial  surrender from the Sub-Accounts will be made as soon as possible and in
any event no  later than seven  days after  the written request  is received  by
Hartford  Life at its  Home Office, Attn: Individual  Annuity Services, P.O. Box
5085, Hartford, CT 06102-5085.  Hartford Life may defer  payment of any  amounts
from  the Fixed Account  for up to six  months from the date  of the request for
surrender. If Hartford Life defers payment for more than 30 days, Hartford  Life
will pay interest of at least 3% per annum on the amount deferred.
 
    There  may be postponement in the payment of Surrender Benefits 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
 
                                       17
<PAGE>
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.
 
    CERTAIN  QUALIFIED CONTRACT SURRENDERS --  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, B) TERMINATED EMPLOYMENT, C) DIED, D) BECOME DISABLED OR  E)
EXPERIENCED FINANCIAL HARDSHIP.
 
    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  PERMISSIBLE,  WITH OR  WITHOUT  TAX PENALTY,  IN  ANY  PARTICULAR
SITUATION; OR IN MONITORING WITHDRAWAL REQUESTS REGARDING PRE OR POST JANUARY 1,
1989 ACCOUNT VALUES.
 
    ANY SUCH FULL OR PARTIAL SURRENDER DESCRIBED ABOVE MAY AFFECT THE CONTINUING
TAX  QUALIFIED STATUS OF SOME  CONTRACTS OR PLANS AND  MAY RESULT IN ADVERSE TAX
CONSEQUENCES TO  THE  CONTRACT  OWNER. THE  CONTRACT  OWNER,  THEREFORE,  SHOULD
CONSULT  WITH  HIS  TAX  ADVISER BEFORE  UNDERTAKING  ANY  SUCH  SURRENDER. (SEE
"FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS" COMMENCING ON PAGE 21.)
 
ANNUITY BENEFITS
 
    You select an Annuity Commencement Date  and an Annuity option which may  be
on a fixed or variable basis, or a combination thereof. The Annuity Commencement
Date  will  not be  deferred  beyond the  Annuitant's  90th birthday  except for
certain states  where  deferral  past  age 85  is  not  permitted.  The  Annuity
Commencement  Date and/or the Annuity  option may be changed  from time to time,
but any change  must be  at least 30  days prior  to the date  on which  Annuity
payments  are  scheduled to  begin. The  Contract allows  the Contract  Owner to
change the Sub-Accounts on which variable payments are based after payments have
commenced once every three (3) months.  Any Fixed Annuity allocation may not  be
changed.
 
 ANNUITY OPTIONS
 
    The  Contract  contains the  five  optional Annuity  forms  described below.
Options 2, 4 and 5 are available  to Qualified Contracts 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. With  respect to  Non-Qualified
Contracts,  if  you  do  not  elect  otherwise,  payments  in  most  states will
automatically begin at the Annuitant's age 90 (with the exception of states that
do not allow  deferral past age  85) under  Option 2 with  120 monthly  payments
certain.  For Qualified Contracts and  Contracts issued in Texas,  if you do not
elect otherwise, payments  will begin  automatically at the  Annuitant's age  90
under Option 1 to provide a life Annuity.
 
    Under  any of the Annuity  options excluding Options 4  and 5, no surrenders
are permitted after Annuity payments commence. Only full surrenders are  allowed
out  of Option 4 and  any such surrender will  be subject to contingent deferred
sales charges,  if applicable.  Full or  partial withdrawals  may be  made  from
Option 5 at any time and contingent deferred sales charges will not be applied.
 
    OPTION 1: LIFE ANNUITY
 
    A  life Annuity is an  Annuity payable during the  lifetime of the Annuitant
and terminating with the last payment preceding the death of the Annuitant. This
options offers the  largest payment amount  of any of  the life Annuity  options
since  there is no guarantee of a minimum number of payments nor a provision for
a Death Benefit payable to a Beneficiary.
 
    It would be possible under this option for 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 date of the third Annuity payment, etc.
 
                                       18
<PAGE>
    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 the present
value as  of the  date of  the Annuitant's  death, of  any remaining  guaranteed
payments  will be paid in one sum to the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries designated
unless other provisions have been made and approved by Hartford Life.
 
    OPTION 3: 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.
Based on the options currently offered by Hartford Life, the Annuitant may elect
that  the payment to the survivor be less than the payment made during the joint
lifetime of the Annuitant and a designated second person.
 
    It would  be possible  under this  option for  an Annuitant  and  designated
second  person  to  receive only  one  payment in  the  event of  the  common or
simultaneous death of the parties prior to  the due date for the second  payment
and so on.
 
    OPTION 4: PAYMENTS FOR A DESIGNATED PERIOD
 
    An amount payable monthly for the number of years selected which may be from
5  to 30 years. Under this option, you  may, at any time, surrender the Contract
and receive,  within  seven days,  the  Termination  Value of  the  Contract  as
determined by Hartford Life.
 
    In  the event of  the Annuitant's death  prior to the  end of the designated
period, the  present value  as of  the date  of the  Annuitant's death,  of  any
remaining  guaranteed payments  will be  paid in one  sum to  the Beneficiary or
Beneficiaries designated unless other provisions have been made and approved  by
Hartford Life.
 
    Option  4 is an option that does  not involve life contingencies and thus no
mortality guarantee.  Charges  made  for the  mortality  undertaking  under  the
Contracts thus provide no real benefit to a Contract Owner.
 
    OPTION 5: DEATH BENEFIT REMAINING WITH HARTFORD LIFE
 
    Proceeds  from the Death Benefit may be left with Hartford Life for a period
not to exceed five years  from the date of the  Contract Owner's death prior  to
the  Annuity Commencement Date. These proceeds will remain in the Sub-Account(s)
to which they were allocated at the time of death unless the Beneficiary  elects
to  reallocate them. Full or partial withdrawals may be made at any time. In the
event of withdrawals, the remaining value  will equal the Contract Value of  the
proceeds left with Hartford Life, minus any withdrawals.
 
    Hartford Life may offer other annuity options from time to time.
 
    VARIABLE  AND FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS -- When  an Annuity is effected under a
Contract, unless otherwise specified,  Contract Values (less applicable  Premium
Taxes)  held in the Sub-Accounts  will be applied to  provide a Variable Annuity
based on the pro rata amount in the various Sub-Accounts. Fixed Account Contract
Values will  be applied  to provide  a Fixed  Annuity. YOU  SHOULD CONSIDER  THE
QUESTION  OF ALLOCATION OF CONTRACT VALUES (LESS APPLICABLE PREMIUM TAXES) AMONG
SUB-ACCOUNTS OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT AND THE GENERAL ACCOUNT OF HARTFORD LIFE TO
MAKE CERTAIN THAT ANNUITY PAYMENTS ARE BASED ON THE INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVE  BEST
SUITED TO YOUR NEEDS FOR RETIREMENT.
 
    The minimum monthly Annuity payment is $50.00. No election may be made which
results  in a first payment of less than $50.00. If at any time Annuity payments
are or  become less  than $50.00,  Hartford Life  has the  right to  change  the
frequency  of payment  to intervals  that will  result in  payments of  at least
$50.00. For New York Contracts, the minimum monthly Annuity payment is $20.00.
 
    When Annuity  payments  are  to  commence, the  value  of  the  Contract  is
determined  as the  sum of the  value of the  Fixed Account no  earlier than the
close of  business on  the fifth  Valuation  Day preceding  the date  the  first
Annuity payment is due plus the product of the value of the Accumulation Unit of
each Sub-Account on that same day, and the number of Accumulation Units credited
to each Sub-Account as of the date the Annuity is to commence.
 
                                       19

    VARIABLE  ANNUITY  -- The  Contract contains  tables indicating  the minimum
dollar amount of the first monthly payment under the optional variable forms  of
Annuity  for each $1,000 of  value of a Sub-Account  under a Contract. The first
monthly payment  varies according  to  the form  and  type of  Variable  Payment
Annuity  selected. The Contract contains Variable Payment Annuity tables derived
from the 1983a Individual  Annuity Mortality Table with  ages set back one  year
and  with an assumed investment rate ("A.I.R.") of 5% per annum. The total first
monthly  Variable  Annuity  payment  is  determined  by  multiplying  the  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.
 
    The  amount of the first monthly Variable  Annuity payment is divided by the
value of an  Annuity Unit for  the appropriate Sub-Account  no earlier than  the
close  of business  on the fifth  Valuation Day  preceding the day  on which the
payment is due in order to determine the number of Annuity Units represented  by
the first payment. This number of Annuity Units remains fixed during the Annuity
payment  period, and in each subsequent month  the dollar amount of the Variable
Annuity payment is determined by multiplying this fixed number of Annuity  Units
by the then current Annuity Unit value.
 
    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 for the day for which the Annuity Unit
value is being calculated, and (2) a factor to neutralize the assumed investment
rate of 5.00% per annum. The Annuity  Unit value used in calculating the  amount
of  the  Variable  Annuity payments  will  be  based on  an  Annuity  Unit value
determined as  of the  close of  business on  a day  no earlier  than the  fifth
Valuation Day preceding the date of the Annuity payment.
 
    LEVEL  VARIABLE ANNUITY  PAYMENTS WOULD BE  PRODUCED IF  THE INVESTMENT RATE
REMAINED CONSTANT AND EQUAL TO THE A.I.R. IN FACT, PAYMENTS WILL VARY UP OR DOWN
AS THE INVESTMENT RATE VARIES UP OR DOWN FROM THE A.I.R.
 
    FIXED ANNUITY -- Fixed Annuity  payments are determined at annuitization  by
multiplying  the Contract Value (less applicable Premium  Taxes) by a rate to be
determined by Hartford  Life which is  no less  than the rate  specified in  the
Fixed  Payment Annuity tables  in the Contract. The  Annuity payment will remain
level for the duration of the Annuity.
 
OTHER INFORMATION
 
    ASSIGNMENT  --  Ownership  of  a  Contract  described  herein  is  generally
assignable.  However,  if the  Contracts  are issued  pursuant  to some  form of
Qualified Plan, it is possible  that the ownership of  the Contracts may not  be
transferred  or  assigned depending  on the  type  of qualified  retirement plan
involved. An assignment of a  Non-Qualified Contract may subject the  assignment
proceeds to income taxes and certain penalty taxes.
 
    CONTRACT  MODIFICATION --  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)  or  (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.

                           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,
TRUSTEE 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 applicable  with respect to
certain purchase situations  not discussed  herein. In addition,  no attempt  is
made  here to  consider any  applicable state  or other  tax laws.  For detailed
information, a qualified tax adviser should always be consulted. The  discussion
here  and in  Appendix I,  commencing on  page 27,  is based  on Hartford Life's
understanding  of  current  Federal  income  tax  laws  as  they  are  currently
interpreted.
 
B. TAXATION OF HARTFORD LIFE AND THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
 
    The  Separate Account is taxed as part of  Hartford Life which is taxed as a
life insurance  company  in  accordance  with the  Internal  Revenue  Code  (the
"Code").  Accordingly, the  Separate Account will  not be taxed  as a "regulated
investment company" under  subchapter M  of Chapter  1 of  the Code.  Investment
income  and any realized capital gains on the assets of the Separate Account are
reinvested  and  are  taken  into  account  in  determining  the  value  of  the
Accumulation  and Annuity Units (See "Value of Accumulation Units" commencing on
page 13). 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 the Separate Account with respect to Qualified or  Non-Qualified
Contracts.
 
C. TAXATION OF ANNUITIES -- GENERAL PROVISIONS AFFECTING PURCHASERS OTHER THAN
   QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLANS
 
    Section 72 of the Internal Revenue Code governs the taxation of annuities in
general.
 
 1. NON-NATURAL PERSONS, CORPORATIONS, ETC.
 
    Section  72 contains  provisions for  Contract Owners  which are non-natural
persons. Non-natural persons include corporations, trusts, and partnerships. The
annual net increase in the value of the Contract is currently includable in  the
gross  income of  a non-natural person  unless the non-natural  person holds the
Contract as an agent for  a natural person. There  is an exception from  current
inclusion for certain annuities held by structured settlement companies, certain
annuities  held by an employer with respect to a terminated qualified retirement
plan and certain immediate annuities. 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.
 
    If the Contract Owner is not  an individual, the primary Annuitant shall  be
treated  as the  Contract Owner for  purposes of making  distributions which are
required to be made upon the death of  the Contract Owner. If there is a  change
in  the primary  Annuitant, such  change shall  be treated  as the  death of the
Contract Owner.
 
 2. OTHER CONTRACT OWNERS (NATURAL PERSONS).
 
    A Contract Owner  is not taxed  on increases  in the value  of the  Contract
until  an amount is received or deemed received, e.g., in the form of a lump sum
payment (full or partial value of a  Contract) or as Annuity payments under  the
settlement option elected.
 
    The  provisions  of  Section 72  of  the Code  concerning  distributions are
summarized  briefly  below.   Also  summarized  are   special  rules   affecting
distributions  from Contracts obtained in a  tax-free exchange for other annuity
contracts or life insurance contracts which  were purchased prior to August  14,
1982.
 
                                       21
<PAGE>
    A. DISTRIBUTIONS PRIOR TO THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE.
 
       i. Total premium payments less amounts received which were not includable
          in  gross income equal the "investment  in the contract" under Section
          72 of the Code.
 
       ii. To the extent that the value of the Contract (ignoring any  surrender
           charges  except on a  full surrender) exceeds  the "investment in the
           contract," such excess constitutes the "income on the contract."
 
      iii. Any  amount  received  or  deemed  received  prior  to  the   Annuity
           Commencement  Date (e.g., upon a partial surrender) is deemed to come
           first  from  any  such  "income  on  the  contract"  and  then   from
           "investment  in the contract," and for these purposes such "income on
           the contract" shall be computed by reference to any aggregation  rule
           in  subparagraph 2.c. below. As a result, any such amount received or
           deemed received (1) shall be includable in gross income to the extent
           that such amount does not exceed  any such "income on the  contract,"
           and  (2) shall not be  includable in gross income  to the extent that
           such amount does exceed any such "income on the contract." If at  the
           time  that  any amount  is received  or deemed  received there  is no
           "income on  the  contract" (e.g.,  because  the gross  value  of  the
           Contract  does not  exceed the  "investment in  the contract"  and no
           aggregation rule  applies),  then  such  amount  received  or  deemed
           received  will not  be includable  in gross  income, and  will simply
           reduce the "investment in the contract."
 
       iv. The receipt  of  any amount  as  a loan  under  the Contract  or  the
           assignment  or pledge  of any  portion of  the value  of the Contract
           shall  be  treated  as  an  amount  received  for  purposes  of  this
           subparagraph a. and the next subparagraph b.
 
       v. In  general, the transfer  of the Contract,  without full and adequate
          consideration, will be treated as  an amount received for purposes  of
          this  subparagraph a. and the next  subparagraph b. This transfer rule
          does not  apply, however,  to certain  transfers of  property  between
          spouses or incident to divorce.
 
    B. DISTRIBUTIONS AFTER ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE.
 
    Annuity  payments made periodically after  the Annuity Commencement Date are
includable in  gross  income  to  the extent  the  payments  exceed  the  amount
determined  by the application of the ratio  of the "investment in the contract"
to the total amount of  the payments to be  made after the Annuity  Commencement
Date (the "exclusion ratio").
 
       i. When  the total of amounts excluded  from income by application of the
          exclusion ratio is equal to the  investment in the contract as of  the
          Annuity   Commencement  Date,   any  additional   payments  (including
          surrenders) will be entirely includable in gross income.
 
       ii. If the annuity payments cease by reason of the death of the Annuitant
           and, as of the date of death, the amount of annuity payments excluded
           from gross  income  by  the  exclusion  ratio  does  not  exceed  the
           investment  in the contract as of the Annuity Commencement Date, then
           the remaining portion of unrecovered investment shall be allowed as a
           deduction for the last taxable year of the Annuitant.
 
      iii. Generally, nonperiodic amounts received or deemed received after  the
           Annuity Commencement Date are not entitled to any exclusion ratio and
           shall  be  fully includable  in gross  income.  However, upon  a full
           surrender after such  date, only  the excess of  the amount  received
           (after  any surrender charge)  over the remaining  "investment in the
           contract" shall be includable in  gross income (except to the  extent
           that the aggregation rule referred to in the next subparagraph c. may
           apply).
 
    C. AGGREGATION OF TWO OR MORE ANNUITY CONTRACTS.
 
    Contracts  issued after October 21, 1988  by the same insurer (or affiliated
insurer) to the same  Contract Owner within the  same calendar year (other  than
certain   contracts  held   in  connection   with  a   tax-qualified  retirement
arrangement) will  be  treated  as  one annuity  Contract  for  the  purpose  of
determining  the  taxation of  distributions prior  to the  Annuity Commencement
Date. An annuity contract  received in a tax-free  exchange for another  annuity
contract  or life insurance contract  may be treated as  a new Contract for this
purpose.  Hartford  Life  believes  that   for  any  annuity  subject  to   such
aggregation,  the values under the Contracts and the investment in the contracts
will be added together to determine the taxation under subparagraph 2.a., above,
 
                                       22
<PAGE>
of amounts received or deemed received  prior to the Annuity Commencement  Date.
Withdrawals  will first  be treated  as withdrawals of  income until  all of the
income from all such Contracts is withdrawn. As of the date of this  Prospectus,
there are no regulations interpreting this provision.
 
    D.  10%  PENALTY  TAX  --  APPLICABLE  TO  CERTAIN  WITHDRAWALS  AND ANNUITY
  PAYMENTS.
 
       i. If any amount is received or  deemed received on the Contract  (before
          or  after the Annuity  Commencement Date), the  Code applies a penalty
          tax equal to ten  percent of the portion  of the amount includable  in
          gross income, unless an exception applies.
 
       ii. The  10% penalty  tax will not  apply to  the following distributions
           (exceptions vary based upon the precise plan involved):
 
         1. Distributions made on or after  the date the recipient has  attained
            the age of 59 1/2.
 
         2. Distributions  made on or after the death of the holder or where the
            holder is not an individual, the death of the primary annuitant.
 
         3. Distributions attributable to a recipient's becoming disabled.
 
         4. A distribution that is part  of a scheduled series of  substantially
            equal  periodic payments  for the life  (or life  expectancy) of the
            recipient (or the joint lives or life expectancies of the  recipient
            and the recipient's Beneficiary).
 
         5. Distributions  of amounts which are  allocable to the "investment in
            the contract" prior to August 14, 1982 (see next subparagraph e.).
 
    E. SPECIAL  PROVISIONS  AFFECTING  CONTRACTS  OBTAINED  THROUGH  A  TAX-FREE
       EXCHANGE  OF OTHER ANNUITY OR LIFE INSURANCE CONTRACTS PURCHASED PRIOR TO
       AUGUST 14, 1982.
 
    If the Contract was obtained by a  tax-free exchange of a life insurance  or
annuity Contract purchased prior to August 14, 1982, then any amount received or
deemed  received prior to the Annuity Commencement  Date shall be deemed to come
(1) first from the amount  of the "investment in  the contract" prior to  August
14,  1982 ("pre-8/14/82 investment")  carried over from  the prior Contract, (2)
then from the portion of the "income on the contract" (carried over to, as  well
as  accumulating  in,  the  successor Contract)  that  is  attributable  to such
pre-8/14/82 investment, (3) then from the remaining "income on the contract" and
(4) last from the remaining  "investment in the contract."  As a result, to  the
extent  that  such  amount received  or  deemed  received does  not  exceed such
pre-8/14/82 investment,  such  amount is  not  includable in  gross  income.  In
addition,  to the extent that  such amount received or  deemed received does not
exceed the sum of  (a) such pre-8/14/82  investment and (b)  the "income on  the
contract"  attributable thereto, such  amount is not subject  to the 10% penalty
tax. In  all other  respects,  amounts received  or  deemed received  from  such
post-exchange  Contracts are  generally subject to  the rules  described in this
subparagraph 3.
 
    F. REQUIRED DISTRIBUTIONS.
 
       i. Death of Contract Owner or Primary Annuitant
 
       Subject to the alternative election  or spouse beneficiary provisions  in
  ii or iii below:
 
        1. If  any Contract Owner dies on or after the Annuity Commencement Date
           and before the entire interest in the Contract has been  distributed,
           the  remaining portion of such interest shall be distributed at least
           as rapidly as under the method  of distribution being used as of  the
           date of such death;
 
        2. If  any Contract Owner dies before the Annuity Commencement Date, the
           entire interest in the  Contract will be  distributed within 5  years
           after such death; and
 
        3. If  the Contract Owner is not an  individual, then for purposes of 1.
           or 2.  above,  the primary  annuitant  under the  Contract  shall  be
           treated  as  the  Contract  Owner,  and  any  change  in  the primary
           annuitant shall be treated  as the death of  the Contract Owner.  The
           primary  annuitant is the individual, the  events in the life of whom
           are of primary importance  in affecting the timing  or amount of  the
           payout under the Contract.
 
       ii. Alternative Election to Satisfy Distribution Requirements
 
                                       23
<PAGE>
        If any portion of the interest of a Contract Owner described in i. above
        is  payable  to or  for the  benefit of  a designated  beneficiary, such
        beneficiary may elect to have the portion distributed over a period that
        does not extend beyond the life  or life expectancy of the  beneficiary.
        The election and payments must begin within a year of the death.
 
      iii. Spouse Beneficiary
 
      If  any portion of the  interest of a Contract Owner  is payable to or for
  the benefit of his or her spouse, and the Annuitant or Contingent Annuitant is
  living, such spouse shall be treated as the Contract Owner of such portion for
  purposes of section i. above.
 
 3. 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 Department.  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  Department  has  issued  diversification  regulations  which
generally require, among other things, that no more than 55% of the value of the
total assets of the segregated asset  account underlying a variable contract  is
represented  by any one investment,  no more than 70%  is represented by any two
investments, no more than  80% is represented by  any three investments, and  no
more than 90% is represented by any four investments. In determining whether the
diversification  standards  are  met, all  securities  of the  same  issuer, all
interests in  the same  real property  project, and  all interests  in the  same
commodity  are each treated as a single  investment. In addition, in the case of
government securities,  each  government  agency  or  instrumentality  shall  be
treated as a separate issuer.
 
    A  separate account must be in compliance with the diversification standards
on the last day  of each calendar  quarter or within 30  days after the  quarter
ends.  If an insurance  company inadvertently fails  to meet the diversification
requirements, the company may  comply within a reasonable  period and avoid  the
taxation  of 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.
 
 4. 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  ("IRS") has issued  several rulings  which
discuss  investor control. The IRS has ruled  that incidents of ownership by the
contract owner,  such as  the ability  to select  and control  investments in  a
separate  account, will cause the  contract owner to be  treated as the owner of
the assets for tax purposes.
 
    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.

<PAGE>
D. FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
 
    The  portion of a distribution which is taxable income to the recipient will
be subject to Federal  income tax withholding, pursuant  to Section 3405 of  the
Code. The application of this provision is summarized below:
 
 1. 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. If
the  necessary election forms are not  submitted to Hartford Life, Hartford Life
will automatically withhold 10% of the taxable distribution.
 
 2. 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.

F. 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.

                                   APPENDIX I
 
                   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.
 
A. QUALIFIED PENSION PLANS
 
    Provisions  of the  Code 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.
 
B. 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:
 
    (1) after the participating employee attains age 59 1/2;
 
    (2) upon separation from service;
 
    (3) upon death or disability, or
 
    (4) 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  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.
 
C. 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 of 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
 
                                       27
<PAGE>
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 Section 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.
 
D. 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.
 
E. 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.
 
 1. 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).
 
 2. 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  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  individuals' 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.
 
                                       28
<PAGE>
    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.
 
 3. 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.
 
 4. 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:
 
    (a) the non-taxable portion of the distribution;
 
    (b) required minimum distributions;
 
    (c) 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.

                                     INTRODUCTION

The individual and group tax-deferred variable annuity Contracts described in
the Prospectus are designed to provide Annuity benefits to individuals who have
established or wish to establish retirement programs which may or may not
qualify for special federal income tax treatment.  The Annuitant under these
Contracts may receive Annuity benefits in accordance with the Annuity option
selected and the retirement program, if any, under which the Contracts have been
purchased.  Annuity payments under a Contract will begin on a particular future
date which may be selected at any time under the Contract or automatically when
the Annuitant reaches age 90 except in certain states where deferral past age 85
is not permitted.  There are several alternative annuity payment options
available under the Contract (see "Optional Annuity Forms," commencing on page 
   ).

The Premium Payments under a Contract, less any applicable Premium Taxes, will
be applied to the Separate Account and/or the Fixed Account.  Accordingly, the
net Premium Payment under the Contract will be applied to purchase interests in
one or more of the Hartford Bond Fund, Hartford Stock Fund,  HVA Money Market
Fund (for qualified Contracts issued prior to May 1, 1987), Hartford Advisers
Fund, Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund, Inc., Hartford Dividend and Growth,
Hartford Index Fund, Hartford International Advisers Fund, Hartford
International Opportunities Fund, Hartford Mortgage Securities Fund, and
Hartford U.S. Government Money Market Fund Sub-Accounts.

Shares of the Funds are purchased by the Separate Account without the imposition
of a sales charge.  The value of a Contract depends on the value of the shares
of the Fund held by the Separate Account pursuant to that Contract.  As a
result, the Contract Owner bears the investment risk since market value of the
shares may increase or decrease.

There is no assurance that the value of the Contract Owner's Contract at any
time will equal or exceed the Premium Payments made.  However, if the Annuitant
or Contract Owner dies before the Annuity Commencement Date, the Contracts
provide that a death benefit equal to the value of the Contract as of the date
due proof of death is received by Hartford Life Insurance Company ("Hartford
Life") shall be payable.  This amount is the greater of (a) the Contract Value
on the date of receipt of due proof of death by Hartford Life, or (b) 100% of
the total Premium Payments made to such Contract, reduced by any prior
surrenders, or (c) the Maximum Anniversary Value (See "Death Benefits"
commencing on page _____ of the Prospectus).

                    DESCRIPTION OF HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

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 5085, Hartford, CT  06102-5085.

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

                                         -2-

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 Contract.

As of  December 31, 1995, certain Hartford Life Insurance Company group pension
Contracts held direct interest in shares as follows:


                                                                    Percent of

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 and the type of Annuity payment option selected, and
(2) the investment performance of the investment medium selected.  Fixed Annuity
payments are based on the Annuity tables contained in the Contracts, and will
remain level for the duration of the Annuity.

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," commencing on
page ___ of the Prospectus).


For a Variable Annuity 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 Variable Annuity payments will vary
with the investment experience of the Fund shares selected.

B. Electing the Annuity Commencement Date and Form of Annuity

The Contract Owner selects an Annuity Commencement Date and an Annuity option
which may be on a fixed or variable basis, or a combination thereof.  The
Annuity Commencement Date will not be deferred beyond the Annuitant's 90th
birthday, except in certain states where deferral past age 85 is not permitted.

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.

The Contract contains the five optional Annuity forms described below.  Options
2, 4 and 5 are available with respect to Qualified Contracts only if the
guaranteed payment period is less than the

<PAGE>

                                         -4-

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.

With respect to Non-Qualified Contracts, if you do not elect otherwise, payments
will automatically begin at the Annuitant's age 90 (with the exception of states
that do not allow deferral past age 85) under Option 2 with 120 monthly payments
certain.

For Qualified Contracts and Contracts issued in Texas, if you do not elect
otherwise, payments will begin automatically at the Annuitant's age 90 (with the
exception of states that do not allow deferral past age 85) under Option 1 to
provide a life Annuity.

When an Annuity is effected under a Contract, unless otherwise specified,
variable values will be applied to provide a Variable Annuity based on Contract
Values as they are held in the various Sub-Accounts under the Contracts.  Fixed
Account Contract Values will be applied to provide a Fixed Annuity.  The
Contract Owner should consider the question of allocation of Contract Values
among Sub-Accounts of the Separate Account and the General Account of Hartford
Life  to make certain that Annuity payments are based on the investment
alternative best suited to the Contract Owner's needs for retirement.

If at any time Annuity payments with respect to a Variable or a Fixed Annuity or
a combination of the two are or become less than $50.00 per payment, Hartford
Life has the right to change the frequency of payment to such intervals as will
result in Annuity payments of at least $50.00.  For New York Contracts the
minimum payment is $20.00

There may be other annuity options available offered by Hartford Life from time
to time.

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. 
This option offers the maximum level of monthly payments of any of the life
Annuity options since there is no guarantee of a minimum number of payments nor
a provision for a death benefit payable to a Beneficiary.

It would be possible under this option for 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.

<PAGE>

                                         -5-

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 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 Annuitant's death of 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.

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

    1.  Net amount applied                                     13,978.25
    2.  Initial monthly income per $1,000 of payment applied        6.24
    3.  Initial monthly payment (1x2 divided by 1,000)             87.22
    4.  Annuity Unit value                                           .953217
    5.  Number of monthly Annuity Units (3 divided by 4)           91.501
    6.  Assume Annuity Unit value for second month equal to          .963723
    7.  Second monthly payment (6x5)                               88.18
    8.  Assume Annuity Unit value for third month equal to           .964917
    9.  Third monthly payment (8x5)                                88.29

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

OPTION 3:  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 4:  Payments for a Designated Period

An amount payable monthly for the number of years selected which may be from 5
to 30 years.  Under this option, you may, at any time, surrender the Contract
and receive, within seven days, the Termination Value of the Contract.

In the event of the Annuitant's death prior to the end of the designated period,
the present value as of the date of the Annuitant's death, of the current dollar
amount of any remaining guaranteed monthly payments will be paid in one sum to
the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries designated.

<PAGE>

                                         -6-

Option 4 is an option that does not involve life contingencies and thus no
mortality guarantee.  Charges made for the mortality undertaking under the
Contracts thus provide no real benefit to a Contract Owner.

OPTION 5:  Death Benefit Remaining with the Company

Proceeds from the Death Benefit may be left with the Company for a period not to
exceed  five years from the date of the Contract Owner's death prior to the
Annuity Commencement Date.  The proceeds will remain in the Sub-Account(s) to
which they were allocated at the time of death unless the Beneficiary elects to
reallocate them.  Full or partial withdrawals may be made at any time.  In the
event of withdrawals, the remaining value will equal the Contract Value of the
proceeds left with the Company, minus any withdrawals.  Contingent Deferred
Sales Charges, if applicable, will also be applied to all withdrawals.  For
purposes of determining this charge, the original Contract Date of this Contract
will be used.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Under any of the Annuity options above, excluding Option 4, no surrenders are
permitted after Annuity payments commence.  Only full surrenders are allowed out
of Option 4 and any such surrender will be subject to contingent deferred
charges, if applicable.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

D. The Annuity Unit and Valuation

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 page 11 of the Prospectus) for the
day for which the Annuity Unit value is being calculated, and (2) a factor to
neutralize the assumed investment rate of 5.00% per annum discussed in Section
E. below.

                  Illustration of Calculation of Annuity Unit Value
                  -------------------------------------------------

    1.  Net Investment Factor for period                            1.011225
    2.  Adjustment for 5% Assumed Rate of Investment Return          .999892
    3.  2x1                                                         1.011116
    4.  Annuity Unit value, beginning of period                      .995995
    5.  Annuity Unit value, end of period (3x4)                     1.007066

E. Determination of Amount of First Monthly Annuity Payment-Fixed and Variable

When Annuity payments are to commence, the value of the Contract is determined
as the sum of the value of the Fixed Account no earlier than the close of
business on the fifth Valuation Day preceding the date the first Annuity payment
is due plus the product of the value of the Accumulation Unit of each
Sub-Account on that same day, and the number of Accumulation Units credited to
each Sub-Account as of the date the Annuity is to commence.

<PAGE>

                                         -7-

The Contract contains tables indicating the minimum 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 and type of Annuity selected.  The Contracts contains Annuity tables
derived from the 1983a Individual Annuity Mortality table with ages set back one
year with an assumed investment rate ("A.I.R.") of 5% per annum.  The total
first monthly Variable 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.

Fixed Annuity payments are determined at annuitization by multiplying the values
allocated to the Fixed Account by a rate to be determined by Hartford Life which
is no less than the rate specified in the Annuity tables in the Contract. The
Annuity payment will remain level for the duration of the Annuity.

F. Amount of Second and Subsequent Monthly Variable Annuity Payments

The amount of the first monthly Variable Annuity payment, determined as
described above, is divided by the value of an Annuity Unit for the appropriate
Sub-Account no earlier than the close of business on the fifth Valuation Day
preceding the day on which the payment is due in order to determine the number
of Annuity Units represented by the first payment.  This number of Annuity Units
remains fixed during the Annuity Period, and in each subsequent month the dollar
amount of the Variable Annuity payment is determined by multiplying this fixed
number of Annuity Units by the then current Annuity Unit value.

Level Variable Annuity Payments would be produced if the investment rate
remained constant and equal to the A.I.R.  In fact, payments will vary up or
down as the investment rate varies up or down from the A.I.R.

G. Date and Time of Annuity Payments

The Annuity payments will be made on the fifteenth day of each month following
selection.  The Annuity Unit value used in calculating the amount of the
Variable Annuity payments will be based on an Annuity Unit value determined as
of the close of business on a day no earlier than the fifth Valuation Day
preceding the date of the Annuity payment.

                           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 HVA 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

<PAGE>

                                         -8-

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 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 HVA 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 POLICY FEE.

HVA Money Market Fund Sub-Account

The yield and effective yield for the seven day period ending December 31, 1995
is as follows:

            ($30 annual policy fee)

Yield              4.03%
Effective Yield    4.11%

Hartford U.S. Government Money Market Fund Sub-Account

The yield and effective yield for the seven day period ending December 31, 1995
is as follows:

            ($30 annual policy fee)

Yield              3.72%
Effective Yield    3.79%

YIELDS OF BOND FUND AND 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 fund's "net asset value per share"
for the same period in addition to the daily expense charge 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 policy fee.
BOND FUND SUB-ACCOUNT

<PAGE>

                                         -9-

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 day period ended December 31,
1995.

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

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

<PAGE>

                                         -10-

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 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 to
prospective shareholders.  Each Sub-Account may from time to time include its
yield and total return in advertisements or information furnished to present to
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 and Morningstar, Inc. 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 Composite 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 Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index (the "EAFE Index") is an
unmanaged index, which includes over 1,000 companies representing the stock
markets of Europe,  Australia,

<PAGE>

                                         -11-

New Zealand, and the Far East.  The EAFE Index is weighted by market
capitalization, and therefore, it has a heavy representation in countries with
large stock markets, such as Japan.

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
issued 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 Composite Index for Hartford Advisers Fund is comprised of the S&P 500
(55%), the Lehman Government/Corporate Bond Index (35%), both mentioned above,
and 90 Day U.S. Treasury Bills (10%).

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.

 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.

                                         F-7

<PAGE>

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 26.  Persons Controlled By or Under Common Control with the Depositor or
          Registrant

          Exhibit 26 is incorporated herein.

Item 27.  Number of Contract Owners

          As of December 31, 1995, there were       Contract Owners.

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 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 or 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

<PAGE>

                                       -5-

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.

                                                                    [Exhibit 3a]
                         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 a separate account within HLIC in accordance with the laws of the State of
Connecticut, which separate account was organized and is established and
registered as a unit investment trust type investment company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940
("1940 Act"), as amended, and which is designated Hartford Life Insurance
Company Separate Account Two (referred to as the "UIT"); and

WHEREAS, HSD offers to the public a certain Flexible Premium Variable Annuity
Insurance Contract (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;

    (c)    Of the happening of any material event, if known, which makes untrue
           any statement in

                                       10

<PAGE>

           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.

                             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
           Registered Products and appropriate sales promotional


                                        3
<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
           and/or service fees in the amounts, in the manner and for the period
           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
           of Broker-Dealer appearing on Companies' records, or in the event of
           termination by Broker-Dealer, to the Home Office of Companies at
           P.O. Box 2999, Hartford, Connecticut 06104-2999.

                                    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.

RE:  SEPARATE ACCOUNT TWO ("SEPARATE ACCOUNT")
     HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY ("COMPANY")
     FILE NO. 33-73570

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
