RE: HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY SEPARATE ACCOUNT TWO
FILE NO. 333-69485
Dear Sir/Madam:
I have acted as General Counsel to Hartford Life Insurance Company (the
"Company"), a Connecticut insurance company, and Hartford Life Insurance
Company Separate Account Two (the "Account") in Connecticut with the
registration of an indefinite amount of securities in the form of variable
annuity contracts (the "Contracts") with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. I have examined such
documents (including the Form N-4 registration statement) and reviewed such
questions of law as I considered necessary and appropriate, and on the basis
of such examination and review, it is my opinion that:
1. The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing as a
stock life insurance company under the laws of the State of Connecticut
and is duly authorized by the Insurance Department of the State of
Connecticut to issue the Contracts.
2. The Account is a duly authorized and existing separate account
established pursuant to the provisions of Section 38a-433 of the
Connecticut Statutes.
3. To the extent so provided under the Contracts, that portion of the assets
of the Account equal to the reserves and other contract liabilities with
respect to the Account will not be chargeable with liabilities arising
out of any other business that the Company may conduct.
4. The Contracts, when issued as contemplated by the Form N-4 Registration
Statement, will constitute legal, validly issued and binding obligations
of the Company.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Form N-4
registration statement for the Contracts and the Account.
Sincerely yours,
/s/ Christine Hayer Repasy
