(a) Inception date October 14, 1999
In the "Highlights" section under the sub-section "Can I take out any of my
money?", the first paragraph is deleted and replaced with the following
language:
You may Surrender all or part of the amounts you have invested at any time
before we start making Annuity Payouts. Once Annuity Payouts begin, you may take
full or partial Surrenders under the Payments for a Period Certain, Life Annuity
with Payments for a Period Certain or the Joint and Last Survivor Life Annuity
with Payments for a Period Certain Annuity Options, but only if you selected the
variable dollar amount Annuity Payouts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- You may have to pay income tax on the money you take out and, if you
Surrender before you are age 59 1/2, you may have to pay an income tax
penalty.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<PAGE>
In the "Highlights" section, under the subsection "What Annuity Payout Options
are available?" the second paragraph is deleted and replaced with the following:
You must begin to take payments before the Annuitant's 90th birthday or the
end of the 10th Contract Year, whichever comes later, unless you elect a
later date to begin receiving payments subject to the laws and regulations
then in effect and our approval. If you do not tell us what Annuity Payout
Option you want before that time, we will pay you under the variable Life
Annuity with a 10 year Period Certain Annuity Option. If your Contract is
issued in New York, you cannot defer beyond the Annuitant's 90th birthday.
Please consult your Registered Representative or call us.
In the "General Contract Information" section, immediately under the table
entitled "Hartford's Ratings" the following paragraph is added:
These ratings apply to Hartford's ability to meet its obligations under the
Contract. The ratings do not apply to the Separate Account or the underlying
Funds.
In the "Surrenders" section, under the sub-section entitled "What kinds of
surrenders are available?", the paragraph entitled "Partial Surrenders after the
Annuity Commencement Date" is deleted and replaced with the following language:
PARTIAL SURRENDERS AFTER THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE -- Partial Surrenders are
permitted after the Annuity Commencement Date if you select the Life Annuity
With Payments for a Period Certain, Joint and Last Survivor Life Annuity With
Payments for a Period Certain or the Payment for a Period Certain Annuity Payout
Option. You may take partial Surrenders of amounts equal to the Commuted Value
of the payments that we would have made during the "Period Certain" or the
number of years you select under the Annuity Payout Option that we guarantee to
make Annuity Payouts.
To qualify for partial Surrenders under these Annuity Payout Options you must
elect a variable dollar amount Annuity Payout and you must make the Surrender
request during the Period Certain.
If you elect to take the entire Commuted Value of the Annuity Payouts we would
have made during the Period Certain, Hartford will not make any Annuity Payouts
during the remaining Period Certain. If you elect to take only some of the
Commuted Value of the Annuity Payouts we would have made during the Period
Certain, Hartford will reduce the remaining Annuity Payouts during the remaining
Period Certain. Annuity Payouts that are to be made after the Period Certain is
over will not change.
PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR TAX ADVISER BECAUSE THERE COULD BE ADVERSE TAX
CONSEQUENCES FOR PARTIAL SURRENDERS AFTER THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE.
In the "Annuity Payouts" section, under the subsection "2. Which Annuity Payout
Option do you want to use?" under the subsection "Important Information", that
last two bulleted paragraphs are deleted and replaced with the following:
- For Non-Qualified Contracts, if you do not elect an Annuity Payout Option,
variable Annuity Payouts will automatically begin on the Annuity Commencement
Date under the Life Annuity with Payments for a Period Certain Annuity Payout
Option with period certain payouts for 10 years.
- For Qualified Contracts and Contracts issued in Texas, if you do not elect an
Annuity Payout Option, variable Annuity Payouts will begin automatically on
the Annuity Commencement Date, under the Life Annuity Payout Option.

Item 26. Persons Controlled By or Under Common Control with the Depositor or
Registrant
Filed herewith as Exhibit 16.
Item 27. Number of Contract Owners
As of July 31, 2000, there were 2,882 Contract Owners.
Item 28. Indemnification
Sections 33-770 to 33-778, inclusive, of the Connecticut General
Statutes ("CGS") provide that a corporation may provide indemnification
of or advance expenses to a director, officer, employee or agent.
Reference is hereby made to Section 33-771(e) of CGS regarding
indemnification of directors and Section 33-776(d) of CGS regarding
indemnification of officers, employees and agents of Connecticut
corporations. These statutes provide, in general, that Connecticut
corporations incorporated prior to January 1, 1997 shall, except to the
extent that their certificate of incorporation expressly provides
otherwise, indemnify their directors, officers, employees and agents
against "liability" (defined as the obligation to pay a judgment,
settlement, penalty, fine, including an excise tax assessed with
respect to an employee benefit plan, or reasonable expenses incurred
with respect to a proceeding) when (1) a determination is made pursuant
to Section 33-775 that the party seeking indemnification has met the
standard of conduct set forth in Section 33-771 or (2) a court has
determined that indemnification is appropriate pursuant to Section
33-774. Under Section 33-775, the determination of and the
authorization for indemnification are made (a) by the disinterested
directors, as defined in Section 33-770(3); (b) by special counsel; (c)
by the shareholders; or (d) in the case of indemnification of an
officer, agent or employee of the corporation, by the general counsel
of the corporation or such other officer(s) as the board of directors
may specify. Also, Section 33-772 provides that a corporation shall
indemnify an individual who was wholly successful on the merits or
otherwise against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection
with a proceeding to which he was a party because he was a director of
the corporation. In the case of a proceeding by or in the right of the
corporation or with respect to conduct for which the director, officer,
agent or employee was adjudged liable on the basis that he received a
financial benefit to which he was not entitled, indemnification is
limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the
proceeding against the corporation to which the individual was named a
party.
Under the Depositor's bylaws, the Depositor must indemnify both
directors and officers of the Depositor for (1) any claims and
liabilities to which they become subject by reason of being or having
been directors or officers of the Depositor and (2) legal and other
expenses incurred in defending against such claims, in each case, to
the extent such is consistent with statutory provisions.
Section 33-777 of CGS specifically authorizes a corporation to procure
indemnification insurance on behalf of an individual who was a
director, officer,
<PAGE>
employer or agent of the corporation. Consistent with the statute, the
directors and officers of the Depositor and Hartford Securities
Distribution Company, Inc. ("HSD") are covered under a directors and
officers liability insurance policy issued to The Hartford Financial
Services Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion
of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Insurance, Ref. No. IP-6-88, November 28, 1988. The Registrant has
